The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-10-19, Page 31Two of the four candidates in 'the Huron riding in ,the up- coming federal' election were on the hot seat at South Duron District High School last week. • ; Huron M.P. Conservative sit- ting member Robert McKinley and Liberal candidate 'Charles Thomas ' answered question's ° from five students during, the one hour session. Shirley Weary of the NDP and Socialist Ed Bain were unable to attend. The first question was fired at McKinley by Phyllis Taylor. The student from Usborne asked McKinley what he has done for Huron, what, the Con- servatives plan to dp better than want. We•ve been toad Trudeau doesn't listen, 1 find hint a man who listens very well and likes to listen to people w,ho know what they're talking about. He's a very receptive listener.`" In his reply McKinley said, "What's. wrong with the economy? There's plenty wrong when university graduates cant find jobs. I've had persons with BA's and graduate engineers - come to me looking for em- ployment • help." In reply to a question from Larry Hess concerning the Canadian Radio Television Comr}mission McKinley said he was responsible for getting cable - the—Libera s -ancwhy_Ontaris - to G'dderrefi TV Fat l`'ellrfton. Thomas •said he would like to see radio, TV and cable under one jurisdiction but could see problems with cabl-ecasts liecause of 'control of education by the provinces. He continued, "Enforcement of the Canadian content law has provided many more jobs for Canadian talent." Thomas said the question regarding capital punishment posed by John Cyeses was a dif- ficult one. "I was against it at one time, still am in some degree. I think bank tellers should" be protected as McKinley suggested a Conser- policemen and I'm not too sure vative government would get in cases of hijacking and along better with the United treason.

The law has not been upheld as there has been no hangings since 1963. I would be in favour of something that could be adhered to." The final question from Tony Kyle as to "what will you do?" brought the following reply from McKinley.

Now• that's performance! Bulbs have always held a unique place in the heart of gar- deners, for out of the most inert - looking unpromising structures, in a comparatively short time arise some of the world's most beautiful flowers. When we think of spring - flowering bulbs our thoughts first turn, naturally, to the flam= boyant bedding type tulips, the crisp ' cool daffodils, and the crocuses, and hyacinths that are imported by the million each yeAr from Holland. Let us, this week, look at some equally beautiful but much lesser- known t ulbs imported in .min"or quantities from the same coun- try - species that will give us complete satisfaction even though grown in a, clump of not more than three or four bulbs. There are a number of,tulips that are unusually attractive and interesting for their in- dividual blooms and leaves. Many of these are in the so- called 'species tulip' class, In- cluded among these are the hor- ned tulip (Tulipa acuminata) with wavy leaves and narrow twisted petals; Red Riding Hood, a Tulipa greigii ,hybrid tulip with.vividr'ed flowers and striking mottled foliage; and the new fringed types which have fringed edges to the petals and flower very early "in the season. Two low -growing species suited to the rock garden--arethe vivid purple Tulipa pulchella violacea, and tie showy, shining red , T,ulipa maximowiczii. The long list of narcissus cultivars contain many unusual kinds that should be grown more. This year try some bulbs of • February Gold . and Peeping Tom, hybrids of the `cyclamineus' group that are not more than a. foot high and yet bear perfectly -formed miniature trumpets. You may extend your pleasure, by growing Thalia and Tresemble, both cultivars in the' `triandus' class _ noted par- ticularly for their drooping snow-white flowers. ' - A clump of jonquils (Nar- cissus jonquila) will also bring a new joy to your garden. These will bear many sweet -scented single butter -yellow blooms on single stems; Baby Moon is a new cultivar with softer yellow flowers. For a plant that is bound to excite discussion, get a few bulbs of the Turkestan onion (Allium karataviense). Its broad metallic red -bordered leaves form a cup in which nestles huge globes of rosy -white flowers. One of the most imposing groups of bulbous plants is the Foxtail lily (Eremurus.) This groupinclude some very striking tuberous plants that will grow up . to six feet high with enor- mous spikes of light pink bloom. Of/these Eremurus robusta and its hybrids are the easiest to grow if given good drainage and a covering of straw or leaves in late ,November or early Decem- ber t3 keep them from sprouting too early in the spring. • Equally imposing and much more arresting is the crown im- perial lily (Fritillaria im- perialis) a bulbous plant that bursts through the ground in early spring and produces a plant two or three feet tall with very glossy green foliage, from which arise thick stems with clusters of flowers terminated by a tuft of"green leaves. There are four cultivars available, ranging from golden -yellow to red and orange -brown. Grow these in the shade of shrubs and near the home where they et sun from thest side, e sma er fritillaries such as the Snake's head fritillary "(Fritillaria meleagris$ are not commonly grown and are now available in many cultivars with distinctive and charming flowers with various shades of brown, yellow and white. Quite different in appearance 'to all the other bulbs mentioned are the little winter aconites with ' their tiny buttercup like flowers above deeply -cut leaves. These bulbs must not be allowed to dry . out in' Storage. Rather, the littlo-bulbs, which look like pieces of putty, should be slaked overnight if dry and planted, 'right away the next morning. K: "dry 'a*o the' Star of Bethlehem, Ornithogalurn Um- bellatum) which has white stars held six inches above the ar- ching grassy leaves. Plant as few as .5 half-dozen and in a few years they will expand to a very large colony. As for all. garden plants, prepare, the soil well by spading it deeply and mixing in some fine peat or similar humus along with fertilizer such as 6-9-6 at . the rate of five pounds per 100 square feet. Then plant the. bulbs in clumps in various parts of the• garden and around the house.' Remember to,plant the small ' ones that blom early near the front or back door so you will be able to see them without walking through snow or mud. Most of those men- tioned are 'ideal near walks, steps, next to stone walls or fen- ces, in rock gardens and in larger groups between and in front of shrubs. Premier Bill Davis is cam- paigning for Robert Stanfield. The Huron MP listed his ac- complishments during his seven years in Ottawa particularly his position as chairman of the agriculture caucus committee. He said his committee made the federal marketing bill much better and he was very much responsible for the continuation of six day rural mail delivery. In answer to the question of Bill Davis campaigning for Stanfield, McKinley said, "that's his business, he can work for whoever he wishes." In. reply to what he would do if elected, Charles Thomas listed ' local development programs as one of his first • projects. ' To the students he said, "We need the kind of employment for people who have education: I'm' sure most of you would like, to come back to Huron to work af- ter graduating from university." "Huron's economy needs balancing. Agriculture 'is impor- tant, but° I believe a strong federal voice would help develoument growth," he added.

Thomas, said there should be a better way of reporting unem= ployrnent numbers. "Of the six percent unemployment two per- cent are ,heads of families, the . others ore second and third wage earners in the family. • They can be more selective in taking jobs." He continued, "This is a corn- plex problem, we have to work at the solutions."" Student Council president Donald Noakes was moderator Of the program.
