A. ForreMer Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Manager TIME'TO VOTE With a generai election, to be held in Ontario, oniy five days away, the lack of apparent interest shown by the eligibie voters is regrettable. The campaign,, so far, ap- pears to have aroused littie interest and this 'couid refiect in a poor turnout at the polis this coming Tuesday. Lack of interest couid be due to a number of factors. There are no real issues in the election campaign that have caught the fancy of the voter and people in general are enjoying good times.ý Also many have become disen- chanted with politics due, possibiy, to a surge of elections in the last few years. The Conservative Government la 'Ontario had laid their course well during the, past year with legisiation which bas taken the steam out of the oppositions's cam- paign. They have recentiy provided assistance in ýmany fields such as legai aid, housing, medicare and a degree of relief to the municipal tax payer. Aithougli this is al at the cost of the taxpayer it lias, quieted the electorate and deflated the campaign of the opposition. The Conservative Government places its past record before the voters and asks a return to office so that pro- gress may continue within the Province. The Liberals seek support from the voter by promising încreased provincial funds for education and greater relief from municipal tax- ation. Lîkewise the New Democrats promise financial aid to the local levels of government including education and especiaily areas in the north by, greater taxation on our natural resources. The support of the. voter lias, in the past as in this election, beensouglit with apparent give-aways. Ail parties have used this. means in the present election but it lias be- come apparent that the electorate is weii aware that what goes into the right hand pocket, first must come out of the ieft hand pocket. There are, we feel, improvements to be made and one of the greatest is the streamlining of government and its governing acts. In Ontario we are over-governed by a cumbersome arrangement of levels of governments based on a Municipal Act that contains contradiction and is ia itself outdated in a fast moving era. Liasion between departments of the government and the various leveis of governments is a retarding factor for those who have to deal with and through it. Unfortunately the political pressure against change in this area of govern- ment lias hindered any real progress. Whether, we expr ess satisfaction or disatisf action with the presen't government in Ontario, it is everyone's duty on, Tuesday to register their vote at the polis. Make it a date today to be at the polis on Tuesday. Rebekahs lect 1The regular meeting of theý Heather Rebekali Lodge was held Tuesday, October loth.
