To the voters: - it bas beeni your oppôrtunity to select the leaders, of your, communIty for the next two. years. The candidates have offered their services, lets hope you. the Whitby * Downtown By John'Roberta Now that election is over, I can write about myseif and the election. At time of writing, the elections haven't been- held, but when you read this,'wel'll ail know the results. But win or lose, the circumstances of campaignlng are the same, The major problemn encountered on the hustings concerns, dogs. Nine-tenths of the. homes I approached cont.ained dogs. Many places had more than one dog. And nearly every one of them tried to get me. I was bitten twice, and once a huge canine followed me around for a hàlf-hôur growling and nipping at my heels. But that didn't bother me so much as the huge mastiffs who tried to break through the front doors of peopils homes trying to get at me while they were inside. A couple -of times I figured that it was ail over. I read that one candidate feuI into a swimming pool. That didn't happen to me, but numerous times I fell over' rocks, impaled myself on fencès, and had tree branches poke me in, the eye while approaching homes in the dark. Such are some of the perfis of campaigning. Oshawa's Alan Pî'ilkey wants to.be- chafrman people, cared enough to, take the time to vote.

Whitby, this Saturday beginning at il a.m. OLD TYME CHRISTMAS PARTY The Mayor,and Council of theTown of Whitby have There were neyer any problems with 'people, but you certainly meet many different types of people when knoclsing on doors._The first thing that you have to do, when going to someone's door is to let them know as quicl3ïas ps sible that you're not trying to sell somethirigT I usuallydif this by flashing one of my campaign brochures just as the resident opened the door. But once the door was opened,'I certainly met <al lot of very nice people, and I don't mean this in a sarcastîc way. Most people seemed to appreciate your gumption in getting out and knocking on doors, and therefore gave you the time and the initerest to say what you had to say. An especially pleasant group were those who had committed themselves to vote for one of my, opponents. They were invariably polite, and. took the time to telli me why they were supporting someone else. I left with a great deal of- respect for these people, and for the people in the West Ward in general because 0f their attitudes. Whoever won will have a good constituency to work with. So maybe this is the last word on the elections for the next two years. But two years goes by quickly. It's a little early to start campaigning now, but you neyer know. Santa suits available.
