She belis one reason is that at the outset of the campaign the media played a large role in focussing on the image — the 60-second clip —-and not on important issues. As well, she says the “p: ” of the or i could have been better. “Certainly, the other two parties were geared up for the election. That held us back.” But she notes that in the last two weeks and during Monday's door-knocking, she experienced a notable differ. ence in voter's attitude’s towards the Liberals. She says John Turner's appearance on the Jack Webster TV show Monday morning made a difference. “To show how sincere and honest and compassiopate and dedicated Turner is, is really important,” she said. “I am very proud of the man and very proud to be associated with him. My campaign has been based on being part of the Turner team. I think it's (the election) going to be much closer than the polls indicate.” “There's no question in my mind that the support is * great for the Liberals,” she said, adding that the ‘support began to grow when Pierre Trudeau announced his resig- nation. CRUISE MISSILES “My own position, as far as the cruise missile .. . I'm not happy with the decision made (to test it in Canada). I realize obligations are placed upon Canada as a member of ‘NATO, but Canada does have the authority to cancel tests. This should be exercised. . “I am in favor of a verifiable nuclear freeze. That's my own personal view, it is not the official Liberal position. I think there is growing pressure within the party that these initiatives must be carried forth.

There is a feasibility study in the hands of (Nelson) city council. There are two proposals — one for forestry research and the other one as a peace institute. These are only two of many possible uses. WOMEN’S ISSUES “I am very concerned about issues such as pension, child care and economic equality. “Pension rights involve not only the working woman, but the homemaker as well. I think homemaker's pensions of some sort is a possibility and need to be investigated “T have had a lot of enquiries from women with regard to rights of spouses, divorces, marriage breakdowns. Also of concern is the enforcement of maintenance orders. I am in favor of a central registry. INTEREST RATES “Our present policy to follow is to follow what we have been doing under the Bank of Canada levels close to the U.S. level.” to keep interest rate * JEAN TURNBULL .. . Liberal candidate THE DEFICIT “Turner is committed to reducing the deficit. Proposals he has made do not add to the deficit. He feeis it necessary to reduce the deficit without jeopardizing the quality of health care and income security systems. “He plans to achieve this by “Himiting incremental ding — limiting to id depar finding more efficient ways to delivérijig ‘sovial; nervices, avoiding duplications of federal and provingial services and creating a more efficient public administration. The growth and revenue will result as the economy revives and that will help the deficit. “Also being proposed are real income bonds. The Liberals are going to have guaranteed real returns. The interest is equal to the rate of inflation, plus an. additional four per cent. It is going to be used to reduce the govern. ment debt service to pay what we have to on the deficit.” JOBS “Jobs can only be created through stimulating an i i in which indi ard corporate investment can take place.

But Turnbull says: “I think the fact that I am a woman is obviously différent. I think I am a listener by nature. Ican bring a different perspective to problems. I think I am a caring, compassionate person. “To say one party has a monopoly on looking after the ordinary person is just nonsense,” she adds. “My experience and ability has been recognized by the provincial government when I was appointed to the Academic Council. “My judgment and fairness, which I think is very important, js also recognized by my being appointed as one of four public members to the B.C.

Forests belong to the provinces “Since 1980 in B.C. alone federal forestry initiatives have exceeded $130 million. They've emphasized research and development, provided money for pulp and paper research centre in Vancouver. Turnbull, 61, is married and has one son.

Jeai Reid says creative and industrious job seekers should start their search with the vice-president of a company or the head of the department they want to work in, not the personnel office. Personnel departments rarely hire, says Reid, = her and art I who has the best ways to land a job. . Reid, who says she “hit bottom” after her Cambridge, Ont., art gallery went bankrupt four years ago, stressed the creative apprach to job hunting: Know exactly what you want and what you do best. After a ful career producing and hii television and radio programs, Reid's dream is to get a series on “how to get hired” produced for television. She says 80 per cent of all jobs are not advertised and there are 23,000 listings in the Canadian Classifi- cation and Dictionary of Occupations. + The best way to get a job is to apply in person and ask for one. But first, get a notebook and list everything you've ever done in the past. Think it over a few days and record every i job. > p i award you've won or club you've belonged to. 4 “This is the most important part of your job-finding hunt: finding out aboyt the commodity you are pi to offer some fortutiate company — you. “Are you a doer or a done-to? Are you happy in the heart of activities, team sports or clubs, or do you prefer more solitary pursuits such as reading or woodworking? “Do you like chairing meeting or are you a follower? Do you like working in a large office or a small one? Do you prefer set hours or are you flexible? Do you like to have a lot of supervision or very little?” “Reid said 60 per cent of those who find jobs do so by using contacts. Write your own resume; don’t have it done by a pro- fessional resume writing company, said Reid. Type ac curately, using colorful, explicit language. Most libraries have good books you ean use as a guide to writing your own. Before setting up an interview, research companies, you'd like to work for. If you can't find out, write to the president. Most letters to top executives are answered or passed down to the right person. Apply for the highest-level job you can manage.

But current high government deficits mean the public sector is competing with business for loan funds, a situation that will push interest rates up Rena Malkah, president of the Ontario Mortgage Brokers Association, agrees. She said borrowers should err on the conservative side and take out mortgages with fixed rates for as long a term as they can afford. That way, homeowners will be protected if there is another round of interest rate increases. A number of variable-rate mortgages are offered by banks and trust companies, but this is basically how they work: When interest rates decline, a greater proportion of each month's payment is applied against the principal. If interest rates rise, a higher proportion of the payment is requred to pay the interest each month Bs) ! + : FOR THE 1984/85 SCHOOL YEAR Teachers interested in substitu du the 84/85 School Year must contact the boord Ottice before September 10 to have their name either carried forward trom the 83/84 list or fill out an application form and have their name inc for the first time.
