HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1984-05-30, Page 4A4 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, MAY 30. 1984 We're still wearing sweaters DUBLIN Correspondent JOAN CRONIN 345-2772 Another month has come and gone and instead of having a lovely tan i am still wearing heavy sweaters and sniffling from a cold like many others. All those ladies who did their housecleaning early and put away all those heavy winter sweaters and coats are by now quite beside themselves as the youngsters have uprooted every drawer and closet in quest of warmer apparel. Despite the chilly weather, our outdoor surroundings have taken on a new and most definitely beautiful look of color and life. The air is filled with the smell of fresh spring lilacs, apple blossoms, freshly -cut grass and a few other variety of nature's odors. The strawberries are in full bloom and the gardens are planted and awaiting the sun to help them grow. The countryside, if looked at from a hill, takes on the look of a patchwork quilt. The squares of fall wheat waving in the breeze, the freshly -planted grain fields sprouting under the bnght sunshine, the black topsoil worked in preparation for corn or beans and the bright green cow pastures with .a sprinkle of yellow dandelion blossoms and to top it all off the deep green color of a field of clover awaiting its time to be cut for hay. The farm buildings and bush areas distinguish one farm from the other and the animals out to pasture Five an added touch ,of interest. For a creative quilter, wouldn't that be an interesting challenge? I know that the temperature may have caused some of you to go into hibernation but I think in some areas it must really be extra cold since no one called to tell me: of Here's a little diesel you can re -. get attached to PRICED . x6359 00 FROM • (mower extra) • 15 HP GEAR • 3 PT.

JUNK -A -R00 SALE—Joanne, 10 and Rob- bie Van Loon, 14 took time out from riding their bikes to spend some money at the Junk•a-roo afternoon, sale on Chalk St, on Saturday (Hundertmark photo) Fiscally responsible government needed A tough central government that can be fiscally responsible is the offer being made by Liberal leadership candidate Jean Chretien. Mr. Chretien was at Stratford's Victorian Inn, in the Winner's Circle on May 23, exactly two weeks after another leadership candi- date, John Turner, spoke across the street at the Stratford Country Club. Both men spoke to delegates and alter- nates from Windsor to Kitchener who will represent their federal riding associations at the June 14 to 17 leadership convention in ,Qttfwa.. . `• t'.. f, Mr. Chretien. the etiPtent energy minister, said there would be no "bickering" with the provinces, but he would also not be run by the provinces if he is prime minister. isle said he wouldn't apologize for taking on Quebec's Rene Levesque in the "Oui-Non referendum," Manitoba's Sterling Lyon on language rights and Newfoundland's Brian Peckford on the question of off -shore oil rights. On the off -shore oil rights, the leadership hopeful said the oil belongs to Canada and that he won't let Canadians freeze in the dark. "1 will • speak for the whole of the country," said Mr, Chretien. As for fiscal responsibility. he said he can be fiscally responsible and referred to his term as president of the treasury board when he was known as "Dr. No", But, he also said he wouldn't promise to reduce Canada's deficit, "You don't take money away from circulation when unemployment is at 1.4 million." He pointed to the United States where President Reagan, in 1980, promised a balanced budget. Mr. Chretien said that now, in 1984, the American deficit is at about $200 million. He also suggested that closing gas stations, would not be a positive step. Jean Chretien The energy minister defended his partici- pation in the Trudeau government by saying he has served both the Liberal Party and Canada well in his numerous portfolios. Mr. Chretien said his administration would be different from other administrations in that his would be an "open" government. During a question and answer period with the delegates, Mr. Chretien said while he wouldn't make any promises about cutting back federal civil servants, he said his own ministry has the smallest staff. At a time when he had more than one portfolio he had only four assistants while some other • ministers have 25 assistants. Mr. Chretien said jokingly. it Is easy to make him prime minister because he only has to move 24 inches or one seat over in the House of Commons. On the serious side, Mr. Chrefien met negative comments about his leadership campaign head-on. He said the people who say he shouldn't be prime minister because it would mean two consecutive Quebec PM's are narrow-minded. He Laid he doesn't have a mission (as Mr Turner has said) and he didn't tell a college professor he wanted to be prime minister (as Joe Clark allegedly did). Mr. Chretien sald hers runhing because he can "crush" Brian Mulroney in- an election. Mr. Chretien said he is "willing" and "ready" to be prime minister. Liberal meeting on June 27 The Perth Federal Liberal Riding Associa- tion will holds its nomination meeting on Wednesday, June 27 at the Stratford fairgrounds. The current two-way race for the Liberal candidacy between Bob McTavish of RRI, Stratford and Brian Innes of RR 2. St. Paul's will conclude that night. Bill Somerville of Stratford, president of Victoria and Grey. has said he is interested in seeking the candidacy. but has not committed himself either way, Mr. McTavish has been the Liberal candidate, running against Perth Progressive Conservative MP Bill Jarvis, in the past several elections. Mr. Jarvis' announcement in February of this year that he would not run in the next federal election has caused the race for the candidacy in both the Liberal and PC camps. The Perth NDP had elected Stu Baker of Stratford as their candidate, but recently Mr. Baker resigned for health reasons. The position has not yet been filled. Anyone wishing to vote at the Liberal nomination meeting has to have current membership one week prior to the meeting. A spokesman for the Perth association said the possibility of a guest speaker at the meeting is "up in the air" for now, ►N therrnJtO'' Shoes Selling Out Sale AIRCRAFT SPRAYING by Jim's Flying Service ON WHEAT—GRAIN—BEANS—CORN CONTINUES WITH FURTHER • REDUCTIONS UP TO 75% The loss of 2 bushels of grain per acre by ground equipment even under dry conditions pays for our service.
