S., Oshawa 434-3939 | Liberal candidate wants party to unite for election By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star A Durham Liberal candidate is calling on party members to unite to end internal strife. Glenn Malcolm, who is seek- ing nomination in the Durham Liberal party, issued the plea last week in the wake of a recent riding executive meeting which erupted into a three-hour civil war. It was during the meeting that a pro-life faction gained control of the executive for the second year in a row. Mr. Malcolm urged the party members to put aside their mo- ral differences and concentrate on the impending election. "If the party members set their personal differences aside, we are in an ideal position to work together for Canada to dis- lodge the Tories and form the next federal government," he said. Mr. Malcolm told the Port Perry Star with the upcoming election later this year infight- ing was "the worst thing that could happen to the party." He said the real party issue is "how are we going to win the election." He stressed it was necessary for the party to work together to be "an effective chal- lenge." "All members of political par- ties have differences of opinion, but because the Liberal party encourages individual mem- bers to speak out and be heard, it presents added challenges to maintaining a team focus and effort," he said. He urged the party members to address this issue in the open to end the animosity. "It's time we talked about itin the party membership and clear the air," he said. "Unity can occur in the party if we have a clearing of the air and work as Liberals." Despite the focus on the issue, Mr. Malcolm accepted the de- bate as part of the Liberal's democratic process. "All members of political par- ties have differences of opinion; but because the Liberal party encourages individual mem- bers to speak out and be heard, it presents added challenges to maintaining a team focus and effort." Despite the publicity over this issue, newly electe riding president Dr. John Wilson says he "takes exception" to the exec- ~ utive's pro-life label. He says they are all family people inter- ested in many things including the economy. But he did admit { there were members interested in otesting the unborn." _ Dr.. Wilson denied reports that the issue was hurting the local party. "It's not dividing the arty, it's dividing the country. It will - always divide the country," he told the Star. "I think many poli- ticians wish this issue never came to light." The party is gearing up for a nomination meeting in Port Perry tentatively scheduled for April 26. Five candidates have officially declared an interest to 'date, but Dr. Wilson indicated that more may declare. Ministers stop in town during tour of region By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star "It's important to become in- volved in the country. " That was the message two Progressive Conservative cabi- net ministers brought to Port Perry last week. Pauline Browes, Minister of State for Employment and Im- migration, and Paul Dick, Min- ister of Supply and Service, were in Port Perry on March 2 for a luncheon meeting made up of mostly party faithful. Speaking on the upcoming election and the leadership race, Mrs. Browes told the 30- person audience that it was im- portant to become involved in the process. "It's important in the deno- cratic process that we state our views and we vote," she said. Gentle Dental Care for the whole family DR. A. CHIA DR. J. COTTRELL DR. M. GARFAT DR. J.

Mrs. Browes said one of the greatest treasures a Canadian possesses is the freedom of ex- pression. She encouraged every- one to take advantage of this right, but stressed the nation must be put first. "Freedom of expression is. treasured," she said. "We can disagree but at the end of the day we must put Canada first." Mrs. Browes stressed the need for the Canadians to work together in order to make it a better nation. But despite the work of many 4 to build up the status of the na- tion, she says there are still some benton tearingit down. Turn to page 5 PORT PERRY 985-8451 Evening & Saturday appointments available
