Ms. Bolton is the New Democratic Party's candidate in the federal riding of Huron -Bruce for the Sept. 4 federal election. A part-time employee of Women Today, Ms. Bolton is also a researcher for a con- ference called Turning Point. She is also writing a booklet on rural women's groups in Ontario. She and her husband,` farmer and bricklayer Dean Walker, have alarm at RR 1, Belgrave where they raise their two daughters, Monica, 7, and Amber, 4. `Not an Ontario native, Ms. Bolton was raised in Vancouver. She moved to Ontario 10 years ago after traveling and working m Australia for a year and a half. ISSUES The NDP candidate said the only way to resolve the federal deficit in the long run is to make a commitment to provide jobs. NDP leader Ed Broadbent, said Ms. Bolton, has said that all that party's proposed pro- gram would cost $1 billion. Most of that money, said the Huron -Bruce candidate would be to put people back to work. Putting the federal economics question in perspective with the local economy, Ms. Bolton said if farmers received a "fair return" on their labor, there wouldn't be the financial crisis there is across the country. Some methods of solving the farmers economic woes, said :Ms. Bolton, are to create a central selling agency for red meat and to ensure farmers greater access to lower cost loans. The candidate said Canada needs a government that is sensitive to the economic conditions of farmers. However, she stresses that not only farmers, but small business people should have the same access to lower cost loans as do the large corporations. Valerie Bolton The NDP, said the Huron -Bruce can- didate, would also "restrict the powers of the bank to force farmers out of business". Ms. Bolton becomes impassioned when speaking on women's issues. "The New Democrats will ensure an ac- tive and systematic enforcement of equal pay for work of equal value legislation," she states., "We've got to take action immediately. ( Prime Minister John) Turner has said he prefers to negotiate on the basis of goodwill. We have waited 20 years for that good will," said Ms. Bolton. Continuing on the subject of equality in the work force for women, the mother of two said women can't wait until there is an economic upswing before they receive equal a p Ms. Bolton says, of course, both non- working men and women should be able to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan. When asked fpr her opinion on por- nographic material, the NDP candidate answered there are two major issues facing women in today's society. The first is economic equality and the second is the. violence to women in society, she said. Most people aren't aware of the repulsiveness of pornographic material said Ms. Bolton. "We've legislated against other hate literature and we must legislate against this," said. Ms. Bolton referring to por- nographic material as hate literature not only against women, but the male and female child. She added that pornography is as insulting to men as it is to women. Ms. Bolton said one of the most important freedoms people have is the control of their own bodies. And women should have the right to decide the number and spacing of their children, she said in giving her opinion on abortion. As a mother, she knows the kind of com- mitment needed to raise children. While she does talk pro -choice, Ms. Bolton adds that there should also be more research on "quality and effective" birth control as well as an adequate education on birth control for young people. If elected as MP, Ms. Bolton said she would take the concerns, issues and needs of the Huron Bruce riding to the national level. "As a community organizer, I have knowledge of what makes a community healthy and strong," said the NDP can- didate. She would, said Ms. Bolton, encourage the community members to support one another in problems and work together to make necessary changes in government. Libertarians are out there-Yundt BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE Libertarians are out there, but they don't know they are Libertarians, said the Huron- -,Bruce candidate campaigning under that political party's banner. Joe Yundt, 43, of RR 3 Brussels is running his third election campaign although only his first in Huron -Bruce. A believer in freedom of individuals with government only providing a "good" justice system and an army for outside aggression, Mr. Yundt said he is providing an ,alternative to the main three political parties in Canada. Formerly a professional engineer in Brampton, where he twice ran as • a Libertarian candidate, the separated man came to Huron County three years ago to farm. He has 40 head of cattle on his farm and grows beans as well as mixed grains. The Libertarians candidate said he was raised in the Monkton area in Perth County and while growing up had always had the notion that Canada was a free country. Mr. Yundt said he grew up and found out this country is not free. "I can't milk a cow and sell the milk to you," said Mr. Yundt adding that "people with guns" would put him in jail if he sold milk without quota or for not having the milk pasteurized. When it was pointed out that dairy farmers themselves originally wanted the quota system, Mr. Yundt countered that milk quotas were initially set up to protest the producers. He compared it to his own profession which has an association to protect engineers. SAVE 516.00 PR. ON COOPE RALLS BAU E R SUPREME 100 HOCKEY SKATES BOYS' IR.

He termed the federal deficit "absolutely ridiculous" and said it could be paid off by selling crown corporations like Canadair. As for the government job creation programs, Mr. Yundt simply says that's not the government's business. "The government can't create jobs. It shouldn't have anything to do with creating jobs," said the Libertarian candidate. Equal pay for work of equal value legislation is dictating one person's wishes on to somebody else says Mr. Yundt. • He. explained that if he wanted to hire someone, male or female, at 50 cents an hour and that person accepted that wage, then the government shouldn't be involved. Mr. Yundt doesn't only think that non- working women shouldn't contribute to the Canada yension Plan, but no one should be forced into paying it. He said the plan should be voluntary as are insurance plans. The candidate said OHIP and Unemployment Insurance benefits should also be made voluntary. "The government shouldn't have the right to make me pay it," he said. The restriction of pornographic material, Mr. Yundt said, should not be controlled by• government. He verbally pointed to George Orwell's 1984 and said controlling pornography is bringing Orwell's fantasy to life. Mr. Yundt was pensive on the question of abortion noting it is a tough subject for him to make a response to. He explained that Libertarians believe in not hurting another person. A woman, said the candidate, has to live with a decision made to abort a pregnancy. The Libertarian remains unsure if a fetus is a person or not. Mr. Yundt said the government shouldn't be in the business of giving gifts or controlling banks, or printing what he termed fiat money. Fiat money is paper made into legal tender as is Canadian money. The Libertarian said if he printed money he would be arrested. He suggested gold or something of value be used to make necessary purchases. The Libertarian said if there is less government taxes will be reduced. "With less government it will be easier for farmers to farm," said Mr. Yundt. If elected MP, the candidate said he'd "do away with silly legislation and try and make a better country." He doesn't expect to win though. In the last elections he was in, he received 243 out of a possible 66,000 votes. "At least 'I beat the Marxist-Leninist and the Communist candidates," he -said. Mr. Yundt won't be doing any door-to-door canvassing and has no committee rooms. He '' is considering invitations he has received for all -candidate meetings. He has, he said, just made sure his name is on the ballot.
