The Lucknow Sentinel, 1973-03-14, Page 2•-• pAoi: 1W 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. •••••••••*•••••4,•••••t•••••••••••••••••4••• WITH. MARGARET THOMPSON *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••,••••••••••• 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.
