The vote marked the first time at the ballot box for young people between the ages of '18 and 21, and two area youths, Eugene and Cecil Regier, are shown here as they line up for their ballots in front of election officials Claire Deichert and Ted Steinbach.

"This would be a tremendous area in which to have a govern- ment operate efficiently, " he said. Mr. Gaunt referred to the provincial take-over of the assessment system as one of the biggest blunders they ever made, and he claimed that the Tories completely disregarded the advice to leave assessment within local areas.

"Just since he has replaced Robarts as premier, he has increased the spending in that department by 60 percent, " he added. "The Tories are spending our money twice as fast as we can make it." In concluding his remarks, Mr. Gaunt outlines some of the policies of the Liberal party under Bob Nixon. He said Mr. Nixon has pledged himself to re -organize the entire govern- ment under their "Blueprint for Government, " pointing out that ZURICH FALL FAIR QUEEN F THE FAIR DANCE Zurich Community Centre Friday, September 24 9.30 P.M. to 1 A.M.
