the HERALD Liberals make Peterson the agenda Home Newspaper of Halton Hills Established 1B66 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Street Georgetown Ontario Publisher and General Manager CAR1 SINKE Manager Phone i iih TIIFHFHA1J Distinct choices The election campaign in Ontano has a little more than a week to go and distinct differences are showing up among local party candidates Walt Elliot Dave Whiting and Fern Wolf have all proven to be committed determined and eloquent speakers But each of the PC and Liberal candidates are providing voters with clear options when they go to the polls Sept 10 Lets first start where the candidates are All are for programs to help clean up our environment and all pledge to do what they can on the local scene about dumps quarry landfills and water All of the party campaigners support our farmers Although party platforms may vary on the type of support that Is required the intent is very simlliar As far as personal styles go each candidate has a dif ferent way of getting their message across Dave Whiting wants to be perceived as a strong voice a man who won t be a puppet stressing his previous political experience on a local level Walt Elliot talks a lot of about being a team player for a party which has a record of achievement and moderation Loyalty party leadership are his watchwords Fern Wolf in many ways mirrors her leader Bob When she speaks she seems genuinely concerned and sincere about social and economic injustic and the need for reform The common folk can be overlooked she Where are the most distinct differences Ask the can didates about auto insurance bihngualism free trade and education Each has a different vision about what is right for Ontanans The candidates are all individuals and deserve to be chosen as much for their own opinions and character strengths as for what their leaders say Scrutinize the candidate well and choose carefully who best represents your feelings and interest What others say Clubs more open Hurray for major breakthroughs The Orangeville Kiwanis Club is leading the way with this weeks unanimous vote to admit women to the club The issue of mens and womens clubs is a long standing one And now the Charter of Rights makes it even more relevant and interesting A discussion with the Orangeville service clubs four years ago saw spokesmen admitting that women hadn t been and likely wouldnt be permitted to join Now some said that with a degree of chagrin others were quite firm Then comes change And it is coming now The clubs are beginning to open up to change their traditional policies No one likes exclusivity and that the way the clubs are We can all appreciate the fellowship and service they represent At the same time it seems a contradiction to talk about service to a community as the focus of a service club and yet prohibit certain members of the community from joining and thus contributing that restriction isn t just based on sex some of clubs restrict membership to certain segments of the population i business people even down to categorizing professions and permitting only one member from each Obviously there s nothing wrong with social clubs that are there for fellowship But when it comes to serving the community surely everyone should be eligible Right or wrong that means in the case of the Kinettt Club that they can t even pass their own budget the Kinsmen do it for them because they re responsible for it It s from years ago a spokesman said Yes indeed Let face it admitting both sexes to a club isn t a traumatic experience it wont render the club useless In stead it should open the door to more people and more ideas and more fellowship That t sound all that bad Optimist president Terry Heavens sums it up nicely As long as they members are willing to work for the com it makes no difference who they are Courtesy Orangeville Banner Election quiz loosened shirt sleeves rolled up I David Peterson look the hand and slowly
