A Brussels man, Max Watts,
was a prize winner when the
Maitland Valley Region of
Historical Automobile Society of
Canada attended the annual
judging meet on Sunday, June 9
at Doon Pioneer Village,
Kitchener.
The weekend started with a
slow tour for the brass cars and a
fast tour for the general interest
cars. This tour wound its way

Prime Minister Trudeau has
unveiled the Liberal Party's
three-point housing program
which is intended to make lower
and medium priced housing more
available. Included is a $500 grant
for first-time house buyers to
offset the 11% building tax.
Mr. TrUdeau followed this up
with an announcement of his
party's transportation policy. The
thrust is to put people and
national interests before profits.
The Liberal Party is committed to
the building of a thoroughly
modern railroad system.
"Transportation is what holds
us together ... national policy
must work to make sure that
where distance divides us,
transportation unites us," he
said.

faring better than other nations,
50% said the same and only 0%
said not as good.

(Mr. Stanfield) declares haltingly.
Can't you just imagine millions of
Canadian housewives sending
bills to Tory headquarters
demanding retroactive
overpayments? What
nightmarish nonsense!
Retroactive to when, to what and
how?" Mr: Lewis asked.
In Calgary, Manpower and
Immigration Minister Robert
Andras said Stanfield's price and'
wage controls policy would be
"absolutely disastrous - if he can
get his party to gb along with it."

policy could only lead to serious
uneniployinent in Canada.

rains policy
The federal government's new Feed Grains Policy becomes effective

the best price for their crops;
• a nation-wide information system through the Canadian Livestock
Feed Board will keep everyone inforined on selling prices across
the country;
• the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and
seller of feed grain for export market;
• prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB
or to others on the domestic market;
• cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those
provided to Prairie grain producers for many years, will be extended
to growers across the country to encourage feed grain production;
• a new storage program, costing the federal government $40 million
a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for
Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on
the West Coast, in inland terminals, On the Great Lakes and the
St Lawtence and in the Maritimes;
• steps will be taken to bring into balance freight rates between meat
and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and
livestock prices, and the degree Of regional selfrsufficiency in
grain producticiri.
