VALLEYFIELD VISITORS.\u2014 The sign was donated to the city of Valleyfield by Gaspard Crepin The district of Valleyfield today gained two new landmarks of public utility, .In a ceremony on Monseignor Langlois Boulevard, Mayor Robert Cauchon, on behalf of the municipality, accepted a handsome sign from Gaspard Crepin Ltd., distributing firm for Dow Brewery products in this region, and Claude Neon Ltd., who lettered, transported and installed it.And in the second half of an unusual dual ceremony a new sign, towering 41 feet high and dominating the busy highway, was unveiled on the Gaspard Crepin Ltd.grounds.The gift of the new sign to the city resulted when Dow decided to replace the clock sign that bordered the highway in front of the Gaspard Crepin Ltd.depot.This sign has been completely done over by Claude Neon Ltd., and has been located at the Mon- seignor Langlois Bridge city limits.It reads \u2018Welcome to Valleyfield\u201d for those motorists heading in our direction

Unity from the grassroots up can make Canada strong and give us a stable and energetic government.Disunity will give us weak government and economic instability.Elsewhere in this issue of the SUN there are two advertisements announcing that another person is seeking the Progressive Conservative candidature in the Beauharnois-Salaberry (V'field- Beauharnois and Chateauguay) county.To us this can only mean one thing: The Le Temps est a la Liberals are so disorganized and confused in regards to making up their minds about who they will bring forward as their candidate that they, or perhaps somcone else, are trying to cause similar confusion and dissention in the Conservative camp by supporting a second Conservative candidate.It's not a new Lactic by any means and is merely aimed at splitting the vote.We notice that this new \u201cpolitical star\u201d uses the columns of another local publication to point out what he considers the failures and weaknesses of the present Member of Parliament and like so many would be politicians he uses the \u201cterrible unemployment situation\u201d as a political football.Many of these unemployed it is being alleged were not given jobs by the MP or weren't received by him.IT IS HIGH TIME THAT WE REALIZE THAT A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT IS NOT AN EMPLOYMENT SANTA CLAUSE WHO SIMPLY HAS TO PUT HIS HAND IN A BIG BAG OF JOBS AND HAND THEM OUT TO WHOM EVER HAPPENS TO COME ALONG!!! The employment situation in our own area this winter has been better than has been the case in many years.In Beauharnois for instance the number of unemployed dropped from 600 last winter to 300 this year.We feel that our local MP will, like his government, wage his clection campaign on his record which to our way of thinking is as good or better than that of any of his predecessors.verile el aux eclaircissements Depuis plusieurs années déja, le St.Lawrence Sun, au point de vue politique, a pris position plutôt du côté droit du centre, et n\u2019a pas encore senti, le besoin de s\u2019en cacher.Il est donc naturel que pour les élections fédérales qui s\u2019en viennent, nous supporterons le parti progressiste conservateur ainsi évidemment que le membre du parlement qui nous a représenté déjà depuis 4 ans.Une autre importante raison qui nous porte à agir de la sorte, c\u2019est que le parti libéral a une tendance plutôt socialiste, ce qui conduit peu à peu au communisme.C'est avec sincérité que nous déclarons sous-estimer le Canada et sa démocratie si nous supportons (quoi que ce soit qui conduit au communisme.Le système démocratique n'est peut-être pas parfait, mais nous le préférons de beaucoup à tout ce que la doctrine communiste peut nous offrir.Cette entrée en matière ainsi que les éclaircissements que nous apportons ont pour but de faire ressortir une chose: LA NECESSITE DE L'UNITE! L'unité de À à Z rendra fort notre Canada et nous donnera un gouvernement stable et énergique.La multiplicité ne peut nous doñner qu\u2019un gouvernement faible ot une économie in- Stable.Il est question, à un autre endroit de cette même publication que vous lisez, d\u2019un certain monsieur qui désire poser sa candidature pour le Parti Conservateur pour le comté de Valleyfield - Beauharnois - Château- guay.A notre point de vue, ceci n\u2019a .qu\u2019une signification: comme les libéraux ne savent pas trop qui choisir pour les représenter, ils essaient de semer la confusion dans le camp opposé en supportant un second candidat.C\u2019est loin d\u2019être nouveau comme tactique et le but est clairement de diviser le vote.Nous avons remarqué que cette nouvelle \u201cétoile politique\u201d emploie les colonnes d\u2019une autre publication locale pour nous mettre sous le nez ce qu\u2019il considère comme la faiblesse du membre actuel du Parlement: \u201cla terrible situation du chômage.\u201d Plusieurs de ces chômeurs n\u2019ont pu trouver d'ouvrage auprès du député ou n\u2019en n\u2019ont pas reçu de lui.IL COMMENCE A ETRE TEMPS QUE NOUS REALISIONS QU'UN MEMBRE DU PARLEMENT N\u2019EST PAS UN PERE NOEL DISTRIBUTEUR D'\u2019EMPLOIS, QUI N'A QU\u2019A METTRE LA MAIN DANS UN SAC PLEIN D\u2019EMPLOIS POUR LES DISTRIBUER AU PREMIER VENU QUI S\u2019ADONNE A PASSER PAR LA!\u201d Cet hiver, dans la région, la situation de chômage a été beaucoup meilleure que bien d\u2019autres années! A Beauharnois, par exemple, le nombre de chômeurs est descendu à 300 de 600 qu\u2019il était l\u2019hiver précédent.Nous croyons que nous député actuel basera sa campagne d\u2019élections sur le travail qu\u2019il a accompli qui, à notre point de vue, est aussi bon sinon meilleur que n\u2019importe lequel de ses prédécesseurs.En Roulant Ma Boule Roulant.Aie!

