Mb, ottop OPc‘ Shirley Weary, a mother of four from Goderich and a secon- dary school teacher at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, was chosen by ac- clamation last Wednesday night as the New Democratic Party candidate fel. Huron in the Oc- tober 30 federal election. This will represent Mrs. Weary's second attempt in federal politics having run unsuccessfully for the NDP in the contest of 1968. In her acceptance speech Mrs. Weary told the nomination meeting that unemployment was the first issue of the election. "More than half a million people in this country are without jobs," she said. "When you have a country as rich as Canada, there ought to be work for those able to do it. When someone is unemployed, he is not the only one who loses. Society, that is, you and I, have to keep him and his family going, and the country loses what he would have produced had he been working." The N.D.P. candidate said that full employment and job security top the list of goals for the New Democrats. "The N.D,P. would use public funds to build jobs for people, not profits for corporations ": Mrs. Weary also discussed the problems of the consumer noting that consumers were facing almost unbelievable problems. Over half the price they pay for food products, she charged, is made up of processing, packaging and distribution costs. "In addition to the packaging and advertising," she said, "consumers are also paying for the growing profits of the super- market. The consumer is lured to "sales" by special low prices, not realizing that prices of other products in the store are raised to compensate for the "specials." "In theory," Mrs. Weary noted, "the consumer is protec- ted from collusion to maintain high prices by the Combines in- vestigation Act, but the Act does not, cover many services and goods, and is seldom applied in a way that protects the con- sumer." "The Department of Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs," she said, "is also, in theory, protecting the consumer's in- terests, Perhaps, it is really there to protect the corporations' affairs. At any rate it has the power only to "suggest „ changes," Stressing that she wished to seek election as a human being and not as a woman Mrs. Weary touched on the matter of Women's Rights. "In theory, women are equal with men in Canada," she said, "but govern- ments, employers, and even our system of education have ob- structed women from par- ticipation in society fully as they may choose." "Although one third of Canada's labour force is female," the candidate pointed out, "this group earns only one fifth of the country's income. Women also comprise one third of the Public Service employees, but only six per cent of middle management." In the matter of day care Mrs. Weary said that the ND? would join with the provinces to build a large number of day care cen- tres so that mothers can enter the labour force without anxiety over their children's well being. Mrs. Weary also discussed the problems facing farmers and those who make their living through agriculture. She said the New Democrats believed there to be positive steps which can be taken to meet the problems of agriculture and rural life. • "An NDP government would act to stabilize the agricultural population at a level which will support a reasonable range of rural services, to stop the drift from, farms," Mrs. Weary promised. "Regulations, controls and standardization of farm machinery would be implemen- ted to stabilize production costs and capital costs would be reduced by creating public land banks available to farmers for lease." Mrs. Weary also charged that a "lack of sensible planning has forced our young people to turn their backs on rural Canada and head for the crowded cities. The NDP is determined to reverse this trend and preserve the way of life of the family farm." In concluding her remarks Mrs. Weary said, "The NDP does not pretend to have all the answers, but we do offer e com- mitment to ordinary people of Canada, a determination to place their needs and aspirations ahead of corporate profits, a program to build an independent Canada of equality and compassion." The 38 - year - old candidate was born in the District of Temiskareing and spent her childhood in Renfrew County. She worked in Ottawa and Hamilton as a stenographer, private secretary and office manager before becoming a teacher, Mrs. Weary taught elementary school for eight years. She has been married to David Weary for the past 19 years and is the mother of two sons and two daughters. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1971 with a B.A. in Psychology. Guest speaker at the nomination meeting was Dr. Ted Bounsall, MPP, for Wind- sor West and Labor Critic for the NDP in the Ontario Legislature. "Our issue," Dr. Bounsall said, "that of taxation and the corporate welfare bums, or the corporate rip-off, has become the crucial issue in this cam- paign." "Income taxes paid by you," he charged, "could be drastically reduced if the cor- porations paid their fair share." Corporate revenues in 1971, the NDP told the meeting, represented only 15 per cent of the federal income, and since federal handouts to corporations for "economic development and support" also represented 15 per cent of government expen- diture, the net contribution by the corporate sector was nil. "The Liberal Party's cam- paign funds come from the cor- porate sector," Dr. Bounsall ex- plained, "primarily from 95 cor- porations, according to a Lon- don Ontario fund raiser. Last week, at public expense, John Turner's Finance Department sent letters to over 400 businessmen criticizing David Lewis' stand. I wonder if it was to ensure that campaign funds still came in or if they were sim- ply trying to up their ante?" "In 1969," the guest speaker charged,. "nearly. ,half-, of the, 200,000 corporations paid no in- come tax at all. Some, admit- tedly small corporations which made no profits and are struggling to become established, are understandably temporarily in need of nil tax payment. But also included in this category are nine out of 32 petroleum companies, eight out of 27 distilleries, three out of 32 breweries and 33 out of 88 trust companies." In the area of family and farm income, Dr. Bounsall said the ND? rejected the conclusion of federal planners that the number of farms must be reduced by two thirds. "Family farming is a way of life that enriches Canadian society," he said, "and must be protected against corporate farming and hobby farming." "For action on issues of unem- ployment; cost of living, housing and food prices, old age pen- sions of $150 a month without a means test and increases in family allowances in line with the cost of living, Canada needs more New Democrats," he con- cluded.
