ACCLAMATION: GOOD OR BAD?
THERE WILL be no voting done in Clinton
next week.
EVery one of the municipal offices were fill-
ed .en alionclay aight, inone a the most apathetic
and colourless citizens' meetings: to be held in
the town hall for many a year.
Recollection and some checking reveals, that
Weis the first' time in well over 20 years that
• there has. been an acclamation for all positions
here, Apparently dt happened back in the 1930s,
but nct. since then.
Whether the fact of complete acclamations
is *a good or bad sign for the town, is a good
question. There seems to be"two fields of thought
with regard to it,
•One faotion contends that it is a bad sign:
It means that people of Clinton no longer care
A PERF
what happens in their municipal affairs. The
Particnlarly, poor turn-eut at the nomination day
meeting supports this theory. Certainly a col-
lection of at) from among the nearly 3,009 people
, in Clinton, is not a reasonable representation, at
all.
The other faction contends that it is a good
sign: It means that the elected officers have been
doing a good job, and the, ratepayers have given
them an acclamation as one way. oa saying, "Well
done
Either way, it means he same: That Clinton
will receive similar government during 1958 to
that received in 1957. And if' anyone had been.
Particularity upset over any injustices during the
present year, they missed a perfect chance on
Monday night to show how they felt.
ECT RIGIIT
WE ARE ALWAYS deeply concerned when
anyone makes the thoughtless remark "He paus-
ed an eleafion". This is generally said when,'
with one extra man nominated for any office, the
last chap to qualify for the position is said to
have caused an election.
Actually no one should be made to feel at a
disadvantage by reason bf this situation.
Eery Canadian, over 21, with his taxes
perfect right to stand for election -to a municipal
paid, and other qualifications in order, has a
office, whether he is one of ten extra men for a
post, or if he is the only extra one named. There

Don't forget that fire kills.
This may seem early enough for such a
warning, but the coming of Christmas brings

hurried days, just before the 25th, it is very easy
to become careless and forget the extra planning

should be no doubt in anyone's mind over this.
The job of working for the public in a mun-
icipal office can be an onerous one. It is not
fair that'one who is willing and'eapable of filling
one of the offices, should be made to feel he is
"a nuisance" by this attitude. •
Actually the cost of an election is not par-
iticulaily high in a municipality such as Clinton.
If there had been one held next week, we eatim-
ate the cost to have been $100 or less. This is
• small price to pay ,indeed, for the assurance that

"This sum is not for programs. You'll never
guess what it is for, and you'll find it hard. to

"That sum—alrriost a cool million dollars—
was for CBC's Press and Information Service,

"How is the money spent?
"My guess is that the CIBC spends far too
much on propaganda and not enough on pro-
grams. lf it' would spend the mooey on good
radio'. arid TV shows it wouldn't need to try so
hard to sell itself and the idea of State Broad-
casting to the people,
"If the OBC is spending this huge sum on
those- mimeographed publicity sheets it ought
cut it out right now, and buy space in the papers.
For that kind of money, it cotild run quite a

-SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) 8, T.. Smile
Like everyone else, I've been
somewhat alarmed about the Sput-
niks, proposed trip to the moon
and other science -fiction talk em-
anating from the Kremlin of late,
and being commented upon with
so mugh gusto by all the hindsight
experts, who can explain now, al-
ready, why the Russians are so
far ahad and we're so far behind.
* *
But 1 didn't plan to do anything
about it, until I read that "exclu-
sive interview" with NikitaaKrus-
chev in a a daily paper recently
.Areporter had written, the Rus-
sian top dog a letter, Containing
a lot of long-winded questions.
Nik is no dumbell. He answered
them, in his bian. brand of double-
talk, Result Was a noisy back pat-
ting job by the newspaper, on it-
aelf, and a couple of columns of
free propaganda for the 'Kremlin.
* *
This annoyed me hugely, so
decided to get the REAL inside
story from Russia. And I knew
just where to get it. I dropped
'a line to an old prison -camp friend
of' mine, a Czech called Joe, ex -
pilot. Back in '44 he didn't think
much of the British, detested the
Yanks and French and bitterly
hated the Germans. He thought
Russia and communism were the
answer to man's jnhumanity to
man, and went off/with the Rus-
sian troops when they liberated
our camp.
*
I didn't see him again, until I
ran across him a month ago, in
a Toronto bistro of the lower sort.
He was not the old Joe, who could
distill a batch of illegal hooch
from a few spuds, argue all night
about the rights of man, or sing
a wild, Czech song until the tears
ran down his cheeks. But he was
still Joe, and nobody's. man but
his own. I learned that he was a-
bout three weeks newly out of
Russia, but not a word would he
say of how or why.
So when got furious the other
day about the big deal "inter-
view" with Krushchev, I wrote a
list of questions to the address
Joe had given me in Toronto, to
find out what really makes Russia
tick. Here they are, wtih his an-
swers, in his own quaint brand of
English.
* * * *
Question: Joe, what is it really
like in RusSia? AnSWer: so you're
a. chicken? You been inside a egg?
That's what is like, and some day
you are frie'd egg sandwich, no
ketchup.
Question: What do the Russian
people, not the leaders, but the
people, think of the atom bomb
and other nuclear weapons? An-
swer: Hah! Russian peoples don't
know atom bomb from Adam's ap-
ple. They crazy, them Russian.
Nice people. But dumb. Crazy.
* *
Question: As a recent resident
in Russia, what do you think the
Western world should do to count-
eract the effect of the satellite
Sputnick: Answer: So you jump
off a roof, gotta borrow money,
buy a house so I can jump off a
roof too?
* * * *
Question: Joe, do you think it's
possible for .the West and. Russia
to live' in peaceful: co -existence?
We're all brothers under the skin,
you know. Answer: Co -existence,
Schmoe-existencel 0 k a y. My
brother borrows my money, don't
say thanks. Steals my girl, dont
say sorry. I knock down a bully,
he kicks him. Calls me dirty name.
Under my skin he is, but not my
brother. Maybe he yoir• brother.
By me, is lousy bum.
* * *
Question: Is it true there are
millions of people in slave labour
camps in Russia? Answer: I don't
know millions. You remember
dumb Viodas, fat Chernikz, little
Mladov, in our prison camp? They
'come Russia with me, They ain't
driving Cadillacs around Red
Square, Moscow'. They cutting
trees near Tomsk.
* * *
,Question: Some experts say
there is a strong possibility the
Russian people will revolt and des-
troy theacommunist regime, as
they did the Czarist. What is
your opinien? Anawer: Oh sure.
Good chance. It happen same day
all fish in Canada jump up, pull
all -fishermen out of boat, drown
them.

Question: Joe, are the Russian
leaders concerned about raising
the standard of living of the
workers, giving them more food,
better living? Answer: Oh, sure!
You ask biggest pig at trough step
back, let little fellows have some.
What he do? He bite you on leg,

Question: Do you think we
Should try to reach the moon, and
possibly other planets, before the
Russians? Answer: Moon? For
what? That *makes the potatoes
grow? Let all Russians go to

The Bible Today
(By Rev. W. H. Moore)
The story of a 12ayear-old boy
who walked ten miles over a
/mountain path with a heavy load
of farm produce to exchange fpr a
Bible, has, been told bby the Rev.
Ina Young Bin, secretary of the
Korean Bible Society.
In a heavy snowfall the young
Korean suddenly appeared at a
church where Scriptures were be-
ing sold. He carried on his back a
half bushel of soy beans and a
half -(bushel of russet beans, to ex-
change for a Bible in the Korean
language,
For four years the boy tried to
save sufficient money to pay for a
Bible, but cash is scene amongst
Korean farmers. Then it was an-
nounced that the Bible Society
secretary would be in the area and
Would accept farm produce for his
books.
Over the inountains and through
a steep pass the 12 -year-old. tar-
ried his heavy load in the midst
of a snowstorm, so that he might
purchase a Bible for himself at
the low price made possible by the
subsidy from other Bible Societies,
