The eagerly anticipated solar eclipse on
Monday was itself eclipsed by cloud cover.
What a disappoistment it must have been to
those gathered at Brandon and Winnipeg
with all preparations made and scientific
equipment on hand to view and record the
total eclipse expected there. Here we would
have seen only a partial view but were
denied even that. All we experienced was an
added dullness to the already cloudy day. All
the worry over children and other foolhardy
folks suffering eye damage by direct viewing
proved unnecessary. That perhaps was
good, for some, no doubt would have dared
direct viewing in spite of all the warnings. It
was not disappointment to Debbie and mefor
wedo not have a TV in this office and had no
plans for viewing it elsewhere on a busy
Monday. Neither of us would have been
foolish enough to step outside for a direct
look.

With the weather we have been having
some of our streets have become danger-
ously slippery. While sanding has been done
it still takes careful driving in some places to
avoid trouble. Watch it!

Elston complains about lists
(Continued from Page 1)
Jenkins explained to council that it was
not uncommon for people with no voting
rights to show up on the voters' lists. He
said enumerators go door to door gathering
information needed to prepare the voters'
lists and take people 'at their word. He
said the enumerat ors do not challenge
people to make sure all information is
correct but simply notate what they are told
and pass it on to the assessment office
staff.
He said any incorrect information given
the enumerators would be key punched
and no questions asked. He pointed out
there is no way there is time to check on
every person in the counties adding that
any mistakes hopefully will be cleared up
after the election.
"The keypunch operator depends on the
enumerator for correct information," said
Jenkins. "Two years ago we had a dog on
the voters' list, he quipped.,
He said there are several reasons
mistakes occur. Some people simply aren't
aware of their rights, some misunderstand
questions the enumerator asks and some
are errors made by assessment office staff,
, But he stressed that it was more
important to get a person on the voters' list
under incorrect information than to leave
them off. He told council his experience
has been that it is far better to have a
person on the list three times than not at
all. "There is a greater hue and cry when
people are missed than when they're on
and there's a mistake" said Jenkins.
The assessment officer told council his
staff was using records from the last
voters' list to improve on the next one
adding that hope rully there will be very few
problems like the 'ones Reeve Elston
referred to. He said the computer that
prints out the voters' lists was being
programmed with more information tha
ever before so that duplications will be
eliminated. He said people that own
several pie;:es of property in one
municipality appear on the voters' list for
every property owned, Under the new
system they will only appear once, under
the property they reside on. He added that
birth dates, which are now included in
computer instructions, should prevent
fathers from appearing twice on voters'
lists when sons with the same name don't
appear at all.
