Zurich Citizens News, 1971-04-22, Page 12'';THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1971 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE TWELVE Huron N.D.P. Prepare Resolution Optimism pervades the NDP Huron Riding Association. Prov- incial Council member Herb Klopp reported last week that the Riding is well above the quota assigned it in the spring membership drive. President Wilf Glazier announc ed at a meeting held in the Murphy L.O, L., Clinton, that due to the upsurge in member- ship, the Association is entitled to send a second voting delegate to the NDP National Leadership Convention at the Civic Centre in Ottawa this week. Mrs. Shir- ley Weary was elected to attend at an.earlier meeting. At Clinton Ed Bain was chosen as the second voting delegate and Mrs, Kay Stoddard was appointed an alter- nate. All three are residents of Goderich. Members heard reports of proc- eedings at a conference held on March 14, at Waterloo University, to discuss farm problems and in particular NDP farm policy with nominated NDP candidates for an expected provincial election. Those who attended from Huron were Wilf Glazier, Ed Bain, Bob McMillan and Shirley Weary. Donald MacDonald, self-styled `farmer from South York', addr- essed the conference. He said tha NDP farm policy is to keep as many farmers on the land as ec- onomically possible. He stressed that the burden of education costs must be shifted from prop- erty taxes which not only are regressive but are too inflexible to provide the necessary revenue. In line with declared NDP Education policy, Mr. MacMillat presented a resolution to the Clinton meeting which was dis- cussed and approved to be for- warded to the NDP Provincial Council, It read as follows: "Whereas the present education tax structure is unfair to land and property owners, and "Whereas the Ontario Govern- ment has recognized this inequity and has taken action in the form of an education tax refund to qualified farmers, "therefore be it resolved that the NDP act to insure that the present education tax structure is changed to one where the tax- payer is charged for education in direct proportion to his ability to pay."
