TIME TO VOTE
L
tr
Amalgamated 1924
VOTING• DAY is a time not to be taken
lightly.
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.

To the Fahners in the Townships of Goderich,

Don't be Fooled by Conservative
Promises
They promise "adequate parity". 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,

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:

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."

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
