“Normally. . there would be an election this spring,” he added. ‘‘But there has been no decision made to have one yet.” —

The last general election was in July, 1974.

LIKE CAMPAIGN _

The campaign-style tour gave Trudeau plenty of chances for shaking hands and signing autographs. At Prince Georgemeager children deman ed auto- graphs, and at Penticton and Vernon Trudeau again

‘made himself available to admiring voters.

He surprised his aides by deciding to attend a dance. at Vernon, part of its winter carnival ceremonies, where he shook hands with dozens of pretty young beauty queen contestants before taking to the dance floor for an hour. ,

. The Friday night visit to Vernon ended the tour and Trudeau returned to Ottawa Saturday. ’ But the trip left a sour taste in some reporters’ mouths. Lumbering along behind the prime minister's jet in an aging DC-3, national reporters missed his arrival at.Penticton and again at Vernon. In both eases, picketers were on hand protesting the province's 8!2 per cent jobless rate.

The tour organizers were left red-faced in Vernon, after the prime minister gave a brief news conference for local reporters. Political advisors had neglected to tell Trudeau's press aides about the event, and as a result reporters who had travelled with the prime

. minister throughout the tour did not learn of the news

conference until it was over.

The travelling reporters were prevented from in- dividually questioning Trudeau in the two days, and he also had passed over his regular weekly news con- ference in Ottawa,
