At a festive Christmas dinner held on Thursday evening, Dec.12, at the Chateau, St.Joseph's Council of the Catholic Women\u2019s League of Canada celebrated the conclusion of another year of dedicated service to the church and the community in this area.Approximately 65 members of the local council and guests attended the gala evening, each member bringing with her a specially wrapped Christmas gift for a shut-in, as is the yearly custom.These gifts will be distributed in the next few days by a special committee, headed by Rosetta Hackett.Among the guests at the Christmas party were Father Hubert Hamelin pastor of St.Joseph's parish, who opened the festivities with a prayer of thanksgiving; Father Marcil, pastor of St.Patrick's parish, Herd- man, a long-time friend of the CWL., and Mrs.Frances Puchniak, Provincial President of the C.W.L., who was the speaker for this occasion.Mrs.Kay Brisebois, Diocesan President of the C.W.L., introduced the speaker, stating that Mrs, Puchniak, mother of four children and grandmother of 10, and a member of Resurrection of Our Lord parish, Lachine, has belonged to the Catholic Women's League for 40 years.The theme of Mrs.Puchniak\u2019s message was: Live deer A single permit, allowing the capture of 50 live deer in our area has been issued by the Quebec Department of Fish & Game on December 1, just one day before the provincial election, The permit was given to a fish & game club in Lot- binière County (locate between Trois-Riviéres and Quebec City), called the \u2018Association des cerfs de Lotbiniére™.The club intends to use the 50 live deer to start raising deer in a closed-in space in Lotbinière.Apple growers in our area have often complained about deer overpopulation and damages caused to orchards by this large number of deer.Letters to The Gleaner from readers had suggested that deer be moved from this area to places where they would be Mrs.Frances Puchniak spoke on women's role in the Catholic Church.Women's Role in the Church.She emphasized that she was not a \u201cwomen\u2019s libber\u201d and had no desire to become a priest but, at the same time, believed that there should be no difference between male and female in the church: that each should have his or her own right to serve according to individual ability.\u201cThe days are over.\u201d she said, \u2018when women's role in the church was simply to help prepare parish suppers and bring in revenue.Bishops today are very much in favor of women helping with the liturgy and many have taken up that challenge and are performing commendably.\u201d she noted, \u2018much to the gratification of the clergy.\u201d At the conclusion of her talk, the speaker was presented with a gift as a thank-you from local council members.Three new members were presented with C.W.L.pins.They are Therese Legault, Marie Patch, and Joanna Soesbergen.The evening ended with the singing of Christmas carols by the assembly.led by Debbie Clement.Mrs.Audrey Bannon, president of St.Joseph's Council, was in charge of the evening's program.to be captured welcomed.Perhaps this single permit for the capture of 50 live deer was seen by the Fish & Game Department as a first step in that direction.Another solution often brought forward by those interested in controlling the deer population would be to arrange for the hunting seasons in our area and the adjoining sector in New York State to be on at the same time.Hunting on both sides of the border at the same time would drive the deer to move eastward where there's a scarcity ol deer and the newcomers would be welcome MRC's Preliminary Planning Residents of the 15 municipalities making up the MRC du Haut-Saint- Laurent have received in the mail a well-explained condensed form of the Preliminary Planning Proposal adopted by this body on November 27.after much research and expense.It will be recalled that the first PPP was rejected by Quebec at the end of June 1985 and the MRC had to start all over again.The PPP offers two choices - A and B - with the first choice putting more emphasis on the agricultural nature of the area, while Option B takes into consideration other ways the area could also develop.There will be public meetings held in four different places on the territory of the MRC.so that people can receive more information on what this proposal means, For the St.Anicet.Ste- Barbe and Dundee area.the meeting is tonight, Wednesday.Dec.18 in the St.Anicet Town Hall.For Huntingdon, Hin- chinbrooke, Elgin and Godmanchester, the meeting is on Thursday.Dec.19 in Huntingdon Town Hall.As for St.Chrysostome, Franklin and Havelock.the meeting will be after Christmas, on Friday, Jan.10, in the St.Chrysostome Town Hall.And for Orm- stown,

$1.804.364 with revenue of $1.801.137.As mentioned last week the tax rate will go down slightly.from $2 to $1.92 per $100 evaluation.Revenue for the Town will come from property tax - $1,272,566, from compensation in lieu of taxes - $261.402.Other local revenue sources will bring $45,000 while conditional transfers will provide $232.16.Expenses will include: - $252,494 for general administration - $201,900 for public safety - $339,082 for sanitation - $11,100 for urbanism and increasing value of the HOLIDAY REMINDER This is the final edition of The Gleaner for 1985.The office will be closed for

