At the provincial level, Ontario's Environment Minister, Keith Norton, has both attacked people who said there was even a poten- tial hazard, and agreed that no one can tell what the long-term effects will be.

Any young lady, between 20 apd 45 years of age, desirous of a husband, can obtain one by applying personally at a young gentle- man's residence, between Scott's corner and Belgrave, who expresses himself as being very desirous of being united in wedlock, and solicits all applicable to appear on the first Tuesday in July, between 7 o'clock a.m. and 4 o'clock p.m. as they will be cordially received by the gentleman himself, who is desirous of "making his choice' at 4 o'clock sharp. Query) who will be the fortunate one? JULY 3, 1908 At the monthly meeting of the directors of the McKillop insurance Company on Friday a large number of claims were settled for damage caused by lightning during the recent thunderstorms. Tuckersmith Council decided at its meeting on Saturday to have a new bridge built in the village of Egmondville to replace the old iron one now there. David McIntosh, of Brucefield, who has filled the position of Postmaster here for several years with credit to himself and to entire satisfaction of the people and the department has resigned and Andrew T. Scott has been recommended as Mr. Mclntosh's successor. The post office will be moved from its present location to Mr. Scott's store. JUNE 30, 1933 The cool woods on the farm of John Scott at Roxboro made a pleasant and beautiful setting for the centennary picnic of the Scott -Dickson families on Friday afternoon last. Over 150 relatives and friends of the families were present to renew acquaint- ances and to do honor o the memory of those hardy pioneers w in 1833 arrived at Roxboro, then a virgin bush. Dr. F.J.

JULY 4, 1958 Purchase of an eight acre site in Seaforth on which will be erected a modern shoe factory was announced this week by Fred R. Peel, manager of Seaforth Shoes Ltd. The site, located in the northwest section of town, was purchased from Harvey Mc- Llwain. With the completion of its new factory Seaforth Shoes will vacate its Main Street location. This in turn is being purchased by the town for 520,000, to be made available to another industry. George C.

"i'm overjoyed that I'm finally finished public school," As for the summer, Cindy plans to do nothing 'I'm glad to be going to high school and artt'hoping 1 won't get lost." STEVEN GREWANUS, grade three at Walton Public School says, "We're prob- ably going to work on our new house this summer since we just moved in last week - we're still unpacking. And, we might go • to Ontario Place." BEN ANDERSON says, "You wouldn't believe how happy Yam that school is over. It was long, long French classes I disliked."

This summer, Barry hopes to go camping. "i'm looking forward to going back to school in the fall.' TAWNYA TAYLOR's fav- ourite subject was math, but she didn't like spelling be- cause it was too hard. Even with a good report card, she's glad school is finished at Seaforth Public School. Advancing to grade four, she is looking forward to next year. She will spend the summer at the beach and visiting Canada's Wonder- land. MATT DEVINE just loves the last day of school.

"I'm glad to be in grade seven because i like the teacher." Mark enjoyed phys-ed most and language and arts least. "I'm going to work at home and relax this summer." The loss of three more by-elections by the Parti Quebecois in Quebec seems to be more evidence that the love affair with the party is cooling rapidly. All political love affairs do, of course. In fact the stronger the romance, the more reaction there seems to be when the dreams made at the peak of the affair are unfulfilled. And the dreams for the PQ were beautiful ones. Rene Levesque and his partners represented all that was good while the Liberals represented the past, the corruption of Quebec politics, the years of grovelling before les anglais, the years of an economy that depended on foreigners. Independence, ah, there was the answer to everything that was wrong in Quebec, the cure for everything but the common cold. Just put Rene and friends in office and everything a@IIA [ •th@ 2C@tr e}y CSMA R©igiD ©ani would change. The brave new world would arrive. They were impossible dreams, of course. Government may be the largest single force in our lives today but it cannot change the world. A new government in Quebec cannot rearrange the world economy so that Quabec can escape a major recession. A new government in Quebec cannot change the fact that Quebec has to live with the rest of North America. SPLIT APART From the initial shock of the election of the PQ and the tremors of fear sent across Canada that it was just a matter of time before Canada was split apart, the best ally those wanting to keep Canada together had was time. in the enthusiasm of the moment, the hazy, wedding -day glow just after the election, the people of Quebec could believe anything. As months and years went by, they were less likely to see separation from Canada as an answer to everything. The PQ helped to cause their current problems by some of the policies they adopted. Bill 101, for instance, while it BPS'S LITTLEST GRADS—The kindergarten class of Seaforth Public School had their graduation on Thursday.

It gave French-speaking Quebeckers both a sense of secunty, a feeling that their language wouldn't die and, let's face it, a sense of revenge for past injustices. To go along with that there was a failing economy that showed that Levesque couldn't bid the tide of world affairs to turn back at the Quebec boundary. The convictions of one cabinet minister for shop -lifting and another for having sex with under -age girls showed that the PQ didn't have a Jock on morality. And anti -union legislation has hurt the party's left-wing image. The result is that while the young were'once the hope of the future for the PQ are now turning their back on the party in droves. Perth launches course for bright students "The beginning of a bright new day for the students of Perth County' has dawned as the Board of Education ap- proved a pilot enrichment program for the gifted at its June 21 meeting. Superintendent of program Keith Thompson uttered those words as he presented the report on the enrichment program which is an exten- sion of the special education program implemented by the board a year ago. Enrichment will offer more to students who are able to go beyond what is regularly offered in schools. As an example a student who excels in welding may receive additional in- struction in this area. The pilot project will be started this fall in four as yet unnamed elementary schools in the county. Four quarter - time teaching positions - the equivalent to one full-time teacher • will be created so each of the four schools will have an enrichment resource teacher. Mr. Thomasson indicated these teaching positions could be created from staff already on hand. He said the board's specie) education plan called for two teachers in the 1984-85 school year for the gifted student program. "Instead we are recom- mending that one of these positions be made available one year earlier than prev- iously stipulated, that is, in September 1983,' the super- intendent said. Trustee Rodney Bell of Shakespeare said it would be an el• •st' group of children th ould-benefit from such program. He requested a recorded vote and then at- tempted to abstain from vot• ing.

Everyone is Invited to attend. To a lesser extent the same kind of reaction against massive)expectations unful- filled has occurr6iiliefore. All western provinces except Alberta, for instance, have seen the NDP (or CCF) swept to power with dreams that utopia was here at last. Utopia, of course wasn't, and the party suffered for the dreams it had created. Today in the west, the NDP is seen in a more realistic light, as more or less just another political party. Nationally, however, and in Ontario in particular, supporters of the party still speak as if election of an NDP would mean we could comfortably skip the Second Coming. For the sake of the dreams and dreamers, it might be better if the party never does reach power. Ask Pierre Trudeau; he's an expert in not fulfilling people's impossible dreams. He was going to change the world for all those caught up in Trudeau-mania in 1968. Of course he couldn't and the bitterness of those who believed he could do no wrong has surrounded him ever since. So watch out Brian Mulroney. 1 can see a hard fall coming for you already when people like the normally cynical columnist Peter C. Newman write things like: "He is the very best man the Tories could have chosen, and he will make a great Prime Minister." While you're unpacking your honeymoon duds, Brian, better get out your burial suit as well. Community calendar Next week.
