of Eckville. The former high
school teacher who taught
his classes that the
Holocaust never occurred
and that Jews were behind
all evil in the world, was de-
cisively defeated for re-
election in the Alberta
farming community 65
miles southwest of the pro-
vincial capital, Edmonton.
The vote was 278-123 in
favor of Keegstra's chal-
lenger, Harold Leach, with
92 percent of the town's elig-
ible voters casting ballots.
While Keegstra's blatant
anti-Semitism was not an
issue in the campaign —
there are no Jews in
Eckville — it definitely ho-
vered in the background.
Townspeople resented the
adverse publicity generated
when Keegstra's views were
exposed to the world media
a year ago and felt he had
tarnished the reputaton of
Eckville.
Keegstra, 53, was fired
from his teaching job last
December after parents

complained that he was
indoctrinating their chil-
dren with race hatred.
One parent instrumental
in his ouster, Margaret .
Andrews, was one of the
five new members
elected to the Town
Council. She is the first
Eckville woman ever to

Keegstra is a member of
the Social Credit Party, a
populist party once consid-
ered anti-Semitic but now
claiming to reject such
views. Nevertheless, he has
been reinstated as an execu-
tive vice president of the
party from which he was
temporarily dropped last
year.
The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police recently
completed a report follow-
ing an investigation of
Keegstra and he could face
criminal proceedings for
publicly promoting hatred
of Jews if charges against
him are pressed. The disci-
plinary committee of the
Alberta Teacher's Associa-
tion is considering a
recommendation to Alber-
ta's Minister of Education,
David King, to revoke
Keegstra's teachers license.
