Township, was fined $50 on
each of three counts of mak-
ing false statements under
the Unemployment In-
surance Act in December of
last year. He was given 60
days to pay the $150 fine. All
but $70 of the amount given
to him has been returned.
A fine of $100 or 10 days
was given to Beverly Max
Learn, Hensall, who pleaded
guilty to a charge of posses-
sion of drugs. He had six
grams of marijuana when
stopped by police on
December 31. He was given
30 days in which to pay the
fine.
Daniel Colin Stanley, R.R.
5 Clinton, was given a con-
ditional discharge and plac-
ed on probation for one year
after pleading guilty to
stealing four hubcaps from
Hensall Motors on January
12. The hubcaps were valued
at $150 each.
An absolute discharge was
granted • Mark Edward
Hearn, Huron Park, who
pleaded guilty to the theft of
54 cents worth of gasoline
from Tuckey Beverages on
January 7.
•
said, "Negative press the
last week, I think really hurt
my chances. Especially the
latest issue' of Farm and.
Country, the Federation of
Agriculture publication
which came out completely
in favour of. Murray."
Craig continued, "I am
happy with the Liberal
sweep nationally, but, we
just can't seem to break the
Tory dominance in Huron,
Bruce and Grey counties."
A Liberal supporter John
Elliott added, "It was quite
an accomplishment in
cutting the Tory majority
from 9,294 votes to 2,159."
Tony McQuail, the New
Democratic Party candidate
for Huron-Bruce, said he was
pleased with the showing the
party had made in
traditionally barren ground
of Huron-Bruce, and said
Monday night while wat-
ching election results pour in
that if the circumstances
were the same next time, he
would run again.
The 27-year-old McQuail,
who farms near Lucknow,
improved the NDP's Federal
vote considerably in the
riding this time. In May,
they polled 7.65 per cent of
The town's salary
negotiating committee
memberS have reached a
tentaive settlement with
members of the Exeter
Police Association, but it
was not approved by council
this week.
Councillor Don Cameron
asked that council be given
more time to consider the
terms in ' the lengthy
agreement which had been
reached earlier that day
between the committee and
the constables. This was
approved and the matter will
be dealt with at the next
meeting,
The tentative package
calls for a pay increase of
around nine and half per-
cent, but it works out closer
to 11 percent in view of the
fact shift pay bonuses have
been removed and added to
the base pay.
The Officers have been
receiving 20 cents per hour
forthe shift which concludes
at midnight and 40 cents for
the shift that carries through
until early morning.
Mayor Boyle said this
bonus was a "real ad-
the vote, and nearly doubled
that to 11.11 per cent, by
picking up 3,864 votes this
time.
Progressive Conservative
candidate Murray Cardiff
won the riding with 16,523
votes, defeating. Liberal
Graeme Craig, who polled
14, 364 votes. •
Mr. McQuail said he was
pleasdd with his showing in
an area that has never been
very favorable to his party.
"I ° think we're going
somewhere," he said
Monday night at a small
party gathering at organizer
Paul Carroll's home in
Seaforth.
He said that the NDP
party offers the only real
alternative to the Liberals
and Conservatives and he
was-pleased that people were
beginning to see that.
Mr. McQuail, who is an
alternate energy advocate
and a conservationist , also
set'a new record for the NDP
party in Huron:Bruce when
he won three polls in Huron
Park and Vanastra, a first
for the party.
The mood of the several
dozen supports who gathered
at Mr. Carroll's home
ministrative headache."
The pay for a first class
constable will now' increase
from $17,820 per annum to
$19,800. The pay rate for
second class is $18,730, third
class $17,320 and fourth class
$14,020. All current members
of the force are in the first
class category.
Vacation time has also
been altered. Officers will
receive three weeks after
three years under the new
terms, where as it was five
years in the old contract,
Four weeks holidays will be
given after five years'
service, the previous
requirement being 10 years,
The officers also suc-
ceeded in getting a dental
plan into the contract. It
calls for council to pay 75
percent of the cost of a non-
deductible 80 percent basic
preventative dental care
plan.
Drive carefully
Monday night was quiet and
sombre at first when the
results from the Maritimes,
Quebec, and Ontario came
in, showing that in those
areas the party 'had lost
several seats, and wasn't
doing as well in .Ontario as
they thought they would.
, At one point, the•gathering
sat stunned as early polls
showed even their leader Ed
Broadbent in trouble in
OshaWa, but the tide turned
for Broadbent and then for
the party as the results from
the prairie provinces and
British Columbia started
pouring in, showing the NDP
with a very strong base out
west and a total of 36 seats.

said.
There was no dancing in
the Ferguson headquarters,
simply because the floor was
too crowded. Well-wishers
continued to pour into the
arena hall late into the
evening,
When asked if he might be
in line for a cabihet post,
Ferguson said that he will
have to serve an "ap-
prenticeship" first.
Ferguson said that the
Liberal majority govern-
ment could be attributed to
the "harshness of the
budget" and leadership,
Fergusen said that once he
is in office, he will work to
maintain the "quality of
life" for farmers and small
businessmen,
Ferguson said that he will
continue to push for alter-
nate sources of energy, such
as gasohol, which was one of
the planks in his platform,
Ferguson powered his

the campaign.
Ferguson's wife Delores
and children Douglas 23,

victory.

The first few polls from the
Huron-Perth riding brought
joyous shouts ,from the girls
handling the telephones at
Graeme Craig's
headquarters at the Blyth
arena.,
The first returns showed
Craig with 254 votes and
Conservative Murray
Cardiff with 206 and
prompted one Liberal to
comment, "Well, at least we
are off to a better start than
last time."
Optimism continued as
returns from Goderich were
tabulated, but, receded with
the counts from Clinton,
Dieter and Wingham flowed
in.
Near the halfway mark
when the totals reached 7,200
for Cardiff and 6,655 for
Craig, the Liberal candidate
said, "I think we are licked."
Craig said he was ' well
pleased with his support in
Goderich where he lost by
only 200 votes. He continued,
"We felt if we Could come out
even in Exeter and Clinton
we could afford to lose by 400
in Goderich , but, we were
wrong."
At 10 p.m, with one poll
unreported Cardiff had
gained 898 votes in Exeter
and Craig's total was 593 and
McQuail had 152.

to 1979 erosion contracts at
Port Franks and Grand Bend

pleted.
He added, "We were just

past fall and winter allowing
us to complete these
projects, We should get them
started earlier.
Bob Austin of Arkona was
also acclaimed as, vice-
chairman for a second term,
In, accepting the position
Austin said, "I'm the oldest
member in the number of

bencher for 20 years.
