However, we have come through a Period of particularly bad'motor vehicle accidents which have taken the lives ,of Clinton people, and that is tragic, whe- ther they occur within the borders of Clinton, or wherever they happen. Within the past six weeks, a total of seven Clinton people have been killed either pear here or within the pray- . Wherever one traVels, wherever one reads, there's trouble over roads in the making. Highway 4 north of Clinton is in particularly .good shape considering everything. Highway 4 south of Ex- eter, has come to a halt because of a fin- ancial problem on the part of the con- tractor. The I3luewater Highway north of Grand Bend, is, we understand, •in rough shape. We read in recent daily newspapers of the angen'of people in Newfoundland that their end of 'the Trans Canada Highway is not complete yet, and they are "boycotting" the cavalcade which started, a dozen cars strong from that eastern edge of Canada for a 6,000 mile trek across the country to Vancouver, and the other end of the Trans Canada. We're off for vacation for one whole week, and we hope all our readers miss us very much. A period of seven days doesn't seem very long for, a vacationer, but to some- one who may, be reading the news from home, a missed issue of the Home Paper can be a very, serious thing. So, although we hope you 'miss us, don't worry if there is no News-Record (Exeter CANADIANS, in reflection, must be diSturbed over the recent election. Our public conscience cannot overlook the stark, dishonesty which characteriz- ed the contest. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, with all his evangelistic fervor, assured the voters of this country time and time again there was no economic problem. He suggested Canada was entering, a great new era of prosperity. He scoffed at his opponents' charges' of financial difficulties and made light of the causes behind the dollar devaluation. He prom- ised much public spending financed through vigorous national growth. Not a month after the election, the prime minister announced his crash austerity. program to restore confidence in the Canadian, dollar. Some apologists suggested the crisis developed after the election but' one of us can 'be so naive as to believe it. One reluctantly 'and agonizingly realizes that the prime min- ister conducted a deliberate campaign of misrepresentation. He knowingly misled and deceived the citizens to whom he is responsible. How can any- one interpret it otherwise? Were the Liberals more honest? They had advocated devaluation of the dollar some time before yet they ex- ploited the disadvantageous effects of this very policy to get votes. Can a party have integrity when it preys on such expediency, regardless of principle, to gain power? The NDPs promised the impossible, full employment; the "credistes" in Quebec said you don't have to under- stand their policy to vote for' it. Do we simply overlook this blatant dishonesty by saying disgustedly, "That's politics"? Must be resign our- selves 'to expect unprincipled behaviour from our political leaders? No, we can- ince--:all on the highways. Thisis More deaths in less time than were lost in either of the World Wars; There is 4 long weekend coming up. Many people will be on the high- ways heading for a holiday in the sun. Let's try to make it a safe weekend, with no more deaths to record in this area, at least. , We would suggest ---if you have no place in particular to go, then do your part by staying at home. That's one less car to add to the congested highways, If you planned a holiday away from home,-then drive with care and caution. The life you save may well be your OW.11. Well, the fact is, that highways are not born, They' are made. There's a lot of gravel shifted and cement and tile laid, even on level ground, and 'though mountainous or otherwise treacherous country, the time, consumed is some- thing terrific. Sure, the roads are a mess, while they are in progress,' Sure, they, don't last for ever. , We'd hardly expect them to. But the road,s in Can- ada are a fine lot better than they ever have been, Qr than .our parents ever dreamed they would, be. We' Should be thankful for modern engineering processes, and the pros- perity in our nation which' has allowed all the building to continue. When com- pleted these roads will be a pleasure. Until then, lets us have patience with the men and machines who are labour- ing in our behalf. in the mail box a week from now. Think of us newspaper people enjoying a good rest on the beach, far from the madding throngs of Albert and Victoria Streets, where the kind of weather nature is supplying means more than whether "enterprise" should or should not be spelt "enterprize." Courage, dear readers, we will re- turn again soon. not. If democracy and freedom are worth something—and thousands have laid down their lives to preserve it— then we must demand integrity from the politicians who make democracy work. What is short of that rats the foundation of our way of life.
