Cardiff takes part in federal budget debate The impact of the new federal budget on . farmers, small businesses, homeowners, pensioners and the unemployed was among the concerns raised by Huron -Bruce. MP Murray Cardiff during debate on the budget last week in the House of Commons. While expressing concern over the current economic environment, .Mr. Cardiff also. said he is worried about the high rate of . unemployment and doubts whether the proposed $150 -million" youth employment schemes will help much. He . expressed regret over government Inaction on the issue of the Farm Credit Corporation's special interest rebate program, as well as concern that the budget did not deal with Section 31 of the Income Tax Act. That section has been a problem for some time, he said, particularly in its failure to adequately define the difference between full-time and hobby farmers. He said this discriminates against young or new farm- ers, as well as against experienced farmers who are encountering financial troubles and are forced to work off the farm. However he. said he welcomed the $120,000 rollover of taxable gain on ' the sale of qualified farm property into an RRSP, which will benefit e''`etiring farmers who have had little opportunity to save for their retirement. He also welcomed the budget's proposed aid to homeowners, . although he noted the proposed mortgage rate protection program and the proposals to make it easier to repay mortgages are contained in White Papers and will have to be legislated separately. Mr. `Cardiff said he is" pleased with the increase in the guaranteed income sup- plements for the elderly, although the in- crease of $50 fell short of the $102 recom- mended last year by a Parliamentary task force. . , Ilifarit Bethune, Garry Foreman, Rob Rivals and f►+IOrrow.

The telethon will be aired over CKNX-TV in Wingham with hosts Peter Kent in Toronto and Pat Boone in Hollywood featuring dozens of top name entertainers. Local hosts will be Bill Thomson and Jerry Chomyn of CKNX. Meanwhile members from an estimated 16EasterSeal service clubs, including clubs from Wingham, Listowel, Goderich, Port Elgin, Owen Sound and all around ,,the area, will be manning banks of telephones to take pledges from viewers. Since this is the first time an Easter Seal telethon has been held in this, area, no target has been set for the fundraising, but organizers said they are hoping for a good response, They noted that halt,the money raised stays with the local Easter Seal clubs to help crippled children in the immediate area, while the other half goes to the Easter Seal Society in Toronto. The telethonwill kick off at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 31, and continue until 5 p.m. Sunday, April 1, with a break for the hockey game and news on Saturday night. In all, a total of 19 hours of entertainment.is scheduled. The event was organized locally by the Wingham Lions Club in conjunction with CKNX and the Easter Seal Society, a province - wide network of . 10,000 volunteers and staff working with parents to help children who are handicapped. The society, which celebrated its 60th an- niversary in 1982, works with children up to 19 years of age, providing a wide range of services to help remove barriers imposed by their handicaps and encourage independence. Its major sources of funds include the Easter Seal campaign and various fund- raising activities such as the Snowaramas for Timmy held each winter. The realignment is part of a plan which would --increase the total number of seats in the Legislature by five to 130, at the same time adjusting riding boundaries to reflect changing population since the last redistribution took place in 1975. Huron -Bruce MPP Murray. Elston, whose riding would effectively disappear under the redistribution, said that while he is inno immediate danger of losing his seat he still plans to .oppose the change. The redistribution signals a continuing shift of representation away from the smaller rural areas to urban areas, at a time when rural residents can ill afford to lose their voice in govern- ment, he noted. "It's not right to be losing a rural seat at this time,,'t he said, noting that the problems being created as the province tightens its purse -strings make it more important than ever that people have' a strong local voice. Also, the greater distances involved in rural ridings make it hard for one person to effectively represent an entire county and provide an even level of service to all his constituents. Members in the urban areas can more easily represent large numbers of people, since there is not so much distance and there are Morris man dies in fire A mobile home fire near Hensall early Saturday morning claimed the life of a young Morris Township man. Terry William 'Glanville, 20, of RR 5, Brussels, died when fire swept through the mobile home in which he was sleeping. Another occupant, Mary Ryan, 21, of RR 1, Walton, managed to escape by breaking a window. Police reported that Miss Ryan awoke about 4:25 a.m. to find the home ablaze. She managed to break a window and get out, but suffered severe cuts in the process and was reported in fair condition at University Hospital, London. The Hensall fire depart- ment was called and ex- tinguished the blaze but was unable to save Mr. Glanville. The fire is believed to have been caused by a pan of grease which was left on the stove and overheated. Police said no inquest is expected. Mr. Glanville was born in Seaforth, a son of Lloyd and Mabel Glanville, RR 5, Brussels, and dear friend of Mary Alice Ryan. Also left to mourn his passing are three sisters, Mrs. Melvin (Sharon) Robins of St. Wil- liams, Mrs. Chris (Theresa) McDougall, Listowel, and Lisa, at home; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Glanville, RR 4„ Wal- ton, and Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Westlake, Exeter. many more government "My riding has about ,a49:1nciesand,., a,ofl eS 5' ; e914 w, vvluch ,is availabl'e:.. -.well -Within guidelines, of • • "1,:• think they ' should ;be .15 per cent on either side of more lenient in.applying the 60,000."
