With the issue of the writs for the 35th federal general election, Elections Elections Canada staff across Canada-are bustling with activity, mobilizing the more than 150,000 workers in 295 electoral districts that will be needed to ensure that more than 18.4 million Canadian voters will be able to cast their ballots on October 25,1993. "Staff here in Ottawa along with the returning officers in each of the 295 electoral districts in the country are working to open Elections Canada Canada offices in each riding," said Mr. Jean-Pierre Kingsley, the Chief Electoral Electoral Officer of Canada.

In the rest of Canada, the federal voters list prepared prepared for last year's federal referendum referendum will be re-used and revised by more than 4,500 revising agents and 2,300 revising officers. These positions positions will be filled from names supplied supplied to the returning officer by the political parties whose candidates placed first and second in the riding at the last election. "In addition to the uniqueness of running the election with two different different scenarios, recent amendments to the Canada Elections Act mean there will be many new systems and procedures procedures in place at this election, like the special mail-in ballot, mail-in registration registration and the extension of the revision revision period," Mr. Kingsley added.

However, the writing is imaginative, the plot thickens, as they say, and I did find myself reading it through to the surprising end. The story centers around a stone house in Connecticut where the various and somehow estranged members of the family are 'Home for Christmas'. A wild storm isolates the house. Greed and anger over a recent will fuel the fire; and a dead Aunt Clara shadows the proceedings, bringing to bear the noted spirituality so evident in most of the works of Taylor Caldwell.
