Davis talks issues Premier Davis made several statements on crucial issues in the upcoming election, issues that are of both provincial and local concern. The following are just a few: On the Simcoe-Georgian Task Force: "The task force study is government policy and it designates Barrie, Orillia, Collingwood and Midland as_ growth centres. There is no question that this growth will take place."' On the pending closure of Motorola: "The | government wasn't informed until late in the game. Gord Smith has been working on it for some time and we will continue to press for results."' On a $35,000 donation to Marlene Tessier She's got a summer job Marlene Tessier of Penetanguishene is one student who has got the summer unemployment problem beat.

The entire student body piled into the MSS gymnasium Monday morning to hear the provincial leader deliver a brief five- minute speech and then ,ask for student par- ticipation. It all began with one voice amid the sea of students expressing the fear that the Davis government would raise the drinking age. The Progressive Conservative leader, like everyone else in the gymnasium, found it difficult to hold his laughter but after a few joking remarks from a jovial Premier, the tone turned serious. "T wouldn't be telling you the truth if I didn't admit my concern about the rise of alcoholism in our society," Davis began. 'I'm not here to lecture or moralize with you, but many careers 2.

The provincial leader noted, however, that his party was not considering a raising of the drinking age, "at this time."' No sooner had the first inquisitor taken his seat than another student, wearing a Montreal Canadiens sweater, took the floor. He boldly suggested that the PC government had done the least of all provincial governments to en- courage unity in Canada. To support his argument, he cited the Davis government's refusal to give full financial support to separate schools in Ontario. "I assure you," the Premier said, "that the separate schools are getting an equitable share of the tax dollars of this province. He added that his party's refusal to support separate schools all the way to grade 13 is "a matter of policy." "We believe in working together and playing together,'"' Davis said, "and I can't see why we can't be educated together."' When asked what his government will do about inflation the PC leader warned that the NDP's suggestion of removing controls is "dangerous" and will only encourage "more inflation." Davis said that the Ontario government was "par- ticipating in the anti- inflation program" and has "curbed ex- penditures."' On another question he acknowledged the high unemployment rate but announced that 45,000 jobs were being created this summer for student opportunities. He added that tax incentives were one way in which industry could be encouraged to expand, and expansion would mean permanent jobs.
