This concept is that agricul- ture can be rolled back but resi- dential development can't. When a farm group stated that agricul- tural expansion on some of the best farmland in Canada, the land west of Highway 21, north of Goderich, would be severely cur- tailed if recreational develop- ment is allowed, the planner stated that it was curtailed al- ready, because residences have been built previously too close to livestock buildings. In the plan- ner's view this means that a wedge is in and the developers can go ahead and gobble up all of That we won't be able to teed the people who live in those houses in the next generation, if they sit right on top of our bread basket, is apparently not ,thought of. It is about time thatnail-farm consumers join the farmer in the fight for preserving our food - producing land, for their children will be the ones to be hurt first.

She says she has noticed an increased support for her party in this campaign. Even if she doesn't win this campaign it won't matter too much because she is trying to build a solid support for the NDP in this riding. At that Mrs. Weary feels she is being successful. (Photo by Jackson) LIBERAL CANDIDATE for Huron -Middlesex, John Lyndon, tries out a ham radio rig belonging to Wilf Reinhart during a radio competition. Mr. Lyndon said that figures lice those recently released by Statistics Canada stating that corporate profits went almost twice as high as inflation would seemingly justify must be carefully considered because •percentages rather than actual dollar figures can be misleading.

Weary (Continued from page 1) tating this election, that is if you chose to forget that the party.did so by voting against a "very sad budget". What puzzled Mrs. Weary was why the Conserva- tives voted against the budget. After all, she said, it is just the kind of .'budget they would bring down. Turning to the plight of farmers in this country, the NDP candi- date declared that her party would make the present .market- ing boards in the country more democratic and allow greater participation •by farmers. She suggested that while farmers do sit on the boards now, they are chosen in very peculiar ways. When asked if she thought that farmers on such boards might be there for political rather than economic reasons . she simply smiled and declined comment. Lawn sweeper , Wx g Lyndon (Continued from page 1) news for farmers. He is in favor of supplements that would bring the farmer's income in line with that of the urban worker. Government aid is necessary in his view because the cost of pro- duction on the farm is outstrip- ping the farmer's income in- creases. The farmer, in the candidate's opinion, must be pro- tected and urged to produce. Commenting on a local issue, Mr. Lyndon says a Liberal government would• set up a trans- portation commission which would look into the possibility of establishing rail or bus lines which ,would adequately service such areas as Huron -Middlesex. Such service would have to be convenient, as compared to the almost three-day round trip bus service to such areas as Toronto that exists now, and would have to be of a high standard. To pay for such a plum the candidate could foresee the Liberals taxing corporations "in a round -about way." Mr. Lyndon was unwilling to predict who would win this riding but did say that in the face of the strong support for Conservative Bob McKinley, he is encouraged by the Liberal support making it- self increasingly evident.

Old wrecks with rectified rectums? Well in my town they do, and the police don't seem to bother them although I should think that quite apart from whether or not they are violating the traffic laws, they must at least be , guilty of dis- turbing the peace. Seems to me too that even if these lads stay within the speed . limits with these racket -makers, the very fact that they are ob- viously out to put on a devil-may- care spectacle of their driving, is in itself a pretty sure indication that they haven't yet realited they are not piloting a bunch of jolly toys, but that they are playing with the most awesomely deadly creature that man has, ever created.

He says that he was very much impressed by . that piece entitled "HQw Long Does it Take to Die?" which I gave you a few months ago, and he wonders if he could have it again. Well here is that terribly ac- curate story, based on U.S. government studies, of what happens to you and your car when you crash into a tree at 55 miles per hour - which, as you know, is considerably less than the speed limit on our highways. At one tenth of a second the front bumper and grille of your car collapses. Slivers of steel penetrate the tree to a depth of one and a. half inches. At two-tenths of a second the hood flies up, crumples and smashes into the windshield. The wildly spinning rear wheels leave the ground. The fenders come into contact with the tree, forcing rear parts of the car out over the front door. You yourself continue to move forward at 55 miles per hour. Your legs, ramrod straight, snap at the knees. At three -tenths of a second your body is off the seat, torso upright, broken knees pressing against the dashboard. The frame of the steering wheel begins to bend under your grip. Your head is now near the sunvisor, your chest above the steering column. column. At five -tenths of a second your fear -frozen hands bend the steering wheel column into an almost vertical position. Your forward speed is an incredible 20 times the normal force of gravity. It impales you on the steering shaft. Jagged steel punctures your lungs and inter- costal arteries. At six -tenths of a second your feet are ripped from your shoes. The brake pedal shears off at the floorboard. The chassis of the car bends at the middle, sheering the body bolts. Your head smashes into the windshield. The rear of the car begins its downward fall, the spinning wheels digging into the ground to add more forward push. At seven -tenths of a second the entire, writhing body of the car is forced out of shape. Hinges tear, doors spring open. In one final convulsion, the front seat rams forward, pinning you. Shock has frozen your heart. You are now dead. The time it took to die? Less than one second. Think about it.
