OTHER PARTIES On the splinter parties, Mr. Beer suggested that they claim- ed the country could be operat- ed by minority governments, but the speaker violently object- ed to this reasoning. He went on to say that Mr. Pearson wanted new ideas and would build solidarity and offer a united team. He flayed Con- servative agricultural policies, saying that the government has told western farmers, "You grow it and we'll sell it, " while in Ontario they had said, "Cut production, or we'll cut sub- sidies." He concluded by say- ing that a Liberal Government would help producer marketing organizations by bringing in good legislation. HARRIS SPEAKS The Hon. Walter Harris told the group he was substituting for Mitchell Sharp the Liberal authority on tra•.e and com- merce, who cot: id not attend the meeting. Mr. Harris pointed to what he called the decline of the country since the Liberal party has been out of power. From the end of the war, he said, until 1957 the Liberal govern- ment had avoided inflation, kept the economy on an even keel had kept the national debt down, unemployment low and had done nothing to mortgage the future of the nation. In 1957 the Conservative government was all set to spend surplus money raised under Liberal budgets, Mr. Harris claimed, but found the surplus had been used to pay off public debt. All public expenditure of any great moment stopped in 1957, he stated, and the money has been used in other ways. Mr. Harris said there was 930 million dollars in the Un- employment Insurance fund in 1957, and this was now de- pleted. It was ture, he went on, that unemployment has been high, but this still doesn't account for the fact the fund is now depleted. The speaker said, "The Lib- eral party reduced national debt by one billion dollars and now it is up by three billion, and what have you got for it?" He answered the question by say- ing "The three billion had been spent in educating the Conser- vative party". The Liberal party has been accused of upsetting the govern- ment this year, but he said he was astonished by the suggestion that it was not the opposition's perogative to do so if they felt things were not being handled properly. The people who think this way, he said, must be afraid of the electorate. Mr. Harris reminded the meeting that it was on the de- fence debate that the govern- ment fell, because the splinter groups felt there was lack of de- cision on the part of the govern- ment. People should overlook the arguments of the splinter par- ties he said. The S.C. Party has discredited itself as it is split into two camps, and the N.D.P. hasn't found itself Record Number Of Candidates Are Nominated Official nomination day for the April 8th federal election was Monday of this week. A record number of persons were named, 1.027, which is ten more than the number nomina- ted for the June election last year. Both Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties had a candidate for every one of the country's 265 constituencies; Social Credit candidates were nominated in 224 ridings in- cluding all '15 Quebec open- ings. The New Democrats nominated candidates in 232 ridings which included full slates in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, The Communist party nom- inated 11 and there are 28 in- dependents. Candidates nominated in nearby ridings are as follows: Grey -Bruce: E. J. IvlcAsey, NDP; Duncan McCallum, Lib.; George Watson, SC; Eric Wink- ler, inkler, PC, Grey North: David Almour Clarke, SC; Arthur Harrison, Lib.; Percy Noble, PC; J. Stevenson, NDP. Huron: L.

POETS LAUREATE The poet laureate is, offi- cially, a member of the lord chamberlain's department of the royal household of Great Britain. The first poet laureate was Ben Jonson, in the reign of James I. Other famous poets laureate include John Dryden, Robert Southey, William Words- worth, ordsworth, Lord Tennyson, Robert Bridges and John Masefield. PC Speaker Continued from Page One enacted; there was progress in agriculture, transportation. As a result, he avowed, per- sonal and labor incomes are at a new high; industrial produc- tion has been increased, as has construction, EMPLOYMENT SITUATION Mr. Howe said there were 38,000 less unemployed in Canada this February than there were during the same month last year. Over 700, 000 more persons are at present employed in Canada than there were when the PC's came to power. The speaker referred to the benefits which the Diefenbaker government has conferred on our own community such as a million dollar vocational school now under construction; the construction of sewage disposal plant; senior citizens' housing; many of the social services we enjoy and grants to the local hospital. In each of these pro- grams, he stated, the federal government participates in large degree. Another situation to which he referred was the decision to withdraw the railways' applica- tion for closing of the branch line from Palmerston to Kincar- dine. In regard to the future, Mr. Howe said that the prime minis- ter has pledged a million new jobs for Canadians within the next five years and relief from the burden of taxation.

He suggested Finance Minister Nowlan could tell what was in a proposed budget, hut hadn't done so. Mr. Harris said he could guess — it would contain a deficit of 600 or 700 million dollars. The Conservatives have been using a delaying action since June, the speaker claimed, and now have fallen apart with internal disorder. He asked, "Is this the kind of party you would want to trust with 6 or 7 million dollars of your money?" There has to be a basis of co-operation to make a gov.ern- ment work, and all suggestions aside, he claimed, a minority government just does not func- tion properly. Mr. Harris said the Liberal party has the men with ability to form a government that would administer the affairs of the country properly. In con- clusion he asked the audience to support Mr. Tilden and the other candidates who were on the platform.
