Voting day is a time for setting aside all calls of business, pleasure, or otherwise, and making the trip to the polls the thing of first importance. • Voting day is the time for `taking advantage bf a precious right—the right to vote, which was fought for 'by our ancestors, and is still being fought for in many countries to-day. It is on the sturdy foundation of free elec- tions that the whole fabric of, our democratic system is built—our free press, our, freedom of speech and of religion; our right to work and lives as we will. It is a rare privilege and we should guard it well. Through the press, radio and films We have easy access to all the information we need in order. to arrive at a sound judgement in casting our ballots. We have a duty which must lie accepted if we are to keep our Democracy strong and vital, These rights of ours are well worth guard- ing. VOTE as you like—But VOTE! WITH THE BIRDS SUMMER WEEKEND driving is coming up fast with its traffic jams, delays, frustrations and accidents. But why not set out just before dawn? The fact that such an hour to start is per- haps a little unorthodox,and a little inconven- ient seems to be the only reason for not taking advantage of the low traffic volumes usual at this time. For those who ,like to drive when traffic is light, an early, early morning start has ad- vantages. Three things seem necessary: (1) to persuade passengers to co-operate, (2) to make adjustments in the times of retirement and ris- ing, (3) a sturdy alarm clock.

They don't tell you parity means either higher taxation for you, in- flation with rising cost of the things you- must buy, or control of your agricultural production. Do you want some government inspector to tell you how much grain you may grow, Or how many cattle, hogs and'hens you may own? They promisd you protection. They don't tell you that higher tariff, full protection mean an end to Canadian trade, which under Liberal policy is the highest per capita in the war d, You remember what happened in the 30's when under a Conservative gov- ernment, tariffs were raised, conferences were called, trade stopped and you couldn't sell your products 'at any price. Do you want to return to "conditions as they were then? They promise you tax reduction. But they also promise additional expenditures amounting to more than a Million dollars, You know promises like these mean nothing, You can spend more, you can tax less but you can't do both at the same time, DON'T BE FOOLED—DON'T TAKE A CHANCE—VO;FE LIBERAL In Huron, Elect Andy McLean Have a Voice on the Government Side (Publi§lidd by the Iatten Liberal Association PIECES Here is the finest value-packed table Ensemble ever presented.

