DAM GETS FINAL APPRO
PRIME MINISTER DIEFENBAKER GREETS CROWD AT STATION HERE SATURDAY
Results 'just terrible'
says winner Cardiff
"I think it's terrible. We're
just as bad off, if not worse,
than we were before."
That comment on the federal
election result came from vet-
eran parliamentarian Elston
Cardiff, who won his eighthvic-
tory at the polls Monday.
"It certainly looks as if the
large centres are against the
rural areas. That could mean
chaos to the farmers and every-
The million-dollar Parkhill
dam project--hanging in the
wind for at least two years--
has been given the green light.
The Ontario Municipal Board
gave its final approval to the
undertaking Wednesday in an
official letter, complete with
seal, to the Ausable RiverCon-
servation Authority.
Estimated at a cost of
$1,073,620 two years ago, the
dam will be constructed just
north of Parkhill.
In anticipation of the ap-
proval, the authority earlier
authorized some preliminary
engineering on the project and

some land evaluation work has
taken place. Both phases of the
work are expected to proceed
at full speed now.
Previously, following a leng-
thy hearing in Exeter, the muni-
cipal board rejected appeals
against the authority's appor-
tionment of costs among mem-
ber municipalities. The appeals
delayed the project for a full
year.
The federal and provincial
governments will contribute
37 1/2% each toward the total
cost, leaving the authority with
25%.
MUST APPROVE REPORTS
At a recent meeting, the auth-
ority executive learned some
changes have taken place in
engineering requirements since
the joint federal-provincial as-
sistance has been established.
It is now necessary to have
a functional report prepared
which can be circulated to the
various technical people at the
provincial and senior govern-
ment levels for approval before
more detailed work is done.
There also has been new
thinking in the matter of hydro-
logy, and figures used five years
ago, when the first report was
submitted, are now considered
inadequate.
The engineering firm, M. M.
Dillon and Co., London, out-
lined the soil inve stigation work
which will be required before
the functional report can be
completed.
An official of the London firm
said Wednesday it is hoped the
engineering work can be com-
pleted in order to call for ten-
ders in the fall. With the addi-
tional approvals now required,
however, he felt it was doubt-
ful if this objective could be met.
Prime Minister Diefenbaker
should not attempt to continue
in office, suggests Hon. C. S.
MacNaughton in a post-election
comment.
The Huron MPP reacted
strongly to reports indicating
Mr. Diefenbaker may try to
carry on as prime minister even
though his party won less seats
than the Liberals in Monday's
election.
Said MacNaughton: "Mr. Die-
fenbaker should realize that,
having received only 32 per-
cent of the popular vote, he has
lost the confidence of the peo-
ple of Canada. He has no right
to cling to office, regardless
of the constitutional position."
Despite the PC's loss, the
Ontario highways m inister
lauded the prime minister's
campaign. "I'm happy that the
Progressive Conservative par-
ty remains a vital political force
in Canada because there was a
time when it appeared in grave
danger of being completely dis-
sipated. This has been the re-
sult of the magnetic force of
Mr. Diefenbaker."
"Of interest to all good citi-
zens," he continued, "is that
the splinter parties suffered
losses. I for one view this with
Much satisfaction. If we can ef-
feet a return to the two-party
system, then stability of gov't
will never be endangered,
"Certainly on the local front,
our veteran campaigner, Elston
Cardiff, has proven again to be
the chaMplori he has been for
23 years. His efforts inthepast
obviously have warranted sup-
pert from the people in what may
very well be hid last election,"

Lambton West PC candidate
Dave Jackson of Grand Bend,
despite his defeat by Walter
Foy Monday, said he "thorough-
ly enjoyed" his first venture
in the political arena.
"I've met some wonderful
people and it was a great ex-
perience. We were relatively
unknown when we started but
we've made many new friends."
He felt the campaign results
showed "a good effort". He
increased the Conservative vote
in the riding by 1,000 over the
previous election, despite the
Liberal swing.
"Grand Bend support was
wonderful," he said. The village
gave him about a 2-1 majority
—232-12'7.
Neighboring Bosanquet town-
ship swing from Liberal last
time to a small PC majority

