Peter VanBree's apple storage where they learned of proceedings by telephone, Ferguson, an Alvinston area farmer was not 'con- tested in the nomination, Riding president .Bill Swan thanked Jack McDonald, Leigh. Crozier, Ronn Dodge and Tom Welder for their interest in the nomination. Rumours had .been cir- culating that those men had been seeking the post. In his acceptance speech, Ferguson attacked Joe Clark. He said' that the defeat of the government was planned by Tory strategists • to catch the Liberal party without a leader. He said that Joe Clark has 'tarnished the image of Canadiansi with his, , "rash of broken promises." Feguson i said that Crosbie's budget would only lead to an inflationary sprial, and "the interest rates would bankrupt young farmers and businessmen." Ferguson said he will be supportive of farmers and small businessmen. He said tor his work in the notonal agricultural policies. .Feguson has been involved with the Liberal party for several years, He is married, and has three sons. and .a daughter. .. AfterFer.guson.'s nomination, the Liberal audience was entertained with al, speech by MP Bob ,Daudlin who. was acclaimed as Liberal candidate in, Essex-Kent. Daudlin war, med .up, the enthusiastic crowd by telling that the prinr minister has been taken to, hospital - with another broken promise stuck in his threat. Daudlin accused Clark of breaking up the country by giving special benefits to. various provin- ces. He agreed that the provinces have .to be strong, but he said that is the reason we have provincial govern- ments. About 1200 people crowded into Alvinston arena last Wednesday night to see incumbent Ski Fraleigh be acclaimed as Conservative candidate in Lambton- Middlesex, and hear Prime Minister Joe Clark speak. Fraleigh's acclamation Was known last Monday night because the rules state that all nominations have to be filed 48 hours before the meeting. The 47 year old hog farmer and former president of the Pork Producers Marketing Board said that this is an election that no one, particularly the elec- torate, wants. Fraleigh turned the family farm in Bosanquet township over to his sons, and pur- chased a new home in Port Franks after winning the May 22 election from in- cumbent Larry Condon. Fraleigh poked fun at the Liberal's "ressurection of a flip-flop leader" and the "socialists promising Utopia which they know they won't have to give." On the stage with Fraleigh were a number of dignitaries including provincial Minister of Agriculature Lorne Henderson, MPP for Lambton. After a long wait, Clark came to the stage, and took up Fraleigh's criticisms for the Liberal party. "They're playing hide your leader. The Liberals started the new year by ringing in the old," Clark said. Clark defended his government's budget, calling it "honest and realistic," Clark said that because the farm often represents the farmer's main savings for future years, the farmer should be able to sell it without capital gains tax. Clark said that the Liberals gave separatism a climate in which to grow in Quebec, He said the Tories recognize that the provinces have rights and would treat Attendance at Lambton Heritage Museum in 1979 was up 47 percent over the previous year, museum curator Bob Tremain an- nounced last week in his an- nual report. "Less than one quarter of this growth can be accounted for by the four ad- ditional months of operation in the spring of 1979. The remaining 35 percent represents actual visitor growth realized through a comprehensive advertising campaign and group promotions throughout the region," Tremain said. The museum. located south of Grand Bend on highway 21 opened in May 1978, and has had a steady in- crease in visitors since then. Tremain said that most them as partners, He said that Levesque's support had dropped during the Con- versative's short time in office. Clark also told the rural audience that Agricultural minister John Wise was supposed tg be in the orient right now arranging sales of Canadian agricultural commodities. But becairse the Liberals wanted an election, Wise was unable to make the trip, Clark said. museums in Ontario, par- ticularly those in Southwestern Ontario, were forced to repprt lower over- all attendance. In his annual report, Tre- main attributed the growth to group promotions and advertising. He said that some 400 mailouts were sent to church groups, seniors clubs, Women's Institutes and tour groups throughout Southwestern Ontario. The museum designed a special program for primary school children, including a' slide show, tour and pioneer craft activities. This session involved the children actual- ly trying their hands at butter making, quilting, can- dle dipping, and shingle splitting. This program was presented at Professional Development Days outlined in teacher newsletters. The museum toured 116 busloads of clubs, classes and groups - a total of 87 more busloads than last year. Tremain said that a multi- media advertising campaign worth $5400 attracted many new visitors to the museum. Half of the costs were donated by local radio stations, newspapers and tourist guides. Wintario matched their amount to cover total costs. Tremain said that a 'sur- vey showed 20 percent of the museum visitors .were returns, or came because the museum had been recommended by an ac- quaintance. "This enthusiastic local response and word-of-mouth interest affirms the need for an in- stitution to record the development and histories unique to the Lambton com- munity," he added. New exhibits indoors, along with the addition of an 1857 pioneer home and a se- cond farm machinery building outside may have attributed to the number of return visitors.
