DAWKIN’S DUNCAN DI-
VORCE: Cyril Dawkin is presi-
dent of the Socred Association
for Nanaimo-Cowichan riding.
The Association under his direc-
tion, has fielded a rookie candi-
date by the name of Lyle Wilk-
inson to attempt competition with
the other political stalwarts on
the big day this November, The
divorce bit came about a few
days ago when Duncan JAYCEE’S
invited all parties to join in a
forum, to use their own words,
“The sole reason for this (invi-
tation), is to give the Cowichan
public a chance to see and hear
each party representative.”

It seems Mr, Dawkin is a little
shy of having his candidate ap-
pear on the same dais with a
polished orator as Colin Cam-
eron: so he arranged a schedule
whereby Wilkie would not be able
to attend the meeting. This was
after Mr, Wilkinson had accepted
the invitation by telephone,

Then Dawkin roundly scolded
the Duncan Jaycees, “for one or
two members who seem deter-
mined to create bad feeling with
our party, and as far as my
personal opinion ,is concerned,
I would have told them a long time
ago what they can do with their
forum, but I am not running as a
candidate, All I am doing is
airing my own thoughts,”

No one will deny the Socreds
have chosen a weak candidate
for lack of a better one, but for
the campaign manager todivorce
the Jaycees on whom the Soc-
reds have depended for support
in the past, is an odd act indeed.
Lacking C, of C, and J.C.’s sup-
port there probably wouldn’t have
been a B.C, Social Credit Party
in the early fifties. Dawkins’
action could be termed, “biting
the hand that feeds you.” Of
course they are touchy, the
Socreds in this riding won’t poll
enough votes to get their money
back,

NOTES FOR McKNIGHT: Apart
from the federal election, other
news from Port Alberni finds
George McKnight as candidate
for Alderman in December civic
election, Voters in the Port city
would do well to support Mc-
Knight, He is a local thinking

progressive who will raise a
strong voice to have the pulp
mill take some immediate action
to eliminate unhealthful odour
from the mill smoke stacks,
This, along with a solution to
the local tax question will be
McKnight’s platform, An X in
the proper place is a vote for
progress in Port Alberni,

Back to the federal election
in the Valley. The Liberals are
running a strong candidate
against the NDP incumbent, The
cliche, “politics makes strange
ped-fellows,” can be well applied
here for Mr. Jordon proved to
be an active mayor for a number
of years and to join in the Lib-
eral defeat on November 8th is”
hardly a fitting tribute to a man
who was popular amongst his
fellow citizens, It’s an unfitting

death to a long political career,

UNFAIR TO UNEMPLOY-
ABLES: A worker on Unemploy-
ment Benefit is allowed to earn
extra money, If the worker had
been employed at lower pay than
average, his Unemployment
Benefits are lower inaccordance
to amount earned at employment,
This may-not be just, but it is
understandable, However, if the
low paid worker on lower bene-
fits earns extra money, it must
be less than the worker who re-
ceives the highest benefit.

Here is legislation that might
be changed if but one elected
representative were to broach the
subject in the House, In this
dynamic society we enjoy, the
psychology of government is to
keep the poor poorer, and the
rich richer, It may seem a
trivial issue, but certainly not
to the many thousands of unem-
ployed across this vast Dominion,

According to Doug Greer, Lib-
eral hopeless for Nanaimo-Co-
wichan, there will be no unem-
ployment if he is elected in this
riding. Everyone will be on the
Greer wagon, which to him seems
to be an advantage in itself, For
the past month this candidate
has spent most of his campaigning
on outlying Islands at the ex-
pense ofa thriving lawyer’s prac-
tice, Along with his manager,
the tour expenses run high: who
supplies the money? That a good
question,

,an aldermanic candidate of the

Labor Election Committee has
been elected on the first count.

Mary Kardash topped the
school Board field of seven con-
testants with a vote of 3,306,
(23.1% of the total), just 272
votes short of the quota, On the ©
transfer of second choice ballots,
she was the only one to get over
the quota, CEC candidates, A.
Zaharychuk and Olga Fuga were
the other two trustees elected
with votes under the quota,

In a dull and listless campaign
which was overshadowed by the
federal contest, the splendid
showing made by Zuken and Kar-
dash is attributed to their record
of public service in the struggles
for lower taxes on homes, in-
creased financial aid from the
senior governments for educa-
tion, and the daily needs of the
people of Ward 8 and of the city
as a whole,
