The Huron-Middlesex
Progressive Conservative
Association last Thursday ac-
claimed Robert McKinley, a
Zurich area chicken farmer, as
its candidate for the July 8
federal election. He has been a
member of parliament for this
riding since 1965.
Mr. McKinley thanked his
supporters in a speech before a
large , audience at Saltford
Valley Hall. There seemed to
be no doubt among the people
in that audience as to the Con-
servative choice for a candidate
in Huron-Middlesex. Most of
them wore McKinley badges.
Mr, McKinley maintained
that the July 8 election is
necessary.
"You hear many Liberals
saying these days that we're in
an election the people • of
Canada don't want," he said.
To dispell this tuition he
Produced a figure from an in-
formal poll which concluded 60
to 80 per cent of Canada's
population are in, favor of the
election.
On a local issue, farming, he
deplored the governmertes at,
tititcle towards implementing
agricultural policies. Ministers
of agriculture always have had
difficulty getting needed
legislation through parliament.
The government has no ideas
of its own for agricultural
policies and takes Conservative
suggestions he said. As an
example, the Conservatives
moved an amendment in the
spring of 1972 which would
have given more help to young
farmers through the Farm
Credit Corporation,
The government just recently
put forth similar legislation.
"The instigators should do
the administrating as well as
suggesting policies," Mr.
McKieley maintained.
He suggested that although
the government stopped
American cattle from entering
Canada and upsetting market
prices, Canadian beef
producers might want to export
their eattle to the United States
in the future,
"We must get along with our
neighbours but look after our
own Maple at the same Hite,"
he said.
Of the beef subsidy in-
troduced by the government, he

those lucky enough to get up in the helicop-

viewed from the air, and there are many
spots in and around town that we never
knew existed. Thanks to Rotaire Helicop-

Bayfield plan receives County nod
BY MILVENA ERICKSON
At the regular council meeting Monday
evening, Bayfield Council learned that the
Official Plan for the'Village had been ap-
proved by the County last Friday and had
been forwarded to the ministry for its ap-
proval. They also heard a letter read by the
Clerk that the ministry of transportation
and communications had approved a sup-
plementary construction subsidy for work
to be done on, Ann St., Victoria Place,
Susan, Emma, Euphemia and Elizabeth
Sts.
They received a request from Carson-
Elliott Marina for approval of a 30 foot
water lot, and received a letter from a
professor at the University of Guelph
requesting the names of young persons for
interviewers to obtain information on
Huron County.
Council also discussed at length the need
for a by-law governing privately owned
swimming pools and decided to obtain
prices on drainage work before laying out
the amount of work to be done.
The reeve reported on his attendance at.
a meeting on restructuring and cautioned
council to give serious thought as to the ef-
fect this could have on the smaller
municipalities.
Elmer Parker, auditor, addressed council
and explained ,the audit fees. Council was
satisfied to learn that they will remain the
same as last year at $950, they also heard
complaints of a neighbour's barking dog.
The by-law enforcement officer, John Lind-
say will check into this complaint.

Optimist member, had said there would be
no rental charges when the Centre was
discussed at an information meeting in
Seaforth last week, because the Optimist
building is being constructed at the
Seaforth Redreation Park which is owned

A public meeting to discuss the south
dock development in the Bayfield River at
Bayfield River at Bayfield was well atten-
ded last Saturday morning in the Old
Town Hall.
Reeve Oddleifson outlined the develop-
ment and noted that five bids had
previously been sent out to those who may
have been interested in developing the
south wall. Three responded and felt it
should be developed, but did not put in a
bid, with the exception of the Yacht Club.
After much serious diecussion by
Bayfield, it was deCided to lease the dock
to the Yacht Club. Before any work could
be done, several approvals from both the
provincial and federal governments had to
be obtained. The first was to obtain ap-
proval for an interim waterlot from the
ministry of natural resources, (provincial
government) which was granted. Approval
had to be obtained from the federal govern-
ment for driving the piles
Tenders also had to be called by the
federal government for the leasing of the
dock. Council felt that in order to control
development of the harbour, they would
lease the, dockage from the government
bodies then in turn sub lease to the Yacht
Club. Thomas Castle is to remain in his
previous capacity as Warfinger, collecting
revenues etc. •

,Tuckersmith Township council issued a
building permit, subject to final approval
of the Ontario Municipal Board, to Maple

Don Hart, a member of the Yacht Club,
acted as their spokesman and explained
that the development would be carried out
in three stages as money became available
to develop along the existing government
wall. Plans are to build washrooms, drill a
well, erect a pump-out station and reeerun
hydro to each dockage space, This project
must pay its own way. There will be no cost
to the Village taxpayers.
The lease from the government is for
three years, so, in turn is fhe lease offered
from the. Village to the Yacht Club but it is
renewable. The ballpark figure for the
overall development is in the neigh-
bourhood of $25,000.
These docks are available to the public
or visiting boaters. Although the Yacht
Club would welcome membership to speed
development it is in no way compulsory for
anyone to join in order to obtain space for
dockage. There will be plenty of room for
the public. When the full project is com-
pleted it will be turned over to the Village
at no cost.
With the 'added number of people, the
'parking facilties were a concern to the
residents in the area of the development
and will have to be studied so that an or-
derly and satisfactory solution can be
found.
taws, Eldon Woolliams, Con-
servative MP from Calgary
North, was guest speaker at the
nomination meeting.
Mr. Woolliams attacked
government anti-inflation
policies outlined in the 1974
budget. Opposition parties
voted against it bringing the
collapse of the government.
"You can't promise to spend
20 per cent more money in 1974
and expect to stop the ever-
spiralling inflationary trend, or
blame all the inflation on out-
side forces," he said.
The increased government
spending compares with a 15
per cent rise in the gross
national product.
"This increased growth of
federal spending is the major
cause of domestic inflation," he
and Finance Minister John
Turner have no answers to the
question of curbing inflation.
Every economist, in his
opinion, agrees that the first
move towards solving the
problem is to reduce govern.
