COLBORNE CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1979 Continued from pag« turn in the wnoie western economy, not just Ontario's or Canada's," he maintained. Much of the oil that is currently being sold at - very inflated prices, actually cost a fraction of that price to produce. The MP feels that we should all be looking to alternative energy sources to serve at least some of our needs. PRAISES ONTARIO HYDRO Ontario is fortunate to have a large water power base as a source of cheap energy. "Ontario Hydro is doing a good Rowe at Cramahe PC meeting job," said Rowe, adding that hydro prices in Ontario compare very favorably to those of other parts of North America. At this point, a question from the floor was directed to Rowe. He was asked to explain the paradoxical situation of a society in the throes of an energy crisis which is mothballing proposed nuclear power plants, which might well be seen as the only viable solution to the shortage. The question came from Jack Robertson, the PC secretary for the federal riding of NEWS AND VIEWS ggrtcuiturai By Ron Parker, Assoc.

WE NEED NUCLEAR ENERGY -- ROWE Rowe answered the remark by saying that the Ministry of Energy is "spending millions" to encourage the development of solar energy as an alternative source of heat. "But," he stated, "it won't be developed overnight. There will be a time gap during which we will have to depend on nucleax energy. Nuclear energy has been getting a blasting and, I think, wrongly. There have been no lives lost because the potential danger is realized by the people who are working with it." Mr. George Blyth asked from the audience how the price of nuclear energy compares to the price of oil. "Nuclear is cheaper," Rowe informed him. ONTARIO LOSING INDUSTRY? Rowe also touched on other concerns, namely acid rain and the drain of industry from Ontario to the western provinces. Responding to a question posed by Mr. Robert McEwan, local building contractor, Rowe said that the western provinces are "definitely trying to attract industry." But, Rowe said that corporations must still consider where their market is. McEwan asked if the government regarded this trend as a challenge or a threat to Ontario's industry. Mr. Rowe said the challenge had been recognized. BE PREPARED FOR ELECTION Mr. Rowe closed his remarks by reminding those present that there exists the ever-present possibility of an election's being called. "Mr. Davis said he would not call an election before 1981" said Rowe "and he was sincere and is sincere about that." The implication was, however, that Mr. Davis could be forced to call an election before then. WILL ROWE RUN AGAIN? At this point, George Blyth asked Mr. Rowe to declare his intentions regarding whether or not Rowe will stand for reelection. Rowe said that rumors of his retirement from politics are premature. As yet, he has made no irrevocable decision. . "When you do decide, will you let us know in plenty of time, so that we can decide on a replacement?" Blyth further inquired. Mr. Rowe stated that he would make an announcement as soon as his decision^was final. In the case of a surprise election, Rowe said, he would feel obligated to remain as PC candidate, since there would be insufficient time to find another candidate. KAY WEATHERALL SPEAKER Mrs. Kay Weatherall, Progressive Conservative president for the riding of Northumberland addressed the assembly. She echoed the remarks of Rowe saying "Be prepared" (for an election). Mrs. Weatherall emphasized that "organization.is the key." She advised the party workers to keep in touch and have frequent social gatherings to make politics "fun, as well as being a serious commitment." Mrs. Weatherall reminded the members of the audience that "politicians have only one vote in the House. They can't work miracles. We tend sometimes to forget that." Mrs. Weatherall then suggested that the group proceed with the election of officers. 1979-80 OFFICERS' Mr. Marvin McComb, past president, nominated George Blyth for the position of president. He was elected. Shirley Bird (who took the minutes of this meeting) was elected secretary, after being nominated by G. Blyth. Shirley McComb was elected treasurer following her nomination by Robert McEwan. Northumberland Federation of Agriculture meets The Northumberland Federation of Agriculture met in the Brighton Agricultural - Centre on Thursday night, November 15, with Grace Joss presiding for old business matters. Mrs. Joss then turned the meeting over to the new president, Doug Brunton, to prepare for the coming year. Les Emery had been OFA delegate to a conference on energy in Winnipeg and he gave a short talk on what he had heard. It made everyone aware of the problem with fuel shortages for farmers. Can we help ourselves? During business it was decided to help sponsor the 4 H Senior Calf Club. Meetings for next winter were discussed and it was agreed to hold potluck noon meals, with business starting at 10:30 in the morning - watch notices for places of meetings.

