AREA For Bold 72 its easy to look at things that way but it isnt right Whether elected for one year or for one month anymunlclpsl council has the power to introduce changes which could radicallyialler the character of city In our case there was enough range of thought among the candidates to implement sweeping changes But who cared Well just look around you If there are three people in the room

delivered and sharp within it limits and seldom shown vision in employment for example we hear about jobs jobs iobs and little about the longdixlancc changes in employment pal tcrns and the fourvdny week and other relevant themes in labor we hear about strike break ers and Injunctions and shut downs but seldom uny discus sion at the basic quulibu oi the need for new approaches and new climate In labormanage mcnt relations The questions that are discuss ed are important enough at course and certainly should be brought up in the house but generally there is little depth ONLY MISS PmlAN This
