Promises politicians
make in Grand Praire

Topless meter maids, for instance

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta.
(UPC) Al Cavanagh says
topless meter maids would
bring tourists swarming to
Grande Prairie.

But there’s one thing you
got to remember about Al

Cavanagh, who announced

Wednesday his campaign
platform in the four-man
mayoralty race in the for-
thcoming civic election: he
ran as a Rhino Party can-
didate in the last federal
vote.

Cavanagh, a 22-year-old
hotel employee, has some
other rather, ah, un-
conventional planks in his
campaign platform for the
electorate to ponder in this

municipality. located 350
kilometers northeast of
Edmonton.

To fight crime he would
convert the dog pound into a
jail. “Any inmate not
claimed in three days would

be done away with,” he said.

To help ease critical
housing shortages he will, uf
elected, “convert city hall

into a co-ed youth hostel, °*

move the mayor's office
down to a Head West. That's
a ‘head shop’ downtown and
I'd make city employees
work out of cars parked
along main street.”

He also wants to build a
subway to ease traffic and
parking problems, add
topless meter maids to the
civic payroll, and ultimately,
sell Grande Prairie, splitting
the spoils with the 22,670
residents.

“Im not running as a
Rhino.” the former federal
candidate for that party said.
“I'm known as such around
here, but party politics are
not involved.”

Cavanagh had to make a
superhuman effort to

register in the race,
something he says underlines
the seriousness of his
campaign.

Stranded when his car
broke down in Kenora, Ont.
— after an unsuccessful up
to Ottawa to trade barrels of
ou for barrels of beer during
the still on-going beer strike
in Alberta — he had to drive
about 2,000 kilmometes to
Grande Prairie without rest
to make the registration
deadline.

Cavanagh said while he
had planned to run a low
profile campaign and had set
aside only $8.40 for the race,
he has been forced into the
limelight.

“The response has been
just crazy. The people are
really into wu,” he said. The
campaign staff has grown to
1S, all volunteers “dedicated
to the platform.”
