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 jolly good show, and other appropriate, if empty, phrases, Myr. Trudeau appears ready to give the other chaps a crack at winning the election — 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. Join forces to Pressure on industry to im-| ment being produced by their prove its performance in pollu-| affluent society. tion control continues to build up more concerned with the environ. There is among Canadians “‘an as Canadians grow increasingly | almost primitive reaction against the brutal and ugly aspects of The past two deadlocked elections reflected dissatisfaction with both the Liberal and Con- servative parties, demonstrated by the increas- ed representation of the New Democratic Party in the House of Commons, The Liberal and Conservatlye Parties have since presented new leaders‘to the country. But the country has not as yet been given the opportunity to evalute their potential merits as Prime Min iser of a government which could lead the country out of a growlngly precarious sit- uation, Mr, Stanfield has at least been able to function as a leader of the opposition, But Prime Minister Trudeau has, to date merely gone through the motions of naming a make- shift cabinet, and calling an election, In a time when the nation needs a strong government to find effective answers to in- flation, increasing unemployment, and an acute housing shortage, the pecple must go to the polls to select a Government whose leader is as yet unproven.

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 them leaning every which way, and ready to collapse. oe 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 costs for municipal works come from you and I, to put on a large scale do-it-your= self clean-up program, Let's start, at home, vat least ones 60, twice: clean the. Pl ce up. completely, I be complimented, need there be more said, If your home fronts on a street without sidewalks, why not get out clean your section of the} Bm street, such as gathering up the leose rocks, sticks cans, etc,; rake up and keep the roadside grass cut, on a sidewalk, pick up the paper: and sweep your section of the sidewalk and gutter once ina while, How about you business men? Do you sweep off and remove dirt, paper, etc, 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 Let’s 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.
