the one near Newburgh (Stewart Airport) and the one near Rochester (Palmyra).Youth Centre calling for TT Bo, Faced with a serious financial crisis, the \u201cMaison des jeunes in Huntingdon is calling on the public for help.Chairman of the board of directors of the centre, Serge Bayard, says they face two major problems; that of financing and that of permanent supervision or animation.Presently the lack of funds is the most pressing difficulty.That's why the centre is calling on the community to help raise $10,000 needed to pay the $5,000 annual mortgage plus interest, and another Too close to Canada In its February 11 edition.the Malone Evening Telegram wrote that their area may lose its chance at being the site chosen for the research project because it\u2019s too close to the Canadian border.The head of research for the US.Department of Energy said on February 10 that (because of its proximity to the Canadian border) the Malone site could be \u2018\u2018very difficult to approve, according to the Malone Evening Telegram.The same paper mentions that the Energy Department said it would try to pick a location for the supercollider by January 1989.The Urban Development Corporation for New York State will be the one to decide which one of tho three sites is to be selected for an in-depth study after the federal Energy Department makes known its requirements.It will be recalled that the supercollider project would mean 2,500 permanent jobs, 500 visiting scientists a year and an annual budget of US $270 million.One of the great advantages of the project is that it would have no bad effect on the environment.It would also probably become a world centre for rik research.used by more than 100 U.S.universities alone.The U.S.Energy Department has admitted that no less than 45 states are interested in having the project locate in their territory.Land for free The U.S.administration is expecting to get all the required land for free.The Malone Evening Telegram in cross-sectional place.\u201d given that land outright.for a seismic activity.commuting times, two outages per year.Requirements for site \u201cThe Malone Evening Telegram\" following requirements that should be found on the site of the US $4.4 billion supercollider project, as determined in 1985 by the university consortium that will operate the facility: \u201cThe accelerator will be placed in a tunnel 10 feet diameter derground extending in a near-circle 19 miles across and 52 miles in circumference.The entire surface area does not have to be owned by the supercollider as long as the tunnel can be put in It's mentioned.however, that some land will be necessary for offices and experiment halls.The U.S.Energy Department has said it expects to be The setting required is described as follows: Space ) ring of 60 miles circumference changed to 52 miles); a site for a machine which is level or with a tilt less than one degree; surface area up to 11.000 acres (now 8,000 to 12,000).Geology and tunneling: long, uniform material, extensively characterized; avoidance of active faults; goold soil stability: consolidated solids with groundwater: data on The list also includes requirements for staff needs: housing educational.cultural facilities, reasonable major airport all-weather roads, adequate industrial-construction resources.As for utilities, the project would need up to 2,000 gallons of water per minute up to 250 megawatts of electrical power, with separate feeds and less than gives the about 20 feet un- (now avoidance of un- He Chairman of the Youth Centre committee.Serge Bayard, appeals to public for funds.$3.000 for premiums.The Town of Huntingdon, as mentioned last week, granted the centre $500 and promised to put pressure on the government for more operating grants.The Huntingdon Optimist Club, for its part, will turn over to the centre the proceeds from its annual fund-raising event.Now an appeal is launched towards all other organizations, businesses, professionals, ete.To Bayard.the community needs a place such as the Youth Centre, and all efforts should be made to keep it going.insurance Financing helps community \"SPEAK Member of Parliament for Beauharnois-Salaberry, Jean-Guy Hudon.on Friday, Feb.20 presented CVESPA President Bruce Hains and Chief Executive Officer Maurice King with a cheque from the Secretary of State - as the final installment of $27,000 in the Association's 1986-87 operating budget of $82,000.The funding from the Secretary of State is made available to CVESI under the Minority- languages Program, which supports English language rights groups in Quebec and French language rights groups in the rest of Canada.Although the funding which CVESPA receives under this program is considerably lower than the other English rights groups in Quebec, the federal support allows CVESPA to maintain its office and carry out a relatively wide range of programs and projects supporting the English- speaking community of South West Quebec.The focus of CVESPA's programs in 1987 is best CVESPA president Bruce Hains (left) accepts $27,000 cheque from MP Jean-Guy Hudon (centre).Executive director of CVESPA Maurice King.accompanies them.expressed in the phrase \u201cTime to Speak up\u2019.In many of the current issues facing the English- speaking community.this phrase is particularly appropriate.The CVESPA programs in Health and Social Services, Education and Advocacy for Government Services all face crucial issues which demand that individuals and groups in the community \u201cspeak up\u201d about the needs in the English-speaking community.As with most \u2018causes, those with the ability to speak must stand up.not only for themselves, but also for those who often cannot speak loud enough to be heard in our society for instance: children, the elderly and the disadvantaged.In the area of Health and Social Services, as a result of Bill 142.regional health councils are preparing plans as how services will be provided to the English- speaking population Services will be established on the basis of where the demand 1s: and \u201cdemand\u201d is measured by how many people ask for a service in English If no one asks - and unless a substantial number of people ask - the writes that: It does not necessarily need surface ownership of the entire nearly circular area enclosed by the buried accelerator.52 miles around and 19 miles across.but it will need 8.000 to 12,000 acres for the necessary buildings.