^ Orono Weekly limes. Wednesday. October 25.2000- 17 Places I've Politicians by Clifford Francis Politicians are an honest lot. Are they not? I'm not really sure. I am thinking of throwing my hat In the ring for Federal politics. First, I would like to tell a story about a man I met years ago. I was Working at an Esso gas station south of Orono near the Clarke High School. I was in the employ of Fred Graham, a fine man that lived at Kirby. One evening I was sitting at the station and I saw a car slow down and pull off the road just south of the station. station. A young man got out and ran across the road into the washroom. A few minutes minutes later he emerged and came into the garage. I was quite pleased. Here was the first robber I had ever seen with a bandanna around his face and a gun in his hand. He announced it was a hold up and he wanted the money out of the till. I asked him if he had ever robbed anybody before and he said no. I asked him if the gun was loaded and he said yes. I told him it was an awful small gun and to make sure it was loaded. While he was checking the gun I seized the gun with one hand and pulled down his mask with the other hand. I had caught a robber. He was far more scared than I was. He was a local lad that I knew quite well. Why would you try and rob me? I asked. He told me his story. He had no Job. His girl friend was PUTYOUR HEART INTO HALLOWEEN? Your support will help provide clean water, health care, education and nutrition. Embrace the children of the world.

I told him he should have borrowed his father-in-laws shotgun that he was going to use for the wedding instead of that little pistol. The robber robber agreed. I sort of liked the poor little little bugger and felt sorry for him. He was sad and scared and I ended up loaning him enough money for rent, a couple of rings and a bit of honeymoon. I also knew someone who knew someone and they got him a job in Bowmanvfile. He went on to become an upstanding citizen who moved up in the company and moved to a town in western western Ontario when the company company expanded. He dabbled in local politics politics there and a few years ago became Mayor. He became a perfect politician that just needed a break. Yes, he repayed me. I was thinking about running running for Mayor but I missed the nomination deadline. That was just about the time I was struck down with my illness. My platform was going to be that I agreed with everyone everyone and promise everybody everything. Also, to have stop lights in Orono. I had even picked the colours. • Now, I am seriously thinking thinking about getting into Federal politics. I would sure like to have an apartment in Ottawa that they provide and one of those black cars that they drive you around in.
