Paul Carroll is a busy man for Huron NDP Huron New Democratic candidate, Paul Carroll, has been a very busy man this past week. On Tuesday, October 5, Mr. Carroll travelled to Wingham for a taping session at the studios of CKNX TV, At noon on Wednesday the sixth, he was at the Goderich District Collegiate Institute, for a meeting with some of the new young voters of Ontario, "I found them to be informed, thinking young people," he stated. During his taping session at CKNX TV, Mr. Carroll stated that in his campaign to date, Huron New Democrats have found more and more citizens are turning to the New Democratic Party for answers to many of their problems. "One area of concern, and a source of a great many questions, has been with regard to our stand on automobile insurance," he noted. Mr. Carroll commented on this topic recently saying, "Most of us will remember the summer '71 barrage of legislation at Queen's Park, which included a very questionable "No.Fsault" insurance Bill." "The Bill failed so miserably in its impact," he said, "that even the insurance industry was not satisfied." "The job is only half done", and "Present proposals do not go far enough", were but two comments from the July issue of the Canadian Underwriter, Mr. Carroll pointed out, Reeve Carroll offered the following criticism of that Bill: "It fails to make auto insurance compulsory; the Bi11 fails to extend the "No-Fault" principle to property damage; it fails to set up a regulatory body to control rates and increases; and the benefits are not only incomplete and insufficient, but also discriminatory — particularly against women and pensioners," he said. "In fact, it is true to say that Ontario lags far behind the rest of the country in its auto insurance legislation," the candidate said. The New Democrats, he pledged, ate prepared to offer a proven and a successful alternative, "We look to the brilliant simplicity of the Saskatchewan plan — basic insurance coverage sold with the licence plates at rates based on the size and age of the car and on the record of the driver, and that's not just the NDP blowing its horn," he said. "As far back as 1962, Consumer Reports called it 'the best car insurance buy in North America'," he said, "Manitoba has since followed with a similar plan and we propose such a plan for the people of Ontario," he said. "Based on the record in other Provinces, we do not hesitate in assuring Ontario citizens a premium saving of up to 20%; but the claim that it will save you money is not the essential advantage that we are striving for," Mr. Carroll stressed. "It has several other advantages," he pointed out, "it guarantees protection to everyone; it cuts out delays and establishes equitable premium rates." "It would take care of the "No-Fault" principle in a sensible way, look after property damage claims more efficiently, and, above all, the lengthy court battles and legal entanglements would be virtually eliminated," he concluded. "We do not hesitate to suggest that there is still a place for private insurance, and the door will be left open for private and competitive supplementary coverage." A final word to the insurance agents whose security seems threatened: "It should go without saying that the New Democratic Patty is concerned with the economic security experienced by all groups in our society, The best evidence is in our sister province, Manitoba, The transition is being made smoothly with a Lull compensation scheme being effected where necessary," Mr. Carroll explained. "Public auto insurance is but one small part of the meaningful changes we propose for Ontario. It is one part, however, of a programme that puts people first. In this election, the people of Huron can be part of that change by voting New Democrat on October 21," Mr. Carroll said.

