Forty people from many
countries received their
citizenship. Her Honour,
Judge C.M.V. Pensa presided
in a warm and friendly man-
ner, lecturing on the merits
and responsibilities of Cana-
dian citizenship, and conduc-
ting the rites in a helpful way
for anyone whose English was
uncertain. She expressed
regret afterwards that there
wasn't time to hear the in-
teresting stories some of the
immigrants would be able to
tell.
Constable Henderson, in
R,C.M.P. dress uniform, was
present, and remained for the
reception. When Thuy ex-
pressed interest in his gun, he
removed it from its holster
and allowed him to examine
it and placed 4iis hat• on
Thuy's head for pictures.
Each new citizen received
a Bible from the Canadian Bi-
ble Society and a book from
the City of London. Mrs. Mur-
ray, representing the
I.O.D.E., welcomed them and
other members served at a
reception.
The Nguyens were enter-
tained at a luncheon at
Gabriel's to celebrate, and
presented with gifts. There
was much laughter, as those
who worked closely with Hiep
and Tai reminisced about the
difficulties with budgeting
and suitable clothing for
winter weather, etc. Tai
received high marks in a
machinery course at Fan-
shawe and is employed at
Ventures in Vanastra. Hiep
teaches in Robertson
Memorial Public School in
Goderich. They hope to move
to Clinton this summer. They
also hope to bring their
parents to Canada this year.
Mr. Stephen Taylor of
Bristol, England spent the
weekend visiting his cousins
George and Adam Wilson and
their families. This was their
first meeting, and they real-
ly enjoyed their visit with
him.
Bill and Joyce Dowson and
Allan and Marjorie Hayter
arrived home Sunday evening
' from a two-week vacation in
Montego Bay. They enjoyed
beautiful weather, got lots of
exercise one day climbing to
the top of'Dunn's Falls, and
took a train .trip into the
mountains.
Eric and Sharon Chuter en-
joyed a holiday in Florida
recently.
Anna: Keys returned home
from Clinton hospital on Fri-
day, and is feeling much

a second quilt at Dorothy
Ostrom's home. A social hour
was enjoyed with our
hostesses over a cup of coffee

Ry Jack Riddell MPP
Government Spending
Liberal Finance Critic Pat
Reid (Rainy River) has again
attacked the Government's
spending practices.
A 142,600 study to deter-
mine public attitudes to Expo
86 in Vancouver B.C. under-
taken by Decima Research
for the Ministry of Citizenship
and Culture, paid for with tax-
payer's money, was neither
tendered nor exempted from
tendering by the Cabinet's
Management Board.
The project was cleverly
divided into three segments
billed below 115,000 each - the
key figure which would have
brought into play the need for
tendering. Once again,
thousands of taxpayer's
dollars went to an organiza-
tion friendly to the Davis
government. Other firms
were given no opportunity to
bid, always supposing the
contract award was a
legitimate exercise.
Opposition Leader David
Peterson and Mr. Reid also
made public details of a series
of contracts costing more
than 1150,000 in public funds.
None was tendered, rules
were blatantly manipulated,
apparently to evade the pro-
visions of the Davis govern-
ment's much touted Manual
of Adminjstration.
Disclosures on public
money going to favoured
firms and individuals put to
lie to the myth that the Davis
Government is administering
the public purse wisely and
well.
Recently contracts were
awarded to Peter Barnard
Associates for advice on
creating resources
machinery development cen-
tre in Sudbury and to Dorey
and Crossley Communica-
tions for services during a 26
week absence of a senior staff
member.
We have witnessed con-
traventions of the Manual of
Administration by several
ministries. For example, the
Doug Wiseman/Alan Gordon
disputes: the 581,300 contract
Jach s )ottingo
Attack spending
to Allan W. Foster and
Associates parcelled out in
ten separate payments each
below the 115,000 tendering
level; the 1101,000 telephone
directory and the 1617,000
telephone data base project,
without Management Board
authority or the feasibility
study required by the
manual.
Gordon Walker paid
1207,000 to Donald R. Martyn
and Associates (untendered)
mainly for politically stage
managing in the opening of
six provincial technology cen-
tres. A total of 8206,000 was
paid to Gwyn P. Williams'
Matrix Communications for
speech writing, an average of
828,000 a.year for three years,
then 1120,207 in 82/83, the year
Williams collaborated on
Walker's book "A Conser-
vative Candidate."
Now Management Board
Chairman George McCague
has declared in his "Wasaga
Beach confession" that the
government will conduct a
review to ascertain who is
ultimately responsible for
safeguarding taxpayer's
money. Such a question from
a Minister of the Crown gives
pause for thought, if not for
panic. Who has been tending
the store until now?
In a recent issue of the
government publication
Topical the Manual of Ad-
ministration was referred to
as "the purple peril", osten-
sibly because it requires
adherence to rules and
regulations. Regardless of the
manual or any new approval
processes which may
emerge, ministries clearly do
not adhere to the discipline of
standardized procedures.
Ways are found to circum-
vent, end -run and. ignore
directions on public spending.
Contracts are split to evade
tendering requirements, are
misclassified to avoid
stringent approval pro-
cedures. Management Board
directives are snubbed and
the Board turns a blind eye to
spending transgressions.
The management of public
funds has become a serious
concern for those who govern
for those who are governed.
Taxpayers apect value for
their money. We uphold the
expectation and intend to pur-
sue these matters in the
public interest.

really getting anxious for
Quebec. our final frontier. So
see you around greater Ex-
eter and hopefully catch you
later.
Day of Prayer at Cromarty
By MRS. ROBERT LAING
Friday afternoon, the ladies
from Hibbert United Church
were guests at Cromarty
Presbyterian Church for the
annual World Day of Prayer
service. This year's program,
prepared by the women of
Sweden, was used by groups
of women the world over as
they met March 2.
Leaders of the service were
Dorothy Miller, Margaret
Christie, Hannah Miller, and
Margaret Daynard.
The story of the woman at
the well in Samaria was
dramatized with Pearl James
as Jesus, Mary Elliott as The
Woman and Ruth Laing as
narrator.
Muriel Scott accompanied
herself on the autoharp as she
sang the Swedish folk song
How Great Thou Art.
Rev. Ray Anderson of Staf-
fa, spoke briefly on life in
Sweden as well as on the
World Day of Prayer theme
for this year, Living Water
from Christ, Our Hope.
He noted that Sweden has a
population of about 8.3
million, and has been at peace
for 170 years. 1t has a socialist
government with good
benefits for workers. paid for
mainly by high taxes.
Speaking on the theme, he
noted the need for the sharing
of good water, whether
natural or spiritual. There is
a feeling of hopelessness in
many parts of the world and
hope for these people must be
found. We must learn to grow
up together or we'll blow up
together.
Others taking part in the
prayer service were Betty
Dow, Verle Mahon, Helen
Fell, Edna Stoneman, Marion
McCaughey, Ada Pethick,
Margaret Miller, Grace
Kerslake, and Roberta
Templeman.
Mary F. Dow was at the
piano for the singing of
several hymns including Lord
Jesus, Friend of Women and
the Swedish folk melody,
