BILL I3RADY, NARRATOR OF PETER AND THE WOLF,
Faced with keen contests for every
office, Huron Liberals at a dinner meeting
in Hensall Wednesday elected John
LaPorte, R. R. 2, Zurich, president. In all,
16 candidates contested eight offices.
In a race for executive vice president,
Mrs, Don Adams, Brucefield, won out over
three men, Dr, Morgan Smith, Bayfield,
Paul Steckle, Zurich, and Rob Brady,
Seaforth,
Nine candidates stood for the five
positions of area vice president. Successful
candidates were, Peter Stinnissen, Seaforth,
Paul Steckle, Stanley Township, Dr.
Morgan Smith, Bayfield, Neil McGavin,
MeKillop Township and Mrs, Muriel
Murphy, Goderich. Mrs. Murphy was tied
in the voting with Ken Hunter of Goderich
who withdrew in her favour.
Howard Aitken of Goderich was
acclaimed to a further term as secretary of
the Association and Mrs. Ian (Shirley)
McAllister of R. R. 1, Zurich, was elected
by acclamation as treasurer.
Guest speaker for the banquet which
preceded the meeting was Mrs. Jan Steele
of London, executive vice-president of the
Liberal Party in Ontario.
Mrs. Steele, who was introduced by Paul
Steckle, was born on a farm in the State of
Vermont and received her Canadian
citizenship in 1961. She has a Master of
Arts degree in Joittleal Science and is
currently seliing tier second term as
vice-president of the Ontario Liberal Party.
She was recently appointed by Prime
Minister Trudeau to chair a Liberal Party
Committee assessing the recommendations
of the Royal Commission on the Status of
Women.
Pointing out that the sitting member in
Huron, Hon. Charles MacNaughton, could
be defeated, Mrs. Steele said that "in this
election year, I bring a message of hope to
WAackNIIIDST
P Power, '0*
the Liberals of Huron County." She went
on to emphasize that while Premier Davis
was spending money like mad "things are
not the same in rural Ontario."
No one should be fooled by publicity
from the Conservatives that the election
would be a two-way fight between the
Tories and the NDP she warned. As
evidence, she offered a number of examples
of hotly contested and very well attended
Liberal nominating meetings.
"The Liberals are the only real
alternative to the Tories," she said.
"Especially since the selection of Stephen
Lewis as leader of the NDP. He is not
acceptable to the people of Ontario
because he is too radical."
Mrs. Steele, who is a member of the
Ontario Campaign Committee, told the
meeting of the enthusiasm apparent at•
Liberal convention meetings, Excellent
-candidates are coming forward and keen
contests for nominations are the result, she
said,
While agreeing that no-one could predict
with certainty when the election will be
called, Mrs. Steele concluded by urging the
association "td get on with the campaign".
Appreciation to Mrs. Steele was
expressed by Mrs. Ian McAllister while
A.Y. McLean, Southwestern Ontario
Region president, thanked the members of
the Hensall Legion Auxiliary who catered
for the dinner.
John Broadfoot of Brucefield chaired the
meeting, The program included greetings
from Reeve John Baker of Hensall and
visiting Reeves, John Flannery, Seaforth,
and Elgin Thompson, Tuckerstriith, Wm,
Elston, Morris, and Hugh Flynn, Hullett. In
his remarks Reeve Elston, who is president
of the Huron—Bruce Liberal Association,
brought greetings from Murray Gaunt,
MPP.

Hu-ron Liberals choose 'new president
ambling with Lucy
By tUCY R. WOODS
In perusing a recent issue of the Durham Chronicle, Lucy was
nterested in the C.W.NA. Reader competition Our Hometown
ewspaper.
A lady wrote from Tisdale, Sasic-, "I have just received the
wham Chronicle today, I do read every bit of it and find it great
ompany for me as I am alone in my room and I do feel the time
orig. So by reading the Chronicle, my mind goes off myself and
ack to Durham, my dear old birthplace 92 years ago this June 4,
971. It was given to me as a wedding gift, November 21, 1,900, I
on't think that any of my gifts has brought me so much
appiness as this paper has."
