Mother of four chosen as NDP candidate Shirley Weary, a mother ok four from Goderich and a secondary school teacher at Central Huron • Secondary School in Clinton, was chosen by acclamation last Wednesday night as the New Democratic Party candidate for Huron in the October 30 federal election. This will represent Mrs. Weary's second attempt in • federal politics having run tin- successfully for the NDP in the federal contest of 1968. In her acceptance speech Mrs, Weary told the nomination meeting that unemployment was • Proper care of skates By Jack Underwood president Exeter Figure Skating Club The start of a new winter season will mean many feet have grown over the summer and new skates will be necessary. A few hints on skate fitting may be in order, Many weak ankles are a result of skates bought oversized so they will fit for a longer period of time. A properly fitted skate will mean a great deal to a beginner when learning to skate. If you purchase second • hand skates, be sure there is some support left at the heel and a proper fit. ' Care of Skates: Use a good grade of leather preservative periodically to soften and preserve the leather, Polish the shoes during the season with a • good grade of shoe polish. Hockey boots may need frequent applications of leather preservative or shoe polish if they are being used regularly. Figure'boots are not usually in contact with the ice as much as hockey skates thus they may not require as much leather preservative or polish. the first issue of the election, "More than half a million people in this country are without jeba," she said. "When you have a country as rich as Canada, there ought to be work for those able to do it. When someone is unem- ployed, he is not the only one who loses. Society, that is, you and I, have to keep him and his family going, and the country loses what he would have produced had he been working." The N.D.P. candidate said that full employment and job security top the list of goals for the New Democrats, "The N,D.1:). would Figure Care of Blades: When you finish skating, always dry your blades thoroughly by wiping them off with absorbent towelling or a soft chamois: This will prevent rusting, Do not put wet guards back on dry skates. Always wear guards on your skates when you are not on the ice. Hockey skates may require frequent sharpening. A good edge is required for those quick stops and fast starts to say nothing of the turns, During the course of a game or practice there are many opportunities for the blades to come in contact with hard objects which will wear down the edges, Figure skates need only be sharpened when a skater cannot hold an edge. They should not be sharpened immediately before a test day, but rather two or three weeks before so a skater can become accustomed to the new edges. Some care and attention to these points should help to give more enjoyment to your skating whether it is with hockey or figure skating or simply for pleasure. use public funds to build jobs for people, not profits for cor- porations," r MsWeary also discussed the problems of the consumer noting that consumers were facing almost unbelievable problems. Over half the price they pay for food products, she charged is made up of processing, packaging and distribution costs, "In addition to the packaging and advertising," she said, "consumers are also paying for the growing profits of the supermarket. The consumer is lured to "sales" by special low prices, not realizing that prices of other products in the store are raised to compensate for the "specials." "In theory," Mrs. Weary noted, "the consumer is protected from collusion to maintain high prices by the Combines investigation Act, but the Act does not cover many services and goods, and is seldom applied in a way that protects the consumer," "The Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs," she said, "is also in theory, protecting the Consumer's interests. Perhaps, it is really there to protect the corporations affairs, At any rate it has the power only to "suggest" changes." Stressing that she wished to seek election as a human being and not as a woman Mrs. Weary touched on the matter of Women's Rights. "In theory, women are equal with men in Canada," she said, "but governments, employers, and even our system of education have obstructed women from participating in society fully as they may choose," "Although one third of Canada's labour force is female," the candidate pointed out, "this group earns only one fifth of the country's income. Women also comprise one third of the Public Service employees, but only six per cent of middle management," In the matter of day care Mrs. Weary said that the NDP would join with the provinces to build a large number of day care centres so that mothers can enter the labour force without anxiety over their children's well being. Mrs. Weary also discussed the problems facing farmers and those who make their living through agriculture. She said the New Democrats believed there to be positive steps which can be taken to meet the problems of agriculture and rural life. "As NDP government would act to stabilize the agricultural population at a level which will support a reasonable range of rural services, to stop the drift from farms," Mrs. Weary promised. "Regulations, controls and standardization of farm machinery would be im- plemented to stabilize production costs and capital costs would be reduced by creating public land lease. banks available to farmers for Mrs. Weary also charged that a "lack of sensible planning has In a Belfast home without a maid and seldom with a guest, the young son was very anxious to help his mother when his father appeared with two dinner guests. When the dinner was nearly over, the child went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest. The boy came in with a second piece and gave it to his father, who gave it to the other guest. That was too much for the youngster, and he piped up: "It's no use, dad" the pieces are all the same size." forced our young people to turn their backs on rural Canada and head for the crowded cities. The NDP is determined to reverse this trend and preserve the way of life of the family farm," In concluding her remarks Mrs. Weary said, "The NAP does not pretend to have all the an- swers but we do offer a com- mitment to ordinary people of Canada, a determination to place their needs and aspirations ahead of corporate profits, a program to build an independent Canada of equality and compassion," The 38 year old candidate was born in the District of Tem iskaming and spent her childhood in Renfrew County. She worked in Ottawa and Hamilton as a stenographer, private secretary and office manager before becoming a teacher. Mrs. Weary taught elementary school for one year and secondary school for eight years. She has been married to David Weary for the past 19 years and is the mother of two sons and two daughters, She graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1971 with a B.A. in Psychology, Guest speaker at the nomination meeting was Dr. Ted Bounsall, MPP, for Windsor West and Labor Critic for the NDP in the Ontario Legislature. "Our issue," Dr, Bounsall said, "that of taxation and the cor- porate welfare bums, or the corporate rip-off, has become the crucial issue in this campaign," "Income taxes paid by you," he charged, "could be drastically reduced if the corporations paid their fair share." Corporate revenues in 1971, the MPP told the meeting, represented only 15 per cent of the federal income, and since federal handouts to corporations for "economic development and support" also represented 15 per cent of government expenditure, the net contribution by the cor- porate sector was nil, "The Liberal Party's cam- paign funds come from the corporate sector," Dr. Bounsall explained, "primarily from 95 corporations, according to a I.,ondon Ontario fund raiser. Last week, at public expense, John Turner's Finance Department sent letters to over 400 businessmen criticizing David Lewis' stand, I wonder if it was to ensure that campaign funds still came in or if they were simply trying to up their ante?" "In 1969," the guest speaker charged, "nearly half of the 200,000 corporations paid no income tax at all. Some, ad- mittedly small corporations, which made no profits and are struggling to become established, are understa ndably temporarily in need of nil tax payment. But also included in this category are nine out of 32 petroleum companies, eight out of 27 distilleries, three out of 32 breweries and 33 out of 88 trust companies." In the area of family farms and farm income, Dr. Bounsall said the NDP rejected the conclusion of federal planners that the number of farms must be reduced by two thirds, "Family farming is a way of life that enriches Canadian society," he said, "and must be protected against corporate farming and hobby farming." "For action on issues of unemployment, cost of living, housing and food prices, old age pensions of $150 a month without a means test, and increases in family allowances in line with the cost of living, Canada needs more New Democrats," he concluded.
