Gaunt picked as HB Liberal
As expected last Thursday,
Murray Gaunt, of Vy,ingham,
was nominated once again as
the Liberal candidate in
Huron -Bruce riding for the
June 9 Ontario election.
Nomination meeting
organizers were pleased with
the large crowd on ha for
the Liberals' first gatheri. g
held in Kincardine to select a
candidate.
Mr. Gaunt, a 15 -year
veteran in the provincial
legislature,' was first elected
in a 1962 by-election.
He said that many people
have asked him why an
election was called. He said it
wasn't because minority
government wasn't working
or because opposition parties
were stalling the business of
the legislature.
The election was called,
Mr. Gaunt said, not for the
good of the province but for
the peronal political gain of
Premier Bill Davis.
If the Progressive Con-
servative government is
returned to • office with a
majority it will mean a
"return to the arrogance"
that brought hospital closings
and regional government to
Ontario, he said.
Minority government was
working well with more
cooperation among the three
parties than he had ever
before seen, he said.
Mr. Gaunt said the
province's $7.2 billion deficit
destroys the myth that the
Strike ends at Sifto Salt
Employees at the Domtar-
Sifto Salt Mine voted
unanimously to accept a
company offer and returned
to work Sunday at midnight
ending the 17 day strike.
The 215 mine workers,
members of Local 16 of 'the
Canadian Chemical Workers
Union, voted 139 to 9 in favor
of accepting the company
offer at a meeting Monday.
The new contract will give the
workers a 65 cent an hour
increase retroactive to April
1, 1977 and an additional 7
cent an hour increase on
October 1 over a one year
term.
Company and union of-
ficials met with represen-
tatives of the Ministry of
Labor in Toronto last Wed-
nesday in an attempt to
resolve the contract dispute.
Late last Thursday
representatives of Domtar
and Local 16 of the Canadian
Chemical Workers Union
signed a memorandum
agreement resolving all the
outstanding items.
The new agreement gives
the workers wage parity with
the evaporator plant em-
ployees and also included
changes in shift premiums,
work weeks, vacations,
Sunday overtime and ex-
penses. Union and company
officials will make a joint
presentation to the Anti-.
Inflation Board (AIB) to
allow the agreement based on
the historical relationship of
wages between evaporator
plant and mine workers.
Under the AIB guidelines
only a 58 cent an hour in-
crease could be permitted in
a new contract and the em-
ployees will only receive an
increase of that amount until
the AIB ruling is made. All
other changes listed in the
contract depend on the AIB
ruling and will not be in effect
until then.
If the total agreement is
accepted it would boost the
wage of a first class miner to
7.63 per hour. The immediate
58 cent an hour increase
raises that first class rate to
$7.49 per hour and raises the
average hourly wage to $7.02.
The mine workers were in a
legal strike position at 12:01
a.m. Thursday, April 28, after
negotiations had broken off
with the company. The union
contract expired March 31,
1977 and members were
'Seeking an 80 cent an hour
increase over one year as
well as other adjustments. _
Just hours before the strike
the company made a final
offer of 62 cents an hour in-
crease over the first year and
a 55 cent an hour increase
over the second year of a two-
year contract. The company
was seeking a two-year
agreement with the union to
establish stability in the
marketplace. The,. union
claimed the company sought
a two-year contract to hold
the workers to lower wages
while• the wage and price
guidelines were still in effect.

Conservatives are good
financial managers.
Adding $20 million to
provincial spending, which is
the cost of the election, is
"fiscal irresponsibility", he
said.
Mr. Gaunt termed the rent
review . legislation amend-
ment, approved by opposition
parties that Mr. Davis said
was a vote of nonconfidence,
just an excuse to call an
election.
With the economy sluggish
and unemployment high,
members of the legislature
should be in Toronto con-
ducting the province's
business,not campaigning for
an election, he said.
.Guest speaker at the
meeting was Perth MPP
Hugh Edighoffer, the Liberal
revenue critic.
He said he doesn't have
much faith in the Gallup poll
which gives the Con-.
servatives a majority.
Instead he prefers to put his
faith in results at the polls.
Mr. Edighoffer said the
Liberal Party is devoted to
preserving the free en-
terprise system and small
business must be supported
by government;
Small business generates
more employment than
machines, he said,and uses
energy more wisely.
During the last minority
government, the Liberal
caucus produced major
policy papers on small
business, care and treatment
of disturbed children and
. condominiums, he said.
The Liberals forced the
government to change its
education policy, he said.

By Shelley McPhee
There is something strangely exciting about living on •
the main.street of Clinton.
From my apartment windows I have a clear view of all
the daily activities and nightly performances by the
residents of the town. 1
From my window I can see neighbours happily
greeting one another, like they haven't spoken in the last
six months. No matter how hurriedly they were rushing
down the street there always is a spare moment to speak
to an acquaintence.
Parking is also an interesting ordeal to watch. Once the
driver has successfully maneuvered his vehicle into the
cramped space, usually half taken by the next car, then-
the task to find change for the meter begins. Frantic
ladies dig into the depths of their purses for just one
nickel and the.men begrudgingly empty their pockets, to
the miserable realization that they only have pennies.
This however is no barrier to the hurried shopper and
off they go, leaving their meter empty and later return
and to their utter amazement find a bright yellow ticket
pasted on their windshields.
The crosswalks are a total study in themselves. All
kinds of people cross over them everyday, like the
compulsive talker who insists on delaying the traffic so
he can chat to another fellow in the middle of the walk.
Or there's the nervous crosswalker who is not quite
ready to put his total trust in an automatic sign that
says"Walk". Instead of immediately setting out on his
trek across the street he must first check all the other
lights to see if they're in co-ordination with the sign and
then must be sure that all the traffic is stopped and no
one is turning.. No wonder the nervous walker is afraid to
cross the street. By the time he is ready to go, the lights
have already changed and he is stranded in the middle of
the road faced by an onrush of traffic.
Of course in contrast to the nervous walker there's the
daring one. To him the signs and lights mean nothing and
he prefers to challenge the traffic. More than often these
challengers tend to be youngsters on their banana seat
bicycles and as they cross the road, to the horror of
motorists, they perform a display of wheelies and skillful
manoeuvering of their bikes through the lines.
I especially like Friday nights for street gazing. The
weekly convoy of souped up cars, with loud tape decks
and screaming tires arrive at the stop lights for their tour
back and forth through the town.
One night I noticed an unusual number of black
Mustangs cruising up the street but it soon dawned on me
that pH these similar cars were in fact only one car,
making the grand circuit of main street time and time
again. -
The under sixteen crowd, or those who don't have cars,
must content themselves to congregate in front of the
Priceguard store and watch the same black Mustang go
around and around again.
I thought to myself that at least the kids were a friendly
bunch for each time the car passed it lay on its horn,
after performing a great show of burning rubber, and
was greeted by a variety of calls from the kids on the
corner. On closer listening I realized that these weren't
calls of friendliness but sounded slightly more
threateningto me.
I quickly ducked behind my curtain before the
teenagers realized they were being watched and decided
to use me as their next target.
There is a real fascination, with me anyway, of wat-
ching other people without their knowledge. Although I
rarely know any of them, its interesting to see peoples
habits, attitudes and quick glimpses of their per-
sonalities and all of this just by looking out of my window.
Street gazing is not only a pleasurable pastime for me
but also a necessary part of my life. For one, it passes the
time away since I don't have a television and I never
have to worry about poor reception or interruptions
because of commercials.
From my perch I have an eye view of the fire station so
I can always quickly spot the action and where it's going.
Most importantly my window serves as a good lookout
so I can keep a watchful eye out for the boss' black van.
When I see it coming down the street I quickly dash out
the back exit and arrive at work on time.
