candidate cafik tuesday night saw a record turnout in uxbridge when norm cafik liberal candidate tor ontario riding addressed a capacity crowd in the roxy the atre this was surprising con sidering that the weather was very bad and visibility on the highways was poor norms main topic concerned a national purpose a goal for canada and canadians he said that in 1957 john diefenbaker had a great vision for canada and in 3958 mr diefenbaker asked the peo ple for an opportunity to contin ue again the people returned the conservatives to parliament but unfortunately the conserva tive ideals although very well presented during the campaign were never executed this country needs purpose said cafik and in order to accom- filish this we must first exam- ne the problems facing us and then set about solving them some of the problems present in canada today are chronic un employment the separatist fac tions in the province of quebec who wish the secede and live a- part from the rest of canada the lack of industrial growth throughout the country five to 1en years ago canada was one of the most industrious and pro ductive countries in the world now municipalities who wish to expand their industries and production very often have to borrow money and often from other countries than our own our imports are high our ex ports are low we are simplv not producing enough to build tip our exports to a sound econ omic level another sad fact is that people who have worked hard all their lives thus contri buting to the growth and devel opment of this great country very often simply cannot afford the rest they have so justly ear ned when retirment age comes the liberal dream is one that can be translated in a very prac tical way the liberals want to provide an equal opportunity for every person and to restore the respect from other countries that was enjoyed in the past canada plays a vital role in to days struggle for peace and freedom and she must honour her commitments the conserva tive government in nato made these commitments to help de fend our allies and work with them in securing world peace these commitments have not been met which is why some of mr diefenbakers cabinet mini sters felt they had to resign as these promises had been broken norm went on to say that the conservative government now was like a ship without a cap tain and also without a first and second mate and other members of the crew so essential to prop er navigation this country he went on needs government bad ly strong and stable in a chang ing world we have had too ma ny politicians and not enough statesmen in answer to the conservative accusation that the liberals were obstructing bills they were try ing to put through mr cafik asked how with only 100 members could we possibly out vote them when they had 117 during the first 60 days of the last parliament they passed more bills than ever before or since and none of these had to do with the pressing problems which are worrying us today mr cafik made some very de finite statements concerning lib eral policies he said that they will devote their first term to re storing canadian economic bal ance and bring in legislation on many vital issues one of these is a practical medical plan so lhat no one will ever suffer from financial distress through ill ness another is higher educa- continued below five

at the same time the coun cil was contemplating what ac tion if any it could take at a meeting in brougham mr john williams a ratepayer from bay ridges urged the members to refute the allegations if they knew them to be untrue in my opinion the charges are of a very serious nature and if untrue are libellous he said i personally feel lhat action by the attorney general should be forthcoming damaging effect mr williams suggested that if the attorney generals de partment failed to take any ac tion the initiative would be left solely with the council i feel that the administration should either admit what is true or tie- fend itself he continued whether the statements are true or false it can do nothing but damage to the progress of this township i believe that if the charges made are true the people charged should be dumped from any and all of the town ship affairs slated mr willi ams if the people charged are innocent then just as strongly i believe that they should be cleared and the person or per sons making those charges should be made to pay and pay dearly for the damage done to the reputations of each mem ber of council its employee and administrators cannot be ignored reeve sherman scott sug gested one of three practices could be adopted with referenc to the alleged accusations 1 the people concerned take ac tion 2 the crown take action 3 ignore the charges com
