supporting wife Edna Is engaged daily In meeting new people visiting friends and continually explaining his policy on his government proposal as the potential Wellington representative Amalgamation of ad ministration is his answer to the high costs spent annually on what he terms as too many departments and agencies trying to do the same kind of things ana fighting each other In the process Cat costs Cam feels that with reorganization the Liberal government would bring several ministries into one this cutting down unnecessary costs This duplication overlapping empire- building and ad ministration is costing us plenty he says and referred to an outlined plan that will reduce the number of governmental departments from to 12 which will eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort and money that now exists and gave as an example the department of high ways and department of public works which could be merged into one department of construction and supply where a system of centralized purchasing could be introduced presenting a savings to the taxpayers of million annually More value It time we taxpayers started getting more value for our tax dollars he said and felt strongly that three government divisions under one ministry would also give easier access to required information without having to be buffetted about from one department to another which inevitably costs everyone time and money Looking back over his life as a politician Cam views his past experience with satisfaction His enjoyment of people and his desire to assist and get action when they need it has increased his popularity in his hometown district Always prepared to walk the seventh mile Cam name in the area of Wellington and parti the township of Eramosa has made him a keen favorite the

Regional Government The man whose father served on the Township Council before him says that pie liberal Party has already made a series of studies He feels that with direction from Queen Park Toronto there has to be more between the rural man and those in government No Provincial Body should dictate policy he Indicated unless there has been a careful study on the needs of the people in country areas on a more personal basis Representatives from every district should sit down discuss their problems and requirements from which a comprehensive plan for the overall province should determine the way we should move If Regional Government does not look feasible the plan will be scrapped as far as I m concerned said the forward looking Mr Lush I certainly believe that we 11 require direction from Toronto but it has to be based on the overall needs of the people Meet candidates A Meet the Candidates Night Is being sponsored by the Rock wood and District Ratepayers Association and will be
