"THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE" ISSUE A-11
Editor's Corner
Another big name on the Hollywood scene is
no longer with us. Natalie Wood, a classy
actress is dead. She was predeceased by
another class actor in the person of
William Holden who died a couple of weeks
ago.
Both were artists with extraordinary talent
and personality. Those of us who grew up
and lived during the careers of these two
fine film stars feel saddened and empty
at their passing. The good indeed seem to
die young.

Delegates at the Ontario Liberal Conference
in Toronto over the weekend had sone sting-
ing criticism of the Federal Liberals and
their budget. They described the new budget
as one that will increase taxes, fail to
reduce inflation, stifle investment, and one
that will discourage the creation of new jobs.
Although such forthright public criticism
shows that the Liberal Party is shredded
and divided by inner conflict, it also QMOINOW
shows that some Liberals are not going to
lay down andplay dead becauoe yr yne tiwo-
faced, forked -tongue policies of their
federal colleagues.
Canadians can at least respect a divided
Liberal Party because it shows that at
least some Liberals are honest and are
willing to call it like it is.

There are rumors Mr. Trudeau wants to
retire soon. The Prime Minister knows he is
on a sinking ship. If an election were
called today, the Liberals wouldn't have a
snowball's chance in you -know -where. And
rightly so. When it comes to turns and
twists Peggy Fleming appears paralysed by
comparison.
What the Canadian public wants is a little
honesty, a little realism and a little wis-
dom. Too big an order? Let's hope not.

This is Santa Claus time. For others it's
Christmas time. The latter has always
seemed more appropriate. "Santa; if we
want to admit it, is a creation of business
to promote sales. Nothing terribly wrong
with that, except that when taken to extremes
Santa Claus becomes the dominant personality
in the minds of kids when they think about
Christmas.
The Person who gives meaning to Christmas
and who should come to mind when kids think
about it is Christ.
