tnnihe Eer -doff eofie pbiatiffl MtStreet, oreaQ Who cares? In the last municipal and school board election less than haif the residents of the Town of Newcastle cared enough to take the time to spend a few moments at the poils to select those who carried on municipal, school board and hydro af- fairs in this community for a period of three years spending millions upon millions of taxpayer's money. It's almost hard to believe that a majority care so littie for the education of our children, the facilities of our roads, water supply, recreation, heritage, environment, street lighting, garbage and even the supply of hydro energy, that % they pass up the opportunity to take part in the selection and electing of those who conduct these affairs in the înterest of 4the general public. 'There is a wide choice of candidates for most offices this time around and one could expect some close races. A few extra votes could be the determination of a win or lose. t may be your ballot that turns the tide. Judging from the candidates' meeting in Bowmanville on Monday evening of this week there are somne fine can- didates who do warrant support from the general public. Your opinion expressedi through the procedure of your ballots may be the edge those candidates need. Thse returning officer is asking that you Vote early and don't forget the poils are open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., on Tuesday, November 12th. Our choice - Timbreli Watching the televised debate between the three can- didates seeking election to the leadership of the Ontario Pro- gressive Conservative this corner would have to give the nod to Timbreil over that of ither Grossman or Pope. Timbreli gave the best opening and closing address, was more specific, more creative in his approach to some problemns and appeared to be one that could gain the confidence of al the people of this province. He made us feel comfortable. Letter to Editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR To Tise People of Orono: 24-Hour lobby service at your local post office is a privileged service enjoyed in few localities.

I told you in August l4th news that in 1885 my uncle Tom Cooney was taking twenty bags of flour on his wagon from Qu'Appelle on the C.P.R. to Prince Albert for the Mounted Police when he was captured along with his neighbour, tise others fi- cd. Here is another account of the capture of Donald McLean of Craven, Saskat- chewan. He said their lives were saved by thse interven- tion of the Metis Who were with the war party. We werc freighting food supplies for the army from Regina to Batoche--a wagon train of thirty teams - twenty ox teamis and ten'horse teams - when the Indians surprised us, about two thousand of them, with their squaws and chiidren. Ten of us got away (those who had horses cut the harness with their knives, and rode off, but those of us who had oxen had no choice). We had drawn our wagons into a circle on sighiting the Indians, and we put thse ammunition down gopher-holes. A young friend of mine who had a good black team gave me thse reins of one of the horses, and urgcd me to escape with him, but 1 had been the mneans of persuading two boys from mniy neighbourhood to join the expedition, and it didn't seemi right to leave them. While 1 was tryîng to decide someone cIsc took advantage of tise ex- tra horse. The Indians ioaded us al Riel's forces for a con- ference. After they hiad camiped and caten that eventing tise braves ail gathered about a large campfire for a pow-wow. t happened that a Frenchs haîf- breed sat next to me, so I ask- cd him what they were talking about, knowing he could speak a few words of Englisis. "He decide whether to kilI you now or take you to Riel" was the answer - none too reassuring! After a while a very long pipe was gotten out, filled with kinnikinick and tobacco, and passed' around the circie, cacis taking a puff. This was a sign that tisey had decided in our favour, obeying Riel's orders to bring prisoners to him. We were crowded into a black, dirty teepee for tise night, packed so closely that onily standing was possible. Ail nîght they kept up a cons- tant stamping and scuffling outside the tent, and at fre- quent intervals thse flap was lifted and we were carefully counted. Weil for us that no one attempted escape. The next morning we were ioaded as before excepting that one young feliow was held out. We worried over what hiad happened to him al. day, but at night learned he had been chosen to drive a wagon ioad of squaws and chîldren, as the Indians found it hiard to maniage tise teamn. Tise next day an incident took place which almost caused trouble for me and this young man. Tise team hadi halted and he motioned me to join him on his wagon as he was lonesome. I knew then they would not approve but risked it and ail went well until we had to cross a slough at tise bottom of a hili. The train did not make detours but went straight through such obstacles. Our wagon was very heavily loaded with the squaws and children, and the team could not hold it back or stop on a grade, so down we started when our turn came, going faster as the wagon gained momentum. Suddenly we reaiized that directly in our path was a slow mioving cart ioaded with a half-breed and his family. It looked as if the squaws, breed, and ourselves would crash, but the driver steered pas't tlicem just bar Cly rxsn the cart. Whcn vwe finally sto~ wc' wcre the centre of a'ýttij' angry mob, for they. believed we had donc it on purpose, and 1 was very glad to get back to the rcst of the party without punishment. The supplies, thirty wagon- loads, lastcd thc party about ten days. One day a squaw rode up and wcnt through mnY pockets. She took my watch and twenty-five dollars, laughing ail the time. We werc finally released unharmed, escortcd part of our way by a party of mnounted Indians, and very glad to get to our post unharmed. 1 nieyer got back my watch and twcnty-fivc dollars, though.
