She and her husband have seven children.

In her nomination speech, she accused the provincial government, among others, of "passing the buck." When efforts are made to get highway improvements in the Yarrow area, she claimed that "Mr. Kiernan passes the buck to someone else, and someone else passed the buck to him."

By JOHN DAVIES Regional News Director As it happened, it was Mrs. Art (Kelly) Weger of Yarrow who was chosen Saturday as the New Democratic Party's candidate for the Chilliwack riding in the next provincial election.

But without too great a stretch of the imagination, it could have been her husband. "We both intended to seek the nomination," Mr. Weger told the convention in the IOOF Hall, Chilliwack, "but for the good of the party we decided it would probably be better if only one of us did. I relented, with the condition that I could nominate her." Fifty-three accredited delegates took part in the balloting. Also seeking the nomination was Charles McKay of Sardis.

Numerical vote was not announced. Mr. McKay was nominated by Ken Henderson and seconded by former provincial Says Eileen Dailly CANADA CHOICE, CHUCK ROAST Now!

Weger said, "I am against foreign take-over in any way, shape or form." Mr. McKay said he would bring in a private member's bill to make it unlawful for anyone who is not a Canadian citizen to own property in British Columbia. "No foreigner would own land in British Columbia," he said. Asked how they felt about having definite election dates, Mr. McKay said he would sponsor a bill to have an election every fourth year, or less if the government failed to get a majority." Mrs.

Weger said the situation could be affected by the British North America act, but she was sure that regular election dates would be one of the first things an NDP government would establish if it were possible to do so. Mr. Heinrich referred to the mounting labor violence, and asked the nominees which segment of society they would blame for it. Mrs. Weger blamed the government for most of the problem.

She said the Swedish system was better and much of its program, though not all of it, could be adopted here. "I couldn't agree more," added Mr. McKay. "The only thing I could add is that industry knows the government is backing them rather than the unions. This is why we have the problems we do." Nominees were questioned about the government actions concerning the former Coqua-leetza hospital at Sardis.

"I think by the time he left there, he was exhausted," she said. In her review of provincial affairs, Mrs. Dailly said that Premier Bennett is beginning to slip somewhat, "but make no mistake, he is still a very clever politician." She claimed that the government is becoming increasingly arrogant, and is not listening to the people.

This is the assessment of Mrs. Eileen Dailly, MLA for Burnaby North and deputy leader of the New Democratic Party in the Legislature.
