Sure It WilI Count •
NEXT MONDAY more than in any
election of recent years, each vote in
Huron. Riding will mean a good deal.
In the case where there is only a
two-party contest, then, if you and your
wife vote on Opposite sides, you really
might, just as well both stay at home,
Not so in a four -party contest.
Majority for any one party may be a
fairly slim one, and every vote will
count.
This business of voting isimport-
ant for other reasons, too, of course. It
stands for the democratic way of life.
It IS the democratic way of life. This
is the voter's chance to say what he
wants, Four years ago, Canadians made
a definite decision. Now they are being
given a chance to re -affirm that de-
cision, or to modify it, or to reservelt.
This is your chance to get into the
' act. It is your opportunity to have a
voice in building a fine nation among'
those of the Commonwealth and of the
world.
Personally we get a terrific thrill
out of hearing the votes announced the
night of the election, knowing that in
such and such a total, our one "X" on
a ballot that we watched drop into the
slot in the top of a sturdy ballot box,
placed on the teacher's desk in the
small rural school on the second of
Stanley Township, has been counted and
added into the grand total which sup-
ports the candidate we have chosen.
Then, whether our own personal
choice is the choice of the riding, or not,
then we can continue to be thrilled over
the results of the election across
Canada. First comes the.news of New-
foundland and the Maritimes, for their
ballot labxes.' close Brat, and are counted
and made available to the nation. Then
the sweep acrossthe Dominion, from
sea to sea, with the chosen candidate
from Huron riding added in with all
the others.
That's one night when the TV
aerial had better do a good job of pick-
ing up the impressions on the air waves,
and the impersonal picture 'screen do a
good job of bringing us the picture!
We recall election night in 1958.
Remember? When Elston Cardiff was
far ahead of his Liberal .opposition,
(majority over 6,000) and the victory
parade began, and he went from his
farm home in Brussels to Wingham TV,
then down through Blyth to Goderich
and to Clinton—and the Bannockburn
Pipers and Seaforth Brass Band were
out to greet him, andsupporters led him
in a grand march from the main corner
down Albert Street to the corner of
Princess and back again!
It was a grand night, indeed, and
the horns tooted, and people ran about,
and laughed and carried on. And the
defeated candidate came like the maii
he was, and still is, and congratulated
the winner, and the cavalcade left for
Zurich and on to Exeter.
We had a gay time trying to keep
in touch via the TV screen with the
Canada picture, yet get in on all of
the excitement here on main street.
Will it be like that again? Well,
of course it will. Whether their ehoice
is Conservative, Liberal, NDP, 9r Social
Credit the voters will have elected a
man that day who will represent them
in the parliament buildings at Ottawa,
and bring honour to the riding. The
excitement on that night will be as
always in Huron riding—gay and noisy
and full of satisfaction.
Visit Huronview
If you want some relaxation,
Or you're feeling rather blue,
Just take a trip to . Clinton
And visit Huronview.
The doors are always open
And the welcome mat is out.
Our friendly superintendent
Will greet you without doubt.
Our efficient staff of nurses
Are the best in any land.
For courtesy and kindness
They never fail to take a stand.
You will meet with many people
In the evening of their life,
Who have paid their contribution
To this world of care and strife.
Their steps are getting feeble,
And their heads are turning white,
And they are patiently awaiting
The call of the coming night.
So when Gabriel sounds'the trumpet,
We shall answer "Here ,am I,
Lead me gently onward,
To the home beyond the sky."
—By R. H. Leishman.
SUGAR and SPICE
In trying to decide who was
going to win this election, I
was completely barefoozled by
reading the newspapers. and
political commentators. Do you
know something? Those birds
don't have a clue. After a lot
of hedging, a barrage of "ifs"
and "buts", they ;invariably con-
clude that the Government will
be returned "with a reduced
majority."
About eight times out of ten
they can't help but be right, lae-
cantle the Government it :always
in the favored position of the
champion taking en the chal-
lenger, And when they are
wrong, it's quickly fOrgotten in
the •general htillabeloo.
These peognosticators are not
sonlething new. They have been
braying like jackasses ever
Maybe Confederation. And they
are jest as pompous, jest as in -
,lent and juat as oaten wrong
tOday as they were then.

The Liberals, ignoring Con-

The New Democratie Party(
faeing its first test as coalition
of farmaabor-socialist forces,
bore down !heavily on unem-
ployment, the need for govern-
ment medical insurance, and
the appeal of Tommy Doggies
for an "independent Canadian
foreign policy dedicated to eas-
ing internation;e1 tension,"
And the Social Credit Party,
hoping to pick up right wing
support which may have desert-
ed the Coeservatives, sent its
national leader, Robert Thomp-
son., into the homestretch with
the declaration that "Social
Credit is the tractor which can
tow the tountry back to 'free

BLAMES LIBERALS
Mr. Diefenbaker blamed the
violence on "rehearsed opposi-
tion actions" and said "I love
heckling but intimideation of
those participating in public life
is another tatin,g."
Mr. Pearson denied Liberal
responsibility and said he de-
plored the outbursts. "It humili-
ates all of us as Canadians,"
he added.
Tommy Douglas suggested
the rowdarisin, was "a spontan-
eous outburst by unemployed
people who are 'bitterly resent-
ful ibecause they have been be-
trayed."
As •the party leaders continu-
ed to fight the issue, unem-
ployment, dollar devaluation,
deficits and economic growth
were still the main talking
points.
The prime minister, in a
national TV address, forecast
unemployonent (at Present
about 500,000) would be elimin-
ated this summer. .
"I predict before the end
of the summer, as present
trends continue, that unem-
ployment will have reached
level which will constitute,
In the opinion of practically
every economist, full em-
ployment for Canadians."
Dollar devaluation showed
greater impact aa prices in a
variety :of fieldls ,started to
climb, including bread, gaso-
aeld eVeraeas air travel.

