Entre CERES A oR os Liberal leader, PSRTQ PERRY All Worthy Your Vote With the election less than a week away, and the campaign running at its heaviest, it seems to us that the weeks prior to this election has been the most colourful and busy campaign ever held. The three main candidates, and leaders of their respective parties, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Liberal, Robert Stanfield, P.C., and T. C. Douglas, N.D. P. have all been waging a vigorous and fair campaign. Unfortunately there are a few "sick" people in this coun- try who will go to the extreme, and use any type of weapon in order to destroy some idea or person not in agreement with their own thinking. We are naturally referring to the hate campaign. conducted against the present Prime Min- ister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and as some may think, we are not waging a campaign for the However in our opinion, this type of "litera- ture" must be fought and con- demned to the very limit. It would not matter which person or candidate it was directed against--one cannot let danger- ous propaganda material like this go unmentioned. No doubt there are some people hysterical enough to be- lieve such trash, but we can surely count on the large majority of the population to "use intelligence in this matter and. still vote for the person of. their choice. We at the Star have never campaigned for one particular party or candidate. No doubt, if we did choose one party, and became a wholehearted supp- orter and voice of one of the three major parties, it would "definately be welcomed by the - What about party we chose. the other two political factions who did not receive the same support? We believe this news- paper through continued cam- paigning for a chosen party 2ould become too orient a a campaign media, and could very well sway some voters, and consequently this would be unfair to the other two parties who did not receive the same backing from a newspaper.

The men you are casting the ballots for are Clark Muirhead, P.C.; Norm Cafik, Liberal and Robert Wing, N.D.P. -- BE SURE TO VOTE FOR ONE OF THEM.

Well, this year, it was even farcier than usual, around our place. - It all started with a couple of birdies tying to kill two birds with one stone. My birthday arrived this year on a Sun- day in June, and my wife and daughter were delighted to realize that it was also Father's Day, Usually, I do pretty well in June. First comes the birthday present, with cards and love and a pair of rubber waders, or something romantic like that, which I've been hinting about for a month, and which goes on my bill at the sports shop. 'Then comes Father's Day not long after, and the whole process is repeated, cards, love, a whiff of respect and some golf balls or other sentimental token which . . (see previous paragraph.) I admit that it is a lot of nuisance for the family, but damit, there should be one month in the year when a chap is compensated for growing older by pick- ing up some loot he needs. This year, the girls had it all figured out. They could avoid half of that sloppy nonsence of mucking about with cards, paper and ribbon, and trying to be decent to me until at least noon, and save money on the deal. Well, I thought I'd go along with it, even though I knew I was being had. I not-only had a bath, but went to church. This tied in perfectly with the whole theme, that it was not only birthday but also Father's Day. Spurred by all the money she was sav- ing, my wife even remembered to get her own father off a card and gift, a little late 51?
