Res. 357-1847 BUILDING DISMANTLED—Area Mennonites didn't horse around on the job when they recently parked their horses and buggies in front of a vacant building in Fordwich, owned by Elmer Miller, of Fordwich. Working right through the rain on May 28, they had the building, the former site of a post office and telephone office in the village, taken apart in one day. The Mennonites dismantled the building in return for being allowed to keep the material from it. Mr. Miller said he has not decided what he will do with the property. Sean Conway addresses Liberal assoc. meeting. Sean Conway, MPP from Renfrew North and deputy leader of the provincial Liberal party, has predicted a provincial election within the next four to eight mon- ths. He made the prediction at last Wednesday evening's annual meeting of the Huron - Bruce Provincial Liberal Association held at the Turn - berry Central School. The Ontario Liberal Party is gearing up for the election, he said, and will concentrate on a positive campaign this time, focusing on reform measures—for -agriculture, , women's issues and' health care. Mr. Conway joked briefly about last week's defection of Liberal MPP J. Earl McEwen. to the Conservative ranks at Queen's Park, saying the Liberals "wish him well, but the electors of Frontenac-Addington (Mc- Ewen's riding) may have something to say about that" OPEN HOUSE Friday, June 1 9:00 at.m. 9:00 p.m. The Farm Information Centre Inc. would like to take -this opportunity to invite the public to drop in anytime at our location in the Mac's Milk Mall in Wingham.

COME IN AND SEE WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT! when the next election rolls around. Larry Grossman's May 17 budget also was discussed. Granted, said Mr. 'Conway, there are some new programs in the budget deserving of support, like employment iniatives for youth. But the rest of the budget is "an exercise in cosmetics". The Conservatives are calling it a "no -tax" budget,' but that is not true, the MPP claimed. OHIP premiums have been upped and there wi1Fbe a -five percep sur- charge added to personal income taxes. The agriculture budget has been increased by 16 per cent this year, but that ;m,,erely is making up for . minimalin- creases over the past two years, a "catch-up" measure. Plus there is not one new program introduced for agriculture, he said. Premier William Davis appears to be obsessed with . getting a domed stadium in Toronto, Mr. Conway said, But if the premier took the same level of interest in • agriculture, farmers would be "away to the races". Murray Elston,. MPP fqr Huron -Bruce, also gavea brief address. He thanked the local association for all its help over the past year and warned members to prepare themselves for the next provincial election. Mr. Elston said his three mains concerns for his constituents are the red - meat industry, shut downs and labor disputes at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development and unem- ployment among the youth of the riding. He said he also is con- cerned about all the promisesmade to the riding during the last provincial election by the Con- servatives and added, for the most part, none of those promises have been kept. Mac Inglis, president of the local association, said several members attended a hearing earlier this year in Kitchener to present a brief aboutthe proposed redistri- bution of electoral ridings. If adopted, these changes would mean the people -of Southwestern Ontario would have one less representative at Queen's Park. . Mr. Inglis said it is the fe.elirig of the.-_.,.loc.al association that due to the vastness of rural ridings, its representatives to the Legislature have more do 10 MRS. GEORGE BROWN r Gorrie compared with city ridings which could be only a few miles square. The last two Murray Elston Family Day picnics were so 'successful that another one is planned for this year in the Chepstowe area, said Mr. Inglis. The 1984-85 executive is: past president, John MacKenzie of Tiverton; president, Mr. Inglis of Belmore; first vice, John Jewitt of Londesboro; second vice, Dave MacKen- zie of Kincardine; secretary, Joe Dietrich of Formosa; and treasurer, Mary Pear- son of Port Elgin.

"I have to weigh what's best for the riding in co-oper, ation with what's best for the country," said Mr. Craig: Perth's Liberal candidate in the last election, Bob McTavish of RR 1, Stratford has said he will vote for Mr. • MacGuigan on the first balk lot but says 'he is uncommit- ted after that. However, Mr. McTavish said if it came down to a choice between Mr. Turner and Mr. Chretien he would go to Mr. Turner. ' "Jean (Chretien) comes across as sincere, honest and open," said Mr. McTavish. He wishes Mr. Chretien luck in the future but says• the fact has to be faced that "another leader from Que- bec might not be the best choice in terms of getting support from the west." John Conroy of Stratford, a Perth delegate, said Mr. Chretien's visit confirmed his total commitment to that candidate. "He speaks from the heart and is open to everyone. He proved that by answering questions. He is not closed to any ideas," said Mr. Conroy. Huron delegate Paul Steckle of RR 2, Zurich, said he likes Mr. Chretien, but ex- pects to at least vote for Mr. Whelan on the first ballot. "I doubt if anyone will know how I go on this," said Mr. Steckle. Another Huron -Bruce delegate, Bruce McDonald of • Mildmay, said he heard both Mr. Turner and Mr. Chretien speak before the Stratford appearances and he is a Turner supporter. "He is more of a consensus hind of candidate," said Mr. McDonald of Mr. Turner. He noted that Mr. Chretien did not make any mention of agriculture although he was in anagricul4uraleriding _ .. '.
