HIMSr.I I' Prince Rupert's first city clerk known to everyone as "Earnls Woods" held office for many a juietly as it started. No great issues have thundered across the nation. No scandals have blackened .lie news. Even the prophets are subdued, and one isteus in vain for sensational predictions. This is all to the good, for it means the results will be the product of calm opinion. As far as this constituency is concerned, it also concentrates more attention than ever on the candidate rather than on the party. In our remote location, this is a natural tendency under any circumstances. In this big, lonely riding where conditions are so, different from any others, we are probably more aware than the average of qui? personal representation in parliament. As the person who speaks for us must have a specialized knowledge, it i3 inconceivable that we should ever adopt a candidate from outside just to help out some party, as is frequently done in more populated areas? This need of familiarity with the particular problems of the Skeena district is something we urge voters to keep closely in mind when they select their candidate on August 10. That is not to say our representative should be without an under standing of the larger affairs affecting the country. If such were the case, he would be a doomed backbencher whose small voice would make an impression on no one. But when the talk at Ottawa swings away from the bigger topics and the various members can put in their local word, we will like to think that our member is there expressing our needs with clarity and knowledge. If he does not, it is safe to say no one will do it for him.
