Miller has reputation for growin1, into job
LUCAN-Innagrne if you can, a roomful of
500 people struggling valiantly to sing,
"come with me, vote PC" to the tune of the
„Happy Wanderer". That was the scene
April 9 as Miller's Ontario came to Lucan.
Premier Frank Miller was introduced by
the Honourable William A. Stewart, who
said Miller has "a reputation for growing in-
to the job". Stewart was formerly the Pro-
vincial Minister for Agriculture and Food.
Miller began by saying "like Tommy
`Backer, I've got to sing for my supper"
(commenting on the speech being held
before dinner), and then went on to call
April 9"the first real day of my campaign".
tIbeen a pleasuredto o egrtlowo crowds,
tugh On-
ailsrio , speaking always
all day" .
About the local candidate, Bryan Smith,
Miller said Lucan residents should get
together and "give an unemployed cookie
salesman a job".
About Smith's main competition, Liberal
candidate MPP Jack Riddell, Miller said he
didn't like to knock other members, but
"this is Conservative country, and Huron -
Middlesex voters should make sure Bryan is
there".
Miller then said "the issue that really
counts is jobs". "The challenge we face is to
give each person of working age a job". To
do that, Miller said we need a healthy farm
sector, a strong auto industry, and a vibrant
small business community.
The answers to all this, according to
Miller, are contained in his party's pro-
gram, Enterprise Ontario. "We want to tell
small businesses, you don't have to pay cor-
porate tax, as long as you invest the money
in your company".
Miller feels that companies will use this
money, which has no strings attached, to
create jobs.
"We're building on the strengths of On-
tario," Miller said. He added that the policy
has already been tried. When I was
treasurer, I took the tax off small businesses
for two years, (in 1982 and 1983) and more
than 30,000 companies created more jobs
because the tax was off."
Miller's other program, the Enterprise
Well known Clinton News -Record columnist aiid feature writer, Steve Cooke of Clinton
recently earned national honors for a feature report he prepared for the News -Record on
his Arctic ventures. The stories earned the runner-up award in the prestigious Canadian
National Sportsman Show writing awards competition. More than 30 entries were judged
in the Canada -wide competition.
Technology Fund, "is not a campaign pro-
mise but a fact." He expects to make "hun-
dreds of jobs more competitive" with the
fund.
The NDP, says Miller, has another agen-
da. "It's still their policy to nationalize key
industries, although th don't talk about it
much." The Liberals, Pier says, "have
had 20 years of practice at the federal level
that has made them the masters of perverse
complexity." Miller was referring to Peter-
son's plan to subsidize small business, but
only after they've done the hiring, not
before.
Bryan Smith spoke briefly. Smith said he
has a fine team, and with their help, the job
of electing him will .be done. "We'll get
Huron -Middlesex back where it belongs, in
Conservative hands." Smith then asked
Miller to "save me a seat, because I'll be
there".
At the close of the speeches, Miller was
presented with a large can of Ontario maple
syrup. He accepted it saying, "It's like an
election campaign, a little sweetener
helps."

Canadian Legion is lamest service organization
6 ,
By Al Welch
CLINTON-From humble beginnings in,
Winnipeg during the . aftermath of World
War I, the Royal Canadian Legion has
grown into Canada's largest service
organization with 600,000 Members and af-
filiates in more than 1600 branches across
Canada.
Its influence in the daily life of several
hundred small'rliral communities, however,
is immeasurably greater than the statistics
indicate. For these townships and villages.
the Legion has' become the focal point of
community life, both socially and through a
wide ranging series of social -service pro:
grams it provides for individuals and coni-,
munities in need.
The Legion was founded in 1926 as an.
amalgam of existing veteran's organiza-
tions. It was originally designed to help
veteran's of the South African War and
World War I re -adjust to civilian life at a
time wheh rampant Inflation, high
unemployment and economic depression
had conspired to make Canada a
dramatically changed society from the one
they had left. Its purpose was to ensure that
the veterans and their dependents received
fair pensions, disability allowances and ade-
quate medical and rehabilitation treatment.
The Legion still expresses its original
values of patriotism, loyalty, self-help and
remembrance, and focuses its energies on
the welfare of Canada's veterans. But its ac-
tivities in the community have extended
much further. In 1984, the Legion • con-
tributed almost $30 -million and thousands of
hours of veteran time in the implementation
of -its service programs and activities.
In smaller conununi,ties, the Legion°
assumes •thefunctions handled'by other ser-
vice organizations in larger centres. It hosts
blood -donor clinics, establishes eye banks,
runs Big Brother Programs, provides
emergency -housing units, maintains drop-in
centres, day `care units and Kindergartens.
It administers low -rental housing projects
for the needy and contributes generously to
schools and homes for handicapped
children. It provides funds for medical
research, bursaries for students, develops
young athletes through its sports training
program and• is one of Canada's largest sup-
porters of Scouts, Guides and Cadets.
The membership profile of the Legion has
also changed over the years. Today's Legion
is no longer primarily British, male
dominated organization. It cuts across age,
sex, language and class boundaries. A new
generation of leaders is emerging from the
160,000 -strong segment of the Legion
membership, known as the "Sons and

It is from this filial body of younger
members that the Royal Canadian Legion
will draw its leaders, for the continuation of
its public-service programs and for
upholding the Legion's principles of
patriotism, duty, individual freedom and
community service:
The Diarfond Jubilee Year is a milestone
in the history of the organization as it for-
mally marks the start of the process of han-
ding on the responsibility of running the
Legion to the Sons and Daughters.
