SEL -Civie-minded, vigorous candidates needed \AQTH nomination day for this year's civic elections only 11 days away there seems remarkably little action on the local political front. There is no mayoral contest this year but four aldermaniec seats will be at stake, three for two-year terms and one seat for a one-year term. Those whose-terms expire Decem- her 31 are Alderman Kay Smith, Al- derman T. Norton Youngs, Alderman A, Donald Ritchie and Alderman Dar- row Gomez. All of them but Ald. Ritchie had city council experience prior to the last two elections and it is logical that they might wish to seek re-election to complete projects in which they have had a hand over the years. Then again they may have had their fill of civic life, which is not an easy one if taken seriously. That means, as always, that there is room for new blood on the council. There is a need for serious young men with fresh ideas and a questioning at- titude towards civic life to assume their responsibilities to their city. With costly but necessary projects such as a new firehall and a new sewer | THE Canadian man-in-the-street, we ave frequently told, knows little and cares less about the great moral issues and crises which split and wrack his world. And yet, we can’t help sympathizing occasionally with the man who throws up his hands in despair and cries out: use. If they don’t know how am I to know?” . “Take cessation of nuclear-tests. Two weeks ago Dr. O. M. Solandt, ° described as “one of Canada’s leading nuclear scientists,” and the former head of the Defence Research Board had the following to say in Montreal: “We must recognize that the cessa- tion of tests may produce conditions in which Canadians wil] be called upon for new sacrifices in the cause of free- dom.” He referred to the huge forces of conventional armaments and man- power we would have to maintain, Dr. Solandt argued that the “best hope” of achieving an effective defence is cen- LETTER FROM OTTAWA European free “What's the. system to be brought to a successful conclusion, a new city ‘hall and water system in the near future to be ar- ranged, a vigorous city council with depth and vigor, alertness and fore- sight, optimism and commonsense is essential if Prince Rupert is to grow and prosper. . The same applies to District 52 school board. The term of Trustees Mrs, A. L. Bell, K. F. Harding and Robert Kelsey expire at the end of the year. Like the aldermen the trustees have done a commendable job over the past year. Whether the electorate is satisfied with them or not, there should be an effort on the part of com- munity-minded citizens to offer them- “selves.as candidates in the hope that they can do even better. Elections settled by acclamation may provide a vote of confidence for the incumbents but there is always the feeling that a certain amount of disinterest was also present. There is no room for apathy in these crucial times, certainly not in the civic life of Prince Rupert.

Dy. Smith, of course, did not say cessation of tests was the entire an-- swer to the disarmament problem. It was nevertheless apparent he regard- ed it as desirable, We agree with Mr. Man-in-the- Street. If Dr. Smith and Dr. Solandt don’t know how are we to know?

I have questioned some of them, and they mean it. Faces may not be true guages of character. But I suspect that there are some things to be read from them. The mes- sage I pick up from the faces of Presley and Bardot is smug, " flabby self-indulgence.
