Ai • 11 ; 1 1 a • imrais ready for eIi call, says candidate EXETER - With the announce- ment of the federal election only days away, Liberal candidate Paul Steckle is prepared to hit the ground running. A pre-election get-together was held in Exeter -last Wednesday eve- ning, hosted by long-time party supporter Kim McLean. When asked what he predicted would be the main issues in the Huron -Bruce election, Steckle's --response was quick. "Jobs, and confidence in the gov- ernment," he said. Employment, said Stecklc, is a problem in the riding, as graduates find themselves unable to get work in their chosen fields. For an agri- cultural tiding like Huron -Bruce, Steckle said government should be finding ways to encourage value- added work such as food process- ing in the area. "Somebody told me France pro- duces 1,800 types of cheese,". said Steckle, offering that as an example of how an industry can be fully de- veloped. Steckle said he doesn't want to see the upcoming campaign fought on a negative tone, but he did say he felt Huron County was really no better off than nine years ago when the Conservatives fust came to power. "I think much more could have been dors:," said Stecklc. While MP Murray Cardiff has en- joyed a high profile with govern - merit delegations to foreign coun- tries, Steckle said "you can't represent your constituents when you're in Taiwan". Steckle attacked l'ree -trade and NAFTA as being far too dependent on American approval. "What is Canada any more?" he asked. "Everything we do has the blessing of the American people." Steckle does give credit to the Conservatives for keeping inflation under control, but he said some of that came the expense of jobs, high interest rates, debt, and "massive tax increases". He also accused the OST of be- ing a "terrible" tax that only puts into government revenues about "50 cents on the dollar" because of its cost to business to monitor and collect. Steckle said Liberal leader Jean Chretien strikes him as being very sincere, and he said he has confi- dence in hien to make the drastic changes needed. "I think there's going to be a short time to correct these problems - to get this ship back on course again," said Steckle. As for the riding, Steckle ac- knowledged the huge size of Hu - Residents *lay bingo EXETER - The Exeter Legion Ladies Auxiliary played bingo with the residents on Monday evening August 7.

As a local politician in Stanley -Township, Steekle said he suppon- ed such things as the Stanley Com- plex, the Huron County Museum, and he opposed the construction of the $21 million new homes for the aged in the county. He said Huron - view should have been renovated for about $3.5 million. Steckle has long been a supporter of the Liberal party, helping with all elections, both federal and pro- vincial, since 1962. He said his time has come to represent the rid- ing so he can "look back and know I made a difference".
