THE BIG CAMPAIGN
THE WHEELS- of the 'federal .election
machinery have gotten up to fell speed, in a
pattern which could almost have been preclietee
by any observer„
The Liberals are holding their high card;
Lester Pearson, the peace prize winner—who
somehow seems less impressive on TV, even to
strong Liberal followers, than they would lik4
to have him, He's, travelling under the slogans,
Peace, Employment ands "Tory Times are Hard
Times",
' The Prime Minister and his cohorts are
continuing the campaign which they waged last
spring, with increased confidence and Additional
ammunition. Me, Etiefenbaker can point to al-
most every action he has taken to fulfill his
promises, and say, "It took us eight months to
do, this—why couldn't the .Liberals have done
something of It in the last 22 years?" He is
travelling ender the slogans, Free Trade, Ens-
ployment, and Development 'of Cafiada from
North to South. • •
This latter idea of Mr. Diefenbaker's cor-
responds quite satisfactorily with the dream of
the great Sir John A, McDonald, who brought
about the Dominion of Canada--united from
east to west. At the same time it takes a
violent swing at the so-called toadying attitude
of the Liberals in the past, to the United States,
as regards, the development of Canada's north.
The Conservatives claim, and quite rightly, that
Canadians should be developing their own coun-
try, and they want to see that this is done,
With their leaders already at a cross-
Canada tour to strengthen the chances of the
party, the members of each riding in the Malin-
ion are now receiving their nominaiIons . and
Will wage battles of their owne
Though the contest between John and
Mike may become quite heated, it is hardly
likely that strong words will be passed between
the candidates •in the riding 'of Heron. In the
past the competitions have been waged without
name-calling or ungentlemanly tactics. The
opportunity for a similar campaign has been
offered the new Liberal candidate by veteran
Elston Cardiff, and it seems quite probable that
W.' G. Cochrane will take him up on it,
RESULTS OF CAMPAIGN
REMEMBER THE muscular dystrophy
campaign with which you helped the local
Firemen?
This campaign was carried out through-
out Ontario, and the familiar hour-glass money
collectors with the appealing little girl's picture
which accompanied it, collected $253,130.92. That
was the total at January 15.
There will be interest in figures of totals
collected by the Fire Departments throughout
the local area: Brucefield, $5; Clinton, $224.50;
. THE GO
PUT ALCOHOL with gasoline, add a
pinch of over-confidence, shake well at speed
. . and sooner or later the mixture will turn
to blood. The change is instantaneous, and ir-
revocable— werns the Ontario Safety League.
The good driver realizes precisely the
danger-effects of alcohol; he knows themeas-
tire of the enemy. He knows that excessive
confidence is the catalyst in the deadly mixture.
Alcohol slaws up reactions; impairs sight and
hearing; fogs judgment; disorganizes habit sys-
tems. Other adverse conditions can also give
rise to these driver-deficiencies—e.g. bad weath-
er, toothache, emotion—but they are not nearly
as dangerous if the element of super-confidence,
induced by alcohol, is absent.
Exeter, $35.15; Goderieh, $61.50; Hensall, $32;
Listowel, $142.31; Lucan, $52.27; Mitch9, $162.-
93; Seaforth, $79; and Milverton, $198.29.
It is a pleasure to note the interest taken
by local folk in the plight of • those unfortunates
who suffer from muscular dystrophy, and
congratulations are in order for the fire depart-
ment, who, after all, conducted the campaign
here, and brought the need for funds clearly
before the people,
OP DRIVER
In fact a driver can adjust his perfeam-
ances, by reducing speed and using extra care,
to compensate fully for any adverse driving con-
ditions; except the state of mind that has lost
fear-of-consequences, an inevitable effect of al-
cohol, and certain drugs.
Even the smallest quantity of alcohol is
potentially dangerous. A little may be worse
than a lot. The befuddled drunk who assesses
his own condition and weaves homeward slowly
in second gear, using back streets, may be less
dangerous than the man who has "just had -a
couple" but expresses his feeling of exhiliration
by doing 70 m.p.h. through city streets, Though
both equally deserve jail!

The Bible Todayi
From Korea •comes the story of
a young boy who worked from
early morning until late at night
to make 453 feet of straw rope,
with which to purchase a New
Testament in Korea.
The Bible Society was happy to
make the exchange, since cash is
scarce in Korea, and the Society
put the rope to good use in bind-
ing up cartons of Scriptures which
were being shipped by rail.
The Korean Bible Society,
which is supported by the British
and Foreign Bible Society and
the American Bible Society, rec-
ently published the first complete
Bible in Korean Blaille for the
blind.

The Editee:
Re; the Ci3C Broadcasting
First, for heaven's sake, feed us
something besides blaring record-
ed music, good, bad and indif-
ferent, morning, noon and night.
We realize it is easy for the CI3C
to Pet on these recordings, but
have mercy! Everyone doesn't
love Teeorded music to the exclu-
sion of recorded happenings—our
political affairs for instanee.
Today the CRC base been at it,
after the early news, this whole
Sunday morning, We hopefully
turned on CML only to be again
deluged by some concerto qr other.
Our brain is saturated with music.
No, this is not just ignorance; it
is pure nervous reaction to con-
tinued sound, Please give us
some quiet debate, at least half of the time. We're just plain sick of
the 013C.
Second, the CBC seems to be
purely Liberal in politics — and
maybe no wonder after so many years of Liberal ownership. How-
ever, the last election should have
proved to you that all Canadians
are not Liberals, - Please broad
cast accordingly, therefore.
Yours truly,
