One last look at Simcoe Centre candidates With the call to the polls tomorrow, one last look should be taken at the three candidates vying for votes in the riding of Simcoe Centre. Platforms are very much alike between George Taylor, P.C. incumbent, Bruce Owen Liberal candidate and Gaye Lambe, New Democratic Party hopeful. All are genuinely concerned with issues in our area, all are positive they have many of the answers to problems facing our ailing economy and all would appreciate your vote at the polls. George Taylor George Taylor is the incumbent for Simcoe Centre and did much of his campaigning on his past performance. After having been our representative for the past four years he feels his riding has done better than most when it comes to overall ac- complishments. As for the rural community, Mr. Taylor is concerned with the lack of wellsituated storage facilities and processing plants. He feels they should be more readily available to local farmers. resulting from the issue as another reason for it not going through. Home care _ for Senior Citizens is high on his priority list, as he feels it is both a medically and ,emotionally sound system of providing natural -- surroundings for the patients.

Mrs. Lamb said she would. like to see im- proved: quality of day care available' to working mothers, the hiring and promotion of women in the work- force, and the rec- tification of the problem of women earning an average of 58 percent less than men. Gaye lana A high priority with her though, is doing away with the policy of importing goods and services readily available in this province. Mrs. Lamb is calling for increased development of our own skilled labour through improved _ apprentic- eship programs, in factory training and increased funding to training facilities. She would like to see laws passed that would force supermarkets to buy locally produced goods as opposed to imports, lower interest rates to farmers wishing to expand or improve their productivity, and see more processing plants within reach of local growers. As for widows, she feels a woman should not be penalized by the government by having her pension cut astronomically on the death of her spouse. The decreases she feels make it hard to compete with the rising cost of living.
