WHAT ARE WE VOTING. ' FORT
When ,Ontario , voters • go to the polls
on • Wednesday of next week, whatwill
they be voting for, ? If ask
ed,• that question
;Personally,.. could , you answer it knowled-
gably.
Form
any,. the ballot will be the •us-•
ual' :partisan •expression of customary ad-
herence to PartyregardessThose who
bhp
"seek . the truth" and provide the nucleus
which;- often elects or defeats a : govern-
ment, will probably be wallowing ' in the
mire, of indecision unless the next week
brings some sharply defined statement of
policies, and some clearing up of . the many
chargesof malfunction , of .administration
in municipal and provincial affairs.
For instance, how inany of those 'e1-
ible to cast a ballot are intelli e n tly in-
formed on ' the proposed, pension plans,
either Dominion or Provincial. In'' spite of:.
this, a return of the Robarts administra-
tion would be interpreted . as a •mandate
to persue the provincial plan.
By' the same token, we have been
lulled irito believing that 'organized ' crime:
does notexist in Ontario. Those who raise
the, question, abeiF as an election issue,
are ":accused' of n
ve
"ulnccori ` the garbage
._ g g g.
can.". At any, other time controversial sub-
jects can too easily be swept under the
rug,
The week -end developments, :: which
saw the resignation Of Robert J. Cudney,
Ontario's deputy provincial ' secretary, again
arouses deep misgivings in the ,'minds of ?.
many people: Mr. Cudney testified before
the Royal Commission . on crime last year
and ` the truth of his revelations was never
questioned.. It appears,/ unrealistic, : on . the
• face. ohk., . o have a man ;w has been
in public service for so long, and within.
a few years of retirement, ' on full pension,
give up his , life's work just to ,createan
election issue;
The apathy of the public, + or the
what -can -we -do -about -it attitude, is often
• alarming. It seems that too : often we, : are
prone to follow ` ' the most juicy carrots
which are dangled before. us, ' forgetting
who, isdoing the gardening and paying to
harvest the crop.
There are times that suchapparent ap-
i ., athy is only a camouflage, and an awakened
public decides:'to do some serious thinking
about the election -time .: benevolencepf
those who seek to govern:
Could it be that behind the apparent
apathy, : to this . provincial election cam-
paign, there is some soul-searching. in 'pro-
gress?
pro-gress:+
Memories of the Federal election cam
paign, ,followed .so 'closely by a provincial
vote, may find the ..electorate a bit -tired'
of being sold 'a pig . in a poke. This is the
position the rank ' and file of the electors
are in when, the issues are vague and
clouded. ' The ' answer will be determined
`next Wednesday by the percentage of el-
igible voters who; exercise . their franchise
-=+- and how, they exercise it..
A
FAIR DAY . APPROACHES
The Lucknow Fall- Fair, the Village's
one and only annual "big day" is fast 'ap-
proaching.The date is Thursday : next,
September. 26th, the day following the
provincial election, a fact which is of no
consequence to the success o, r otherwise
of the+. show. The weather . man is the big
factor in .this respect.
This year's fair is listed as the '98th.
annual exhibition, but there is some . ques-
tion as to the accuracy of this.. Some un
. official'` records would indicate that the fair
was established a hundred years. ago:;'
If so, the 'Society; is eligible for a gen-
erous provincial grant forthe erection of
Memorial Gates.
As we have previously . said, an o
ganization which has existed for a century,
must have served a worthwhile & necessary
' purpose in , the community, or :long since
it would have died a natural death.
• Of late years the Society j has ,had its
ups/and downs :but with park . and arena
offering "improved ` facilities, the, show has
a greater potential than is being 'developed.,
However, as with 80many organ-
izations, there are too few, todo the work
and give the leadership ._ that is ",essential.
The . Lucknow Fall Fair, we believe,
offers the opportunity ortun . for a co-operative
rural -urban effort, which could : wellmake
it one of the top fairs in :the district.
Keeping in mind the coming centennial
celebration make it a point to attend this
year's fair, as the needed impetus to launch
an activated. organization ' into '!orbit."
