Maurice Sauve, federal minister of forestry, was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Western Ontario North Liberal Association held here on Saturday afternoon. He made a strong plea for national unity. He said Canada cannot survive without the Province of Quebec and Quebec cannot live without the rest of Canada. He spoke to some 200 dele- gates who arrived for the meet- ing at the Wingham District High School. The Association takes in nine federal ridings and 10 provincial ridings in Western Ontario. The gathering was welcomed to Wingham by Mayor DeWitt Miller. Mr. Sauve was introduced by Goder- ich lawyer, Dan Murphy. In his remarks the minister said that Prime Minister Pear- son has the support of the peo- ple of Canada and is the only man who has the ability to forge national unity. He said the unity of the nation is being improved under the Liberal party and that his.party is the only one capable of keeping Canada strong. He claimed there is no future for Canada without national unity and that we have to live together for the success of the country. The speaker called for a re- turn of the two-party system, and said the increased salaries voted to members of parlia- ment will make it possible to have better men stand for elec- tion. The best thing that can hap- pen to the Liberal party, Mr. Sauve said, will be the contin- ued leadership of the opposition by Mr. Diefenbaker. The longer he stays, the better it will be, he said. On the local scene, Mr, Sauve told the meeting that the strength of the party depends on the hard work of the party merry bers. He asked for a search to find strong candidates for, the next election. The minister went on to out- line the accomplishments of his party since it took office, He listed some 40 items. that he claimed have shown his government has done a good job for the nation. He received a big laugh from the audience when he said "We got rid of Hal Banks --Well, he's out of the country, isn't he?" He mentioned as especially important legislation in con- nection with the pension plan, fishing ground limits, reform procedures in the house, agri- culture, the war on poverty, welfare legislation, housing, electoral redistribution, im- proved farm credit and the im- provement of the ARDA pro- gram which he said will be very important in Western Ont- ario. In reply to a report by the organization's agricultural com- mittee, he said that under ARDA a retirement plan could be set up for farmers in the 55 to 70 year group. Mr. Sauve said that poverty on the farm is one of the top concerns of his government, ,,.N.N stating that in Ontario 25 per cent of farmers live in poverty, some 76, 000 families. Across Canada 389,000 fano families live in poverty, a number which represents 35 per cent of the total farm families in the nation. This, he said, is on top of another 500, 000 who live in urban areas. Newly appointed organizer for the area, Gordon Beaton of Markdale, also spoke briefly. He said the Liberals have pro- vided Canada with the best government since confedera- tion. He asked for strong can- didates to be chosen when nomination meetings are held. The organization held its election of officers and return- ed Bruce McCullough of Kitch- ener as president; A.Y. Mc- Lean, of Seaforth, secretary; Fred Snyder of Kitchener, treasurer and William Tilden of Harriston, agricultural com- mittee.
