The growing acceptance of the influence of the environment on mental health--both personal and collective--makes it essential that we examine the health facilities in our community. These include all the health, social, recreation and personal services which are available in our community e.g. doctors, nurses, teachers, ministers, hospitals, social agencies,' associations and municipal councils, Is there a difference between psychiatry and community psychiatry? Is man indepen- dent or inter-dependent? Is optimum hap- piness only achieved by being a member of a worthwhile group? Can the environment be manipulated in a way that will improve hetlIth and reduce stress in this modern speedy age?

Only 60 people showed up to hear the four candidates speak on the issues of the elec- tion and answer questions from' the. audience, Mason Bailey, president of the Huron Federation of Agriculture, said that the lack of interest could be attributed to the weather which had improved Thursday enabling many farmers to finally get at silo filling or the white bean harvest. Liberal candidate Charlie Thomas said that the Liberal Government was willing to start up the sugar beet industry in Huron County but that a processing plant was needed first. He said also that setting up a corn marketing board was a provincial matter. "The Federal Government could offer, however, cash advances to farmers who store their own corn." He said that some organization would have to be set up by the farmers in order to get the grants, The Federal Government only makes grants to organizations not individual farmers. Bob McKinley Progressive Conservative candidate in Huron and this constituency's member of Parliament for 'the last seven years said that agriculture has been his main concern since he went to Ottawa. He has been deputy agricultural whip for the PC's for several years. Mr. McKinley refuted Mr. Thomas's statement about the availability of a sugar beet processing plant. He said there was already a plant available at Chatham but what was needed was a quota that stipulated that 20 percent of all sugar produced in Canada be made from Canadian produced sugar beets. "Farmers couldn't plan what they would gravy., because the floor price of beets-was set froms, year to year, Shirley Weary (Mrs,) the NDP candidate, was the third candidate to speak and she said New Democratic government would halt the erosion of the rural community and restore the farm to the family, Among other things, she said that the NDP would set up legislation to investigate the high cost and poor quality of farm machinery, look into establishing a farm market and price con- trol system and encourage more young people to go into farming by offering low in- terest long term loans.

Ed Bain, an independent socialist can- didate from Goderich, then asked if he could speak. Mr. Bain hadn't been invited by the Federation to speak but was allowed to do so. He told the audience that if he was elec- ted, he would strive for a socialist govern- ment that would eliminate welfare, unem- ployment and poor pay to farmers. He said that everyone would have a fair income and no one would want for food or other essentials. He would also end foreign control of the economy. Following their speeches the three invited candidates fielded questions from the audience. The greatest concern expressed by the audience was over the proposed capital gains tax on farms and how it would affect the farmer who was either selling out or passing the farm onto his children. All three candidates felt it would be proper if a far- mer could pass the farm on to his children without too much tax and Charlie Thomas said that there will be no tax on a farm if it didn't increase a certain amount every year planning act calls for at least 58 feet from the roadway to the sign.

The letter from Pembroke said that their council "expressed concern about the level of license currently evident in the motion picture, Tv, and book publishing industry." Before council passed the motion, Coun- cillor Atkinson said that it was "quite an ex- perience to go into a store and see a young person looking at a copy of Playboy."

Reeve Lobb said it was "the only jail of its kind in North America and busloads of children from all over the continent could come and see it." Deputy Reeve Cook who fought the move at County Council last week said that "we (County Council) turned down the Van Ed- mond project in Seaforth so why should we accept this one," Councillors Armstrong and Atkinson felt the $25,000 estimated annual upkeep of the' jail would be too much of a burden on County taxpayers and the museum "would benefit Goderich more than it would Clin- ton. Mayor Symons retorted that it would be "another plus for Huron County." Council instructed Clerk Cam Proctor to write to the Ontario Municipal board and try to find out why Clinton was charged $643 for a 15 minute hearing.
