Pioneer Dies In Kelly Road Cabin
A 94-year-old man died yesterday In a cabin north of hero on the old Kelly road.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police said but I'll try anyhow.   .
You know me, because I'm your Tom, John or Jack. I'm anywhere from thirteen to twenty-one years of age, give or take a couple of years. I'm a boy, mainly.1
You say I'm mixed up. You tell me to act my age, be an adiflt, yet treat me like a two-year-old. You also cail me a "hood" a "punk" or a "thug."
You want to know why and where I go wrong. Well I go wrong because there is nothing to do. I go wrong in the home under your care.
You want to know how to help me and fix the damage.
Well, give me someplace to go, someplace to do some wrestling, boxing,  tumbling,  or weightlifting � or to play basketball, golf, tennis or badminton.
"But," you say, "the civic center is the place for that."
Well the place to wrestle, box, tumble, or weight-lift is downstairs in a small, low room, that is too crowded and it's always locked anyway. The place to play basketball, tennis or badminton is upstairs and just as I get enough guys for a game and get the game started, I'm told to "get out and go home, it's time to close up." So I go back to the cafe, the poolhall, or the street corners.
Well, if you want me off the streets, give me ' someplace to go and something to do.

Most Successful In City's History
By TONY SKAE
Citizen City Editor
Apathy and indifference took a back seat in the Civic Centre auditorium Friday night to close to 900 avid supporters of all political faiths who turned out for the most successful political rally in.the history of the city.
Nothing like it has been seen since John Diefenbakcr drew over 400 followers to a noon-hour meeting here last June.
Flushed.with the success of the giant-meeting, co-sponsors of the Junior Chamber Of Commerce organizers are already planning to stage another rally of similar proportions before the campaign ends March 31. The rally got underway at 8
p.m. but long before that time spectators began to file into the cavernous building and all seats were filled by the time chairman Walter Burns rose to introduce the speakers.
Although the crowd was noisy and at times interrupted various speakers, it was a well-conducted and orderly meeting coming to a close at 10' p.m. following
a half-hour question period.
Each candidate, representing the four political parties, was given ample time to speak and if the meeting proved one thing, it is that the campaign will be a tight race right down to election day.
"It certainly was a great success," said Brice Morrison, presl-Scc "POLITICAL RALLY"  Pocjc 2
