Canadians cannot complain of lack of op- * portunity to cast their vote: they suffer from a surfeit of the democratic process, Canada’s new Prime Minister Mr, Pierre * Elliott Trudeau had barely acknowledged the verbal tributes on his election as leader of the Liberal Party when he announced yet an- . other a Federal election. Followers of the game of cricket may ap- plaud his decision as a sporting gesture, a jotly good show, and other appropriate, if empty, phrases. Myr, Trudeau appears ready to give the other chaps a crack at winning the clection — if they can, More realistically, we suggest that Mr, Trud- eau has called an election because he believes . the Liberal party can win it on the reflected glory of his victory at the party convention. The applause, the banners, the happy chants of Liberals at play may indeed indicate a clim- ate of approval for his leadership. But the electorate of Canada is a more contrary body than those already committed to a single pol- itical party.

Editor, Herald, Due to the unsightly mess the town is in, I thought you might be interested in printing a letter to the citizens about same. Let’s place a large sign at each sentence to the town reading “Municipal Dumping Grounds”, If you-take a good look aroumd, anyone would have to admit that they would not look too much out of place, What do we see? Anywhere from one to five old cars lying in some yards even in the down- town area. Lots and lots of old sheds of every description, most of ther leaning every which way, and ready to collapse, . Lumber, rotting posts, bottles, cans, you name it, all over the place --paper caught in fences and dirty sidewalks and roads. Your first thoughts on the last two mentioned will immediately be “why doesn't the works de- partment clean these messes up?” They are municipal. re- sponsibilities, The main reason they don't and possibly can’t is lack of enough men, money and equipment to even. consider it. Wouldn't it be more sensible, when all casts for municipal works come from you and I, to put on a large scale do-it-your- self clean-up program, _ Letts start, at home...

Do you sweep off and remove dirt, paper, ete. from your sec- tion of the sidewalk and gutter at least weekly, If possible, and if the water is available, the sidewalks should be washed once a | in a while as well, The rest of you guys and gals with nothing to clean up, you ‘can help too, You and everyone else can make a habit of putting those gum wrappers, cigarette packages, etc,, in your pocket until you get near a trash I hear the city is going to provide more of these, Let*g hope this is correct, Why do you say’ we set a dead-| line at June 1 (This year of course) for completion of this highly needed project, Just a thought, Maybe one or more of our service orgentzations could take this in hand and organize transportation for car wrecks . #| and. other. miscellaneous junk, “The best part ‘of it is we even - fj get paid for a project like this in personal satisfaction and com. pliments on “what a clean ahd tidy town you have here’ from visitors and tourists. ct ‘Don’t think the outsiders wai't notice it, as I am sure they have noticed the: mess that has been 50 prominent in the past. : . _ R.
