eee Last Thursday night was Do we havea winner? Wintario night in Penetanguishene, and according to the Chamber of Commerce it was a success. Chamber office ad- ministrator Ruth Rose said Monday that both the Wintario drew about Wintario came _ to Penetanguishene last Thursday night, and there were about 700 people there to watch the magic balls roll out of the tumbling machines on- Stage. Fred Davis, smooth and immaculate in a_ beige suit, quipped that he'd heard that Premier Davis had to cancel an engagement in the town _ earlier in the week. "I hope you'll accept another Davis as a substitute,' he said. His co-host, Faye Dance, wearing a long white skirt, matched with striped blouse and navy blazer, stepped into the audience to _ select townsfolk to start the machines. At least two of those participants were previous Wintario win- ners. On stage, each num- bered ball was held aloft in a perfectly manicured hand of a pretty assistant, while Davis carefully repeated the numbers for the TV cameras. Then with an enthusiasm that A sensational Buy! Sale lasts while stock lasts -- no longer! belied the fact that he'd done the show fifty-four times before, he proclaimed the news that someone somewhere had just won $100,000. The applause. signals flickered and the next draw began. The audience was at- tentive, and obedient to those applause signs. There was a fair amount of tension while the numbers were being called out, but the only brow that needed mop- ping was Davis'. It was a cool night, but the television lights were hot. A short film, provided by the Chamber of Commerce, showed glimpses of the town, which Davis charac- terised as "a beautiful industrial and vacation town." When the televisied portion of the show was complete, Davis and Dance were besieged by autograph-seekers and then the audience settled down to enjoy a concert by the Midland and Penetanguishene Concert Band, led by Mr. John Wintario people and the Global Television people were happy with the arrangements, and had advised her the town would have no trouble getting them to come back in another 12 months.

"Stephen didn't respond to that mood."' He said the party would have to re-think its strategy before the next election, and should have told the electorate it would turn Ontario into a social democratic province like Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The problem, he said, was that the party strategists were suffering from a Metro Toronto approach to policy. He said a more aggressive approach would have cost the party votes in Toronto, but would have helped in the rest of the province. Wessenger said he had been surprised by his poor showing in Barrie. "We didn't get our voters out. More Tory sup- porters voted than last time because they were afraid, and less NDP supporters voted."' the leather. own them. With regard to the NDP fall to third place in the legislature," he said it might be a good thing for the party. "It'll get us back to fighting again. I think we were too low key. The NDP is best when it's got its back to the wall." He said he thought the Conservatives would suggest that premier Bill Davis resign as a result of the election, and added that he thought Roy McMurtry would be the odds-on favourite to take over. as leader. With regard to his own party's leadership, he said 'I hope Lewis stays on. He's by far the best leader we could have."
