Times-Advocate, October 120 1972 Page a: Students ask pointed questions Two of the four candidates in the Huron riding in the upcoming federal election were on the hot seat at South Huron District High School Tuesday morning. Huron M.P. Conservative sitting member Robert McKinley and Liberal candidate Charles Thomas answered questions from five students during the one hour session. Shirley Weary of the NDP and Socialist Ed Bain were unable to attend. The first question was fired at .4 143 it to4 -y 'got 4r # 4 1 • Mrs. Archie Wright pointing to storm damage at Poplar Beach 1'0 • Trees washed down steep cliff at Poplar Beach About 60 people attended a debate on agricultural policies sponsored by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Clinton last Thursday night. Taking part were Mrs. Shirley Weary, Goderich, NDP can- didate, Liberal candidate Charles Thomas, Brussels and Con- servative incumbent, Robert McKinley, Zurich, One of the major questions under discussion was that of the continuance of the small family farm in Ontario. "The major problem is to keep young farmers in agriculture, to encourage new young farmers and to keep them employed, rather than going off somewhere for other work," said Mr. McKinley. He said in order to make it easier for young people to take over the family farm, it would be necessary to reorganize the Farm Credit Corporation to provide for partial non- repayment of loans and to provide for deferred interest payments on all loans during an initial period. Mr. Thomas cited revisions to the Farm Credit Bill which do make it possible for a farmer to take a loan of up to $100,000. He outlined a small farm develop- ment program designed to help both those farmers who wish to sell their farms, and the young people who wish to buy them. Under this program, said Mr. Thomas, the government would purchase the farm from the farmer, and then would make it available to the young or new farmer just starting up, Mrs. Weary said that, one of the central issues of the election was the erosion of rural communities, She called for a need to strengthen the family farm and a policy to increase, rather than to deplete the farm population. She called the system of land inheritance "Preposterous". She explained that if a father wants to sell land to his son, he must pay such a large capital gains tax that it prohibits him from making the transfer. Parents use the land investment as a pension, she said. Because of the capital gains tax, they must sell it to get their money's worth, This then ex- cludes a son from inheriting the land unless he is willing to mortgage the land, and start off with an almost impossible debt from the start. Mr. Thomas said there are ways of getting around the capital gains tax if the father takes the son into the business, Thus the tax can be deferred to the next generation. Both the other two candidates said this was not a satisfactory solution, however, and called for complete revision of the situation, Another of the major questions under discussion at the meeting was the reinstatement of the sugar-beet industry in Ontario. Mr. Thomas said that many farmers still have the expensive, specialized equipment necessary for this industry, but they need a local plant to process the sugar, Mr. McKinley said that there is 0 company willing to put up a refinery, but that the reason it closed down in the first place was that the machinery involved was so expensive that the refinery wasn't getting enough beets from the farmer, He said what the sugar beet industry needs for re- establishment is federal government assurance that Canadians will devote 20 percent 0 • • • EXETER PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE MAIN AT VICTORIA Rev.

The trouble these days is that there's no arrest for the wicked. Men who are afraid of being ruined by success should get a job with the weather bureau, McKinley by Phyllis Taylor. The student from Usborne asked McKinley what he has done for Huron, what the Conservatives plan to do better than the Liberals and why Ontario Premier Bill Davis is cam- paigning for Robert Stanfield, The Huron MP listed his ac- complishments during his seven years in Ottawa particularly his position as chairman of the agriculture caucus committee. He said his committee made the federal marketing bill much better and he was very much responsible for the continuation of six day rural mail delivery. In answer to the question of Bill Davis campaigning for Stanfield, McKinley said, "thats' his business, he can work for whoever he wishes." McKinley suggested a Con- servative goverment would get along better with the United States saying, "President Nixon doesn't seem to trust Trudeau and I think he would rather see Stanfield as Prime Minister," In reply to what he would do if elected, Charles Thomas listed local development programs as one of his first projects. To the students he said, "We need the kind of employment for people who have education. I'm sure most of you would like to come back to Huron to work after graduating from university." "Huron's economy needs balancing. Agriculture is im- portant, but I believe a strong Speeders fined at special court It sometimes doesn't pay to hurry to work, An Exeter man, Kenneth S. Triebner, found that out at a special court sitting in Exeter, Friday, when he was fined $60 for speeding on June 12. He was clocked at a speed of 90 in a 60 zone and told the court he was hurrying to get to work. A fine of $50 each .was levied against two brothers, Lester and William Heywood. They entered pleas of guilty to a charge of trespass which had been laid by Peter Warkentin, owner of Les Pines Hotel in Exeter. The court learned the pair had been told they were prohibited from entry to the premises and were charged after entering it on August 25. Leo Boucher, Huron Park, was fined $30 for following another vehicle too closely after he was involved in an accident with a tractor and plow on September 13. He hit the plow, telling