tinuing reminder of a very great aspect of Canadas and Georgetowns history Continuing which means 365 days a year To let our responsibility lapse neglecting the proper maintenance or Remembrance Park

Sheraton In Toronto On display were more than SO exhibits set up by psychics selling their wares and presenting lectures on their various specialties Klrllan photographers who took photos of auras not visible to the naked of course youre a psychicwere there Those who didnt photograph auras offered to paint one for you In various shades of bright pastels One chap standing beside me was looking through a sketch book rather sceptically when the man running tho booth said Please those drawings are originals you Just dont realize what you are Unfortunately I cant say that I appreciated their artistic value any more than the chap beside me and we both moved on simultaneously One chap appeared to have mastered the techniques of Hindu yoga as he lay on a bed of nails and Invited people from the audience to step up and walk or Jump on him Young people from the Foundation Church of the Millennium each wearing a large distinctive medallion offered to tell me about my put life before I was reborn I declined and moved on Many strange eights In the manner of dress of both the exhibitors and the visitors made for a colourful carnival atmosphere One lady had flaming red hair and was dressed In a beautiful long black robe and matching cape with a large design of In glitter in the centre of he outfit you remember from the old Bewitched TV series you have a good idea of what she looked like offered to answer the questions of the real you by handwriting analysis first step In understanding yourself For the more there was a solidstate device called a thought galvanic skin response meter

confided she come to have a reading done by an excellent psychic from India who might be referred to as a psychics psychic They had a Readers How where for the small sum of you could take your choice and be seen by various palmists otologists readers card readers who use a regular deck of cards or psychics I chose a tarot reader The reading done by a man who was about SO It was surprisingly accurate I was surprised by the length of time each reader spent with an individual about minute each In the carnival atmosphere with strong smells of Incense and strange health foods mystics and mediums and gadgets supported by respected members of the various medical professions one got the feeling of percent ballyhoo The remaining 19 percent gave food for thought Wishing you a good week filled with negative Ions and may ail your trances be happy ones Queens Park Commentary Davis Lewis and Nixon Out for the top Tomorrow will be a big day In the lives or William Davis Robert Nixon and Stephen Lewis By tho end of the evening one of these three a 49yearold lawyer 51yearold and old former teacher but malrily politician will have tho top Job in the province and second biggest In Canada He will be premier of Ontario And the other two will be licking their wounds Just what is ho public choice What about these three men Premier Lack Foresight Davis we know the most about There has been a chance to Judge bim In four years In office Out of this experience the outstanding Impression is that In the present premier we are dealing with a complex man Bill Davis Is on Innate politician but also a dedicated servant of public He has been mixed up In politics since his early teens and knows all the oldtime tricks yet at the same time he his big attraction in public llfjo Is to serve pcoplo and there is good reason to belle vo this The problem is to know when he Is being the politician and when the dedicated public servant As a premier Davis has shown some boldness His land speculation tax was an Innovative and somewhat daring step as one example Ho also has been able to choose men well His cabinets have been better than average And he has shown some Imagination The rapid transit scheme was Imaginative even If It didnt work But then there must be question of his capacity as an administrator His govern ment has always seemed to be catching up to problems Meeting them at the last moment It was not at oil alert to industrial pollution for example until forced Into It by the op position He has shown a lack of foresight Again can be cited The evidence would Indicate not enough early Investigation and thought was given to this Or there Is the case of Torontos Spadlna expressway which he cancelled on the eve of election and reinstated on the eve of this one While he has picked good men for his cabinet and with a number of them he has been instrumental in having hem run In the first place there is question about his choice of other advisers He seems to bo impressed by labels and perhaps Influenced more by who a man Is than what he is Finally there Is the question of money When ho was education minister you had to feel he was not overly moneyconscious He pushed through most expensive programs community colleges Tor without ap parent regard for spending And ho still carried this stamp in his early days as premier His trips on government planes to Vermont his cottage There been Indications he now Is more conscious of this But still spending is one of the major criticisms of his government One Men Band Bob Nixon also Is complex or perhaps It might bo a class him as a con tradiction Ho also grew up In politics his father eventually premier for a short term having held a record of over years in the legislature the second longest span In history Just what his main drive is in aiming for ton office has never been too clear Ho has shown various teals but no overriding cause for his ambition to lead ho It could be to fulfill a fate which ho feels has been ordained for him Nixon is more downtoearth than Davis and he has other strong points He Is economyminded He docs believe In the legislature He would make It a stronger representative body And he would curb the mandarism In the civil service which sees the op echelon having much too much of a say in running Ihe province and lower levels more conscious of the fact that their Job is to servo public His belief are strong He genuinely Is convinced that Ontario is not getting good government And he wouldnt back down or delay before tough But then he Is quick on the trigger He came nut against tho land speculation lax program when asked a questioned developer And this la good policy even if the legislation is not perfect And there Is evidence he doesnt think through to consequences He would go overboard in giving autonomy municipal councils Yet ho also wants hull local councils have been the biggest block In getting quick housing Also he reversed himself when became out in favor of Toronto Island residents which was directly against policy of Metro Toronto council Then there are a couple of personal One Is that he is a stubborn man to the point of obstinacy Some of his own party are afraid that If he were premier he would be tempted to run a oneman show Also he has left suspicion that ho wants office so much he Is resorting to opportunism Finally there is the question of money With him as with Davis there wouldnt be Ihoqucstion of extravagance But there la the question abetted by various misatatcments he has made in tho campaign of his capacity Io finance and spending JIMIIant HulT With Stephen Lewis here Is not the question complexity It is not a Ontario to consider all sides of a question It essentially only con siders doing good Particularly it doesnt give much thought the business and economic aspects of society even though they provide fuel which makes it run It trip without worrying where gas Its going to come from This leads to simplicity of decision which of course leads to simplicity of thought and motivation as against complexity Which mokes life cosier for Lewis He is a man causes and though these arc un doubtedly good overall the perspective of he and his party on them is onesided In other words he is prejudiced and being so how can In seriousness grant him on assessment as a leader of the province He is a man of tremendous ability As premier ho would be very forceful In getting done those things he wonted to get done But on the way what would ha do to the economy and ho province He Is a brilliant man Tho pity Is that he Isnt a rounded one So that in capsule form is your choice or Thursday least as seen through one set of eyes Much of It is negative Well as it hap pens Ihere Is much of the negative In these three men who ore runclng for our top office Which could be one reason why polls show Mich an extremely largo undecided vote in tills election
