They have three grown children. A farmer for 27 years, Mr. Mason is now in the life insurance business. He has been involved with the Agricultural Society for the past 25 years and was a leader with the 4-H for 12 years. While in the past Mr. Mason never had sufficient time to become involved in public office but now does he believes "because of my experience living in the township all my life, knowing the people and the general needs of the taxpayers, I feel that I would be able to represent the taxpayers well and give good judgment for all the township business." Brad Rotteau Mr. Rotteau has been a resident of the Township of Huron for the past 13 years, having moved from London with is wife Dianne and their two children.

He wasalso twice past president of the Pt. Clark Kinsmen and vice chariman of the Point Clark -Huron community centre board. Of concern to Mr. Rotteau is the fact the population growth in the township be ad- dressed by council and the township must keep up with these growths. He also feels council should keep the citizens informed of council business and that council should fully explain the reasons behind any decisions that are made. "Being on council is like being on a team, a team to improve and maintain the quality of life in the township," he said. If elected to council Mr. Rotteau said he will try to accommodate the three' main population groups of the township, the per- manent residents, the farming community and the seasonal residents. . Elmer Smeltzer Mr. Smeltzer, a member of Huron Township council for 16 years, seeks re- election. He and his wife Marianne have three children.

He has been a truck driver for 15 years. He served one year as vice-president of Local 2311 Union and attributes this year as having given him a very good idea on how executive meetings are handled. Mr. Dewar feels that his interest in the operation of a good council and his wish to serve the well being and interests of his community are good reasons for him to be elected. He aims to let the public know what is happening with their taxes and projects that have a personal bearing on them. Mr. Dewar would like to see "the public bring forth their ideas and views that would make this community an enjoyable place to live .and thrive."

Township of Kinloss Kinloss residents will go to the polls to elect a full slate on November 14. Reeve Candidates: Jim Boyle Mr. Boyle and his wife, for 44 years, Mary have three daughters. They are life long residents of this area. For 15 years Mr. Boyle was District Sales Manager in Southern Ontario for a farm equipment dealer and ran his own dealership for 12 years. He is now retired and has the "time to devote to township affairs". Mr. Boyle has served on the Lucknow council, Lucknow School Board and has three years experience as councillor with the Township of Kinloss. When questioned as to what assets he could offer as reeve of the township, Mr. Boyle replied, "One of the most valuable and necessary requirements for a township reeve is experience and the abili- ty to make difficult decisions. This is ob- tained through practical business training, which I have. "The present administration has been in power for 11 years and I feel it is time for a change. Over the years I have had many opportunities to gain extensive business training and experience in making serious decisions. Therefore I feel I am qualified to lead the township couincil of Kinloss in a sound business manner." Barry W. Johnston Barry Johnston is seeking re-election as reeve of the Township of Kinloss. Mr. Johnston, a life long resident of the township, is a farmer, married with three children. He has been reeve for 10 years. He has coached minor hockey for eight years and is a past president of the Bruce County Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Johnston believes "The reeve should be a resident of the township which he will represent, as opposed to a non-resident. As a resident there is more concern for the well being of their community." Mr. Johnston referred to two studies now being tabled in which "we need a strong voice". One being "A County Waste Management Study, which means pro- bably picking sites in rurual areas to dispose of garbage from urban areas. I feel that the urban areas generated the garbage and they should incinerate and dispose of it by some means in their own municipality." "I also understand that Municipal Af- fairs is bringing in a study to amalgamate smaller municipalities. If the concerns of all people are not properly put forward, we will have a system of government very similar to the boards of education." "It is also my duty and concern that all ratepayers and residents of Kinloss are dealt with fairly." Councillors: Dave Eadie Mr. Eadie is married with three children and oeprates a beef cattle and laying hen farm. He is a B. Sc. Agr. graduate of Guelph University. Mr. Eadie offers his 11 years experience on council to the voters. "I believe with my experience on council I can bring knowledge and understanding of township council business to a new council. With the retirement of one of our members of coun- cil and another contesting the reeveship, we will have some new members. This mix of new members, with fresh ideas and perhaps a different perspective, with some Turn to page 10 •