the court he did not see it. All other cases heard at the court sitting by Judge Glenn Hays were for speeding in- fractions and the following fines were levied: Antonio P. Manzara, London, $15; Dale E. Baochler, Goderich, $42; Walter F. Flink, Toronto, $15; Dale G. Fritsley, Goderich, $10; Barry Southcott, Exeter, $15; Edward henry Hagarty, London, $14; Robert Allan Mann, Clinton, $13. of their sugar comsumption to. that produced by Canadians. This way, local farmers would be more able to compete and more beets could be produced. The Liberal's Bill C176 came under attack at the meeting from the Conservative and NDP members, This bill, as outlined by Mr, Thomas, is enabling legislation which allows farmers to vote on a national marketing plan to tie all provincial plans together. There must, however, be a provincial majority in favor of the national plan. Mr, McKinley countered that it was obvious that the majority of provinces are not prepared to let the federal government take over their jurisdiction, and therefore, that the Prime Minister was just using the bill as an excuse to get the farmers separated, so they couldn't get together. Mrs, Weary agreed, saying that a national organization 'would definitely have much more power than a fractured provin- cial system, and perhaps the government was afraid of this power. A surprise guest at the meethig was Ed Bain, Goderich, who said he was a qualified socialist candidate in the upcoming election and asked to Speak. Under a socialist government, he said, farmers could have "complete say over what they produce". He said education and medicare would be free; there would be earlier pensions, shorter working weeks; arts end the social science would flourish., and the causes of drug use and excessive use of alcohol would disappear, "Socialism is the answer to all OUP problems", he said. federal voice would help development growth," he added, Ed Farwell wanted to know who was telling the truth when the Liberals say the economy is good and the Conservatives talk about unemployment and in- flation. Thomas answered first saying, "I'm the first to admit there are many things we should be doing to improve the economy." He continued, "People like you can help with programs you want. We've been told Trudeau doesn't listen. I find him a man who listens very well and likes to listen to people who know what they're talking about. He's a very receptive listener." In his reply McKinley said, "What's wrong with the economy? There's plenty wrong when university graduates con't find jobs. I've had persons with BA's and graduate engineers come to me looking for em- ployment help." In reply to a question from Larry Hess concerning the Canadian Radio Television Commission McKinley said he was responsible for getting cable TV in Goderich and Clinton. Thomas said he would like to see radio, TV and cable under one jurisdiction but could see problems with cablecasts because of control of education by the provinces. He continued, "Enforcement of the Canadian content law has provided many more jobs for Canadian talent." Thomas said the question regarding capital punishment posed by John Creses was a difficult one."I was against it at one time, still am in some degree. I think bank tellers should be protected as policemen and I'm not too sure in cases of hijacking and treason. I haven't reconciled this in my own mind," the Liberal candidate continued. McKinley replied, "I voted against the abolition of capital punishment. The law has not been upheld as there has been no hangings since 1963. I would be in favour of something that could be adhered to," The final question from Tony Kyle as to "what will you do?" brought the following reply from McKinley. "Our party would create more jobs, make more money available for people and not take it away. People should be encouraged to work and not go on welfare. We would make a reduction personal income taxes immediately and do away with the 11 percent federal tax on building materials." Thomas said there should be a better way of reporting unem- ployment numbers. "Of the six percent unemployed two percent are heads of families, the others are second and third wage ear- ners in the family. They can be more selective in taking jobs." He continued,“This is a complex problem, we have to work at the solutions." Student Council president Donald Noakes was moderator of the program. • Area youths take awards Members of the Exeter 4-H horse and pony club cleaned up most of the honours at Saturday's fall fair in Fordwich. The local youngsters were competing against winners from the Blyth and Howick clubs. Wayne Preszcator won the showmanship award in the horse division with Holme Dale Princess and also took the overall showman grand championship. Trudy Johns was the best pony showman with Perkey Princess and also was named reserve grand showman. The reserve horse showmanship was won by Janet Ecker showing Shalid while Steve Preszcator with Stnokey's Girl took the reserve pony showmanship title. Six steers still AWOL About six steers from the feedlot of Usborne Township farmer Bob Down are still on the loose. The animals were among the 150 which had to be turned loose when fire gutted a feedlot pole barn on September 27. Neighbors spent about three days getting the bulk of the animals back to the Down farm and during the past week another eight were rounded up. The whereabouts of some of the six still on the loose are known, but getting them home is another matter. Bob spotted three of them Saturday, but when he returned to round them up, they had disappeared again. Two were found near Morrison Dam and were being driven to a nearby farm and one managed to elude its captors and is still missing. "They're just a little cautious," when you start chasing them, Bob told the T-A Monday night, adding that the chore of silo filling and bean harvesting is cutting down on the time he can spend searching for them. • EXETER UNITED CHURCH James at Andrew Minister: Rev.
