Close' to 2,000 persons attended
the Jaclt Riddell beef barbeque at
the Pirteridge Chalet Monday
night anti the incumbent Huron -
Middlesex MPP criticized the
Davis government on a number
of issues.
On the subject of unem-
ployment Riddell said, "A
Liberal government would
stimulate small businesses by
putting 100,000 jobs on the market
within one year.
He continued, "We would
subsidize the creation of new
businesses with help of 20 percent
to a maximum of $2,000 for each.
new employee."
"The Davis charter talks of
100,000 new jobs. But, he's not
telling about the 85,000 jobs which
the economy helps create each
year without any additional
measures," added the Huron -
Middlesex Liberal candidate.
Riddell deplored the spending
of the present Conservative
government saying, "We must
strive toward a balanced budget.
Fairly tough measures will have
to be taken to cut the fat."
Talking about regional
government and the closing of
hospitals, Riddell said, "Davis
has these two on the back burner
just waiting for a majority
government."

"We Can
Do It.11 ..
at the recent Conservative
nomination meeting that he is "a
voice in the wilderness", Riddell
replied, "If I was in the wilder-
ness, my voice sure echoed off
the trees in the hospital closing
situation."
Riddell also touched on calling
of the election at this time saying,
"We have several instances to
prove minority government was
working. We introduced policy on
returning core curriculum to our
school systems and 85 percent of
these amendments were adopted
by the government."
Riddell said another example
of minority government working
was the "innoculous farm bill".
He added, "We came in with
amendments and some of these
were accepted."
He continued, "The Con-
servatives wanted to throw a
paltry five millidn dollars into a
farm program from a budget of
over 13 billion dollars."
Joe Hogan of Exeter was
chairman for the program which
included entertainment by the
Bradley family from Clinton, the
Miller family of Dashwood and
Brenda Creces, also of Dash-
wood.

Common sense now!
Shirley Weary has common sense. The Ontario New Democrats
