Day said his department on two occasions in recent weeks has learned of an offence 'about ten hours after it happened. • In both instances, the person actually observed the incident but only called police after talking it over with a neighbour. In asking immediate co- operation Day says, "If you think the police should be informed, do • it right away. You could be the next victim of an offence," He went on to say "Our primary objective is to reform the assessment system upon which property tax is levied, When that massive effort is completed, we plan to establish farm rates that will reflect more accurately the cost of services to land. We can also provide more effective relief through provincial grants which will be geared to municipal and educational resources. Ultimately, and if we can secure the co-operation of the federal government, our ob- jective is to provide substantial relief against property tax Former storekeeper dies suddenly at Clandeboye New pastor is inducted seven great grandchildren, Funeral services were held at the Hopper-Hockey funeral Home, Exeter Monday, October 11, with Rev.

Jack Roeda became minister of the Christian Reformed church, located on Main Street north in Exeter. Sunday morning, Rev. Roeda, a native of Los Angeles, California preached his induction sermon, Rev. Roeda and his wife Carol Sue have taken up residence in Exeter at the church manse at 286 Pryde Boulevard. This is the first charge for the young minister who received his through the income tax Which as the basic producing unit. We reject the conclusion expressed by some that the day of the in- dependent family farm has passed and that the farm of the future will be a huge operation, a corporate operation which is vertically integrated from the land itself to the retail outlet, He went on to say "we would legislate to keep farm ownership in Canadian hands." As one part of our program of tax reform, farm property taxes would be reduced. We propose that this be done in two ways: In the first Instance, over the first term of an ND? government, the province would assume a full 80 percent of the costs of education, We believe in a system of farm marketing boards which are controlled by the producers themselves. We believe that members of these boards must be elected by the producers and be established on a product basis when recommended by the farmers themselves, In addition we would be prepared to em- power these marketing boards to bargain collectively with the food processing and retailing com- panies over the terms and con- ditions of contracts between these firms and individual producers. While the return on capital in the industrial sector of economy is considered to rest between 10 and 15 percent the return for farmers is about 3 percent, For this reason long-term credit must be made available' at interest rates that reflect his cost of production in a realistic manner, EXETER UNITED CHURCH Exeter, Ontario Minister: Rev.

Mr. MacNaughton said he could not accept. the suggestion that Huron is relatively inac- cessible, "The improvements made to Highway 4 and 8 and the new link to 401 being developed through the Kitchener-WateAoo Expressway are testimonials to the service Huron riding is receiving." Quoting from the ND? plat- form, he said in fact it calls for a much reduced investment in highway facilities. Mr. MacNaughton concluded his remarks by saying it was difficult to believe the Huron NDP candidate has fully con- sidered the impact of his party's policies on this riding. "The NDP has committed itself to much stronger powers for labor unions, many of which are American-dominated," he said. "'this position is accentuated by the debt its leader owes to these unions and because the party receives most of its funds from this source." "With this increased power, unions undoubtedly would demand higher wages and more benefits--which in turn could raise prices across the board. The people most hurt by rising prices are farmers, small businessmen and their em- ployees, and particularly, senior citizens which make up the majority of Huron's population."

Clinton Thursday night when representatives of the three political parties in the for- thcoming election outlined their farm policies. Speaking on behalf of their Parties were Huron MPP Con- servative Charles MacNaughton, Liberal Murray Gaunt, Huron Bruce MPP and Paul Carroll, ND? candidate in Huron riding. Each speaker was allowed 15 minutes to outline his farm platform with Mr. MacNaughton leading off. After the other two speakers had their turn, the Huron MPP was given a short time for rebuttal. The last hour of a lengthy program consisted of questions from the audience. In his opening remarks, MacNaughton noted the marked increase in enrolment at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. Enrolment at the district college has now passed the 250 mark with 100 students in the farm business management course, The college has a payroll of more than $300,000. In speaking about the govern- ment's continuing tax reform program, MacNaughton said his party has added a host of measures to stop the mounting burden of property tax. more accurately measures the ability of each taxpayer to contribute to public programs. In the meantime, Ontario has pursued the staged processes which are designed to shift the burden of taxes from the property field to the income tax field. For, example, we have been increasing the level of provincial aid toward local school costs. In Huron, the province will pay this year over 71 percent of the county board's expenditures. Ontario contributes 71 cents for every 29 cents raised in property taxes. For the combined separate school board in Huron and Perth, the provincial contribution is 84 percent." Liberal Murray Gaunt said his party elected would strive to retain the family farm. He listed a more comprehensive tax reform, a return to county assessment systems and forgivable loans for farmers as some of the objectives of the party. Gaunt said a Liberal government would take over 80 percent of the cost of education without involving red tape. He added, "The present system is too cumbersome." He also suggested fast tax write-off for storage equipment and standardization of farm machinery parts with a central purchase depot. Paul Carroll in his address said, "The main foundation of the NDP approach to agriculture is a definite commitment to the maintenance of the family farm PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH Andrew and George Streets Pastor: Rev.

He quoted from Hansard the following part of Singer's speech: "if regional government is going to come at all, it has to come from the top down; it has to come from the government, from the department of municipal af- fairs," "Our PC government," stated Mr. MacNaughton, "resisted that advice and has created regional government only where there was sufficient consensus among the municipal government in- volved. Our white paper of 1969 stated that larger units would not be encouraged in slow-growth areas such as Huron unless the municipalities themselves requested appropriate studies." He said he was disappointed that the Liberals would stop the provincial reassessment program immediately and return this function to county councils. "This move would completely thwart our tax reform program. It would prevent us from developing a uniform assessment system upon which increased financial assistance could be given to municipalities. We would not have a fair base upon which unconditional grants could be calculated for municipalities according to their financial needs." He said returning assessment to the counties would place a heavier burden on property tax, which the government was trying to relieve. • "In addition," he said, "I do not know of any county which wants this problem back on their hands." Speaking on education, Mr. MacNaughton said he would put this simple proposition to the parents of Huron Children: Would you not agree, despite the problems associated with reorganization of our school system, that both rural and town children now have a better op- portunity to acquire knowledge and special skills than ever before? Last week, NDP candidate Paul - Carroll hinted that the Huron MPP is llOW not accessible enough to county electors.He said the representative must be prepared to spend time in the Riding and make time available to meet and talk with local citizens on an individual or group basis. "In my estimation, this means more than pre-election and social• visits as they arise," Carroll stated. Mr, MacNaughton said he pleaded guilty to the suggestion he has not attended as many functions in the riding as he would like, "You can't have it both ways," he said. "A riding cannot enjoy the advantages that a cabinet minister can bring and, at the same time, expect him to attend every fall fair and social event in his Constituency." "I leave it to those of you who have requested assistance by mail or telephone as to whether I have given you the service or attention that you expected, I have tried to be both prompt and conscientious in responding to all enqUires from my constituents." The two candidates also ex- changed opinions on the areas highways system. Mr. Carroll contended that the entire Huron-Perth region is relatively inaccessible in terms of highway transportation.
