I. ~ PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1974, WHITBY FRE E PUESS Election Day is July 8th, a few short weeks away. fT( date al appears quiet in (bis arca. Oniy anc ail candidates meeting. It seems that no ane is interested in what wili happen on July 8th. The impression we receive is that saine candidates aren't warried whether they are elected or not. For that niatter anc Party lias waited until fôur weeks before that fà tefùi day ta norninate a banner carrier in the Whitby-Os/îawa Riding. The boundaries for thus Riding are fron Cochrane Street, Whitby to the eastern boundary of Oshawa, which includes ail of the City of Oshawa and a good portion af Whitby Town. Take note; Whitby residents and voters are in two Ridings; Thte Oshawa- Wlitby Riding and the Ontario Riding which. means there are two sets of candidates in thùi area for the electors in titis district. Watch your'boundaries fellows! How can ane persan meet mare titan 100,000 peopie in that short period of tine; four weeks? How can one persan or even his workers go around teliing everyone in ane particular area t/te'size of thte Oshawa- Whitby Riding about thte "goodies " the Governmen t is going ta hand out. * Goodies?" Is it reaily "goodies" when thte Prme Miniser suggests the way 'o fig/t inflation is for the senior citizens ta, eait peanut butter on day aid bread?

Budget Finalized Whtby council fmnalîzed a $7,668,1 17.69 budget at a meeting last Wednesday thereby increasing local tax payers' dues by abput $70. The new miii rate of 67.8 mils, based on an average assessment of $5,000, is 10.6 mils higher than lasfi year. But Whitby Treasurer F.N. McEwen says it's difficuit ta compare the old county miii rate with the new regional rate because of changing responsibflities. In the urban area the av- erage separate school supp- orter's taxes will increase by about $5 1.

" Nationaily, 32% believe we are faring better than other nations, 50% said the same. and only 9% said not as good. PC FREEZE POLICY CHALLENGED In New Westminster, B.C., NDP Leader David Lewis de- nounced the Tory price and wage controls and Robert Strnfield's proposai ta make the freeze retroactive. "If business increases prices in anticipation of controls, he would make the freeze retroactive, he (Mr. Stanfield) deciares haltîngly. Can't you just imagine millions of Canadian house- wives sending bils ta Tory headquarters detrtanding retroactive overpaynients? What nitrnarish nonsrnsu! Retroactive ta, when, ta what and how?
