The Clerks of the above Municipalities shall be the Returning Officers for the vote to be recorded in his Municipality. AllSeparate School Electors are hereby requested to govern themselves accordingly. Crediton, Ontario Wilmar D. Wein, November 15, 1972. Returning Officer, if each municipality can express itself to a regional planning board or a conservation authori- ty, which can then develop an overall viewpoint and make recommendations. But final decisions and implementation should remain with the local government. We have a grand opportunity to maintain local control by im- plementing much stronger waste management by-laws within the framework of the Ontario guidelines. We should ensure that these guidelines are obeyed or there is no doubt that a provincial body will take over control. • According to a recent survey, the people of Huron County are happy with their lot. But let us be watchful that our content does not disintegrate into apathy. 2. As'a relatively new resident I feel I can offer a fresh approach to council. After three and one- half years here I think perhaps I am more keenly appreciative of the good things of Huron County than many who have come to take them for granted. At the same time I have become aware of some of the problems. Having grown up in a family concerned about and active in local govern- ment I am interested in representing the people of Stephen township with a strong local government that com- municates with and carries out the desires of the people. STEPHEN DUNDAS 1. As a councillor, two of my main interests are garbage dis- posal and roads. Our present method of garbage disposal is not satisfactory. Some of the dumps are not kept cleaned up. Residents (and non- residents) do not respect the by- law concerning days the dumps are open. They come any day and throw garbage over the fence if it is locked. We must find a better solution. Concerning our roads, the most travelled ones should be paved. We have to buy gravel from outside townships. Our pits are depleted. This along with calcium in summer is very cost- ly. Our tax dollar could be better spent on maintenance-free paving, 2, Having been a member of Stephen township council for eight years and having faithfully attended all meetings, I have taken a keen interest in our municipal affairs. I feel that more younger men should become interested in their municipality but I know it is almost impossible for many of them to attend meetings during daytime. Others are not in- terested. I am proud to say our township is giving grants to farmers for drainage and building improvements. As a senior councillor with experience I think I can still serve our township well if I am elected. I would appreciate your vote. KENNETH CAMPBELL 1. The increased growth of in- dustries and agriculture products through out the township of Stephen, in turn leads to more tax dollars, plus more employ- ment. This is a great asset to our municipality, and will require more road maintenance and more waste disposal. Also I would like to see more assistance given that would in- Das &Ise Haus Wide variety of Canadian and Imported cheeses some mild, some sharp, some delicately flavoured, some pungent, some nut-like and sweet, others smokey and nippy.

This would encourage the young as well as us older folks, to be more active in our community. The need of more water ser- vices is a matter to be dealt with and truly is one of our main issues. 2. I, being a farmer in Stephen for the past seven years, feel that these issues are very important and 'if. re-elected as councillor I .• will certainly deal with all matters to the best of my ability. Having served on council for the past two years, I feel I am able to serve the rate-payers of Stephen. I again solicit your support in the up coming election on December 4. In view of the upcoming municipal elections across the province Monday, the Times- Advocate conducted a survey of all persons contesting seats on municipal councils in this area. The following questions were posed to each candidate: 1) What do you believe are the main issues in your municipality and what is your stand on them? 2) Why should voters support your bid for election? W. DAVID McCLURE 1. I think the major issue facing the electors of Stephen is the possible loss of control of our own local government. Municipal government should be personal and larger government bodies tend to compromise individual heeds to the detriment of each municipality. A regional board such as the Board of Education is either more efficient nor less bureaucratic than its predecessors, and this is our first experience with regional govern- ment. It is quite true that some problems such as resource management and pollution con- trol can only be solved regional- ly. But we should not surrender management of these problems to a remote regional body which does not understand the needs of a specific area. It is much better
