He continued, "If the Liberals had voted in favour of the amendment to the Throne Speech it would have meant defeating the Government and causing an election. Who ever caused an election would have been punished by the electorate and we did not want to give Davis back his majority." New Democratic Party can- didate Shirley Weary told the large audience that there were many NDP representatives on the committee to save the Clinton hospital. Many thanks Dear Sir: It is with considerable pleasure that I express, on behalf of the Huron County Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, ap- preciation and gratitude to all the residents, industries, business firms and associations of Exeter and surrounding area who contributed so generously to the 1977 Cancer Campaign, You have enabled the Exeter Branch to reach and surpass its objec- tive by 41%. Under the campaign co- leadership of Carfrey Cann and Charles Smith and their ex- cellent team of volunteer can- vassers, the Exeter Branch are to be congratulated on attaining as of May 30th a remarkable total of $11,000.00. This great achievement com- bined with the other Branches in Huron has enabled the Huron County Unit to exceed its 1977 goal of $35,000.00. A most important point to con- sider is that this fine job was done on a voluntary basis which enables the Cancer Society to continue its successful campaign for funds at a cost of only five cents for each dollar raised. This. five cents covers the cost of cam- paign posters, films and canvass kits. Sincere congratulations to all who have made this record possi- ble. This helps to improve the cancer survival rate. Further- more it is the kind of dedication to a cause that will some day beat it altogether.

JOSEPH'S Phone 236-4850 Page 28 Candidates meet in Exeter to debate issues anything, but, I phoned some prominent people in the provincial government and asked what would be the best thing to do to keep the hospital open. They said to test the legality. I phoned this information to the Board and the testing of that legality was what kept the hospital open," This statement was challenged by incumbent MPP Jack Riddell who said, "I find it rather ironical that Mr. McKinley would start by saying he thought there was no hope and end up saying he was responsible for keeping it open." "No one worked harder than the people of Clinton, I think they Marie Flynn, Lorne Lawson, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner. The Clinton Christian Reformed volunteers assisted with ac- tivities. The residents were entertained on "Family Night" with a puppet show, "No Strings Attached". The theme of the show was the story of Jack and The Bean Stalk and was directed by Cheryl Smith assisted by Richard Keelan and Denny Garcia. Anson McKinley, the Progressive Conservative candidate in the Huron- Middlesex riding said Thursday night that he played a responsible role in preventing the closing of the Clinton Hospital. McKinley told about 500 spectators at an all candidates meeting at South Huron District High School in Exeter that he had been contacted at the time of the closing order by members pf the Clinton Hospital Board to determine if there was anthing he could do about it. He continued, "I was not very hopeful of being able to do Dick Roorda led the Christian Reformed Song Service at Huronview Sunday evening with vocal duet numbers by Sharon and Carol Van Den Berg and in- strumentals by Cathy and Steven DeBoer. Mrs. Elsie Henderson was pianist for the service with devotions by Rev, Van Den Berg. Mrs. Marion Sholdice was welcomed to the Home at Mon- day afternoons program. Old Tyme music was provided by were responsible for keeping it open, not Anson McKinley," he added. In, retort, McKinley said, "I said no such thing. I told you where I stood. At the time I felt as helpless as can be, That's why I'm in this campaign, to give Huron-Middlesex an effective voice in Toronto." Quoting from Hansard, the Conservative candidate said the Liberals had introduced an amendment to the Throne Speech which condemned the Govern- ment for closing hospitals and then had voted against the NDP amendment. Riddell quickly denied this The Huronview Auxiliary had a very successful spring tea and bake sale on Wednesday after- noon. Senior Citizens week will be from June 19 to June 26 this year and the residents are counting on seeing a number of their friends and relatives. "We should invite the Premier every 1st of June," commented Reeve Simmons this week when Exeter council discussed the park improvement and landscap- ing done at the administration of- fice. The park and administration offices were spruced up just prior to the visit two weeks ago by Premier William Davis. Councillor Harold Patterson wondered how long the bark chips would stay in place at the administration office and property committee chairman Barb Bell replied they would probably have to be replenished periodically. It was suggested by Councillor Ted Wright that some additional stepping stones be placed in the seating area because some of the seniors found the bark a little tip- sy to walk on. Back attack on mind folk Although few of them knew what it was, members of Exeter council this week concurred with a recommendation from Waterloo asking the Ontario government to suspend the operations of PSI Mind Development Organization ac- tivities. The resolution from Waterloo said the council in that city had grave concerns about the organization and suggested it should be thoroughly in- vestigated