Maurice Sauve, speaking on behalf of Huron Liberal candidate, Maitland Ed- gar, last Thursday night, in the St. Joseph Parish Hall, told a gathering of about 100 that the most important problem facing Canadians today is the relations between the French-speaking and English-speaking people. Mr. Sauve charged that Con- servative leader John Diefen- baker is ignoring Quebec, and this is causing disunity in the Conservative ranks. "Mr. Dief- enbaker is no longer a power in Quebec," he added. "Separ- atism is now a forgotten issue, thanks to the co-operation of the federal government and the government of Quebec Premier Jean Lesage." The minister of forestry in the present Liberal govern- ment, Mr. Sauve •told the gath- ering that one time he was the personal assistant to Premier Lesage, before entering federal politics. "We must make up our minds, not on how to vote," he said, "but how we can live in security in Canada. The Lib- eral party has always been iden- tified with security." Mr. Sauve went on to tell how prosperous Canada has been in the past years, under his Liberal government. "Un - SPEAKS FOR EDGAR — Hon.

At various times throughout his address, Mr. Sauve spoke to the gathering in his native French language. A. "Red" Garon, Clinton busi- nessman, introduced the candi- date, Malt Edgar, to the group assembled. He said, "Huron has been badly neglected over the years, but now we have a good young candidate, full of vim and vigor, and I ask you all to support him." Mr. Edgar pointed out two reasons he feels should encour- age the people to elect a Lib- eral government. "First of all, we have had economic success in Canada like we have never before had," he said, "and sec- ondly, the promises of Mr. Pear- son regarding medicare and farm poliey should please everyone." The candidate also spoke briefly of his opponent in the election, pointing out that they had played hockey with and against each other in past years. "Now we will have to put on running shoes and try to out - leg each other," he concluded with a chuckle. Chairman for the meeting was John Laporte, RR 2, Zurich, and greetings from the district were extended the cabinet min- ister by Mrs. Isabelle Gascho, a member of the council in the village of Zurich.
