With four candidates
in the field Huron voters
nave a wide choice when
they go to the' polls on
Thursday of pext week.
Each of the candidates
has particular qualificat-
ions that will attract
certain voters and which
at the same time may ois-
courage the support of
others..
In the order in wnich
their names will appear
on the ballot they are
Ed. Bairl, former NDP
member, who as a fitter
In a Goderich manufactur 7
ing plant, will have par-
ticular knowledge of prob-
lems facing labour. He is
running as ah Independent.
Paul Carroll, the NDP
candidate, is a school-'
teacher and is informed
oin the' field of education.
As a member of a municipal
council, he has knowledge
of the'problems facing
towns such as Goderich.
The Liberal candidate
Ken Duncan, is a farmer
in Usborne Township and '
has-shared with other
farmers across Huron rid=
ing the uncertainties and
problems which all farmers
are.facing. As a former
member of a municipal
council, he like Mr.Car-
roll knows the frustrat-
ions of smaller communi-
ties such as those in
Huron as they attempt td
meet increasing threats
of centralization and the
loss of local autonomy.
Charles MacNaughton is
the progressive conserva-
tive candidate supporting
the Davis Government. As
the sitting member he has
brought distinction to
the riding in the succes-
sive cabinet posts he has
held. As a Conservative
'member of the legislature
for nearly .:half the 28
years in which the Tories
have been in office he is
particularly inforwed
Ontaio's deputy minis-
ter. af 'education, E. E.
Stewart, said in a public
speech last week that the
Department of—Education
'has no intention of cut-
ting back on teacher
training facilities, des-
pite the eMbarrasSiho,sur-
plus of teachers which has
already developed and -whicn
will increase to several
thousand next year.
Certainly any hign,sc000l
graduate who is determined
to become a teacher', re-
gardless of the chances tof

concerning government.
But after all it is not
candidates that are. the
issue in this election.
Despite efforts of the
Davis aarty to ignore
issues and -eoncentrate on
the premier himself,issues
are gaining public atten-
tion.
mere is concern at the
efforts of the Davis
government to indicate how
happy life in .Ontario is-
- - showy circuses pro-
duced at toe cost of mil-
libas of tax dollars.There
is concern' about economic
policies,about waste in
government, about the pro-
blems of the farmer, the
smal' ousiness man, about
cent—lization - the Con-
ser\ lve solution to all
problems.'
While the. government 1
gives indication of an
awareness of the'difficUl-
ties after 28 years it
seems incapable of solut-
ions suggesting only stop
gap measures which - as
in tne case:of centralized
assessment - serve only to
compound, and confuse the .
problem.
There are alternatives
There, .is. the program of
the NDP based on .govern-
meot involvement in the
affairs of individuals
and tusihess to„ an evbn
greater degree than we'
nave experienced and close
trade—union association
'Then tnere is 'the
Liberal program'offering
as it dbes a carefully con-
sidered blue print for
government which emphasizes
the role of the individual,
the need for economy In
government, a return of
decision making to the
people.
,A Liberal ,government
under Bob Nixon provides
an opportunity'for a new
and responsible approach
to many of the problems
facing Ontario.
Hnding, employment, should
.have an'opportunity to train
for tnat vocation.'
However, if teacher
training 'is still to be
available to every young,
'person who wants it,guid-s
anee teachers in our high
schools should' be made
fully aware of the employ-
ment situation and be ore-
pared tc advise senior o
students on the percentage
chances of securing,jobs
in that Profession.

To the Editor:
Common Cause
Sir:
with reference to your editorial "A
Blueprint for Government" of August 26,
I am pleased to note your support , of
Robert Nixnies policy statements and
these of his Liberal Party for the up-
coming Provincial Election. •
I would like to point out, however,
one major oversight in your analysis of
a "creditable 'alternative" to the 28 year
old Conservative regime.
That oversight. sir, is the objective-
analysis of the policies of the New Demo-
cratic Party, who, in the eyes of many
astute Observers, have been the "effec-
tive" opposition at Queen's Park during
the term of this government.
It is, refreshing to tote, however, that
at this point in time, one of our conscien-
tious weekly editors has re-affirmed his
partisan stand. At least our cause is
common.: the end of autocracy in Ontario.
, Paul Carroll
Recently I wrote a column on the sub-
ject of what the individual would do if he
or she had one year to live. T asked for
suggestions froth readers and have
received .quite a few.
Perhaps the most interesting ideas
came from a Grade 9.elass. Their teacher
had suggested my topic and asked them to
write an essay on it. The results were
revealing, touching in some cases, rather
horrifying in others. I'll give you a
sampling, reproduced , just as they were.
written, grammar and spelling intact.
In most cases, the boys were brief
and pungent. The girls tended to write
what the teacher might think was worthy,
with a few notable exceptions, They
waxed romantic - and dramatic. The boys
were blunt and honest.
Grace: "About a month before I was
to die I would go to a church every day
talking to God and then later to a priest."
Lynn: •"If I bad one, year to live I
would quit school, leave home and go live
with my brother in Montreal. When I
died well I guess I die:"
Debbie: "I would quit school and ...
go to Las Vegas because mjamother and
father . . . said it is the .best place to
go if you want to, win money. After I go
there I am going to go all over the world.
Then I will go to the hospital and just ,,
wait until I DIE. But I will have a wonder-
ful time before I go., The End." Ob-
viously a hedonist.
Cindy: "The first thing I .would quit

Asa i
school becauSe what's the use of getting
an ,education if you don't have time to
use it." Good thinking, Cindy.
Barb: "I would quit school leave
home and take lots of money. Then I
would travel all over by my thumb, Have
cops afteri'ne and get all kinds of trouble.,"
Susan would smoke in front of her
parents and come and go as she
pleased with no housework or baby-sit-
ting to do "and probably get anything I
wanted, especially from my dad."
Bonnie: "I would like to leave'school,
leave home ' & go with a motor-cycle
gang fora year . . . have cops after
me all the time, and getting in lots of
trouble. And about one month before
,I' was to die I would try to take a trip
6nn speed and see what it really did.
And joist live in freedom."
Toni: ,9 would borrow-ing 5,000 and
make a formula to blow up the world
lust before Iaied I would, bloW up the
world." That'st one way out, Tom,
Jim: '1 would like to' turn 18 and
,, quit school, start drinking, get my dri-
vers license and startworking."There's
a combination.
Tom: I would get leave of school
and bum it all the way. And by a snow-
moble and a bigger boat."
Frank: "I would go to banks and
borrow 20,000 and go have some fun.
First I would go and steal a Car and
smash it up. 1 would buy 'a lot of 'food
and give it to Care. I would go to Toronto
and steal' a bunch of junk and sell it to
somebody. I would burn'down the schools
and factors." There's a nice, whole-
some kid. ' ,
Steve: "First i would quit school,
Then since I'm 18 go' out and get stoned
(bloody maries). After about a week re-covery I'd buy a .303 and shoot Prese-
dent Nixon (good). Then I'll go to the
electric chair and go the fast way."
Jim: "I would want to go all over
the world with My wife also I would'
write a will -leaving everything to my
wife and would donate my eyes to a
blind person." He must have a girl
friend.
Mike; "I would like to 'drink, eat

'I've used only bits, but
there's a pattern. About 80 per cent
would leave school at once. About 50
per cent would leave home. About 90
per cent would travel around the world.
. About 60 'per rent think bank managers
are philanthropists. About 20 per cent
are idealistic, the rest materialistic.
Rather frightening, what?
