Ihavebeenaskedtodo the May provincial election directory Campaign headquarters Lib US St Georgetown NDP Byron Street Georgetown L1G PC US Street Georgetown Lib Mill Street Acton Avenue Acton PC Mill Street Acton election Progressive Conservative Peter Doug Ham Iton and Liberal Don Knight I thought this would be an easy task but believe me ail three are so dynamic in their personalities and beliefs Mr Pomeroy seems to have a very striving personality He has a lot of Taurus in him not necessarily his birth He can be very stubborn on principal matters but not bull headed There Is a d i net difference I of course do not make predictions as to who will win this campaign and fortunately for me I don because this one will not be easy I also see Mr as a dom figure in any environment Peler is also a perfectionist In many ways but I feel he should start pace himself energy wise as this can be a strain on his health in the latter part of candidate Doug Hamilton has a lot of traits in him this means he is a home person and will do any Ihlng possible to keep the en father this again Burlington riding being his Cancerian in good order homing instincts He is very much a heritage person and proud of It I see Doug as having a very pleasing personality and easy to talk to his mind Is very open to suggestions and I believe he will try any new Ideas constructive to his ridino 1 also see a change In his marital status before the age of 30 and I see him wilh two children Ho will make an excel Candidate Don Knight Is a definite gogetter You don have to be psychic to see this Don is very much in control of both his political and personal goals Mr Knight has a very tious streak In him and it is difficult to get him to slow down when he sets his mind to an Issue I fine him to be very honest straight forward and caring for his fellow feel his door will always be open to his supporters wish all the dates the best and as I mentioned earlier this Is not going to be an easy vote for the constituents due to the fact that we have three very devoted men In the running Georgetown a District Y Invites You To Their 6th Gala Auction CANADIAN AND Friday April 121985 Preview PM Auction