\u201d The supercollider or \u201catom smasher\u201d as some call it, will be designed to hurl counter-rotating beams of protons into each other with a collision energy of 40 trillion electron volts, 20 times the energy of an already existing accelerator near Chicago.which is currently the most powerful in the world.À situation would be created which would reproduce conditions similar to those that prevailed when the universe started as is believed some 20 billion years ago, in whal is COVERING HUNTINGDON, ORMSTOWN, HEMMINGFORD, HOWICK, FRANKLIN, Avlived Put Qrenlaties sometimes referred to as the \u2018big bang\u201d.The research centre would confirm or disprove present theories on the origin of matter Deadline is soon Proposals for possible sites have to be in by August 1987.For the state of New York to have a chance, it must restrict itself to one site out of three presently being mentioned In September 1987.the sites that will have passed the first hurdle will be turned over to a special panel.who will have until December 1987 to recommend the best proposals - there's no limit on the number they are to recommend By July 1988, the Energy Secretary will choose a preferred site.And in January 1989, it\u2019s expected the final selection will be made.Re: rumors about Huntingdon Hospital As chairman of the board of directors of die Hun- tingdon Hospital Centre, 1 believe it's my duty to set the population straight about certain rumors which have been going around concerning the future vocation of this institution.At the board meeting of January 20, 1987, the members decided to conduct a study on the rationalization of services provided by the hospital to its clientele.The final report of that study was presented at a meeting held on February 17.and which was attended by representatives from the provincial Ministry of Health and Social Services and of the Montérégie Council of Health and Social Services.After analysis of the report, it was decided to continue the study.with the UP\u201d health system cannot be expected to provide the services.So it is very important in the next few months to identify what people need and where they need it And it is important that people ask for service in English at the various institutions serving the community - even where the services are not presently available in English.The Federal government is currently reviewing Its legislation concerning Official languages In Canada and in particular.in the federal civil service.One aspect of the law concerns where bilingual services will be provided in federal offices.The criteria of \u2018where there is a significant demand\u2019 is being physically measured in order to determine what offices should offer bilingual services.So.here too.if is extremely important tor individuals to \u201cspeak up\u2019 and ask lor service in English Another area where the English-speaking com- help of a representative from the Ministry and one from the Montérégie CSSS.If need be, other resource persons, for example on technical matters, may be added to the committee.It's very clear that the present budget of the institution will remain entirely in Huntingdon.The aim of the study is to make sure that in co-operation with other institutions of the network and with health professionals, the Huntingdon Centre gives the population the services it really needs.It goes without saying that the hospital employees will be kept informed on the conduct of the study and on its results.Moreover.| invite the employees to convey to the committee the suggestions and ideas they may have on this subject.Gilles Vallée munity.it seems.must speak up is in telling Premier Bourassa to ac: cept the Court of Appeal ruling to allow bilingual signs.If the only cries he hears are those telling him \u201cnot to retreat on Bill 1017\".can he really be blamed if he assumes that the English-speaking community doesn\u2019t care ahout the language of signs\u201d In the area of Education.another kind of challenge demands that peuple speak up about the educational services they want for their children and tell their regional school board very clearly what they expect School boards generally respond very directly to parent pressure.but they can\u2019t respond to unspoken thoughts The 1487 CVESPA Education Program will be en couraging parents to get involved to ensure that their children are well prepared tor Quebec society and the work force especially with respect to the learning of French as a second language In each of these issues health and social services.government services and education -

