Peterson comes totown wins few converts but delights his audience at Rotary Club There's little doubt Ontario's top Grit who spoke to members of Midland Rotary Club at the club's Wednesday noon luncheon won any converts, however David Peterson seemed to be on the same wave length of many when he described the ills facing both Ontario in_par- ticular and Canada in general. The Ontario Liberal Party leader couldn't resist taking a few swipes at the incumbent Tory government in power at Queen's Park nor was he afraid to zero in on Premier William Davis' lack of ac- complishments when it came to coming to grips with recession-riddled Ontario of today. The provincial Liberal leader cir- culated an eight-page "notes for an address" to the media prior to speaking to _ local Rotarians. However he often deviated from the text of his prepared speech to present an off-the- cuff, informal (in- formative) presentation which for the most part was very well received by his listeners. Peterson told of the opportunity he had prior to the meeting to walk through downtown Midland with local lawyer and Rotarian Rod Ferguson "an old classmate of mine." He singled out the Edwards family for developing Midland's first indoor mall while at the same time ex- pressed his concern regarding RCA's _in- tention here to close its doors for good at the end of the year. Following his ad- dress, the guest speaker fielded a series of questions from the floor. "'We all know what the current economic recession is doing to the private sector's profits and to the employment scene," Peterson said as he launched into his address. "There are no simple nor fool proof answers to the problems of high unemployment,'"' he said. Peterson was quick to point the finer of blame to A) high inflation, B) high interest rates C) high energy costs and low productivity. "Never before has Ontario been in such dire need of strong leadership," Peterson observed, not con- cealing the fact that he felt Premier Davis and his provincial govern- mént didn't have a handle on the situation and thus were unable to put "'us back on the road to recovery." He said he didn't know what Davis' position would be at this week's Premiers Conference. "We hear Davis Can do it. Let's keep the promise," whatever the hell that means. As for wage and price controls Peterson said "they should be across the board. 'Equity demands that wage controls be im- plemented across all sectors. "It's imperative that the Premier vigorously promote this six and five percent program." "Similarly, we cannot permit a Reaganomic approach to our social services. A government which has squandered vast sums of money on such wasteful ex- penditures as Suncor, an executive jet, the landbanks and Ontario Hydro excesses cannot be allowed to practice its restraint on the backs of the poor and the disadvantaged of our society. "Those who are on fixed incomes cannot afford inore sacrifices; their purchasing power must be maintained." ( 3 CHEERS FOR Let's Facelt BACK TO «.
