MacGregor charges electioneering in federal travelling caucus visit Sam MacGregor, the Progres- sive Conservative candidate for Huron -Bruce, earlier this week charged the federal government with attempting to influence voters in the upcoming provincial election. At a press conference in Kin- cardine Monday, Mr. MacGregor noted the presence of five federal officials in this riding and ex- pressed concern over the "politi- cal ethics in having federal politi- cians meeting the public at public expense on the pretense of non- partisanship". The charge was made in refer- ence to the travelling caucus comprising Minister of Agricul- ture Eugene Whelan, Secretary of State Hugh Faulkner, MP Crawford Douglas, the postmas- ter general and a parliamentary assistant which visited the riding Monday. Referring to the visits of pro- vincial Premier William Davis, Treasurer Darcy McKeough and Minister of Food and Agriculture William Newman, Mr. MacGre- gor said the reason for their coming to the riding was to ex- plain their policies but declared he can't understand "how you can relate federal politics in a provincial campaign". "I believe their intention is to influence," he said, "and I don't think that's fair ball." Mr. MacGregor challenged the provincial Liberal party to send its party leader and finance and agricultural critics into the riding to debate issues. He added there will be no more visits from provincial ministers "at my request" "Prom here on," he said, "it's up to me to prove to people I can register their concerns more effectively." Later, following a luncheon meeting in Walkerton, Mr. Whelan denied the charge of elec- tion tampering. "We had this meeting arranged a long time before Bill Davis call- ed the election," Mr. Whelan said. He also noted be attempted to "detour away" from provin- cial issues in his talk, but offered to return and debate them with Mr. MacGregor at a future date. ENERGY A MAJOR ISSUE Following the charge'` of elec- tioneering, Mr. MacGregor ze- iterated his concern with the issue of energy in the provincial election. His research into the issue has made him aware, he said, that "if we play ostrich any longer regarding our diminishing energy resources, Canada may well become a political pawn in the game of international energy chess." He referred to a brief he presented to Premier Davis last April and a study prepared for the Kincardine industrial com- mittee earlier this year, on pro- posed uses for residual heat from the Bruce nuclear power station. The study concluded that use of waste heat energy from the pow- er station is economically viable and recommended concentrating efforts on the areas of greenhouse heating, open field heating and aquaculture. It also recommended locating industries with high energy con- sumption around the plant to re- duce the cost of transporting energy, suggesting that "because of the excellent agricultural po- tential of the area," agricultural processing industries be given first priority. In his brief to Premier Davis, Mr. MacGregor urged full-scale development of the greenhouse project as soon as possible. He also urged research into thermo- nuclear fusion and intense neu- tron generation as viable energy alternatives in this province. Hydraulic power in the pro- vince, he claimed, has been tap- ped to its affordable capacity, while nuclear energy, which pre- sently provides five per cent of Ontario's energy, "is the one source which offers an extended potential for self supplement". He warned that Ontario is "relatively without" an indige- nous energy supply and could find itself in deep trouble if the flow of gas and oil is cut off or re- stricted. Projects such as that planned for Kincardine, Mr. MacGregor felt, will not only conserve energy, but can produce an in- dustrial base to complement the basically agricultural economy of the riding. Questioned about Mr. Mc - 1. Freedom can he sustained only in a society without dis- crimination based on race, col- our, sex or creed. It can hest he preserved in it society com- mitted to justice and the rule of law and to democratic in- stitutions based upon the British Parliamentary System. 2. Fairness and equality of opportunity can beguar- anteed only hya govern- ment prepared to ensure that power is not used un- fairly byanygroup in society, including government itself. 3.Real r0edonican heachieved and maintained only when government is prepared to limit its own growth, patvei and costs. ,/;&2/ 4.

Keough's remark last week that the greenhouse project would be capital intensive and provide relatively few jobs, Mr. MacGre- gor said the project will be "more labor intensive than Darcy thought". Greenhouses in Minnesota em- ploy four to six workers per acre, he said. The initial proposal for Kincardine calls for 400 acres. He also mentioned the possibi- lity of having Ontario Hydro's mandate altered to allow the sale of a second utility: steam. This could be efficiently produced by the Bruce plant's nuclear reac- tors and drawn off for use in food processing industries. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY Suggesting that nuclear fission is a vehicle to "span the yawning energy gap" until ways are found to harness thermonuclear fusion and intense neutron generation, alternatives described as safer than fission, Mr. MacGregor downplayed the potential of re- newable energy resources such as sunlight and wind. Generation of energy from solar heat paralleling the energy potential of the Bruce Want would shelter large areas of land that might otherwise be used for food production, he said, while pro- ducing an equivalent amount of energy from wind power would require three 100 foot mills in every square mile of western On- tario. Hydroelectric projects such as those of Europe in which water is pumped into reservoirs during slack demand periods and then released to generate power dur- ing demand peaks are viable, he agreed, but only as a supplement to the energy grid and not as its sole supply. He ridiculed the idea the Gode- rich salt mines might provide a site for such a project, saying what is needed is a hill and not a hole. What's new at 'Huronview? Eber Lewis was welcomed to the Home at Monday afternoon's old time music and dancing pro- gram. 'Mrs. Driver, Molly Cox, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner provided the music and the Goderich Township Institute volunteers assisted with the activities. Elmer Farrish of Gorrie and Albert Craig of Bayfield shared the Family Night program. On Tuesday evening Mr. Farrish showed colored slides taken while on trips to Africa, Norway and Iceland, and gave a very interesting commentary. Albert Craig sang several favor- ite numbers and led in sing -a- long. Miss Caroline Palmer, formerly from Gorrie, thanked those responsible for the enter- tainment on behalf of the residents. Forty Grade seven students of the East Wawanosh Public School visited the Home on Thursday afternoon and pre- sented a program in the audi- torium, directed by Dave Medd. The students sang several fami- liar songs and provided their own guitar accompanist. Twelve stu- dents presented a skit, "Pollution on Parade". Following the pro- gram the residents were each given a lovely apple. The money for apples and expenses of the trip had keen- raised by the students. Mrs. Wheeler expressed the appreciation of the residents for the program and lovely treat. --The Wingham Advance -Times, June 1, 1977 Page 3 MOST IMPROVED -Most improved bowlers in the Ford- wich league this season were Lorne Behrns and Julie Machan.
