Because of these 25 men in the horseshoe disregarding the coroners report they might find themselves someday in the morgue, for the very reasons he has pointed out. Sam Cass the Metro Traffic Dirâ€" ector has claimed Dr. Shulman‘s reâ€" port is misleading and lacking in truth. He is employed by the Metro Council. Although Dr. Shulman‘s posiâ€" tion is not an elected one it is one gained by political favor. The only thing that has kept him there is pubâ€" lic pressure. Dr. Shulman is doing his job, however uncomfortable it may be for the politicians. But it has not been a oneâ€"way street. The politicians have done their utmost to frustrate and antagâ€" onize the man who works just as hard but for half the money. They chop his budgets which are presentâ€" ed with an eye to improving the enâ€" vironment of safety for Metro‘s citâ€" izens. . to the adult world that youth possâ€" esses a sense of humor rich in the human element.

Therefore a great number of people will vote Libâ€" eral thinking that it is the only party that will be able to form a majority government. A vast number of the elecâ€" torate will vote Tory because they are sick and tired of a Liberal regime and they are confident that there are enough other people feeling the same way to put the Conservatives in power. _ _ o It‘s time to make election forecasts. If one waits until juuhlmohcfiondnynummchnodmbonmtd'. accompli whereas at this point it is a brilliant wild guess __ _ And if Mr. Pearson was to fall under an assassin‘s bullet Cache would say: Lib 159, PC 62, NDP 19, RDC 7, SC 6, Indep 2. 2 C o ons Ed an t en race CCR CCM Before I give you the highly scientific psychological thinking behind my totally accurate blind guesses, I will give you the final standings, Liberals 125 (8 short of a majority), PC‘s 98, NDP 21, RDC ( crazy French guys) 9, Social Credit 8, Independent 4. _ J# _ _ y If you watched the Prime Minisfer announce the dis solution of Parliament last week you would most likely think that the standings would remain exactly as they presently are because no one in his r‘i;ht mindk "ould vote ities. The opposition party leaders said the government would not have been defeated in the House, but they neg lected to say that they had all moved motions of nonâ€" confidence and would undoubtedly do so again. If one was to judge the political party by the leader the voters would have a choice of stupidity, senility, socialâ€" ism, underâ€"statements, and crazy ideas. You can put the man to the description! GOOD EXCUSES Pearson‘s excuses for calling an election at this time the Flat Earth Society. ‘There are a large number of factors which could dras tically change the outcome of the election. For instance, if Mr. Diefenbaker was to become disabled in some manâ€" ner or another, and one of the hopeful Tories took over, the Cache world forecast would predict the following out come: PC 182, Lib 47, NDP 15, RDC 8, SC 6, Indep 1. _ _ for any party. Each of the party leaders mumbled absurdâ€" were about as well founded as the arguments put forth by the Flat Earth Society. â€" 9 If it was not for the general sense which Canadians as a whole possess (contrary to what the politicians must believe, judging by the way they treat the public), there would no doubt be approximately 200 independent memâ€" bers elected to the 265 seat House of Comments. _ And then of course there are the fanatics that will vote NDP at any time of the day or night. The RDC vote will come from Quebec where the people are a bit sick ;nd tired of having a bunch of beavers refer to them as rogs. NO DIFFERENCE The vote for independent candidates on a national basis, Cache predicts, will be the greatest in Canada‘s his tory. It is the most fitting way to show contempt for the Ottawa Bungling Corps which toots its own horns for 18 grand a year. _ 8. O â€" . The question facing you the voter, of course, is whether you should vote at all. After all, with the pubâ€" lication of the Cache "neverfail" prediction the die has been cast. Whether you sit at home and watch television all day or whether you go to the polls and vote for the man who can do the least harm in Ottawa is not really going to make the slightest bit of difference, 2o If the moon and its current cycle puts you in the masochistic mood, spend the next two months reading, listening and watching the candidates make asses of themâ€" selves, of you, and Canada. _ _ _ al us It would perhaps be wise to stock up with about 100 cases of brew and get yourself into a gentle stupor until November 9.

That‘s The Way . .. by Frazer Cache your telephone Dr. Parker suggested that numbers be used instead of the names of the 1200 Lowell subscribers, so that subâ€" stitute operators, if they were needed, could learn to operate the exchange as quickly and easily as possible. manager Everybody knows that measles bring spots, but how many people know that measles brought the first tele phone numbers into use? Way back in 1879, when a measles epidemic hit the town of Lowell, Massachusetts, a local physician named Dr. Moses Greely Parker realized that if the town‘s four operators came down with the measles, telephone service would come to a halt. We‘re not told whether or not the regular operators ever did come down with the measles, but we do know that numbers have been a very important part of teleâ€" phone service ever since! THE DIRECTORY AND THE TELEPHONE Early day telephone directoriee were usually just lists of people in town‘ who had telephone service, with an explanation of how to crank the phone to get the operator‘s attention. But not anymore! The first few pages in today‘s phone bcoks are filled with lots of useful information: numbers to call in emergencies, for telephone repair service, for assistance on calls, and to order new services or changes. They give instructions for speeding overhearing the lad‘s side of the conversation, and it was a model o{ smooth salesmanship. and it was ‘"Dr. Jones? Doctor, do you need a hardworking boy to take care of your lawn? Oh, you already have a boy. Is he good .... I mean does he really know his job? Are you satisfied with his work? You are? OK then .... thanks anyway." Heres a little story that should warm the heart of any Weston area businessmen: store to use the pay phone.

"I was just emf.. up on myself!" your Long Distance calls, and a list of Area Codes. These ‘"howâ€"to" pages are there to help you get top value from your telephone service.
