'm,•�',-Or- Conservatives won'tAn$wer bells Cardiff Tne bells keep ringing on Perltament Hill in Ottawa, while Liberal and PC members of parliament seek public opinion on the tories absence from the House of Commons. In Huron County, Pro- gressive Conservative MP Murray Cardiff spent the past weekend in his riding and reported a "very sup- purtive" following. He at- tenaed a curling bonspiel in the riding and received numerous phone calls at homeandat his riding office. What is happening is on March 2, the Tories re- quested a recorded vote on an energy security bill to be passed in the Hoitse of Com- mons and have not yet filed in to cast their votes. Cardiff said the bill encompasses 15 individual pieces of legisla- tion and each deserve equal treatment. The 150 -page bill includes legislation on such things as the Petroleum Ad- ministration Act, the Petro - Canada Act, and the Cana- dianization of the oil and gas industry. Cardiff said there are areas he feels should be passed, but to put them in one bill is a "gradual erosion 1 • says riding residents support g PC stand The Tory caucus meets every morning at 9:15 a.m. and are awaiting action from . the Liberal government.

As examples, he noted .Via Rail reductions and im- plementation of the metric system becoming fact without debate. Tories are .also concerned because the bill as it stands, will not be brought to standing commit- tee which would allow members of parliament to question expert witnesses. At its caucus meeting Monday morning, MPs reported "astounding sup- • port" from constituents, Perth MP William Jarvis (who chaired the meeting) reported. He noted•members also went to areas where there are no Tory MPs. Cardiff said he'd only received one negative response and that was on Wednesday, the day follow- ing the initial action.,One of the MP's staff members received acallfrom consti- tuent saying what the Tories are doing is wrong. "The others have been very supportive," said Cardiff. • A NEEDLESS WASTE — Pinery Park naturalist Terry Crabe is urging farm owners and residents in the Pork's vicinity to securely tie up their dogs to prevent scenes like this one from recurring.

GB feels fire tax losses. The amount of accom- modation in Grand Bend has been affected due to the fire loss of the Village Inn and the Green Forest Motel in the last three months, accor- ding to Bob Simpson, past secretary -treasurer of the village Chamber of Commerce. Simpson agreed that the lost rooms would have an impact on summer tourist accommdation, but that the loss is more acutely felt at the local level because both facilities had been used by village organizations for their meetings. Simpson said there are enough dining rooms in the village to meet the demand in the summer months, but groups and organizationswill feel the loss of two well - liked meeting places. In conversations with other Chamber of Commerce members, Simp- son said there was no ex- pressed concern that arson was the cause of these re- cent fires. "They're just wondering about them, that's all,' he said. "They would like to know what the answer is when an answer is found." Meanwhile, the . village coffers have felt a pinch due to the three fires at the Green ) Forest, the Village Inn and the Casino, in the last nine months. Reeve Bob Sharen said the village has lost about $5,300 or one-third of the ;16,000 collected each year in property taxes. The remainder is levied by the .school board and the county. The village's total budget is about ;450,000 this year, he said. Whether or not this year's loss will affect budgeting in 1963 depends on changes in the condition in the economy, he said. The large expansion at the Pine Dale Motel could help with its increased tax payment. Riddell post Continued from front page chairman of a task force on health care.
