anniversary of J. Robert Henry and

Mrs. McGowan's attendants were

THE EDITOR,
As we are getting closer to
election day there are a few points
we should remember.
We should count our blessings as
we live in Huron County which is
high in agricultural production.
Some very large industries are very
prosperous. There are also many
smaller and many family
businesses.
In the past five years we have
received a great deal of support
from the provincial government.
Many fann programmes have been
introduced and supported which
have been very beneficial to

farmers.
Much credit goes to Paul Klopp,
our MPP for his hard work and
ability as assistant to the Minister
of Agriculture Elmer Buchanan,
who has been good to the farmers
of Ontario.
As well many other projects and
grants have gone to many
communities. In fact I can not
remember when more money and
effort came to Huron County from
Queen's Park.
So in closing we should
remember all the help given to
Huron in the past ,five years
through our MPP Paul Klopp.

Letters
Writer seeks
PC support
THE EDITOR,
Since March of 1991, I have been-
supportive of the policies of the
Federal Reform Party, particularly
those policies relating to deficit and
debt reduction. With the provincial
election set for June 8, I have had
to consider which provincial party
has the policies which I can
support.
There has been some discussion
about a possible Reform movement
in Ontario. You may have seen in
The London Free Press last week
the article relating to "Reform"
candidates in Ontario. The Federal
Reform Association is not fielding,
supporting, endorsing or even
encouraging any candidates to run
in the Ontario provincial election.
Any candidates that do run are
doing so as independents, and
without the support of the Reform
Party of Canada.
As I see it, any such independent
candidates will only have the effect
of splitting the vote amongst those
voters supporting deficit and debt
control. We all want Bob Rae to be
defeated. The best way to ensure
this, is to put our full support
behind the only viable provincial
party, the Mike Harris PC Party.
I have reviewed in detail the PC
policies set forth in the Common
Sense Revolution. Mike Harris has
indicated he will introduce
balanced budget legislation. He
will reform welfare. He will cut
bureaucratic red tape and he will
cut the size of government.
These policies are all supported
whole heartedly by Helen Johns,
the PC candidate in Huron. She has
a firm business background, has a
fresh approach to politics, and I am
supporting her as best I can in her
Common Sense campaign.
Yours very truly,
Maggie Visscher
