4The canadjin statesman, igownmv1fe, sept. 22, 1pso IDITORIAL COMMENT Politics Is An Exciting Game! Grooms His Guernsey for the Show e 6dY unçîwrn,ç iam g-.i At the marnent, this area is grad- 'Vally warming up ta a federal election ecntest that will hit its peak on voting day, Navember 8th. At that time, the Voters of Durham County and ail the other constituencies in Canada wil decide by their ballots who will repre- sent them in the House of Commons at Ottawa. In the ineantime, a great deal of intensive work will be done by enum-. erators who this week are calling at every home fi twn and recording the nanie of each person of voting age, to inake-certain they are on the lists. These people, working under direction of the Returning Officer are taking care of the basic requirements connected with any election, but there is far more work of a valuntary nature going on continuaily within the party organiza- tians. That is where every citizen can play an important part in helping this systemn we cali democracy work at its best. Tlierc' probablv xiii be three cari- didates in the fieid locaill'v, represent- ing the Li berais, Progressive-Conserv~a- tives and New Deqmocratie Part.v. Thesei are the people who will hear the main1 brunt of thp strenuous campaign that1 lies ahead. We know frnm experienceE that for the next several weeks, theyE wiil be gaing nîght and day, with littie rest, attending arganization meetings al over the canstituenex-, making speeches outlining their platfot-ns, plus a million and one other things that have ta be taken care of. Persans who have neyer been candidates in such an election cannot possibly have any idea of the xvork invalved by those who allow their names ta stand. It is an ordeal, but a most enjoyable and chaI- lengine ane, if one likes that type af activity. The point we ar- tryiîîg ta put across is that each of us, flot just the candidates, is a memnber of a Canadian teamn. Each of us has a responsibility towar-ds aur country ta do aur part ta make cettain aur democratic system functions properly. We are shirking that dutv if we merely sit on aur hands and play no part in this election. Al parties need workers to help with the rnanv details of electioneering for their favo-ite candidates. Outsiders have no iclea of the tremnendous amnount aofvoî-k that goes on in party circles through- out a campaign. But it is inteî-esting, fascinating and demnanding, and also rriost impor-tant, and we urge everyone ta join in the current campaign rather than îemaiîîing aloof. with sornep not ex-en bothering ta get out and vote on election day. As somne Of Yau maY know, I ne- casionally grace the B3owm ranville Golf Course with my august presence, ta do sundry chores for which 1 receive an emalument commensurate with my lack of initiative, industry and intelli- gence. Last Thursdav, the eagie-e-ved manager of the Ciub,' spotted me malin- gering, and promptly invited me to place my lily white bands on the handle of a swiri cut mawer about double the size of those dinkv littie thingamajigs that are usualv chivvied around most of the postage stamp sized lawns of Bowmanville, by fetchingly dressed females. Then, he poinited me in the direcc- tion of the roughest bit of 'rough' on the whole blinkin' course. As I bent slightly farward, he applied the toe of his number fine where il wouid do the rnost good, and yelled "sic 'cm."~ Well sir! Between t1 engh toughiiess, and abundance of the grass, plus the bumps and hoilows of the ground which someone must have plowed, and forgot to harrow, plus the apparent dullness of the mowcr's blade, vour humble scribe engaged in a very tiring, frustrating afternoon, \'owing to himself that. before lie cul anY more grass with that mechanical man-killer, it wouid have t<) le sharp- enied. Long before quitting lime, both shouiders feit as though thev had de- vcloped galloping hursitis; the collac boies feit as though swveeniied; the forearms were trcmbiing Just like when 1 pick up mny monthi 'y old age pensin cheque; my legs acted like tlîev\ liad buîg spavins, string hait and bowed tondons.