Jackson conceded the elec-
tion to Mr. Foy at 10:15 pm.,

gun his victory parade in S arnia.
Foy polled 15,750; Jackson, 12,

body else included because the
city people can't live without the
farmers."
He was referring to the dis-
tinct division in the voting be-
tween the urban ridings, which
generally went Liberal, and the
rural ones, which returned PC's
for the most part.
The 74-year-old Morris
township farmer obv iou sly
wasn't looking forward to the
new parliament. "I think we're
in an awful mess--just ter-
rible," he said, referringtothe
previous minority gel/it as the
worst situation he's ever seen
in the House of Commons.
Nevertheless, he was pleased
if not surprised with his re-
election in Huron. Confident
all through the campaign, he
acted as if the results were
what he had expected, although
he did not say so.
His majority over Liberal
Gordon McGavin was 2,3'75,
down about 200 from his plur-
ality in June of last year. Some
of the NDP and Social Credit
votes in the four-way election
then appeared to swing to Mc-
Gavin this time.
De spite his age, Cardiff
gamely participated in the tra-
ditional five-hour victory pro-
cession throughout the riding
with party supporters. It started
in Brussels, moved to Seaforth
(where he received congratu-
lation from his opponent), then
to Clinton and Goderich and back
to Brussels again.
"We got home about 3 a.m.",
he reported Tuesday. How did
he feel then? "Good--no com-
plaints."
At Seaforth, after a short
parade down Main St. behind the
Brussels Pipe Band, the pro-
cession stopped in front of the
returning office where the two
opponents shook hands.
"This man is still my
friend," said Cardiff as he put
his arm around McGavin's
shoulders in front of the crowd.
"We've had a good clean con-
test and there are no hard feel-
ings."

Victor Thomas sees
fuller co-operation
Prime Minister John G, Die-
fenbaker may have spent the
last campaign day of his long
political career in Huron coun-
ty.
The PM, whose retirement
as PC head may result from his
loss of seats in Monday's elec-
tion, spent a busy Saturday
whistle-stopping through Huron
and Perth riding s between
rallies at Goderich and Sarnia.
At the Exeter station, he was
greeted by a crowd of about
700 and a number of others
missed him because his train
was ahead of schedule. More
cars were pouring into the area
as the train pulled out.
Although he looked exhausted
the PM shook hands with quite
a number at both stations. He
was accompanied by Ontario
Premier J. P. Roberts, and
Highways Minister C. S. Mac-
Naughton, and Mrs. Diefe n-
baker.
"I'm glad to see so many of
you out today," the PM said
to the Exeter crowd. "There'll
be lots more of us out on Mon-
day, John," returned Llo yd
Reynolds, ardent Conservative
from Usborne.
Among the people with whom
Mr. Diefenbaker shook hands
was Mrs. R. N. Creech, Andrew
St., a veteran supporter.
Fe also paid special atten-
tion to young Susan Page, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Page,
Mary St., who carried aplacard
bearing the words: "Welcome
Mr. Diefenbaker from Susan
Page."
"Did you make it yourself,
Susan?," asked the PM. "No,
my sister and my father did,"
she replied. "Very good", re-
turned the prime minister.
E. D. Bell, QC, Ontario PC
president, boarded the train at
Exeter to travel to Sarnia for
the Saturday evening rally there
which attracted a huge crowd.

we must assume that he will
increase our rate of growth by

"(c) He will greatly increase
our balance of trade with the

W. H. A. Thomas, who was

Mr. Thomas, whose majority
was cut to less than half this

never in doubt after the results

was "far too much partisanship
shown by all parties" in the
previous short-lived session.

much higher priority over party
interest in the future," he stat-

Harry Strang, RR 1 Hensall,
former provincial Liberal can-

ly, are e little disappointed that
we didn't get those half dozen
seats we need for an overall

"However, I would think that
Mr, Diefenbaker should resign
under the present circumstan-
ces and give Mr. Pearson the
opportunity to form a govern-
meet."
The Usborne township clerk
said he was at a loss to explain
why the Liberal trend did not
affect the vote in Huron. "We
don't know the answer; that's
what we're trying to discover.
We had hoped our candidate
would have taken the seat this
time but apparently the swing
did not affect this area.
"Naturally, we have to con-
