E. Madill Secondary School, Wingham. He was mop - posed for the nomination; Mr. McQuail, 29, ran as the NDP candidate in last Feb- ruary's federal election. He has served as the NDP provincial council delegate from this area for the past year and has been active. in local farm organizations. He also has an ongoing interest in energy and energy-related issues. Mr. McQuail addressed a gathering of approximately 10 supporters at the meeting. He identified "rising energy prices, high interest rates and monopoly pricing powers" as three of the most contentious issues in the up- coming campaign.. The problem of rising energy prices was cited as the most important aspect of the election. Mr. McQuail contended that, "we must shift our dependence from rapidly depleting energy sources to those energy supplies which are renewable." He proposed that such a shift would en- sure secure supplies at a more stable cost. He went on to say that his party proposes to cancel the Darlington Nuclear Power Station because there is no foreseeable need for the project. He said that if smaller projects in many localities were undertaken, the economic benefits would be more widespread. Mr. `McQuail also suggested ways to combat high interest rates and foreign ownership. New Democrats have devised a manufacturing strategy for the 1980s which emphasizes "using 1 1 resources to meet . needs". He stress :. ownership and control of our resources is a positive step toward healthy economic development. Another area of great concern to Mr. McQuail is the preservation of farmland and the farming community. He pointed to the success of the 'Saskatchewan NDP government in dealing with absentee ownership and said MRS. LEWIS STONEHOUSE he would like to see such a program initiated in Ontario. He attacked the "cor- porate giants" who are "trying to gouge Ontarians". He proposed a Fair Prices Review Board to examine pricing policy and keep a rein on excessive price in- creases. He closed by saying he is pleased to represent a party which is concerned with Ontario's energy security and economic independence. Earlier on Saturday 22 NDP campaign organizers from •five ridings' met at the Madill secondary school for a campaign training program. The guest speaker was Marion Chambers, NDP candidate for Wellington- Dufferin-Peel. She spoke on running a rural campaign and campaign strategy. The seminar was organized by Mr. McQuail and, Valerie Bolton of the Huron -Bruce and Huron -Middlesex NDP.

The others are the. Perth County board, and the. Huron -Perth separate school board.

Blyth Trustee John. Elliott said this is an issue the board will have to deal with in 1981, commenting, "either every- one else in the province is out .of step; or we are." The ' board could save money on borrowingcosts by collecting four times a year, 'but the townships 'argued. it would simply pass on the borrowing costs to them and subsequently to .the tax- payers.