would mean wage ad profit

Mr. Pearson Appeared to
have been eaught off base or
a 'charge that "a noyaterrious"
.$62 manna ws bororwed by
Canada from foreign' banks to
prop up the dollar. The Pal
denied this, saying it was rou-

Canada was thrcregh expansion-
ist policies of easy money and

Social Credit leader Robert
Thompson, at rallies in Mont-
real and Toronto, said defi-
cits, taxation, Halation, in-
efficient trade policies and
dollar devaluation make up
the record of the Conserva-
tives.

ELECTION GUIDEPOSTS
With the polls cloaing Mon-
day night in Newfoundland five
and one-half hours before the
Yukon, Canada may be in for
a long spell of suspense before
it knows wihat :government it
will have after June 18tat.
Unless- one of the parties
builds up a commanding lead
midway through vokacounting
in the east—and ;this is un-
likely—the final result may mat
be known until most west, coast
polls are heard from.
But there are some guide-
posts which can be watched
aaring the evening, and the
direction in which they point
could be a tip-off to the
outcome.

Messages To Huron Voters
Following aim three articles published free of charge in the interests of
supplying readers with information ab out candidates in the June 18 election.
Space on this page has been offered to each of the four candidates.
Liberal
Four years ago the time had
come to get rid of a Liberal
government and to elect a Pro-
gressive Conservative adminis-
tration under Mr. Diefenbtaker.
The Liberals had been long
enough in orifice — too long
many said — it was time to
see what a new broom could
do. Consequently, with an over-
whelming majority the 'Cana-
dian! people voted Mr. Dieter',
baker into office with 208 seats
in a House of Commons of 265,
the largest majority any Party
:had ever had in Ottawa.'
Whether the majority was
too big—whether Mr. Diefean
heater and, his followers were
caught up by the many captious
and arresponsible statements
which, naturally -enough, they
had given way to in the long
years of :opposition the results
have been disappointing. The
conviction today is that the
best interests 'of the country
would he served by returning
the Liberal Party, under Mir.
Pearson, to power.
This, is not to say that the
Conservative Party has not
done some useful things. They
have in some cases, instituted
ad,clitional payments for social
services, :although the original
legislation, was implemented by
former Liberal governments. It
has been the misfortune, per-
haps, of the Conservatives to
hold office for four year:a dur-
ing which time it &came
quickly obvious that Canada, to
meet the terms of a rapidly
changing world, had to face
radical re-acljustrnents,—'a time
when leadership, strong and
aggresave leadership was re -
quitted. But, ladies and 'gentle-
men, in all major policiet such
as unemployment, trade, de-
fence, fiscal and monetary
policy, there has been no line
worthy of the name. There
thas been procrastination con-
tradiction anal frustration to an
=paralleled degree. Canada has

New Democrat
Much as we dislike using up
space for refuting the Com-
munist label that is being pin-
ned on our party, we feel we
must.
Thinking people will realize
that if the Communist Party
is so weak in Canada that only
a token number of candidates
can be found and they have
no hope of election it is only
reasonable to conclude that
Communist support will defeat
any new party. It is for this
purpose that the Communist
Party is so determined to sup-
port the New Democratic Party.
Communism has never yet
made an impression on any
country having a democratic
government. Communism has
come only to countries where
the masses have suffered ex-
treme oppression at the hands
of a few, whether it be the
Czars of Russia or the financial
barons of Cuba.
Government by the people,
such as the New Democratic
Party hopes to establish, will
rain the Communist Party in
Canada.
You have heard much about
the cost of a medical health
plan but let us remember that
medical care costs the people
of Canada a lot of money at
present. As yet we have never
heard preventative medicine
mentioned. In the past two
months we have heard of two
cases where it is very likely
that a trip to the doctor for a
bad cold would have made a
ten day stay in hospital for
pleurisy and pneumonia un-
necessary. We could well ex-
pect that our total medical bill
will be decreased by the full
use of preventative medicine
under a national medical care
plan.
On the nuclear arms question
we would retake a special appeal
to the women of our country.
You suffer even more than men
from this threat. When there
were ohly two cars in the rid,
ing we didn't Worry much about
a eollisioh, but now with every
Tom, Diek ahd Harry driving
4 car we have acciderna every
day. If Canada insists an nu-
clear arms, ;then almost every
country in the world can be
expected te get there and all
accident is inevitable. The New
Democratic Party is determined
that Canada will not lead the
wOrld to distruction, by obtain-
ing nuclear wins.
HOwever the real question
that you must ahawer wheri yoto
mark your ballot Was neatly
put at the Ontario NW Demo-
cratic Patty founding conven-
tion last fell when yeur Huron
County candidate asked "DO the
people of Canada Went to Carltrol their gOvernment thrtaugh
the New Democratic Party or

by the financial interest that
set the polio ancl aupply the

Our New Dernocratic Party
candidates have been forced to
find ways of neakhig even a
"biefenbeek" go a long, long
Way , We are eine that they
will use the Saline care in spnd-
irig Maley when they get
ter Ottawa.
