an other in the others Faced with sharply rising prices of gasoline in Ontario the various governments have been wriggling to free themselves from respon sibihty Liberal federal energy minister Donald blamed Conservative Ontario Pre mier William Davis for the large increase claiming the province should have reduced its petroleum tax if it wanted to protect con sumers Mr Davis retaliated by accusing Macdonald of trying lay the blame on someone else s doorstep Then we have Ontario energy minister Darcy McKeough blam ing Saskatchewan premier Allan Blakeney for being behind the increase Canada would have had a crude oil price of per bar rel instead of If it hadn been for s obstinacy in holding out for the higher price said who also got in a good shot at suggest his lips move faster than his mind The Financial Post suggests that out of the squabbling came at least one moment of candor per Imps the best insight into how the present pricing system came about Mr admitted Mr Davis did not understand what oil price level or well head was being discussed In the federal provincial meeting that fixed the 50 price In any event the die has been Motorists are paying any where from five to cents more gasoline Fuel oil costs are climbing and we 11 see the result of the increase in almost everything that involves transportation oil and its by products We wonder does anyone really understand why we have to pay so much more for oil and gasoline It would be interesting to note how uniform the price of gasoline will be across this country The Acton Free Press Wed Make sure you have a vote Do you know for sure if you have a ballot waiting for you in the July general election Unless you check you could be deprived of the right to vote The time to check is now either on the publicly posted list of voters in your neighborhood or on the printed copy of the mailed to each urban elector enumerated last month If your name is on the list you are assured of a vote If it is not on the list or if there is an error in the listing of your name address or occupation it is up to you to do something about it to avoid the risk of losing your vote Procedures differ between pol ling divisions m urban areas and rural centres Those with a popula tion of less than 5000 are rural In rural regions eligible voters missing from preliminary of electors should contact the enumerator who prepared the post ed In urban areas omissions and corrections can be taken care of by calling the returning officer for the electoral district in which you live The telephone information oper ator will help you obtain the of your returning officer This must he done before June when the period of public sittings begins for the revision of lists of electors Urban lists are revised by a re vising officer who is usually the senior district judge or representative appointed by that judge If you are an unregistered elector entitled to vote you may appear before the revising officer June or and apply to have your name put on the official list of voters The hours and address where the sittings for revision are held may be obtained from your return ing officer It is also at the top of the printed preliminary list of vot ers If it is inconvenient to appear before the revising officer you may ask the returning officer to send the two revising agents to your home to obtain the necessary information The preliminary list assembled following enumeration and the statement of changes and additions following revision comprise the of dual of electors Urban resi dents whose name does not appear on that official list will not be lowed to vote In rural polling divisions each enumerator revises his or her pre liminary list Applications for changes lo that list may be made up to June i9 Unlike urban voters the unlisted rural voter is able to vole July by being ouched for by a registered elector However if you wish to take advantage of the June 29 or July 1 advance poll for this election you must be on the official whether you are urban or a rural voter The advance poll is for any qualified voter who for any reason cannot cast their ballot on July Teens face smoke question Teenage smoking is a bummer But there s a bright side too Taking teens as a whole the number who smoke and that means one or more cigarettes per week or one or more per day is still only 15 percent of the teenage population By age 18 however most one third of boys smoke one quarter of girls do These rates stay steady through the college years and don t change too much for adults Results of a recent national Campus Opinion poll show that percent of college students smoke five or more cigar ettes a day But of those who said they do not smoke about one in three reported that they had at one time smoked This is a significant increase from earlier surveys and indicates that a large number of students may be starting to smoke and then quitting The smoking rates are too high of course But the facts are that most teenagers college students and adults are smokers And smokers of all ages are speak ing up for their rights these days It fascinating to find for ex ample that the majority of high schoolers think smoking in public places should be banned by law ex where there are special sec tions to separate smokers There is a growing conscious that smokers violate the rights of smokers who choose not to smoke and instead are forced to breathe second hand smoke OUR READERS WRITE Watch your tax bills Dear Sir In a letter in Press some weeks back whin was quite i furore on tht subject of
