Mr. and Mrs. Percy Livermore
have received cards and letters
from their daughter Betty who is
touring in Europe with two
other teachers.
In the latest letter she told of
hitchhiking through East
Germany into Berlin and looking
over the barbed wire fence
which goes directly through the
centre of the city. She said it
gave them "a weird, depressed
and scared feeling" when they
saw the soldiers armed and ready
for action and communist flags
waving. They found West Berlin
to be a very modern, exciting
place but very crowded.
The girls were on their way
down to Munich at time of
writing. The hostels are now
almost empty but they did find
small children on class trips
being billetted in some.

Guest speaker at the
nomination meeting was Murray
Gaunt, Liberal fnerriber for the
since it was felt such action
infringed on privacyr and the
right of each individual to cast a
secret vote for the candidate of
their choice,
Guest speaker for the evening
was the Hon, Darcy McKeough,
Treasurer of Ontario and
Minister of Economics. In his
remarks Mr. McKeough
discussed what it meant to be a
Progressive Conservative in
1971.
"The party", he said, "is
based, not on tradition itself,
but on traditional values, that is
conservative." "We are now
faced with new challanges," he
went on, "that call for new
solutions • based on these
traditions, and that is
progressive."
In commenting on policies of
the New Democratic Party Mr.
McKeough said, "For a society .
to be truly democratic the
Huron—Bruce riding, who
severely criticized the
Conservative plan of
"centralization".
He referred to three specific
plans, county school boards,
regional government, and the
take-over of the assessment
system by the provincial
government.
"During the 1967 election
campaign the Tories never
mentioned a word about county
school boards," he said. "Then a
month later they sprung the plan
on the people without any
choice on the matter. Obviously
this plan was in the making
before that election, but they
never once mentioned it during
the campaign."
"In the same manner,
regional government is not being
mentioned by them during this
campaign," he added, "but it is
quite possible they will bring in
individual must have a fu I
choice in self government, we
don't want to replace people
with government." ;Tor do we
want to nationalize for the sake
of nationalizing,7 he stressed.
"Th socialists, Big Brother
attitude," he went on, "Has
never worked and it won't work
any better in Ontario,"
"As Progressive
Conservatives," the minister
said, "We should work for a
victory strong enough to route
the forces of the New
Democratic Party in Ontario and
keep them what they really are,
just a factional group."
The campaign, Mr. McKeough
reminded the meeting, must
start now and not end until
October 21. We need to give up
much, he said, and make many
personal and business sacrifices
to ensure a Progressive
Conservative victory.
a blanket policy on this if they
are re-elected, soon after the
election."
Mr. McKeough lashed out at
the N.D.P. saying that °`A vote
for the New Democrats is a
non-vote for they have no
Policies and they have no
party," "The N.D,P. now have
27 members in Toronto and
therefore they have 27 different
party policies." According to the
cabinet minister in the past four
years the New Democrats have
not been able to agree on one
policy.
"The Liberals in Ontario do
not expect to win this election,"
Mr, McKeough said, "and the
N.D.P. are not geared to win an
election."
The minister of Economics
praised Charles MacNaughton
for the excellent work he had
been doing in Queen's park over
the past years and called on the
voters of Huron riding to return
him to office on October 21 as
part of a Progressive
Conservative Government.
Federal member for Huron,
. Robert McKinnley, was also on
hand and spoke briefly to the
meeting as well as the P.C.
candidates for Perth and
Huron—Bruce ridings.
