Naturally, the two who according to recent opinion polls were way below Liberal David Peterson in popularity were taking taking dead aim at him as the one to beat, and it worked quite well. Bob Rae of the NDP came through lookln, like a white knight dedicated to curing the ills of a! working people. Larry Grossman made quite a point of the Liberals' failure to properly fund the education system. And Mr. Peterson appeared to be on the defensive defensive and at times not too comfortable.

It would seem to us that the wrong people were on board when the jet went down. Perhaps part of the looters' punishment should include a personal apology to the families of the victims. mmsasBi 1 1 UsSfiSt & .V A 1 V » -v. .... - ...... i Young Soccer Players Do Well in International Tournament The Darlington Selects were a happy group when this photo was taken Sunday afternoon in Donegan Park, Cobourg.
