ios i { 12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 20, 1968 In Victoria-Hallburton Bruce Glass of Lindsay has an- nounced that he is running for the Victoria-Haliburton nomination in Lindsay on September 26th. Glass was the Liberal standard bearer in the 1984 election. Since then, he has continued to be active with the Liberal Association, hav- ing worked as the campaign manager for John Eakins in the 1985 and 1987 Provincial Election Campaigns. "The most important issue fac- ing voters will be the Free Trade Treaty with the United States. We do not want the deal the Mulroney Government made. We will be trading in our Canadian citizen- ship if that Treaty goes into effect'. "Another critical area of con- cern to all Canadians is the pollu- tion of our environment. No longer can we pretend that there is no problem. All countries of the world are going to have to work together to clean up our planet. We must not leave the job to so- meone else. I am sure that every Canadian wants our children and granchildren to have a future for which to live." "The Liberal campaign wil! be -- NOTICE -- Glass runs for nomination ready to move whenever an elec- tion is called. Preferrably. the sooner the better. It has been four years since the last election. I think people are ready to get out and make their decision about who they want as a government for the next term." Glass has practiced law in Lind- say since 1971. He grew up in Lindsay. While attending univer- sity, Mr. Glass worked as a sum- mer student in the riding moving Letters furniture. Since 1971, the can- didate has been quite involved with community organizations such as the Chamber of Com- merce, the local Law Association, the Curling Club and the Kinsmen Club. In 1981-82, he was the Na- tional President of the Association of Kinsmen Clubs. Victoria-Haliburton riding is now held by Conservative Bill Scott, who has indicated he will be seeking re-election.

The situation's levell- ed out since then but only because of a concentrated effort to attract industry. 852-9711 THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL (Uxbridge) telephone number will be changed 0 -- EFFECTIVE -- SEPT. 30th, 1988 * of: "ag, Pickering Yes, it's nice that many people will call Scugog home. It would be even nicer to have many in- dustries and businesses call Scugog home, for it's only by en- couraging industrial-commercial development that Scugog council will be able to hold the line on residential taxes. That's no secret but it didn't come out in either the Page 2 story or in Peter's column. "'Controlled"' development is desirable, no question. But a decrease in the value of" industrial-commercial building permits is cause for great con- cern. Unless, of course, Scugog residents are prepared to pay heavily for the privilege of living in a residential community that doesn't worry about attracting industry. Without new industry, that's ex- actly what will happen in Scugog. Watch your tax bills two or three years from now. Residents will pay but that's okay because, after all, nobody wants to see Port Perry become another Pickering, with its major shopping centre, top-of-the line recreation complex that's the en- vy of municipalities across On- tario, excellent waterfront facilities at Frenchman's Bay and, of course, one of the best community newspapers (along with the Port Perry Star) in the country.
