The present member of parliament was the unanimous choice of his party supporters at a nomination meeting in Saltford, Thursday night. McKinley in his acceptance speech justified the ukoming election saying a recent questionnaire showed 60 to 80 percent of Canadians said the referendum was necessary, He suggested the Liberal party paid little attention to farmers saying, "they only listened when forced to." "The seven cent subsidy on beef was a good example of their legislation, In 10 days the price of beef dropped. I don't know where the subsidy went. Neither the farmer or consumers benefit- ted," added McKinley. The Huron MPP told the crowd of 200 an import quota on beef would have been better, He went on to accuse the government of stealing legislation ideas from the Con- servatives, McKinley com- mented, "they were completely bereft of new ideas so they stole ours." In conclusion McKinley said, "we have always been respon- sible opposition coming up with alternatives now we will be a responsible government." The guest speaker at the nomination meeting was the Calgary North M.P. Eldon M. Wooliams, He scoffed at the idea the election was not necessary and was too costly saying, "$27,000,000 is cheap to get rid of the Trudeau government". Wooliams contended the battle will be won or lost in Ontario. He went back to the 1972 election Saying 47 votes spread around in the right constituencies would have given the Conservatives more members than the Liberals. "Trudeau says the issue is leadership. If that is the issue then he will lose the election for sure. We are bound to win," continued Wooliams. On the subject of inflation Wooliams said, "this continued growth of federal spending is the major cause of domestic in- flation, As in the past, inflation will mean small businesses, corporations, people will be paying taxes on what largely is illusionary profits or illusionary increases in pay." "In brief, you cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift, You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong," added Wooliams. McKinley's nomination was made by Goderich lawyer James Donnelly who said the Huron riding is Canada's political barometer. Referring to McKinley, Don- nelly added, "his qualifications go unchallenged, he's one of us, he's a winner. By our ballots they shall know us," The nomination of McKinley was seconded by Glenn Webb of Stephen who said he had the same honour eight years ago. Huron-Middlesex party president Clayton Laithwaite was chairman for the meeting. Also speaking briefly were Elgin M.P. John Wise and Bill Jarvis, Perth M.P. Former Huron M.P,P, C. S.

MacNaughton said "the government move of giving Mr Canada back to Manitoba doesn't fool anybody." "We wanted to conform to what's going on in other counties around us," said Cochrane, "so our students wouldn't be penalized when it came to job hunting by having to stay in school the extra week." Cochrane said there bad also been some pressure from the farm community. Because of bad weather they wanted their children out of school to help with the work, he said. Technically the school year is supposed to have 185 teaching days which means they are now five days short. So school facilities will still be available for students to use on an optional basis. There will be no problem with supervision because teachers are required to stay at the school until June 28 regardless of when students leave, At South Huron District High School the teachers were told that all examinations, tests and any new work must be completed by June 7. After that date, there will be no new work assigned but students can come to school to finish any assignments. All previously scheduled field trips are still on and the technical facilities are also remaining open. Many of the theatre arts and Shakespeare students will be continuing with their scheduled seminars and productions. All the buses will continue to run during the week of June 10 to 14.