James Dawson - an area where 10 wild turkeys were set free to live and hopefully multiply Shots were heard.Then the truck drove away The wild trukeys are the subject of an experiment, supervised by Garry Carrigan.who got the idea from New York State where they're trying to reestablish wild turkeys.In the spring of 1985.six chicks were bought to start things going.After being raised.thev were set free.One adult bird was added later As of December 16.there were 10 birds left.But now since the shooting Incident on Monday.onl two wild turkevs have been sighted, out of the 10 It's not possible to state with absolute certainty that eight wild turkeys were shot.but, according to all appearances, this is exactly what happened territory - $36,600 for Recreation and Culture - $158,250 for other activities - $518.573 for debt services - $15,000 for bad debts - $26,000, share in MRC expenses - $42,500 for capital assets expenses Question period During the question period, a taxpayer.Maurice Pilon, said he wasn't that happy about the lower tax rate.since a little more money could have meant better services for the population of Huntingdon.Concerning Recreation and Culture for example, Pilon asked if the $36.600 would go entirely to Recreation only.The mayor answered with details of the amounts that would be used for the maintenance of parks and for donations to various associations.Pilon also wanted to know if the Town plans opening streets in the new residential area.The mayor said none were planned but that the Town was ready to give all the services whenever needed.Another question by Pilon concerned the $158,250 earmarked \u2018other activities\u2019.The Town Clerk, Me Richard Alary, explained that this amount covered all the expenses pertaining to the Town buildings, also the tools.equipment and their maintenance, as well as electricity and gas.Jean-Luc Crête, in charge of baseball leagues in Huntingdon, remarked that the budget allowed only 2%, of its total expenses to Recreation.He stressed that it was important to allow more money for activities for our youth.Mayor Brisebois repeated that he'd like to see a Central Recreational Commitee which, together with the council, could more adequately manage a budget for Recreation purposes.This would be good.not only for youth, but also for senior citizens.Lights for baseball field Créte then asked council if they had forgotten to set aside some money for the installation of lights on one of the baseball fields at Arthur-Pigeon school.Mayor Brisebois replied that the Town hasn't yet signed an agreement with the Huntingdon School Board on this matter.Créte reminded the council that a petition is presently being circulated in Town, asking for the installation of lights on the baseball field, for this could mean the return of Minor Baseball to Hun- tingdon.Alderman Jean-Paul Mainville said that the Town has nothing to offer to attract people.In his view, it's not necessary to have new industries to attract people but better services could be an in- Boy needs liver transplant A young boy from Ste Barbe is in urgent need of a liver transplant but the operation he needs is not

is take the child to a hospital in Boston lor treatment The big obstacle to this move is that the operation would cost from $200,000 to $250,000.Quebec's Health Insurance would cover 100% of hospitalization costs involved, and 10% of medical costs.A committee has been formed to raise $25,000 to cover the extra expenses that would be involved, such as plane fare for the parents and the child to Boston, ambulance costs.accommodations for the parents in Boston, etc.Last week, the parents and the boy flew to Boston for a first medical checkup The child's medical file has been transferred from After that, the Development Plan is to be reviewed periodically every five years.centive for them to settle here.Créte underlined the fact that the sum of $4,000 was raised through the organization of two tournaments last summer.This money has been set aside to help with the installation of lights on the baseball field.\u201cIf Hun- tingdon showed the way, other municipalities (Hinchinbrooke and Godmanchester) would be ready to follow,\" Crête told council.Another taxpayer, Edgar Robidoux, wanted more information on the debt service.Mayor Brisebois answered that Huntingdon owes $2,247,000.On the matter of general administration, Me Alary told Robidoux that this amount includes payment for pension funds, insurance, employer contributions, etc.Ste-Justine Hospital to

