“Our program is designed to

Mr. Stanfield said.
He chastized the Liberal
government for failing to tell
the people where they stand on
certain issues.
"This election was called

we have had nothing but a

A steady drizzle Saturday
dampened the spirits of many at
Clinton's 114th annual Spring
Fair. But, despite the weather,
nearly 3,000 attended the event,
considered Western Ontario's
largest exhibit of livestock.
This is about half the attendance
of peak years.
For the first time in the
fair's history, women's exhibits
were displayed in the com-
munity centre. W. G. Riehl,
fair board secretary, said lack
of accommodation made it im-
possible to include exhibitions
of women's classes in previous
years. The community centre
housed displays of arts and
crafts, domestic science,
needlework, and sewing.
There were more than 200
exhibitors in the livestock sec-
tion, an increase of 60 over last
year.:...:
Owing "to 'the constant rain,
a large crowd collected in the
grandstand to view the judging
of livestock and horses. The
afternoon and eveningprograms
ran concurrently without the
usual one and a half hour break.
The Huron Central Agricul-
tural Society plans to apply for
an allowance to compensate for
lower gate receipts this year.
According to the Agricultural
Societies Act, a society is
eligible for a grant if rain
falls before three o-clock on the
day of the exhibition.
The society may receive up
to 90 per cent of the difference
between this years receipts and
the average receipts of the past
three years.
"We are in the process of
investigating the possibility of
such a grant," Mr. Riehl said.
One highlight of the fair was
the crowning of the Huron
County Dairy Princess. Miss
Helen Good,18 year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Good,
R:R, 1 Londesboro, was chosen
winner from a field of six
contestants. Miss Good is now
entitled to go to the provincial
finals at the Canadian National

as a major issue in the up,

"to the limit of Oanada's en-

"The government has. levied

He said Ottawa has been

He said the cost of living in

Mr. Stanfield dismissed
charges that a feasibility study
into the construction of aturinel
from Newfoundland to the-main-
land would be too costly by
saying that d.t wouldn't cost
more than calling the govern-
ment together, only to say it was
dissolved,
Speaking to a largely rural
audience, Mr, Stanfield said
that farming expenses have
risen 45 per cent since-1961,
adding that ". . . many small
farmers tend to go to the city
to live on welfare."
"The average income of a
farmer in the east is $1,600,"
he said.
"We have no easy answers or
cure-alls, but we do have a

farmer, not have the farmer
come to, us on Parliament Hill."
Mr. Stanfield proposed the
establishment of farm bureaus
in the provinces to work in
co-operation with the federal
Department of Agriculture.
A national committee would be
installed to, stabalize markets
