We thus have a situation where
any and every service proposal
has to be explained to a body

ment."
For the uninitiated, this was
meant tO imply thatThorneycroft
has eliminated "Parkinson's
Law" from his Ministry. The Law ,
states: ; Work expands so as to
fill the time available for its
completion.
This reply was given in Par-
liament only three months after
Thorneycroft had introduced a
"revolutionary . streamlined"
ministry. Now, two and a half
years later, we find a socia-
list minister, Denis Healey, st-
ruggling in the suffocating grip
of the octopus. `the ministry
of defence is known as "Healey's
Monster".
CIVILIANIZATION
The original. idea was to curb
the independence of'the three ser.
vices. The method: To bring the
ministry's senior civil servant
administrators into closer con-
tact with the Chiefs of Staff of
the three services. The result:
The addition of one more decis-
ion-making tier on the defence
structure.
Mr . Healey recently reported
a reduction in civilian staff at
ministry H.Q. from 377,358 to
367,127. This top hamper works
others; say 265 total. In a word
it is obvious that "unification"
has become "civilianisation".
COMMITTEE SYSTEM
In 1914.18 we used to say the
next war would be won or lost
by the typewriter. In 1939-45,
it would be lost by the multi-
copier, In 1966 it is clear the
next war will be lost by the
committee system.
Needless to say a "Committee
on Civilianization" bas been set
up, but to date it has, surpris.
ingly, failed to co-opt a °"com.
mittee on the committee", such
as is possessed by the Cabinet.
The navy, swallowing hook, line
and sinker, has set up a "Fu.
ture, Fleet Committee",' to brief
the Board of Admiralty in its batt-
le for funds. It reported in Oct.
ober and the report is now being
mulled over by the three ser.
vices, prior to submission to
Healey,
the civilian staff at the H.Q.
of the respective services.
"Talk to us" says the Min.
istry of • Aviation, "and to hell
with the R.A.F."
In the result, co -location, far
from giving the civil servant do-
' mination over the services, has
merely compounded the dilemma
of the minister . of defence, He

THE CANDIDATE SPEAKS

LLS-
for
MAYOR
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
As a fellow citisien seeking your support in this municipal election,
1 want first to assure you that•I have..only one sincere desire in heading your
municipal government, as mayor, and that is to develop to the utmost, the
great industrial, and tourist potential of this fine town. Our town needs
aggressive, outspoken, far-sighted, and energetic leadership to bring about this
`development immediately.
This is exactly what I wish to do for you. 1 have carefully studied our
•present program of spending, and I find:
1. We need, careful, far-sighted study of our spending, to avo°d inadequate
results in our large expenditures.
We need examination, and reapportionment of our tax spending, to avoid
over -spending on some of our main roads, when other streets remain in dis-
repair. -
3. We need a definite Public Works Program for systematic road and side-
walk repairs, and street lighting.
4. We need a Safety Program, to insure the erection of needed stop signs; and
stop lights, to protect both the young, and the older residents.
5. We need an enthusiastic Industrial Development Program, with new
ideas, and energetic, enthusiastic men, to bring new industry in Immedi-
ately.
6. We 'need a planned and enthusiastic Tourist Program, to promote the
interest, and hospitality of our town.
7. We need an active, and carefully planned Historical Development Program,
to commemorate the early years, and early workers of our town.
This should enable you to see my ideas, and approach to municipal gov5
ernment. We are at a crossrpads, do we go ahead with enthusiasm or do we
gradually subside as we are now. The choice is yours.
1 am not saying that I am the ideal person for this position, 1 only
offer to work for you with enthusiasm, energy, and endurance.
Some have expressed concern for my time. I wish to state that I wilt
attend all council meetings' and functions as they occur. I intend to practise
as usual, and by careful planning I should have no problem finding the
necessary time for both.
Some have expressed concern oyer my interest in the Harbour. 1 wish
to state that the position of Mayor places one in a position where decisions
must be fair to all concerned, and not for personal gain.
Some have expressed concern over my lack of experience. 1 say that
the place for action in our municipal government is in the position of
Mayor, and no amount of Nersuasion could convince me to sit on a council
where new ideas are frowned on; and criticism of our young councillors
are freely allowed; and public issues frequently discussed in the secrecy
of "committee of the whole."
My wife, and my family knowing the deep feeling I have for our town,
support and encourage me in this campaign for the Mayoralty of Goderich.
I deeply appreciate the outspoken support of mfr friends, my patients,
my colleagues, neighbors, acquaintances, arid all those who have called to offer
their support. I only hope, that if elected, I can justify their faith in me.,
It has been most gratifying to see the interest exofessed by all of us
in this election. Civic response like this can only mean a real desire for
leadership, by oOr townspeople in our Mayor and, Council for 1967-1968.
