Mills juniors at Prospect Pork last Wednesday chants won he con If si INDUSTRIAL SOFTBALL looked simply because the public didnt send in any nominations for them said In an interview he will be taking the entire issue to general committee of council and urging changes He explained the whole problem in the existing system is lack of com munication The town expects the public to nominate award recip ients but many arent nominated who deserve recognition We may investigate doing our awards In conjunction with a public group which is Involved in giving awards He suggested the Hockey Heritage Council or the Hills Athlete of the Year program might be good groups lo hook up with They people In the sports community are closer to it the people who should be honored and the sports scene than the politicians he declared said he could see no reason why town awards couldnt be presented the same evening as the Hallon Hills Athlete of the Year or Hockey Heri to go awards are presented Pomeroy admitted he was so many people were overlooked He realized a few people deserving of awards didnt receive them but never expected the list of athletes or teams over looked to be over 10 also said he felt badly there was nobody from Acton receiving awards Im sure here should have been some from Acton but thats the problem I just dont know If a public group in the business of giving awards Isnt involved has a few other ideas of how the award recipients should be chosen it would seem to be an easier task to simply have someone in the recreation department just watch the local papers each week and keep a list of people who do something warranting town recognition he said also said the idea of a selection committee made up of municipal officials and the public will be examined His concern Id coming up with any solution to the problem Is to ensure that in the future nobody Is overlooked Pomeroy DEAR WEIGHT WATCHERS Midnight Snacker thinks shes beyond our help Stoney Broke wonders if

Britain bast sown can help you most TED TYLER TRAVFL SERVICEACTON Acton Only Airwayi Appointed Agant TRUDEAU WANTS US TO BUY FOREIGN OIL Canada has more oil than Saudi Arabia We have enough to meet our needs for at least the next years But by the year 1990 Trudeau wants us to import more than a third of the oil we use This means we would be paying more than 8 billion a year to foreign suppliers This Trudeau policy makes Canadas outlook very chilly We would end up with fuel rationing cold homes and very high pnees THE ANSWER MAKE CANADIAN ENERGY AVAILABLE AND ATTRACTIVE The Progressive Conservative party believes the key to energy self- sufficiency is reward not punishment Where the liberals would punish Canadians with high prices we believe Canada can become self- sufficient in energy by 1990 if the prospect is made worthwhile A FIVEPOINT PLAN FOR SELFSUFFICIENCY Joe Clark has set forth a fivepoint plan which would make Canada self- sufficient by the year1990 It would save us that 8 billion a year the Liberals want to spend overseas that year Here are the points of the plan 1 Conservation A Progressive Conservative govern ment would reduce the grorth of energy consumption to an average 2 per year by giving attractive concessions for efficiency measures This reduction in energy growth would mean a savings of 450 for every man woman and child in Canada by 1990 The conservation measures would include Changes to the Home Insulation Plan to make it work incentives for industry to use energyefficient equipment AN ENERGY POLICY FOR CANADA tax incentives to make energy- efficient vehicles more attractive 2 Oil Supply Development APC government will work with the provinces involved to increase oil sands and heavy oil production so that by the early 1990s synthetic oil will be supplying Canadians with over half of our requirements That will make it possible to meet al of our needs from Canadian sources 3 Taking advantage of what weve got Canada also has ample supplies of natural gas Well set the pnee of gas at a level which will make it attractive for Canadians to substitute gas for oil where they can do so 4 Joining West to East The logical next step is to ensure that Canadian energy supplies can get to Eastern Canada government will make sure that the eastern provinces are connected to Canadian gas oil and electncity systems 5 Energy supplies from nature A PC government will make it attrac tive for Canadians to develop and use energy from the sun the wind the tides and other renewable natural sources Well provide the tax incen tives necessary to get this effort underway DONT BE FROZEN OUT ELECT THE RIGHT GOVERNMENT Liberal energy policy is thoughtless expensive and unfair It is another example of the way the government of Canada has been mismanaged the needs of Canadians disregarded Put an end to the situation Put an end to the government On May 22nd the Progressive Conservative candidate in your riding
