It's quite obvious to me that there are many parts of the Constitution that are not explicit enough, and the wor- ding leaves much to be desired. For an individual who has had as much experience in legal matters as he has, 1 believe that he is disputing now because of a guilty conscience. When the judges of the court have trouble internretinR thn r'^n- LETTERS stitution, there's something rotten in Den- mark somewhere. In reference to the Meech Lake Accord and Conferdation which took place in 1867 - If the provinces, after more than 100 years, Reader opposes ay rights Dear Editor: The election is almost here and now is the time to assess our politicians. You may recall that last December Jack Riddell voted and canvassed for Bill 7, the law that forces us to accept practising homosexuals into our schools, work places, etc. If you agree that Bill 7 is a bad law in this regard, then I would urge you to vote for some one else. • Jack is perhaps the best Agricultural Student to study at B.C. university Heidi Hoernig 17, of Goderich will spend the next two years studying at the Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific on Van- couver Island. She is one of seven Ontario students selected to attend a United World College by the UWC selection committee. Heidi is a grade 12 student at Goderich District Collegiate Institute. The Ontario Ministry of Education will provide approximately $20,000 toward the cost of her studies. Each of the United World Colleges accepts only 100 new students , a year. All are scholarship students and come from 59 countries of the world. Provisions for disabled voters Special provisions in voting procedures provide support for physically disabled, visually impaired and elderly electors who might otherwise be unable to Cast their ballots in Ontario's 34th provincial general election. Qualified electors who are unable to at- tend .a polling place because of illness or physical disability have options other than voting on election day. They may either cast a ballot at an advance poll; or vote by proxy. Designated advance polls, which provide level access or ramps to accommodate disabled or elderly electors, are scheduled for September 3, 5 and 7. Proxy voting is an option for electors who for medical reasons are physically in- capable of attending a polling place. This permits such an elector to authorize another elector. residing in the same electoral district to vote on his or her behalf. Proxy application forms may be obtained from any Elections Ontario office but they must be certified by the returning officer in the electoral district where the elector resides. The application form will be ex- changed for a certificate to vote which the' proxy voter must present at the polling place in order to receive a ballot and vote. The'person acting as proxy must be eligi- ble elector residing in the same electoral district and may not act for more than two electors. Visually impaired electors may have a friend or one of the poll officials read the candidates' names in the order they appear on the ballot. 'To enable these electors to align their ballots face up, a small notch has been cut into the edge of the upper right-hand corner of the ballot. Ontario election ballots are printed with the candidates' names appear- ing alphabetically down the left side with a circle to the right of each name for the elec- tor to indicate his or her choice. A notch has also been cut out beside each white circle. In accordance with the Ontario Election Act, the deputy returning officer may assist such electors in marking their ballot. A pro- vision in the election legislation also allows a friend - under oath - of a visually impaired or disabled elector to assist the elector and accompany that person through the voting process. ' Minister we have had for some time, and because of this he will no doubt be re- elected. However, please consider voting for some one else, as a reduced majority would give Jack the message that a lot of us out here still treasure the moral values we inherited from our parents. Yours sincerely, Peter Edisbury RR5, Lucknow cannot assume more responsibility for their actions, they never will. Centralized control from Ottawa was alright in the beginning, because the pro- vinces at that time were not sufficiently developed for total self-government. "The Finger," seems, to_infer that the population of Canada is mentally incunipe- tent. The only one who's gifted with logic and reasons is him. There.never was any conceit in his family because he's got it all. I believe he's the type of individual who will coerce his family, after they're grown up, with the threat that if they don't do what he tells them, he will disinherit then. I hope someone sends him a miniature mint, to amuse himself, and a yo-yo to re- mind him what he did to the Canadian dollar, hoping this will keep him out of the public's hair for awhile. Many farmers are still suffering from the inflationary spiral that the "Finger" created. Canada has outpriced itsel&in the world market. Sincerely, N. J.
