Libe rai Candidate Opens Orono Campaign Office Enthusiastic party supporters watch as Federal Liberal* Candidate, Dr. Ian Wilson, cuts the ribbon officially opening his campaign headquarters on Main St., Orono. Campaign workers plan to keep the office open daily. The office was opened last Monday afternoon, May 7. Spending by candidates and political parties will be strict- ly lîmited in the May 22nd, Federal General Election. For the first time in a general election, the spending of money on elecf ion campaigns will be governed by a formula which esta- blishes in advance the maxi- mum expenses permitfed by parties and by candidates in each of Canada's 282 electoral districts. Other significant changes, are: - A new system of partial reimbursement of election expenses f0, candidates will be in effect, and there will be a partial rebate of broadcasting costs f0 political parties. -The names of contributors fo gartiles and candidates must e recorded and disclosed in alcases where a contribution exceeds $100. - Contributors f0 parties and candidates will be eligible for an income fax credif on a portion of their contribution. Roger Dube, Director of Election Financing ini the office of the Chief Electoral Officer, is reponsible for administering the provisions of the Canada, Elections Acf dealing with campaign spend- ing and reporting by candi- dates and parties.

The limit on spending by a candidate is esfablîshed by a formula which depends on the number of names on the preliminary lists of electors in a district., The basic formula is: $1 per name for the first 15,000 names, plus 50 cents per name befween 15,001 and 25,000, plus 25 cents per name for the number of names over 25,000. "If we consider an average district with 50,000 names on the preliminary lîst, then a candidate in that district would be limited to election spending of $26,250 by this formula", Mr. Dube points out. The Elections Act also sets a spending limit for- each "registered" politîcal party. (A regîstered party is one which is regîsfered with the Chief Electoral Officer and eifher was represented in the House of Commons on the day before dissolution or which before the 30th day prior f0 polling day has nominated candidates in at least 50 electoral districts. Each party is limited in spending to 30 cents for each name on the preliminary list of electors of ail electoral districts where the party has endorsed an officiai candidate. In conjunction with spend- ing limits, registered parties and candidates may be reim- bursed for part of, their expenses. "On average, a candidate might be reimbursed for one haîf more or less, of his or her total expenses", Mr. Dube says. "As an. example, in a New Law Limits Election Spen ding Farley Mowat Supports NDP Farley Mowat, well known Canadian author, said foday in Port Hope that the voters of Durham Northumberland should throw their support behind New Democratic Party candidate, Fred McLaughlin. Mr. Mowat stated, "It's brutally obvious that neither the Liberal nor, the Conservative party has any real idea how to deal with the economic mess Canada is in - a mess they themselves created! Pious platitudes and glib generalities seem f0 be al they have to offer. Well, we can't afford another five years of their kind of political blunder-bali. Fortunately we don'f have to. In Durham Northumberland we can elect a man who will act like a man, not like an echo. Fred McLaughlin has the competence, courage, compassion and dedication to go to parliament and do a real- job of work on our behaîf. He and his fellow New Democrats can turn the game around and give us effective leadership instead 0of empty words and empty pockets. I'm completely convinced that McLaughlin and his fellow candidates in the New Democrafic Party are not only our best hope for a decent future, they may well be our only hope. Fitness. It gives much more than it takes. Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. Mav 16, 1979 5 Communi.t.y- Centre B'oard Reports fVew Arrivai at Newcastle Arena The Newcastle Communitv Centre Board is Dleased to announce a new arrivai at the Newcastle Village Arena. Weighing 5,500 pounds when delivered last week, the arena's "new baby" is this Olympia ice re- surfacer. The machine has been purchased by the Community Centre Board at a cost of $20,700 and it will be used next season to keep the ice in top-notch condition. Funds to pay for the machine will be provided by Wintario Grants and the extended efforts of the arena fund-raising committee. Interim financing will be supplied by the Town of Newcastle. In this photo, Joe Berney, chairman of the Community Centre Board, and board member Dave Beales admire their new arrivai. The ice re-surfacer is Canadian-built, using the chassis of a GMC truck. It will be powered by propane fuel. ~~" *~ THERE ARE A LOT W"""0F GOOD REASONS TO DRING YOUR CAR TO FIRESTONE *Licensed mechanics e Nationwi de Tire and' *Competitivé prices Ser-vice Warranty backed 0*Brand name parts by 172 company-owned *We return your Stores.

The candidate would receive 17 cents per name, plus eight cents for each of the first 25,000 names and six cents for the remaining 25,000, or a total of $12,00V." A ca ndidate, t0 qualify for reimbursment, either must be elected or obtain 15 per cent of the valid votes. This qualifica- tion also applies to the return of the candidate's $200 deposît that is required to run for office. "Based on by-election experience, we can estimate that reimbursement to candi- dates might amount to some $9 million, assuming an average of 2.5 candidates qualify for $12,000 in each of the 282 electoral districts", Mr. Dube says. "In addition, haîf the cost of 6½/ houfs of broadca.sting time for parties willbe rebated, and this could total $3 million. " Mr. Dube points out that the intent of Parliament, in establishing this system, was to curtail large spending by wealthy candidates, and parties and to make it more practical for those of lesser financial means to run for office. "It is designed to remove the financial barriers and to open up political office to those of moderate means", he says. Spending limits for each candidate in the election will be determîned at least 30 days before polling day, and Returning Officers will inform candidates and their agents of these limits. Each candidate must file a report with the Returning Officer within four months after the election - the return setting ouf ail expenses, plus a breakdown of contributions of money, goods and services, and a list of the names of contributors who donated more than $100. A gummary of this return will be published in a local newspaper. "It is important that each candidate understand that returns must be filed and that spending limits be adhered to", Mr. Dube says. "This may mean a change of practice by candidates. For instance, while scrutineers were often paid in the past, this now may be impractical since this cosf would have to be included in expenses on which there are limits. " Failure to file returns or to keep wifhin expense limifs carry penalties on conviction. The Commissioner of Canada Elections is empowered to investigate alleged breaches of the law and lay charges if necessary.
