NDPpleased with federal election results
by Sharon Dietz
HURON - Bruce NDP candidate Valerie
Bolton is especially pleased the party held
their own in the riding in his election when
the Tory tide was so gr at. Results show
Bolton with 211 more v tes than in 1980
which holds the popular ote at about 11.1
per cent.
Bolton believes the ND will be the voice
for the ordinary people in the new parlia-
ment. "You can count on us to be the real op-
position. The NDP came into the election as
a strong caucus, we stood strong on policies
and we will be better prepared to go into the
House as an effective opposition."
In 'an interview the day after the election,
Bolton said NDP leader Ed Broadbent has
shown in this campaign he is a strong
spokesmanfor ordinary Canadians and he
will be seen asa spokesman for Canadians
in the House of Gammons.
Bolton awaited.the._election results.at..her
home Tuesday night surrounded by loyal
supporters and campaign orkers. A cheer
went up when it was ann unced over CBC
television that NDP Dan H ap had been suc-
cessful in the Spadina r ding of Toronto
defeating Tory candidate Peter Wor-
thington. "Just wait until they see what we
do in the west," exclaimed one worker.
Campaign chairman Tony McQuail said for
the NDP in this riding to hold their share of
the votes against, a Tory landslide and a fine
incumbent, (Conservative Murray Cardiff)
when -the Liberals .crumbled in the area,
means the party has to go out and work to
get people involved in building the social
democratic party in this- riding. McQuail
said he was really pleased with the showing
of the national party since many were say-
ing the NDP was irrelevant and dead two
months ago at the beginning of the cam-
paign.
"If the Liberals had been a national party
with seats in the west, there would have
been a place for the Tory ,vote to go but as it
was we lost a few out there."
Locally Bolton was surprised that even
though she didn't have the chance to speak
as much on women's issues as she would
have liked during the campaign, people saw
the NDP as .the real voice for equality for
women. Perhaps her presence as a woman
in the campaign contributed to this, she "
said.
Raising . the issues of nuclear disarma-
ment and peace m this riding was ,her most
significantcontribution to the campaign, in
her own opinion. The New Democrats are
more aggressive about nuclear disarma-
ment and the peace issue with strong clearly
defined objectives, she remarked. •
She observed that Cardiff's win is not just
a part of the Tory sweep; Cardiff is -capable,
responsible and presented himself well dur-
ing the campaign, she said. He should be
able to do a good job representing the riding
now that he is a member of the government
and will be able to work for. the issues he
spoke of in the campaign including soil ero-
sion and Canagrex. Bolton said her party
will also support him on parity for farmers,
tax reform, job creation and the lowering of
interest rates. Bolton said she hopes the
government coming into power will work

together with the people of Canada to find
ways of communicating.
McQuail said it is his suspicion that a Tory
victory of this magnitude will not be good
for the country, because it may lead to ar-
rogance on the part of the government. Mc -
Quail said prime minister elect Brian
Mulroney is quite prepared not to talk to
reporters as he did during the campaign. He
was running on the premise that if he did not
say anything, he wouldn't make a .rrristake
that would cost him the election.
We are getting a much smoother variety
of arrogance with Mulroney than we had
with former prime minister Pierre
Trudeau, according to McQuail. With
Trudeau it showed more. Mulroney gave the
impression of issues not the substance .dur-
ing the campaign which is a problem with
the electronic media.

McQuail said he is interested in watching

[urate winners go International
By Wilma Oke
A Seaforth area teenager, Paul Dodds of
RR 1, Seaforth, won the teenager class of
the 57th Huron County Plowing Match on
September 15. The win brought with it the
chance to compete in the scholarship class
*at the International Plowing match near
Tevoitdale in WellingtonCoaunty.
Jeff McGavin of Walton, has also been
selected by the Huron Plowmen's Associa-
tion to compete in the scholarship class bas-
ed on his performance last year but the in-
ternational association cut the scholarship
entries to one from each county this year.
George Townsend, president of the Huron
Plowmen's Association, told those attending
the Huron match that reducing the scholar-
ship is a "big mistake".
"This is where we get the encouragement
at the county, level for young people to get in-
volved. We have had up to as many as eight
in this scholarship class. We have had our
team picked from last year's competition to
go to this year's match and now we have to
tell them only one may go."
The teen class competition at this year's
match was used as the deciding competi-
tion. Paul Dodds won out over Steven
Adams of Brussels who came second and
Jeff McGavin who placed third. Both Paul
and Steven will compete at the International
but not in the scholarship class.
Mr. Townsend said the number of en,
trants and spectators was up this year over
last year despite the chilling rain and wind
and mud, He said there will be 11 or 12 from
Huron competing at the International this
year.

Clinton council okays bylaw changes
CLINTON - The town Committee of Ad-
justment has scheduled a public hearing for
September 27 at 8 p.m: to consider a minor
variance and severance application made
by Bob Gibbings of Clinton.
The property to be considered relates to a
steel shed located on Lot 619 and part of Lot
618 at the southwest corner of Maple and
Charles Street.
Mr. Gibbings wants to sever property and
sell a portion of it as a residential lot. This is
conditional on a minor variance approval on
the steel shed.
Located in a light industrial zoned area,
bylaws state that minimum side yard re-
quirements are 25 feet. The building on the
Gibbings' property only has a side yardage
of 4.77 feet.
If minor variance is approved by the Com-
mittee of Adjustment, Mr. Gibbings could
proceed with his plan have a portion of the
lot severed. The area immediately south of
the shed is zoned single family residential
and a 50 feet wide lot could be created there.
The minimum residential lot width require-
ment is 50 feet, with.an overall area of 5,000

square feet.
In studying the applications, Councillor
Jim Hunter agreed with Mayor Chester Ar-
chibald. He noted, "As Mayor Archibald
said, it could create a monster that could
come back and haunt council."
Council hoever recommended to the Com-
mittee of Adjustment that approval be given
for the minor variance, and in turn the
severance application.
Council also recommended a minor
variance on the Lucille Demers property on
Townsend Street. An above ground pool on-,
the property is two feet, six inches from the
property line. Minimum requirements are
three feet.
Clerk Cam Proctor noted when the pool
was installed, the zoning bylaw was in ef-
fect, but was not enforced.
