Bi The En Am May was si in buts use itcoun NEWMARKET An election opponent recently accuwd Bill Hodgson of being too silent in the Legislature And its true admits York Norths member for the past decade candidly I dont make many speeches in the House and then he slipped in slyly I make mine where it counts to caucus and direct to cabinet ministers and the premier As a result he claims I got a lot more for York North riding through my efforts in caucus and through the ministers offices Mr Hodgson an experienced politician when he was first elected to the Legislature he was a reeve of King Township and a warden of York County takes PC is candidate caught by shifting party policy KING CITY It would appear that Conservative policy takes some time to make the rounds Monday morning news

attacks on both the governments employment and language policies Progressive Con servatives have not achieved unity within their own party on the language issues said Mr Scott pointing to Con servative candidates in two Essex riding who will fight their own parly over plans for a French- language school in Windsor The fact that the government cant agree on its language policy undercuts Premier Davis arguments that he is the only leader who can take Ontario into a strong battle for Confederation the candidate said En addition Mr Scott hit at the government over recentlyreleased Statistics Canada unemployment figures More than are unable to find employment Mr Scott said adding that people should not be expected to follow the PCs on the same path that led to high unem ployment From Liberal can didate Jim Wilson came the charge that the June election is both un necessary and expensive in the number of and small problems he has been able to solve for constituents Although he admits he hasnt always been able to solve the problems brought to him he says nobody has been turned- away until a sincere effort has been made on their behalf Although reluctant to discuss the individuals who brought problems to him the candidate has no reluctance about discussing the long list of community projects his work has benefitted his past terms Among them the arena for which he says he obtained a 480000 provincial grant the sizeable Wintario grant he helped engineer for the Newmarket Op timists Hall and the extra grants his lobbying obtained for the Stouff- ville library He pointed out three school building projects looked impossible until he went to work with the minister of education Now the schools have been built in Woodbridge and and an addition at Holy Name

who forced the people of Ontario into an election by voting with the Liberal party on an amendment to the governments rent control legislation Why did his party Mr force the issue Mr Newman asked
