Riding Association members from Rossport, Schreiber and Terrace Bay convened to meet lke Mutch and to organize the canvassing and financing of the campaign. lke was gratified at the turnout and the financial response to the campaign by the members present at the meeting. Ike regaled us with some of the interesting exper- iences he has had on the long campaign trail and show ed a lot of enthusiasm for the remaining weeks, the travels he will make and the people he will be seeing before the voters go to the poles. lke finds that he is coming into contact with people in ever-increasing numbers who are deeply concerned about the complete lack of co-operation and co-or- dination between Canada Manpower and the Unem- ployment Insurance Commission. Other issues important to the people in the riding and to | ke Mutch are the high freight rates, the « astronomical rise in the cost of living, the resulting plight of the old age pensioners, the heights to which unemployment has soared and the ubiquitous corporate bums with their tax deferments and write-offs. lke has pledged himself to work on these issues and their solution. Ike is pleased with the support he has received thus far and is confident it will increase with each passing day. Publicity.
