Candidates Quietly For
By NEIL A. MATHESON Provincial and Farm Editor Candidates for the Progres- sive Conservative and Liberal parties in this province are working quietly at the poll com- mittee level these days. lining up their organization, and lay-
ing plans for the all ~ important effort leading up to election day on April 8. Candidates for the New Democratic party will not be named until next Satur- day. March 9.
Contrary to an understandable belief that nothing at all is being done. because no public meetings have been scheduled and only one TV speech has been made ate. candidates for both of the old-lineparties are active.
PC candidates Fisheries Min- ister Angus Mac an and Heath Macquarrie were working yes- terday. for example .in the French River area. candidate lra Lewis said he and his colleague, Allison Gillis. have been working with com- mittees for several weeks. Yes- terday. the Liberals were work-

BIG TASK IN QUEENS
Candidates of both parties. or anyone who has ever represent- ed a political party here in re- cent years, agree that it is im- possible to cover a large a rea like Queens completely, within the space of time the political campaign allows. although there is almost constant insistence from prominent party people a door-to-door canvass should be made.
The length of time such an ambitious canvass would re- quire varies from the estimat- ed more than one year to the wo and onwhalf year period lestimated Saturday by Lib- eral candidate Ira Lewis.
mmy Dunphy. who repre- sented the New Democrats in Kings last year.'made a c plete canvass of that smaller area. which took in most of the electors. but that also is a feat that is not usually accomplish- ed.

is last week's offer by Gelco

At present there is no large concentration of Imperial shares in any single group. and A. R. Poyntz. the company's president. says ownership by Gelco of the proposed block should make the company less vulnerable to takeover from out- side Canada.
Most similar offers for pur- chase of part of a company's shares have been made on a first-come. first - served basis ave aroused charges of unfairness.
