She claimed women can play an important part in governing the nation and said as a woman she would have access to cabinet ministers that couldn't be equalled by a man. The well-travelled widow of a former RCAF officer said in particular a woman's viewpoint the spirdlling costs of welfare. She received a loud round of applause - the only one of the night - when she admonished her fellow party workers to get rid of their defeatist attitude and to put some vim and vigor in the campaign, "We're not all dead yet," she claimed. Mrs. Adams also pointed out Liberal supporters would have to open up their purse strings and be prepared to give of their time to, elect a Liberal member for Huron. There was little indication of vim and vigor at the nomination. GB posts - Continued from Front Page forest people are really upset about the whole thing. Nobody knows what they are leasing to us.

RAY FUNK oh, wins nomination Board receives work assistance Under the winter works em- ployment incentive program sponsored by the federal government, the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board was reimbursed $4,038.14 when washroom • facilities, a teacher's room and a library resources centre were added to St. Mary's school at Ilesson. Vincent Young, Goderich, chairman of the building and maintenance committee, reported at a board meeting in w Seaforth Monday that the work cost a total of $9,780.49 for materials, supervision and labour costs for the facilities put in the basement of the school. Trustee Young also reported that three locks to be installed on the gym doors at St. Mary's • School in Goderich will cost about $200.00. He said that a survey is underway on the amount of snowplowing, costs, etc. at the 19 schools in the two counties. The building and maintenance committee was authorized to • spend up to $5,000 on capital expenditures, reporting on the work done at each meeting. Passed for payment was the 1972 fee for the Canadian Catholic Trustees Association of $80.23, Read at the meeting by John Vintar, Superintendent of Education, was a letter to Sister Ray Funk, a 24 year old farmer and child care worker, was named N.D.P. federal candidate in Middlesex at a nomination meeting held Friday. He is a partner in operating Erwood I., a boys farm located in Usborne township. Mr. Funk in his nomination speech, voiced his concern over the powerlessness of the in- dividual to influence government decisions and manage his own destiny. "We in the NDP promise a new type of representation in the decision-making process in Ottawa. Our relationship with the voters will not be born of elec- toral necessity, but will be based upon a fundamental belief in popular democracy," said Mr, Funk. As examples of governmental unresponsiveness to ordinary people's concerns, Mr. Funk cited the Liberal Government's continued toleration of pollution generated by foreign-owned industries whose responsibilities are not to Canadians, but to American stockholders. A further example of lack of concern for people, Mr. Funk said, was the report of the Federal Task Force on Agriculture, which recom- mended a two-third reduction of the farm population. Guest speaker for the evening, John Harney, the N.D.P. can- didate in Scarborough West, told the meeting that Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is Canada Archie Bunker, , "No Prime Minister in recent history has so attached the in- dustrial worker, the unemployed, in the most primitive of terms," Mr. Harney said. Two other candidates, Svend Tybring of London and Leroy Lorraine, principal of St. Boniface School, Zurich, ex- pressing appreciation of the St. Boniface Youth Club for the use of the school for meetings by Val Regier of Zurich, secretary- treasurer of the club. Also read by Mr. Vintar was an invitation from Spence Cum- mings, Clinton, Huron County development officer, asking representatives from the school board to attefid a meeting at the Clinton Community Centre to which representatives from the municipalities and school boards in four or five counties were invited to discuss taking over the sports complex at the former Canadian Forces Base in Tuckersmith Township. Trustees F. J. Vere of Stratford and Chris Walraven of St. Marys volunteered to attend. Trustees Francis Hicknell, RR 5 Seaforth, Vincent Young, Goderich, and Ted Geoffrey of Zurich indicated they would attend if possible. Mr. Walraven reported on a transportation seminar which he attended in Chatham on April 15. The board accepted officially the 1971 financial statement, London West MP Judd Buchanan told Huron Liberals this week that the government of Prime Minister Trudeau is not arrogant, nor has it downgraded or run roughshod over Parliament. In fact, he told the nomination meeting crowd in Clinton, the Liberal government has done more to improve the parliamentary system than any other government in Canada. Those were some of his com- ments as he provided Liberal supporters with some of the ammunition they will require when they are asked to defend the Liberal policies when the election is called. He said the government has provided funds for opposition members to do more research and they have been given 25 days at each sitting in which they plan the topics to be discussed. "That's hardly the action that would he taken by a government trying to stifle parliament," he suggested, Buchanan, who was a sub- stitute speaker in the absence of Revenue Minister Herb Gray, added that MPs have been given additional secretarial assistance and committees have been handed more power in dealing with legislation to make parliament more effective. He claimed the changes were long overdue, noting that in Great Britain some of these changes had been made in the 1880's. "It's pure unadulterated nonsense" to claim that Prime Minister Trudeau and the Liberal government downgrade parliament he stated. The London MP also stoutly rebuked the comments of Opposition party leaders Stan- field and Lewis that the country's economy is going to rack and ruin. He admitted no one was happy with the rate of inflation, but pointed out that Canada's battle to control inflation showed the best results of any other developed country. "There's also been a 50 percent increase in the gross national product in the past five years," he boasted. Referring to unemployment, he said Canada's problem stemmed from the prolific birth rate of the 1940s and 1950s and he said there are more young people joining the labof'fbrce in Canada in one year than there are in Great Britain, West Germany and Italy combined; While he admitted the unem- ployment rate of six percent was higher than he would like to see, lie noted that in the past seven years Canada had created a million jobs, more than the three aforementioned countries along with France, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands combined. Buchanan predicted that once the peak has been reached in new Stolen car, recovered An autombile reported to the Exeter police department as stolen Friday night was found about thirteen hours later. Gilbert Dow, 309 Pryde Boulevard reported his vehicle taken from Main street in front of Victoria and Grey Trust shortly before ten o'clock, Friday evening.

