Mr. Munro made the comment July 31 when he and NDP federal executive member Jim Gill of Toronto officially opened the party's campaign headquarters for Perth. The headquarters are at .10 Rebecca Avenue in the Stratford and District Labor Council building in Stratford. The Perth Liberal's headquarters arc directly behind the NDP and both share a common driveway. Mr. Gill, who is also active in the United Auto Workers 11.' AW) union, said the NDP is continually picking up more support across Canada. "Follow the headlines They tell quite a story." said Mr Gill, holding a Toronto newspaper clipping which declared NDP leader Fd Broadbent the winner of the televised debates. • The Toronto NDPer lashed nut at both the Tories and Grits stating the leaders of those two parties are being forced to discuss issues in this campaign by Mr. Broadbent. "Mr. Broadbent is making sure they address the issues whether they are on the economy or women's issues," he said. adding that the NDP has always campaigned on these issues Mr. Gill encouraged the NDP campaign workers to make "an all out effort" in this election. He suggested they not give up when they find people away on holidays. but keep going back. STAFFA Correspondent MRS.

Perth business people hear ter speak He quoted tourism figures and said he was able to double the advertising budget of Tourism Canada this year. The northern section of the United States is the advertising target area mostly affected by this budget increase. The idea is to bring more American tourists into Canada. He said Stratford benefits from this advertising campaign. An operator of a bed and breakfast home in Stratford agreed, saying some of her guests have commented on the advertisements favourably. While Canada will continue to promote the outdoors aspect of the country - lakes and woods - there will also bea continued effort to promote the "cosmopolitan" aspects of the country, he said. When questioged on the handing out of business loans, he said on sheer volume alone, more small businesses benefitted from these loans. Last year, 26,000 businesses benefitted. However, Mr. Smith said it becomes a "judgement call" when a decision on a loan has to be made, particularly if a business has been well established and another business is brand-new and both are seeking loan dollars. He said a possible program for assistance to the unemployed is expected to be announced Thursday. Mr. Munro said he didn't think he would like going door to door in the campaign. but he has found the public of Perth to be very receptive to him and his party. "Perth County can be won over," said Mr. Munro, a teacher at Stratford's Northwestern Secondary School. At a press conference following the official opening. Mr. GiII, Mr. Munro and Perth NDP president Jack Verhulst expressed confi- dence in faring well in the Sept. 4 election. Mr. Verhulst explained that in the 1980 election. the NDP received 25 per cent of the Stratford vote. but only 14.6 perr cent in the county. Those results, said the president. came about with little campaign organiza- tion. He feels the NDP now has that organization. Mr. Munro reiterated many of the statements he made at his nomination meeting July 23 such as calling for the elimination of "tat loopholes" used by the Healthy and an emphasis on women's rights The teacher admitted he has taken advantage of these loopholes himself and has helped teachers across the province to alsn benefit from these loopholes. However, he said the government is cutting itself out of money by taxhreaks which increases the federal deficit. Mr. Munro expects to spend the rest of Mr election campaign knocking on doors. He said election day falls on the same day as the first day- of school. He will be at school that day encouraging students and his fellow teachers to get out and vote. Disabled adults need equal access to assistive devices "Physically disabled adults should have equal access to essential assistive devices." says Wade Hampton. president of the Ontario March of Dimes. "We are very concerned that the government is stalling on the decision to extend the Ministry of Health's Assistive Devices Program to adults over the age of 19 years." On January 7, 1982. Health Minister. Dennis Timbretl. announced the government would fund 75 per cent of the cost of assistive devices required by physically disabled children under 19 years of age. At the same time. he made a commitment to review when and how the program should he broadened to include disabled adults. Assistive devices provided in the present pmgrarit include such items as manual and motorized wheelchairs, artificial limbs, braces, ostomy and genito-urinary supplies and respiratory equipment. Small business operators, the "life blood of the Canadian economy", should be able to fill out less forms, says the current federal minister with the small business portfolio. "It's driving small business operators crazy filling, out forms," said David Smith, minister of state for small business and tourism. He told about 20 Perth ,County business people at a meeting in Stratford on July 31 that he turns away ideas that will only mean more paperwork for small business oper- ators. Mr. Smith' said he came to Stratford because Brian Innes, the Perth Liberal candidate asked him to. Mr. Innes was at the meeting. Mr. Smith said he has an election campaign of his own to wage in Don Valley East, but took the time to state what the federal government has done recently for small businesses. "In the last budget, there were breaks or incentives directed to the small business sector," he said. The government recognizes that because of its deficit position, it hasn't been creating new jobs directly, "That has fallen to small business and small businesses have responded very well," he said. The budget unveiled by the government recently outlined several measures to improve the lives of physically disabled people in the areas of housing, attendant care and employment. "These are all very positive steps to promote integration," said Mr. Hampton. "We commend the government for their actions " However, the basic essential needs assistive devices - have been ignored. Disabled men and women cannot begin to (unction without them and, therefore, take advantage of these new opportunities. Assistive devices for adults remain the top priority. The Ontario March of Dimes will continue to urge MPP's to press government to extend the assistive devices program. Support. so far, has been received in constituencies throughout the province.
