Public honours Murray Cardiff
BY JANICE BECKER
More than 600 friends, family,
supporters and community members
gathered at the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre on the
evening of Sept. 27 to pay their
respects to recently -retired MP
Murray Cardiff.
Cardiff represented the Huron -
Bruce riding, as a Progressive Con-
servative (PC), for more than 13
years, until his defeat in last fall's
federal election.
The appreciation night included a
social hour, dinner, and a salute to
the man and his wife, Betty.
A pictorial presentation gave the
audience an overview of the work
Cardiff had been involved in both
locally and on the international
scene, in support of Canada.
"We- must represent the entire
nation -because we are a nation. We
cannot do something (for one area)
at the expense of others," he said.
At the same time, Cardiff was
praised for bringing money into the
area.
Steve Sparling, a bcal member of
the PC party said,
"The pictorial showed just how
much money Mr. Cardiff had
brought to Huron -Bruce during his
tenure and I am sure we will be
feeling the benefits for many -
years"
As for his future plans, Cardiff
said he may go into market devel-
opment, but didn't wish to disclose
too many details as several options
were being looked at.
From the day following the elec-
tion, Cardiff said he knew he was
finished with politics and any
involvement in the future would
----only be in the backroom.-
During
ackroom.During his time in politics, Car-
diff served on standing committees
concerning agriculture, trade,
finance and economic affairs.
He represented Canada on trade
missions to China, Southeast Asia
and Africa, as well as acting as the
parliamentary secretary to the Sol-
icitor General, Deputy Prime Minis-
ter and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Head table guests included Dr.
Harry Brightwell, former MP for
Perth -Wellington -Waterloo, and his
wife; Dr. Bruce Halliday, former
MP for Oxford -Brant and his wife;
the Honorable John McDermid; the
Honorable Perrin Beatty; and Ken
Monteith, former MP for Elgin.
Grey Township Reeve Leona
Armstrong represented Brussels,
Morris and Grey, and Bruce County
Warden Maurice Donnelly and
former Huron County Warden Tom
Tomes were also present.
Cardiff and his wife Betty
received two gifts. The first, the
traditional PC retirement clock, was
presented by Mary Donnelly and
Ken Campbell, a longtime friend
and campaign manager.
The second was a special mem-
ento which "was a wonderful idea,"
said Sparling. Cardiff was presented
with his chair from the House of
Commons, including a name plate
on the back indicating his years in
the House, 1980-1993.
"It is hoped the unique gift will
become an heirloom for the fam-
ily," said Sperling.

"The guests in
attendance were not just typically
conservative supporters, but were
residents who had voted for Mr.
Cardiff in the past because of the
work he has done for the riding.
The evening was certainly a tribute
to Mr. Cardiff."
Since his retirement, Cardiff has
been staying busy on the family
farm in Grey Township and finish-
ing up business in Ottawa.
Cardiff thanked all those in
attendance for the wonderful even-
ing and then entertained with a few
stories from his time in politics.
One story which brought laughter
to the audience concerned the quick
wit of an elderly resident of Brus-
sels.
"Some years ago, I was visiting a
local nursing home on other busi-
ness when a nurse mentioned I
should stop in and see Mr. Riley
who was over 100 years old," said
Cardiff. •
"Riley had been a friend of my
father's and I had known him
throughout the years," he recalled.
"When the nurse told Riley that I
was going to stop by, his quick
reply was 'Is it election time
again?'."
Cardiff said there are many things
he misses about public life.
"I don't get to as many activities
as I did before, but there are many
aspects I don't miss at all," he said.
