The theme of the meeting was "Stewardship" and the speakers used several items of interest to show how stewardship should be a vital part of our entire lives: Stewardship is sharing time, talent, faith, money and self. It is responsibility, dedication _ and service. Mrs. Charlie Hodgins, Mrs. Len Crawford and Mrs. Barry Pass- more conducted a brief worship service. Mrs. Passmore, in a meditation based on the story of the faithful steward from the Bible, stated that an interesting Kitchen shower for Miss Topham FORDWICfi — A kitchen shower was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harper Wood last week, in Mitchell in honor of Miss Mary Elizabeth Topham, bride - elect of October. Relatives were present from Brussels, Wing hani, Listowel, Kitchener, Gor- rie, Drayon, F',ordwich and Wood- stock. The bride-to-be received many useful and lovely gifts for which she thanked everyone. Lunch was served by the hostesses, the bride's aunt. and cousin, ' Mrs. Harper Wood and Mrs. Mervin Wallace of Woodstock. point to note in the story is that while everyone was given vary- ing degrees of talent, no one Was left without at least one talent. It is up to us to use the talents that God has given us. Several members of the junior choir sang two numbers ac- companied by Mrs. Passmore at the piano. .

NDP candidate acclaimed Shirley Weary, a mother of four from Goderich and a secondary school teacher at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, was chosen by acclamation last Wed- nesday night as the New Demo- cratic Party candidate for Huron in the October 30 federal election. This will represent Mrs. Weary's second attempt in fed- eral politics having been unsuc- cessful in the federal contest of 1968. • In her acceptance speech Mrs. Weary told the nomination meet- ing that unemployment was the first issue of the selection. "More than half a million people in this Prnrntry are without jobs." she said. When you have a country as rich as Canada, there ought to be work for those . able to do it. When someone is unemployed, he is not the onky one who loses. So- ciety, that is, yqp and I, have to keep him and his family going, and the country loses what he would have produced had hi -been working." The NDP candidate said that full employment and job security top the list of goals for the New Democrats. "The'NDP would use public funds,, to build jobs for people, not profits for corpora- tions." Mrs. Weary also discussed the . problems of the consumer noting that consumers .were facing al- most unbelievable problems. Over half the price they pay for food products, she charged, is made up of processing, packag- ing and distribution costs. "In addition to the packaging and advertising," she said, "con- sumers are also paying for the growing profits of the supermar- ket. The consumer is lured to "sales" by special low prices, not realizing that prices of other pro - duets in the store are raised to compensate for the "specials" Stressing that she wished to seek election as a human being and not as, a woman Mrs. Weary touched on the matter of Wo- men's Rights. "In theory, women are equal with men in Canada," she said, "but governments, em- ployers, and even our system of education have obstructed women from participating in so- ciety as fully as they may .choose." . "Althdugh one third of Can- ada'slabour force is female," the candidate pointed out, "this. group earns only one fifth of the country's income. Women also comprise one third of the Public. Service employees, but only six per cent of middle manage- ament." • In the matter of daycare Mrs. Weary said that the NDP would join with the province to build a large, number of day care centres so that mothers can enter the la- bour force without anxiety over their children's well being. Mrs. Weary also discussed the problems facing farmers and those who . make their living through agriculture. She said the New Democrats believed there. are positive steps which can be taken to meet the problems of agriculture and rural life. "An NDP government would act to . SHIRLEY WEARY stabilize the agricultural popula- tion at a level 'which will support a reasonable range of rural ser- vices, to stop the drift from farms," Mrs. Weary promised. "Regulations, controls and stan- dardization of farm machinery would be implemented to stabil- ize production costs and capital costs would be reduced by creat- ing public land banks available to farmers for lease. In .concluding her remarks Mrs. Weary said, "The NDP does not pretend to have all the an- swers, but we do offer a commit- ment to ordinary people of Can- ada, a determination to place their needs and aspirations ahead of corporate profits, a program to build an independent Canada of equality and compassion." The 38 -year-old candidate. was born. in the District of Temiska- ming and spent her childhood in Renfrew County. She worked in -Ottawa and Hamilton as a steno- grapher, private secretary and office manager before bccc' g a teacher. Mrs. Weary. taught elementary school for one year and secondary school for eight years. . She has been married to David Weary for the past 19 years and is. the mother of two sons and two daughters. She graduated from the University of Western On- tario in 1971 with a B.A. in -Psy- chology. , Guest Speaker Guest speaket"at' the 1,i6 nifia`- tion meeting was Dr, Ted Bounsall, MPP; for Windsor' West and Labor Critic fir the NDP in the Ontario Legislature. "Our issue," Dr. Bounsall said, "That of taxation and the corpor- ate welare bums, or the corpor- ate rip-off, has become.. the crucial issue in this campaign." "Income taxes paid by you," he charged, "could be drastically reduced if the corporations paid their fair share." "In 1969," the guest speaker charged, "nearly half of the 200,000 corporations paid no in- come tax at all, Some, admittedly small corporations, which made rick profits and, are struggling to become established, are' under- standably Temporarily in need of nil tax payment. But also in- cluded in this category are nine out of 32 petroleum companies, eight out of 27 distilleries, three out of 32 breweries and 33 out of 88 trust companies." In the area of family farms and farm income, Dr. Bounsall said the NDP rejected the conclusion of federal planners that the num- ber of farms Must` be reduced by two-thirds. "Family farming is a way of life that,enriches Can- adian society," he said, "and must be protected against cor- porate farming and hobby farm- ing," CURRAH'S GENERAL STORE Corrie - Phone 335-3451 Savings le 07 O UpTo NAME BRANDS HAUGHES - G.W.G - VVAT36iV - GQTkilG. - STANFIELD FOOTWEAR GREG -LAMBERT HYDRO BOOTS AND SHOES WINTER LINES HYDRO PARKAS - SNOWMOBILE SUITS qamorteramensomat Stile will be from OCT.
