In campaign manager Ken Campbell's
home poll for example, Murray Cardiff, won
by, only one vote.
Someone else .in the audience called out,
"It's a Liberal majority", referring to
national results, but another supporter
advised, ''Oh well, we won't worry about
them Betty, we'll worry about this one
here.''
By 9:40 p.m, Mr. Cardiff was leading, the
race with 12,513 votes to Graeme Craig's
11,033 votes and Tony McQuail's 2,929
votes. His campaign manager said he felt
Mr. Cardiff could announce his victory
almost anytime now, but the candidate
decided he wanted a more substantial lead..
As Bob McKinley said, "he's a cautious
man."
When Murray Cardiff did admit it looked
like he'd taken the riding, reporters asked
why he thought his campaign had been
successful. Mr. Cardiff said he thought he'd
run a good campaign and that he had
well-organized people helping him.`, He
added he'd tried to be positive about the
campaign and said later, "I always try to be
positive about anything I do."
He said his wife Betty had predicted that
morning that there would ,be a 2,000 vote
spread between the Liberals and
Conservatives in the riding, but also
predicted the race could' go either way.
Mr. Cardiff said he thought some of his
past experience helped him win the riding,

nearly doubled that to 11.11 per cent, by
picking up 3,864 votes this time.
Progressive Conservative candidate
Murray Cardiff won the riding with 16, 523
votes, defeating Liberal Graeme Craig, who
polled 14,364 votes.
Mr. McQuail said he was pleased with his
showing in an area that has never been
very favorable to his party, "I think we're
going somewhere," he said Monday night
at a small party gathering at organizer Paul
Carroll's home in Seaforth.
He said that the NDP offers the only real
alternative to the Liberals and Conservatives
and he was pleased people were beginning
to see that.
Mr. McQuail, who is an alternate energy
advocate and a conservationist, also set a
F'C's
Associaton and the PC riding association.
He said since he was elected against the
trend to a Liberal majority which swept the
country, then voters, "must be voting for the
man."
Mr. Cardiff told reporters one of his
first moves will be to open a constituency
office immediately, likely in the Brussels
area, which he said is centrally located so it's
about 45 minutes from any place in the
He said he wants to offer as good service
as Bob McKinley gave to the riding and that
his constituents will come first. He said he
will work both for farmers and to bring
industry into the area. • He said one
Conservative party policy he particularly
supported was the apprenticeship program
since "we want to keep our young people in
the area."
In an interview with CKNX after he was
declared the winner in the riding, Mr.
Cardiff admitted the election results
"appeared like a horse race for a very long
time."
He said he felt the excise tax and the Tory
budget had led to the defeat of the party
nationally, although in his own campaigning
he found many people supported the
gasoline excise tax since they felt Canada
must become more energy conscious.
When it was obvious Mr. Cardiff had won
the riding, his supporters in the Brussels
arena started celebrating the victory to the
music of a local orchestra. Mr. Cardiff, the
freshman MP, was already planning his next
move-a drive to London on Tuesday to
tender his resignation as chairman of the
Ontario White Bean Producers' Marketing
Board.

Park,a first for the party.
The mood of the several dozen supporters
who gathered at. Mr. Carroll's home on
Monday night was quiet and Sombre at first
when the results from the Maritimes,
Quebec, and Ontario came in, showing that
in those areas the party had lost several
seats, and wasn't doing as well in Ontario as
they thought they would. At one point, the
gathering sat Stunned as early polls showed
even their leader Ed Broadbent in trouble in
Oshawa, but the tide turned for Mr.
Broadbent and then for the party as the
results from the prairie proVinceS and British
Columbia started pouring in, showing the
NDP with a very strong base out west and a
total of 36 seats.
From the first poll phOned in at 8:13' p.m,
(Graeme, Craig's home poll number 163 in
McKillop) to the last after 11 p.m. (a
deputy returning officer from Kinlosi
Township who had misunderstood in-
structions drove his results down rather
, than phoning them in) the mood in the
Huren-Bruce -riding returning office in
Seaforth was quiet on election night.

appointed returning officer Art Bolton, of
R.R.1, Dublin went very smoothly, a fact
Mr. Bolton atfributed to his hard working
Staff and experience he gained helping his
father Russell who was returning officer for

Most of the returns were in well before
10 p.m. (Seaforth area returns were among
the first completed) with the large
Goderich advance poll the second last
count received. Workers at most polls
—followed instructions to call the returning
office first with totals which were quickly
relayed by party workers to each
candidate's headquarters.
The first few polls showed Liberal,
Graeme Craig in the lead, then Murray
Cardiff, pulled ahead by a few votes after 10
polls. After 60 - of the riding's 197 polls
reported, Mr. Craig was ahead by about
120 votes. Mr. Cardiff was more than 500
up at 90 polls and he gained votes the rest
While some paper, such as
newsprint, is meant to last
only for .a 'short while, other
types of paper remain intact
for centuries.' Here are a few
inexpensive but important
things to remember for safe-
guarding your books and
pictures, especially rare ones.
Even the best quality ,of
paper will not stand up to
abuse. Factors which affect
paper are mainly environmen-
tal conditions, insects and
man.
Paper items should be kept
in a dry environment; humid
conditions can cause mold to
grow, This usually shows up
as dull rusty spots. The
problem of mold can be
temporarily cured by expos-
ing the' paper to fungicide in
a closed container. However,
if the same humid conditions
are present after treatment,
the mold may return. To
minimize this, use a dehumid
ifier. Or better still, move
your books to a less humid
area.
Lack of air circulation can
also cause mustiness and
mold, If ,you have books
stored in boxes or have
pictures hanging in your
home or if your house has
been closed for some time,
make sure to open every-
thing to air periodically. To
improve the air circulation
around pictures, place a
piece of cork or wood along
'the lower back edge of the
frame, This will create a gap
between the wall and the
picture.
