Liberal candidate gets boost

TERRACE — Doreen
Lawson, executive direc-
tor of the B.C. Liberal
Party, toured the Skeena
riding recently in support
of candidate and Terrace
resident Bill Hayes. Dur-
ing her stop in Terrace
Lawson discussed several
aspects of Liberal policy,
including tax relief for
small businesses and an
assistance program for
entrepreneurs.
Lawson, in contrast to
other party leaders, is
travelling through the
region by automobile,

and she said the trip, in

addition to other
journeys in previous
years, has reminded her
of the size of this area
and the transportation
problems and icgistics of
living here. The Terrace
stop comes after visits to
Williams Lake, Prince
George, Fort St. John
and other northern
centers.

Hayes is conducting a
low-key campaign com-
pared to other can-
didates in the riding, and
he said he is relying
primarily on personal
contact rather than cost-
ly media advertising. He
and Lawson have been
through much of the
riding, knocking on
doors and talking to
voters in an effort to get
the Liberal message
across before Oct. 22.

Lawson said that on a
provincial basis support
for the Liberals is higher
than expected, and she
cited a BCTV poll taken
two weeks after the elec-
tion call indicating that
Liberal support had gone
from six to 12 percent of
decided voters in that
period. With regard to
the election outcome,
Lawson believes it will
depend on public faith in
Bill Vander Zalm. ‘Will
voters take Bill Vander

Zalm at face value? The ©

only commitment ex-
pressed by the Socreds is

missions, voters would

Letter

To the editor

It is astonishing that
the Terrace School
Board has elected to pay
$87,000 or almost one-
tenth of a million dollars
to the former secretary-
treasurer of School
District # 88, Terrace, to
not perform the job he
was hired to do.

How many times have
other individuals wished

no value. The Liberals
have a major position
paper on all the issues,
and the Socreds have no
visible policies.”

Bill Hayes said the
concentration of Liberal
policy will be toward
education and job crea-
tion; preventive health
will receive a_ higher
priority, and welfare
rates will be increased by
20 percent to allow a bet-
ter standard of living for
underprivileged British
Columbians. The entre-
preneur program will in-
volve the issuing of
government bonds to
create a development
fund; money from the
fund would be used to
provide loans at market
rates for new ventures

someone would give
them that kind of money
because of the apparent
inability to perform 4
job to the satisfaction of
their superiors?

It is time for us to elect
school trustees that will
spend such money on
our children’s education
instead.
