ORONO WEEKLY TIMES rù *ed e" 1yMor,;ay at the of P COULD DEVELOF A NEW AWARENESS Political canvassing at area High Schools is taboo according to a recent report in the Port Hope Guide regard- ing comments by Mr. F. Thom, Director of Education for the Counties Board of Education It was suggested by Mr. Thom that a forum of the three candidates could be acceptable. Thés would in our opinion be in accord with the designs of education and could possibly have more meaning than that already on the course of study. Possibly such a program could be instituted which could flot but help bring the election more into scope for the students and some of this may even trickle down to the parents at the dinner table. Mr. Thom is being somewhat vaive, in bis remarks when as head of the school system he was unawgre of the purpose of Mr. Davis's visit to the Port High School. Surely be bas heard of the October 2lst electien and by reading the daily papers Mr Davishas surely found a new interest in igh schools throughout the Province.

M.P., Northumberland - Durham Canada is host this year for the annual meeting of the North At- lantic Assembly Parliamentary Association. About 200 delegates, arrived in Ottawa this week for the week long conference. The Association is composed of Mem- bers of the Parliaments of all NATO countries. It is expected that the United States delegation will be under pressure from Canadaand other NATO countries to modify its ec- onomic policies recently announ- ced by President Nixon. The Americans have sent a high-pow- ered delegation includng Senat- ors Edward Kennedy, Javits and Percy to Ottawa. Canadian delegates wiIl at- tempt to impress the Americans wîth the unfairness of applying the 10% surcharge to Canadian imports, and will also argue that if the U.S.A. continues its policies for any great length of time, it will be leading the world down the path to a trading jungle. Such a situation could develop with snowballing rapidly once one or two nations start to raise trade TaIk ta a Commerce manager. And ask for a-Bankplan loan.

This question was asked tof a number of youth in the above aâge bracket. Their answers are below. DONNIE ALLEN, 18, 'grade 13 student, Clarke H-igh School- Yes, 1 would say the majority will vote. They are very inter- ested, he said, and many hold strong opinions in the areas of education, pollution and the like. ALLEN WALKER, 20, Locksmith working in Toronto. Allen will not likely vote, he said. Travel- ling back and -forth each 'day to Toronto did not give hlm time. This fact, he said, had taken hlm out of touch with his former friends. He feit that some might vote, maybe 50%/. He said he knew two of the candidates seeking office. JANET DUVALL, 19, Student at Oshawa Business College- "I definitely will vote", and she thinks most others 18 to 20 will do likewise. She said they had been given the privillege and should- now accept t he respons- ibility. We cannot complain if we don't vote, she said.

Janet also feit there was considerable interest by Uni- versity students who have been talking about signing up to vote. NANCY FORRESTER, 19, Secre- *tary, Bata International- I will flot likely vote. "I don't lcnow what they stand for and could not make a judgement. Although she reads the daily paper every day, she does not read about the election. Many in her office in Toronto are flot voting, she said, because they don't know any more than I. "They don't even know who's running", she said. MARILYN MORTON, 18, grade 13 student, Clarke High School1 -"Yes, I wili vote." She said she hiadn't looked at it too closely yet but would know more by the time the eleetion is held. She said the election was some- times discussed by her class- mates.

One of the great concerns we have in Ottawa is that the Amer- icans may, take countervaîling action against Canada in view of the new legisiation to assist em- ployment in Canadian industries bit by the American surtax. if the U.S.A. takes such measures, they would hav e the effeet of re- storing the Canadian industries to the saine competîtive disad- vantage as existed before the new legisiation, and it could retaliatoryV action and one could force Canada into some sort of xight ail end. Certainly, the Amn- flot hazard a guess as to where it enÎcan attitude and policies cre- ate a very serious situati- for Canada.
