Riddell replies to Eaton
Dear Sir:
I would like to comment on
Mr. Eaton's recent release
concerning Bill 70.
The Ontario Liberal Party
has consistently opposed the
immediate inclusion of
farmers under this oc-
cupational health and safety
bill.
During committee
hearings on this bill, Hugh
O'Neil, one of my Liberal
colleagues, moved the
following amendment:
"Notwithstanding subs-
ection 1, this Act does not
apply to farms unless
designated generally or
specifically by regulation."
Every Liberal member of
the committee supported

— Continued from Page 4
manner, said in a letter to director of education John
Cochrane he was "really quite shocked and offended
to read some of this stuff. Of all the crap I have ever
heard, that has to be it, and I can tell you that if that
material is going to be taught in Huron county high
schools when my children go to high school, they won't
be going to the public system."
Isn't that somewhat of an overstatement?
If nothing else Gaunt's letter is good for a laugh
when he states that he doesn't want to sound "prudish
for self-righteous" but "If we continue to sow this kind
of stuff in the minds of young people we will sow to the
wind and reap the whirlwind."
Pardon?
In the article in the Goderich Signal -Star from
which the above passages were taken, Clarice Dalton
of the CWL termed the Huron -Bruce MPP's response
the most positive. •
While admitting that she had not read the books,
she said that the excerpts from the books were "proof
enough" to have the three novels eliminated.
Let's see now; this writer has read one out of .
three -33 percent, not a passing mark, a spokesman for
the CWL is 0 for 3, better drop the course and a sup-
porter of the league doesn't show any great knowledge
of the books,
Maybe it would have been a better idea to have
held our respective tongues and let the board of educa-
tion decide this matter on its own accord.
this amendment.
Mr. Eaton and every one of
his Conservatjve colleagues
in the Committee voted
against the amendment. The
NDP also voted against the
amendment.
Had Mr. Eaton and his
colleagues supported our
amendment, farmers would
have been excluded from the
Bill.
Now Mr, Eaton seems to
want to forget how he voted
in committee. Now Mr.
Eaton is mixing the question
of coverage for farmers with
coverage for other groups.
Does Mr. Eaton not agree
with the Federation of
Agriculture that the
agricultural sector is dif-
ferent from other sectors
and that "agriculture
requires special con-
sideration in the develop-
ment of Occupational Health
and Safety Legislation?"
The Minister of Labour
and her supporters appear to
be holding farmers of this
province as hostages. They
know that farmers shouldn't
be covered, but they won't
allow them to be "excluded
unless the Minister gets her
way with respect to other
aspects of Bill 70 that are
completely unrelated.
I know where I stand with
respect to the farm" com-
munity. I don't believe that
farmers should be included
in this Bill at this time, and I
voted that way. Mr. Eaton
can't say the same thing.
Yours truly,
Jack Riddell

Sir: •
For freedom -loving
Canadians the time has
come for the ringing of a fire
bell in the night.
Such a warning has been
sounded by Canadian editor
Ron Gostick in his booklet,
"Canada: The Moment of
Truth." This well
documented account com-
pletely exposes the alliance
between Pierre Trudeau and
his long-time political
.associate, Rene Levesque.
Canadians who value their
future and that of their
children must read and
circulate this booklet. They
must become aware of the
ideological backgrounds,
methods and objectives of
Messrs. Trudeau and
Levesque --and the threat
that their ,alliance poses to
Canada.
"Canada: The Moment of
Truth" is available at $1,00 a
copy from: The Canadian
League of Rights, Box 130,
Flesherton, Ontario NOC
