Voters Have Responsibility
Equal to That of Candidates

Quebee will be the first pro-
vince to nominate a complete fed- | n
eral election slate for any political
Party, with 70 Social Credit cand-
idates now in the running and five
other Pomlnations to be made
shortly, Robert N. Thompson, na-
tional Social "Credit leader told a
nominating convention in that pro-
vince at the weekend.

“This isan outstanding ex-
ample of an electorate eagerly

will go to the polls in deadly car-
est.

“It'is unfortunate that they
have had to gain political wisdom
at their own expense from the ir-
responsible acts of people they
elected in good faith — but I
doubt that they will be fooled
again with empty, sugar-coated
promises,

“Soclal Credit has no quick
cures or short term gimmicks. We

— an
example rhe other provinces would
do well to follow,” Mr. Thompson
said,

“The people of Quebec are in
political turmoil caused by years
of willful mismanagement by the
old-line parties, and this time they

it can”

Mr. Thompson stressed that
voters in the June election have a
responsibility equal to that of the
Political candidates.

+ “Basically, the voter is re-
quired to do three things: choose
a.candidate, choose a policy and
choose a government, Canada’s
future depends largely on his in-
telligent choice. «

“In choosing a candidate, the
vorer must consider the man’s
qualifications just as carefully. as
if he were applying for a job. He
should look for real administrative
ability, honesty, reliability and de-
votion to duty.

“The voter must also select a
policy and must consider that no
matter how pleasant and friendly
a candidate may be, if his stated
Policy will obviously lead to’ con-
tinued unemployment, debt and

bet on the election:ballot.

Dear Sir: ; $

Congratulations to Mr. Stadler
for a long overdue complaint in
his letter to your paper ‘re: the
Robson-Syringa Creek highway.

“The reason for his letter.was

a very near fatal accident. Several
of my neighbours including’ my-
self have taken the liberty of re-
naming it ‘The Death Stretch”
because. it is death to ones’ auto-
mobile, Also, the danger of death
is lurking with everyone that has
the nerve to drive on it.

One Particularly blind corner

has many immense holes on
the lake side that nearly all traf-
fie takes a chance and uses the
wrong side of the road ‘to miss.
them, for’ if they aida ‘and hit
one hole in particular, I’am sure
it would bounce them clear into
the ‘lake.

Twice this. past week I nar-

rowly averted a_ serious head-on
collision on this corner. by head-
ing. right‘ into the ditch.
Granted we do see the odd
making a feeble attempt to
fill a few holes, but then, they are
here today and gone tomorrow.

I would, respectfully suggest
that our government .“that gets
things done” get cracking on this
