Candidate "I would rather produce some- thing not promised than promise something and not be able to pro- duce it," John Pratt, Progressive- Conservative candidate for North- umberland-Durham in the June 25 election said recently to several hundred people at the Cobourg pavilion. Stressing that financial prob- lems rather than national unity were the most important issues in the election, Mr. Pratt said the government has got to stop tell- ing us they can spend our money better than we can. "National unity is not the prob- lem people make it out to be," the candidate said. "English- speaking Canadians and French- speaking Canadians want to live their lives as English or French speaking Canadians. We don't need to be autocratic and put chips on shoulders. We can settle these matters in a democratie way around a conference table."

Regrading at the Kirby School, which is now necessary to bring the grade line down in line with the school, was estimated to cost the Board a sum of $1100.00. The grade of the yard is now well a- bove the building which was set according to the plans and spec- ifications. The yard will have to be lowered some four feet. Mr. Best stated that he had always been under the impression that two steps were going to be neces- sary to go up to the school. These steps going up have now turned into steps going down.
