Jack Riddell, incumbent
Liberal MPP for Huron -
Middlesex, sent the board a
copy of a letter he had
written to James Snow,
Ministry of Transportation
and Cominunications, ex-
pressing concern that the
ministry had turned down a
request for traffic lights at
an intersection in Dublin.
The request was made in the
wake of , a recent fatal ac-
cident at the corner, which
has been the scene of
previous fatal accidents. Mr.
Riddell noted the main
concern is that eight school
buses cross the intersection
each day.
Board Chairman Ronald
Murray reminded members
the Congress on Education is
coming up June 20 in
Calgary. He invited those
wanting to go to submit their

wear gloves — she wore a
gas mask as well.

He also stated that good

velopment.
He reiterated his commit-
ment to move into the riding
if elected. He said he is "not
afraid of hard work and cold
weather", and promised to
win the riding back for his
party.

resented by Liberal Murray
Gaunt for 181/2 years. Prior
to that the seat was held by
Conservative John Hanna
until his death.
Guest speaker, Larry
Grossman, minister of in-
dustry and tottrism under the
Davis government, dis-
missed the opposition
Liberal party as "irrele-
vant", and commented on
NDP leader Michael
Cassidy's "reverse Moses
routine" in which he leads
his party back into the
wilderness.
He also criticized the
"negativism" » of Liberal
leader Stuart Smith and
made reference to Smith's
labelling of Ontario's
economy as "crummy". Mr.
Grossman told his audience
that a PC government under
Premier William Davis is
dedicated to building Ontario,
and that the Huron -Bruce
area is one with great poten-
tial. He said that he sees the
riding's strong industrial
and agricultural base as one
with tremendous spin-off
opportunities for the future.
The Huron -Bruce PC Asso-
ciation also selected its offi-
cers for 1981 at the meeting.
Barry Schmidt of Kincardine
is the new president and
Barb Fisher also of Kincar-
dine, is the new vice-presi-
dent. Harry Clark of Port
Elgin will also serve as a
Vice-president.

own council shorts
The topic of railroad
service to Wingham
resurfaced at the meeting of
town council last week, with
Mayor Bill Harris reporting
the town has received a
number of responses to its
letter of protest.
He said the railroads are
looking at a number of
alternatives, including the
possibility of a siding from
the CN line to the Premium -
Lloyd door factory. "The
feeling I got was they want to
hold the (CN) line through to
Kincardine."
Councillor Dick LeVan
commented that while
council should continue to
support the door factory in
its fight to keep the service it
needs, it shouldn't dictate to
the railroads how to provide
that service.
There's no question rail
service is going to
deteriorate, he said, but he
doesn't' see it as a key at-
traction in developing the
industrial base of the town.
"I don't think the future
industrial growth of the town
of Wingham is tied to the
railroad.'
Councillor Jim Currie was
less sympathetic toward the
rail. companies,declaring,
"Their rational plan isn't
very rational. It's a plan of
expediency."
"I think it's important that
someone gag in there and
tells these people' a few
things," he added,» ceiling

Council agreed to have its
property committee meet
with the parking authority of
the Wingham Business Asso-
ciation to discuss a parking
study 'prepared for the town
in. 1979. The study suggests
there is a need for more
customer parking in the
town core.
Councillor Jim Currie told
council the business associa-
tion, and particularly the
parking authority, "is in a
state of shell -shock" because
of their treatment -,by the
previous council. "It's time
for some fence -mending," he
suggested, adding that, "It's
nonsense to say there's no.
need for. parking in
Wingham."
Tom Miller, property com-
mittee chairman, • reported
his committee has set up a
reserve for parking in • its
budget, and recommended it
meet with the authority to
talk things over.

town:.
It also has started working
to get provincial approval
