(photo by Jeff Seddon) PC's pick McKinley again BY JEFF SEDDON Robert McKinley was acclaimed Tuesday night to lead the Progressive Conservative cause in Huron -Bruce in the May 22 federal election. About 300 conservative faithful threw their support behind the 50 yetr d Zurich area chicken farmer who has held the riding since 1965. McKinley told his supporters he was relieved the Trudeau government had finally called an election. He said the Liberal gover- nment had cost taxpayers dearly with its massive overspending. He said those costs were more .than just tax dollars pointing out that everything Canadians buy abroad "from holidays to orange juice costs more as our dollar sinks lower and lower". The Tory public works critic said small business and the family farm, the back bone of ridings such as Huron -Bruce, had suffered at the hands of the Liberals. McKinley said government could not afford to ignore the plight of small, independent business in this country nor the needs of She agricultural community. He said Liberal policy threatened the family farm to the point it was in danger of disappearing into the hands of the food industry giants. He promised economic policy aimed at enabling small businesses to grow while taking advantage of manpower resources now in the ranks of the unemployed. He said Canadians had made it obvious it wanted government to con- centrate on the grass roots needs of the country but Trudeau was "too arrogant and too feeble to listen". He said voters had made their "disen- chantment" with government policy known in six bye elections in the country and would do it again in the federal election. He promised "organized and honest government" aimed at rebuilding the economy if a conservative govern- ment was elected. McKinley was sup- ported at the nomination session by three other Conservative members, finance critic Sinclair Stevens of York Simcoe, Dr. Bruce Halliday of Oxford and Bill Jarvis of Perth. Stevens told the gathering "it was a great time to be a Tory". He said the country was going through a trend and that trend "was going our way, running against the emporer, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The finance critic said Trudeau had polarized his political campaign, on national unity and all but ignored major issues such as "rising prices, government spending and deficits and unem- ployment. He said it was time for a responsible approach to do what has to be done to battle in- flation. Stevens told the gathering Canada has the potential to be number one in the economic world but somehow the country is "not functioning properly". He said part of the problems affecting national unity are economic pointing out that in prosperous times when Canadians can enjoy a good style of life many of the problems causing disunity will dissappear. He said a conservative government is eager to begin a five year economic perspective aimed at curbing government spending and establishing a balanced budget. He said a Joe Clark government would establish spending ceilings on government agencies forcing those agencies to priorize spending. Once ...that ceiling is reached cuts would have to be made by those agencies to stay within budget. He explained that the perspective would enable government to take regular looks at gover- nment programs to determine their benefit. He said another program that may save millions of dollars is trimming the civil ser- vice. He said about 25,000 civil servants retire or leave the government annually and a Con- servative government would replace only 5,000 of those. He said if the efficiency of government could be maintained through that reduction it would save taxpayers one half billion dollars an- nually. McKinley will face Liberal candidate Graeme Craig, a Walton area farmer. The New Country Playhouse's talent search still on The talent search goes on for children to play the seven young members of the Trapp family in the Huron Country Playhouse production of The Sound of Music. More than 30 children have now been interviewed and asked to sing. "It is not just a matter of talent," says Murphy, the artistic director, "there are plenty of talented youngsters in the area, but the seven children not only have to be able to sing and act, they must also look like brothers and sisters. Of course, age is a great factor too. The children range in age from five to 16. One additional day of auditions is set for Grand Bend on Saturday, April 21 from 1-5 p.m. at the Grand Bend Public School.
