The committee includes William Harris, Chairman of the Winghana 'Police; Wayne Ellis, Chairman of the Seaforth Pollee; Don Symons, Chairman of the Clinton Police; Bruce Shaw, Chairman of the Exeter Police; and Harry Worsen, Chairman of the Goderich. Bruce Shaw, spokesman for the group said, "We are asking County Council to request the Solicitor General to conduct a study on policing in Huron County. We thought that if council asked for the study, PP behalf of the whole county, the appeal would be more effective than a request from the municipalities." The committee will suggest possible alternatives to the recommendations contained in the task force report on policing in Ontario. The task force recommended that all municipalities under 15,000 he policed by the OPP only and all ether forces be disbanded. "We want to see if that is best for Huron County," Shaw said, Shirley Weary Weary wins NDP support The Huron-Middlesex New Democratic Party Association acclaimed Mrs. Shirley Weary of Goderich Tuesday night as their candidate in the July federal election. This is the third time the 39- year-old Clinton high school teacher has run for this riding on the NDP ticket. It has been held since 1965 by Conservative Robert McKinley. Guest speaker for the evening was Fred Young, NDP MPP for Yorkview. He told the small gathering that "what David Lewis had warned about has finally happened". "The corporate rip-off has resulted in wild inflation," he said, Shortages of products are deliberately created by the large corporations, he said, in order to force prices up. Young accused the cor- porations producing timber, oil, steel and food of getting together and setting prices at artificially high levels. "You still hear the Liberals and the Tories talk of the free en- terprise system," he said. "But today there is no such thing as free competition, unless it's in the corner grocery store." In her acceptance speechs,'Mist.:' Weary also attacked the, cor- porations saying she supported complete and immediate with- drawal of tax concessions for oil companies. Her basic philosophy, she said is that "people matter more than corporations". Mrs. Weary said that her campaigning would be taking place only after school hours and she expects "good gains" this year.

Strain called the upcoming election the "most important in our history" and said he hoped an end would come to the minority situation with a return to the two- party system in Canada.

Funeral Services were held in the Port Elgin Baptist Church on Wednesday May 29, Interment was in Tara Cemetery. Guest speaker for the evening was. Dr. Mark MacGeigall, Liberal MP for the riding of Windsor-Walkerville. Following one of the Main election strategies of the Liberals, he denounced the irresponsibility of the opposition parties in forcing the upcoming July 8 election. He termed NDP leader David Lewis a "political jelly fish" who was "flopping around without any backbone' . He said Lewis found it necessary to tour across Canada before the election campaign even started to get his version across to the people before the facts were made known to them. He said the irresponsibility of the Conservatives was not quite as apparent, although he likened Mr. Stanfield to Pavlov's dog, suggesting he was consumed by a lust for power, Every time the division bells rang in the past 18 months, Mr. Stanfield was like a dog slob- bering for power with every vote, the Windsor lawyer explained: He said the Conservative election strategy was to keep Mr. Stanfield from the people and suggested he would be reading prepared speeches written by someone else. MacGuigan said this con- trasted markedly with the open campaign style employed by Mr. Trudeau. Mr. Stanfield was described to the audience as a man who couldn't communicate. "He (Stanfield) can't decide what to think, therefore he can't decide what to say," MacGuigari charged. He went on to say that leadership was the big issue in the campaign as electors would have to decide which party had the leadership to deal with Canada's problems. "The record of Bob McKinley doesn't count," he advised. "The election is about parties and leadership". The former dean of the Windsor University law school noted that the PC platform of wage and price controls was drawing many "big business" candidates, but added that the policy appears ,to be deteriorating in view of recent comments made by Mr. Stan- field. "Stanfield can't make up his own mind, so how can he make up the mind for Canada?" MaeGuigan asked, adding that the PC leader had been a disaster as an oppostion leader and "we know he can't handle the power of Cash taken from hardware store About $20 in cash was stolen in a break-in at Gunn's Home Hardware on Exeter's Main street sometime Tuesday night. Investigation by Constable George Robertson is continuing. The sale of bicycle licences continues this week. In the only motor vehicle ac- cident this week, a vehicle owned by John Daniel, 213 Marlborough street was struck by an unknown vehicle. Constable Robertson set damages at $50. government, because he couldn't handle the power of being Leader of the Opposition", In one of his few positive approaches to the campaign, MacGuigan said the Liberals were still of the opinion that the real solution to inflation was to increase production, "This has meaning, par- ticularly for the farmers," he said, but 'added that farmers can't produce when they are not getting a fair return. The Liberals will ensure they get a fair return "all the time" for what they produce. With that incentive they will produce, Mr. MacGuigan predicted. Two of the other speakers on the agenda were Liberal MPPs Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell. Gaunt said he bad been checking into inflation in stores and found that Stanfield un- derwear had increased in price by 50 percent in the last two years, "If he caret control inflation in his underwear (a pause here strew laughter) industry, there's little hope of him doing anything across the country," the Huron- Bruce .MPP suggested. Riddell, who was elected Huron MPP in last year's by-election, predicted a win by Mr. Trudeau and charged there was no reason to have an election at this time, The Dashwood area farmer noted the candidate winning the nomination "has his work cut out for him", predicting it would be a tougher job than he faced in contesting the by-election, "We weren't turfing out a government or a sitting mem- ber," Riddell explained, Come On Home AILSA CRAIG CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS August 2, 3, 4, 5 - 1974 Watch for completo proprom j.L
