NDP rally critical of Tories
The operation of govern-
ment commissions, bureaus
and corporations in Ontario
under the Progressive Conserv-
ative Party as the party in power
came under strong criticism at
a rally of New Democratic Party
Support in Huron held at Bruce -
field on Monday evening.
In speaking to the meeting
both Huron Candidate Paul
Carroll and guest speaker Iarr
Deans, M. P. P. for Hamilton
Wentworth, pointed towards the
Progressive Conservative Party
in Ontario as the party of the
affluent.
"I for one, " Mr. Carroll
noted, "cannot agree with the
suggestion that Ontario has
enjoyed a time of progress under
the present government." "I
would challenge the economic
policies of the P,C,'s which
have lead to the present situat-
ion of Unemployment and Amer-
ican ownership of industry in
Canada,
American ownership, Mr.
Carroll suggested, has come
about through poor judgement
in the granting of loans and
grants by the Ontario Develop-
ment Corporation. According
to the Huron candidate too high
a percentage of these financial
assistance deals have gone to
multi national companies who
are owned by American parent
firms in the U.S.A. Nearly 5 0'/o
of all the funds granted or loan-
ed under schemes by the ODC
has gone to American owned
or controlled firms.
"In addition to these questions,
Mr. Carroll pointed out, "The
regional goverrunent system has
been a failure, tax reforms have
been inadequate, the welfare
scheme is a mess because the
government has failed to prov-
ide employment opportunities
as an alternate and the provin-
cial health care set up is the
most expensive in Canada and
does not provide a full range of
benefits,"
Mr. Carroll also pointed to
environmental control saying
the present government was
not doing it's duty in that area
either, particularly in the
Maitland River question locally.
"All this does not mean the
N. D, P. are taking a negative
attitude towards this election
however, " the candidate noted.
"We have formulated a great
many policies that take positive
approaches to correction these
problems."
Under these new policies the
candidate listed proposed proj-
ects for the beginning of new
housing projects and the creating
of new jobs to help in a battle
against the present high rate of
unemployment. A regional
planning policy with an eye
towards the location of second-
ary industries in communities
which would also help stop the
youth migration to larger urban

centres was discussed.
Mr, Carroll pointed out that
the Consumers Bureau must be
strengthened and some teeth
put into the legislation backing
it.
"The New Democratic Party, "
he said would offer a one unit
health care plant that would
cover all health expenses includ-
ing dentists and drugs at the
cost of $10 per family per unit.
There would also be a public
auto insurance scheme that
would cut present cost to drivers
by 150jo to 200/0.
We would propose that more
emphasis be put on progressive
tax systems to that taxes would
be rated "on the ability to pay,
not on the ability to evade."
The N.D. P. can also cut the
provincial sales tax by one per
cent, reduce the education tax
to farmers in a plan for provin-
cial take over of 80P/0 of costs
without increasing costs to the
taxpayer as the Progressive
Conservative Party claims
would be necessary.
"The question of environment-
al control could be properly
handled if the government
would just enforce the legislat-
ion now in force, " Mr. Carroll
said, "the N.D.P. would not
hesitate to prosecute under this
act."
The New Democratic Party
puts people first Mr. Carroll
said and called on everyone
present to work towards a vict-
ory in Huron.
Guest speaker at Monday
evenings meeting was Ian Deans
the sitting N, D, P, member of
the provincial legislature for
the riding of Hamilton Went-
worth. He indicated to the
group that already the campaign
was going exceptionally well
all across the province with
the N, D , P. shown in a recent
poll to be well ahead of the
Liberals and within a few per-
centage points of the Conserv-
atives.
"I seriously doubt, " Mr. Dean:
said, "the deep concern Mr.
Davis expresses for people in his
campaign slogan." "Is it what
he says or is it what he does
that shows where his concern
lies?" the member asked.
Too many times, he said,
I have seen people unable to
get their cheques from the wel-
fare system and requests to the
government to straighten things
out have brought no results.
"I have talked too often, " the
Hamilton Wentworth member
noted, "with senior citizens
who live in absolute poverty
