The key word being the '"majorlty".

I feel that strong leadiership, while an Important factor should be secondary to this principle. After ail the world bas had strong leaders before - Hitier, Napoleon - to name two who were 50 strong that they imposed their will on the people lnstead 0f' the other way around with disastrous resuits. Is that what we want? If you have definite ideas on what you want for this country, be sure that you get out and vote for the man who endorses similar ideals. Remember, if you fail to vote, you're as good as giving two votes to the opposition. Think about it!1 DIAMOND JUBILEE The family of Harold and Kathleen Forbes of 104- 211 Reedaire Court, Whitby (formerly of Highland Creek and Toronto) take great joy in inviting frien- ds and relatives to join them in the celebration of the couple's Oth wedding anniversar.
