The much talked about TV debate involving the four party leaders Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 'Liberal; Robt. Stanfield, P.C.; mo, Douglas, N.D.P. and Real Caouette, Social Credit, was seen and heard Sunday night. -- It is estimated that the telecast, / reached as many as 15 million people in Canada and United States, however, it wasn't ne- cessarily listened to and viewed by that many. In our opinion, T. C. Douglas, speaking on behalf of the New Democratic Party, made the best impression. A well seas- oned politician, with many years of experience in parlia- mentary debates and public speaking, he took advantage of this opportunity. of facing the nation voters. Without the slightest hesita-- tion Mr. Douglas answered questions put to him, and at no time was he at a loss for words or confused by the many intri- al questions directed to him. ~ Pierre Elliott Trudeau, lead- er of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada, considering his relatively re- cent and hurried rise on the Canadian political scene met - the challenging questions with clear and honest answers. He appeared quite tense during the two hour telecast, however his position was the most diffi- &] cult considering he is the head "4 of the party in power, and a i constant target of attacks from int the other party leaders. Hd Robert Stanfield, leader of i the Progressive Conervative 224 Party, no doubt is a dedicated --- and sincere politician, but his TV image fell short of the other He appeared 44 two candidates. a CE xd i fo 8 a The Great TV. Debate Po You Remember? | nervous, and did not always make his statements and an- swers requested by the panel as clear and concise as Mr. Doug- las and Mr. Trudeau. : When Real Caouette entered the picture about half way through the program, an entire- ly different political personal- ity faced the nation. One thing is sure about Mr, Caouette, he certainly talks and gesticulates with a great deal of enthusiasm, and the debate didn't seem to bother him in the least. Wheth- er he gained or lost support for his party is another question. Where Do You Vote If Working Away - You are living and working temporarily outside the area where you normally live.

How would--you- like to be" 17, spring- time, and sick? Well, my daughter does- n't like it much, either. She's been cooped up in the house for about six weeks, while the sun grows warmer, the grass greener, the leaves leafier, and the juices of 17- year-olds course through their blood- stream. o Mononucleosis. Never heard of it? Neither had I, until it entered our domain. It was as remote as malaria, hepatitis and jungle mouth. - But it seems that every- body I meet has a niece or granddaughter who has had it. These people almost in- variably tell you that it takes about a year to get over it. * Then there are the others, who don't know anything about it( except, and they chortle, it's known 'as The Kissing Disease. | have been told this at least eight times a day since Kim came down with the scourge, and the next person who uses the term, even if it's a sweet, little, old gray-haired. lady, is going to get a punch right in the I'm absolutely certain that my daughter has never kissed anybody in her life except her dear old Mum and Dad.- Well, fairly certain. Picture a 'caged tigress, eyes burning with yearning for a good bite out of some of that life walking by the cage, and you have Xim. Then picture the same tigress toppling over on her side and rolling up her eyes until only the whites are showing, and you also have Kim. It's a. most peculiar business. It seems to occur to those who become run down, physically and emotionally. A lot of col- lege students incur the thing in the Spring, when the pressures are heavy, exams are looming, and they are generally pooped. . Some of my best friends have suggested that Kim was in a weakened condition This is a dirty lie. She put on weight. One of the frustrating things about it is that there's no medication or cure for it, except time and the body's natural resili- ence. I would suggest that, if your body has no natural resilience, if you can't touch or Going against the grain 4 your toes, you're a candidate. Put that in your throat and lump it. Perhaps the worst thing about Kim's condition is that her sleeping schedule is all out of wack. 'She can sleep until 2 p.m, and about nine o'clock at night begins to come alive and pads around the cage until the tiny hours, switching lights on and off, flushing things, and playing records. Gets to sleep at five a.m, and is dead for 12 'hours. However, that's enough about mono, Just wanted to give you the symptoms, in case your kid has it. Normally in Spring, we tip-toe among the tulips. This Spring, we tiptoe around the tigress. : This is not enough. My wife is about to undergo an operation, and even though she hasn't had it yet, she's an expert. She has talked to about 20 women who. have had it, and entertains me with gay little details about overies and uteruses- and stuff daily. Usually at meal hours.
