financial [73 UE BTR TEIRENGN 1, TH SATS I IS SILAS STV IRE Tory candidates speak at Cartwright meeting Cartwright - Tories got a sneak preview of the kind of message the three declared candidates for Bill Newman's job will be taking to the Durham-York nomin- ation meeting February 11 at Uxbridge High School. Yvonne Christie and Reg Rose from Scugog, and Ross Stevenson from Georgina Township are in a battle to carry the Tory banner in the next provincial election. Hungry for delegate support, they accepted an invitation to speak last Thursday night at a meeting in Nestleton at which the 28 voting delegates from Cart- wright were named. The nomination meeting in Uxbridge had been slated for February 25, but with the election expected to be call- ed for March 19, the riding association decided last Thursday to move the date of the meeting ahead two - weeks to February 11. There were about 60 party faithfuls at the meeting in Nestleton last week. For the most part the speeches of the three candidates were low _key as they outlined. their personal background, their past work with the Conserva- tive party and experience in public life. Mrs. Christie, who served eight years as a trustee on the Durham Board of Education, including four as chairman, noted that she had taught high school in Black- stock for several years. Stating that she is "To the right of centre" within the P.C. party, Mrs. Christie said she doesn't agree with everything the Party has done. "Mr. Davis is a superb leader," she said. "But, I don't agree with his position on the Bill of Rights in the Constitution." Referring to the BILD program announed last week she called parts of it "delightful", but she could not agree with government support for Chrysler. "We have the right to succeed in this country, and we should also have the right to fail," she stated. Mrs. Christie has been active in Conservative Party work since coming to the Port Perry area in 1956. She has worked on several _ campaigns in provincial and federal elections, and is a graduate in history from -Deer; dogs don't mix Dogs found chasing deer may be destroyed by a Con- servation Officer and the dog owner can be charged under The Game and Fish Act. The deep snow has concen- trated deer in the bush and made them more vulnerable to attack by roaming dogs. Late March and early April are especially critical times for deer because the does are heavy with fawn. Even if a doe is not killed by the dog, the chase may result in the doe loosing its fawn. Offending animals are often family pets and not wild dogs. Therefore, your co-operation is required to ensure that the family pet is not on the loose in areas inhabited by deer. Queen's Kingston. Ross Stevenson, 38, oper- ates a large farm in the southern corner of Georgina Township, near Udora. He told the audience that if he gets the nomination and is elected to Queen's Park, he would be a full time member and would hire extra help to run his farm. A former professor in agri- culture at the University of Guelph who holds a doctor- ate in agriculture, Mr. Stevenson said his concerns are "responsible govern- ment spending and money management." Calling small business essential to rural areas, he said they should be promoted University in without government harr- assment. He called the agriculture and food industry the biggest in the province, generating more revenue than the auto and steel industry combined. But, he said markets for Ontario farmers must be improved because a lot of food that could be grown in Ontario is imported. -__Mr. Stevenson has not held any elected public office, but he is a regional director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and a member of the OFA energy committee. Reg Rose told the audience he has been minister of the Anglican Churches in Port Perry and Blackstock for the past 15 years, and for five years before that was minis- ter in Manvers Township, just east of Scugog. He has worked for the P.C. Party during the past 20 years, and is now president of the federal Durham- Northumberland riding association. Mr. Rose has been a Durham Region councillor from Scugog for the past eight years, and served as chairman of the planning committee and social services committee. He did not seek re-election last November. He told the audience that if he gets the nomination and is elected he "is prepared to listen and take the concerns of people to the govern- ment." | He said most of the prob- lems of today are economic in nature, and the govern- ment must continue its industrial strategy not only to provide new jobs, but to generate industrial growth "to take the tax burden off the farm and home owners." _.If this does.not happen, he-- said municipalities will not have enough money to provide services that people need and want. Referring to the debate over the constitution, he said Canada needs a written constitution, but the formula for amendment must be workable and able to be changed by Canadians. Mr. Rose said that if nominated, he would take leave of absence from his church duties during the election campaign, and would resign from the Church if elected to the legislature to devote full time to politics. The battle between Mrs. Christie, Mr. Rose, and Mr. Stevenson for the Conserva- tive nomination is shaping up as one of the more inter- esting political confrontat- ions in this area in a long SO A AA a 0 ENE time. All three are considered credible candidates, and the nomination meeting Febru- ary 11 will probably have more drama than the elect- ion itself some time in March. After selecting the 28 voting delegates from Cart- wright last week, the Assoc- jation elected its new execu- tive officers. Brian Hamil- ton was returned for another term as president. Merrill Van Camp is first vice- president, Jean Ferguson is secretary and Edyth McLaughlin is treasurer. y. fel" JA > A PEE ' BAA TM N'Y VAY ai . ) oS . a8 USES 31 3, NaS TY YEA SH.
