People who have served in public of- fice will understand my hesitation. They will know that to do the job right, even if it is not a full time job, it would soon feel like it. Some days I thought I might and other days I was sure I would not. On reflection I have decided to offer myself as a candidate for mayor and let the voters decide. So that you may have a basis for your opinion, other than just meeting me around town, you may wish to know more about what you would be getting if you were to elect me. I was- born in 1923 on a farm in Nova Scotia, which had been in the family since the 1700's. My father had been a farmer, agricultural representative, professor and research officer. He had always been active in community af- fairs. As he moved with his work; I went along too and attended rural and ur- ban schools in Nova Scotia and Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown and obtained matriculation in Nova Scotia. After a year and a half of milking cows and spraying apple trees I returned to school and enrolled in the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. I left that institution to enlist in the Canadian Navy and sail- ed in North Atlantic Convoys and in an Escort Group during the European Campaign. In 1945 I ,resumed my education at the University of Western On- tario in Honours Math and Physics and Electronics. Unfortunately I failed my French course and lost my DVA benefits. My wife went to work and I took a part time job as ajanitor and I finally graduated in 1947 with a Bachelor's degree. I worked as an Economist for the Federal Department of Agriculture in the Atlantic Provinces until 1955. During that period I re-enlisted in the militia, was commissioned and completed Canadian Staff College qualifications. I was the first elected chairman of the Village Commissioners of Bible Hill and served two terms. During that period we installed the first sewage disposal system, built a new fire hall and secured a site for a future water tower. In 1955 I competed for and won the Public Service fellowship in Public Administration at Carleton University and obtained a transfer to Ottawa so that I could make use of it in the evening study program: Initially I was assigned as dairy economist in the Economics Division to edit the Dairy Products Review. Before obtaining my Graduate Diploma in- Public Administration in 1957 I was appointed Assistant Staff Relations Officer for the department and was pro- moted to Administrative Officer in the Marketing Service and adviser to the Prices Support Board. When the marketing, service was combined with the production service in 1958 I was asked 'to plan the structure for the new ad- ministration and in the process recommended, that my own position should be abolished in the interest of efficiency. However, before that carne about I won a competition as Chief of Markets Information and Market Outlook and was ap- pointed General Secretary of the Federal Provincial Agricultural Outlook Con- ference. I continued as Economic Advisor to the Agricultural Stabilization Board on fruit and vg etables. With the introducti h of collective bargaining in the Public Service I served, in addition to my employment, as ,chairman of the Economists, Sociologists and Statisticians Group, became a director of the Professional Institute and later served as national president for two years. At the same time I served as a school trustee and, after the Davis re -organization of the education system, was elected chairman of the municipal school board. I was asked by the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa to resume active duty with the militia and was appointed'adjutant and later as Headquarters Company Commander doubled as Training Coordinator, retiring with the rank of major. In the Department of Agriculture I became involved in emergency measures planning and taught, on a part time basis, at the Civil Defense College in Arn- prior for a number of years. In addition, I was appointed as this "North American Expert for Agriculture" by the NATO Ministerial Council. (A title which somewhat overstated the case). During the late 1960's I represented Canada at Geneva in negotiations for a new lnternationa; .;agar Agreement and was assigned to the Administrative Committee where representatives of over 90 countriestried to hammer out acceptable wording to ensure continuity of sugar supplies at reasonable - prices. In 1 970 I transferred to the Bureau of Statistics as Chief of the Livestock Section in- the -Census of A-griculture and was responsible for office process- ing of questionnaires from 366,128 Canadian farmers, up to the point where data had been tabulated and publications issued. I had little to do- with the Cen- sus of 1976, being committed to planning and testing for the Census of 1981. - Under 'the government language training program I eventually became of- ficially bilingual and was able to do my work in either English or French, a skill which has rusted considerably sjnce retiring to_W.ingham-_ - 1 -have always been terrified of public speaking and tried as a Councillor in the Junior Chamber of Commerce to find a solution to this very serious pro- blem. I found there is no cure and have' learned to try to conceal the disability when necessary. When my wife and'l moved to Wingham in 1 979 we found a welcome in the Royal Canadian Legion and the Horticultural Society and were rapidly made to feel at home. When the Property Standards Bylaw was passed I was appointed chairman of that committee and served for three years. As directed by Council, the pro- blems which arose were resolved on an amicable basis through discussion and confrontation was avoided. I count among my friends both the persons who felt compelled to file complaints and the people complained of, whom I met in finding solutions. I wasfortunate in the quality of the other members who served with me on the committee. When the Heritage Committee was formed, I was asked to serve as chair- man and have had a great deal of pleasure in learning more about Wingham, its past and the people who settled and built it. I enjoy sharing this information with interested young people and others. I am also a member of the Mu Board, usem - The opportunity to write the pages for Wingham in the New Huron County Atlas gave me a chance to meet the industrial, commercial, educational and in-. stitutional leaders of Wingham who generously provided me with more infor- mation about Wingham than there was, room to publish in the Atlas space available. I found a devotion to quality__ of _.work .anal integrit - .of _business.in---- Wirigham whin t expect those who have lived here longer have understood all along. In closing, let me say that if elected I will do the best I can. I promise to make mistakes but will try to correct them when they happen and to keep them to a minimum. If you feel I can be of service the decision is up to you. Yours sincerely, Ernle Eaton (Paid advertisement)
