« by Ray Argyle THIS WEEK AND NEXT The two leading candidates tlor the Liberal leadership, Roâ€" bert Winters and Pierre Elliott Trudeau, are being forced into a common strategy in wooing the party‘s 2,500 convention deleâ€" gates. â€" For all that the two men apâ€" pear to be at opposite poles withâ€" in the broad framework of the modern Liberal party, the realiâ€" ties of convention politics force them both to promote policies which are really far removed from the, things in which they believe most strongly. These two leading candidates are thus avoiding the issues,.on which the Liberal party leaderâ€" ship should be decided. Delegates to the party‘s April ronvention in Ottawa should be able to choose the successor to Prime Minister Pearson on the basis of where the party is to stand on the controversies of the day. Some of these include the Liâ€" beral party‘s â€" attitude â€" toward free trade with the United States and the extent of U.S. domination of Canadian industry. There are major fiscal quesâ€" tions to be answered, such as whether the federal government should ease back on spending so as to come in with balanced budgets. Should the country proceed with medicare July 1. despite warning this will impose heavâ€" ier burdens on government budâ€" gets, leading to higher taxes? There are delicate questions of international finance, the most important of which is whether the U.S. will be able to escape devaluation of its currency, which would thereby knock the props out from under the Canaâ€" dian dollar. Robert Winters, because he is regarded as a spokesman for big business, a Bay street boy and an accomplished financier, stresses instead his modest Nova Scotia background. By nature more conservative than most Conservatives, Mr. Winters is goâ€" ing out of his way to avoid atâ€" tacking welfare state programs. He has stayed out of the Frenchâ€" English â€" debate, avoided the stand which has cost Trudeau considerable support in Quebec, but has spoken of the need for greater opportunity for French Canadians, something with which neither English or French Caâ€" nadians will disagree. The main outlines of Winters campaign can thus be seen to make him a moderate, a man of the centre, in very much the image of Robert Stanfield, the reasoned, intelligent but aggresâ€" sive businessman who will asâ€" sure good Canadian common sense at the helm of government. While Winters pursues the reâ€" formist element in the Liberal party knowing that he already has rightâ€"wing Liberals backing him (and thus doesn‘t have to woo them). Widely regarded as a radical, a reformist, a swinger and inâ€" deed almost a socialist from some of his past pronounceâ€" ments, it might be expected that Trudeau _ would stake out the new high ground to which he would propose to take Canada and the Liberal party if he beâ€" came leader and Prime Minister. But instead. again the emphaâ€" sis is on what Trudeau is not. Because he has the Jleftâ€"wing Liberals backing him, there is no need to court their favor. The wooing must be of the old guard, standâ€"pat Liberals of the Macâ€" kenzie King and St. Laurent era. Thus Trudeau attacks the idea of a minimum annual wage as one which would merely ensure Canadians of a minimum standâ€" ard of welfare, instead of maxiâ€" mum â€" opportunity. He criticizes US. bombing of North Vietnam but says we should continue to Well They‘re Being Honest Only on the issue of federalâ€" ism, has Trudeau spoken clearâ€" ly to the issue â€" at the risk of losing support in Quebec he has gained a tremendous following in the rest of Canada. He says medicare should be the last uniâ€" versal welfare program launchâ€" ed m Capada. sell military equipment to the U.S. because to dqo so is profitâ€" able to our industry. By taking these approaches, neither Winters nor Trudeau are being dishonest or insincere. But anyone who expects a political candidate to really stake out his position is asking too much. It‘s too risky. Demand for VON Service Continues to Increase The demand for Victorian Orâ€" der of Nurses service in North Waterloo continues to increase, according to figures presented to the March meeting of the board of management by Mrs. R. M. Elâ€" der, nurse in charge. In January and February visits totalled 2,932. This is 1,251 more than in the same period of 1967, the increase being partly accountâ€" ed for by 868 visits under the home care program now in operaâ€" tion. An amended cost per visit of $4.25, effective April 1, was apâ€" proved. This is based on an actâ€" ual cost per visit in 1967 of When budget estimates were made last December, it was beâ€" lieved that the cost per visit would have to be raised to $4.50 from the present rate of $3.75. Dona Nash, nurse administraâ€" tor of the countyâ€"wide home care program, reported that 155 patients had been accepted up to the end of February, with 35 per cent being under 50 years of 3 BIG LOCATIONS 703 Belmont Ave. West, Kitchener Corner Weber St. & University Ave., Waterloo 493 Lancaster St., near Bridgeport Rd., Bridgeport KWIKIE ALL STORES OPEN 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. SEVEN DAYS A WEEK INCLUDING SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS Three Students Africaâ€"Bound Marilyn Brown, Judith Dunlop and William Snodgrass, all stuâ€" dents at the University of Waterâ€" loo, will be participating as the university‘s student representaâ€" tives in the summer 1968 proâ€" gram of activities of Operation Crossroads Africa.

The average length of stay of those discharged from the proâ€" gram was just under 18 days. Many patients and doctors have expressed appreciation of the fact that the program permits patients to convalesce at home, releasing hospital beds for emerâ€" gencies. Miss Nash stressed the continuâ€" ing need for homemakers to imâ€" plement the home care program. She said the Red Cross is starting a new instruction course for inâ€" terested women on April 9. A committee was appointed to meet with a similar group from the South Waterloo VON to disâ€" cuss amalgamation of the two branches. The order‘s national office is encouraging such invesâ€" tigations, since in many cases greater efficiency is possible. Dr. J. G.
