FANSHAWE GRADUATE Stephen Stark, son of Mrs. ,Therese Stark, Zurich, graduat- ed from Fanshawe College in the Graphic Arts Management Course. He is a former student of South Huron District High School, 150 PER COPY Cabinet post for McKinley? It was hinted last Tuesday night that Huron -Middlesex riding would have representation in the federal cabinet if a Progressive Conservative govern- ment under Robert Stanfield is elected July 8 and Robert McKinley, PC incumbant for the riding, is returned to Ottawa Before a jovial, near capacity crowd at Pineridge Chalet. Hensall, boywonder Sean 0' Sullivan said the "time is near" for Mr. McKinley "to be a nat- ional figure." Mr. O'Sullivan was speaking at a fund raising dinner for Mr. McKinley, organized by local Conservatives. The boy -wonder, Conservat- ive incumbant for Hamilton - Wentworth, is, at 22, the youngest politician ever to sit in Parliament. He was 20 when he Whelan plugs for Lyndon Liberal Eugene Whelan, fed- eral minister of agriculture stepped out of a helicopter last Tuesday morning, bringing his brand of homespon politics to the Clinton Community Centre where he spent about an hour talking shop with area farmers. Mx. Whelan was attending a breakfast rally organized by local Liberals. Dignitaries on hand to greet him included Huron -Middlesex candidate, John Lyndon, Liberal MPP for Huron, Jack Riddell, and Huron County Warden Bill Elston. In a brief speech to an aud- ience of less than 150 people he said that the Progressive Conservatives and New Democ- rats had prevented necessary farm legislation from being passed when they defeated the Liberal government in May. The audience didn't cheer or shout, People sat and listened to what the minister had to say in his quiet, country way. He told them about changes in the Farm Credit Corporation which would have to wait until parliament resumed, The changes would give a young farmer better access to capital needed to run a productive, profitable operation, Mr. Whelan said. Prize stabilization payments, sorely needed by Ontario wheat farmers, can't be paid until the legislation is passed, he said. A man who voted to defeat the government before this legislation could be passed "now asks you to send him back to Ottawa, " he said, referring to Robert McKinley, Progressive Conservative incumbant for Huron -Middlesex. Mr. Whelan questioned the logic of NDP and Conservative policies. He compared the Conservat- ive's proposed wage and price freeze to an icicle hanging from the roof c f a house. As the sun shines, the icicle glitters and looks beautiful, But as the sun climbs higher, the icicle begins to melt. "Anyone who wcald put a wage and price control would look like that icicle, a drip, " Mr. Whelan said as the aud- ience chuckled, Since a Roman emperor dictated wage and price cont- rols to modern times, they haven't worked, he said. The bureaucracy created to administer such controls in Canada, would add to govern- ment spending. Robert Stanfield has said spending must be cut, Mr. Whelan said, He dismissed the NDP two - price system saying that Can- adians would enjoy one price while starving Africans and Indians would have to pay a higher price for Canadian food. Exports from other countries would rise in price as retaliat- ion, he reasoned, Canada can cut back on food imports. Technology available to Canadians will preserve numerous types of vegetables which would make domestic produce available year round Mr. Whelan explained. He concluded his speech by telling farmers that Bob Mc- Kinley voted to make farmers wait for necessary legislation ant on election day the farmers should tell Mr. McKinley to wait for, their votes, The minister went back to the (continued on page 5) defeated a Liberal incumbant in the 1972 federal election. Prior to being elected, the Hamilton native served as pres- ident of the Ontario Young Prog- ressive Conservatives and as executive assistant to John Dief- enbaker. "When Mr. Stanfield becomes Prime Minister, he will be look- ing to men of provenability; men he knows he can trust to help him take charge, " Mr. O'Sullivan said confidently. He reviewed Mr. McKinley's record since the Huron Middle- sex MP was first elected in 1965. Mr. McKinley served as a Canadian representative at the United Nations and the North Atlantic Assembly. He was recently appointed Chief Oppos- ition Whip. Mr. O'Sullivan earlier attack- ed the Liberal government's anti-inflation policies. "If you earned $10, 000 per year in the start of 1973 and didn't receive a raise, then by January 1 of this year, you had $1, 000 less. It has gorse eaten by inflation the Prime Minister said he had licked, " he said. Unemployment Insurance contributions have been raised recently by 40 per cern and were raised 15 per cent in 1973, while employers have difficulty filling job positions, Mr. O'Sullivan said in criticism the government handling of unempl- oyment insurance. He produced figures, saying in 1973 parliament budgeted $800, 000 for unemployment insurance but it cost $2 billion . "And it will cost us another $2 billion in 1974, " he maint- ained. "We must change the direct- ion that Canada is taking, " he said. The new direction would incl- ude a drift from the welfare state, removal of the small socialist fringe controlling government, preservation of individual dignity and Canada's heritage, protected markets for farmers, encouragement of free enterprise, a better deal for pensioners, removal of make- • work government programs, equitable taxation and co-oper- ation between industry and pub- lic to fight pollution. Mr. O'Sullivan also called Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau a socialist. "Put quite simply, a vote for the NDP is a wasted vote, it is a vote to re-elect Pierre Trudeau, " he said of the Liber- al -New Democratic Party coal- ition of the parliament. Mr. O'Sullivan was introduc- ed by Mr. McKinley who stress- ed his opening remarks that part) workers should not celebrate an election victory too soon. He urged them to continue campaigning until election day. He also attacked government policies on unemployment insurance, saying that he knew many employers in his riding who couldn't fill job vacancies. The small businessmen, incl- uding farmers, have to be prot- ected and encouraged, NEW DENTIST Dr, Grant Lee graduated recently from the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Dent- istry, and will be opening a practice in the Village of Zur- ich shortly. He is presently constructing a new medical clinic in the east end of the village, which he hopes to have ready within a month. Dr. Lee is a native of the Woodstock area, and is now a resident of Hay Township.
