CPS• prepares plans for,
constructing modern farm
buildings, livestock housing
systems, storages and
equipment. All necessary

specified on the plans which
are available free of charge
to farmers, contractors and.
others who wish to use the

departments across Canada.
Mr. Arnold says the plans
are designed .in accordance
with the Canadian Code for
Farm Buildings and meet the
standards of the Ontario

Plans are continually
updated to incorporate
changes in design codes and
improvements in materials.
An average of 22,000

The most important
time of all to save
electricity.
The demand for elec-
tricity in Ontario reaches
its peak early in the evening
on cold winter weekdays.
Between 4'and 7,
everyone's asking for elec-
tricity. Many factories, stores
-and offices are still open.
Street lights aro on.The kids
are home from school, parents
home from work, evening
meals are being prepared. And
the heating system has to
work harder. It all adds up.
Demands for electric-
ity have been increasing at a
pace that can no longer be
met. The rate of growth must
be reduced..
You can help by avoid-
ing the big jobs like baking,
washing and drying between
4 and 7. Make sure that unused
lights, TVs.and appliances are
off. Take it easy on the hot

The assembly cheered as
Mr. Buchanan, ,VIP for
Lond.on West, told- the
meeting that Prime Minister
Pierre Elliott Trudeau was
still the best man for Canada
at this particular time. His
5ttatement came in answer to
a question from the floor
Concerning whether or not the
Liberal Party would be
revitalized if the PM stepped
down. .
"I do not see anyone in the
horizon who can do a better
job than the present Prime
Minister," Mr. Buchanan told
his audience. •"I don't foresee
him stepping down. 1 don't
think it would be beneficial
for Canada and expect Mr.
Trudeau will be the leader
again for the next election,"
The minister said the prime
minister had been "most
reluctant" to impost the Anti-
Inflaction Board controls. 'He
said Trudeau had predicted
that at first there would be
"elation" in Canada at the
controls, but warned that as
the controls took effect aryl
people began to "feel the
pinch", there would be an
"erosion" of public support
for the government.
"It has happened as he said
it would," Mr. Buchanan
said, indicating that the_
Liberal popularity is falling
off according to the polls.
"But they (polls) can
change quickly." Mr.
Buchanan, said, referring to
the recent election in the
United States. "I am op-
timistic there is ample time
to turn this around with good
work and solid activity."
Vie Minister said the
controls 'imposed by gover-
nment to check inflation are
mostly to blame for the drop
in popularity for the Liberals,,
"even though the controls are
working".
"People resent them and
the restrictions that govern
them, stated Mr, Buchanan.
QUEBEC
WON'T SEPARATE
Turning to the election in
Quebec, Mr. Buchanan said
the results of that election
"may have indeed done us a
favor".
"It has sounded a long,
clear warnipg" bell," the
Minister said. He predicted
that the people of Quebec will
not vote to separate from
Canada.
"Only a noisy seven per-
cent is. in favor of
separation," Mr. Buchanan
told the meeting. "The polling
booth la a quiet place."
'He sid much of the unrest
in Quebec was due to the fact
that French-speaking
Canadians did not feel at
home in Canada, even' in
Ottawa. He said the .hi-
cultural, bi-lingual emphasis
of the Trudeau government
will greatly enrich the life of
all Canadians.
"We need more sharing of
good ideas in the next 20
months or so," the speaker
told his audience. "There is
no simple solution to our
problems. It will take careful
reasoning and a great deal of
tolerance."
The Way Ahead,' a
government working paper,
is an attempt to get the advice
and input of the Canadian
electorate.
"We have an informed,
articulate electorate," Mr.
Buchanan said. "The
government wants to know
what the electorate is
thinking and feeling."
In response to questions
from the floor, Mr. Buchanan
told the meeting that in his
opinion, government controls
would he lifted "gradually".
When asked to explain, Mr.
Buchanan said this would he
accomplished possibly
through increasing the size of
companies under the
regulations; confining the
controls to those sectors of
_he country where inflation is
generating the greatest,
impact; and moving the
controls out of the private
sector into the public sector...

ONTARIO ELECTION