and greater selection of gifts from which to choose.The level of expectations seems to climb and soar beyond reach.In the space of a few, short days, \u2018\u2018the stockings will be hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St.Nicholas soon will be there.\u201d For many, the visit of Santa will be rewarding, with wishes granted, and the jolly old fellow will ride off, having completed his mission for another year.Yet, the memories of his visit will disappear quickly.On the other hand, Christmas will pass some people by - the lonely and the poor.They will not have the yuletide trees with presents, amidst laughter and cheer, and the family homecoming around the table of plenty.In their lonely, isolated vigil, they will wish the day to pass quickly; as will the wish be of those in their pain of bereavement - to sleep, perchance to dream, of better days ahead or of happier days of yesteryear.Long before Santa Claus came into view, people in similar agonizing circumstances longed for someone to come to their rescue.They did not know just who or when but trusted in God to fulfill His promise of a saving Messiah.God\u2019s promise was not a dream but became a reality through the birth of Jesus Christ into the world.He has come, not just for an annual visit, but for ever; not for a selected few but a gift within the reach of all who will respond to His call of glad tidings.He has come to bind up the brokenhearted, to deliver the oppressed, to heal the sick and feed the poor.He came as a little child, wrapped in a simple cloth and lying in a stable manger in Bethlehem.His coming brings a new light for the world.May his light come into your life.Any may the presence of Jesus Christ comfort you and bring you joy this Christmas season and in the months ahead.The Rev.Milt.Skippon, St.Andrew\u2019s and Wesley-Knox United Churches, Hemmingford.100 years ago (From the Canadian Gleaner of Thursday, Dec.17, 1885) EVENTFUL DAY The 15th instant was an eventful day (in Ormstown).Rev.D.W.Morison officiated at two funerals and two marriages.The first time such a thing occurred in this community.One was that of John Cooke, senr., who died on the 12th inst., aged 78 years, and in him another pioneer farmer has passed away.The other, funeral was Mary Simpson, eldest daughter of James Simpson, aged 16 years.The procession went into the kirk at 3:30 p.m., and the shades of evening fell before the services were finished, giving even more solemnity to them.AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY The annual meeting took place yesterday afternoon in the county building.There were not many members present: David White, president, in the chair.The secretary read the financial \u2018statement, which showed the society to be in debt $700.The new board is composed of David White, Wm.Wilson, James Rennie, Charles Brown, Farquhar McLennan, Edward Dupuis, Malcolm McNaughton, Martin Connell and F.H.Henderson.The Secretary stated that $1289 had been paid in prizes last show, and it would not be prudent to add to the list at present, 30 years ago (From the Huntingdon Gleaner of Wednesday, Dec.18, 1935) SMALL TOWN ROMEO The play, \u201cSmall Town Romeo\", which has enjoyed quite a successful run on the stage boards around the district came to town Thursday night and was staged in O'Connor Hall.A much smaller crowd than the play really deserves was on hand to witness the presentation.\" ALCOHOL SEIZED Three hundred and seventy-five gallons of low grade United States made alcohol destined for thirsty Montrealers were seized Monday night by Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrolling south shore roads leading to the three bridges linking Montreal with the southern section of the province.Three arrests were made and two automobiles and one truck, in which the alcohol had been carefully cached, were seized.CURLING COMPETITION This district had no less than twenty-two rinks entered in the competition (Edinburgh Trophy Play).The two rinks from Fertile Creek played close games.J.T.Stewart defeating Dr.A.S.Lamb of Ste.Anne de Bellevue 13-10; R.Anderson lost to B.B.Stevenson of Royal Montreal 10-11.Two strong rinks from Aubrey went down to defeat.A.A.Allen losing to

Elgin.IT Aya 12-18-36 Letters Conservative candidate confident in future I would like to congratulate Mr.Claude Dubois on his re-election as the Member of the National Assembly for the County of Huntingdon.1 knew that a victory for the Quebec Conservative Party in the County of Huntingdon was next to impossible because the Party itself had existed for only 10 months.We were not organized and ready financially to campaign for victory.But having participated in the funding of the Quebec Conservative Party, I was convinced of the necessity to have a political force in Quebec with the clear and only purpose to defend Conservative principles in the National Assembly.We decided that even though we were not ready, it was important to take part in the electoral process.Our goals were modest.First to ensure voters became aware of the Quebec Conservative Party and second, to begin to identify and recruit supporters and organizers for the future.I am proud of the support received at the polls and of the work done by our pioneer supporters.The challenge and the future belongs to the Quebec Conservative Party, and we shall continue to build on this first effort.Reg Burrows If we want town to grow I read in a newspaper where Huntingdon is looking for a contractor to take over garbage removal.In the tender the households are tendered as one.The 100-odd businesses are asked to negotiate themselves a price for pickup.The only reasons I could see for this are: 1) Some large businesses do not pay even the actual cost of their garbage removal.