Toastmaster Randy MacGil- livray spoke heatedly of Canada's Canada's international debt of one trillion dollars, or one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for every man, woman and child in the country.

Toastmaster MacGillivray was presented with the Best Speaker Speaker Trophy for his efforts, and Toastmaster Joe Christl came forward once again for the Best Evaluator Award. Participation in a Toastmasters Toastmasters meeting, whether as a member of the head table, as a participant in the table topics, prepared speech, or evaluation portions of the meeting or as a helper performing one of the tasks such as timer or grammarian, grammarian, involves a certain degree degree of risk-taking. Steven Jobs, in Fortune Magazine, comments upon the importance of risk-taking in the famous flight of Charles Lindbergh from New York to Paris. "He (Lindbergh) had to decide what to take with him. (the demands) demands) fell into two categories - things that would make his journey safer or more comfortable, comfortable, and things that would make his chances of making it to Paris. Weight was a real problem. He could take more gas, which would increase his safety, or he could take a compass, compass, which would increase his chances of getting to Paris. Every time he came down on the side of increasing his chances of getting to Paris at the sacrifice of safety or comfort. comfort. That's why he made it. "We Toastmasters are unlikely to have to face such a life or death decision. Our decision to join in the first place was based upon a desire for self- improvement. Yet we have a number of choices open to us. We may risk very little and improve improve gradually over time as effective communicators, or we may choose continual risktaking. risktaking. In January 1992 edition of The Toastmaster, Sandra Musclow, in an article entitled, "It's Worth the Risk," cautions that risk-taking incvitablely causes stress. "Even if you fail to take the risk when the opportunity opportunity or inspiration arises, you will still feel stress, since your inner struggle is likely to continue.

Ms Bragg, who was recently recently elected a director for the Ontario Ontario Com Producers' Association, Association, related her recent Asian adventure to Lions Club members members on Rural Night held Monday, Monday, Jan 27. The Lions Centre lecture hall was filled to capacity for Ms Bragg's speech. Regular Lions Club members were joined by visiting guests representing representing every imaginable type of farming in the region. Ms Bragg praised the AALP program for forging leaders out of its participants and for exposing her to many non-convcntional methods of agriculture. The AALP program included included ten seminars held in various North American cities. And the two-year program ended with an international experience. Ms Bragg and 30 others were sent to China. Referring to communist China as a "sleeping giant with one eye open," she suggested the country of 1.3 billion people people was now beginning to stir in response to the emergence of a free market system set up for farmers. Under the new system, produce produce grown beyond established state quotas can be sold for personal profit. Private trade at Chinese market stalls is booming, Ms Bragg reports. "If you have the incentive, you arc going to do it," she added. Over-population and an absence absence of modem technology have made agriculture in China labour-intensive. "We saw a herd of 170 Holstein Holstein cattle being milked by just 30 workers who do this three times a day," said Ms Bragg. Ms Bragg commends the re sourcefulness of Chinese fanners. fanners. A meal in China would typically typically make use of an entire animal animal literally from the tips of its toes to its internal organs. "They utilize everything except except the squeal," she said. Of the Chinese people, she says: "Their enthusiasm is just an absolute wonder." Facilities for researching new or existing agricultural methods arc extremely limited Ms Bragg said. Methods of cooking, irrigation, irrigation, and grain storage in the rural areas are effective, yet, extremely primitive. In stark contrast to the subsistence subsistence level farming on mainland mainland China is the affluence of urbanized British Hong Kong. Residents on the island arc acutely aware of the impending 1997 transfer back to the Peoples Peoples Republic of China, said Ms Bragg. " Absolutely no one lets their passport lapse. The real test for China will be the extent to which free trade is allowed to continue after after the transfer, said Ms Bragg. "There are going to be huge changes over there." She said being exposed to the resourceful farming methods methods in China did a great deal to broaden her perspective. She feels participating in AALP will enable her to recognize recognize more innovative solutions to common agricultural or agribusiness agribusiness problems.
