RC takes on two Liberals
at QFU. political meeting
Huron PC candidate Charlie
MacNaughton took on two Liber-
al opponents -and, in the early
stages at least, OFU ?'resident
Gordon Hill—Monday night at
Blyth ina public debate which
at times got as hot as the tem-
perature.
It was billed as another OFU
education meeting and candi-
dates :from both Huron and
Huron -Bruce ridings were in-
vited to take part in debate and
a question andanswer period,
Liberals Harry Strang and Rae
J, Watson, appeared. but Mr. Mac-
Naughton's PC cohort :from the
north, John Hanna, was unable
to .attend " due to previous com-
mitments."
Right off the bat, MacNaugh-
ton became. piqued at what were
supposed to be "non-political"
remarks of Mr. Hill which con-
tained poiiti: for point many of
the planks in the Liberal farm
platform,
However, Mr. Hill somewhat
re-established, his independence
later by backing Harry Strang
into a corner over, his support
for voluntary marketing boards.
Hill also got: Rae Watson over
a barrelwhen the candidate sug-
gested the .last hog vote was not
a "fair and square legal vote."
Harry Strang revived the pro-
vincial hospital: issue and, by
persistence, got details of. the
awarding of the digging con•
tract, lenders :for which were
solicited by telephone. The Lib'
eral candidate suggested the
tenders should have been adver-
tised in the. newspapers. Mac-
Naughtori offeredto let him see
his complete file of the pro-
ceedings in connection with work
at the hospital.
About 120 persons sat ;ter three
hours in the sweltering hall,
obviously enjoying the repartee.
A number of them participated
irlthe question and answer per. -
rod afterwards, but this portion
of the 'program was marred by
the introducton of .a number of
topic which didn't apply to the
provincial' scene.
The procedure of the debate
was rather unusual partly be-
cause it was a two -against -one
battle. The gov't candidate was
given 15 minutes to open the
discussion; the opposition candi-
dates each received 15 minutes,
too. After Mr. MacNaughton
was awarded the. usual five min-
utes for rebuttal the two pposi-
tion men were also given five-
minute rebuttals each.
saying he was- glad he was told
OF1J was non-political "because
I could have sworn :from ..what
Mr. Hill was saying that he was
running for office,"
The PC candidate then dealt
with the agricultural accomplish-
ments under the Frost adminis-
tratio.n and answered some of the
criticism he had heard offered
by the opposition.
