Officials from the ministry, county health unit and planning boards and concerned villagers were present to raise objections or make suggestions. Reeve Jack McCutcheon told the panel of three he thought that the,planned capacity of only 1,110 for the plant was too low as the present population is only 120 people less than that now. He suggested that it would be cheaper to expand while it is being built than to wait a couple of years when the need may arise.

A couple of young boys were observed attempting to imitate the actions of Kung Fu. It was an amusing scene to watch. If they were to become adept in the Kung Fu offensive and defensive tactics they would be dangerous characters to encounter.

Jim Donnelly, McKinley's nominater,introduced his *choice as "a winner and a friend." The audience gave Mr. McKinley a standing ovation as he approached the platform. Despite protests from other areas, he told the audience that according to a nationwide survey, 60-80 percent of all Canadians want an election, He charged the Liberal government of placing farmers low on their priority list. "Any Liberal agricultural minister would have trouble competing with other ministers," Wednesday, June 5, 1974 One of the owners of the adjacent land to the proposed 5 acre site in the north west corner of the village, Ian McDonald told the planners of the plant, !`l don't want you digging through my property more than once." Burns Ross, Goderich engineer, who made the presentation concerning the proposed plant to the audience, told them the 1100 tankage was chosen after looking at a projected growth rate based on the past 20 years. County planner, Gary Davidson explained that these figures are , not always accurate, and his assistant, Nick. Hill said growth is being encouraged in areas like he • said. He also noted that several, policies that the Liberals picked up were initiated by the P.C,'s. Eldon M. Wooiliams, M.P. for Calgary North was guest speaker at the meeting. "Tru •deau says the issue is leadership, He makes that th issue," Woolliams told the audience. "If that is the issue tthen Trudeau will lose the 'election for sure." "This country needs a decent, honest, sincere, thoughtful man," he continued. "We have all those qualities in Stanfield. He shall be the next Prime Minister." Mr, Woolliams assured the people that the Conservatives would win this election. He made Brussels. Mr. Ross said that there is ample room for more tankage, which is all that is really necessary 'for expansion. The Maitland River will receive the treated run off from the system. The area receiving the outflow is downstream from the residential and commercial areas. Many of the villagers attending the meeting either live near the proposed site or own land there. Their biggest concern was the possibility of an odour. Mr. McDonald owns land immediately to the west and north of the site. His farm is located to the west and his property to the south is residential land as yet reference to the Diefenbaker "big sweep of 1958," and how it could happen again. With the defeat of the ROBERT McKINLEY government, Mr. Woolliams said' the "marriage between socialist Lewis and socialist Trudeau was dissolved. We brought an end to their parliamentary power fuddle- cuddle." (Continued on Page 12) undeveloped. He suggested the plant be moved from the south east part of the property to the north east, allowing a 300 foot buffer zone between his property and the plant. This brought objections from Jim McNeil who lives in Morris Township. He told the hearing he didn't want the plant so close to his property and home. It was pointed out however, that the fairgrounds to the east of the site offer a 500 foot buffer zone. Mr. Ross had mentioned earlier that the section where Mr. McNeil lives will not be serviced because of cost.
