Hot debate topic for
all election candidates
ngua[isnt proved one of the hot-
test topics of debate when candidates
of all three_partiesin the t tnlaru►elec--
tion of September 10 look pari in a
debate sponsored by the I luron C'oun-
'ty Federation of Agriculture.
Nico Peters. .brought hearty
response from his supporters when he
declared. in answer to a question
from the floor. that -he was against bil-
ingualism for Ontario. Ile said that if
Huron County Board of Education
had approved French immersion
classes for .the county schools he
would have enrolled his children in it
but he did not agree with having
French "rammed (toxin people's
throats."
Paul Klopp for the Nt)l' said he
didn't recall anybody trying to ram
anything down anybody's throats. Ile
said he hadn't been "nature enough"
when he was in grade nine to decide
to take French while his friends in the
separate school system had had
French all through elementary school
and now he regretted his loss. "1 think
we can have French and English in
this province and get along." he said.
Jack Riddell for the Liberals quoted
extensively from a Toronto Star col-
umn that accused the Progressive
Conservatives of fear mongering.
David Peterson. he said, was trying
to bring people together. not divide
them. Ile pointed out that Rill 13, the
bill extending French language rights
to government services had been ap-
proved unuanintously by all three
parties and provided government
sr•evices in both languages where
numbers of French speaking people
warranted it.
That brought a question from the
Iloor• from Grant Sparling. Bfyth
businessman. who asked why Ontario
should provide services in. both
French and English when the Quebec
government prints its documents on -
IV in French. Ile said his company
does thousands of dollars of business
with 'Queberc and can't understand
the documents it gets from the
government.
I Later another member of the au-
dience stood up and offered to
translate the documents if Sparling
needed help.)
Riddell replied that he felt the at-
titude was changing in Quebec now
that the Parti Quebecois was no
longer in power. When he was in
Quebec for a conference he said. peo-
ple quickly switched to English to ac-
ccfinmodate him when they found out
how poor his French was .This was a
big improvement since the PQ days
when people wouldn't speak English.
he said. 11e said he would be surpris-
ed if Snarling -didn't find things im-
proving more yet under the current
Quebec government.
Peters got the last word in the
debate. He claimed the Liberals were
misleading people equating Bill 8 with
bilingualism and said Bill 8 was fine
but official bilingualism was wrong.
To use catch basins
'I'uckersmith township council was'
informed of the advantages of using
the 1lickenbottom catch basins over
normal catch basin installations on
Municipal road allowances.
Brent Kennedy of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture attended
the council meeting Tuesday night
and advised that the flickenbottonts
were designed to create a ponding.
thus allowing water to be retained and
forced through the underground
drainage system. This causes more
water to be taken to a smaller size
tile.
1lickenboltom also advised that
they were generally less costly and
easier to install than normal catch
basins and require Tess maintenance
to maintain them in the future.
Council endorsed the resolution of
the towni�ship of Beckwith requesting
the pr$'incial government to discon-
tinue --[[he sales tax applied to equip-
ment and supplies directly used in fire
protection. ,
Russell Archer of Vanastra was
given permission to install his sign on
municipal property between lot :3,
plan 133 and highway N4►. 4,.
Council authorized the collection of
the $1,000 connection fee for services
on the south side of the Egmondville
River serviced by the Egmondville
Water System but waive the annual
connection consumption charge until
such time as the residence is con-
nected to the municipal water supply.

Granton Church news
At St. Thomas Anglican church, the
Rev. Beverly Wheeler was in charge
of the morning prayer service. John
Herbert was crucifer. Music was sup-
plied by Marlene French. Muriel
Lewis read the lessons.
Rev. Wheeler read the gospel and
preached her sermon from Matthew
16 where Peter states his belief in
Jesus as our Saviour. The only way to-
day's Christians can show their belief
are in their actions as an open Chris-
tian by loving and accepting all peo-
ple of Christ, not as a rigid Christian
who will only love those who act as
they do.
Church news
At Granton United Churh, the Rev.
Bruce Pierce was in charge of the
Sunday morning worship and took the

Christians face today. We all sin in a
number of ways.
Praying for others, we just want to
surrender all to God. How are u•e to
understand God's way'' There are
three waysask,seek and knock and
thinking, working -and yes, writing.
In the children's time the minister
talked to them about making a list of.
requests from God, something like the
shopping lists their mothers, make.
