W.O. North Liberals Meet
Forestry Minister Makes
Plea for Notional Uni
The Hon. 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.
