in Simcoe South So says Ron Stewart vic torious PC candidate who outdistanced his nearest Liberal competitor Ray Ramsay by more than 12000 votes Stewart said today the area which has been Liberal territory in the past was swayed because people knew we cared Stewart said the PCs knocked on every door in the area Overall Stewart said that if Quebec had given the PCs its support the Tories would have come in with majority government He said he would likely be getting phone call from prime minister elect Joe Clark later in the week to determine his first course of action as MP in Simcoe South

We did improve in the percentage of voters said Mrs Lamb It takes time tobuild up any riding She said the strong anti Trudeau feeling in the riding may have hurt the pqrty She said many more per sons may have voted for the Tories to ensure that Trudeau did not get back in area you enjoy it and any strain in my voice tonight is measure of disappointment he said CONNELL BACK T00 Walter Connell

being counted The mood in Penetangui shene was jubilant and we had good celebrationhe said gt Roe Liberal campaign worker study early returns from Simcoe South polls Ramsay said national swing to the

going fishing for couple of days Examiner Photo Liberal defeat reflects By LORI COHEN Of The Examiner OWEN SOUND The Liberal defeat in GreySimcoe Tuesday night was reflection of the antigovernment trend across the country Jack Morgan Liberal candidate said after his defeat at the hands of Progressive Conservative in cumbent Dr Gus Mitges Morgan Meaford secon dary school teacher lost with 11191 votes to Dr Mitges 20901 ratio of almost two to one He said the Liberals lack of support had lot to do with voter perception of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau The Liberal defeat was gut reaction against the prime minister he said Its per sonality thing Morgan said he thought the election in GreySimcoe should have been lot closer expected to win he stated but Im not dishearten ed have felt lot better Disappointed is the word Feeling little sad and lit tle down Morgan said he had always admired the prime minister The Liberals took six of the 224 polls in the riding with the rest in PC hands

riding By NANCY FIG UEROA Of The Examiner Surprise that was the key word in the landslide victory of the Progressive Conservatives Tuesday in the riding of WellingtonDufferinSimcoc Harry Greene Liberal canr didate was surprised he won only six of 244 polls Jeff Koechlin New Democratic Party candidate was surprised the Conser vatives won as many votes as they did 25861 of 42145 And Perrin Beatty MPelect was surprised with the even distribution of his win WellingtonDufferinSimcoe new this year includes parts of the former ridings of Peel DufferinSimcoe formerly represented by Ross Milne Liberal and parts of WellingtonGreyDufferin Waterloo Beatty The new riding formed after redistribution subsequent to the 1976 Representation Order in cludes about 60 per cent of Beattys former riding and about 32 per cent of Milens former riding Beatty did not anticipate pro blems in the west end of the riding but did not imagine he would win in as many eastend stations as he did We didnt expect that size of win nor did we expect it to be so evenly distributed he said Beatty said his partys mor tgage interest and property tax deduction program probably attracted many of his consti tuents But he said the major factor in his success and in that of his party was the Liberals It was the governments formerly held by records more so than anything else he said It was the Trudeau record Although the NDP did not win one of the 244 polling stations they came second in two said Koechlin Im fairly pleased with the results he said Koechlin however expected the party to have greater suc cess nationwide We didnt have quite the breakthrough we expected he said Like Beatty Greene said the election results seemed to be strong vote against the Prime Minister Canadians he said have tough fight ahead of them hope we can pull together and keep Canada prosperous he said Silica industry unusual Midland home of indusmin By BRIAN BAKER MIDLAND One of the most unusual industries in Simcoe County is that of Indusmin Ltd at Midland where mountain of high grade quartz stone is processed into sand and flour grades of silica in the plants big crushing mills Huge quantities of these silica products are shipped by rail to industries throughout Ontario and beyond Large quantities of silica are used by the manufacturers of Portlaan cement Other uses include in cleansers fibreglass insula tion ceramics window glass container glass and for sand blasting The rock itself comes from Indusmins Badgeley quarry near Kollarney on the north shore of Georgian Bay It is brought to the Midland plant in lots up to 30000 tons at time in bulkselfunloading freighters It is precrushed to conve nient twoinch five cen timeter size for shipment quarter of million tons or more winters supply can be stockpiled for overwinter pro duction at this Midland plant BUILT IN 1970 The $7 million plant was built in 196869 and was brought into production in 1970 Due to in creased demands for silica pro ducts operations on the plant have been stepped up to seven days week around the clock Indusmin now employs fifty hourly and sixteen salaried employees Indusmin is one of several operations located mainly in Ontario but also in Quebec Spruce Pine North Carolina and Columbus Ohio Indusmin is major producer of the rare mineral nepheline syenite and is also involved in the produc tion of limestone products and alloy steels massive ships anchor which was discovered during construction of the plant and is now displayed on the lawn in front of the plant office The plant has highly effi cient pollution control and dust reclamation equipment Air from the tall exhaust stack out side is monitored around the clock by dust dcctors and the information is recorded on revolving twentyfour hour graphs There is also gasrfired rotary kiln 60 feet long and eight feet in diameter This machine is fitted with tumblers like cement mixer and these carry the stone up and around and let it fall back through the heat of the kiln to remove all moisture STONECRLSIIIZI The stone is then crushed and screened to minus halfinch size and conveyed to dry storage From there it is fed into the big primary grinding mill 14 feet long and 11 feet in diameter where fourinch 10 cm steel grinding balls reduce the stone to 116 incnsize recirculating oversize material There are two secondary tube mills each 26 feet long and seven feet in diamter used to produce silex flour grade silica for among other things use in the manufacture of fibreglass and in concrete cement One of them produces silex flour for the ceramic and cleanser in dustries The underisze material goes to an air classifier which removes as much minus200 mesh material as possible sen ding it directly to product storage to be used by the autoclave block industry The remaining coarse fraction is put across 24 screens which further remove the fines down to the glass producers specifications of between 30 and 200 mesh Now after leaving the primary crusher the sand is put through magnetic separator to remove any iron particles picked up during mining opera tions handling and in the dryer and primary crusher explain ed Bill Scott production superintendent Glass sand must be particulary pure because iron contaminants will turn the glass green In fact in the glass industry when green glass is called for iron or chromium compounds are add ed to the mix before firing to produce green glass Because we are looking for as pure product as free from contaminants as possible the two secondary tube mills are lined with jasper stone and the grinding balls are of fused alumina to assure that our pro duct is chemically pure This quartz is one of the hardest and most abrasive of natural occuring materials thereis The dry silica flours and sands are very dusty therefore we use what we call air con veyors to move them into the storage silos and into the rail and transport loading hoppeis These are special boxenclosed conveyors made with finer perforated canvas floors bet ween the top and bottom halves Low air ressure is forced through the ittom half and this suspends the material in the top half and gives it floating action which moves it along six degree slope with surprising case Inside soundproof control room Scott operates the plant Bill Scott production superintendent at indusmin Lids Midland Silica production plant shows an vironmental control graph part of the semi automated main plant control panel
