Joe Clark meets the people
The Progressive Conservative
party would put more power in
the hands of the local small
communities, both rural and
urban, according to its leader
Joe Clark.
Mr. Clark and his wife Maur-
een were attending a meeting
and reception at the Vanastra
Shillelagh in Clinton Monday
night where he addressed over
1,000 people gathered to take the.
opportunity to shake his hand and
have a few words with him.
Mr. Clark went on to say a
majority Conservative govern-
ment would encourage people to
assume more responsibility in
making the small municipalities
more effective. He said the, big
government approach doesn't
seem to have worked and we
need to revitalize local initiative.
Encouragement of the enter-
prising spirit in Canada would be
another priority of a Conservative
government says Mr. Clark. He
feels Canadians are in danger
of losing the idea people can
look after themselves and should
be given the opportunity to do so.
It should be possible for a person
to start a small business and
make it work without a lot of
interference by the government.
Agriculture will be another
place a Clark government would
place its emphasis. Mr. Clark
says agricultural policies would
be determined by sitting down
and talking with people who are
actively engaged in the industry
and the Minister of Agriculture,
whoever he might be, would
carry a good deal of influence in
the cabinet.
"This country is far too large
to have policies set by a small
group in Ottawa," says Mr.
Clark. "We need the help of
the people to make the govern-
ment work."
Mr. Clark says the Liberal
party is falling apart. more and
more every day while the Con-
servatives are putting forward a
strong and united party.
"When the Liberal party loses
John Turner and Jean Marchand
in such a short space of time,
it has lost a senior English and
senior French cabinet minister.
That means problems within
the party."
However, Mr. Clark sees him-•
self as a realist.
"We can't make too many
gains in the west, and there
aren't too many seats to gain in
the Atlantic provinces. I believe
we can win some seats in Quebec,
not a lot perhaps, but some.
However, to form a national
majority party in the election of
1978, we must hold every seat we
have and gain 47 new seats.
The battleground will be Ont-
ario."
Jim Donnelly and Donna
Woods presented Joe and Mau-
reen with an atlas of the Counties
of Huron and Middlesex saying
"We want it back in two years
with the inscription, Joe Clark,
prime minister of Canada."
Mr. Clark and Maureen were
accompanied by Bob McKinley,
MP for Huron -Middlesex, Bill
Jarvis, MP for Perth-Willmont
and John Wise, MP for Elgin.
Huron Warden Jack McCutcheon
welcomed the couple on behalf of
the County and the standing room
only crowd gave them standing
ovation.
Calf club
plays ball
The Hensall Feeder Calf Club
held a most enjoyable evening at
Hensall. Community Park,
Monday when members played
ball and enjoyed a wiener roast.
The evening is made possible
with proceeds from a painting
donated by Ron Wareing. Angie
Furrars, Guelph judge of the
finished calves was present.
Cheques were presented to the
winners as follows: Bruce
Hasselback of Huron Tractor Co.
presented the cheque to Bill
Kinsman; Harold Parker of
Parker & Parker Tiling
presented the reserve champion
cheque to Mary Jane McGregor.
The other cheques were
presented by Grant McGregor.
Entries pour in for Zurich fair
Over 150 entries have been
eceived so far for the Zurich
air competitions this weekend.
4any of the exhibitors so far
'iso exhibited last year according
D treasurer, Mrs. Delmar Miller.
"The poultry, rabbit and
igeon competitions especially
Till be of a very high calibre
els year as this is the first year
ley are being put on by the
Enron County society." says
1rs. Miller.
The parade also looks very
romising with many local floats,)
ntique cars from London, Earn
oss, the Clinton pipe band,
lueen of the Furrow from the
iternational Plowing Match,
obert McKinley, MP and Jack
iddell, MPP. Quite a number of
rildren have also registered for
ie parade as well as entering the
uit and vegetable competitions.
here is also a good deal of
:hool work on display which was
smpleted during the spring
me.
As of Friday night there were
:vett entries in the Queen of
e Fair contest and the fair
smmittee is quite pleased. How
'er, there is still room for more
:ople in the talent show. Any-
wishing to enter should con-
tact Mrs. Donna Klopp at 236-
4675 or Mrs. Delmar Miller at
237-3348.
So far it looks as though
having the fair on July 23 and
24 instead of in September is,
not going to seriously affect the
number of entries in the variousl
categories. The change is being;
made to try and have the fair,
when there are more people
around to attend it and enthusi-
asm runs a little higher.
Entries in the show house are
to be brought in on Friday,
July 23, before 1:00 p.m. They
will be judged that afternoon and
will be on display Saturday,
July 24. The deadline for enter-
ing the Talent Show is Thursday
evening which is also the dead-
line to register as a fair queen
contestant.
Bali tournament at
Zurich diamond
A major all -day ball tourna-
ment for August 21 will be held
at the Zurich arena and ball -
diamond, organized by arena
manager Jerry Rader. Members
of the recreation, parks and com-
munity centre board discovered
at their July 6th meeting they
would be expected to help with
the tournament to make it a
successful fund raiser.
The board forwarded a letter
of appreciation to the township
of Stanley for their $500 grant
towards the arena operation.
A letter from the County
Health unit was read and dis-
cussed. It contained a list of
irregularities with a two-week
deadline for completion. The
board felt it was odd such a list
and deadline should be present-
ed to them after ten years of
satisfactory operation with many
inspections indicating general
compliance with requirements.
However, the corrections will be
made as time and budget allows.
Accounts totalling $7,705.32 were
approved for payment. $4,616.03
of this amount is insurance
premiums.
Old tyrne music
The residents enjoyed an hour
of old tyme music and a sing -
a -long in the normal care sitting
room on Monday with music
provided by Mrs. Elsie Hender-
son and Norman Speir.
The Goderich Laketown band,
played for a concert on the front
lawn on Family Night and al-
though the weather was a little
cool, most of the residents were
able to enjoy the program. Mr.
Al Mullin is the new leader of
the thirty member band and we
wish him every success. Mr.
George Jenner thanked the band
on behalf of the residents.
The Tiger Dunlop Women's
Institute were hosts for the July
birthday party. Mrs. Eric Rae -
burn showed coloured slides
taken while on a cruise to several
countries in Europe. Mrs, Earl.
Sherwood, president of the
Institute, presented gifts to the
thirty-one celebrants and Mrs.
Gertie Hicks entertained with
piano melodies during the lunch-
hour, Walter Kingswell who was
celebrating his ninety-eighth bir-
thday on Wednesday expressed
tile appreciation of the resid-
ents.
Fifteen residents attended the
octogenarian picnic on Wed-
nesday at the Salford Valley Hall
sponsored by the Goderich Kins-
men.
Three residents were guests
of the C,N.I.B. picnic at the
Harbor Park Goderich on Wed-
nesday afternoon.
Arena needs work
From page 1
This will carry only 54% of the
new required live load capacity.
Two by eight's must be lagged to
the concrete wall underneath
the seating area and located so
they provide support for the
lower end of the inclined two by
eight's.
North -south beams must be
added under the stage floor
to raise its capacity from the
present 60 pounds per square foot
to 100 pounds per square foot.
In the north lean-to section,
where the rafters meet the truss
they need to be supported by
two by ten's capped between the
truss points and nailed to the
rafters.
Councillor McKinnon reflected
gloomily, "We were gleefully
looking at having everything
done and because of the engin-
eer's error we are only in the
middle."
