There are those who like to point out that Trudeau wasn't elected by all regions of the country: that in the Westhis representation is thin. }tie representation __may be thin_ but his vote tall 3 — -even-in-the areas where the Liberals didn't win seats was still substantial. It's wrong to say that nobody in the West agrees with Trudeau because.from the votes the Liberals got in losing causes it is obvious that there are people out there who support Trudeau. The problem with the conference is that while everybody claimed to be speaking for the people they were really speaking for themselves and their own power base. Many people have felt for a long time that if we're going to reform the constitution we must have an unbia .sed body to do the reforming. Instead of a tug-of-war between provincial and federal governments we should have the real voice of the people, perhaps through a conference to which the participants were elected by the people. That way the Indian group s, the women groups, the farm groups, all those that felt left out of the Helme4r and Margaret Snell Snells- 50 years full of music, activity BY WILMA Helm and Marge et Snell of/30 Ord Street.

He was first stationed in Sca- forth, then Goderich and later at the Owen Sound detachment until his retire- ment as a Cpl. in the O.P.P. This ended his 36 year career as a policeman. -When asked what was one of the biggest changes he sees now in police work he replied, "Changes in the work day --the hours have changed fantastically over the years—an eight hour day was never heard of." Mr. Snell said when working for the Huron Police force he had to do duty at Grand bend during the summer months when the crowds were immense. On weekends he said it was not unueual for him to head home to Seaforth to bed at 4 a.m. and then to be back at work in Grand Bend before noon ready to put in another 16 nr 17 hew tour of duty. The work was mainly crowd control. Warm ings were often effective and few charges laid. he said.

That way policies could be made that were in the interests of peeple; not governments. That the interests of the ordinary citizens were a high priority at this conference can be seen in the debate over a charter of rights in a new constitution. Suddenly men who had proclaimed themselves loud and long as democrats, people who had 'taken pot shots arPierre TitielFaiThrbeing an autocrat, turned against the idea of putting down on 'paper the rights of Canadian citizens. They made fancy excuses such as the fact most provinces already had a bill of rights but in the long run the real reason they admitted was that they thought the legislators of the provinces should have the right to determine people's rights, not the courts. Even Allan Blakeney of Saskatchewan, one of the premiers I admire most, argued that the hands of the legislators musn't be tied by rights put down in a constitution if they wanted to do something that would discriminate agianst Canadians from outside , their province. Somehow the voice of the people has to be heard in this issue. Perhapa, if we can get nothing better, a referendum would at least help. 1 1 1 1111111111 1 1 1 1111111111111111 11 111111111111111111111/0 .R�expeted .....,.... . — ‘„ontinned from,page ye.urs, two'yeats as reeve and pup rars•ns put), '• • Thomas Cunningham of R.4: 1, AnDirk the deputy -reeve of flullett Township, also said he eeuICIn't‘givean,answer right new on his election plans'. • Mr, Cuntiitifeliatn said, "I did say I wooldn't be back as deptity-reeve".
