Dr, Robert McCauley, a biologist, feels metric is fine in the laboratory but the familiar lmpe rial system serves us well in everyday life Representatives from rural towns such as Exeter, Hayfield. Hillsburg and St, Mary's will join mem- bers of clubs from the golden triangle cities of Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph, in order to discuss directions for next year and elect new officers. Dr. Binding said few Canadian people are convinced about the worldwide and long- term advantages claimed for the metric system They already have a system they There are 42 Lion's clubs and 12 Lioness On Friday, March 26, over 300 members of Lion's Clubs through- out central Ontario will come to Waterloo to participate in the annu- al Lion's District A 15 conventton.

Winland. a property developer, has been ac- tive for years in local politics in Wyoming and will address the participants on ser- vices the international body supports. Dr McCauley said he has been using the met- ric "language" since he was 14 - but in the laboratory and not in everyday life “here the English or Imperial system works "just fine." He added that chil dren, now brought up thinking metric, will suffer no adjustment problems since they will not have to learn a new "mother tongue" can be taught new tricks but nut without some pam .. He noted that the Imperial system bears a relationship to man since a mile is about 1,000 paces and a foot is about the length of a person's foot. He traid that some "humanizing" of the metric system is per- haps in order and cited the German "pound," which is a metric mea- sure about 10 per cent larger than the English pound. The German metric pound is 500 grams. The German metric popularization retains the cup mea- sure. at 250 millilitre. the unit of wine drink- ing. "In this polycuitural society I have no diffi- culty in using the met- ric system and the Ear glish system where they are appropriate." the Laurier biologist said. “I resent the met- ric system's PR. men who keep telling us we can learn metric in five minutes and enjoy it."
