Scugog Game & Field Trials, Scugog Township On Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, 1974, there will be a game and field competition held at the Scugog Island Game Pre- serve. Permission has been granted for the use of shot- guns during the event. Lo- cal residents are advised that there will be the dis- charge of firearms and not to be unduly alarmed. Joyce Bowerman continued from each of the 228 divi- sions in the Ontario Riding. No voting figures were announced by Don Gib- son, Chairman of the elec- tion. It was not clear how many of the 912 official delegates were present but all were certainly -not there. Responding to the app- lause when her nomination was announced an over- joyed Joyce Bower- man said. "This is only the begginning. Now the real job starts. The job of gett- ing rid of the Liberal Government in Ottawa." She said she would do her best to represent the 'bread and butter people of the riding." She wanted everyone to join the 'Big Blue Machine' - a machine which would in- volve every Conservative in the fight against the Lib- erals. "We need the big Blue Machine," she said "and the Machine is all of us; people who walk that extra mile; people who knock on that extra door and people who lick that extra enve- lope." Earlier as she appealed for support for her nomina- tion Joyce Bowerman said she was willing to make a- total committment on_ be- half of the party and its members to serve everyone in the riding -- "the young, the old, the comfortable and the under privileged." "We are tired of com- mittees and commissions. We are tired of a govern- ment that constantly acqu- iesces to the NDP to keep itself in power . .because it knows that the people of Canada will re-elect it. The Liberals must go. They are bankrupt of ideas' she told the gathering. She attacked the fede- ral government's policy of selective controls on rising prices. "The govt. takes no cogniznce of the increasing drain that food, clothing and fuel make on our personal budget" she said. "It is frightening to rea- lise that no democracy can continue to exist when infla- tionary rise gets too great . and our rise is too great" she warned, adding it was important her party wins to "maintain our quality of life." Other candidates in their speeches also tackled infla- tion and rising prices. Ian Grant, the youngest candi- date (he is 22) wanted to know how the government could consider 'the World Football League as a mat- ter of paramount impor- tance at this time?" He was talking about rising prices and unemployment. He felt his youth was an asset pointing out William Pitt was elected Prime Min- ister of England at the age of 24. "Michael Bouck's concern was with housing which he said would be his main prime concern in Parlia- . ment if nominated and elec- ted. : Steve Erickson = said Canada should phase out income tax over a three year. period and end the inflationary spiral. 'The govt. has plenty of other revenue and I don't think they will go bankrupt. They are spending too much" he added. Anne Wanstall criticized the recommendation put for ward by the Prices Review Board Chairman, Beryl Plumptre for a two price system. "It sounds great" she said "but it won't work. It would precipitate a trade war and we would lose." "We need a candidate who can beat Cafik so tho- roughly he'll retire from politics and return to public life' she said amidst laughter which increased further when she added "I can do that. I have tangled with him before, both in public - and privately." The Conservatives are the second party to nominate a federal candidate in Ontario Riding. The Liberals have alread nominated Norm Cafik. The other parties are expected to nominate their candidates soon. Provincial Environment Minister William Newman was also present at the con- vention and addressed it while the votes were being scrutinized. ? Lil
