To date there seems t:3 be very little interest shown and t his is not too hard to figure out. People in Ontario have never had it se good, and the present government headed by John Robarts deserves a great deal of credit in helping to a„•:sieve this healthy situation. There will be little doubt in the minds of Huron voters as to whom they want to represent them during the next term of government. Hon. C. S. MacNaughton has served the riding well, first as Minister of High- way and now as Provincial Treas- urer. We doubt if ever in the history ,of Huron County there has been as good a member of parliament as the present one. Charlie never quit working for the people of Huron, in Queen's Park, and all indications are that he never will. No one individual has ever done as much for as many people in the riding as Charlie has. We need only look in our immediate area to see what he has and is doing for us. Our member worked to no end in as- sisting the group of men who devoted so much effort in the planning and building of Blue Water Rest Home. As Minister of Highways he was in- strumental in having Highway 4 re- built from the south to the north end of the county. He rendered a great deal of assistance to the village of Hensall in the rebuilding of their main street, which they might well be proud of today. The Provincial Treasurer has play- ed' a big role in bringing about a de- velopment at the former Centralia air station, which will eventually be of great benefit to the entire area. After the federal government exe- cuted the death sentence to the former station, Charlie went to work in an effort to replace the site with an alternative plan which will event- ually lead to employment for many persons in this district. These are just a few of the projects he has engineered for this immediate area, and there is no doubt he has done likewise for the north half of his riding. Add to this the hundreds of personal favors he has done for in- dividuals, and you will find enough reasons why he should be returned to office for another term. Undoubtedly, the other two candi- dates in Huron are both honorable men, and probably either one would make a good member of parliament. However, at the present time there seems to be no need to change from the man with the capabilities of Charlie MacNaughton. The team of John Robarts, Charlie MacNaughton, Bill Davis, James Auld, Robert Welch and Bill Stewart, to mention only a few, can be proud of the ac- complishments they have achieved over the past years, and should look to the future of Ontario with the confidence which they have earned from all it's residents. Their cam- paign slogan, "your date with prog- ress”, holds especially true in regards to re-electing them as the govern- ment of Ontario. We are not necessarily saying that the Conservative party should stay in power for ever in Ontario, but until there is something better to of- fer we should certainly go along with what we have. Neither of the two opposition parties have shown enough initiative to warrant the confidence of the people in the province, and neither of the two opposition parties have enough top calibre men with which they could form a government. We need Charlie MacNaughton in Huron, and we hope the voters give him an outstanding vote of apprecia- tion for what he has done. We want to continue having a member of par- pliament in Huron who is the second top man in the Ontario Government.

Sponsored by the Huron Progressive Conservative Association J From My Window I wouldn't Nvant this to get around, but I still haven't made up my mind how I will vote next week. half the pleasure of an election for 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. I 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 in 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, they seem to be 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 have 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 con- cerned, candidates are fighting an 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 the two major parties, are con- sidered public service legisla- tion which must come, eventu- ally. In fact, those things which the NDP has prescr.ibed for so long are the very basis of mod - By Shirley Keller 1 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 ears were deaf to everything except that which I wanted to hear. The six-week campaign 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.
