EXETER PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION M. A. Greene - Chairman C. H. Livingstone - Commissioner B. F. Shaw - Commissioner H. L, Davis W Manager Continued from page 17 emphasized there had been a series of deficits every year since Premier Robarts retired and Interest now amounted to more than a billion dollars a year, No wonder, he said that former provincial treasurer Chas. MacNaughton had predicted that "we're headed for a fiscal nightmare". Reminding his audience that the Liberals had pointed out the Tory fiscal folly Mr. Nixon said examples of extravagance were in the two sites for cities which had been purchased in Norfolk at a cost of 50 million with no con- sultation, no planning. He en- dorsed Mr. Riddell's prediction that if the Conservatives obtained a majority the province will be entirely regionalized within three years. Mr. Nixon was introduced by Joe Hogan, Exeter and in thanking him Mrs. Muriel Murphy, Goderich recalled the role he had played in "rescuing the riding" in the by-election, Reeve Harold Knight, Hensall in welcoming the audience to Hensall recalled the meeting held in Hensall School that had nominated Jack Riddell during the by-election and how success had followed that meeting. He predicted the same success would follow this meeting. D. J. Murphy Q.C., Goderich explained details of the election expenses act and urged co- operation in assisting in the campaign. A door prize was won Install bath at Bluewater A whirlpool bath has been installed in the Bluewater Rest Home to allow even the weakest residents the comforts of soothing no effort bathing. The bath comes complete with a chair and hoist which allows users of the bath to be raised from wheelchair level and lowered directly into the bath at the simple touch of a lever. In the past, many of the bed- ridden patients at the rest home found baths a problem as three attendants were re q uired to lift the residents in and out of the tubs and also to hold and bath them. Under the new system, only one attendant is required and the bather is able to relax and enjoy the whirling waters with automatically controled bathing temperature. The whirlpool has been in use for close to two weeks now, and RestHome manager Joe Risi says it has been a complete success. "It is actually almost being over-used" laughed Mr. Risi, "it was purchased with the bed- ridden residents especially in mind but all the residents seem to enjoy it." This was echoed by one of the residents of theRest Home as she emerged sparking clean and relaxed after her experience in the whirlpool. "I feel five years younger after getting out of that thing" she remarked, and then smiled, The purchase of the whirlpool bath was made possible by a donation left to the Rest Home by the estate of the late Edwin Sittler who passed away November 16, 1975. by Don. Richards, RR 1 Kirkton, Entertainment was provided by Michael Shea and Wilfred Riddell of RR 2 Granton and chairman for the evening was Ian McAllister, association president. PC meeting Continued from page 17 site," he concluded. Bruce Murray, the popular Lions member and after-dinner speaker from St. Marys, told the audience that Stephen Lewis didn't want to bring Quebec into the Ontario election "because he doesn't have the ability to cope with it like Bill Davis does". He told the PCs to involve the young people in the campaign and listen to what they have to say. "It is they who will help the party run the province for years to come," he said. Party vice-president Cayley Hill, Goderich, told the meeting that there was no sense in retur- ning a member of a third party. He predicted there wouldn't be very many Liberals returned and another term for Jack Riddell would provide the riding only with "someone whispering from the cheap seats", "We won't have a voice in the present or the future," he remarked. Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw, who termed himself a "good Conservative" and said he regretted being unable to contest the nomination himself, predicted the PCs would form a majority government after June 9 and said unless Huron- Middlesex elected a PC they would still be on the outside look- ing in. He said governments were far more agreeable to local requests when they had a sitting member and noted that life for municipalities "was far easier" when Charlie MacNaughton was the MPP. Shaw said that Riddell was a good representative, but unfor- tunately was extremely limited because of his party affiliation. made from Adam's rib, and that surely was a surgical operation." "Maybe"; said the architect, "but prior to that order was created out of chaos, and that was an architectural job." "But," interrupted the politician, "somebody created the chaos first!"

CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD NDP choose Continued from page 17 Guest speaker at the meeting, London Centre NDP candidate Stuart Ross spoke to the group on health care and the loss of agricultural land. He noted that Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller announced the hospital and health cutbacks on December 19, 1975. This was only one day after. the provincial parliament rose for its Christmas recess, Ross felt that this was done to avoid a public forum and any political pressure on the, issue. Ross also noted the con- tradictions in Miller's proposals. He explained that while Miller was announcing his policies, his officials from the board of health were negotiating in good faith with the board of directors at the Paris Hospital for improvements and changes. Ross also spoke on another , major NDP concern, the loss of prime farmland in Ontario. • He said that southern Ontario has lost some 500,000 acres of agricultural land in the past five years. He also explained that the number of active farms has decreased by about seven percent in the past five years. He said that this has happened because the government has mismanaged our province and mismanaged our resourses. "We-have been led to believe that we have a good government Shirley Weary but it is arbitrary and it is wasteful," he added. Weary will be running against Jack Riddell, the Liberal can- didate for the riding and Anson McKinley for the Conservatives. She was an unsuccessful candidate for the NDP in three previous federal elections. Weary is the president of the riding association and teaches at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, Page 32 Times-Advocate, May 19, 1977 Riddell is ready By MANUEL CURTS GREENWAY Rev, Roy J.
