Lundberg on page 9 Canadians becoming snack-happy people - The boom in "munch, crunch and dip" snack foods has drawn major companies into the field and more are expected to jump on the bandwagon. One company _is said to have doubled its volume over the past six years on existing products . TERRACF BAY NEWS Wardrope Nominated - cont'd from front page PAGE 5 E.MclIntosh of Atikokan as 2nd Vice-President, gnd G. O'Neil of Nipigon, again, acting as Secretary- Treasurer . In his acceptance speech, Mr. Wardrope thanked everyone for their confidence, acknowledged the great help given to him by his wife, Blanche, and promised that if elected, he will work towards more development of North Western Ontario and to see that happy conditions are maintained. Conceding that this will be one of the most hard fought elect- ions ever, Mr. Wardrope stressed that Canadians everywhere realize the issues are serious and will demand more than "swing". He drew an apt com- parison on recent governmental attitudes, Canada roaring like a lion at Gabon and meowing like a pussy cat at DeGaulle. He accepted without re- servations the challenge of a rough, touph campaign one about which he has no illusions. Guest speaker, Eric H. Neilsen, the "Fire brand" from Whitehorse, was introduced by S. Hodgkiss, and held the attention of his audience for half an. hour. He warned candidates not to think they are being elected for four years, as his experience has included seven elections in ten and a half years. He predicted that the Conservatives will be in power after the election. Support will be given to the Stanfield government because there is no "Old Guard" and they will be free to devote all their energies to the issues which face the country. Stanfield, he said, is on record as stating that the "Carter Report" will kill the mining industry. Both the Liberals and the N,D.P- are strongly in favour of the report. Not a "Swinger", Stanfield, said Neilsen, is "The quiet voice of reason", concerned with the spiralling cost of living and taxation. The Progres- sive Conservatives do not want a 'stand pat' program for Canada now. Investment and development must be encouraged. Emphasis by the government has been toward a social state. To a degree, this is good, but it should not be universal. Pensions, medicare, etc., should be given only where needed He concluded by saying the Conservatives are a party of Nation builders and after the election, they will be building again. The speaker was thanked by T. Seppala of Ross- port. See photos on page 7
