The Issue in
• While the final decision will not be
known until Tuesday night, ev-
ery poll being taken across Canada in-
dicates that the Liberals under Prime
Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau are in
the lead and can be expected to form the
next goVernment.
There is of course good reason for
the results which the polls predict.
Mr. Trudeau has been, firm in his
resistance to demands that his party
make promises to gain election support.
Thus he will have a mandate which will
give him a free hand to attack the
Problems of high interest rates and in-.
creasing costs. This compares to the
costly proposals of Mr. Stanfield and
the Conservatives for a guaranteed an-
nual incomv and a tunnel to Newfound-
land.
Mr. Trudeau is concerned with Can-
ada as a whole and speaks with one
voice from coast to coast for a revital-
ized federal system based on linguistic
equality. The Stanfield position, on the
other hand, is clouded, by the reaction
to it by his Quebec lieutenants.
The. Trudeau Liberal position is im-
portant because 4 united Canada — a
Canada without special status for par-
ticular areas — is the only Canada

which can survive and which can re-
sult in a better life for us all.
Liberal 'policy recognizes the prob.:
lems of the small communities, the
towns and villages. It -proposes train-
ing programs as a means of creating a
labor force which in ttgn will attract
new industry and development.
Likewise the problems of the fann-
ers are recognized and insofar as mark-
eting is concerned will be met by the
Liberal proposal to establish, in co-op-
eration with the proviNces, a national
marketing board.. Liberal' policy assures
the small family farm of continued ex-
ance of farm incomes in bad years.
All these proposals :are part of what.
Mr. Trudeau means when he talks
about a "Just Society". He means that
individuals must be the major concern
r of government and that their well be,,
ing-is,of first important.
This is. why the polls indicate the re-
turn of the Trudeau government.
A government can .be elected only
• through the candidate's who support the
policies for which it stands. That is why'

BILL'S BIG DAY
' Father's Day, as I've said
• many a time, is a farce only ex-
ceeded by Mother's Day. Well,
this year, it was even farcier
than usual, around. our place.
It all started with a couple of
birdies trying to kill two birds
• with one stone. My birthday ar-
rived this year on a Sunday in
• June,. and my wife and daugh-
ter were delighted to realize that
it was also Father's Day.
Usually, I do pretty well in
June. First 'comes the birthday
present, with cards and love
and a pair of rubber waders, or
something romantic like that,
whieh I've been hinting about
for a month, and which goes
On my bill at the sports, shop.
• Then comes Father's Day, not
long after, and the whole pro-
cess is repeated, cards, leVe; a
whiff of respect and some golf
balls or other sentimental tok-
en which. . • (see previous par-
agraph.)
. I admit that it's a lot of
nuisance for the family, but
dammit, there shbuld be one
month in the year when a chap
is compensated for growing old-
er by picking up some loot he
needs.
This year, the girls had it all
figured out. They could avoid
half of that sloppy nonsense of
mucking about with cards, pa-
per and ribbon, and trying .to
be decent to me until at leaat
noon, and Save money on the
deal. ,
Well, I thought I'd go along
with it, even though I knew I
was being had. I not only had a
bath, but went to -dhurch. This
tied in. perfectly with the whole
theme, that it was . not only
birthday but also Father's Day.
Spurred by all the money she
was saving, my wife even, re-
membered to get her own father
off a card and gift, a little late
as usual, but sincerely felt,
nonetheless.
Everything went according to
schedule. Kim had stayed out
later than I had 'Suggested on
Saturday night, and I gave her
hell when she came in.
But when we gat home from
church, all was serene, thanks
to forgiving, big -headed Bill.
She said, tentatively, "Happy
Birthday, Dad", and 1 said
thanks, dear, and then I said
"And how about a Father's Day
hug to cement the deal?" and
got one.
Then we had the ceremony.
She went off, and brought in
the box, gaily wrapped, and
with one of her own iniuiitable
home-made cards on top.
It's a full sheet of paper,
• with "Happy Birthday Dad," at
the top, ,in fancy lettering. Be-
low is a sketch, two figures.
Bottom left is a stocky figure,
resembling a Porcupine, gray-

The Candidates Speak:

For the citizens of Huron

Now that the drtve-in theatres ' patrons who will likely never

another season my family and
I have been scanning the pro-
grams for possible entertain-
ment. Either I'm becoming a
prude or the 'movie,going public
has gone completely dippy. The
kind of shows being viewed by
regular theatre -goers are little
more than second rate sequels
to the batch of bad movies seen
last year.
Most popular, of course, are
the wide-creen pictures of
beautiful women wriggling from
, bedroom to bedroom where the
occupants are bare -chested bar
blltas who live for love and love
to live. Scenes show torrid lips
• and perspiration -soaked brows
in such quantities that even the
new improved spray deoderants
aren't up to the task of remov-
ing the stench.
The moral of these immoral
absurdities is that the course of
true love never runs smooth:
Most people. are very much
aware of that fact—especially
if they are married -,—and movies
like that are an insult to their
intelligence and a waste of the
grocery money.
Then there are the horror.
movies whi`ch attract their oVvn
brand of weirdos. Whether its
the ghost of somebody or the
monster from,somewhere, a few
warped minds gather before the
screen to hear the gurgling and
choking or to see the blood
gush forth. As some sick soul
chops up his mother and feeds

ence shudders and shivers

What's the matter with today's
movie makers who giv,e sex,
sadism and superficial stupidity
the top billings? It is little' won-
der that people stay away in
droves from theatres which
through no fault of their own
are finding it increasingly dif-
ficult to make it financially. I'd
much sooner put my feet up
front of my own television and
watch a re -run of an old Alan
Ladd movie for free than pay
a couple of bucks to abuse what
small amount of intellect I po-
ssess.
Certainly it is better for my
impressionable kids to spend an
evening blowing bubbles. Cow-
boy movies at least show right
from wrong; dog dramas teach
concern; shows about other kids
may prove helpful; eyen car-
toons are harmless. But few of
these subjects are studied in the
movies listed today and that's
why_the. day_ of_ taking the child-
ren to the movies is almost
passed. Thank goodness for Dis-
ney Studios! ,
For my husband and I, we
have no liking for bikini bashes,
love -ins ' and drum and guitar
equipped hotrods. We'd like to
see a movie with a good story
behind it, maybe even a bio- -•
graphical type Show or a
thought-provoking. portrayval of
some of today's problems. Sure
there would be some sex in-
volved and some sadism, too,
but not for the purpose of sex
and sadism alone. That's quite
different.'
And from a purely personal
point of view, I'd like to see
