The same night it was off to the Agricultural Society annual banquet and being able to catch the guest speaker of the night Ken Knox of Solina, Certainly one of the better speakers we have heard for some time, quick to make his point, humourous, direct and a delivery of clarity. We would certainly have no hesitation hesitation in listening to him again, of course on another subject. subject. Friday afternoon we had the opportunity to visit the Pines Senior Public School and there is no doubt the quality of exhibits in the science fair. The first prize winner winner in the junior division of "Egg to Chick" was most interesting and a complete rundown graphically displayed on the development of eggs Joy the hen. 1 would have to say it was one of the best I have ever seen. Elspeth Patterson is to be congratulated on this exhibit. It was then off to the Conservative meeting on Saturday where somewhere around 350 were in attendance. attendance. The party members were certainly put inforce to play their part in the choice of candidates which is a democratic responsibility of those supporting theparty; There could be no dirty tricks, so to speak, with the party party membership out in force nor could a minority group influence the vote for delegates to meet their ends. Debbie White of Bowmanville elected a Young PC delegate on Saturday somewhat impressed us with her address in her bid to her audience for support. Debbie, Debbie, although not totally committeed, informed her group where she stood at the present time and had, in her opinion, the top three suitable candidates lined up as Crosbie, Mulroney and Wilson. Now whether one agrees with this is not that important but the fact that Debbie was putting her deisons on the line at the election election table is. Her audience knew, to some extent, where she stood and Debbie was aboput the only delegate seeking seeking election that was about to give the inside view of the candidate seeking the audiënce support. Good for Debbie, Debbie, we like that. Truely it was a week in which we derived a lot of delight and there was plentyjof evidence that there are a lot of good things happening, SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE A SELLOUT. , The Orono Figure Skating - Hockey Mothers dance held in the Orono community centre on Saturday night was a sellout with music provided by Jackman.

Ontario.. i Joe Clark (Continued from page 1) of the Enniskillen area, also seeking election as a delegate, informed the audience that he was uncommitted to a point, that point being he would not be voting for Joe Clarke who in fact was an embarrassment to the party. He received a resounding applause applause from the meeting. No other candidates made any commitments other than the YPC, Debbie White. White had excluded Joe Clarke from her possible list of three. It seemed the general concensus concensus from those attending the meeting that Joe would not be their man. The national news however over the past weekend seems to place Joe Clarke in the lead at the present time. It was an interesting aspect of the meeting on Saturday. Ken Knox (Continued from page 1) need a work plan," he said. He also spoke of the need for communication within agricultural societies and a good knowledge of cash flow and the financial picture of the organization. In speaking of change he related to the farmer plowing an acre of land taking two days with a team of Oxen while today that same act can be undertaken in less than two minutes. Here again he spoke of changes for agricultural societies. He also urged societies to allow younger members responsibilities and that team-work was a necessity and a requirement for success. success. Knox spoke of the business cycles when in 1965 the cycle forgot to drop and everything boomed ahead. Farmers and agricultural societies both were caught in the down cycle of the 1980s, he said, and as a result have gone under.
