government side of the house.
"I am aware of the local
issues and the local' problems,"
he said, "and T recognize the
difficulties in communicating
these needs to Ottawa through
the Opposition."
Noting improvements he
would strive for locally Thomas
called for planned economic and
industrial' growth in . Huron
County which would include a
connection link with Highway`
401, better • rail services, and
contai.,per facilities at Goderich
harbof� linking the industrial
complexes .to the east of the

to complete an official plan.
Ag noted 'earlier Huron is now
represented by Conservative
member Robert McKinley, in
his second -term. McKinley was
elected in 1968 more than 3,600
votes ahead of his nearest
opponent.
Ed Bain announced through
the Kitchengr Waterloo Record,
earlier this week that he will
also seek election in Huron as
anindependent socialist
candidate. Mr. Bain confirmed
the announcement on Tuesday
and said that he would be

First. A new Group: The Group of
Five (plus two secretaries at
$xx,xxx'per annum) has been set
up by the'ederal Cabinet, not the
Federal Government note. It's
reputed purpose is (1) To identify
crises. (What crises? Famine:
disease: earthquake: flood:.
`volcano: seiche; lightning;
revolution; dam bursts: tornado?)
And (2) To test the ability of the
government to react to them.
Although it is called' -The Crisis
Management Centre" the Group's
responsibility " is, not to he
legislative: rather is it to concern
itself with methods for day to day
management of "all hazards to
life and property.
The Group is to provide planned
and organised responses to
problems that tend to be handled

sociologist and an already partly -

Officer, all unnamed. The Group
has already made one profound
revelation: "That Society. as a•
whole, is a completely new halt'
game". The Group, as a whole. is
trying to maintain in the jargon of

As far as my,reading reacfin Tof the
local press went `(limited to the

gained was that the obsequies
Vouetisated to the Duke were
performed to the point of being
Cold., even, callous. It was.
therefore with much gratification
that the arriving' Englis 'papers
gave the lie direct to this
interpretation. The Tr ping of