"Side By Side" In a yellow kitchen, Cooking side by side, Grandma shares her secrets, Standing by my side. Sift the flour this way; That's the way to measure. Here's another recipe In a box to treasure. • Sometimes when I'm all alone In my kitchen blue, I can feel her next to me, Saying what to do. Careful near the oven! The bread you made looks done. I like cooking side by side It's always twice the fun! My grandmother knew that the best way to share the enjoyment of cooking with a young person was to choose a dish that was fun to make, sweet to eat, and pretty to look at. Here is a recipe for artists! Grandma's Banana Applesauce Cake 35 graham crackers 4 medium bananas 3 cups fresh applesauce V2 cup whipping cream, whipped 1 Tablespoon sugar >/4 teaspoon vanilla Banana slices, extra for garnish a week bowl of cinnamon & brown sugar Arrange 7 graham crackers in the bottom of a 10" x 6" x2" baking dish.

When we lived in Toronto I was involved in a volunteer program that helped third and fourth grade children with reading problems. Along with one of the teachers, I did an informal survey of the eating habits of her third-graders. Almost without exception, the above-average readers started out the day with hearty breakfasts. The troubled students had had an inadequate breakfast (only a cup of tea , for example) or, no breakfast at all. Breakfasts don't always have to be cereal and toast or eggs and toast. Kids are just like grownups. They get tired of the same meals day after day. Try this for a change on some cold winter morning: one glass or orange juice or apple juice, two thick pieces of Grandma's Maple Nut Bread with lots of butter; and a big mug of steaming hot cocoa (made with mi'k) and with marshmallows or whipped cream on top. Grandma's Maple Walnut Bread IV2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 'v teaspoon cannamon ■4 teaspoon salt 1 cup uncooked rolled oats 1 slightly beaten egg 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 cup milk 1 Tablespoon maple syrup 1 cup chopped walnuts Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease an 8 or 9" loaf pan. Sift together the first 5 ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and stir just until blended. Pour the slightly lumpy batter into the loaf pan and bake one hour. Cool the loaf, wrap in foil, and store for one day. Nut Breads, soups, and wine all seems to have this in common: They improve with age. Flashes from CPS classes The pupils of Room 8 have been busily studying about Binta of Nigeria and Choon of Thailand. These countries have been compared to our own country, noting their likenesses and differences. We enjoyed the elephant stories. We made kites on which we did some paper weaving. We also made fish which will be made into a mobile for our room. We have begun a topic, "All about You." This is from our Human Growth and Development program. This is on video tape and we will have one program each week. Mrs. Learmonth's class is enjoying this also. For The International Year of the Child, Mr. Pollock taught us two songs - Will Ybir Be My Friend and Reach Out In Love. Fractions are being learned as well as metric measurement in math. Learning the coins and their value as well as counting change is a very important part of our daily living. It won't be long until Christmas and shortly we'll begin practising for our annual Concert.

Report on status of women TORONTO - The Fifth Annual Report of the Ontario Status of Women Council, covering the period April 1, 1978 to March 31, 1979, was released last week. The Council advises the Provincial Secretary for Social Development on matters affecting the status of women. Lynne Gordon, Council Chairperson, said that "the Council has proven how effective it can be working with a variety of interests ranging from grass roots and other community-based groups to larger organizations." She said she is encouraged by the cooperation and growing network of women throughout Ontario and Canada. Gordon said that there is a need in the province for a comprehensive employment strategy for the eighties. In particular, she emphasized the need for childcare for the 64 per cent of women in the labor force of child-bearing and child-rearing age. "The increasing participation of women in the labor force is not a temporary phenomenon", she said, "and support services for women are needed on an on-going basis." Gordon said that also as part of an overall employment strategy, Council will continue to urge the Government to enact new labor legislation on the issues of equal pay for work:"of equal value and contract compliance. "The wage gap continues. to. widen as more women are entering the labor market", she said. "Unless action is taken, the workplace will continue to offer women unequal opportunities and unequal rewards throughout their working lifetime." The Annual Report on Council activities contains recommendations by the Council's four working committees - child care, education and recreation, labor and women with special needs. Also included are Council's activities on women's health issues. Single copies of the Report are available at no charge from the Council at 700 Bay Street, or by calling (416) 965-1111.

Jim Hogg assisted on the equalizer. Larry Henderson triggered the only goal for Goodtimers. It was set up by Pete Williams. Fenella held a wide territorial advantage in the game but found Barry Ellsowrth in Goodtimers' net very tough to beat.