Prime Minister Trudeau's attempt at creating a "Just Society" were also defended as being more fruitful than some critics allow, Church opening - Continued from Front Page A large wooden cross made from airplane propellers is located in the chancel. The cross originally hung in the protestant chapel at the Centralia RCAF chapel. With the closing of Centralia it was transferred to Canadian Forces Base, Clinton, When CFB Clinton was closed in May, 1971, the cross was donated to the Brucefield congregation. The present structure is situated on the same lot as two previous village churches. The first was built in 1876 and was dismantled in 1908 and another church using some of the same bricks was built at a cost of $10,239. The cornerstone of the 1908 church was placed during Sun- day's service. It contained an old communion token, coins from 1905 to 1908, church publications, a handwritten history of the church which was updated to include recent events including the 1970 fire and copies of the Huron Expositor and the now- defunct Seaforth News of June, 1908. The new cornerstone contained all 1972 coin currency. The official opening and dedication of the church building will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Wilson L. Morden, president of the London Con- ference as the guest speaker. Present minister of the two- point Brucefield-Kippen charge is Rev. Paul M, Packman.

The speaker added that hun- dreds of millions of dollars have been spent on homes for senior citizens, although the Ontario government fails to mention that 90 percent of the funds for the homes comes from the federal government. He was critical that the Ontario government put their signs on these projects without any mention of the federal assistance. "They give only 10 percent and get all the Brownie points," he mused. Buchanan also noted the in- creased assistance which has been given to veterans, working mothers and those in the lower income brackets. Speaking of Canada's native people, the MP said the record of the nation leaves a great deal to be desired and assistance for them in the first 100 years of confederation was far from admirable. However, he said that while the answer to all their problems does not lie in the dollar bill, he said the federal government has quadrupled aid from seventy-five million dollars to one third of a billion. This has been used in part for education and economic development, Turning to agriculture, Buchanan said he knew little about it, but claimed that since the second world war, farmers have had a bad deal and have been caught in an economic squeeze, "In many cases this has been unbearable," he said, adding that for the first time since the end of the war the agricultural industry was "on the way up". The beef and dairy industry were reported as being in good shape and that the recent $25 million subsidy program was helping hog producers. litichanan also noted that the two price wheat system would help both eastern and western'4, producers and claimed that the national farm products, marketing bill would give fan- mers an opportunity to centrel their industry. Ja concluding, the young MP told his partisan audience that the Liberals had the only trnly national party in Canada, as both the Progressive Conservatives and ND? were bereft of representation in various parts of the country. "We are members of the only truly national party," he stated. Exeter court - Continued from Front Page stopped to make a left turn. A Zurich area woman, Kathleen F. Geiger, was also fined $35 after pleading guilty to a charge of failing to share half the road. She was involved in an accident on March 2 when she collided with another car on a curve, resulting in damage of about $1,700. She told the court she lost control of her vehicle when it hit loose gravel or sand. Another fine of $35 was levied against C. Wesley Heywood, Crediton, for failing to stop at the intersection of Highway 4 and 84. He too was involved in an ac- cident and the damage was estimated at $1,000. The only other case under the Highway Traffic Act resulted in a fine of $44 for Patti E. MacLeod, Port Franks, who was charged with speeding at a rate of 60 in a 30 zone. There were three charges heard under the Liquor Control Act. Randall E. Campbell and Robert J. Whilsmith, both of Exeter, were each fined $35 and costs of $3 after pleading guilty to separate charges of having liquor while under the legal age. William Edmund O'Neil, Parkhill, was fined $30 for having liquor in a place other than his residence.
