ON TO BENGASI
The Italian army in Libya has met
defeat on two very important instanc
es. At Bardia the forces of Britain
gave the town such a pounding that
it is reported the defenders were ov
erwhelmed when the troops attacked'
to take this stronghold. On top of
this, another very strongly fortified
point, Tobruk, has been captured.
Bardia was a fine victory but the cap
ture of Tobruk' was magnificent as it
has a wonderful harbor and a water
supply which is so necessary in desert
fighting. Already the forces of the
Empire have plunged farther forward
and it is not too optimistic to hope
.that in the near future Bengasi will
be taken. When it is the Italian forc
es in Libya will be dissipated. Ben
gasi. is a much more important loca
tion than Tobruk as it would form a
base from which operations could be
carried on by air against 'Italy and Sic
ily. This position would also be a big
aid in the protection of Malta. Mar
shall Graziani, Italian leader in Libya,
has withdrawn further to the rear,
quitting his post at Cirene to form a
headquarters which is unknown to the
air force who were making a vicious
attack on Cirene. The success of the
fight in Libya is most heartening not
only because the Empire is winning
|^t it shows that the same British
%#urit that formed the mighty Empire
is as great or greater than at anytime
in our history. The Empire will fight
on to victory. An invasion of Britain
is expected, according to reports, in
side of a few months and there is no
doubt but that the Island Fortress will
give the invaders a terrific reception.
The army, navy, air force and civilian
population are ready to do their duty.

A GOOD MOVE
Premier Hepburn has intimated that
at the next session of the legislature
consideration would be giyen to abol
ishing the procedure which forces sit
ting members of the provincial legis
lature to face a bye-election upon- ele
vation to the Cabinet. The selection
of Hon, F. R. Oliver as minister of
Public Works has brought this oft-
discussed subject in the limelight at
the present time. A bye-election will
be held in Mr, Oliver’s riding of Grey
South on February 24th if he does not
receive an acclamation at the nomina
tions February 17th. If such legisla
tion is adopted we believe it will meet
„with the approval of the vast majority
of the people of the province. It
seems a foolish thing to send a man
back to a riding that already has en
dorsed him for their further approval
■during the period for which he was
elected. ,Mr. Oliver will be the young
est member of the Cabinet as he is 36
years old. He is not so young in leg
islative experience however, as he was
elected in 1926 and has been a mem
ber since that time. He will add
strength to the farm representation on
the Cabinet. It was thought by many
that he would be appointed minister
of agriculture after the last election
but now he pops up as minister of
public works.

POLITICS HAS NO PLACE
IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
(Durham Chronicle)
We notice over in Huron County
they were electing a Warden for 1941,
and the news from Goderich gave the
information that this year it was the
turn of a Liberal to get the big posi
tion. The high hono-ur alternates be
tween the Liberal and Conservative
parties.
No doubt they get along all right
in Huron, but we would not like to
see a similar system in Grey. In this
county the Wardenship alternates gen
erally between urban and rural muni
cipalities, but.there is no politics in
their selection.
Somehow or other we don’t like the
idea of politics creeping into municipal
elections. This has never been the
case in Durham and we have managed
to get along pretty well. In our 1941
Council we checked them over politic
ally and find we can recognize three
Tories and three Grits on the board.
Two of them we cannot identify with
any political party. We have known
Council in Durham to have majorities,
in both parties, but this condition just
happened.
There might be more excitement,
but we do not want any municipal
contests. run on the party politicos
basis. This year we have five mem
bers of the United Church, two Angli
cans and one Presbyterian. Of eight
members we find that five of them are
of Scottish descent, which s,hould not
surprise anyone who knows Durham;
the other three we cgn’t tabulate and
“Will have to put them down as mere
Canadians,
Durham gets along well " with its
Councils. At election time the electors
do nbt stop to think of the political
party, church or nationality of the .can
didates, but mark their ballots for the
man they think can best carry on the
town’s business. We believe this is
the best way, and hope we shall never
depart from it.
... it is going to demand more effort,
more sacrifice and far more change
in our daily lives • •

ALREADY the pattern and pace .of life in Canada
> have undergone a profound change. Gaps in
employment are rapidly filling up. Some 350,000
Canadians who were unemployed before the outbreak
of war are now employed. Another 200,000 are with
our armed forces. Factories, which until recently were
turning out goods for civilian consumption, have been
transformed into humming arsenals, pouring out in
struments of war. Night and day shifts have become
the rule rather than the exception. But the peak of
effort is not yet in sight.
In 1941 still more factories will switch to war produc
tion ... new plants will be established, thousands more
will be employed.. This rising tide of activity must
continue until we reach the flood of effort when every
Canadian will be employed and working to his utmost,
every possible square inch of plant will be utilized,
every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging
against time and the enemy.
This is not enough. The plain truth is that Canada’s
rapidly expanding production for war purposes will
require increasing sums of money. That is why the
Prime Minister warned Canadians in his New Year’s
broadcast that the year ahead demands more effort
and more sacrifice.
Every man, woman and child is asked to lend. Every
dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job
. . . making more munitions. Every dollar you lend
may save a soldier’s life . . . help to shorten the war.
Small wage earners must carry their share of the
burden, too.
No one need go without necessities, but you are urged
to forego the purchase of unnecessary articles . . .
however small the cost ... no matter how well you
are able to pay for them . . . which take labour and
material away from the great task of providing goods
needed to win the war.
More men are working . . . working longer hours . . .
making more munitions . . . earning more money . . .
producing more goods . . . putting more money into
circulation. Most Canadians are sharing in this in
creased national wealth — have extra dollars in their
pockets.
The effort the Prime Minister calls for is gaining
momentum, but many Canadians, as individuals, have
not yet felt tfie real pinch of sacrifice.
Canadians of all classes are sharing tax burdens, but
it must be admitted that up to date the larger part of
the money needed for Canada’s war effort has come
from business firms and individuals with large
" incomes. They are paying high taxes. They have
already invested heavily in War Loan Bonds.
This is your war. Everything you have . . . everything
you believe in ... is now at stake. This is a message
to you ... a challenge to every Canadian ... a call to
the colours ... a call for volunteers.
Be sure to make provision to pay your Income Tax—
payment is made easier by the new instalment plan.
But be prepared to do more — budget your earnings
to make sure that you will have money available to buy
War Savings Certificates and to subscribe for War
Loan Bonds. You will help Canada —you will help
yourself.

Chesley Has Few Transients
The change hi economic conditions,
plus the outbreak of the war, has
made a big change in the number of
transients who used to visit Chesley,
ask for a hand-out from door to door,
and bother the Chief of Police for a
bed and breakfast* tn 193$, there were
230 such transients registered at the
local police1 office; the following year,
war broke out in September, and only
30 were registered by Chief Vance
during that winter. Now the problem
is practically non-existent, and to date
this winter the chief has had only two
transients visit the office. ■— Chesley
