1IHIALD Wednesday June 13 19X1 Tragic loss A coroner jury last week recommended signal barriers be installed at the railway crossing where six Milton teens tragically lost their lives March It was reported the families of the teemgers wanted something tangible done as quickly as possible The crossing barrier is a first step but in the long term more needs to be done to protect other teenagers from the fate There is more that can be done to educate drivers in Halton Hills both young and old about the needless risk they take when they drive while impitred The solutions to prevent teens from driving while drinking do not come easily It would not be fair to punish those who obey the law by raising the age limit for a duvers license Us possible to completely police teemgers so they won drink underage Despite age of majority cards access to alcohol is still easily attainable for teens If we cant prevent teenagers from drinking derage lets at least do our best to keep them away from driving while they re impaired For parents that means taking extra care when ding the car out to a son or daughter for the night For the public for the schools and for service clubs there is an opportunity to expand education programs develop more evening activities for teens in town and pressure our government to ban life style related drinking commercials History from our files Its time to

rather was the Georgetown town clerk In the 1950s Kelly was at school with Bob and Ann Menemy and rememb ers mat he and Doug Sargent and joined up on the same day I would bet money that The Herald columns of years ago contain Jim Kelly name Presently he lives In Toronto and is an active member of the Royal Air Force s Escaping Society Mynarski story is told by the pilot Do The plane was burning and gave the order to bail out The mid upper gunner Mynarski was about to do so when he saw his friend was trapped the rear gun turret He went through the flames to free but could not Eventually waved

a starchy upper lip In the face of the latest opinion polls but we re not that easily footed And neither are they What seems to be happening doesn t appeal to them one little bit The survey causing the most indigestion in Tory headquarters indicates that Is John Turner were leader of the Liberal party the Grits would receive the support of percent of decided voters while the Tories under Brian Mulroncy would attract only 41 per cent And it doesn require a mathematical genius to deduce that this would give us another Liberal government The same poll indicated that a Liberal party headed by John Chretien would nose out the Mulroney led Tories by one percentage point to None of the other Liberal leader ship contenders would come close to defeating Ihe Mulroncy Conservatives but then none ore being given much chance of winning It a Turner and Chretien particularly the front runn ing Turner that the Conservatives are concerned about TILINCI1 Mind you there arc many incon to consider such as companion surveys which show that the Tories are still ahead of the Grits in general popularity The latest of these surveys indicates that in terms of voter preference the Tones now lead the Liberals by percentage points of to this giving us a clear indication of a Conservative government But as one concerned Conservative MP observed the results are not necessarily In conflict One question deals with a Liberal party and the other one gets people thinking about a particular leader Naturally we II be ghtlng a Grit party that has a leader But for the record that snot the general reaction Despite an obvious revival In Liberal popularity Brian Mulroney is keeping that lip absolutely rigid Anything that will encourage the Liberals to call an election we re happy with he says just as he said after the previous Gallup poll And in a reference to the poll which showed that leadership aside his party is still ahead of the Grits Mulroney said it was unprecedented to have such results just a few weeks prior to a Liberal leadership convent on What these figures indicate he said is that an immediate election would produce a Conservative govern ment with a handsome majority NO FOOL But the point is there is not going be an immediate election First the Grits are going to choose a new leader in all likelihood either John Turner or Jean Chretien and because of this the Conservat ves forget about polls relating to And if John Turner already leads by six percentage po the Tones arc obviously wondering just how the margin might be affected in he mint weeks as the leadership convention reaches its televised climax Chretien lead could be expected to widen significantly should he be chosen amid all hoopla the convention Mulroncv rational present day events by referring to the fact that every known prominent Liberal is out on the hustings attracting attention to the parly But once he leadership issue is settled and all the attention is rivet ted on just one individual It will be a d ffercnt story There s only going to be one Liberal leader he says And he added that he can scarcely wait to defeat him and form a Tory government in the circumstances there is little else he can soy But after nearly a year of riding on a veritable tidal wave of popularity Mulroncy would be a fool if he concerned with this latest display of voter volatility And a fool he
