By THE CANADIAN PRESS The importance of Canadian unity as an issue in the Oct. 17 Ontario provincial election seemed to depend on which of the three party leaders one lis- tened to most closely Monday. In defence of his Confedera- tion of Tomorrow conference called for next month, Premier John Robarts said twice in Ottawa that unity is of para- mount importance. But Liberal leader Robert Nixon and Donald MacDonald of the New Democratic Party took exception to the Progres- sive Conservative leaders con- tention, Mr. MacDonald told a gather- ing in Burlington, Ont., that since all parties felt basically the same on unity the Tories were simply trying to distract the voters from the real issues of the campaign. LA vst rn Mr. Nixon, at Smith's Falls and again in Ottawa, said Mr. Robarts' call for a clear and decisive mandate from the vot- ers Oct. 17 on the issue is deceptive. He said there was no question that all parties were in accord on the importance of Confeder- ation and suggested it was presumptive of the premier to assume that only the Conserva- tives can speak for unity. SEES CONFUSION He said the voters were con- fused by the Conservative two - nation concept and the NDP supporting an as yet undefined special status for Quebec. Mr. MacDonald spent the day in the Hamilton area and missed one of the more inter- esting byplays of what has been an essentially uninspiring cam- paign so far when Mr. Robarts nuit nse AT and Mr. Nixon almost faced one another in television debate. Mr. Nixon and Mr. Mac- Donald have been trying from the outset of the campaign to lure the premier into a televi- sion confrontation but so far their efforts have gone unre- warded. Mr. Nixon, at a morning coffee party in Cornwall, was advised that the premier was going to appear on an Ottawa television station in the after- noon and that, although plans were not confirmed, the possi- bility of a debate existed. Clutching at even this slender straw, he cancelled further commitments in the Cornwall area and arrived at the televi- sion studio ahead of the pre- mier only to find that when Mr. Robarts arrived he rejected completely sharing the camera with any but the assigned inter- viewers, TWO TAKE TURNS Mr. Robarts took the first segment of the program -- Face the Nation -- with Mr. Nixon going on the second 10 minutes. Mr. Robarts spent most of his time defending his decision to press forward with the Confed- eration conference despite a cool reception from federal offi- cials. Mr.. Nixon followed by saying that if a Liberal govern- ment were elected it also would follow through with the confer- ence, but in a different way. Mr. Robarts conceded that the conference probably would not reach any conclusive deci- sions, but Mr. Nixon said a Lib- eral - sponsored gathering would limit itself to only those matters of provincial responsi- TL m nen VOLENDAM AVENUE yoga em Homes Mills, ground. gutter and asphalt paving Volendam Avenue. structed on the south side of the} thoroughfare, jof the avenue was developed.

Mackey suggested it was special side of the! bility within Confederation and bypass matters of federal juris- diction. He said that since the federal government hadn't been proper- ly consulted by the Robarts regime prior to calling the con- ference, it should be confined to areas of provincial responsibil- ity. On taxation, Mr. Robarts said property taxation was as high as it should go, possibly higher in. some areas, but that he could foresee no tax reductions in the province. Mr. Nixon reiterated earlier suggestions that 80 per cent of education shorfd be paid by the provincial government and thus lift this burden from the area of property taxation. BOOST FOR INDUSTRY Mr. Robarts later spoke to 800 persons in an Ottawa high school at which time he again outlined the industry incentive program he unveiled in Fort William Sept. 19. Mr. Nixon spent what was left of his day with party officials before head- ing back to Toronto. Mr. MacDonald, meanwhile, was handshaking his way from Oakville to Acton, Milton, Campbellville, Burlington and back to Oakville. At lunch he discussed the housing crisis in Ontario and high taxes with 45 persons in the United Auto Workers Hall in Oakville to only small enthu- siasm before meeting with about 75 persons in a Burling- ton high school auditorium in which there was seating for 350. In Burlington, Mr. Mace Donald told another cool audi- ence that his party believes there is need for broadening of the Consumer Protective ne nye rmge e 1 ma en Bureau, established in 1966 by the Robarts government, to give it some power. He said the bureau, under an NDP government, would have a special section to hear hardship cases of consumers, either in person or by special free, prov- ince - wide telephone facilities. While the bureau still would have no legal recourse, he said, it would hold open hearings on all cases brought to its atten- tion and publicize its findings, thereby curbing possible future abuses. At dissolution, the Conserva- tives held 75 of the seats, the Liberals 20, the NDP eight and there were five vacancies. Mr. MacDonald today is in the St. Catharines-Niagara Falls area while Mr, Robarts is in the Hawkesbury - Cornwall region and Mr. Nixon is cam- paigning around Toronto. |Head Injuries | 32 Fewer City Smokers com- driven by Victoria For City Youth An Oshawa youth remains in| The youth was taken to Osh-|tist Gary Wood, 17, of 108 Lara-|last week.

The amended bylaw would, however, except those 10-acre lots which are already registered. } At the same time couacil referred the question of the ap- pointment of a planning direc- tor for the new Town of Whitby to the joint amalgamation com- mittee for study.
