tv cameras and extensive coverage by press and radio canadas new prime minister will be pretty much of an enigma to the public when he takes office in a couple of weeks hence it seems almost like a movie script that pierre elliott trudeau e relative newcomer to politics could be selected to occupy this nations top political pott over men with much better credentials but it hat happened in front of a nationwide audience tome cheering some reluctant but mott awed by the aura of success which hat accompanied trudeau only a few months ago the man who hat become prime minister was a relative unknown to the mast of votert a cabinet minister overshadowed by the presence of prime minister pear- ton and certainly lest quoted than judy lamarth now he hat succeeded to the man tle of macdonald laurler king st laurent diefenbaker and pearson with the nonchalance one could expect from someone accepting the chairmans job on 8 service club project perhaps it wat this restrained low key approach which attracted people from all over the country to climb on a bandwagon which gathered momentum at resistance increased there wat one point in the conven tion where it looked like a coalition of antltrudeau faces might grind this suc cess story to halt but the opportunity was lott in indecision or perhaps it was recognition of the ultimate defeat which awaited challengers for the posi tion it is difficult to make any decision on the suitability of pierre trudeau for the first ministers chair he hasnt the experience of a pearson the evasive- nets of a martin the physical height of a hellyer the good looks of a turner or the financial acumen of a winter what hat he got which attracts some of the belt brains in the country to hit tide there it no doubt part of trudeaut appeal liet in hit personal magnetism charming gallic manners and a touch of the dramatic his casual approach and cool appealed to the younger delegate his deliberate decisions and detached reserve intrigued older people but this isnt the whole answer it he toclallst or swinger saint or tinner conservative or liberal leftist or middleoftheroader who it this pierre trudeau the whole country is waiting to find

less of the petrolla ont advertisertopic one of the papers that runs my column gee i wish i wore a managing editor and could dish off memos that would make people shake in their shoes once upon a time i was a managing editor it meant that 1 was allowed to carry the bags of newspapes to the post office on press day but i never got to write any terse memos the letter reads smiley im getting weary of those columns on education and teenagers talk about adults i distrust teachers who talk about school and students youre better as a nonexpert one more education column and i cancel regards chas whlpp now who could resist answering such a belle lettre i couldnt my dear ur whlpp thank you for your warm and courteous letter it brightened up my whole day but i think you have me confused with column ist richard needham of the globe and mall who preaches rank anarchy day after day exhorting students to drop out sec the world forget about a formal education uve and love im as straight and square as they come as my daughter whoops theres a teen ager will assure you i deplore the use of drink drugs and demonstrations by stud ents i urge them to drop in not out and find out what the mysteries of life are all about now lets have a look youre weary of columns on education and teenagers why were you once bitten or hltten by a teach er when you were a teenager second education takes about half your tan dollars and within a couple of dec ades adults will be outnumbered by adol escents a couple of horrible thoughts but surely worth a column occasionally third my columns about these topics bring more mall than any others the letters are funny poignant sympathetic tragic one lady wrote telling me id help ed her son another poured out her heart over the death of her 16yearold fourth i think a cheek would reveal that these topics are tar from dominating the column id get sick of them tf they did why not let your readers decide all your experts doubt the authenticity of a signature of henry the eighth who wat handier with an ax than the pen after the days news a war drama on evening television constitutes pretty strong entertainment just how does a bride look whan ihes described as radiant like a radiator readers not just a couple of cranks you know i do wrlto about sports the family the church politics the seasons and any thing else that is part of modern ufo noxt you say talk about adults i do but adults are merely toenagors out of their teens ive nothing against them some of my best friends aro adults but how would you like your sister to marry then you say i distrust teachers who talk about school and students i dont distrust managing editors who talk about newspaners or dentists who talk about den tures who would you trust to talk about school and students managing editors plumbers doctors hair dressers again youre better as anonexpert dear mr w that is exactly what i am in the meld of education and any other field you can mention and i think thats why so many other nonexperts read the column theyre a little disillusioned with the glib solutions of the experts and ldontify with the amateur llko mo finally you threaten to cancel unless i comply others havo tried to lean on mo before pollticlansadvortisersproachers the educational establishment to name a few but never before a managing editor maybe i should be nattered but i dont flatter or flatten that easily education school students teenagers there ive said all the dirty words its a free country cancel if you will never mind about my wife and brains and regards without rancour to you dear chas bill smiley is mr whlpp right im olton wrong readers are invited to givo their opinions to him at the paper petrolla ont or me at 301 liufel ave midland ont or to their local
