Soccer pitches at Spring Valley Public School, Brighton Public School, and East Northumberland Secondary School were kept busy from early morning until after 5 p.m. as the teams took to the field in the struggle for supremacy in the two divisions. The boys from Kent captured the Junior title in a dramatic overtime victory over Spring Valley. With the score tied at' 1 goal apiece at the end of regulation play. Kent scored what would have been the winning goal in the second half of overtime play, only to have the goal disallowed because they were offside when it was scored. Undaunted however. Kent came roaring back and. with two minutes to go in overtime, drilled home what proved to be the winning goal. Thinking the game over at this point, Kent players mobbed their goalie and were celebrating in fine fashion when they were reminded there were 2 minutes left to play. Despite a game effort on the part of the Spring Valley boys, the score remained 2 to 1 for Kent at the end.

Operating under federal charter as a non-profit organization, the Federation has adopted, as its objectives; To promote and protect a system of free competitive enterprise in Canada; and. To give the independent a greater voice in laws governing business and the nation. In a pamphlet published by the Federation entitled "The Programmes and Objectives", the Canadian Federation of Independent Business is described as "a political action group representing the interests of small and medium-sized Canadian Business." Springing from the now dissolved Canadian Council for Fair Taxation, it became apparent to the Council members that no group existed that spoke to government from the point of view of independent business. As a result, the Federation was formed in the fall of 1971 as the permanent voice of the Canadian businessman, farmer and professional. "Nine times a year. The Federation sends its members a monthly presentation of current national and provincial issues called Mandate. It describes the current activities of the Federation and carries arrtcles discussing some of the specific problems facing Canadian Independent business. But. perhaps more important, it poses questions on issues relevant to the independent", states the pamphlet. It goes on to describe what happens to The Mandate Ballots: "The Mandate Ballot is marked by members and returned to a Tabulation Centre where ballots are counted and forwarded to the individual's Member of Parliament. The Summary of the voting is sent to Federation headquarters and is used as a basis to form the policy of the Federation. In this way, Federation policy is set directly by the membership with regard to specific issues. The Mandate program keeps members of Parliament aware of the views of independent business. Questions are designed to provide input to Parliament on subjects that are to be dealt with in proposed legislation. In this way, Members of Parliament know the views of independent business before they vote on The Federation, in its pamphlet, describes its role by saying. "As a non-partisan observer of public affairs, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business strengthens the democratic system by encouraging wider public involvement in the complex issues that face our rapidly changing society. This involvement is essential if Canada is to avoid government by bureaucracy". Present membership of the Federation is 18.000 and is growing at the rate of 1,000 businesses per month. The Federation's District Manager for Northumberland County is newly-appointed. 26 year old, Brian Burge who has taken up residence with his wife at Spruce Valley Farm. R.R. 4 Warkworth, and will be visiting all the independent As a member of the Federation, the voice of the Colborne Citizen, through its vote in the Mandate, will be heard in Parliament and should do much to further the interests of area residents. 5 points.
