Some Tory contenders to take Burlington stage Several hopefuls in the race for the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservative Party will speak in Burlington next week. Montreal lawyer Michael Fortier, Saskatchewan farmer David Orchard and former Manitoba cabinet minister Brian Pallister will ail be at Mainway Arena in Burlington on Wednesday, Aug. 26 from 4-6 p.m. Front running candidates Hugh Segal, a former PC political strategist, and former prime minister Joe Clark are unable to attend. Mainway Arena is located east of Walker's Line on Mainway Road between Upper Middle Road and the QEW. The leadership vote will begin October 24. There will be no leadership convention as ballots will be cast by party members in each of Canada's 301 ridings. If no candidate gets more than 50 pet cent of the ballots then a second vote will be held on November 14. In order to be eligible party members must have a current membership by September 25. According to Brian Penman, the Progressive Conservative riding association president for Halton, the leadership race will help rebuild the party finan- cially and focus attention on it in the run up to the next federal election. Membership contacts are Mr. Penman in Milton (878-9529), Murray Brown in Halton Hills (853- 0695), Doreen Shaw in Burlington (336-4033) and Doug Varty in Oakville (338-7176).

Worried about his business • from CAGED on page 14 nearby highway connections, proximity of heavy industry and Greater Toronto population centers. The concept requires enough space to quickly move as many as 60 tractor trailers. Billing and reservations are done by computer and, because the trailers travel with their cabs, no terminal building is required. Currently the service is operating two train runs per day between Toronto and Montreal. The concept will be expanded to include Detroit. The Toronto rail yard is seen as difficult to access and not large enough for the proposed expansion. CP Rail official Alan Parry said if the Milton pro- posal falls through the company will have to consider other options. Scott Bowers, representing consultant McCormick Rankin, said an overpass to accommodate the Wood family is too expensive. However Mr. Parry said given the potential cost of compensation to the Woods, perhaps the overpass idea should be re-evaluated. CP Rail has agreed to put in fire detection services on the Wood property to minimize any increase in emergency response times due to the new proposed road reconfiguration. The company also said it would pay for new signs and kennel customer notification if ie access road is utilized. Mr. Wood said the CP Rail alternative "is the absolutely cheapest way" to accomplish their plans. He claimed ie CP report was largely a smokescreen to make it look as if every altemative had been consid- ered. Mr. Wood pointed out that he must fight for his business before anything is done because once it is, he and his family will have to live with any new condi- tions imposed. The issue is still under negotiation. Town council asked staff to monitor the proposal as it moves through the process. Calendarfeatures admired Arrow • from CANADIAN on page 1 something that's to be kept," said the retired Hemlock Drive man. "If you want a calendar with space to write on, go buy one for $2." The calendar is sold at Chapters and Coles book stores as well as at aviation museums across the coun- try for $16.95, with proceeds going to the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Canada. It's also available in Milton through the local 820 air cadet squadron, who are buying calendars to sell as a fundraiser, Mr. Etheridge said. He said he hopes the calendar will fire the imagina- tion of a new generation of "aviation nuts" like him- self. "I'm particularly interested in seeing young peo- ple like the air cadets using these calendars to raise money. Part of the reason I do this is because of young people." Avro Canada's production of the Arrow airplane was quashed 40 years ago as of early next year after funding was cut by the John Diefenbaker govemment in 1959. Building halted on February 20, which is known by admirers of the project and noted in the calendar as Black Friday. Five of the planes were flown and a sixth was in the testing stage when the Arrow was cancelled, Mr. Etheridge said. The calendars can be purchased through the air cadets by contacting Kathryn Wurster at 878-6510.
