Clinton News-Record, 1977-04-21, Page 3Lively land discussions
A A suggestion by former Huron County
Warden Anson McKinley that the new
Stanley Township plan should set a
minimum acreage requirement for
agricultural operation provoked lively
discussion in Varna, Tuesday night, the
last of six meetings tc draw up a
secondary land use plan for the town-
ship.
Mr. McKinley said other townships set
minimum acreage requirements for
livestock operation and felt Stanley
Township should consider a 25 acre
minimum. Former OSA President,
Gordon Hill expressed opposition to the
proposal, saying it could be restrictive to
farmers. "A requirement such as this, in
this kind of open agricultural com-
munity, would be completely
unrealistic." he said.
Mr. McKinley said a minimum
acreage by-law would give township ,�Tucker�mi▪ thgets

Gordon Hill, NDP candidate in
Gurdon Hill of R R1 Varna,
was welcomed last week us
New i)emocratic Party
candidate for Middlesex
Riding in the next provincial
election
Immediate past president
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, Mr. Hill was
welcomed by provincial NDP
officials and by a standing,
clapping, cheering crowd who
filled the hall of Lambeth
United Church on April 13.
"It is wonderful to realize
what the emergence of
Gurdon Hill means to social
democracy in Ontario," said
Stephen Lewis.
"This is a 6ruly historic
meeting," said Donald C.
MacDonald, •
Mr. Lewis is leader of the
New Democratic Party in
Ontario. Mr. MacDonald is a
former provincial'leader and
currently food and
agriculture critic for the
NDP, which is Ontario s
Official Opposition. • •
Both Liberals and Con-
servatives had also sought
Mr. Hill as a candidate for
various ridings, Mrs. Gillian
Sutherland of RR3 Mount
Brydges revealed as she
nominated liil„ ftnl- the
Middlesex New Democrats.
When the nominatidn —
which was uncontested ---
became official, at least 25
election type signs bearing
the candidate's 'name were
held aloft, and then the crowd
rose to its feet in applause.
Explaining his choice of the
NDP, Mr. Hill said. "In 23
years of dealing with Queen's'.
Park, I have come to have
severe reservations as to
whether the government of
GORDON HILI.
COPE recommends
proposal be accepted
by members
The Executive Board of the
Canadian Union of Public
'Employees, Local. 1000 is
recommending. that its 13,500
members accept a proposal
`by Ontario Hydro for a one-
year contract effective April
Pi,...
The union- bargaining
committee, chaired by Jack
MacDonald, First, Vice -
President, has been meeting
with Hydro sonce January 3,
1 9 , : and has adhered to a
rigid timetable jointly agreed
to by the parties which en-
sured that negotiations would
be concluded by the expiry
date of the contract, March
;list.
The proposal provides for a
general wage increase of 8
per cent with exceptions for
clerical and technical em-
ployees whose increases will
range from 8 per cent at the
J
bottom 6f the salary schedule
to (i per cent for those at the
top.
Helicopter pilots will
receive G per cent and there is
a special increase of 15 cents
per hour for chemical
operators. The top trade rate
would now he $9.39 an hour.
The major benefit in-
provements include
..a.cations (four weeks after
10 years' service and six
weeks after 30 years), an
.additional floating statutory
holiday, and extensions to the
existing dental and health
plans.
A membership referendum
will he held in order to ratify
the proposal, and ballots will
be counted on May 5, 1977.
Ontario Hydro will be
submitting the terms of the
proposal to the Anti -Inflation
Board for approval.
o,
this province is interested in
people unless they possess a
great deal of power —
preferably economic power."
Earlier, he had said that he
chose Middlesex rather than
his home riding of Huron -
Middlesex, because in the
former he could hope to
unseat a Conservative, and
because he had no wish to
oppose Jack Riddell,' for
whom he has friendship and
respect.
Among .objectives outlined
by Mr. Hill in his acceptance
speech were: stimulation of
Ontario's ecq.ogmyto pled'
jobs:. conservttio
provincial reSPUrg; "
combatting the impressjgnj
rural Ontario that the ,NO,
consists of "socialist hordes"'
trying to put all' 'land and
business under government
control, and replacing it with
the truth that New Democrats'
merely want to give equal
opportunity to all persons,
including small business
people and workers.
This idea was reinforced by
the guest speaker, Mr:
Lewis.