remplissage du canal, Est-ce que l'intention des auto- vités est d'enjoliver le centre de la ville ou si l\u2019on cherche d'abord à procurer du stationnement aux acheteurs éventuels des mar chands de cette partie de la ville.On répondra sans doute que l'on veut les deux.Le canal, déjà vieux d\u2019une soixantaine d'années, a perdu de sa beauté quand les exigences ont forcé les autorités à baisser le niveau de l'eau.Le visiteur, lui, n'est pas au courant ou ne se rappelle pas si le niveau de l'eau a été plus haut ou plus bas, mais il trouve ça beau de volr le canal qui traverse Val- leyfield,

l'on remplissait le canal, la situation ne serait pas réglée de façon définitive.Mieux vaut garder ce qu'on a déjà cl de conse truire pour l'avenir.Peut-être qu\u2018 si la cité lançait l'idée de fa construction d'un garage pour lc stationnement (elle pourrait peut-être aussi suggérer l\u2019endroit) des intérêts privés se lanceraient dans cette entreprise, Will Regional School Boards Be Province- Wide Soon ?According to certain ments made by the Provincial Government recently it would seem that regional school boards will be formed throughout the Province of Quebec in the not too distant future.While such a move can only make school administration simpler from a Government point of view it seems that the school boards themselves aren't loo enthusiastic about the idea.According to the way many school commissioners feel a lot of ground wil have to be covered and problems solved before the regional school board idea will be accepted by all.According to reliable information Regional School Boards will noi, be instituted immediately but rural boards have heen advised that any enlarging of large-scale renovations will not be allowed unless such construction is absolutely essential.An increase in the number of classes beyond Lhe scventh grade will from now on only be accepted if it is impossible to send the children to neighboring schools or to other sehools in the region.However, the government is prepared to pay up to 90% on the construction of regional schools as long as the school boards in the district have agreed on the construction.Financing and direction of regional school boards will remain in the hands of the regular school boards with representation on the board being determined by the size and locality ol each included area.At the moment the general opinion is that talk of centralization is still somewhat premature and that further studies need to be made regarding the administration and financing.V'field Blood Donors .(Continued from

Tougas-Nicholson Hall at 2 p.m.and according to unconfirmed Gerald Lanlel and In an interview with representatives of the local press, on March 22nd, the Liberal Federation President for Chateau- guay County, Mr.Gérard Bourdon, hetter known as the Great Patronage Dispenser of the County, made some statements which veflect the wildest kind of fancy as well as the vilest political partisanery.Although the population of Chateauguay County knows quite well what to think of Mr.Bourdon's declarations, in the interest of truth, 1 feel it my duty to set the record straight.The Liberal Federation President stated that the License Bureau had been relocated at the request of Revenue Minister.the Honorable Paul Earl, and he further admitted that its new location was unsatisfactory to the population.In this respect, T would like to direct a question to Mr, Bourdon: Who recommended to Mr.Earl that the License Bureau be located at the residence of Mr.Lefebvre?How would the Minister of Revenue know that Mr.Lefebvre was a liberal organizer, if not through the coun- Lty\u2019s Liberal Federation, of which Mr, Bourdon is the President?Mr.Bourdon must therefore accept the entire responsibility for the present situation and the resulting public discontent.Regarding the 3% provincial rebate on interest paid by new property owners, Mr.Bourdon stated that the law applies with no consideration other thal the rights invoked by the owners, He seems to have deliberately overlooked the fact that property owners must be better informed on their rights, and that they should have their representatives in Quebec help them obtain those henefits which the law , provides.In numerous cass property owners have had to spend a sum of $850.00 included in their mortgage, in order to obtain water and sewer services, and this must be taken into account.Mr.Bourdon further stated, in this interview, that the residents of the town of Chateau- guay-Centre were under the impression that the National Union Government had paid for the paving of streets in residential developments.This is not merely an impression, it is a fact.The policy of the National Union Administration was to assist municipalities, through grants or through outright payment of paving works.Such payments were not restricted by the National Union Government for roads of a certain width, but could be made for the paving of any street in all municipalities of the county.Furthermore, 1 am is a position to state that, in all municipalities of Chateau- guay County.with the exception of a few streets in the town of Chateauguay, pavement works were executed and paid for entirely by the provincial Government, Regarding By-Law no.261 of the town of Chateauguay-Centre, it was given approval for the construction of streets, excluding asphall.Mr.Bourdon\u2019s claim, that payment of paving works had been approved, for the streets comprised in this bylaw, is therefore untrue.Mr.Bourdon advocates an accelerated procedure for the annexation of the towns of Cha- teauguay, and I agree.However, he does not take into account the financial situation of these two municipalities.Before a successful merger can be completed, {the elected administrators of Chateauguay-Ville and Chateau- guay-Centre must meet at a conference table, where they may discuss objectively their respective problems, Chateauguay-Ville has a Bond Debt of '$4,171,830.48 while Cha- teauguay-Centre\u2019s Bond Debt totals $1,970,500.00.At this Press Conference, Mr.Bourdon stated that he had a right of surveillance when the provincial Government made a grant.While the National Union was ; in power, the Government made grants to Chateauguay-Centre, jin 1960, totalling $160.000, payable at the rate of $32.000 per year for 5 years, and Chateau- guay-Ville received provincial aid totalling $420,000, over a § year period.payable at the rate of $84,000 per year.In spite of such considerable * financial assistance granted by the National Union Government, 1 never dreamed myself author- - ized to interfere in Municipal affairs.because of my firm belief that the population has
