suddenly the door burst open tne window swung in and the little o experience in the public service counts george drew alderman mayor provincial party leader three times premier of ontario then leader in the ottawa no other national leader can match this record of public service on all levels of governmental activity of the opposition house of commons george drew more than any other national leader knows that government to remain democratic must remain in the hands of the people as an alderman he concerned himself with the problems of his ward as mayor he worked for a better community as provincial legislator he worked in the interests of the people of his constituency as premier of ontario he gave his native province the 6nest administration in its history george drew has succeeded as an administrator because he believes in teamwork and cooperation on all levels of government j as premier of ontario he held more cabinet meetings and with greater frequency than any government in ontarios history as leader of the official opposition at ottawa he brought new life and energy into the house of commons and a renewed respect for the principle of parlia mentary government progressive conservative candidates give wholehearted support to george drew because they will be members of parliament in fact as- well as in name no longer will members be forced to yield all power to bureaucratic cabinet ministers and ccntralizers and fail to give full representation to their constituencies compare the records of george drew and your progressive conservative candidate with those of other party leaders and candidates your vote on june 27th for your progressive conservative candidate will mean that you will be represented in parliament by a supporter of a progressive

laughter if elmer had not- been so greedy he would have noticed the hose in time they tea sed elmer allthe rest of the day butiiejwas goodnatured and didnt seem to mind breakfast was soon over and everyone helped straighten up the breakfast room before they left for the castle grounds to play games and runracesr they had a three- legged race and a wheelbarrow race as well as many others some of the little sea people got bumps and bruises as you sometimes do on a picnic but everyone was en joying themselves so much they didnt even notice the bumps after they had almost tired them selves out

way of giving him a farewell gift naturally he would come first as he was the only butterfly there wasnt it a nice way of showing their friendship the little sea people had just set tled down for me cake and sea tea that mrs neptune had prepar ed when there was a swirl of foam and right in the middle of it was a great bit eel they knew that mr eel was a menu badtempered fellow and he didnt very

straight toward him before you would wink an eye elmer the octopus reached up one of his long arms and caught mr greedy eel bent him around a post and tied him into a double knot to make double sure he couldnt bet away he tied him into a bow knot on top of the double knot then he calmly rubbed a lit tle water on the knot to keep it tight just as you sometimes do with your shoo laces mr- eel was so furious that he slithered and squirmed this way and that but he couldnt untie himself the little ocean people knew they were safe now and soon the party was in full swing again they had such a wonderful time that they didnt notice that it was getting late father neptune made a very nice speech and said how much they had all njoyed flitts visit he said he hoped flitt would visit them again
