MONDAY ,IS THE DAY
`few weeks ago the :'.Dominion
election campaign got .underway, with a
state of confusion and uncertainty •as to'
the ' .road to peace and prosperity for.
Canada:'.
On 'Saturday the campaign will :draw
to a close,. and unless there are some list
•
minute• revelations, the political.- leaders
will : have accomplished . little,. in clarifying
the picture -- if they had hoped soto.•
do,'`
They have'. achieved, ,.We believe
but.: not ` With. aforeth : ught -- i forcing
many vioters ,to do. • s'ome. serious thinking
about what . the, future may hold at home
and abroad.` The non-partisan voter' has
been : struggling ' to sift the 'wheat. from..
•
the chaff," and arrive ,at an answer that"
cannot beanswered by wlio' to vote for,
;but rather, what is best for ' Canada. The
voter has the .responsibility •—' and rarely:
a • more demanding one of thoughtfully;
and seriously piercing the ;political fog. 'of
confusion ' to make his ..or her .decr'sipn.
He' or she may prove to . have this ability,
and . their 'mandate next Monday, may
well' mirror the soul searching of the past;.'.
few weeks:
The question of nuclear arms, `dis-
tressing• and horrifying; in •their,/potential,
has.. however, , possibly overshadowed
other important ' aspects of legislation , to
be : expected;and 'demanded of a govern-,
mens.:
' ' Most certainly, to: our , thinking, - the
• Bornarc 'has ceased to .be an election issue.
The welter •of claims and counter -claims,
the disagreement among those who ..should:
..:be able' to intelligently 'inform, and the
ignorance of ; NORAD's functions, have
left the '. "little n),an'; : bewildered: l -le is
now content to let this• matter rest, to be
settled ' ultimately when cool heads pre-
vail,' and when the pros and cons ,of the
subject are'no longer colored and . slan-
ted .by . political eatpediency.

VOTING A RESPONSIBILITY
Next Monday is election day, and
never have we , sensed 'a more serious..
snood on the part of the electorate .as,
to the significance of : his or • her ballot:
` The' welter. ' of 'uncertainty results . in
,some : tending not to vote. This is indeed.
a' negative conclusion. •
Generally at election time ` One 'hears
the old ' axiom, about.' "vote• as you .like •
•
but' :vote," ' ' or about "getting out the
vote,,. •
Somehow' these phrases have. a of-.
low ringt his election Voting never de-
manded.
e-manded. more serious thought than now,
and no able bodied . voter should' have to
be 'coaxed • or influenced into voting. A
voter who' has to be. ' literally `dragged"
to' the polls is scarcely .afipreciative of
his democraticfreedom, nor is he ' giving:
much thought to ;the, problems' that 'con-
front his country :•
' The measure ofappreciation of our'
democratic form of governi'nent is to be.
found in the ,percentage of eligible voters
who:. cast ' their, iballots on election. day.
Democracy — true ` democracy ` cannot
survive indifference. If a muscle is not
used it atrophies. In . the' same way, if
the . rights ,and . privileges' of democracy
are not ' exercised by the' public then
they, .'too, will Wither away .and die, This
' challenge. 'that is faced • ,as .we
'approach' ppthe