by the province. Councillor Barb Bell was the only member of council who had any insight into what the organization was all about. She said she had been reading about it in the Toronto papers and noted that many people involved had ended up with serious mental problems. She also indicated the organization was making money "hand over fist" with its ac- tivities. Mayor Bruce Shaw said he had read something about the organization. The subject of regional government was brought up and the candidates also showed disagreement on this subject, The Liberal incumbent Jack Riddell voiced his earlier cam- paign statements that if the Conservatives were given a majority, they would waste little time in imposing regional government across the province. McKinley said this was not so, adding, "It has never been the plan of the provincial govern- ment to impose a blanket regional government policy across the province," The PC candidate continued, "The Liberals are the only ones on record saying regional government should be applied across the province. You have to give Jack Riddell credit for changing that, but, he has had little more imput." Riddell quickly responded, "That's absolutely untrue." After a similar meeting earlier the same day in Clinton, when the same statement was made, Riddell said he phoned former Liberal leader Robert Nixon who said the Liberal party had never called for regional government. He added, "In fact we are the only party that has consistently opposed regional government. Questions from the floor were on the subjects of political commercials, unemployment and social behaviour. About commercials, Shirley Weary said, "From the ones I have seen, I'd have to say they do not educate society to the issues of an election. They are so repetitious, they turn people off," "I don't know about other people, but television com- mercials don't have much effect on me", said Anson McKinley. Riddell said commercials do not educate the public because they do not present all the facts. He added, "It is only the facts the party wants to present which are shown. This is very misleading." The Davis government was attacked by NDP candidate Shirley Weary for their handling of the unemployment situation. She said young people cannot find jobs because the government' has not provided the stimulus for job creation. She added, "No other govern- ment in the world has the gall to suggest 5.3 percent unem- ployment is full employment. The NDP doesn't suggest instant solutions to the problem but we would start by putting secondary manufacturing back on its feet. McKinley referred to the "Davis Charter" which promises to provide 100,000 new jobs each year. He said the government must be careful not to introduce too much artificial stimulus for jobs. The question of whether the Ontario government should exert much or little influence on social behaviour in areas such as alcohie brought responses from all three questions. Riddell said it was "a very ticklish question" considering 18 year olds could now be compelled to fight any war. He continued, "I don't know if you can tell a young person to go to war and then tell them they are not old enough to handle alcohol." Mrs. Weary said prohibition during the 1920's did not stop people from drinking, "I don't think it matters what age limits are set. If someone younger wants to drink they will get it. The thing to do is educate people to the problems involved. It is not alcohol that is wrong, it's the lack of responsibility that goes with it," she concluded. Mr. McKinley agreed saying, "We cannot legislate people's morals. The much more im- portant answer is to teach responsibility to the individual." The meetiong was sponsored by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture and president Allan Walper of Stephen township was the chairman. Will do own inspections Exeter council moved this week to resume inspection of local sewer connections, at least from the sidewalk into home foundations. Works superintendent Glenn Kells had been doing the inspec- tions until about three months ago, when they were taken over by the Huron County Health Unit. Since then, there have been several complaints from con- tractors about the slowness of getting county inspections com- pleted. Homeowners also found the county inspections more ex- pensive. They charged $18 while the town required payment of only $5. At the suggestion of Deputy- Reeve Don MacGregor, council agreed to notify the Health Unit they would be doing their own in- spections. The Health Unit will still un- dertake inspection of the plum- bing work done inside homes. There was no indication of what the town will charge for their portion of the inspection. If they continue to charge $5 and the county charges $18, local homeowners will now pay a total of $23 for sewer inspections. 45th Wedding Anniversary The family of Agnes and Edwin Regier wish to invite relatives, friends, neighbours and past neighbours to an "Open House" on June 19, 1977 to celebrate their parents 45th Wedding Anniversary to be held at their home, 70 Goshen St., Zurich from 2 - 5 p.m. Best wishes only please, Coming Events At Pineridge Chalet It:R. 2, Henson Sat., June 11 Nolan - Merpaw Open Wedding Reception Mozart's Melody Makers Fri., June 17 Blue Water Shrine Club Dance Roger Quick Tickets Available At Chalet .."..*WW.N•r` Sat., June 18 Vanderweil - Wolper Open Wedding Reception Roger Quick & The Rainbows For Reservations Phone 262-2277 236-4610 236- 4213 Come share our table . .
