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.

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," Mr. MacNaughton r e 611e d that after laet year's election he had Urged that the parties g0 back to Ottawa and tackle Seriously the business of the country.

"Surely the lessons of the past 10 months Will have a sobering effect on the people who have been elect. ed and that their prime purpese Will be to provide sound, stable government in the interest of our nation."

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 this time-592-553. Jackson conceded the elec- tion to Mr. Foy at 10:15 pm., after the latter had already be- gun his victory parade in S arnia. Foy polled 15,750; Jackson, 12, 539.

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." --Please turn to back page 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.

"The results all across the rural parts of the riding and in the towns and villages were the same as last time but the re- sults in parts of the city fol- lowed the urban trend toward the Liberals." What was the reason for the sharp division in the rural- urban vote, which was evident in the national results? "I think for the most part", said Mr. Thomas, "the rural people take more interest in politics and they study it more carefully and intensely. "Again, the people in the • rural areas do net read the big metro newspapers to the same extent as city people do and, in this case, the metro dailies were most persistent in their criticism of the prime minis- ter.

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.
