The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-03-18, Page 3DIRECTIONS Frank Clement was one of 195 Goderich voters who took advantage of one of the three ad- vance polls before provincial election day on Thursday. 750 people voted in the advance poll in Huron -Middlesex, 228 more than in the last election in 1977. (Photo by Cath Wooden) Huron -Bruce candidates speak out on the issues The three Huron -Bruce candidates for Thursday's provincial election all have strong campaign platforms and voice concerns for the agricultural population of the riding. Running for the Liberals is' Murray Elston, Progressive Conservative can- didate is Gary Harron, and Tony McQuail is the New Democratic Party candidate. Murray Elston believes he has 'the ability to carry on the tradition established by his predecessor, Murray Gaunt. Elson has several proposals he hopes to take to Queen's Park which will help assist far- mers and small businessmen in this riding. He suggests Junior Farmers loans at low interest rates should be re -instated. Such loans would give young fanners some incentive to start farming and new blood is needed in the industry, he says. Elston wants to see Ontario farmers, growing commodities which are now imported. Tile drainage . programs. should be revitalized says Elston,' so that farmers can get more land into production and expand their productive capacity. Elston is also concerned about con- trolling absentee ownership, of farm land in the province.. • His concern for young farmers is the major -reason Gary Harron is running for Conservative MPP inHuron-Bruce. Since he is a farmer; Harron believes he can relate first "hand to the problems, frustrations and rewards of the farmers. of Huron -Bruce: He doesn't believe that farmers have a large enough voice at Queen's Park and wants to 'take their . concerns to the provincial government. Harron says the people of this riding are satisfied with the government's programs for farmers but don't think they go far • enough. He suggests a , program of assistance to offset high interest payments and depressed pork and beef prices. He would also_;+i'ke to -see-leans:-at lave-. interest rates such as the Junior Farmers loan to encourage young farmers. Harron wants stricter controls on the uses of farm land. He wants regulations preventing severances. Harron says the province should sit down with local governments and draw out bounderies to permit some growth of our towns and villages without encroaching on prime farm land Of 'special' concern to Harron is the establishment of alternate energy sources. He is conberned that the provincial Liberals supports world prices for oil for Canada and would like 'to see the barrel fixed at75cents` Tony McQuail, the NDP candidate is • running for MPP because he wants the. 'grass roots concerns of the people taken to. the provincial government. McQuail thinks government should be more accssible to people and he would like • the people to have an opportunity to give their input on proposed legislation. McQuail wants a commitment frons' government to invest in things to benefit the people of Ontario, rather than throwing d money while the and services away our resources people are being o. are -being -cut. He points out the success of thewNew Democrat government in Saskatchewan, a province which has the lowest unem- ployment, lowest per capita taxes, lowest provincial debt and good services. He goes on to say that Ontario has a branch plant economy we cannot control. Our natural resources have, been sold out cheaply and the economy has been drained by foreign companies. The NDPs would create 12,000 new .jobs. by revitalizing the food processing in- dustry. The NDPs agricultural policies:'are also aimed at preserving the family farm, and would implement a land banking system similar to_ a. program working_.in Saskat-. ohewan.
