In spite of this add- ed work load, he has not neglected his duties on behalf of the people in his own Riding.

As a local resident, he seeks the support of his Durham North neighbours to con- tinue to represent them on the government side at Queen's Park.

M s t A FEW WORDS ABOUT REGIONAL GOVERNMENT FROM BILL NEWMAN Because Regional Government is fairly new in our area, there is a common tendency to blame it for all sorts of problems — like higher taxes. This is very unfair. Do you know that out of every dollar of your mu- nicipal tax bill in Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge, only 15 cents goes to Region? The other 85 cents goes for other non -Region purposes like education and for your local municipal government. In York Region the Region's share is even less — only 13 cents of the tax dollar goes to pay Regional costs. If only this minor share of each tax dollar goes to Regional government, then it is only common sense that Region deserves only a very small share of the responsibility for tax increases. As a matter of fact, only four years ago under the old County government, the average amount of tax money taken by the Ontario County government was about 20 cents out of each tax dollar. In this sense, Regional government has, in fact, improved the taxpayers position. The real culprit, of course, is inflation. Whether there had been regional government or not, the costs of government have gone up like everything else. The reason that tax bills are higher is not to be blamed on Regional government but rather on the higher costs of all the services we get, whether they be schools, or local municipal costs, or whatever. I will admit that our Regional government isn't per- fect. But keep in mind that it is still very new. I believe that it promises us great improvement if we give it a fair chance to develop and operate as it is capable of doing. In time we will be as pleased with it as are the other areas where the growing pains have been resolved and it is functioning with a high degree of efficiency.

ONTARIO TOWNSHIP OF BROCK TOWNSHIP OF 1( / SCUGOG . a time to be strong There are a o o-# reasonsvvhy-thy--people of- ntario have such confidence and pride in their province. One of the reasons has to be that Ontario is well governed. The government of Ontario is the most progressive and forward looking in Canada. It relates to people, to their needs and concerns, and it gets things done. On- tario's standards in health care, social security, and in education are unexcelled anywhere in the world. This government relates to people because it be- lieves in people —believes in what they can achieve for themselves, for their families, and for their province in a free, competitive economic system. The Davis govern- ment has reduced taxes and is doing more to build houses and help people move into them than any gov- ernment in Canada. It's a government that stands up for the interests of the people of Ontario, and this is a time when Ontario needs to be strong! Good government deserves your support on Sep- tember 18th.
