commendable cleanup fortunate area the ice is still with us as we write this comment on monday but there appears to be an end in sight while the town and area has certainly suffered ihe ravages of the ihree ice storms ww have been more fortunate than many of our- northern neighbors indeed when we hear reports of elec irfcity off for days dozens of homes with out heat and hundreds of telephones out of order we can be extreme thankful while we re being thankful though we do want to take our hats off to the hydro telephone and municipal employees who have been putting in many hours to repair or maintain the very necessary services lack of hydro can be very frustrating as well as uncomfortable last thursday for instance the pages of the free press were ready to run but an ill timed hydro inter ruption stalled the actual printing we were ihanlcful lo see the hydro flicker on again without any serious delay in the weekly pub heat ion dinners have been interrupted heat has been eliminated in some xases but so far the interruptions have not been as serious in th s town as further north perhaps we can say we live in a part of thecountry blessed bythfct tieerno be south of the heavy snow belt we hesi tate to male too big an issue of this though with the winter still far from completion naturally it is hoped there will be some relief from the icing condition to allow work men to get serv ces back to normal not only that they deserve a little more sleep and perhaps a few days off fixing wires or clear mg snow from streets can be very chill ng work incidentally in these days of rush and run there is no doubt a cup of coffee for pole crews working m your area would be appreciated hats off to those who are work ng round the clock to keep us in business and comfortable at home due long ago we don t look on the planned granting oflftb vote 10 the indians as so7iibttiliigabuuf which we should crow actually it should have been done ong ago first word of the plan to grant the vote to indians without requiring them to waive their treaty rights was in the speech from the throne as the law now stands an indian has to waive his rights as an indian to vote in a federal election they can vote in provincial elections without such a waiver but of course many believe that if theydo they would lose their right naturally the plan meets mixed reactions e p garlow ch ef councillor of the six na tions elected council wh ch represents 7 500 indiansthe largest band in canada terms the announcement a happy message for our people out in alberta the leader of the 18 500 indians said they were absolutely opposed to gett ng the vote they want no change t i t ind legi af presentation to the dominion government of a brief how being prepared he expressed concern that t the present time indians do not know what extension of the vote implies manitoba indian leaders greeted the an nouncement with mixed reactions all cautiously anxious to know that the vote does hot deprive them of their treaty rights naturally such an announcement is likely to cause some concern until it is made par ticularly clear the throne speech announce ment does not spell out the details it is not meant to without resort ng to flights of imagery portraying these as descendants of the pioneers of the country we do nh nk there should be an early grant ng of the federal vote to the indians without impairment of their treaty rights the good oldgays back in 1910 taken from iheuwe of the free frew thursday januar j7 1910 frank smith who was so wv erely scafded when he slipped into
