We certainly do not have a Utopia in Canada. The government needs imâ€" provement, no matter which party is in power, and only the voter can bring that improvement about by â€" electing better candidates. The turnout at the polls in the past makes one think few people in this country care about government. To have less than 40 per cent of eligible voters put their X‘s on the ballot is a national disgrace. It‘s an old eliche, but ‘Get Out and Vote‘. The elections are not held for the minority of people who want a new flag, better government, or a fair imâ€" migration policy, they are held for evâ€" eryone who lives in Canada, who can east a ballot legally.

He stopped short when it came to Mr. Kennedy‘s warning that to get the economy rolling forâ€" ward again it may well be necessary for the naâ€" tion to tighten its belt.

Election Winners Face A Tough Morning After In the financial field, the new â€" Government, whatever _ its _ political stripe will come fact to What will be the sitâ€" wation if this flow of young people turns into a flood this Fall, a time when the economy may be â€"turning â€" downward once again? During the past sevâ€" eral months, the numâ€" ber of workers without jobs has been steadily declining from the peak levels of the previous year. In part this has been due to a healthy increase in employment with the renewed pickâ€" up in the economy. It has also been due in no small measure to the fact there has â€"been slowdown in the growth of the labor force. The latter is the result of young men and women remaining _ longer _ in school than they had previously. But this is only a temporary postâ€" ponement of the flood of young people born in the postwar years that is expected to pour onto the labor market over the next five years. The future of unemâ€" ployment is no more reâ€" assuring, â€" notwithstandâ€" ing the bright picture painted by the leaders of both the major partâ€" ies of what can be exâ€" pected if they are electâ€" ed to office. If Canada has a defiâ€" cit of this magnitude in what is supposed to be a boom year, what is goâ€" ing to be the position next year, when the business _ cycle again heads into recession? In a year of renewed prosperity, the Governâ€" ment faces a nearâ€"recâ€" ord deficit of $745,000,â€" 000, its sixth in a row, bringing the total to over $3 billion. and even they have only nibbled at the edges of the problem. Specialist in complete wheel alignment, whee! balancing and Steering rorrection. Canada‘s _ secondary industry, made up of a conglomeraton of many small companies fightâ€" ing for a share of a small market against a series of highly efficiâ€" ent giants in other countries, is one of the weakest of all links in the Canadian economy. So far, however, only the most tentative of efforts have been made by business and Governâ€" ment to tackle this farâ€" reaching problem. The reâ€"organization of secâ€" ondary «Canadian indusâ€" try will undoubtedly cause many stran stresses, but in th it will have to be But among financial cireles both at home and abroaqd there is litâ€" tle confidence in the aâ€" bility of the Governâ€" ment to hold the dollar even at that reduced exâ€" change _ rate _ without taking other farâ€"reachâ€" ing > measures. During May alone the Governâ€" ment was foreed to put another $45,000,.000 out of its exchange reserves to further support the dollar. This is a modest amount in itself, but could be an indication of things to come. There is a strong case for believing that all these problems of the dollar deficits and unâ€" employment are only a symptom of the hasic weakness in the Canadâ€" ian economy, its inabilâ€" ity to compete adequaâ€" tely in an increasingly competitive world, Canada‘s _ secondary a vain effort to hold the exchange rate at the level of 95 cents in terms of U.S. currency, the Government early in May was finally forâ€" ced to devalue the rate to 9215 cents and peg it at that Tevel.

Jazz; I like it and I usually spend my Thursday, Friday or Saturday l)_ightu_;_ at a club called The Pirate‘s WHO CAN FIGURE WOMEN? There is a girl wandering about Toronto who is obviously out of her mind. I met her at a party Saturday night. I brought her refreshments, food, cigarettes and more food. I danced with her. I presented her with a great deal of sparkling repartee. I kept her amused for three hours. She said my company enchanted her. I told her she was the prettiest thing between the kitchen and the back door. She said goodbye you nice man .. and went home â€"â€" with her boyfriend. SOMETHING TO DO . .. In the interests of beneâ€" fitting mankind, womenkind, and teenagers, 1 make periodic trips into the helterâ€"skelter of the big city in search of new entertainment. This is Canada, a large country, and a free country. Every chance I get, I will do my best to show how stupid, juvenile, and discouraging racial discrimâ€" ination is. Anyone who refuses to associate with a neighbour because his skin is a different color, his church a strange or different one, or his accent foreign, is missing a great deal in life. Let‘s hope that in this growing area we will judge our new neighbours by their character, personality and friendship. Don‘t let the monster Discrimination prey on our fears or our pride. HECKLERS? Are we just rabblerousers or are we really interested in the elections? Whether a candidate wins his particular riding ballot or not, he is still one of the country‘ leaders for the simple fact he has influenced part of the voting The recent election demonstrations, topped by the insane show of skin by the Doukhobour women, show there are some people who are nearer animals than voters. Why do we put up with this kind of violence directed at responsible, respected citizens? tne simple fact he has influenced part of the voting public. What kind of person slings mud, tomatoes or eggs at a community leader trying to do what he thinks best? How many of these new people living in their new homes will be well received by their neighbours? With the blending of the old and new there is always friction. People have a natural knack of findâ€" ing ‘things wrong‘ with their neighbours. Some comâ€" plaints are justified; most can be ironed out; but some are disgusting. BY THE WAY, I hope some of the readers can get up the energy to grab pen and paper and write me a note now and then. I get lonely when the postman walks past my place without more than a nod. * Sometime, when I am feeling exceptionally lazy, I‘ll probably grab a sheaf of letters and pop them in, in place of this column. I would also like to enlist some unsuspecting people from this area and have them write enough to fill this space; that is, if I can find anyone energetic enough to complain & bit. THISTLETOWN, REXDALE, DowWNsVvIEw, AND WESTON all have new developments springing up. New people, young people, retired people and every kind in between are moving here to live, work, play, and learn. Where is the controversy of the days of yore? What happened to the old knock ‘em down fights newspapermen used to have with the buying public? Maybe there just ain‘t none, (as they say) in Weston, Thistletown or Rexdale. Maybe everyone is well adjusted, sociable, honest and reliable. sn M ce qi ind s e n mc n e pr bring about the kind of Utopia the editor.wanta.

The editor would do much better if he asked you to get out before you vote and check. Listen to the guy whose name is on the pretty sign on the lamppost.
