THIS WEEK AND NEXT by Ray Argyle WOOING THE 'UNDECIDEDS', Canada's voters watched and Waited this week, as leaders of the national parties hopped from Montreal to Vancouver in a flurry of campaign -closing rallies in the big cities. The last week of electioneer- ing, always considered vital in Canadian campaigns, was aim- ed at the "undecided" voter, whose final choice would tip the scales either way next Mon- day. According _to opinion polls, the- Liberals continue to hold a clear edge over the Conserva- tives on a national basis. If past performance is any indica- tion, the undecided voters will again split about the same way as those who have already made up their minds. This could give the Liberals up to 45 per cent of the vote, spelling a shattering defeat for Conservative leader John Dief- enbaker. But if Liberal strength is top- heavy in one province — such as Quebec—the outcome of the election in ridings throughout the rest of the country could present quite a different pic- ture from the national sam- _Classified ads pay dividends. coAL-FuEL.oIL '1 WILLIAM M.

J. WILDISH Golrner By JACX HOLLAND Well, comrades and friends, there is a real busy time ahead for all of us, so here's a few dates and events to jog down in your memory. - Thursday night of this week, Nov. 4, will see our annual drive for the Poppy .Fund, so when a Legion convasser drops around Thursday night, be" as generous as possible, as this fund is and can only be used for Veterans in distress, so each donation is going to help a Veteran whose lot is not as fortunate as ours. Saturday, Nov, 6th of this week brings along the annual Veterans' banquet, which is al- ways a real nice affair, as it brings together all the veterans from the surrounding district and, of course, the meal is al- ways something to remember with pleasure, so hope to see you there with your wife or lady friend. Sunday, Nov. 7th—The fall -in for the church parade is, at 10:30 down at the Legion Hall, and this year's services will be held at Northside United Church. Tuesday, Nov. - 9—Due to the Poppy drive, the executive will hold their meeting on the - above date. Thursday, Nov. 11 -Remem- brance Day services and fall -in for the parade to the Cenotaph at 10:15. This day, above them all, deserves a special niche in our hearts and in Canadian his- tory, because as a result of two world wars, nearly every fam- ily in this broad Dominion has been directly or indirectly af- fected by them, and it is only fitting to pay homage and with deep remembrance of those who, by -land and sea and air, died for the cause of freedom and the right to live in a land of democracy. So, Comrades, make a real effort to come out for the above dates, but espec- ially for the parade on Remem- brance Day. Let's part with a thought for our recently departed Com- rades, Jack MacLean and Wal- ter Pratt, who have been called to their reward. "At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them." plings of the opinion polls. The strongest single issue the Liberals have going for. them --- majority government — sur- faced in the closing days of the campaign, catching even Mr. Diefenbaker in its tide. After making his third visit of the campaign to Quebec last week, the former Tory prime minister .predicted he would be back in office after Nov. 8. But the best he could hope for, he said, was a minority adminis- tration—he didn't expect to- get a majority. Prime Minister Pearson, in contrast, built up the majority government theme to give it equal prominence to the need for national unity. Only a fed- eral government with a major- ity in the House of Commons, he said, could keep -the coun- try united while dealing fairly with the provinces. Despite many signs of voter apathy, such as 200,000 fewer registered voters than 1963, it was still anybody's guess how many would turn up at the polls. Many voters talked of staying home in protest, which could amount to a virtual vot- ers' strike if a large segment of the electorate took this course. Mr. Diefenbaker has worked the morality in government. is- sue for all it is worth. Some observers feel he has over- worked it, and that so many unproven charges have been made that the tactic has back- fired on the Conservatives. The Tory attack on Mr. Pear- son has been so slashing that the Conservative's party's own platform—which contains many enticing planks—has been shov- ed aside. Tory promises of a $100 per month old age pension and deduction of municipal tax- es up to $500 from taxable in- come have strong appeal to many voters, but they didn't get many headlines. As the returns begin to come in Monday night, it is unlikely that a trend will emerge until the Quebec ridings start report- ing. The seats to watch are ones now held by Real Caou- ette's Creditistes. If they can hang on, Liberal hopes for a majority will be blunted before many ballots are even count- ed. The Toronto returns will give a clue to the success of the NDP among big city voters. In rural Ontario, the Conservatives hope to recapture many Liber- al seats, and if they do so they will also be- able to hold the West. But if the Liberals can keep the Tories in check in Ontario, they'll have won their majority. - On the basis of my checks across the country, there ap- pears . to me to he a trend toward a clear majority for the 1 Liberals.
