United Staes did, but interest rates were raised, to counteract inflation. In this past year, U.S. inflation has been running between 12 and 13 i percent and. we've.been 9 percent. I think it$ time we stopped following the New York interest rates, l don't think we have to be ' 16% percent," Mr. Craig said. Hp pointed okit 'how many sales there were at Christmas and said having a sales businesS with a high inventory and paying high interest is a tremendous hardship on the small business if people aren't buying, because they are payirig high interest rates. For farmers, he says the high interest rates put. them in a cost squeeze , because they have to`pay off the bank and at .the same time be productive. He said since farmers (in most cases) can't set their aim prices, it makes it more 'difficult to product at a profit. Mr. Craig said he didn't think the biidget was all bad and said he agreed with' the deduction for farm wives helping on the farm and that he agreed with the capital gains proposal on selling a farm, 'but their energy part concerned him.

Liberal's way ahead of the Coneervatiyes and when asked abeut the validity, of such polls prediaitieg a Liberal win, Mr, ,Craig said,, "They go' by ,them but you ,never know till election night. They're supposed to be accurate within four per centage points, ,19 out of 20 times. I guess election night tells the tale." ' ' When asked' what people's reaction to a second election in Stich a short time ,has been, Mr. Craig said, "It was an election that nobody seemed to want, but it's here, and I think people are certainly gearing up now with' just three weeks to go." As for possible voter apathy because, it's the second election in e year and a winter one; Mr. Craig said he thinks when new candidates are running, and its a good day, that most people turn Out quite well for ,Plections, so unless there's a terrible storm,-• he assumes there will be a good voter turnout. , Mr. Craig added a few comments, one, other issues saying, that he thinks there is a, tense world situation. , "We have been a respected neutral country and we have been able to offer some viewpoints on international decisions in the past and this is probably more important than anything because of the tenseness. • Ertergy .concerns Craig MI MI III IIII IIIII MIN MOM III IIIII n re It took o long time coming.., but it's finally here.

Then, each member will have a chance to put their new-found talent into practice by making a free-choice article which can be an accessory for their bedroom or an accessory for themselves.
