They were informed then, that voters registered outside of Williams Lake could still vote here instead of at their own polling station, if they so desired, Why a rumour should be started to the contrary is beyona comprehension, unless it was prompted solely by ignorance of a voter’s rights, We hope that the prominence accorded to the facts in this instance will allay the fears of district voters who were possibly weighing the enjoyment of the Stampede against their re- sponsibilities as voters. The answer is that they ean, in this case, have their cake and eat it too, Williams Lake will provide the show and the polling station. ... And a Brickbat Along with the above bouquet, local Liberals also deserve a brickbat for the handling of the news release on last Satur- day’s slated talk by Attorney-General Wismer.

L Minister of Health & Welfare Turnbull is accusing several parties of making a political football of the service. He could look backwards and see that the plan has never been anything else. Beset by problems that have been caused mainly by poor administration, the ambitious service has also had to fight against public opinion that has been swayed at every opportun- ity by every politician who wanted a quick way to step into the spotlight. If it did nothing more than remove the stigma of the ‘politics’ label from the Hospital Insurance Service, the Pro-} school competition between Big posal of making the plan a commission would be worthwhile.
