Another candidate whose prosâ€" pects appear hopeless is Mike Starr. the former PC labor miniâ€" ster from Oshawa, Ontario. But themost interesting prosâ€" pects have not, at time of writâ€" ing. even announced their candiâ€" dacy. Foremost of these is Donald Fiemming, the former finance minister who still has a big folâ€" lwing in Toronto, where he used &0 represent the seat now held by A man who appears to be in the race solely for the exercise, without much real chance of makâ€" ing a dent on the party faithful, is Senator Wallace McCutcheon, another Tory Establishment figâ€" vre. He was brought into the cabâ€" met by Mr. Dicfenbaker in the hecetie days of 1962 when, still Prime Minister, Diefenbak r was desperately trying to pick up Bay St. support. Fulton, who served as justice minister and then dropped out of federal politics after the 1963 Conâ€" servative defeat, has a smatterâ€" mg of support all across Canada. He can thus be said to be genuineâ€" ly a national candidate for the PC leadership. His strength in BC. is solid, but it is more than talanced by support from the prairies. central Canada and the Maritimes. But it is still unclear whether Mr. Diefenbaker will dramaticalâ€" ly step down on the eve of the convention and thus try to inâ€" fluence its choice, or whether he will hope to win another term as a result of the antiâ€"Diefenbaker vote being split among several candidates. If Mr. Hamilton will be the chosce of the West, it is becomâ€" mg increasingly clear that former trade manister George Hees, who gave up his job as head of the Montreal Stock Exchange to go back into Parliament, is the favâ€" orite son of Ontario and Quebec. Hees, who possesses a certain air of glamor which passes for youthful enthusiasm in some cirâ€" cles, is undoubtedly the choice of the Eastern Tory establishment. In the early jockeying for deleâ€" gate support, Hees is believed to be running neckâ€"andâ€"neck with BC.‘s Davie Fulton, another exâ€" cabimet minister of the Dicefenâ€" baker years. It is this bloc which John Dieâ€" fenbaker still regards as reactionâ€" ary, and as unfit to lead the Proâ€" pressive Conservative party as the kind of people‘s party which he made of the old Tory big busiâ€" pressâ€"oriented machine. Mr. Hamilton, the clever oneâ€" time agriculture minister of: the Diefenbaker government â€" he enâ€" gineered Canada‘s first big wheat sales to Communist China â€" may be expected to pick up votes from Western Canadian Conservatives when the party goes into its leaâ€" dership convention at Toronto in September. Does Alvin Hamilton‘s decision to run for the Progressive Conâ€" servative leadership mean that old warhorse John Diefenbaker has at last decided to step down? Or is it merely a sizn of further frustration among the Diefenâ€" baker partisans at his failure to announce his intentions? 4 The Waterico Chronicie, Wednesday, June 14, 1967 ~ A division of Baulk Publishers Ttd.

