JOHN GLIDDONI'M STILL UNDECIDED
Shirley Keller
• Jwouldn’t want this to get
around, but I still haven’t made
up my mind how I will vote
next week- Half the pleasure
of an electipp fpr me is. hear
ing all the issues and deciding
in a. democratic fashion whom
I will support at the polls, This
is the first time since I was old
enough 'to cast my ballot that
I have been undecided—and I
will very likely remain this way
until I actually step into the
lonesome little voters’ box to
mark my X.
, - J wouldn’t be surprised if
there were more voters around
who feel exactly the same way.
Here it is the eve of election
day, and ‘all the politicians I
have heard so far, regardless
of party affiliation, have said
the same things — cut taxes,
lower living costs, raise income
and>end air pollution.
What really puzzles me is
how any of them hope to get
a clear-cut mandate on October
17 with the kind of wishy-washy
“say-what-they-like-to-hear” tac
tics they employ,
Take the Conservatives, for
instance, This group of chest
beating individuals has been in
power at Toronto since I was a
little girl, They tell me (not
ip so many words, mind you)
that I’ve never had it so good,
That could be because I’ve
never had anything else, I think,
but 'try to tell that to others
who vote party, do or die.
I used to look to the Liberals
for some deviation from the
normal political pattern which
excites some folks and sickens
others, This election, though,
ihey seem to he completely void
of any sparkling opposition to
the government, As one would
expect, they disagree with the
Conservatives, But I am some
what disappointed that the Lib
erals have1 failed to unearth one
plank in their platform that can
stir the imaginations and the
emotions of Ontario voters,
As far as the NDP is com
cerned, candidates are fighting
mi uphill battle all the way.
People are afraid literally
frightened—to listen too closely
lest they will be compelled- to
admit that socialistic measures
are appealing. The same “so
cialism” policies advocated by
the NDP when implemented by
tho two major parties, are con
sidered public service legisla
tion which must come, eventu
ally. In- fact, those things which
the NDP has prescribed for so
long are the very basis of mod
ern Conservative and Liberal
policy, yet to declare oneself
in the NDP camp is to admit,
to communistic leanings and a
yen for the lazy, everything-
done-for-you life.
So, I’m confused and uncom
mitted.
Somehow I envy those blind,
devout voters who will support
one party always. Their role
is easily played, though not too
beneficial to the democratic
system we enjoy or the ulti
mate success of government.
Still, election time would be
much simpler if both pars were
deaf to everything except that
which I wanted to hear. The
six-week campaign1 would be an
expensive farce which would
result in little change in the
final outcome, but it would be
less head work for me and more
condusive to the kind of mon
opoly upon which some poli
ticians, thrive.

Rains continued to hold up the
white bean harvest and made
silo filling operations very dif
ficult last week.
Dry sunny weather is re
quired to combine the still un
harvested large acreage of
white beans.
Frost has affected crops in
many areas of the county, some
to advantage, others to dis
advantage.
Observations would indicate
that fall wheat sown during the
dry... period is not germinating
evenly.
More supplementary feeding
of dairy cattle has started as
pastures continue their normal
fall decline.
