Home of Hills Established 866 A Ctudaa Newspapers Company Limited Georgetown L7C Ontario PAUL J TAYLOR and General Manager PHONE SECTION A THE HERALD November IT ISM Potential for change seems everywhere It might be too fleeting an impression but it occurs to us that everywhere these days there is the potential for positive change from the civic level herein Hills to the highest government level guiding the worlds evolution Wed like to express fer vent hope on behalf of all people that those entrusted with that potential to change will not let ft slip and certainly will not abuse it With the municipal election just passed inauguration dates are being scheduled for Halton Hills council Halton regional council Halton Hills Hydroelectric Commission and the Halton board of education and its Roman Catholic coun terpart All terms are for three years certainly enough time to at least conceive some solutions to the many problems facing taxpayers at the civic level For town council especially with a new official plan awaiting final approval the time was never better to resolve disputes over the future growth of the Acton and Georgetown urban centres The more controversy over ministry of natural plans for the towns aggregate Is another major issue deman ding quick and effective atten tion The condition of rural roads the quality of recreation and perhaps most important of all the cost of living as it relates to municipal services are other items that should keep council busy Failure to resolve these issues before election time rolls around again in would have terrible con sequences on all Hills citizens For the school boards the issue remains the same main taining quality education while keeping costs low Difficult but not impossible its a job you trustees nave taken upon your selves Well hold you to it For the provincial gover nment and the regional gover nments it guides so closely the provision of health care and social services in these crucial times must receive more sup port and attention These are not luxuries to be trimmed in favor of say bolstering sagging companies The new leader of the New Democratic Party in particular promises to keep the provincial gover nment on its toes and for a majority government still deeply entrenched after 30odd years nothing could be more welcome For the federal gover nment a busy agenda indeed A prime minister and a party in decline the Liberal gover nment has little time left to im prove the economy curtail rising unemployment and otherwise bolster Canadas position on the priority list well behind the deflated dollar and thejobcrisis In global politics two even ts this conspire to force our government to carefully watch international relations and take measured steps when necessary the result of the municipal referenda on disar mament and the death of Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev These are critical times In one brief period the various governments in Canada have Been reshaped put on their guard and further warned of impending danger Theirs is the power to change We hope they will not let electors down again Holding power is trouble in unsettled Belle Province By Stewart MacLeod From the Ottawa Bureau of The Herald For federal political parties part icularly the- Progressive Conservat Ives the currant situation In Quebec la to say the least unsettling- The deserve mention merely because there now la a provincial party on the scene and federal Tory spokesmen say tbey will ignore it That tends to add a new dimension to interparty cooperation How a federal party can Ignore a party of the same stripe isnt exactly clear but we II see Meanwhile Tory Leader Joe Clark has been careful not to close the door on Parti Quebecols support saying that we welcome support from what ever quarter It comes And while all this is going on the Parti itself has decided to postpone a decision on whether it should enter federal politics This means the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal Party has to a decision on bow it will campaign to maintain Its massive in the province The Liberals now hold of the provinces teats MANY UNDECIDED And Just to ensure that no party knows exactly where it stands in the province the Gallup pollsters have Informed everyone concerned that a surprising per cent of Quebecers are undecided about bow they will vote in the next election naturally this is of greatest concern to the liberals who clearly have the most to lose Surveys taken by the Parti Que- becois have indicated that they could win from to SO seats if a federal election were held now Buttbeydont 1 know bow this strength might up in the future and understand ably reluctant to commit themselves to running federally The liberals are already cam paigning heavily to display a greater federal presence In the province and MPs Including cabinet ministers have been turning up all over Quebec to point out federal projects and achieve ments But this is designed largely to offset provincial government publicity about what is doing for the voters At the moment said one Quebec Liberal MP we dont know who the enemy be in the next federal election and be cant go on the offensive until then DIFFERENT PROBLEM Joe Clarks problems are decided ly different He knows who his enemy will be His rouble Is establishing who bis friends might be If the Parti decided not to run federally there is every indication In fact Premier Leveaque has as much as said so tha Ms people will extend a friendly hand to the federal Tories simply to break the Liberal stranglehold on the province However should the decide to seek an Ottawa presence it will be forced to fight against the Tories The situation is somewhat delicate until the matter I decided And then there to that little nuisance about the formation of a Party some thing that baa not existed in the put What happened was mat soma Quebec Conservatives got together formed a party and named Rivera a SByearold chiropractor as interim leader We were taken by surprise said an aide to Clark And party President Peter Blalkte said that 1 dm plan to give it any attention whatsoever should the new provinc ial party start growing it cant be Ignored indefinitely particularly when its primary objective will be to attack the Parti The federal party will be forced to make choice The only party that is basically troublefree la Quebec is the New Democratic Party- and thats because they are seat free and so far as the Immediate future Is concerned they appear destined to stay that way Did you know Prom The Heralds Did You