WOODS The shadows are lengthening across the lawn which has never been so green as this year. The days are closing ini But this autumn, with so much turmoil in the world, Lucy has been enjoying as never before the peaceful scene in the garden, About the middle of August the baby house wrens opposite Lucy's bedroom window were teetering in the opening to their nest. They had ideas about going out into the big cruel world but just hadn't the courage and would disappear inside until Mr, or Mrs. brought another insect. They made many trips to keep their young fed. The older, stronger fledglings would reach out every time, but Mama knew which one had had food and which hadn't and she showed no favouritism. Often she took the insect from Mr. Wren and he flew off for another. After watching them that day, Lucy said, "They'll tumble out of the nest one after the other early tomorrow morning, and be gone." Her predictions came true! Carl looked out and remarked, "Isn't it lonesome without them?" No longer did they hear Mr, Wren's proud trill to the world. But Carl said that they hung around in the shrubs for a few days. Lucy hopes that the two cats which hunt in this area didn't catch any of them, One is a pet, black with white paws, and the other torn cat lives under Willock's cottage. It sometimes strolls up the driveway as Carl and Lucy are eating in the sun room and casts his green eyes at them in a baleful glance — good thing we are not superstitious. We need the cats to keep down the field mice, but it angers one to see them crouching for birds. Last week a Winter wren stayed around for a few days and greeted Carl early and late when he went to read the thermometer, but he, too, has passed on, although in years gone by they have stayed here. So many birds visit the garden in migration to feed and rest for a few days. A pair of brown creepers have been systematically hunting insects going up and around the trunk of the maple tree. They fly down and start up again, Lucy hopes they found them all. The new little birch tree fell victim to a plague of leaf miner in the summer, so she misses the goldfinches, warblers and other insect-hunting birds lighting in the tree to inspect the leaves. One of the enjoyable quiet scenes in the late summer was watching a family of robins, Mr. and Mrs. Robin red breast and five young came to feed in the evening. It was amusing to watch the young robins, fully grown only identified by their speckled breasts, hopping here and there the full length of the lawn, emulating their parents. They'd stop, cock their heads this way and that, (although one knew they weren't hearing a worm) and then pick into the grass inanely, their bills never digging into the soil. But they were learning by watching their parents as all children do. It took mama robin to pull out a big fat dew worm after a tremendous struggle. Papa robin put a white grub in Junior's bill one night. For a few minutes the young bird just sat there holding it and looking slightly bewildered before swallowing. He was past the stage where he held his mouth open wide for a bit of food to be pushed into his throat by the adult bird. Those robins which were hatched and grew up in the garden at "The Hut" have now started on their way south. But there will be more from the north stay a day or so later on. Monarch butterflies were still observed in the garden on October 5. They were either clinging to some vine in a haven from the winds or had passed on to Point Pelee for migration the end of the week. Recently there have been one or two yellow shafted flickers, and one day about seven, digging their long bills into the lawn, The word must have been spread that there was a good supply of ants there. We watched one stay in one spot feeding for so long one evening that Lucy decided he'd found an ant hill. One day about nine sparrows, including white crowned, white throat fox and English sparrows were having a merry time bathing in the small bird bath, They sent the water flying one of those warm days. And then another day Lucy observed some digging little holes into a pile of soil and fluffing it into their feathers just like an old hen in sand or a wood ash bin. The blue jays have been announcing a change of weather. And frost could blacken the flowers and ruin the squash anytime, The gray days are bound to come after such a delightful summer and early fall.

CARL HEMINGWAY So we are going to have a provincial election on October 21, 19711 We have some serious thinking to do in order to make a good decision. I'm taking it for granted that we do want to make a good decision. Of course, we might be too lazy. You know the old story — my grandfather was a bachelor, my father was a bachelor and I'm going to vote the same way. , It really is easy and relieves us of any responsibility. If it turns out well we can pride ourselves in our great family tradition. If it turns out badly we can ask, like the first grader when he showed his report card, "Dad what's wrong? Is it environment or heredity? There of course is another traditional way of deciding how to vote, It's always easier to find things we don't like. Davis didn't remove education tax from farm property so we won't vote Conservative. Lewis is going to take over the auto insurance and our 32nd cousin sells car insurance so we won't vote for him. Nixon? Well he hasn't done anything for the past four years so there's nothing to vote against so we vote Liberal. Quite a simple matter of elimination and we can take pride in our reasoning in deciding how to vote, Of course there is another way to make our decision. Unfortunately it does take some time and considerable thought. First we can take time out to learn as much as possible about each candidate. What do we think of his ability to make good decisions in the interests of the people of Ontario and Canada? Will he support the best or the most popular thing? What is his party's statement of policy? What things are most important to the well being of the people? What are the prospects of his party being willing and able to keep their election promises? We need to plan on getting as much information from radio and T.V. 'as possible. We should take time out to read each party's statement of policy on as wide a variety of problems as they are willing to give. After all this we should decide the things we like about each party's policy and then vote for the candidate that fulfils most of our wishes. Let's take this election seriously and vote for something. FASHION/CANADA ..
