the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hallon Hills Established 866 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 45 Guelph Street Georgetown 3Z6 Ontario GARNET COWSIIX Publisher and General Manager DAVE Editor PHONE 2201 J STEVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday August IMS Courting Toyota Oh what a feeling Toyota It s courting time across Canada with communities fighting for a chance to bend an ear at Toyota Halton Hills will be making a bid along with all the others in an attempt to have the manufacturer build cars in town But how realistic are the chances As town planner Bob Crews says until we know more about what the company wants its difficult to say In the meantime the town has put out a strong message saying we re willing to talk and explain all the fine things the town has to offer That s good because we could use a Toyota plant Just think of the benefits more jobs more property tax revenue and instant recognition across Canada Halton Hills would be known as the site of the new Toyota plant in Canada The location of the new car plant in town would enhance our reputation as the home to some outstanding firms which do business throughout Canada and the world When Toyota comes down to making a choice we do have some strong factors in our favor We re close to a major transportation network which includes the airport and Highway Land is considerably cheaper in Halton Hills and spinoff automotive industries are located nearby skilled and semi skilled workers from the town and Brampton are available But until we know more about land requirements and what kind of servicing is needed our speculation is mere wishful thinking In the meantime let be aggressive in our approach by telling em what we got to offer A poor showing It s been proven effective elsewhere but Georgetown isn t convinced of a need for a Neighborhood Watch That s the indication the police must be receiving ter years of encouraging the program Only a few streets in Georgetown have committed themselves to Neighborhood Watch The program essentially helps police by having neighbors watch out for suspicious people or incidents on their street Neighbors have each others phone number and periodically check when on holidays Naturally the police want the program to work in town the way it has Milton and Acton A person familiar with their street has a better idea of suspicious characters and trespassers than does an officer cruising in a police car Georgetown t immune to break ins One only has to check the weekly police report to realize this All it takes is a little cooperation among neighbors And you d be surprised how many new friends meet along the way if you can get your street interested call the Haiton Police and they II guide through the program Leaving God out of our lives By FATHER KEN Matthew Mark Luke and John Gospel describe for Us the event where Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fish and fed a Huge crowd of people Jesus the prophet who is to come Into the world feeds a crowd of five thousand with five barley loaves and two fish The seeming inadequacy of the resources to meet the need Is express ed In question form Andrew the Apostle asks What 1b that between bo many We are reminded of Mary question to the angel Gabriel How will this be to which she received the Nothing is Impossible to God We Twentieth Century North Americans lend to leave God out of liven areas such as marriage difficulties financial problems unemployment our health Some leave Him out because they do not believe He exists Others leave Hun out because they do not believe He Is Interested in the many details of their daily lives Still others leave Him out because they do not believe it Is possible for Him to do anything about their situation The Gospel passage about the multlpllcatl on of toe loaves and fish reminds us that God cares about our dally ems end that nothing la Impossible to Him It is significant that Jesus fed the crowd with food which one of them supplied He did not bypass the resources of the crowd but He took those recources hopelessly Inadequate as they were and after giving thanks He gave them back to the crowd and all ate and were satisfied Thus Andrew and the other discip les discovered that the Impossible became possible In the power and prayer of Jesus What was given to Jesus was given back by Him trans formed The hungry multitude Is still with us the hunger of many for the basic necessities of life the hunger and thirst for justice the hunger for authentic love the hunger for God In responding to these various hungers the Lord will not bypass our own resources They may not be adequate to meet apartlcularneed but neither are they irrelevant The Lord asks us to give ourselves and our resources generous lo place ourselves what we have and what we are at His disposal Then we need never underestlm ate the Lord can do through us If we place our resources before the Lord He will feed the hunger of his people with them inadequate as those resources may seem to us CHEEKS Frank Miller Timing his resignation shock Ex premier and leader of Her Majesty Royal Opposition Frank Miller could have limed his resignation for shock effect any better His going he focus of political and media attention here at the annual premiers conference only one of which Regina lost year Miller