(1 load a week costs $200.per load).If a restaurant, retail store, bakery or grocery store does not pay at least the actual cost of the service there is something wrong.2) If there is a conflict of interest pertaining to the garbage removal, someone should look into this.If the contractor is from out of town we are once again losing local employment.If more services were purchased locally our 100-odd businesses would need to hire at least one more employee, which would \u2018create 100 more local jobs.But no.The town must show us that they are not a creator of employment but a very poor example.If we want our town to grow we must start to purchase, hire and create more reasons for our citizens to remain in our town, If the contract is given to an outside firm, once again we are hurting ourselves and our citizens.You the councillors must adjust the garbage taxes of our large businesses to at least break even and not lose our jobs.Harvey Davignon How will integration really affect us?I have been reading with interest over the past few weeks, the information about the Chateauguay Valley School Boards.It all sounds so organized, logical and almost too good to be true.All the points presented support the changes outlined, with no negative arguments mentioned.A few questions arise as I read: is this truly a merger operation or a take-over; how will taxpayers at the far reaches of the district respond to travelling to Chateauguay to do business; or how happy will we be to call long distance with a request for help or information; will we no longer enjoy having people who know us present in the Board Office to serve us - the list could go on.1 would appreciate hearing some background on the kind of points I'm wondering about.Evelyn Lamb Auctioneer thanked for his Christmas spirit Not many people would travel over 100 miles, volunteer their services and help to raise over $1500 towards a Christmas charity drive.Auctioneer Jake Higgins, did, this past weekend.1 would like to thank Jake on behalf of all concerned for his Chgistmas spirit and talent.The auction was sponsored by the Pointe Claire Shopping Centre Merchants Association for the benefit of the Gary Taylor School in Pointe Claire.The merchants donated the merchandise and Jake carried off a fun-filled successful auction.His effort and good will was very much appreciated by everyone.Peter Dagg Methodist

keep calves dry, cleans, and draft-free.An important point was made in regards to scours.The milk must be cut off the calf, but the calves fluid intake must be maintained Dr.Whitehead described some \u2018\u2018home-made\u2019 electrolyte solutions for this purpose and also demonstrated the use of a \u201ccalf-bag feeder\u201d which allows producers to get fluids into an uncooperative calf quickly and easily.Respiratory problems were very common in area herds this fall, noted Dr.Whitehead.Pneumonia.enzootic pneumonia and shipping fever (1.B.R.) are responsible for this.These problems are characterized by animals coughing and can spread through the herd quickly.It was noted that in order for the drugs used in the treatment of pneumonia to be successful.an extended treatment time must be used (3-7 davs) to allow levels to build up in the body.Digestive problems in calves was also discussed.In the case of bloat.Dr.Whitehead demonstrated the proper method of piercing a calf stomach to allow the escape of built-up gas (in emergency cases).For less serious bloat a \u201chome-made\u201d solution of baking soda and ginger, given internally.was suggested.Other calf ailmenis such as ring-worm, hernias, joint-ill, white muscle disease etc were also dealt with.Many of the drugs and treatments described in the lecture were brought to the hall by Dr Whitehead so farmers could get a firsthand look.The following was a suggested list of drugs and treatments a farmer might like to have available for his calves: - Vit.ADE.(for injection on day of birth, Bottle of liquid vitamin and mineral - lodine (dip navel at birth) Blue spray scratches) - Calf Bag feeder (if calf won't drink) Fluid Replacement electrolyte or home-made electrolyte solutions) - Kaopectate - Antibiotics - Penicillin - Treatment for selenium deficiency Dr.Whitehead also mentioned the following \u201chome-made solutions as an alternative to the commercial products: Digestive Disturbances (bloat) 3- 4 tsps.baking soda 1 2tsp.ginger 1 tsp (coal oil, liniment or turpentine) Electrolyte solutions 1tspsalt 2 tsps baking soda 4 oz.corn Syrup tcuts and 2 quarts water or 1 tsp.salt 2 tsps.baking soda 1 package pectin 1 can beef consomme 2 quarts water The loud applause Dr.Whitehead received from the 70 plus crowd was a good indication of the Kids treat Seniors to Christmas On Tuesday.Dec.10.Senior Citizen -
