To vote by proxy, the necessary form may be obtained from any Returning Officer. The completed form naming the proxy voter must be certified by the Returning Officer in the electoral dis- trict where the vote is to be cast and it must be presented for certification by the person chosen to act as proxy no later than 7:00 p.m. March 18. After a proxy form is certified by the Returning Officer, it may be exchanged on polling day for a ballot. In proxy voting, the voter names another qualified elector in the electoral district to cast the vote. A qualified elector may act as proxy for more than one relative but only one non- relative. Proxy voting is for those electors who are employed in long-distance transporta- tion; are members of the Canadian Forces on active duty; away from home attending an educational institution; or who are physically incapable, through handicap or illness, from attending a polling place, and have been so certified by a medical doctor. : To be qualified to vote in the general election, a person must be at least 18 Chatterbox (From page 5) The post-war babies created unprecedented demands during each of the cycles. In the sixties, new high schools were built for them which are now sitting vacant. In the late sixties, they created a great demand for university educa- tion, so much so that the provincial government brought about the community college system in Ontario as an alternative. As the post-war babies began to graduate and enter the job market in the first half of the seventies, they did two things: made jobs scarce for each other, and created a high demand for consumer goods when they did finally land their new cars, houses, stereos, etc., etc., etc. But suddenly as the seventies wound down and the post-war babies began to hit age 30, there was not a second wave of university graduates to press the same demands on the economy. Universities today are crying the blues, forced to advertise for students via TV and radio. Intense demand for anything creates shortage of supply which in turn pushes up prices. When the economy cranked up to meet the demand created by the baby boom, everything was fine, but prices went up. Now the economy is still geared up to crank out the same level of supply, but the demand has dropped off for many things. ; As the post-war babies hit their mid thirties, the demand is for such things as medical and legal services, second time around real estate purchases, pension and other forms of long term investments for retirement and so on. And what's frightening is that there are predictions that the post-war babies when they all hit 65 or 70 are going to break the country with the demand for social security in their old age and nursing homes. But 10 or 15 years after that, those nursing homes may be sitting vacant like the schools that were built for them in the 1960's. It's far fetched. But maybe what is really wrong with our economy is that we have failed to plan for the various demand cycles of the post-war baby boom. It is just a theory, but worth thinking about as we wring our hands and point to all kinds of devils as the cause of our problems. before you signit. - WHEN WE PREPARE YOURTAXES WE BACK tax laws, and we double-check your return We'll take your place, because nothing can take the place of good solid service.

Increases that will cost us an additional $733 million on top of present rates. I urge all Canadians, not just Bell's customers to object to these unwarranted 'inflationary increases. Even those who don't have a phone are paying for it in higher prices to business, and increases in municipal, provincial and federal taxes. Write your M.P. in Ottawa - no stamp needed, or the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Com- mission, J.G. Patenaude, Secretary-General, Ottawa, KIA ON2. Karl Marx, the father of communism warned us that capitalism collapses when faced with inflation, high taxes and high unemploy- ment. With less than 19 per cent of the entire world's population living in a free society, every remaining democracy must fight infla- tion by resisting price increases in all sectors of the economy. Sincerely, Dean J. Kelly, Assoc. of Dedicated Canadians, Port Perry, Ontario itorial (From page 4) simply become more destructive, since the mothers and fathers would have to pay the bills. Beaulieu's attitude reinforces the concept that it is parents and not the children who are to blame for many of today's ills. He obviously believes that the parents who would have to shell out for their youngsters' acts of vandalism wouldn't be tough enough to control their own kids. They would patiently sit back and pay the bills for whatever the kids smashed up. Not in our family by golly! enough. Once would be Some parents, however, cannot control the circumstances which create problems in their fami- lies. One contributing factor is the necessity for so many mothers to hold jobs, outside their homes. Children, of necessity, must be left to the care of others and they miss the hour-by-hour discipline which is so important to a growing child. Too much money is also a problem - whether a child has too much for himself or whether he has less than his friends creates another hazard. A strong contributor to the situation is that today's children don't have enough to do. They have too much time on their hands and become bored. Vandalism offers a ready opportunity for excitement and the thrill of risk. Many young people today have never been required to earn the good things in life by their own efforts and therefore have no sense of values. Whether or not we can ever eradicate the sickening disease of vandalism remains to be seen. The old-fashioned family, where mother was the centre of activity and model for strong character and father was the image of fair but stern justice may be gone for all time - but a national bill of something more than $100 million a year for senseless van. dalism is a problem which deserves better solutions than Judge Beaulieu has to offer. -- Wingham Advance Times TERRA STEEL AFFORDABLE BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR FARM AND INDUSTRY MURDOCK R.
