Help keep the promise of Ontario.
Elect a Davis government
Ontario is rich in promise. We have the
people, the resources, the initiative and •
the vitality to make Ontario the envy of the
world. But promises do not fulfill them-
selves. To build the future' we need 7
strength andleadership.Premier Bill
Davis has demonstrated that leadership.
He has shown that he has the under- '
standing and the vision to identify the
priorities in Ontario's future and to take
the vigorous actiOn'needed to capitalize
on them. •
The Davis Government's new B.I.L.D.
plan is a comprehensive economic
program, designed to stimulate the
economy, create jobs and to realize
Ontario's future potential.
The B.I.L.D, program provides for the
necessary planning and assistance to
create growttt u all the following areas of
activity: energy independence, develop-
ment of resources, including farming and
forestry: industry: human resources with
new emphasis on training for skilled and
professional employment: transportation
and communications: tourism: every
aspect of Ontario's economic life. -And the
B.I.L.D. program is backed by the solid •
performance of the Davis government in
economic activities which have created
new Ontario jobs at the average rate of
100,000 per year for the last five years.
Ontario needs the strength and experi-
ence of Premier Bill Davis as its leader.
On March 19th, you will have your chance
to support the B.I.L.D. program, to keep
the promise of Ontario through your
support of your Davis candidate.
On March 19th, elect your Davis candidate.
