Years of traditional party government - characterized by broken promises and unfulfilled commitments - have destroyed the faith of Canadians in political promises and platforms. How can faith be restored? By political reforms designed to give the people themselves the democratic tools to hold governments to their promises. The very much appreciated financial support of Reform Members and supporters during the 1997 election placed us in second position as the most popular party in Canada - and - we reached our goal of becoming HER MAJESTY’S LOYAL OPPOSITION and Government - in - Waiting. What A GREAT VICTORY! How we must begin again to rebuild the financial strength of the Lethbridge Constituency Association. ror the past six years, we have accomplished this largely with our annual IND RAISING DINNERS This method encourages many members to contribute on a yearly basis.

A sk A & A A ■ When a storm suddenly blew in at sea, a young woman, leaning against the ship's rail, lost her balance and was thrown overboard. Immediately another figure plunged into the waves beside her and held her up until a lifeboat rescued them. To everyone's astonishment, the hero was the oldest man on the voyage — an octogenarian. That evening, he was given a porty in honor of his bravery. "Speech, speech!" the other passengers cried. The old gen­tleman rose slowly and looked around at the enthusiastic gathering. "There's just one thing I'd like to know," he said testily. "Who pushed me?" DID YOU KNOW...?, _ • Ninety percent of the world's living creatures are insects. • Bugs live almost everywhere: soil, pasture land and woodlands. Scientists h,ave found as many as 300 million insects per acre! Bugs can be found in steamy rain­forests, and on high-altitude moun­tain glaciers. They even live at the South Hole! • Bugs have been around for 300 million years. • Insects help the forest by eating litter on the forest floor. They also spread pollen and seeds. • A grasshopper’s ears, which .work-much like human ears.,, are located., in its front knees. • When you see a swarm of drag­onflies zigzagging close to th’e ■ ■ ground, they're probably hunting for mosquitoes — a favourite meal-' ' for them. A 'attied. harassed businessman rushed , up to the ticket counter of a major airline and gasped: "Miss, book me on your next flight. I've got to get to New York in the worst way.'' Without batting an eyelash, the yc-ung iady handed him his ticket and said. "Don t worry, sir. We ve been doing that for years.' ■ A pedestrian is a person who has a child in high school and only one car in the family. ■ Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you would have preferred to talk. ■ Honesty is the best policy, although sometimes keeping your mouth shut is even better. ■ A driver saw a sign at a large iron gate that barred entry to a large estate beyond. The sign read: "Ring For Caretaker." Stopping his car, the man rang the ■ bell ana waited. Five minutes later a truck pulled up and a man, obviously the care­taker, got out. The driver, perplexed, asked, "Why can't you ring for yourself?"
