Bayfield, with its quiet beauty and excellent facilities for boating, swimming and just plain relaxing, is considered by hundreds' of "summer people" from the cities to be the best home possible, away from home. But at the main intersection of Clinton there is ne sign to direct the travellers to the lake village. We might as well be situated in the middle of the Sahara desert. Here, at the hub of the county, where two WE HAVE BEEN quite embarrassed, though pleasantly so, by the many kind people who sympathised with us over our recent court appearance. We hasten to thank them for their concern and sincerely hope we may never occasion such ,,concern again. Actually, the magistrate was but doing his duty. by the law, when he asked for our ap- pearance, and we feel •badly that our negligence made it necessary. The duty of the press to the public is, we feel, a serious one. In the case of a jury trial, SKILL IS THE one essential of good driv- ing that the new driver thinks all-important. He concentrates jealously — and self-consciously — on the acquisition and demonstration of Skill. He seldom puts any conscious effort into the development of the other good-driving essen- tials . . .

Certain tests were tarried out in a Toronto suburb, and 80 percent of the youngsters flunked. Spokesmen say that similar tests given European children found only eight percent were failures.

Within a short time after that, the ex, hibits had received the same attention, We are happy to side with one of the men at the fair, who - said in praise, "Yon have a wonderful organization here. I mean it. wonderful." provincial highways intersect and fe county road leads off to the lake, to Bayfield, to Goder- ich and the famed Blue Water Highway, there are only signs pointing out towns on the pro- vincial highways, Perhaps the provincial authorities feel it not their responsibility. Perhaps it is the job of the County. All too likely neither one has even noticed the lack of a sign pointing to Bayfield. We rather hope that something can be done for the sake of the motorist. when influence by statements in the press might have some bearing on their findings, the with- holding of comment is particularly important. Though in our Particular case, it is very un- likely that We could influence the decision of the magistrate, he, nevertheless, could not be expected to look lightly 'upon the situation.

The answer is also provided by the Sports College, in what it calls a special fitness pack- age for kids, and , for their - parents.

It could be fun. pay, and opportunity in the United States. Shirley Harmer has done it recently—others in show business, and in other lines of work, have been doing it for years.

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.

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." JAMES R.
