The Huron Expositor, 1984-07-18, Page 4e- - THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JULY 18, 1984 • DUBLIN AND AREA Bicycle parade in Dublin has 36 entries Correspondent JOAN CRONIN 345.2772 This was just another fabulous week as far as the weather was concerned. The bright sunny days made two things brown - the sun bathers and the (awns. Each week that goes by between now and fall, we see so many wonderful changes. If you drive through the farming areas you can see the different grains fill out "and change color in readiness for harvest; you can see the beans blossom and grow and as September draws near the leaves turn from green to yellow making themselves ready for the combine to swoop them up. The corn fields act like fortress walls when growing around buildings as they tower over one's head. It's a pleasant sound in the quiet of the late evening to listen to the rustle of the corn stalks as the long narrow leaves stretch towards the sky and sip from the evening dew. In the villages and towns and cities the hustle and the bustle of the traffic and its peoples lends way to an evening stroll or a leisurely bike ride to get some of that super. fresh air. .We all live in such a beautiful province with so much to see and experience. The summer holidays will soon be half over for the school children as time goes by so quickly. Enjoy life today for tomorrow comes but too soon. See the treasures that lie in our heritage and observe our communities history in the making. DUBL]NFEST HAS GOOD WEATHER Dublinfest was held at the park on Saturday and what a perfect day for It.

Liberal commission forming Women have a more important political function than just licking stamps, Employ- ment and Immigration Minister John Roberts told the founding meeting of the Perth Women's Liberal Commission. The also-ran in the recent Liberal leader- ship campaign said women can work at every level of the. party. There 'were about 20 women, representing a wide age group at the formation meeting July 5 in Stratford, Mr. Roberts said that about 1600 women, about half, were delegates at the June leadership convention. This comparesoto about 400 women delegates in 1968. "This relects a shift that must take place," said the'•federal minister. He said this is an exciting time for women to enter the political process. "The next few days, few weeks will set the course of politics into the next century." The women formed a founding committee. Mary Hill of Stratford, will formulate the direction the women's commission should take. • Th'is basic committee from Perth County, along with Heather Redick of RR 2, Zurich in the federal riding of Huron•Bruce will put these ideas together over the summer months. The commission's first formal meeting is expected to be held in Sept. Mrs. Hill said it is possible that the Perth Women's Commission may unite forces with a similar group in Huron County. There is presently no such commission in Huron but Mrs. Hill said the commission doesn't have to follow political boundaries, "The stated purpose of the Women's Liberal Commission is to provide a forum for women to promote a better society by developing an awareness of political issues and policies among Canadian women and to increase their active participation at all levels of the Liberal Party of Canada," states the guidelines used to form the commission. The guidelines identify the Affirmative Action Policy as an available tool to bring about necessary changes. Women's commis- sions are another tool identified. "Working together, women can provide a strong presence in the political arena and ensure that their collective voice is heard on every elected body in the (Liberal) party and in the government," concludes the guide- lines. . The women forming the founding commit- tee are Mrs. Hill, Sue Clarke, Ruth Neilson and Lauren Armstrong all of Stratford and Elizabeth Willems of Mitchell and Kathryn McCotter of St. Marys.

When dry weather arrives, shallow roots cannot supply enough water to the plant to keep it healthy. Deep rooted crops also withstand wind and stand better at maturity as well.