A moderate offering of replaceâ€" ment pigs sold steady. Thus the men who would seem to be the most obvious choices for the Conservative leadership appear to have dealt themselves out of the leadership game. â€" In similar vein, Ontario preâ€" mier John Robarts has apparently made good on his disclaimers of interest in the PC leadership. He could have staged a spring elecâ€" tion, won a comfortable victory, and then gone to the convention as the leader of the biggest bloc of votes in the party. Instead, he has chosen to stay in Toronto and work on his pet project, an alâ€" Canada Confederation of Tomorâ€" row Conference which hopetully would bring together politicians from Ottawa as well as all provincial governments. Other interesting cts are Premier Robert danlield, who won a smashing reâ€"election vicâ€" tory in Nova Scotia, and Manito ba‘s Premier Duff Roblin, who could have had the Conservative leadership on a platter had he gone along with Dief in the 1965 election. Instead, he chose to reâ€" main in Manitoba and the bilinâ€" gual Roblin‘s influence on the naâ€" tional scene has been declining ever since. 4 Fiemming quit politics in the wake of a family tragedy, but is now being wooed by increasing numbers of Conservatives. Liberal finance minister Mitchell Toronto Telegram News Service It is fun to watch the bunnies. The large and older ones seem The wolves came next, and I felt sorry for them being caged in so small a place, but soon they will be moved in their new pen which will give them more freedom. Next came Reddy Fox. such a cute little fellow. This remindâ€" ed me of some years ago secing a fur around a woman‘s shouldâ€" er. The fur was complete with head, paws and tail. Imagine this poor animal had to give up his life so some woman could have something around her shoulders. I then went to see Rascal (the Racoon) and asked him if he would like a peppermint which I held between my fingers up to the cage. He started to lick it and with his small paws scratchâ€" ed to get it, which meant he liked it. I broke it into small pieces and gave it to him. He asked me for more so I gave him one more before 1 left. By the way, if you love animals there is a book at the Library, called Rascal, "a story of a pet Racoon" I know you will enjoy reading it again. First I visited the deer. They seemed glad to see me, so I askâ€" ed them how they faired the winter. They told me they had stored their winter furs and put on their summer clothes. They looked straight at me with such a sad face, I wondered how some men can shoot them and call it sport. I would not dare put into print what my thoughts are of these men. I then kept on going up King St. but nothing new happened so I went back to the Square, got into my car and drove to see my friends in the Park. When I reached the corner of King and Erb Streets I noticed five men sitting on two benches facing Erb Street. I said to them, how can you sit here with all the noise from trucks and cars and inhale all the fumes. I said these benches were put here for people who want to commit suiâ€" cide and said I am not ready for that and walked away. a young lady wheeling a baby carriage. passed me. I took specâ€" ial notice of her skirt which measured about twelve inches from the waistline to the hem. The distance from the hem to the sidewalk was about thirty inches. I could not help but adâ€" mire this skirt as it was made of such a beautiful material. 1 can see. First of all I crawled out of bed. You say "this is nothâ€" ing to blow about". Well you know there are many who would give almost anything to be able to crawl out of bed. Then to stay alive I ate some breakfast and after a shave I got into my car and started for the Square and Chronicle office. The sun was shinning so nice I did not stay in the office very long and startâ€" ed to walk up King Street, when By FRED SHINN Last night I said: Tomorrow I will nose around to see what THE MOSES SPRINGER Park swimming pool is shaping up as workmen rush to complete the pool by August 1. The swimming pool in Waterleoe Park wil be open for business by the weekend. Waterloo Over The Years Later, on July 3, Antony and Cleopatra, with Christopher Plummer and Zoe Caldwell in the title roles, will be added to the repertory.

The long menths of preparaâ€" tions past, the traditional fanfare sounded this past Monday and one of Shakespeare‘s greatest plays, Richard IHI,. with Alan Bates as Richard, spread across the stage to mark the first perâ€" formance for the 15th season, of the Stratford Festival. It was a glittering open ing with television and radio coverage and an unusually large contingent of newspaper â€" and magazine writers from Canada, the United States and abroad. Stratford Festival Opened 15th Season Mon; June 12 This being Tuesday, at night first I had some bookkeeping Paradise Lake, all spruced up in its Spring dress. There are many nice cottages and being close to town many a man can enjoy the entire summer at his cottage with his family and still be able to attend to his employment in town. I also visited the new lake on Laurel Creek, which is full of water. There are a lot of stumps which will be moved over a period of time, also a lot of landscaping to be done, which likely will take a few years and dollars to complete. Watching the squirrels chasing each other and the little chipâ€" munk sitting on a stump was interesting. How quiet and beautâ€" iful everything seemed being with nature. I happened to think of the poor fellows at King and Erb and wondered if they were still alive. Not much to do in the afterâ€" noon as it is too early for Lawn to be lazy but the young are quite frisky. Years ago I had some pet rabbits and used to sit amongst them. They would crawl on my lap while I brushed their fur, I had a name for each of them such as Snow White, Sleeâ€" py, Dopey, Grumpy, etc. September 6 will be the annual supper meeting to be held at St. Jerome‘s College, University of Waterloo.
