The future, in Clinton looks excit- ing to vs. Worst Accommodation In general conversation last weel< with a district official in the post office department, we had occasion to ask just how badly Clinton needs a new post office. I This was after we knew that the men who do the sorting of mail going through this post office, had won a province -wide competition for effic- iency. The official said: "Clinton has the worst accommodation of any Grade 9 post office in London District, or in South Western Ontario, for that mat- ter." That our post office.staff can turn out excellent work in these surround- ings, is a marvel to us, and we feel that the community should be aware that they are working under. a disad- vantage. Weare deeply appreciative of the "above the call of duty" service which they give when called upon to do so. The Bold Brave Hunter The hunter With his tent and gun Was such a big brave fellow. He wore such bright anddashing clothes Red parits and shirt, of yellow. While stalking through the forest He spied a mountain cat. He raised his trusty rifle And straightened up his hat. He had the lion within his, sights And could have shot him dead! But ashe pulled the trigger, Mother called him in to bed!! —G.H.F.

ATTACKS PLAN Mr. Diefenbaker began last week�g ;campaign in Quebec wherehe ran, into beckling oveir lack of -a Canadian flag, then went on, to Saint John, N.B. for 11as firstbig' rally. A crowd of 1,200 heard him attack Mr Pearson's proposal that Canada exten,d its fishing limit to 12 ,miles. "Guriboat diplomacy," the P.M Called it, "Are you go- ing tostatiml, -armed forces and naval units �a)ong the coast to enforce it?" In, HaRfax, Mrs. Diefenbaker revealed more detail's of his plan for a Maritime develop- ment board that would, work toward more indu%try and A sounder economy for the region. In the smaller centres, 1 New Brunswick and Nova Sco- -tia Mr. Pearson drew laeger cr�iwds than the PM. Their paths crogsed at one point where their cavalcades, travel- ling in opposite directions, r0ar- ed pot each -other on Ine highway near New Glasg0w, N.S Also starting the week, in Quebec, MTi Pearson spoke fluently in French, in, contrast to the 1958 campaign when he spoke no French. He charged the Conservative regime as "not good, enough" for Canada and promised, a distinctive Canadian flag within two years of taking o0fice. A crowd of 450 in Dalhousie, N,B., hear 'Mr. Pearson pro- mlige to restore theprinciple of equa,lizatiorl p*rAenits in dom� inion-provittial tax agreements, He also denied PC claims that Ottawals string of deficits- was cjiue mainly to Increased aid -to the provinces.
