Lynda Vaillancourt, daughter of Mr. and Huronia Crafts Guild by Adrienne Gardner and Marlene Pruesse Ten members gathered at the Huronia Crafts Guild House on the evening of May 1 for the first of two sessions in craft display techniques given by Julia Cameron. Julia Cameron is a partner in the Artisans' Marketplace crafts shop in Midland, and well qualified as an instructor in techniques for display and sales of crafts. She began the evening by pointing out some differences between bazaars and craft shows. Bazaars are usually organized in support of a charity, and customers expect to make a small donation while picking up a bargain item. Customers at a craft show, on the other hand, are looking for originality, creativity, quality and exclusivity in the wares displayed. They will be turnedoff by any synthetic gaudiness, shoddy materials, or poor workmanship. Julia advised that craftspeople make an effort to be "trendy" by following fads and fashions closely and producing items to serve as complimentary props for a trend. For example, appliqued tennis racquet covers would sell well during the present tennis boom. The majority of purchases at craft shows and shops are made by young working people, impulse buyers and early Christmas shoppers. They are on the look- out for novel items, new and fresh ideas. It is important that the display create an instant appeal, attracting customers to the booth. This must be followed up by a confident, pleasant sales pitch by the craftsperson. All items should be signed or tagged for added personal value, and well marked with firm prices beforehand. Next Monday night, Julia will cover actual plans for sample booths, using crafts made by Guild members to demonstrate display techniques. : Sweeping lines, angles, soft contours, blends of charcoal on paper; amateur to advanced students are applying themselves to alife drawing course given by John Gould in his Waubaushene studio.

Dr. Rynard noted in a telephone' interview Monday that such questionnaires are usually responded to by about seven per cent of those who receive them, and said he was "delighted" with the response to the y a"? ™, Mrs. Ray lVaillancourt, Penetanguishene, and Doug McCann, Barrie, took top questionnaire issued to Simcoe North con- stituents. Dr. Rynard interpreted the response to his questionnaire as a per- sonal vote of confidence. "The first thing you have to realize is the close connection between me and the riding," 78-year- old Dr. Rynard said when asked to account for the eae aoe 42 Robert Street West, honours in intramural golf competition. Lynda is a graduate of Penetanguishene Secondary School and is usually brisk reaction. The 12 item question- naire revealed _ that Simcoe North voters have strong sentiments on the issues of capital punish- ment, legalization of marijuana, retention of the monarchy, and resource and industrial development. It also revealed that voters are uncertain on the question of Quebec separatism, specifically on whether Quebec's status in Confederation should be decided by a provincial referendum. In this category, 76 per cent of the people who returned questionnaires stated that they had not formed an opinion on the question. Twenty-four per Activ The response shown by Simcoe North householders towards Dr. P.B Rynard's in- formation questionnaire foretells of an active campaign in the riding once a federal election is called, agree Liberal candidate Dr. Jack Ramsay and NDP can- didate Fayne Bullen. In separate interviews Monday, both candidates stated their thoughts on the questionnaire, and discussed the im- plications of the fact that about 5,000 people took the time to fill it out and return it to the MP's office. Dr. Ramsey said the response to the questionnaire shows that Simcoe North con- stituents are going to play an active role in the upcoming federal elec- tion "T think it was an in- teresting response,' Dr Ramsay said. "I think the fact that people are taking the time to fill it out is a good sign that the constituency is healthy, and people are concerned about the issues facing the country That response will probably translate into active campaigning once an election is announced."' Dr. Ramsay said that he had examined the questionnaire, and had found some questions to enrolled in the College's General Business Program, be confusing cent said they thought the ,question should be decided by a provincial referendum, and, in- terestingly, no one said they were totally against a referendum. Dr. Rynard attributed voters' hesitation to express an opinion on the Quebec question on the uncertain political climate in that province since the election of Claude Ryan as provincial Liberal leader. "The question is a difficult one, and I think it is smart to answer it in that way," he said. "'It's so difficult to determine what's going on there." Voters were definitely more convinced of their position on the question of ecampalgnseen "Some of the questions were a little confusing in the sense that they dealt with provincial issues. It seemed confusing to put those kinds of questions on a questionnaire sent out by a federal MP,"' Mr. Ramsay commented. Fayne Bullen viewed the response to Rynard's questionnaire from a slightly different per- spective "<0 think] = sitrsieea significant response. It was basically a response to Dr. Rynard's plea as to whether he should run again. The obvious timing of the questionnaire was a political decision to assess his strength, and obviously he has con- siderable support," Mr Bullen said. Mr. Bullen went on to criticize the question- naire, charging that it steered away from local issues in favour of such questions as national unity and capital punish- ment. "What we've had in this riding under Re representation has been a failure to touch the issues of local concern, and this questionnaire is just one more example of that. It doesn't ask people what they think of local issues such as unemployment and low wages," argued Mr. Bullen.

Eighty-nine per cent said they .favoured the re- instatement of the death penalty for crimes such as murder, kidnapping, and aircraft hi-jacking. Nine per cent were op- posed, and only two per cent said they had no opinion. Dr. Rynard said he believed the --over- whelming response in favour of re-instatement of the death sentence stems from a desire on the part of voters to see a return to physica! punish- ment for physical crimes Simcoe North voters also expressed a strong sentiment against the legalization of marijuana. Seventy-five per cent said they were opposed to making the drug legal, and 18 per cent said they were in favour of such legislation. As Dr. Rynard's questionnaire indicates, Simcoe North householders still hold the monarchy in high esteem. Seventy-eight per cent said they were in favour of retaining the monarchy as a form of government, 17 per cent said they were against the monarchy, and five per cent said they didn't have an opinion.

Dine Rynard's questionnaire also con- tained questions covering issues ranging from compulsory retirement to government-subsidized hospital expenses.

While the results of Dr. Rynard's questionnaire have been released at a time when the an- nouncement of a federal election is imminent, the member of parliament continues to maintain a non-committal stance on the question of his can- didacy. "T'll make that decision when Trudeau decides to call an election,"' he said.
