Last year ballots were spoiled when people answered referendums with a "yes" or "no."

But if any more than four Xs are placed against the names the ballot will be spoiled Shoul a voter spoil a ballot unwittingly, he may return the ballot to the returning officer" and obtain a new one.

Though he made it clear he was referring to Americans v hen he said "non-Canadians," the prime minister Indicated that there have been no tiffs between the Canadian nnd the United Slates governm-nts concerning the presence of U.S. servicemen in Canada's north. Canaaa s defence build-up was made more difficult by the geographical fact that the country's northland lies between the U.S. and Russia. But all joint Canada-U.S. defence measures "are implemented with full respect for the sovereignty" of Canada. At one point, the prime minister said: "We must leave no i!oubt about our active occupation and exercise of our sovereignty in these northern lands right up to the Pole." . The prime minister also reiterated that Canadian resources in the north must be reserved for Canadian use.

Mr. Hills said he blew neither hot nor cold on the transfer of the Roosevelt Park fund. He advised the electors to transfer it wherever the parks board sees fit. Mr. Hills said the city should meet the Civic Centre's deficit after the Centre has done its utmost to raise funds for itself. Referring to the power situation Mr. Hills said that the B.C.