FRENTOEHONE HOW RURAL MAIL STARTED It was the power of the pen that brought rural mail delivery to Canada, and the power behind that pen flowed from a Springford (Ont.) farmer, George Wilcox.Wilcox, acknowledged as the father of rural mail delivery, was exposed to the advantages of farm-to-farm delivery in Michigan, and when he returned to this area in the early 1900s he embarked on a letter-writing campaign to newspapers and federal politicians.Sample: \u201cWhile I and thousands of country people are tramping up and down the highways of this fair and prosperous land on post office business, our city fellow citizen in all the large cities has his mail delivered at his home or place of business, or both, three or four times a day and the bill is paid by the government with the money that, for the most part, comes out of farmers\u2019 pockets.\u201d Of course, politicians were a little more careful with a buck in those days, which made for a tough battle for the Springford farmer, but also allowed him to say in a 1907 letter: \u201cThe surplus in the post office department at Ottawa the last fiscal year was five hundred thousand dollars.Why not give rural delivery a trial with at least part of this money?\u201d Later that year, Robert Borden made free rural delivery part of the Conservative platform, and Wilcox suggested, tongue-in-cheek, that Borden had \u201cstolen\u201d the plank that he had in safe keeping \u2018\u2018until called for by the Reform party.\u201d But, finally, on October 10, 1908, the first rural route was inaugurated between Hamilton and Ancaster.There have been efforts made to have Mr.Wilcox honored with a special stamp issue, but considering the present plans for rural mail, maybe we should all be trying to revive Mr.Wilcox\u2019s spirit.Canada Post, as a cost-cutting measure, plans to wipe out many of our rural post offices and rural routes, replacing them with group mail boxes up to four kilometres from a country home.Once again, farm people will be \u2018\u2018tramping up and down the highways.on post office business.\u2019 Some progress, eh?From a glorious start in the less- populated Canada of 1908 to an ignominious admission of defeat in the technologically-advanced present.(From The Publisher CCNA) 100 years ago (From the Canadian Gleaner of Thursday, Feb.24, 1887) 1838 SURVIVOR There was an error in the obituary notice relating to one of the old settlers of this township (Hem- mingford), which appeared in last week's Gleaner.The name should have been John Gordon instead of Hugh Gordon.Mr.Gordon had been a resident of the township for more than half a century.He was a man of strict integrity, of kindly disposition and enjoyed the respect and esteem of his neighbors in a very high degree.Mr Gordon was one of the few survivors of the loyal and patriotic men who in November 1838, under the command of the late Col.Scriver, marched from Hem- mingford to Odelltown and in union with the militia of the latter place.attacked and defeated the band of insurgents who had crossed the frontier near Rouses Point and had taken a position not far from the boundary line.CARLOADS OF FURS A few days since a car laden with furs was ferried across the St Lawrence river at Prescott, transferred to the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg railway and afterwards sent to New York.The car came from Winnipeg, and furs it contained was owned by the Hudson Bay Company and valued at $71,000.The skins in the car represented 437 bears.65 silver foxes, 5,137 beavers, 800 foxes, 4,255 lynxes, 8,478 martens, 291 wolverines, 207 wolves and a host of small animals.Another carload valued at $60,000 passed through Montreal to New York a few days ago.20 years ag (From the Huntingdon Gleaner of Wednesday, Feb.24, 1937) MACHINERY FIRM The Huntingdon Farm Equipment Company will open an establishment in the Warden Garage on March Ist according to an announcement made here this week by F.C.Moore, local J.1.Case Co.representative.The local establishment will be used as a distribution centre for the Province of Quebec for the Case company.The first shipment, valued at approximately $25.000 will arrive here shortly.The Huntingdon office will likely be in charge of Mr.Moore, and it is not yet known how many others will be employed here.CURLING Huntingdon skips wrote a thrilling finish to another chapter in the history of the Huntingdon Bonspiel on Wednesday night when Ernie Cunningham defeated Jack Stewart's Valleyfield rink 15-4 in the finals of the Board of Trade Irons competition to give local rinks a clean sweep of all trophies.Cunningham's rink turned in the most brilliant individual performance by winning both major events: the Chateau Cup and the Board of Trade Trophy.while D.L.Kellv's rink made a perfect score by annexing the Mill Trophy in the consolation series.It was the first time in the seven vear historv of the Bonspiel that Huntingdon had won all three trophies and the first time that all three trophies had been won bv one club.Tribute to the late Florence Thyer by Isabel Elder 1987 of Bridge.and will be long remembered for the help \u2014

animal control We agree that there should be control over stray animals: That whoever has the contract should have the proper facilities and that the animals be treated fairly and humanely.That common sense be used and not, as has been happening, that dogs properly licensed be picked up on private property with exorbitant charges for reclaiming.At present we do not know what happens to unclaimed animals - are they put to sleep humanely or sold for research?We know of no one who has had access to the kennels or pounds - even Mayor Brisebois was refused access when he accompanied a Huntingdon citizen to pick up his dog.The contract is now up for review and we believe the Town Council should heed the wishes of its citizens.That the contract for dog control be given to a firm that is sanctioned by the S.P.C.A.That the Mayor, Councillors and citizens be allowed to visit the pound.That there be assurances that any unclaimed animal would not be given to medical research.There is an alternative firm, sanctioned by the S.P.C.A.and willing to take on this contract.We see no reason why the Town of Huntingdon, having this choice, should not select the one who is sanctioned by the S.P.C.A.and is willing to abide by the above humane rules.We recommend that the Town Council support our concerns and respond accordingly.David & Dee Zabitsky The strong public reaction should be