TWO CLINTON NEWS-Rr.cori,p THUR'SDA'Y, ,TUNE 6, 1907 ON THE POLITICAL SCENE Editor of News-Record, Clinton, Ontario, Dear Editor: Please allow space in your popu- lar paper for a few lines on the current election campaign which is now of general interest through- out the country. As the campaign draws to a close interest focuses upon the four main party leaders. The writer of this letter, a con- , sistent supporter of Progressive 1Conservative policies and princi- iples, was disappointed at the choice of the nominating conven- tion for party leadership, having strongly hoped that Donald Flem- ing would be chosen on account of his greater popularity in Quebec. But ever since his opening speech of the campaign, John Deifenbaker h a s shown great strength and has proven to be the man for the job. A popular mag- azine in an early June , edition published a setter written by a young Canac110- Mr. David Watts, who with his wife Jean will vote for the first time in a federal el- ection on June .10. The letter was addressed to the four main party leaders. The replies are published in the same edition and we would wish that they could be read by every voter in Huron. In his letter Mr. Deifenbaker has shown statesmanship 'of a high Order while the Liberal lead- er's reply has a pronounced politi- cal bias. The CCF and SAial Credit leaders stress the strong points of their policies. As the campaign has advanced, Mr. Deifenbaker has shown in- creasing strength,as evidenced by the crowds turning out to see and hear him wherever he has ap- peared. His stock has gone up and up. He scored a strong point in his refusal to be photographed in the baby kissing act at one 'of his meetings. "No," said he "That is not in my line, someone else has a patent on that act." Though the election campaign has seemed tame in comparison with those of former years it has been cleanly carried ,on. In John Detfen.baker the PC party can claim to have a leader of Prime Minister calibre. In Huron the electors are fortunate in having candidates of parliamentary ex- perience to make choice of. Let their records in the House speak for them. Associated with the privilege of the franchise is the duty one owes to the country to exercise it. As an elder citizen I should like to repeat to the eligible voters of Clinton, what' has been said be- fore: Vote as you like, but vote. Yours cordially, Letters to the Editor: 40 YEARS AGO Clinton New Era Thursday, June '7, 1957 While working on Saturday Ailex Cudmore had the misfortune to step on a nail. He was off work for several days. S. Cooper, proprietor of the Normandie Hotel, '.put on a new motor bus last week, instead of his horses. Recently Harry Bartliff lost 15 of his best chickens by a raid by Mr. Weasel. A. T. Cooper will preach in Kip- pen next Sunday. Miss Violet Argent left on Tues- day for London, where she has ac- cepted a position. W. Jackson and John Wiseman were at Stratford on Friday. Miss Amy Howson spent the weekend at Kincardine. Mrs. Peter Campbell leaves next Tuesday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Simon McKenzie, Starthoak- es, Sask. 25 .YEARS AGO Clinton News-Record Thursday, June 9, 1932 John Watkins'has erected an oil station on the south side of Huron Street. H. E. Rorke is having a summer cottage built on the lake shore 'near Goderich. F. W. Andrews who ships straw- berry plants all over Canada, has this year had an order from Scot- land. Thomas McMillan, M.P., repre- sentative of South Huron in the Dominion parliament, died in Clin- ton Public Hospital on Tuesday morning as the result of injuries received on Monday when he was crushed against the wall of the The Bible Today All over the world there is an astonishing revival of interest in the Bible, the Rev. W. J. Brad- nock reported to the 153rd An- nual. Meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society in London, England. "Never in our history have we been committed to such' a trem- endous volume of translation and revision work," said Mr. Brad- nock, who is secretary for trans- lation of the „British and Foreign Bible Society, "At the present moment we have 243 different language projects in hand." Stressing 'that the emphasis to- day is upon supplying the com- plete New Testament and then the complete Bible, the speaker said that it was natural that as native• churches grew they should require all of the.sacred text in their own language. There are 42 new Bib- les in course of comppotion in Af- rica and Asia alone. Because classic versions of the Scriptures require long years of study and use to bring them to perfection there has been' a tre- mendous increase in the growth of revision work. In Africa and Asia this year 19 Bibles and 26 New Testaments are undergoing revis- ion. Wherever missionaries are still free to work they must bring the scholarly resources of the west to the aid of local language experts as they seek to produce suitable translations of the Bible. "We must, however," stated Mr. Brad- nock, "recognize that this is ur- gent and time is not our friend." Suggested readings for the week: Sunday ...„.

Percy Brown spent the weeicend with his wife and daughter Susan at Port Ryerse. A BIT OF POLITICS The Editor, Clinton News-Record, This is from an old timer to all old age pensioners: The Tories have been in power about as long as the Grits since confederation. Has any of you ever got anything from them, in that time? Have they ever put a floor price on anything you had to sell? I have sold eggs at ten cents a dozen under their rule. Now the floor price is 30 cents, I've sold butter at 15 cents; now the floor price is 58 cents. I've sold milk to make a pound of cheese at 10 cents; now the floor IS 30 cents. I've sold pigS at $2.85 cwt and now the floor is $23 dressed., I've bought wheat at 47 cents a bushel and oats at 15 cents to feed hogs that sold to the American market at $5. Now you receive $40 per month which I think is very fair when you "consider the other 'fellow has 'to work hard to pay for it. The reason they are making such a drive this time to win, is the big fat goose that is down in Ottawa. They would like a chan- ce to pluck it, so they would have something to ' give away which they never did before. You know what you are getting now. Don't be carried' away by promises which We "know" they can never fulfill. Yours truly, JAMES R. STIRLING June 1, 1957, RR 2, Bayfield, Ontario.
