Liberal (Continued From Page One) Sudbury and Kenora, which are represented. by Liberal members. .They are getting their share. of government projects and work. "The reason is that these Liber- gl members get up and fight for their people. They cannot be si- lenced by a leader who doesn't want his government criticized by someone in his own party. rther, it is generally agreed i { the Liberals will form the next government after the election in two years time. It would be of benefit to this riding to have a Liberal member in the Legislature now so that he can gain the ex- perience and contacts needed for him to help carry out an effective |- . program for this riding." Mr. Plaunt said the people of Temiskaming were getting nothing from the 'government but. prom- ises, promises which happened to be made at election time but were never carried out after the gov- ernment had been returned. A flood of empty promises could be expected in the last days of the campaign, he said. He said that a committee set up by the govern- ment to report and study on such important matters to the North as transportation and forestry have been' branded by Chambers of Commerce and municipalities as useless. In no case did the committee present any objective analysis nor did they come: up with any -pro- jection towards solution. One rea- son is that no person from North- ern Ontario was appointed to the committee. Mr. Plaunt said the north faced a two-pronged problem: (1) the need for new industry and (2) im- mediate government help to halt the trend of industry closing up and moving out of Northern On- tario. - "Can anyone say with sincerity that the Conservative government has made a sincere, earnest effort to meet these problems which mean so much to the future of the people of Temiskaming?"' Mr. Plaunt asked. 'The Liberal- Party is ,pledged to the formation of a Department of Northern Development which will look after the needs and wishes of the north. The deputy minister would have his office in the north, not in Toronto, where he can see and meet problems first-hand. "Tt is time the people of Temisk- aming and northern areas stopped paying a penalty because they do not live in Southern Ontario,"' Mr. Plaunt said. » Mr. Plaunt has also levelled strong criticism against the C.C.F. party. He called it a ghost party that will be dead in a few months. "My C.C.F. opponent has prom- ised many things,' Mr. Plaunt said, '"'but why didn't he do the things he has promised when he served his three terms in the Leg- islature?"' "Why didn't he run in the last general election? Why has he sud- denly blossomed forth as a can- didate once again? Doesn't he like the Toronto atmosphere?" _ Mr. Plaunt emphasized 'that he knew the problems of the riding first hand because of his deep roots here. "J am making no wild prom- ises," he said. "What I have said I will be able to do." Tonight Mr. Plaunt will speak at a meeting in New Liskeard at the Community Hall. Farquhar Oliver, M.P.P., distinguished orator, and Mrs. Jean Brown, president of the Ontario Liberal Women's Federa- tion, will also speak. On Friday night, Mr. Plaunt and Hon. Paul Martin, M.P., one of Canada's most distinguished men, will speak in Englehart at the High School Auditorium. | On Saturday night, Mr. Plaunt will be seen on television over CFCL-TV at 6:30 o'clock, in a 15-minute telecast. : Monday night, Mr. Plaunt J. Godin, M.P., will speak in' sy 8oile Vallee at the Notre Dame de Bon Secours Church auditorium. On Tuesday night, Mr. Plaunt and J. H. Habel, M.P., will speak at. Earlton at the St. Jean Baptiste Church , hall. In 'the current year Ottawa es- timates it will collect $795 million in sales tax on goods manufactur- ed in Canada. Pills Kill Child .

"Their claim is that the Depart- ment of Education has 'a pinch- penny policy for'Temiskaming edu- cational 'grants' is greeted with: de- rision "by all informed 'persons,"' | said Mr. Hoffman, "'and munici- palities receiving as high as 93 per cent assistance for 'schools wonder just how stupid these pol- iticians. think they are." "There is another angle to this promise of 100 per cent support for schools," pointed out Mr. Hoff- man, "Immédiately an y~govérn- ment starts to pay' 100 per cent of school costs, it will. mean: the wiping' out: of all Iocal school boards; and the: substitution of complete ' control from .-Queen's Park. The Conservative govern- ment thinks. that you would rather pay a small percentage of the costs of education in your own' munici- pality, and continue to have the complete say as to-who will edu- cate your children, and what they will be taught." Still speaking 'of-education, Mr. Hoffman said; "I notice that one party, in 'their cartoon campaign, has tucked the '"'School for Retard- ed Children"in their bag-of elec- tion tricks." "My position on this matter is that the 'school 'should be built in the best possible location for the children, and the most convenient for the' parents: who will. -be -visit- ing them.' "T resent any nitemnat to. make a political issue. of) this- matter, and would like to point out that your own Chamber of Commerce has made an able presentation' to the Minister -of Health, outlining the advantages of placing the school here. The Chamber of Com- merce delegation told last week of the fair hearing -they were given, and said they came away.from Toronto satisfied that if this area is the best possible, place for the school it will be built here." Again and again Mr. Hoffman stressed the point that other par- ties are fighting a prestige battle for their federal and provincial parties. '"'They hope to prove that their parties are on the march," he said, "but what good will that do you, if the march is away from Temiskaming."' "T don't have to fight for thef prestige of the Conservatives, they have already won it with able leg- islation, and a high regard for in- dividual and municipal rights," said Mr. Hoffman, "and all I want is the opportunity to go to Queen's Park and fight for Temiskaming."' -FINDLAY ELECTRIC says: FOLKS! uh COME IN AND W AND went EIDiavatn vou "THIS any maar C3 FINDLAY ELECTRIC CONTRACTING -WIRING & REPAIRS OIL BURNER SERVICE-RADIO SERVICE 05-236 § 346 CECIL ST. HAILEYBURY (CCE (continued. from page one) ing up some rank-and-file Liber- al support... At the Dack hall last night Mr. Taylor said: "genuine Liberals are supporting the CCF in this campaign out of disgust with the official organization which in 1955 stood aside so that the Conservatives would win."' While clubbing the Liberals as nothing but 'me-too' Tories, the CCF has been knocking hard at the Conservative government. In a speech at the Canadian Le- gion. hall in Cobalt, Reg Gisborn, CCF member for Wentworth East, charged that the Conservatives are getting ready to impose a provin- cial sales.tax. He suggested that the government should impose heavier burdens on .the forest. in- dustry, which he charged, pays back hardly enough to support the }government departments that as- sist it. He claimed that the Ontario min- ing industry. last year produced some $960 million dollars, but that taxes paid by the industry to the province was. only about 12. mil- lion. . Tipplers would- also pay- more, or at least the brewing industry would under the CCF.. Mr. Gis- born said that in the Jast fiscal year the government got: some 76 million out. of the -brewing -indus- try, but more' could be raised. ° Mr. Gisborn'is also in favor of higher. corporation taxes. -He said that a one per. cent increase would bring in about $17 million; and a three percent increase about $50 million. "These sources must be explived before we take any more out of the pockets of those now -hard hit, the wage earner and farmer," he remarked.

Ames, veteran CCF worker, has charged that the Liberals are tearing down CCF signs. He said that on a recent trip to Elk Lake he put up a number of signs, but they were torn down and replaced time. "We want to fight.a clean cam- 'paign," he said. ' Doc' Ames believes that the CCF is going *to- win this election.
