Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, SEPTEMBER 28, 1967 Voters Are Looking. a t Alternative with election day a little more than two weeks distant, political activity at both the local and provincial levels is -increasing. Candidates are ° concentrating on a meeting as many of the electors as is possible between • now and election day and diseu>3sing in:detail the issues. That there are important issues is becoming increasingly apparent to the, electorate. The press, too, is stressing s problems facing the government, an editorial in a recent issue of the Clin- ton News -Record under the beading "Time to Change?". being typical. "We doubt whether so many clear cut election issues have ever been so " evident this early in a provincial ele - tion in our riding—or indeed, if there .;has ever been so much , speculation about the outcome:`f'• •the News -Record comments after pointing out the dif- ficulties the opposition faces in unseat- ing a member as popular as Hon. C. S. MacN'aughton. _The Clinton paper goes on in part in these words: "No, the thoughtful political rebel in the riding is trying to .determine which way the opposition .vote will swing and' how long it". will be before the dissenters' voices will be. heard above the arrogant PC progress re- ports. - "•For there Ls discontent. On every ____,Ihand in the riding there are voters, who- ..... are not enthused about the Robar*;;' regime which seems to go on indefin- itely. It isn't so much any -one particular flaw in the PC machine as the fear that too much power ,for too Tang will serve no useful purpose in the end. "And the move is on, say the experts,' toward a Change. Even in the Huron riding, the signs are everywhere, that previously party orientated voters are beginning to kick over the traces and -support policy or personality that ap- peals." This of vouraeis what is causing concern to .the government party. Long, years in office — a Conservative gov- ernment has ' been . in office more than 24 years — tends to create assumptions .of infallability that result in a lesson- , ing of the appreciation which every government must have of the needs of the ordinary citizens. It is such an at- titude that leads to arrogant decisions in certain areas on the one hand and the drift and lack of decision in other areas which has become so apparant in recent years. Typical of these are the cFimmendable moves to improve the standard of rural education but which are carried out by bureaucratic pres- Sures without regard to economy or com- mon 'sense and the do 'nothing attitude - prevailing in connection w ith urban-rur- ,,al relationships particularly as they af- ,feet assessment and taxes. - As the . Clinton paper points out, the electors, as not in recent years, are as- sessing past performances, are looking • at the alternative and in reaching a de-. vision frequently will ignore past vot- ing practises.

' So why didn't she finish her course' in the first place? ,Well, to put • it in the vernacular, she got a bun in the oven. The bun. turned out to be our first-born. She struggled bravely to carry on at lectures, but decided that the bun, (now spelled bum), was more important than the Romantic Poets and the Mod- ern Novel, Secondly„ the idea has been percolating for several years. She has too much intellectual curiosity to sink into the famil- iar morass of 'teas and bridge and curling and gold and gos- sip, 1 Thirdly, the kids. are out of the shell.
