Huron
NDP plans year.
Members of the Huron NDP
Riding Association met last week
in Holmesville to plan for the 1975
membership drive. Discussion
centered on the campaign
approach for the expected
Provincial Election. Shirley
Weary ,Riding President said that
the proposed new Riding had
come under fire from many
groups in Huron and Middlesex
and was one of the areas under
possible further revision,
according to Provincial sources in
the NDP.
The group reviewed changes in
the NDP Transportation Policy
and agreed that there was a very
real need for co-operation at all
levels of government if r the
problems felt in rural Ontario
were to be rectified.
Paul Carroll advised4 that the
membership will be asked to
support a testimonial dinner to be
held in London in April for David
Lewis, the retiring Federal
leader. A number of tickets at $15
each will be available through the
Riding Executive..
Plans were reviewed for the
,Regional Spring Conference in
Chatham. Five delegates will
attend from Huron in addition to
Paul Carroll who has been asked
to be one of the keynote speakers
for the conference. The
discussions will focus on policy
statements approved at the 1974
convention as a means of
membership education in
preparation for the Provincial
Election.
No date has yet been set for a
social activity with Stephen Lewis
as host. The Riding :Association
was awarded the event after the
1974 membership drive when
they achieved the greatest
improvement in prepaid
memberships in the Province.
How many energy leaks
are there in your home?
At one.drop per second. a /dripping hot water tap can
waste about 175 gallons of hot water each month. The
electricity required to heat that water would keep a
60-watt bulb burning continuously.
Pbor insultion...a faulty heating systern...inefficient
use of appliances...all cause energy leaks.in the home.
This can increase the'cost of running a home—and waste
Canada's precious energy resources,
It makes good.Sense to use electricity and all forms
of energy wisely. And that includes stopping those
