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!

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.
