Shake -Up A. Due
Victory of William A. Stewart and the Pro,
} gressive Conservatives in Middlesex North' last week
its q tribute to the personal popularity of the caul-
.date .and another endorsement of the government
- headed by Premier Frost.
It's doubtful, however, if this triumph will
improve the administration of the affairs in Ontario.
• With the utmost respect" for the capabilities of Mr.
Stewart, his win only contributes to the already (let,
`rixnental. concentration of power in the • provincial
house. ale two by-election. victories last ~reek. gave
the PC's 83 of the 90 seats.
No matter how efficient is thepresent ad-
ministration at Queen's Park, it..can be improved, by
-` .stronger opposition. With such power; the govern-
• ment.,need not worry about ,defeat in the house nor
will it be subjected to the pressure an effective
opposition .should provide. •
The Ontario Liberal party needs reorganiza-
tion. Its ineffective campaign in the Middlesex elec.-
-
lec-- tion was concerned too much with destructive criti-
cism rather than constructive policies to meet the
farm crisis and other problems of the day:
Perhaps a leaaership convention is necessary
to revive this once -potent party. It did the trick for
the 'federal Conservatives. -
M�-r.e
Co'Operqtion
It appears that a greater spirit of co-operation
Pp
• will have to be displayed at Grand Pend if conflicts
,
between the younger, liberal -minded element and the
older, more conservative group are to be avoided.
Latest controversy is that over Sunday enter-
tainment. The camps --in this case a majority on the
village council and the members of the promotion
committee—are bitterly opposed over the staging of
parades an,l concerts oh, Sunday.
It's unfortunate that a compromise can't be.
reached amicably because, the arguments of • both
graupa• have merit. The promotion conilziittee . has
performed a genuine service to°, the resort. by. 'pro-
: viding
pra-
viding entertainment for the tourists. On the other
hand, there is .a question as to haw far one caii go
on a religious day and still maintain the propriety
it deserves.
Basically, most of these controversies,seein to
stem from the fact that there are two extreme types
of _tourist patronizing the resort .--the " young, ener-
getic; - fun -seeking crowd and the older; more- re-
sti<aiufyd group. It would appear lia'reso'l will always
attract both kinds: •'
They will have to learn to live with each
other.

A Great Can�dkin
The Times -Advocate joins people across the
nation in paying tribute to Louis St. Laurent for his
service to the country during the years he served
as prime minister and as a member of the cabinet
of McKenzie King.
His retirement"as leader of the Liberal Party
last week ends the King -St. Laurent reign in Canadian
olitics---an era which has been unequalled in length,
an political supremacy, in prosperity "andfn many
other impressive ways. - .
Mr. St. Laurent s greatest contribution has
been the bridging of the gap between French and
English' Canada. He succeeded to the degree that he
,- was able to lead Canada, as a' paean, into the most
,, impressive role it has ever assumed ininternational
affairs.
The defeat of his party at the polls iii June
- :Ay -more than offset by the outstanding political suc-
cesses which preceded it.
'p` He is a great Canadian.- •

and also the silver dollars that
each municipality vies for.
With little attractions to offer,
the young people out for a good
time are easy prey for anything
that sounds Tike glamour and
excitement thus an augmented
police force is required for week-
ends and holidays. Tbere are
those who say that much of the
rowdyism that prevailed a few
years ago has been curbed and
one must agree with this owing
to the number of offenders who
appear in court each Monday
naoriiing. Others will tell yeti
there, is much that still
exists but that it has been driv-
en underground.
Four organizations are now in.
operation all with an eye to the
future to make this popular re-
sort one that will be attractive
to the cottage owners, the holi-
day seekers and the weekend vis-
itors.
In addition to the council with
its controversial police force,
there is the cottage owners' as-
sociation; the business men's :as-
sociation and the newly -formed
Grand Bend Area Chamber of
Commerce, to say nothing of the
Grand Bend Lions and the Grand
Bend Legion.
But Grand Bend's interests do
not lie alone with thoseiwho are
concerned only with attracting
holiday seekers. There has been
a steady growth year be year of
cottage owners all along the lake
front which now extends for
miles outside the borders of the
village. Many of these look to
Grand Bend both for supplies
and entertainment and should not
be overlooked in the economy of
Grand Bend, These are riot the
drifters who cause consternation
during a short summer season
but who love the beauty of the
lake and its surroundings from
early in. June to late in Septem-
ber and October,
Lake Huron is growing each
year in its attraction to holiday
seekers and summer borne .own-
ers. A long term outlook is re-
quired to make the most of the
potentialities that the Huron
shore offers..
Grand Bend has prai:tically
folded upp for another year. The
day after Labor Day you could
almost shoot a •cannpn down the
mairt street. 'raetically all cot-
tage owners with families return-
ed to their tomes with the open-
ing .of the sehoot terns.
Grand Bend h a s greatly
~hanged in the past number of
years. Gone are the days when
the family picnic, the Sunday
School picnic at Grand Bend
were among tate' outstanding
days of the year. Gone are the
attractions that used to amuse
and entertain the summer visit-
ors. Practically every inch of
what used to be the picnic
grounds have been commercial-
ized and the only attractions now
are for the young people.
Many will recall the days when
family picnickers had a place to
which they could go, where hot
water and necessities were pro-
vided. The loss of these are prob-
ably due to thepicnickers them-
selves for in many cases the
privileges that were extended
were badly abused.
One of the biggest losses as
far as the. adult population is
concerned is a recreation field.
Many an entertaining evening
was spent an the. ball grounds
when a Grand Bend softball
team would meet an all-star
team from the campers. Old and
young alike used to crowd the
pitying field and the hat was
tossemeetd o the expends. h mSuch
events were eagerly looked for-
ward to and helped to pass e
pleasant evening,
Gone, too, are the .attractions
that used to be staged on mid-
week days and holidays. Neigh-
boring towns have offered coun-
ter -attractions that draw crowds
