THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL; LUCKNOW, ONTARIO WEDNESDAY,, MARCH lt
Mr. Wells was one of five cabinet ministers in the riding
of Huron that same day in support of the Conservative candi-
date and he had every right to be there.
But when he chooses to mix his position of Ontario Minister
of Education with political manoeuvring for a particular candi-
date, then that is a horse of different colour.

Last week Ontario Education Minister Thomas Wells paid
a visit to Huron County. Teachers and school board officials
were invited to meet with Mr. Wells in a "non political" dialogue
session at Goderich' arena.
The meeting was advertised as a "non political" one as
Mr.. Wells and the Conservative Government in Toronto certainly
didn't want the meeting to be, in any way associated with this
week's byelection in Huron.
If Mr. Wells had truly been interested in' Huron County,
its 'teachers and its educators, he would , have come to Huron
last Fan, next -summer or next year. But Mr. Wells' visit to
Huron less than a week before an important byelection was an
insult to the intelligence of Huron residents.
Apparently Huron County teachers and educators were
not swayed by this "non political bologna'' as only about 60
turned out for the meeting.
Perhaps Mr. Wells need be reminded that he is NIiniSter
of Education for all the people in Ontario and this recent messy
piece of polities is not becoming to such a trust.