A new Canadian writes, "Can you imagine how it is to be a
tranger in a strange land? The great moment came when we got
our citizenship. How proud I was to hold that paper in my hand
and be a Canadian, but in my heart I still felt like a stranger here.
"Time passed again and one day I bought The Chronicle to find
out what newspaper it is, I liked it and after a few weeks, I loved
it because it told me all about my surroundings, good or bad. And
so I learned to know my next town, the streets and people and all
important buildings, political discussions and all the problems they
have. Sports and all the excitement and victories, all the little and
big news from all the neighbourhood around."
A student writes, "The first thing that strikes me about having a
weekly newspaper is the feeling of belonging, It is not merely the
paper but instead it is Our paper.
"We see that a weekly is the first effective cog in our type of
government; it is a more personal source of- information; it
provides the details on stories that other media have. no time or
space for, and perhaps most important of all, in, these times of
mass this, and mass that, is the chance people live to be an
individual part of the paper."
One writer stresses the personal touch of a friendly letter. "And
most of what I feel is important about the weekly paper is that it
involves local people and the newspaper brings us together as a
community of friends and neighbours with common interests. This
is missing in radio and television and certainly in large daily
newspapers,"
One man-sums up his letter with, "A weekly newspaper can give
readers a more detailed account of local events than does the
nearest daily newspaper, Thus an accident in town may receive
front page treatment in the weekly newspaper, while it would be
buried on an inside page in the daily, if it were ever covered at all.
Something for everyone and a voice for the community, that's a
weekly newspaper."
Another writer points out, "The weekly newspaper is for the
people, about the people and by the peoRle
"Coming into the older citizens' group the paper provides an
adequate account of the general public. It is particularly welcomed
by our senior shut-ins and hospital patients. They are anxious to
know of their friends' welfare too.
"Since the staff are just human it is reasonable to expect that
they err in some respects. By the same token, being human they
strive to give their best for their, fellow man. Only the most
critical refuse to make exception.
"To borrow a phrase from an old song, 'May we never let the
I weekly paper die.' "
Why so many excerpts from letters, in the Durham Chronicle?
First because Durham was her mother's hometown in which Lucy
is interested and secondly because she felt they applied to all
weekly local and the Clinton News-Record in particular.
Unless we the people give the local news, social events and
personals to the staff in Clinton or the correspondents in the
surrounding area, it will not appear in print. There are many
former residents of Clinton including former Air Force personnel
and more recently those of the Canadian Forces Base who made
friends in Clinton and look forward eagerly to the Clinton
News-Record hoping to see people's comings and goings, visitors
and little social events. This applies also to elderly subscribers both
in Canada and abroad who look eagerly for news from home.
,,j Duri rffg her many years as Bayfield correspondent, Lucy strove
always to make her news a letter from bane for those away from
home, This she knows was appreciated by many and
nonagenarians including the late Wellington Johnston, Nekoma,
North Dakota and the late Mrs. Wm, Halyard ("Aunt Ellen"),
Detroit. They became familiar with the new people who moved to
the village and where they resided.
Lucy had friends with whom she checked in different parts who
gave her tips, Sometimes she had no personals but after talking to
people for awhile who "did not . know any news," she elicited
quite a bit.
Eric Earl our Bayfield correspondent is a businessman and has
no time for canvassing for news. He covets the council meetings,
etc. and does a good job. Our Bayfield Bard brings a fresh
breeziness to the Bayfield news. So let us the residents write or
telephone him all our news of visitors, travels, etc. and not be like
one woman told Lucy when asked if she knew any news, "No, I
buy the paper to read the news."
Lucy has lived in Bayfield all her life and yet she sees names in
the telephone book whom she neither knows when they located in
our fair village nor where they reside.
Keep dear old Balmy, Breezy Bayfield on the map!
