Zurich Citizens News, 1975-09-11, Page 13Jim Hayter PC candidate lists priorities (by Jim Hayter) With the election just over one week away, I would like to outline my policy on sever- al issues of concern to every- one. First of all I would like to point out that the preserv- ation of agricultural land and residential use of land in rural areas are perfectly compatible. In the last decade farm production in most commodities has reached an all-time high, in fact over- supply has been a problem for many of our farmers. It seems reasonable that in view of our ability to stimulate high production controlled resid- ential use of rural lands would be possible and even desir- able. Whether or not a nuclear power station is desirable in Huron depends on whom you talk to. A white bean grower is threatened by poss- ible radiation effcts on his beans but an urban consum- er expressed concern about adequate future power resources at a reasonable price. My plan would be to promote a really compreh- ensive examination of all the effects, and have it establ- ished what sector will gain and who will suffer. Someone has suggested that Wintario lottery is a weak method of raising neces- sary revenue in Ontario and in addition will tend to lower the Steer 1"*N This Way BY LARRY SNIDER 1 Detroit engineers suggest that within the next ten years, most of a car's weight will be of materials that have yet to be discovered. They are on the lookout for strong, lightweight compounds. Even if you store your car for a long time, you'll want to insure it against fire and theft. If you're not going to use it for a really long time, it may be cheaper to sell it. Car won't start? Try your lights - if they're out, or dim, it's probably the battery (or connections to it). If lights are okay, the trouble is in the starter. Compression ratio is the proportion between the volume of the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke and that volume when the piston is at the top of its stroke. New Englanders in Cuttyhunk island, Mass., just removed the island's only stop sign. Seems people didn't like that kind of government interference. * Make sure YOU stop at Larry Sniders for reliable service and maintenance on your car. You can depend on our experts.

All the profits are being channelled into cultural and recreational initiatives which will definitely benefit all Ontarians. The stabilization programs envisaged by the Ontario government do not reward inefficient economics on the farm. The price paid in the Beef -Calf Income Stabiliz- ation Program is based on production, therefore lower production will bear less ret- urn. An economist will tell you that wage and price controls will halt cost -push and wage -- pull inflation in the short- term, but like every other external factor brought to bear on the open market price mechanism, some reactions will be felt elsewhere in the economy. As soon as the cont- rols are lifted the economy will race back into a more realistic equilibrium that may refuel the inflationary fires. It has been said that a small businessman should be comp- ensated for their work and time in collecting and proces- sing the province's sales tax. I agree that there should be some equitable remunerat- ion of a businessman's labour and time for this tedious job. On July 1, 1974, the Ontario Government introduced a Guaranteed Annual Income System for the elderly, disabled and blind with monthly payments to eligible persons to ensure a minimum annual income of $2600 for single people and $5200 for couples. In response to higher living costs the GAINS minimum income was raised to' $2700 and $5400 respect- ively on October 1, 1974. A further increase effective January 1, 1975, moved the GAINS guarantees to $2766 for single people and $5532 for couples. Also to help defray cost of living expense the Govern- ment introduced a new Drug Benefit Plan on September 1, 1974, allowing free prescrib- ed drugs to recipients of the Federal GIS pensions or Ont- ario GAINS or Family Benefit plans. I do not favour a move by the province through the Ont- ario Provincial Police to police municipalities under 10,000 population, but 1 do see room for consolidation of forces at the county level in much the same way as the Huron and Middlesex County Counc- ils are presently consolidating police service. 1 think the dec- ision should be left to the County Council. since the ser- vice is more directly related to those people than the provincial government.

According to store manager Gary Masse: thc firm purch- ased • the Reserve Grand Champion calf for the sum of $1.10 per pound. Emmerson Gill of the Corb- ett Abbatoir bought the calf at the auction on behalf of the Grand Bend meat store. The animal was owned by Jim Thompson of Platts- ville. Mr. Masse said the pru- chasc of top quality beef of this type coincides with their continuing efforts to provide their customers with thc best calibre of meat possible. Meat from this championship calf will be available at the Tender Spot in the very near future. Zurich Citizens News, September 11, 1975 - Page 13 do not feel that standard grade 13 examinations for all students should be enc- ouraged because they cannot adequately test a student's ability to perform satisfact- orilywhile at university. These exams cannot test motivation on achievement in certain academic interests. A grat many courses open to a student at university or college are not even offered at the high school level. 1 LB PKG Sunspun Margarine 48 07 TIN Allen's Apple Juice SflL! 47< 49< ROSE 15 OZ JAR Sweet Mixed Pickles 68< BONNIE 15 OZ TiN or Zip Dog Food 2/350 S1)NSPtJN 32 OZ JAR Salad Dressing $1 '20/ Kellogg's Corn Flakes 59< 128OZJUG Supreme Liquid Bleach 1-)07..TIN Aylmer Tomatoes 19 OZ TIN Palanda Pineapple WHITE SWAN ASSORTED Bathroom Tissue .i 07 BOX Jello Jelly Desserts EVAPORATED 11.B TIN Carnation Milk HEINZ 140Z'l'IN Cooked Spaghetti MA1'LI'.
