"Farmers prices would not be frozen, he said because they go down as well as up." McKinley said that no Canadian has anything to fear from price and wage freezes. He said that Liberal policy of increasing production to lower prices would starve the farmers off the land. Shirley Weary, NDP candidate said that the NDP offers different policies to farmers. Her party pledges income security to farmers with an or- derly national marketing board which is producer directed. She said that the two major parties had taken very little action to promote and maintain a healthy agricultural community. She said the NDP would come up with a price formula related to the costs of production which would guarantee income security for fanners. "Consumers will have reasonable and stable prices only if farmers have reasonable and stable incomes. Mrs. Weary also said that rail transportation was an essential public service and the ND? is committed to have all tran- sportation systems, especially rail, under government control. This would create better balance in transportation availability across the nation. Lyndon attacked the Con- servative price and wage control policy, saying that they had tried hard to make it stick in the US.; and chaos had ensued with a decline in the'GNP and a rise in unemployment.

As soon as you put controls on, progress halts and when progress halts, prices start escalating." Lyndon said that right now a lot of good farm land is going to developers and that "the Liberal government will subsidize a developer who will build on non- prime agricultural land. GB subscribers want Exeter calls A majority of telephone users in the Grand Bend exchange are in favour of free toll calls with Bell customers in Exeter but the local attitude hasn't changed much from a year ago, Early in 1973, Exeter customers- turned down free calling to the summer resort in a mail survey, Area manager for Bell of Canada James Scott said Tuesday, "we have had little indication in recent months that Exeter subscribers have had a change of mind. The only request has come from the Exeter Lions Club." Scott went on to say that if enough reaction was received from Exeter in favour of the move another survey would be undertaken. A recent survey by Hay Municipal Telephone System showed 69 per cent of Grand Bend customers were in favour of free calling to and from Exeter. Included would be an additional monthly service charge of 25 cents. Wayne Homer, secretary of Hay Telephone said 630 of 1,050 .cards were returned with the April billings and 435 were in favour. During the same survey a year ago, Bell customers at Crediton showed they would like free calling to and from Dashwood. Horner said Monday afternoon, "the Crediton-Dashwood situation is favourable on both sides and this free calling move could take place within the next year or two," Grand Bend customers who could previously call free to only Zurich and Dashwood will now get free calls to the 243 exchange at Port Franks. This latest move which went into effect Saturday does not include Thedford. Minor damages in i only mishap Damages amounted to $175 in the only accident investigated this week by officers of the Exeter police department. Saturday vehicles driven by Robert Campbell and Robert Mickle,both of Exeter collided on Main street. Constable James McMeekin investigated. Constable George Robertson is investigating a break-in Sunday at the ticket office at Exeter Community park. The rear door was broken down and a first aid kit stolen. McKinley said that the Liberal policy of increasing commodities to lower the price of food will not work. "We had that before and the farmers simply can't produce under those conditions. Mrs. Weary said that the economic theory of supply and demand seems to apply only to the farmer, only the farmer is penalized. She said that the NDP would buy farms on sale and lease them to young farmers, trying to get started, with the option to buy. Questions from the floor were -mostly on farming in this predominantly agriculture based riding. Some of audience members demanded answers to their problems from the can- didates, but were offered very little concrete help or suggestions. As one member of the audience said, "I hope someone has got this meeting on tape and then when the next election rolls around you people (the can- didates) won't have to bother coming, we can just play back' the tape. The promises are always the same." vices report indicated that a Five Day "Day Camp" opportunity would be offered to asthmatic children in the two county area at the 'Y' Camp with the use of their facilities. Butler reported that volunteers and staff are already deep in preparation for the 1974 Christmas Seal Campaign; and once again expressed deep ap- preciation for the many volun- teers who work year round in all phases of the Association's work, Special tribute was 'paid to Mrs. W. ' Muise, Respiratory Technologist from University Hospital, who supervises equipment in Huron and Perth County homes in her spare time. Dunlop Canada Ltd, franchise dealers will meet this week with the managing director of the parent company in an attempt to head off a takeover by Firestone The and Rubber Co, of Canada Ltd, The Firestone negotiations, Senior opts Continued from front page Some question arose over the parking situation when members noted that there was room for only eight vehicles. While the zoning bylaw in- dicates that buildings serving a "public purpose" are not sub- jected to the rules of the bylaw, the matter has been turned over to the local committee of ad- justment for approval. Members of council expressed the opinion there would be ample parking because few of the senior citizens living in that type of accommodation own cars. While the OHC pays the entire cost of construction, Exeter taxpayers will pay seven and a half percent of any operating deficits there may be when the facility is opened. Whelan visits Huron riding He may be a politician but the farmers who turned out to see Federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan, Tuesday morning had no trouble accepting him as one of their own. Whelan arrived at the Clinton arena by helicopter for a free bacon burger breakfast spon- sored by the Huron-Middlesex Liberal riding association for their candidate, John Lyndon. The Minister spent most of his visit meeting the 200 people there, asking about their farms as he shook hands, and chatting about beef prices, soybean markets and soil conditions. At one point, he told one area beef farmer that he believed in Canadian beef for Canadian markets and American beef for American markets. Later on the platform he described the farm legislation that his party had on the books back in Ottawa, waiting to pass after the election, ,He,also criticised the economic ,poliCies of the Opposition. /711fevwage and price freeze as FileScribed by "Mr. Standstill and 'hl gang" were tried as long ago as `the Roman Empire, he said. "You can check the history books from 1974 to 300 A.D.," he said, "They never worked in any country. People withdraw their services. It interrupts the normal pattern of trade." Mr. Lewis' two-price system for exports and domestic products will not work either he said because Canada is not "an economic island" and she depends on her imports and exports. After his speech, Whelan again boarded his helicopter to con- tinue his tour of Ontario. He was accompanied part of the way by John Lyndon.

J, Snider of Hamilton, vice president of Firestone said: "It's kind of ridiculous to suggest there will be price in- creases. There may be, but they won't have anything to do with the takeover. "Firestone is not aware of Dunlop's research projects so how cap I say whether we'll scrap them. As far as our proposal goes we plan to continue operating Dunlop Canada under that name." A spokesman for Dunlop Canada Ltd. said: "If Firestone continues to operate under our name then I would imagine we would benefit from royalties. I understand Firestone would be able to ex- pand the radial tire market.
