NDP nominate freelance educator
by Alice Gibb
Moira Couper of
Bayfield, a freelance
adult community
ec ,cator, was acclaimed
as the NDP candidate for
the Huron -Bruce riding in
a nomination meeting in
Clinton Tuesday night.
The candidate said one
of her jobs in the up-
coming election would be
to ' "dispel some of the
myths about the NDP
party."
Mrs. Couper, the
mother of four children,
now holds diplomas from
Fanshawe College and
Iona College, University
of Windsor and is working
on a degree from the
University of Waterloo.
In the past, Mrs. Couper
has been employed by the
ministry of culture and
recreation in operating a
series of campground
programs.
In accepting the
nomination, Mrs. Couper
told the audience one of
her major concerns is
equal rights and op-
portunities for women,
which she will make a
platform in her cam-
paign.
She told the 35 people at
the nomination meeting
that it will be difficult to
change the thoughts and
ideas of many voters in
the Huron -Bruce riding
and to persuade them to
consider the NDP party.
In an interview
following her nomination
Mrs. Couper said she
plans to run a "grass
roots" campaign around
the county. For example,
instead- of having one
campaign office in the
county, the party plans to
operate mobile in-
formation centres which
will tour the riding. Also,
Mrs. Couper plans to aim
her campaign at three
main groups in the
county, the small
businessmen on the main
streets of the towns
where she is cam-
paigning; the farm
Council
briefs
Goderich town council finally passed two
bylaws Monday that clinch the fire agreement
between the town and the townships of
Goderich and Colborne.
Bylaw 20, an agreement between the town
and the townships for fire protection, was given
the third and final reading and bylaw 38,
toestablish a fire department reserve fund was
also passed. The reserve fund is being set up for
major capital expenditures.
Council agreed with a 'motion that the
recreation offices be moved to the Grandstand
as soon as the facility is completed and that
adjustments concerning the grants be made.
Since the recreat-ion offices will move to the.
grandstand some grant money will be lost.
The recreation department is supported by
tax money and therefore the office space will be
exempt from grants. The recreation board had
set $8,000 to move the offices to the grandstand
but that money'will now be applied to the
maintenance of Agriculture Park.
Earlier thisyear the recreation board was
granted jurisdiction over the maintenance of
Agriculture Park and the grandstand.
A motion to make Stanley Street a one-way
street off Kingston Street for southbound traffic
was tabled. °
The motionwas put forth by the traffic
committee after complaints from Stanley
Street residents. The street attracts a 1rge
number of parked cars becuase of the
proximity to the Legion and residents cl im
their lanes are continually blocked. Councillor
Jim Searls also expressed concern :about ac-
cess for fire trucks. ,
Council tabled the motion and will invite
Legion executive members to a meeting to
discuss the problem.
Another motion from the traffic committee
concerning concerning an entrance to the
Mac's Milk store on Bayfield Road was
defeated. The committee, on the advice of Chief
King, suggested that a proper entrance and exit
to the store be constructed on Bayfield Road.

Council turned down a donation request from
the Blyth Centre for the Arts Monday on the
basis of ° a previous donation to the Goderich
Performing Arts Foundation.
Council received a letter from Central
Mortgage and Housing Corporation that con-
firmed a capital budget allocation of $47,000 for
the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance
Program. (RR AP) These funds will be
available for projects within the„NIP area.
Despite the confirmation of funds council
delayed implementing the program since an
agreement between the provincial and federal
governments on the administration has not
been worked out.

"At a time when we
eserve leadership we do
not get leadership from
our prime minister, all
we get is a shrug of the
shoulders," the speaker
said.
Mr. Makarchuk em-
asized the issue of
ph
foreign ownership of
Canadian industries and
said, "It is extremely
important for us as
Canadians to control
what goes on in this
country."
He gave the Inter-
national Nickel company
situation in Sudbury as an
example of what happens
when an industry is
controlled by another
country and said the
strike situation there
hasn't been resolved
because "the decision not
to increase wages was
made in New, York." He
added, "No other country
but some banana republic
would allow this situation
to exist."
He told the audience to
look at the oil, pulp and
paper and manufacturing
industries in the county
and asked, "Who controls
them?"
