Valerie Bolton running
NDP candidate
Valerie Bolton, NDP can-
didate in the riding of Huron -
Bruce, was the first off the
campaign blocks for the
federal election to be held
September 4.
Ms. Bolton outlined the ma-
jor issues she will be focuss-
ing in on this campaign at a
news conference held at her
home last Friday.
She listed ''five major
challenges we Canadians can
face" as the most important
issues. She said she will be
speaking forcefully for new
opportunities for a better
future in these five areas:
that Canadians can have a
job, can participate in a fair
tax system, can receive high
quality public services, that
women can receive equality,
and that there is peace and
nuclear disarmament.
The issue of job oppor-
tunities, "must be our govern-
ment's first priority...It's the
work that we do that gives our
lives meaning and purpose,"
she said. She added that the
issue of jobs is most pressing
for young people.
The question isn't getting
work for people but how to
pay them, Ms. Bolton said.
Most people can find work to
keep themselves busy, "but
we are in danger of creating
a society of paid elite."
The NDRI recognizes the
futureimpact of high.
techt%Iogy as it inCreaSes'
productivity and profits while
taking away jobs, she said.
The NDP really cares about
this and advocates policies
such as work -sharing, shorter
work weeks, and oppor-
tunities for earlier
retirement.
Women's issues will be
another important part of Ms.
Bolton's campaign. She cited
statistics which show women

Exeter was disposed of. That

quest of the Crown.

do not now have a chance for
economic equality. For exain-
ple, the average income of a
working woman is half that of
a working man; 60 percent of
Canada's poor are women,
mostly older and single
parents; and women and men
who work in the home have no
economic rights.
Ms. Bolton supports the
principle of equal pay for
work of equal value. She said
she also wants to make child
care accessible and affor-
dable, to have more free ser-
vices available to women,
such as health and other
special services for the.needs
of rural women.
She also supports the prin-
ciple of affirmative action
quotas, calling for equal
numbers of men and women
in higher levels of respon-
sibility usually dominated by
men. "It's only the NDP that
has really given this exam-
ple," she said. She referred to
an NDP resolution passed at
their conference last year
which called for women to

Ms. Bolton outlined t
NDP policies on nucle
disarmament which made
another part of her campai
speech. She addressed t
"despair and hopelessness w
feel about the threat
nuclear war."

weapons -free zone. They als
support a no first -use pledg
comprehensive ban o
nuclear weapons, and an en

Canada.
On the issue of taxes, Ms
Bolton said the tax system i
unfair toward individuals an
small businesses and benefi
corporations. She said th
NDP raises campaign fund
strictly from individuals an
individuals through labo
unions, and does not accep
the contributions from larg
corporations which fun
much of the Liberal and Con
servative campaigns. "Tha
reflects who we'll be respon
sible to if elected."
She said the NDP will mak
tax breaks to corporations on
ly on the condition that the
provide programs of job crea
tioir worker retraining, and
other employee services.
Public services is the other
issue in Ms. Bolton list of five
major issues. She listed NDP
goals of establishing pensions
for all Canadians as a right,
new health care initiatives.
financial aid to part-time
students, most of whom are
women, ensured clean-up of
toxic waste sites, en-
vironmental impact studies,
and investigation into
pesticide use. "The NDP has
been a voice for these
services."
All these issues are as im-
portant on the national level
as on the local level here in
Huron -Bruce, said Ms.
Bolton. The economy is a
prime -concern for farmers,
and she said it is necessary to
stabilize low interest rates to
prevent them from rising.
"We need to provide farmers
and small businesses with ac-
cess to low cost loans."
Jobs is also the major issue
for Huron -Bruce, she said, in
particular the opportunity to
maintain jobs on the family
farm. She said that although
farmers are not the only peo-
ple in the riding, the return
and wealth on farms is
related to the health of the
whole community.
Ms. Bolton said she chose to
run as a candidate for the
NDP because she felt the Par-
ty combined strong policies
with creative ideas and strong
leadership. "The NDP will
create opportunities for or-
dinary men and women," she
said, including opportunities
for job equality, equality for
women, and for peace and
nuclear disarmament.
She said her major goal in
this election is to get people to
participate in the political
process. Politics, she said.

