EDUCATED .TO SERVE
(The Kincardine News). .
Now.' that the , matter: • has • been ` de-
cidecr the citizensof the riding of Bruce
can settle. back and:; give their undivided
support to the Man ::thr;• have 'elected in
a• democratic way. We sincerely :,.believe
that John .Loney. 'will .:prove to' be : a
credit. to. the 'Bruce. and,'with .experience,
has the capabilities'' of reaching even grea_
er heights. than that . of . the rank and file
• members .Of the House. of Commons
During the campaign, we • hesitated to
go into"one of• the details we, .knew about
the .life of John Loney, which culminated
with his' election on ; Monday night.: . ,
. It was • back *hen;he 'was, a young-
ster of.sixteen.. that''he told us ,of his in=
terest ` in •politics and, his. desire ' to 'learn
all he .could . about the various parties;'.
laws-• of our country. where 'politics ,were
concerned 'and 'of .political history of Can-
ada. o
+ At the time . his 'interest' was only,
taken seriously to the extent .we, ,made it
possible for him` to make the proper . con-
• tacts fiFom which. he could obtain books
and ' information. to. satisfy his . desires.
Frankly we looked .`upon his ' request at
the time as a passing fancy which .' might,.
' hi' a month or.• so, • be easily diverted to
some other channel for ' such is youth:-
However,'. rather than lessen: • his interest,
it. increased over the years- and, he satis-
• fled his' own mind that'the 'Conservative
way' of thinking was the one , which he
chose to follow. ' ' •
Nineteen years have elapsed and John
Loney. is still studying, and storing all the
knowledge of government . which he' can.
'A. fewyears ago he took. courses in ..pub-
lic , speaking to. better : equip him for a
job which he hoped, some day'. he might
file in the riding of Bruce.
Those who can look. upon hint with':
out .,prejudice: are 'amazed at his mastery

of presentation when he has the opportun_-
its• of , addressing , the pixblk.. ' .

it hat' been' sacrificing` his own business
and "interests to serve :others who have

"SIT WAS, A GOOD CONVENTION" . •
(Exeter .:Times -Advocate)
It's often' . difficult, ' for some strange
reason, for municipal . representatives to
.explain what- happened at the conventions
..theyattend'' this time of year.
Councillors come back from the good
roads, the rural 'municipalities', mayors,'
and . reeves',: dog -catchers' andfenceview-
ers' sessions • in Toronto (usually) with
four stock. ' comments -
(a) Oh, . y, es,. it was a good con-
vention' :this • year. Wouldrrt have, missed
it for., anything," • (Very enthusiastically).
(b) „Well . er . ah: , no,..
there really wasn't anything
