Ontario Department of .Agriculture working here

to be the best home possible, away from home.

Letters to the Editor:
ABOUT THE OBC
The Editor,
Clinton News-Record,
Would it be out of order should
a humble radio listener give Mr,
Ira Dilworth a tip?' OK then,
Could it not be possible for the
1:MC to put on an exclusive Can-
adian affairs program (full 15 minutes) at least once in' a while?
Instead they go into detailed
coverage of the doings of foreign
countries. That is OK, too, but
we in Canada, especially at elec-
tion 'time, are hankering after
news of the doings of ourselves.
This morning, for Anstance, on
CBL Preview, newscasts not once
mentioned Canadian affairs—all
foreign.
Or is it, perhaps, that nothing
ever happens in Canadian affairs,
worthy of mention by the great
OBC? It being your job, please
inform us, Mr. Dilworth.
Yours truly,
"MAC"
Clinton, Ontario,
March 7, 1958.
ON THE LIBERAL SIDE
The Editor, .
Clinton News-Record,
We noticed that .you invited let-
ters from both sides of the pres-
ent election campaign, so here
goes:
In the Nineties it was the Nat-
ional Policy Conservatives. They
changed it to the Liberal Conser-
vatives; that did not sound good,
so they changed it to Progressive
Conservatives, but now the old
Conservative has dropped out of
sight, and it is the John Diefert-
baker party—a one man party.
Would you like this kind of par-
ty to run our country? Before
they get into power, we heard a great deal of how he would blast
his' way into the Anierican mar-
ket, but John's powder must have
got wet, as we have not heard'
that blast yet.
Since he. got into power, he said
he would take 15 percent of 'the
American trade away and give it
to England. And he came down
to Toronto and sat down with
Leslie, and got Jimmie Duncan
away on a trade commission to
Engiand—a $30,000 man, and may-
be a half a boat-load of lesser t -
pes. Now we would like to know March 11, 1958. ,

Clinton people were not without
personal interest in the earth-
quake in California last Friday
who had tp pay these men, or if
they got what they were used to
getting here. If we did we would
expect a lot of big orders for buy--
ing, or the farmer would be out
on the deal, but when England of-
fered them free trade they shied
clear and that was the last we
heard of the trade commission.
We heard a great deal about
the pipeline when they were try-
ing to put .it through, Now the
Tories held up Parliament for 16
days and they never said whether
they were for it or against it. Now
Mr. Cardiff says it takes $1,000'
an hour to run Parliament, so if
the members work as Long hours
as the 'farmers, some of you can
figure up what the pipeline hold-
up cost us.
They never had much to say
about "Louie," only that he
squeezed the pennies, but that was
not a bad thing, as people were
spending money like drunken
sailors, and thought it would nev-
er end. I was beginning to think
a lot of "Louie", as I thought they
were turning him into a Scotch-
man, and you know how clannish
the Scotch are.
' Now when "John the Baptist"
got into power, he never' had any
money to spend, and Louie's nest
egg went to his head, and he soon
got rid of it. And we don't know
how much more, as he was afraid
to bring down a budget to show
what he had spent.
True, lie raised the pension to
$55, but don't forget that it was
the Liberals that put on the baby
bonus, which has done more good
to help raise a family than any-
thing else.
This election should• never have
been called. The Liberals only
criticised some of the measures
that were brought down, but John
thought it was a good time to
bring on the election. • He don't
need• to try to put it on anybody
else's shoulders for he is the only
one to call it.
Mr. Cardiff has been our rep-
resentative for 18 years, and what
have we got "0". So don't expect
too much for now when the Tories
are in power all he got was a
"herd laddie's job."