politics means not being in-

No surprlsos • Cardiff gets PC nominatiPo
on
Murray Cardiff, member of
parliament of Huron -Bruce
for the last four years, was
acclaimed as Progressive
Conservative candidate for
the riding.
Over 250 people attended
the nomination meeting in
Brussels Monday night, most
of them anticipating no sur-
prises. And there weren't any
as local delegates went
through the motions of
renominating the Grey
Township farmer.
"I'm pleased with all the
support," said Cardiff. "The
September 4 election in this
riding should be as good as
ever."
"A lot of water has gone
under the bridge in the four
and a half years since I was
first nominated. I look for-
ward to keeping this riding in
the PC fold," he said.
In his list of priorities for
the PC election platform, Car-
diff stressed fostering good
east -west relations. But the
main issue, he said, was jobs
I for 1,362,000 unemployed
Canadians of which 500,000
are young people.
Staffa man
is injured
A Staffa man is listed in fair
condition in Victoria Hospital
in London as a result of a
single car accident on the 10
sideroad in Hibbert Township
at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Kenneth Upshall, 23, of RR
2 Staffa was riding in the car,
driven by 18 -year-old Joel Hill
of 360 Main Street, Exeter,
when the car rolled over,
resulting in his injuries.
Neither Hill or a second
passenger, Bob
VanVelkengoed of RR 2
Seaforth were injured in the
accident.
After an investigation by
Sebringville OPP, Hill was
charged with careless driving
and failing to remain at the
scene of an accident.

"Our party has developed
proposals to create employ-
ment. We agree there should
be equal pay for work of equal
value. That's what we're
committed to."
Citing statistics from the
mid 1970s to '83, small
business has generated about
50 percent of new jobs, said
Cardiff. "But small business
is threatened with red tape
and are being intimidated by
high taxes.
"We have to defang
Revenue Canada and put
them back in line. The Cana-
dian government has become
such a huge borrower that
small business and Canadian
people have to compete
against government.
Farms are backbone
"I also believe that preser-
vation of the family farm is
important because it's the
backbone of the country.
Government has a respon-
sibility to provide long-term
credit to agriculture. We have
to provide equitable financing
for agriculture to be viable.
This will put farmers in a bet-
ter position.
Under a Progressive Con-
servative government, the
red meat plan would be im-
plemented quickly, he said.
Another agricultural issue is
the preservation of farmland
and water. "We have to pro-
tect the Great Lakes. Many .
people in Huron and Bruce
counties are dedicated to
preservation - we're commit-
ted as a party."
Having partic' paced in
world trade missions during
his term in office, Cardiff said
Canadians can trade because
the markets are there. In one
of his trade missions, he said
sales of over $200 million were
made in three weeks.
"For every $1 billion in ex-
ports, we create 17,000 new
jobs - we know the impor-
tance of trade. Trade means
revenue for Canada and most
of all, it means jobs."
Locally, expansion of the
Goderich harbor is important
for his riding, said Cardiff.
"The expansion is a project
that should be funded. And it
might happen this summer.
It's a high prix rity on my list
because it will create jobs and
help the agricultural
community."
Health care and suitable
housing for senior citizens,
who make up 20 percent of the
population of his riding were
concerns of Cardiff. And the
issue of peace was another of
his concerns. "We have to
find a way to solve problems
- to secure peaceful security
throughout the world. We
must keep everyone working
together."
"We have a .job to do on
September 4 and I want a
mandate tago back to work,"
said Cardiff.

Participants are given an

The three surveyors report
that most people .they have

PC for Wellington-Dufferin-
Simcoe.
"This election is the most
important one for Canada,"
he said. The Liberal leader-
ship convention was like the
Let's make a deal show.
I get the impression that
Mr. Turner is leading us back
to the 1960s. The Liberals
aren't the people who can
give fresh direction. The
plight of family farms con-
tinues to grow. And the
government says it has the
right to go back to office. But
if that happens, we can expect
the mistakes they made in the
last 21 years to continue,"
said Beatty.
He said $1 of every $3 made
by Canadians is required to
pay the interest on the na-
tional debt. "It has doubled in
four years."
"Canada needs a new team
and new faces. It's time to
swing the power from Ottawa
to the ordinary people. A
government in power too long
feels it can govern because it
has the divine right. It's time
for a change."
Beatty headed the PC task
force which held hearings
across Canada concerning
problems Canadians faced
with Revenue Canada. The
task force has come up with
76 recommendations none of
which have been accepted by
the government said Beatty.
"It's time for a taxpayers
bill of right; to upgrade the
revenue department and
scrap the quota system. Our
recommendations are
workable. Canadians have a
choice. They can have the old
ways back again or can elect
a new administration that's
more fair and accountable."
TWO BREAKINS
Exeter OPP were advised
of two breakins over the
weekend.
Thieves caused minor
damage and made off with a
small amount of change after
breaking into the fire hall at
the Stephen Township offices
at Crediton.
Entry was attempted at`the
ODC offices in Huron Park,
but apparently the would-be
thieves were frightened off
when they set off a burglar
alarm.
