A task without -a vision is drudgery
A vision without a task is a dream
A task with (x vision is victory,
Sorry Ifs. Too Close
Hxcitement which built up through
out the weeks past, and culminatedon
election night, somehow ended late
Monday night in deflation ' and anti-
climax,
'There is a terrific element of
chance involved when a nation provides
an opportunity for hundreds of people
to stand for election and calls upon
people in an area of four million square
miles stretching from sea to sea, to
make a choice --a wise choice—and a
definite choice.
Canadians possibly measured up to
the first two requirements, but most
certainly we did not come up with a
definite choice.
Though the Conservatives have
more seats than any other party, they
did not have more than 50 percent of
the poular vote. Nor have they manag-
ed to obtain a majority in the house,
in order to provide a "strong" govern-
ment.
Possibly good will, result. Ideally,
we would ponder the worth of having
people's choice from each riding, sup-
porting in the House at Ottawa, those
things for. which they feel are right,
and thus showing the wishes of the
people' whom they represent.
Politicians say that this can not
be done. Probably they are right. If so,
then it seems inevitable that there will
be another election in Canada within a
short time.
We cannot see a coalition between
the Conservatives and Social Credit,
except on a very temporary basis. That
seems the only coalition . which would
provide the needed strength.
Unless, of course, the Conservatives
and Liberals would decide to agree?
Anonymity
Travelling under a cloak will get no
one anywhere,
We continually make use of the
waste -basket to reject letters to . this
page, which are not signed. We cannot
undertake to publish the words, how-
ever sensible they may seem to us, un-
less we know who wrote them—unless
they are signed.
During 'the past election campaign
in Huron there was an element of which
we have not been aware in past elec-
tions in this riding. Someone (travel-
ling under the name "Huron Betterment
League") spent money and time to dis-
tribute a leaflet which did thein no.
good. How could anyone take particular
' notice of the leaflet when they did not
know from whence it came, who was
responsible, what the object was?
Anonymity, whether in every -day
communication, or during elections is
a weak, tiresome hood under which a
man can try making information public.
It just does not do the job. •

Stone and Brick —^- 100 Years Service
Built in 1862 from bricks made by a negro named Mosul and his son Charles,
Turner's United Church stands firm on stone foundations hauled by William
Gibbings for the purpose. Complete cost was $2,300. Through the years the
adjacent cemetery was used by familie s in the congregation to inter their dead.

SUGAR and SPICE
Things have been so s'nramb-
ly around our place in the past
couple of weeks that I still
dent know who wore the elec-
tion. I've been . too 'busy with
irrpoctantt things.
Kim knocked off two third's
and two fourth at the field
day, and came home mad as
blazes because she hadn't
placed fiarst in all events. She
takes .after her mom. She also
tried a grade seven piano exam,
with accompanying panic. She
also went picking strawberries
for a farmer and made $1.04.
She also lost her Christmas
watch while swimming rand wan
cut off her bike and allowance
for two weeks, which was pure
herd for 'all concerned. •
Hugh came up wilds a start-
ling climax to a year of hard
work art his piano. Every morn-
ing he got up at seven to prac-
tise, and added' another couple
of hours ,later in the day. All
his Saturdays were taken up
by a trip to the city for his
lesson. As a result he missed
a lot of parties and ski meets
and other adolescent fun. But
he wasn't feeling any pain when
the results of his grade 10 piano
exam arrived this week and he
learned he'd received 'the dearly;
fantastic mark of 90 which
threw his old' lady into a .State
of near -hysteria arid his old
man into a dangerous case of
parental pride.
* * *
I bade farelvel'1 to my
students at school, and it was
an emotional ordeal. On the
last day of school, some ;bene-
volent old fairy waves a magic
wand. The grim -lipped teacher
suddenly becomes a tender-
hearted old trout ' who wasn't
so bad after all. The sullen
students, the lazy louts, even
the class cut -ups, are suddenly
transformed into a group of the
nicest youngsters you could
meet.
(By W. B. T. SMILEY)
And when they sing, "For
He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and
present you with a beautiful
shirt and tie, and those, who
are leaving school• come up and
shake hands with you and some
little grirl waits until the others
have gone and tearfully bluets
out art you, "Thanks for a
WONDERFUL year, sir," and
some dreadful boy who has har-
assed you all' year says, "Sure
hope I have you next year,
sir," it's pretty hard' to main-
tain the god-likeimperturba-
bility of the teacher.
Maybe I'm just imagining
things, rand 1 certainly would'n't
come out with it back in Febru-
ary, but I think there's a special
band between young •people and
their 'teachers. Not all of the
kids feel it, and 'some teachers
don't. But it's there +andeihiough
different, it's just as real as
the bond between parents and
their children'.
* *
With the students, I think
it's a slaw realizattiion that the
teacher is a human being, all
evidence to the contrary. And
with the teacher, I 'think it's
a slow realization that the
students are human beings,
despite what his eyes and ears
tell hiern.
When this mutual realization
begins to work, communication
quickens, The kids decide that
this man or woman is actually
concerned with improving their
ability and knowledge, not just
making life miserable for them.
The 'teacher decides that most
of these kids are doing their
best, in the face of their private
fears and furores, their dbmes-
ttic upsets, their love affairs, and
their complicated human natur-
es.
It's a pleasant thing, and a
good ,thing. In some cases it'a
the only good and warm rela-
tionship in the lives of both.
However, we'll explore that
another time, To get back to
the chaos at the Smileys, we
bought a .new house this month.
Twelve 'dollars down and 12
dollars a day for life. Before
the ink was dry on the contract,
the old woman was waving
samples of linoleum, wall paper
and drapery at me, demanding
an opinion:.
* * *
As always, I remarked
equably about each sample,
"That looks pretty good 'to me."
This sensible, reasonable, co-
operative attitude, for !some
reason, infuriates her. "You
don't even . care!" she howls,
"You'd live in a pig pen! Have
you no taste, no desire to make
your home decent?"
By this time I am thoroughly
cowed. I 'haven't the nerve to
say what X .think: that the place
looks' fine the way it is, and,
anyway, we can't afford It So
I point to one of the little
squares and suggest, "How
about that nice green 'there?"
It turns .out to be turquoise,
and it also turns out to be the
only one of the lot that clashes
",hideously" with everything in
the room.
Never mind, I think we're
saved. She's gone off on a
gardening tangent. It doesn't
matter that it's the middle of
June. It doesn't matter that,
in the 15 years of our marriage,
she's never planted anything ex-
cerpt an arms ai crop of pointed
remarks. She's going to have
a garden, if it kills me.
Yes, it's been a rather frantic
couple of weeks. Even the one
spat that might have created a
moment of domestic calm and
restored household unity—Fath-
er's Day—was ruined when I
tore the fancy •p'a'per off what
looked like a new fishing rod
and discovered it was a shiny,
new garden hoe.
Bloc Voting Brings Minority Gov't
(By RAY ARGYLE)
Canadians voted by blocs in
Monkliay''s general election with
the..resudat that Prune Mintisttere
John Diefenbaker's Progressive
Conservative gbvernrnient will
have to depend en Social Credit
support ,to maintain a 'tenuous