has attended The politicians including Ontario premier David Peterson as is their wont when one of their number has been found lacking In the court of electoral pol tics were generally kind in their comments But at least one Ontario Treasurer Bob the harsh realities of their gome when he was asked whom the Liberals would like to face as PC leader In he next provincial election Reporters were looking for the name of a successor of course but said Frank Miller There could be no sadder testimo ny the rise and all of Frank Miller than such a flippant oneliner Premiers conference Still his resignation at this parti moment is a surprise Over the post month Miller has given every man out to protect his job A series or PC policy conferences are set for the fall where Miller was expected to make a pitch to the Tory rank and file to unite behind him He already travelled the province talking to party executives and his long time supporters looking for backing And he moved Miller loyalists key positions In the party organization So what happened to his mood The Initial theories of his tlon among observers here tended dwell mainly on the tactical aspects of why now What caused the precise liming of his resignation The obvious answer given was that it was an attempt to upstage Peterson during his debut on the wider Canadian scene at this premiers conference One smart alec suggestion Is that he was also exacting a measure of revenge on the Queens Park Press Gallery by calling it when most of them were a long way from Queen Park More pertinent perhaps is hat the quicker Miller goes Ihe faster the party can pick a successor and the more nflucnce Miller can have on who it is Few Tones believe the Peterson government will last the two years the Liberals pledged in the deal with the Hence Millers call for a ber convention But the really relevant question Is why res at all The answer has be he hasnt been finding among the troops out there never mind the general pub the kind of support he was hoping to encounter The Globe and Mall latest CROP poll shows party popularity at its base vole of about per cent But from Miller perspective the more Import ant figure Is the per cent rating for himself as ihe best man to be premier a that sinks 9 per cent in If party polls showed the same thing or worse and Miller hinted a back they did he must have been forced to conclude he couldn lead the PCs from the wilderness That especially true if Miller loyalists have been telling him the same thing privately during his travels and there is some Indication they have To stay meant probably at best leading a disheartened and split party deeper Into opposition Instead w for himself one suspects he chosen logo Region interests represented Queen Park Bureau of The Herald Journalists love drama and conflict It is the stuff of their trade Thus It would be great to write about this conference as the place where the lone Liberal wolf in red tie Ontario David Peterson has been let loose among the Conservative sheep Unfortunately it won work thai way It is true that Peterson is the first Grit premier to show up at one of these things since when Prince Edward Islands Bennett Campbell had the dubious distinction of being the lost Liberal government leader in Canada outside Ottawa But that automatically mean fireworks There are six Progressive Conser premiers four from the provinces plus Alberta and Saskat chewan one semi Tory Sacred British Columbia one New Demo crat Manitoba and one semi NDP Parti Quebec along with Peterson REGIONAL MEN In theory they represent political parties as well as governments In practice Ihey don They are there as representatives of regional Inleresla Thai why Peterson emphasises that he expects trade questions to get really good review Ontario is concerned about freetrade suggest ons Ottawa and some Western provinces it Is the same fear that former Premier Frank Miller expressed when he attended the lost premiers confer ence In As an issue free trade mean open economic borders with US Is to Ihe what the const tution and oil pricing were to the 1970s And it may again pit the centre Ottawa and Ontario against the flanks especially western Canada GOOD ALLIES Who can forget the solid alliance former Prime Minister Pierre and former Ontario Conser vative Premier Bill Davis forged on both the constitution and oil prices And how Tory Davis helped destroy Joe Clark federal Tory government for the benefit of Liberals Regional interests came first There Is a potential In hat for the element of drama sought by the media A couple of weeks ago Peterson muttered darkly about how Brian Mulroney s federal Conservative government had Ihe nerve to sign energy deals with the western provinc and Newfoundland without consult Ontario Of course when Ontario taxes products made here and bought by westerners we don consult them FAIR TRADE Later after meeting Mulroney apparently they are long time establishment cronies he said he thought the prime minister was sensitive to the needs of Ontario as industrial heartland Interestingly Davis used to say same thing about Mulroney too something he didnt say about Clark Still premiers conferences are polite affairs Liberal red will blend easily wilh Tory blue Even regional differences if post times are any indication likelywlllbesmoothedover n pubic Much to the media disappoint ment any
