Joe Yundt, 43, of RR 3, Brussels is running in his third election campaign al- though only his first in Huron -Bruce. A believer in freedom of individuals with government only providing a "good" jus- tice system and an army for outside agression., Mr. Yundt free count rtadan candidate 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, he 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 Libertarian candidate said he was raised in the Monkton area in Perth County and while growing up NOTICE WATER RESTRICTIONS IN THE TOWN OF WINGHAM HAVE NOW BEEN REMOVED Wingham Public Utilities Commission 1 THE HALF MOON "CLOTHES FOR HER" "CLOTHES FOR HER" in Walkerton ANNOUNCES that on.

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 hav- ing the milk pasteurized. When it was pointed out that dairy farmers them- selves originally wanted the quota system, Mr. Yundt countered that milk quotas were initially set up to pro- tect the producers. He com- pared it to his own profession which has an association to protect engineers. ISSUES When dealing with specific issues, Mr. Yundt repeated his philosophy, used on the writings of the late Ayn Rand, on having less govern- ment. He termed the federal de- ficit "absolutely ridiculous" and said it could be paid off by selling Crown corpora- tions such as Canadair. As for thegovernment 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 dic- tating 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 ac- cepted that wage, then • the government shouldn't be in- volved. Mr. Yundt doesn't only think that non -working wom- en shouldn't contribute to the Canada Pension Plan, but no one should be forced to pay 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 porno- graphic material, Mr. Yundt said, should not be controlled by government: Controlling pornography, he said, is bringing Orwell's 1984 fan- tasy to life. Mr. Yundt was pensive on the question of abortion not- ing it is a- rough subject for him to respond to. He ex- plained that Libertarians be- lieve 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 govern- ment shouldn't be in the business of giving gifts or controlling banks, or print- ing 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 off value be used to *lake necessary pur- chases. 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 candi- date said he'd "do away with silly legislation and try and make a better. country." He doesn't expect to win. In the other elections he was in, he received 243 and 201 votes out of 66,000 voters. "At least I heat 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 in- vitations he has received for all -candidate meetings. He has, he said, just made sure his. name is on t1e :ballot. fi w LET'S HAVE ANOTHER ONE—Paul Jacobson (centre) and Brian and Ian Roeder help themselves to "just one more" treat during snack time at the Fordwich play- ground. The summer playground program wrapped up last Friday with a special ses- sion for parents and children. Playground program provides fun for all FORDWICH — For the some parents • also went to past six weeks, children - between the ages of four and 12 have been singing songs, playing games, making crafts and generally having a good time in the Fordwich playground program. "P" Day last Friday marked the last day of this program for 1984 and, like other Fridays, it was a special events day. These events have ranged from a Pioneer Day, with children cooking their lunch over an open fire, making candles by dipping them in wax and paddling in a canoe, to the final Friday on which the children and leaders wore PJ's, held a pet show and for lunch had a pizza -popcorn - pop -popsicle picnic. The children, leaders and Active feminist seeks seat in Huron -Bruce An active feminist, 32 - year mother of two, Valerie Bolton is taking her first leap into federal politics. Ms. Bolton is the New Democratic Party's can- didate in the federal riding of Huron -Bruce for the Sept. 4 federal election. A part-time employee .of Women Today , and a researcher for a conference called Turning Point, Ms. Bolton is also writing a booklet on rural women's groups in Ontario, She and her husband,, farmer and bricklayer Dean Walker, have • a farm at RR 1, Belgrave. They have two daughters, Monica, 7, and Amber, 4. Not an Ontario native, Ms. Bolton wasraised in Van- couver. She moved to Ontario 10 years ago after travelling and working in 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 the NDP's proposed program would cost $1 billion.

Putting the federal economics issue in per- spective with the local economy, Ms. Bolton said if farmers recei' ed a "fair return" on their labor, there ;wouldn't be the financial crises there is across the country. Some methods of solving 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 large cor- porations. Ms. Bolton said the NDP would also "rest °rict the powers of the bank to force farmers out of business". Ms. Bolton becomes im- passioned When speaking on women's issues. "The New 'Democrats will ensure an active 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 good will. 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 pay. Ms. Bolton says both non- working men and women should be able to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan. When asked for her opinion on pornographic material, the NDP candidate an- swered 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. Most people aren't aware of the repulsiveness • of pornographic material, she said. • Hanover for a tour of Mc- Donalds and a visit to the conservation area. Leaders Anne Robinson and Debbie Coghlin have had anywhere from 10 children the first week to 25 in the final week. Registration in the program has been up this year and next year they are hoping• for even more. This has been the fourth year for the summer program, which is sponsored x by the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation through the Experience '84 program, with partial funding by the Fordwich parks board. Catherine -Cardiff ;a} honored at shower BRUSSELS — A large crowd attended a com- munity shower last Monday evening in the United Church.

The program consisted of a dance number by Dana Mathers, a solo by Julie Campbell, another dance number by Tatum Mathers,, a piano number by Mrs. Kufske and two readings by Barb McCutcheon. Mrs. Emily Cousins, who wrote the address, read it to Miss Gardiff. Following the program, the bride opened her many beautiful and useful gifts. She then thanked everyone for the gifts and also for making the evening a special one for her. The groom's mother was unable to attend as she lives in Edmonton. other hate literature and we must legislate against this," said Ms. Bolton, referring to pornographic material as hate literature not only against women, but the male and female child. She added that pornography is as in- sulting nsulting 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 commitment needed to raise children. While she does talk pro- choice views, 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 candidate. She would, said Ms. Bolton, encourage com- munity members to support one another in problems and work together to make necessary changes in government. fis)~0/€44 Mr. and Mrs. Rick Deichert of Owen Sound, Mr. and Mrs. • Bob Tiedemann and baby Geoffrey and Brian Reid, all of London, were Sunday visitors with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Reid.
