Frank Howard says his

party did well both in Skeena ,.

and provincially, and now he
wants to get down to work..

In examining the results of
the, May 10 provincial

election it is abyious,. even .

though we didnot form the
government, that- -we had a
great victory," ‘Howard said.
. “In what wasa two way fight.
between distinctly different
philosophies, the NDP
reached a level of populor
support throughout B.C.
almost equal to that of the
Social Credit Party."

3A few years ago the
basic NDP vote in B.C, was
about 35 per cent. In the
early to mid 1970's that vate
moved up to a base of 40 per
cent. In this election we
received nearly 47 per cent
of the populor vote and that
can be classified in no other
way . but, succesful,” said
Howard.

“In Skeeng the situation is
slightly ahead of the
Provincial Average. We
obtained a fraction more
than 50 per cent of the

“popilor-v vote. of course the
‘final count won't be made for
at least 12 days, but! feel

confident that our majority’.

will hold when the absentee.
ballots are counted.’
Howard won. Thursday’s
election by about, 300 votea,
but that was before one poll
and the absentee ‘votes had
been counted, In addition,
Social Credit candidate Cyril
Shelford hag stated he feels

-. there. were . some
irregularities and has in.

dicated he would be asking
for a recount. In spite of
these questions, however,
Howard was. confident his
win would atand..

“The results here. in
Skeena would not have been

ible without the help of .

undreds of campaign
workers. who committed
themselves to support the
economic and social] con-
science of the NDP. To them
I issue my most. sincere
thanks," Howard said,
“Ags always the most
monumental task is ahead of
us. To preserve democracy
we must,contime to work

’ together and to that purpose

I commit myself,”

FRANK HOWARD SMILES”

Shelford disputes voting

. Cyril Shelford, " defeated
Skeena. provincial Social
Credit candidate, says that
several questions are being
rained out the May 10
voting proceedure in this
riding.

Shelford said Sunday he is
waiting for the final count to
be taken on May 23 before he
decides if a recount of the.
ballots should be taken.

Votes counted on Thursday

. fave Frank Howard, the
New Democratic Party
candidate 7,946 and Shelford
6,965, whichis a difference of
391 votes,

Shelford says ihe has
learned that the
officer in Moricetown signed
for the voters there instead
of the Individual - voters
signing for themselves. Each
voter normally signs for
himself at the pol ‘and

Shelford says that no one
else can sign for the voter,

Howard received 109 votes
and Shelford received 18
votes in Moricetown.
Shelford says that neither
Howard nor he should get the
votes,

Some of the other polls are
in dispute and Shelford said
his campaign committee
lawyer will be looking into
them.

Shelford is presently
waiting for the absentee vote

count. .

Another NDP win is also
being questioned. In Atlin, a
seat previously held by
Sccial Credit candidate
Frank Calder, the difference
in the vote count is nine
‘votes. Calder lost to Alan
Passarell, the NDP can-
didate, but Shelford says a
recount will have to he made
to be sure.

He still sings a touching tune.

After a leisurely life
cruising aboard his sailboat,
Glen Yarbrough has gone
back to work.

On stage at the R.E.M. Lee
Theatre Saturday night he
- admitted that he hadn't been

working much lately but had

finally decided, after two
months, _ galling | in the

Méaitt eranean,..that. he

should. put, together a show,

and go on tadr. And the show

he has constructed is a

delight indeed.

The heavy-set, former
member of the folk group,
The Limelighters, has a
unique voice which is un-
mistakeable. He won round

and appreciative audience

brough is on stage right from.
the beginning. There is no

prolonged warm up by

previously unknowns or the
chance some smal] local
group would set the wrong
tone for the concert.
Yarbrough did enough of
the old favorites to trigger
some memories in the
somewhat older... than
average concert crowd, :
While ma: >of: “the
members of t ‘atidlenice -
were old enough to have
happily revelled in the new
quaint folk hits and well-

_established favorites the

Limelighters featured on
their. many. albums and
toured with throughout their
long popularity, Yarbrough
stuck mostly to newer
material.

Yarbrough admitted he
wanted a hit song, one to
make the tour he and his
Denver, Colorado, sidemen
are setting out on a success.
He said he foumd a sure thing
but Kenny Rodgers got to it ,
first. Yarbrough sald it was"
too good a song to exclude
and graciously suggested the
audience should buy
Rodgers album if they liked

it. He did-use a song or two |

from the album he just
recorded in Denver, though,
haping one would make the
charts.

‘Along with him on the tour,

"Yarbrough brings two

female vocalists and a
former member of the New
Christie Minstrels who fill in
for him part way through the
show so he can rest his voice,
which incidentally is almost
a strong as when he was
hardly more than a college

boy.
In a performance that not
only charmed the audience,

“put also teuched deeper

emotions’ ‘rather: than just
rocking the inner core of
your being with sheer

The song which summed
up Yarbrough’s current
show is!one in which the
singer asks if anyone has any
use for an old folksinger, one

audience with a sad song or
have them singing along
with a happy one. The an-
swer from the people who
turned out Saturday night
was that there is still an
audience for good music,
lyrics you can listen to and a
masterly performance by
skilled artists devoted to
entertaining. -
