6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. January 29, 1985 Stevenson says Miller not as right-wing as media paints him (From page 1) 'other delegate from Durham-York supported Mr Grossman campaign during the Convention. The leadership of the Party was captured by Mr. Miller on the third and final ballot by a margin of 77 votes over Mr. Grossman. Mr. Stevenson said he wasn't surprised at. either the outcome of the voting or Mr. Grossman's strong show- ing. He said he began to get a feeling in the final days prior to the Conven- ~ tion that Mr. Grossman was picking up momen- tum and doing better than some of the polls indicated. 'That became evident by the amount of support he (Grossman) picked up on the second and third ballots. But all along I had the feeling it was going to go three ballots," he said. Mr. Stevenson, tired and weary after a hectic convention in which he had little sleep over letters Can't enforce snow by-law Dear Sir: After the last election | figured we had elected a group of knowledgeable men on council.

Had Mr. Grossman captured the leadership, that scenario likely would have been revers- ed for Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson had strong words of praise for the new leader and the vigorous campaign he waged to succeed William Davis. "He (Miller) worked very hard on this. He looked to be in very good shape," he stated. Mr. Stevenson down- played the suggestion that Mr. Miller might be an "interim or caretaker leader." "I think he'll be here for at least two elec- tions," he said. And Mr. Stevenson also had words of praise for Dennis Timbrell, who was knocked off the se- cond ballot, and then threw his support behind Mr. Grossman. "That took a lot of HELPFUL HINTS To open a frozen lock -- heat the key with a cigarette lighter or a match. Never force the key. Turn very gently. Health and safety first Dear Sir: Two related sub- headings in the Toronto Sunday Star has pro- mpted this letter. The headings "Workplace safety is the Issue, and Gas Bars needn't be targets,"' both concern health and safety in the work place. In one of the editorials stated above it mentions that the fault is either in insufficient legislation or lax enforcement of ex- isting legislation to pro- tect the employee from harm. In the second editorial it claims that no protec- tive law exists. It then cites the precautions the New Democratic govern- ment of Manitoba has enacted to attempt to give more protection to employees of all night establishments. These are examples of the kind of atrocities that slowly creep into the work place when we have a government that prefers not to interfere with business and allows Letters to the Editor policy It has always been the policy of this newspaper to encourage our readers to make use of the letters to the editor column. Our readers have a right to freely express their opinions and viewpoints on just about any subject, and we feel that a lively letters column helps make a better community newspaper. We insist, however, that a letter writer sign his or her name. On rare occasions, we will agree to with-hold publication of a letter writer's name, if we feel there are very good reasons to do so. Under no circumstances will this paper ° print an anonymous letter to the editor. While, we enjoy receiving letters from our readers, we must continue to insist on know- ing the identity of the writer companies to regulate their own priorities. With the election of Frank - Miller as the new Conser- vative Party leader and Premier, whose pro- claimed objective is towards less government regulation of business, it is doubtful if We can ex- pect any improvement in the control of hazardous working conditions in this province. Unfortunately, it re- quires government legislation and enforce- ment to control the neglected or uncaring practices of the relative- ly few companies that seek to gain a com- petitive edge or improv- ed profit picture by neglecting employee safety. The New Democratic - Party recognizes that profits are necessary but also, that is should not be necessary to sacrifice an employee's health or safety to produce profits.

He could have gone to Miller and turned the last ballot into a joke. "And it may hurt his (Timbrell) chances in the Miller government," said Mr. Stevenson. The Durham-York MPP said he would not rule out the possibility of a provincial election as early as June. There are three by-elections that must be held by the first week in June and that could be one of the "trig- gers" for a general election.
