Walter Gordon, national Li- beral campaign committee chairman, outlined his party's six-point program for economic growth which includes the es- tablisturient of a department of industry, tax incentives, go- vernment loans and training for Canadian workers. "We need opportunities for jobs in places where young peo- ple are growing up," he said. "We don't v,rant them to move away." Need for industrial develop- ment in Huron was stressed by the riding candidate • Gordon Mc- Gavin, who said he was deeply concerned with the lack Of op- portunity for youth here, "With a Liberal gov't," he said, "they won't lose faith in their own communities but will be able to stay here and work to make it even abetter place." The rally, complete with pi- pers and youthful poster-bear- ing enthusiasts, filled lactoia Park public school auditorium to capacity. Crowd was esti- mated at 400.

Goddard, who presided over the inquest and had attended at the scene of the crash, explained that Logan died within seconds of the impact, being crushed against his own vehicle by the weight of the bus.

The Liberal economic expert said the major issue in the campaign is a stable, majority government "strong enough to make decisions". FAVOR WEST FARMS Huron-Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt charged the PC farm policy discriminated against eastern Canadian farmers to benefit the west. "The Conservative gov't." he said, "has been paying a great deal of attention to Wes- tern farmers and they are hap- py, Why shouldn't they be? They have empty grain bins and full pockets." "Nobody has been able to find out what strings are attached to the grain deals with China and Poland and it appears there have been deals to accept goods in return, competing in the east- ern markets and making east- ern farmers pay for the west- ern farmers' good fortune." He attributed the importation of Polish eggs, and the 11-cent drop in egg price here, to this development. Gaunt said the Liberal plat- form which promised the ap- pointment of an eastern asso- ciate agriculture m i ni ster would provide relief from wes- tern ministers who have natur- ally favored their own sections. He praised the Liberal plan to help solve the milk problem with free distribution in schools and the proposal to extend credits $7.50 DOCTOR AT ASSEMBLY Dr. D. A.

Witnesses were Donald Her- bert Crawford, 22, London, a UWO student and part,titne dri, ver for Trailways; F.R.

DRIFTED IN LANE All witnesses testified that apart from small patches of road with blowing snow, driving conditions were excellent. PC Westover and Mr. Bender who approached the accident scene from the north testified that there was about two feet of snow in the west lane which tapered off toward the east side of the road. Mr. Bender said he slowed his vehicle, a 15- passenger bus, to about 10 miles per hour to go through the drifts and said he thought that a car (with less clearance than his vehicle) would have tr o ub le going through. When asked if he might turn out to avoid the drifts, PC Westover said, "I believe I :67-7.0''.4211Z.".NMWROW14.170:::45Y45511:1P e. • ery 6,24%0 Olat•VA.A1•145 et.AVA WAS. A.

He testified he entered the accident area at about 40 miles per hour, in the proper lane with the bus lights on. "I saw the par directly in front of me--ea- cept for about a foot and a half pf it, it was on my side of the road. I don't think he was more than five feet ahead of me when I saw him. I did not notice lights on the car." Mr. Crawford said that at impact, he was twisted to the right of the steering wheel and thrown forward through the windshield to his waist. He said he suffered ""only a few cuts and a shoulder separation". THROWN BACK He remembered finding him- self on a seat behind the dri- ver's seat before he and another passenger checked the passen- gers for serious injuries and then went out of the bus. He did not observe anyone in the car since it was too far under the bus. He then went to look for a phone, and, finding none at the first house he tried, noticed the bus, driven by Mr. Bender, flagged it down and asked Mr. Bender to drive to the nearest phone to summon help, Mr. Egilson said that he could see the car from his seat in the bus, third behind the driver, and it appeared to be "in our lane". He said he could see part of the car through the right side of the bus windshield. Mr. Caldwell, a class A mechanic, said the bus was in good travelling condition, lights and windshield wiper s were working.

A letter from G. John Goman, pool campaign chairman, re- veals $11,000 has been raised in the drive to date. Another $6,000 is expected from com- pletion of the canvass in town and district, as well as grants from surrounding municipali- ties. The provincial gov't will provide a $5,000 grant. A town council contribution of $3,000 would meet the com- mittee's objective of $25,000. Councillor Joe Wooden pres- sed council for a favorable de- cision. "The committee is in a position now where the future of the project is dependent on what we do. We owe them a de, vision." Councillor Ross Taylor also expressed support. 0 the r s, while they were in favor of a pool, were concerned about costs of operation and main- tenance. Mayor Simmons, who does not endorse the project, felt council could not decide with- out discussing costs with the committee. He pointed to a number of problems: provision of parking space, oper at i ng costs, need for life guards at the pond as well as the pool, and the lack of enthusiasm among service club members. Councillor Ferguson: "I've given all I want to give without paying another mill on my taxes." It was suggested the contri- bution might be spread over two years. Deputy-Reeve Musser: "I'm not against the pool but I don't see how we can afford it."
