We all have cam, but there's no burying /stint -in the riding," commented Mtty Cardiff, sitting let his conifOrtalde home overlooking the Grey. Township farm first homesteaded by the Cardiff family in 1858. In the Past -the voters of this riding have shown a tendency to vote for the man rather than the party or the issues,' he noted, and he expects the seine will be true in this election. This is the first time out as a candidate for Mr. Cardiff, a 45 - year -old Brussels area farmer and chairman of the Ontario White Bean Producers' Marketing Board,„ although he has w4ked' With Conservative candidates_in previous, federal and provincial elections. }leis ai ftig•a•hold. the riding folrlhe conserratKes by winning theseat beid,lor.15 yeirs. by Bob Mc pnley andWere that by Elston.Cardiff, a Want relative, offering.his•^experience as a very successful cash crop and hog farmej ' andwith farm organizations such as the bean board:'' On♦�A,q r' - the` issue; questions Mr. Cardiff sticks closely tb the poli- cies set Oust- by Prime Minister Joe Clark and Finance Minister John, Crosbie i n the budget which led itE the downfall of the Con- seruative governnleit.. Energy' affects -everyone, be agrred,,:and.Mr. Clark's budget on energy was, `maybe not what we want;but. what we need" 'the K proposed .18 cent O. ga11a .; ip-, ressive co•ns• crease in the excise tax On gasoline and diesel fuel wools certainly mean an increase in costs for agriculture and every- one else, he said,but the ac- companying rebates would soften the. blow. - Agriculture was _promised a refund of 10 cents a gallon on, fuel and the rebate of 980 per adult and 530 per child to low income families would more than cover their increased costs, assuming they drive 10,000 miles a year, he claimed. Interestis another big issue for the country and while Mr. Cardiff agreed the interest rates are hurting, lie suggested this is the price we must pay to keep capital flowing into Canada. "Until we see some stabilization in the gold price and •the ' world situation, we're going to be saddled with higher interestrates for a while." Increased inflation and unemployment are the price Of long-term stability; he said: The Conservatiye measures will help establish reliable energy sources within Canada and encourage development of alternate forms of energy. "We have to become a self- sufficient nation in the produc- tion of energy. This is the goal we must strive for," he declared, adding that recent events in the Par East make development of energy self-sufficiency more important than ever. What . are his particular con- cerns for this riding? Mr. Cardiff said there are several. First, he wants to see more assistance for Canadian • farmers, such as olewomen in society examinedby speaker FORDWICH-Mrs. Beverley Bell Rowbotham:of Listowel, who specialized in the science of • the dev,elopment. of:ltumanety, spoke to Members' • of :tile Women's Institute in the Ford - Mich Hall .on the subject,.. "How es mt. Society we Af= omen". : Mrs. Rowbotiem told about the economy : and smaller families - 'and': haw some wives become diiscontent because -they . are housewives and not earning. Money. She pointed .out how things are changing, mode, 'women working and covering more areas rot jobs, andhow birth .control has diminished the.. population. For working mothers, she mentioned nursery And day care centres. " r The speaker said that women are given more rights and more. 'responsibilities but " dosed .her 'talkwith the, declaration that the potential for haooiness between - husband and wife is greater now than it was 100 years ago. President Mrs. Edgar Gedcke conducted the meeting and roll call was answers to the question, "How is life better for you than it was for your grandmother" During the devotional part- of -the meeting, Mrs.° W. Soper read from'saltns and concluded' withia-‘00e,M. The motto, Study the past, work for the present and ' plan: for the ''future", was ably discussed ..by Mrs. W. M. Long who went back to 1930, telling of the first woman elected to .the senate, to the present day when Margaret Thatcher and Flora :McDonald hold positions of authority and honor. Mrs. Long concluded with an article about elderly women living below the poverty' The meeting closed with.. the singing of "God Save the Queen" and the hostesses served lunch. removal of the. capital gains tax on the sale of family farms. He would also like to encourage some small, clean industries to locate here, providing more employment for the youth. We must be careful not to bring in something which would jeopardizde agriculture, he said, but there is plenty of room for some small, non-polluting in- dustries in the towns. Another interest is tran- sportation, There is no rail travel here and transportation by bus is very limited, he noted. This is a concern, particularly with the number of senior citizens in the riding, and "we should be looking at it to see if there is something we can do." He sees a lot of potential for tourism in Huron -Bruce and would like to see it developed more, to get things flowing into this area. Leadership, is definitely an issue in the election as a whole, but he's not sure how big an issue it is in this area, he said. - His position on Mr. Clark is the one taken by the Conservative party in this campaign: he still hasn't been given a fair chance to show what he can do. While -his first concern is for this area, Mr. Cardiff also has an interest in Canada as a whole. "I want - to represent my consti- tuents first," he said, "but I want todo everything I can for Canada too. I want to see Canada as a nation where you can travel from coast to coast and still be one. This is what we should strive for." '4 IK •1; :f dE MRS. WILLIAM SOTHERN `.
