WE WELCOME LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Brussels people hear BY DEBBIE RANNEY "Canada is the greatest country in the world and the Liberals have nothing to be ashamed about because they had the most to do with making it what it is," Federal Agricultural Minister Eugene Whelan told an enthusiastic audience in Brussels Wednesday night. He was speaking at a dinner meeting in the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre in support of Huron - Bruce Liberal candidate Graeme Craig. Huron Warden John Tinney brought official greetings from the county to the audience of nearly 400 that crowded the large hall. Reviewing what had been accomplished by Ministry of Agriculture and what the Liberal party had accomplished for Canada, Mr. Whelan said that during last year alone about 400,000 new jobs had been created in Canada. He compared that with Germany, where jobs created were down by 61 per cent from the previous year he said. He said that some people who talked to him about the economy told him that the trouble in Canada was that the number of social services were too great. He said that he could remember a time when you didn't dare get sick and you didn't dare go to the hospital because you couldn't afford to pay for it, "but now you're not scared because you've got social services," he said. Referring to that "big giant to the south of us" the minister asked "Do they have social services compared with ours? You know how they fear to get sick. It would be cheaper to die," he said. , Mr. When reminded the audit tce of the compani-H-' that were investin "~; anada like Ford MotorT United Co- op, and ,the ,Thompson and Weston groups. He quoted Lord Thompson as ATTENTION FARMERS FLAX WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FLAX AS A CASH CROP IN 1979 1. Flax seed varieties now available produce greater yields than in the past. 2.

Canadians are the best housed, the best educated, have the best food, have the best television in the world and are the best travelled, he said. The agricultural minister said he bragged about how efficient Canadian farm production was and said that across Canada the average Canadian far- mer produced goods worth $2000 more than the average American farmer. He spoke of farmers as being the best off in the world and the most productive and "I'm not scared to defend that anywhere with anyone, anytime," he said. An indicator of farm economy is that young people were returning to farming, he said and added that for every farmer who wants to retire, three more are waiting to take his place. "Marketing boards are the one thing that stays below Canada's anti- inflation guidelines and they say marketing boards create inef- ficiency," he said. "As your Minister of Agriculture, when I go to meetings in other countries what do they want to find out? How our farmers are so produc- tive. They just don't understand how we're so productive here." "We don't pay farmers for doing nothing in Canada. They must produce and they are producing," he said. Liberal candidate Graeme Craig told 'the meeting that despite criticism of the economy the fact was that Canadians still had 37 per cent disposable income compared with a 24 per cent disposable income in the United States. He described Canada as having one of the most successful economies in the world and said that the Liberal government had created 429,000 jobs in the last 12 months. Surveys indicated that 86 per cent of the people were now satisfied with their housing' and that that figure was only 60 per cent when the present government was first Hensall business change Hardware, increasing their buying power as there were about 80 Crest stores in Ontario. About 1970 another change was made to Home Hard- ware. This chain then owned about 1,500 stores across the country, so buying power was again increased. The last change was in 1974 when the appliance department was moved across the road. Bob and Jack Drysdale are not retiring. They are retaining the appliance business complete with the serviceman Jerry Houston at the former Don Joynt's store on the north side of King Street.,;, Good wishes go to oult ,' new Home Hardware managers and the smaller business for the Drysdale brothers. Last weekend saw the handing over of one of the longest family businesses in Hensall, when Lester and Evelyn Brubacher and Bill and Linda Smith, all of Monkton, took over the Drysdale's Home Hardware. Drysdales was founded in 1911 by the late Mark Drysdale in partnership with Bonthron's furniture store and funeral director. In 1946, the partners decided to separate, Drysdales keeping the hardware store and Bonthrons the furniture store. At that time, most of . the products were sold in bull,;,.—now ada. , v'most products a 'e fri"4 blister packs. In 1963, Drysdale's Hardware became Crest re elected. The Liberal candidate emphasized that 71 per cent of what the government takes in is already committed to the provinces and in- dividuals for such ex- penditures as pensions. The federal government has only 29 per cent left with which to carry on the business of Canada. Crawford Douglas, M.P. for Grey -Bruce told the meeting, "Never before have we had an election as important as this one to you in Canada. It's people like you who are going to decide the future for Canada. To see that future comes about we need a man like Graeme Craig on our team," he said. Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron Bruce in- troduced Graeme Craig and Herb Kuntz, president of the Huron Bruce Liberal Association thanked the speakers. Jack Riddell Huron Middlesex, M.P.P. said that if the Liberal government was not kept in power the country would lose agriculture minister Eugene Whelan whom be described as being "one of the greatest defenders of agriculture that we've ever had in Ottawa." He said they had to get across to the consumer the fact that we Canadians are enjoying quality food at most reasonable prices, and that it was because of Eugene Whelan that Canadians were enjoying these benefits.
