The PaainSaemn owmaniviiie, August 22, 1973 EIDITORIAL COMMENTQ Wliere are al - s Nomination time for regional and maunicipal governments draws cdoser, it becomes increasingly evident that candidates are either holding back, waiting to see who is going to run, or nmost of them will be entering the race a the last minute, leaving littie timie for campaigning before the October lst election. With the announcement this vveek that Bowmanville's Mayor Ian M. Hlobbs will be running for regional counicil in this ward, the qniy candidate to date for the ,municipal miayor's job is Dariington IReeve Garnet, B. Rickard, almost ensuring imii an acclamation.. To date, no names have been forthcom- ing for either regional or municipal çýouncil in the Darlington ward.

At this stage, it may be too early to begin viewing withi alarm the shortage of candidates, and we can only hope that soon, anyone who is contempiating entering the race for office will make knrowýn his or her intentions. It would indeed be a sad state of affairs if the new regional and municipal governmecnts began their existence without enough local citizens wýith leadership ability to fi the posts.

Getting ready is kind of a pain in the arm, especially if you must have a vaccination, Obtaining a passport sounds easy. Hleck, it's more trouble than getting married or dying. Ail you have to do is fi in a formi. The form is sligbtiy more complicated than your income tax formi. Then, you must find someone who will swear that you are who you say you are. This person is called a guarantor 'and can be practicaliy anyone except your neighbor. Then you must obtain a birth certif ica te. This is fairly simple if you know where you were born. If you don't, or you happened to be born in Zilcb, Yugoslavia, it can be complex. You must have passport photos taken. You can't use an old snapsbot in which you look your best. Passport photos are an old joke. They usually make you look like a zombie. Strangely, ours turned out well. We didn't pose for tbem, because wve knew they'd be grue- some, s0 they came out relaxed. Besi[des passports; and birth certificates, there is a mnyriad of other pother to look after, and you could use a fuli-timre clerk for a week or two. Air tickets, money arrange- m'fents, hotel reservations, and who's going to feed the cat. A travel agent is almost a must in these days, when haif the world seems to be on the move. He or she can smooth a lot of wrinkles and give valuable tips on how to win at least the occasionai round in the game. Many people go to big agencies in the city. My travel agent,. a personable young local chap, couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. (Aside to Bill Mandly: everything, by golly, had better be right, after tha t.) He told me something about air fares that is almost unbelievable. A return ticket to the U.K. can run al the way from a Christmas charter at $187 to a regular flight at $626 (under two weeks) - I shudder to think what a first-class ticket would cost in the latter category. interest'the letter from Mr. Bob Dykstra. The points be made were weil taken. It is high time for al of us to give deep consideration and one heck of "a hoot"' to the growing pace of gov- ernment (Federal, Provin- cial and Municipal> con- trol, in ail its vatrious phases.

Just iooked over the items before we even left the house. Air ticket - $332; passpo;rt photo - $3; passport - $10; birth certificate - $3; limou- sine to airport - $8; Britrail pass - $70. Those are just the basics. Multiply by two if you're a couple. Then there are the ever-present extras: new clothes, expenses to.get to city to get passports, and the inevitable sundries, too numerous to mention, as the auction sale ads put it. That's before you get on the plane. You stili have to eat and sleep for three weeks after you get there. However, I've cut'the whole thing down quite a bit by cancellig our two daily paper deliveries for three weeks. Saved about $6.50 righ.t there.
