Rick Brown, Editor secondary school news For discussion Candidates visit students IIP by Michelle Corbett On Monday, May 14, the three candidates for the Huron Bruce riding in the upcoming federal election, visited CHSS to talk to the senior students about various issues. In his introduction, Graeme Craig, representing the Liberal party, stressed the need for Canadians to bring the constitution back to Canada. He also outlined the four major areas that his party is concerned with in this election. They are energy and en- vironment, economy, national unity and leadership. Mr. Craig went on to explain two of the issues, energy and environment and economy in greater detail. He said that jobs are available for Canadian youth if they are willing to go to the jobs instead of waiting for the jobs to come to them. Moira Couper, representing the New Democratic Party, noted that it was very difficult to distinguish between the three major political parties any more and that all people should know exactly what they are voting for. She also mentioned the increasing role of the media in our lives and its influences. Mrs. Couper expressed concern over the number of unemployed in Canada, rising prices and the erosion of the health care plan in Canada. She also stated she would like to see farmers getting fa.ir... prices. for their - produce. Mrs. Couper reiterated hear ypa 'ty ..Qttct iri lin ant .� ..%r –equali• y-f©r"-Ga•r farr-.:-- women and planned social change for the benefit of all Canadians. She also noted the New Democratic Party's policy of using a team- work approach in government. The incumbent,. Progressive Con- servative M.P. Robert McKinley, expressed his party's readiness to form the next government. He said that each of the members of the shadow cabinet (of which he is public works critic) had been asked to study their respective departments resulting in a shadow cabinet which had never before been more prepared to form the next government. Mr. McKinley went on 'to explain his job as public works critic and the changes that he has suggested be made in order to save money. He also mentioned the Conservative mortgage plan whereby a certain percentage of the interest After the question on a mortgage and a period, students were percentage of the able to talk to each of the municipal property taxes candidates individually would be deductable. Mr. for a short time, before McKinley noted the in- returning to classes. crease in government spending over the last 10 years and reaffirmed his party's desire to see spending control back in the hands of parliament. Following the three speaches, the students were given an op- portunity to ask questions. These questions covered everything from the Trudeau record to what each candidate will have accomplished for the riding after one year in office assuming he -she was elected. However most of the students expressed disappointment with the question period. They felt that they were not given enough time to ask questions (only six were asked) and that all of the candidates avoided answering directly the questions put forth to them.

Hensall UCWplan events By Hilda M: Payne Mrs. Kay Mock chaired the May meeting of Unit two of Hensall United Church in the church parlor on Monday evening, May 14. She opened with a reading, "When God created Mothers". The topic was taken by Mrs, Eleanor Mansfield, who showed a film, "One such child". Following the topic, Kay gave another reading and 11 members answered the roll call with their holiday plans. The devotional was led by Mrs. Dianna Brock who read an article from a back number of the U.C. Observer, "In praise of Motherhood". This was humourous but brought home the devotion needed to make a good mother. Mrs. Diane Ger- stenkorn conducted the business, reading an invitation extended to us by Brucefield UCW to join their meeting on May 5 at 2 p.m.; the bus trip to U.C. Headquarters on June 13 will leave at 7 a.m.; at. the General meeting on June 4, Unit two is to provide the lunch and also the flowers in the church during July. Mrs. Grace Drummond reported on the excellent regults from the Beef Barbecue. To close the meeting, Kay read some "Chuckles'?' gathered by a car accident reporter and following the Ber►c:v►,Lwn conducted a contest on the contents of our purses.

Thanks from the cast The C.H.S.S. drama club would like to express their thanks to Dr. Baker for his help during Saturday night's per- formance of Finian's Rainbow. He rose beyond the call of duty and gave up his seat in the audience to go backstage and tape up the dislocated thumb of one of the actors (Jim Craig). The good doctor did not have to do this at all and it was a very respectable act on his part. `' For this unselfish duty we sincerely say, "Thank -you very much Dr. Baker."

Shape Up IGOP By Paul Newland After reading the reply to my critique, I found it necessary to reply. First, of all, your three wall arrangement may be ."informal" to you, but for your patrons, it's downright un- comfortable. It was very cold on the morning your restaurant opened and my fingers nearly froze (not to mention the clammy corn syrup you sadistically slapped on my pan- cakes) . Also your so- called "drive-in service" is nothing more than a nuisance at best, and dangerous at worst. Several people were nearly run over by your motoring patrons and the carbon monoxide level soared to ,.nearly lethal levels. I'm not even going to mention the lighting conditions! It was so gloomy, and you should have seen the things .1 imagined seeing in the butter!! They could very well have been in there, too, thanks to the almost open air dining. But your food! I don't believe that your method of cooking is the flaw, as I have . tasted pancakes cooked that way (by traditional pygmy method), but the pancake iflour itself. To be q ite blunt, , your pancakes taste like fodder. I wouldn't have minded so much if I had five stomachs, but I don't, so I do. YoUr ' preparation of the batter is almost as sinister as the flour. In typical fast-food style, you don't even wait for the milk to thaw, but just slosh the slush in. As if this wasn't bad enough, you left us with only corn syrup (which has a consistency remarkably like that of plastic cement) to douse the evil flavotir of your pancakes. The seating? Only room for 16 people brave enough to sit on your cold, wet picnic tables. I don't think anyone would bring their children to IGOP just yet, unless they were on amass -suicide kick. ■■ low CID Fitness is fun, • Try some. y 1�� No running. No walking.

They wandered into an auto showroom. One of them saw a luxurious model that he liked. It had a built in TV set, bar, stereo and two telephones. "How much?" he inquired. "Twenty tho'tisand dollars," the salesman informed him. "I'll take it," the man said, and reached for his wallet. "No" protested his companion, "let me get this-- you bought lunch."
