Indiscriminate Jogging of timber and pulp logs has robbed the prov- ince of at least 600,000 badly need- ed houses, he told members of the South Essex Liberal Association. His solution, he added, was "in- tegrated logging," which would designate good timber 'for lumber and poorer logs for pulp through a system of exchange between operators.

"We've got lots of advance or- ders," said Mr. Cloutier. "They've been coming in for maqnths. If the first edition is sold, we'll start an- other one immediately."

Main issue of the election: Should the Repliblic of Ireland have multi- party or sing-faction government? Costello, head of the governing coalition for the last three years, is asking for a new mandate. Since Ireland's constitution pro- vides for an involved proportional representation system, tabulation of ballots will -be slow. Final re- sults may not be known until Fri- day, or even later. In all, 296 candidates are runn- ing for 146 Dail seats. Fianna Fail has 118 candidates entered. Costello's group has 77, and is allied with the other parties of the coalition -- Labor, Farmers, and Republicans, as well as with many of the 31 independent candidates. Deputies are elected for five-year terms. There is little difference in the platforms of Fianna Fail and the coalition. Teachers To 2.
