Instead of going to a store or cupboard for materials,. this time step outdoors to find the ingredients for a distinctive decoration. A pleasing shape of wood such as a gnarled piece of root, burl, broken branch, or driftwood, will make an ideal base. Then, if you're at the beach or on a country walk, hunt for interesting shaped pebbles suitable for painting. Flat, oval ones are especially easy to work with and make excel- lent owls. By decorating such a stone with eyes, nose and mouth, it can turn into an ap- pealing little creature - Little acorn caps, which some people like to call "fairy cups,"make ideal holders and may be available in your particular neighborhood. If not, half a hazel nut or walnut shell will do. Fill such a tiny container with miniature straw flowers which are inex- pensive, colorful and easy to buy. Any artificial flowers will do if they are small enough. Dried weeds and grasses found on a nature walk are excellent. • If you visit some of the mod- ern boutiques, craft stores or decorator shops, you will see • how many display three-di- mensional art pieces which are made from natural mate- rials Imaginative use of 'very basic ingredients results . in pleasing sculptures. Test your imagination as well as your eyesight next time you are outdoors. What can youa with eucalyptus buttons, pine cones, sea shells or other , similar .materials that may be found in the re- gion? Add a few feathers, .if you can find them, or large, dried seed pods. Stalks and twigs can be found in all sorts of intriguing shapes to spark ideas. Another possibility is to use one large flat stone for a base. Then, select smaller rocks and pebbles and with white glue, arrange and fix them in.- to n..to place after you have painted faces on one or two key ones.

JOAN RANKIN, NDP-... "we want to create a land bank f buy farms at the market price` as, they come up and then be able to loan or rent these farms to young farmers who would have a guaranteed tenure of the farms and an option to buy if they wished." Rankin Continued from page 1) Rankin, "But, we can see that resources and goods we so ably produce in this country are sold to the consumer at prices related to the cost of production, plus a fair profit." The NDP claims that a two price system with export controls such as the nnes used nn wheat and oil is applicable to more items. Once the first two elements of the policy are instituted, the party would then bring in a • national prices control board that would question price increases and roll them back where they could not be justified. Mrs. Rankin says the policies might mean stepping on"the toes of corporate giants", but adds that if Canadians want their government to do something about the cost of living, "the corporations must be made to roll back their incredibly high profits." The N.D.P. candidate says the cornerstone of her party's tax policy is "a system of tax credits which would • be of immediate help to Canadians." The, tax cut . for indivival Canadians would cost, in 1974, approximately 1.5 billion dollars., \Mrs. Rankin says this could be covered "almost entirely' by• the loss to the federal treasury caused by the new tart.' con- cessions granted corporations last July by the Liberals and the Conservatives against N.D.P. opposition:" • The party is also committed to a basic old age pension of $200 per. monthand would progressively lower the pensionable age to 60 over a five year period. Mrs. Rankin outlines the. party's 6 per cent housing mortgage proposal. "The banks, the mortgage companies and loan companies can well afford to set aside a relatively small. portion of the funds they have available for lending to provide 6 per cent housing mortgages. Couple this with an end to land speculation through' publicly owned land banks of,all available land for housing and we would have, in Canada, an end to the scandalouscost of housing." • Mrs. Rankin says there has been some reluctance among small businessmen to support her party, even though they may agree with its social policies, because they might feel its economic policies are directed against them as well as the large corporations. She emphasizes that this is not the case and that her party "would encourage the development of the small business sector in this country which has suffered at the hands of the Tory and Liberal govern- ments of the past." She said the government to date has done nothing to help the small businesses establish credit needed in order to keep operating from month to month. The money available to small business under the industrial development bank and the Small Loans Act has steadily declined, she says, reinforcing her statement with the fact that, 1964, 0.49 per cent of all loans were made to small business and by 1973, this had declined to.0.38 per cent. Banks, insurance companies and trust companies have been given the virtually unlimited right, she says, "to decide how to dispense the savings of the people of Canada which are deposited with them for re -investment." Mrs. Rankin points out that decisions_. regarding who should be able to borrow money are not made on the basis of social need, but on the basis of "what is most profitable for the lenders." She concludes, "In that kind of situation, it is not surprising that the bulk of money lent goes to the largest and most profitable corporations in this country, manyowned.. of which are foreign " BILL JARVIS,' 1".C. "t,;p until now, bow can the government convince the people it is .serious about fighting iflationk when It is spending between 20 and 30 per cent more each year itself?" Jarvis (Continued -from page 1) tree's "posse" is "about the biggest million dollar -waste we've had • in 1973-74. The Conservative candidate said there were some points on Finance Minister John Turner's budget that were "excellent"• but could have been developectsmore. For example, the removal of sales tax do children's clothing. He says, "What is the sense 'of • taking" it off children's clothing and not off clothing, period? It was so hard to' administer. A small adult wears children's clothing for example and a large child wears adult clothing. It would have created: chaos in the industry,. If it's good to remove it ' from chldren's clothing, then it is good to remove it from clothing completely." ' : Mr. -Jarvis also' gives the budget a .paton ,the back for its proposal to provide incentive to accumulate enough money to buy a home. "I though that made a lot ' of sense. We thought it was very imaginative and we said so quite frankly." Why, then, did the Con- servatives vote the budget down?' "Because we. told the Liberals in February of this year --If you: bring in a tough anti-inflationary " budget, a Minced budget, then, we will support you.", when the budget cattle in, it showed an increase In govern- ri ent spending of 21 per Ohtani', says Mr. Jarvis, "That sure is not anti-inflationary." The ° seond reason his , party vetoes the budget, says Mr. Jarvis is, because, "Parliament stopped working effectively. I thought, for the first thirteen months, we worked quite well and got a lot of very good legislation through." The best example he can give of parliament not ' working is "w n there were three major stri s; AO- Canada, the -seaway was losed down and the post office as threatening to go out and the very same week the Bank of Canada raised its interest rate one full per cent." During that period the Liberals brought in a bill dealing with the Toronto football team and, in Mr. 'Jarvis' opinion, "That was 'just Mickey Mouse legislation and - —parliament wasn't working." Mr. Jarvis said the Con- servatives will not announce who will be affected most in a negative way by the flexible controls following the freeze. "All we'll say is that it will be fair, equittable and necessary." Mr. Jarvis said the •campaign conducted by. Prime Minister Trudeau has been "a bitter attack on ,Stanfield on the one hand, which makes me feel good because they are attacking us as if we were the government." "That makes me feel that they must be fairly concerned about what their polls are showing." he says. Another aspect of Mr. Tru- deau's campaign, cites Mr. Jarvis, is "a continuation of the give-away program." t He adds that, in an inflationary period, "I don't think the people in this riding have got their hands out Jor government grants or government giveaways." „He said government iifcentives would be "a far different thing". Mr, Jarvis said the people would respond to incentives, but could not approve of giveaways in inflationary times.

A homeowner can visit the local registry office to check on selling prices of similar homes.
