Non-farm people will no
doubt think that the budget is
unfair, but considering the
flood of farm people to the
cities to share in the higherin-
comes, they must realize that
some program was necessary to
keep the farm units viable,
being that farmers provide that
first necessity, food.
It is not all roses for the far-
mers however, as they now will
pay tax on fuels used in their
farming operations. This, in ef-
fect, represents a 40 percent in-
crease in their fuel bill, and
fuel is a major expense item in
their business.
There is no doubt that some
segments of society . will gain
more than others, but it ,boils
down to the fact° that. an in-
crease in sales tax affects all
people, and that such increases
are regressive, inflationary, and'
unnecessary.

Unnecessary, in that the
Government really can not ac-
count for the large deficit in
the first place, and in the
second place, the anticipated
higher revenue generated by
continuing economic growth
should be able to provide the
money the province needs.
The Liberal Party of Ontario
held their annual convention at
the Chateau Laurier Hotel in
Ottawa ,over the weekend with
,approximately 1,500 people
representing rill areas of On-
tario in attendance.
There was more enthusiasm
shown at this convention than
there has 'been for some time,
and the numbers of young
people taking an interest and
active part was overwhelming.
Robert Nixon, leader of the
Liberal Party it) Ontario, never
looked better and the decision
he now has to make regarding
the leadership is a tough one
considering he received
unanimous support from the
Convention to continue in his
present capacity.
A pee -wee hockey tour•

Students from Queen Elizabeth Sctlool in Goderich enjoyed
a special outing on Tuesday morning when, through the
courtesy of John Hindmarsh, they went for a hayrido along
the roads and fields near Bluewater Beach. The students
have gone on an annual winter slelghride In the past but due
" to a shortage of snow during the 1972-73 winter the ride was
cancelled. The hayride replaced it.(staff photo)

Approval of three new camp-,
sites in Goderich Township
depends on approval from the
Huron County Board of
Health, the township council
decided at their regular
meeting last Monday night.
in all, about 250 units for
trailers and camp sites, are IIn-
volvad but because of strict
laws pertaining to adequate
water supply and sewage treat-
ment, council decided not to
issue any building permits for
the sites until the Huron
County Health Unit inspected
plans and approved thein.
Ron Samways, owner of t he
Hayfield Golf Course, wants to
establish a 96 unit north of the
golf course on Highway 21. He
had asked for three building
permits, tw•o for the campsite
and one for renovations to the
clubhouse. Council approved'
the renovation permit but
tabled the other two. ' Some
councillors were altii) concerned
that the campsite was too close
to the highway and child're'n of
campers might become in-
yolved in traffic accidents.

Council received a protest
about the KOA proposal from
John Maaskant, who farms in
Colborne Township, directly
across from the proposed site.
He told Goderich Township
Council that he was heavily in-
volved in hog and poultry far-
ming and used a liquid manure
system that sometimes got. a lit-
tle "high". Mr. Maaskant said
that he had been farming there

cusation. Council members
'naturally expect criticism and
possibly somebody's
dissatisfaction in . practically
every major matter they han-
dle, that is part of the work and
can be ,,constructive, but I
strongly object to loose ac7
cusations of taking part in
"illegal" activity in the middle
of a situation which has not
even been finalized.
As to being "just", only un-
der the Drainage Act are the
developers going to pay their
fair share of the substantial
cost, whereas under the general
levy they would be subsidized
by townspeople, in one case
alone to the tune of an amount
in the neighho.,t,rrhood of
$100,000. - We do not hear the
developers complain, as- they
can look at the situation
realistically and get, their
money hack in the increased
value of their land. Usually
Councils are accused of
favouring developers. Mr
Wightman seems to he willing
to say anything which in hey
opinion might forte the Council
to do exactly that. i do not feel
that Mr. Wightman speaks as n
friend of Goderich people in
general.
