HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1948-04-28, Page 2government to proceed with the most
extensive power developments ever via-
dertaken in this or any other province
of Canada." one of the key factors
in the program is the standardization
of cycle frequency in Southern Ont-
ario in which an estimated $181 mil-
lion will be spent in converting the
frequency from 25 to 60 cycle.
Referring to hydro, Mr. Drew con-
tinued, "the magnitude of that under-
taking is not yet fully realized. The
change of frequency at an estimated
cost of $191 million is only part of a
vast integrated program which calls
for public financing on a scale never
previously contemplated by any pro-
vincial government, It will be neces-
sary for the Ontario Government and
the Hydro-Electric Power Commission
under joint financing arrangements, to
raise nearly $600 million within the
next few years."
This paper is independent in its pol-
itical views and we believe that the
people should thoroughly understand
and pass judgment on any undertak-
ing of this magnitude. An election at
this time will accomplish that end. We
hope that the coming campaign will be
fought on its merits and that mud
slinging and cheap personalities will
not be indulged in by any party. Let
the will of the people be the determin-
ing factor through a record vote on
June 7th. $600 million dollars is a
great deal of money and it is the peo-
ple's money. No voter should object
to taking one hour off to settle such an
important matter or to using the vot-
ing franchise after a lapse of three
years. * *
RED CARNATIONS HONOR
MR. KING
On April 21st, a bunch of red car-
nations sat on Prime Minister King's
desk at the opening of the Commons
to mark his achievement in establish-
ing a new Commonwealth record for
length of service as Prime Minister.
It was the 7,621st clay of Mr, King's
tenure in that office, He then had sur-
passed, by one day, the old record of
Sir Robert Walpole, the 18th century
British statesman who held office from
April 3rd., 1721, to Feb. 11, 1742.
Mr. King received many congratu-
latory messages from his own party
-e
followers and from his 'political op-
ponents and their supporters. He also
was the recipient of similar messages
from King George VI, Prime Minister
Attlee, President Truman and other
world famous leaders. The Times of
London paid tribute, in a leading arti-
cle to the record of service of Prime
Minister King.
"Today MacKenzie King leaves oth-
er prime ministers behind him." It
wrote. "He wins the endurance test:
He breaks the long-distance record.

Closed Sat. afternoons
MacKenzie King had not seen him-
self as the forceful, dynamic leader;
He has rather been the wise guide, dir-
ecting the forces and sustaining basic
unity between French and British,
Many political powers have been and
still are ranged against him, But to-
day the debt due to his shrewd, caut-
ious, unflurried work can be freely ac-
knowledged."
Actually, the whining of the longev-
ity in office record from Sir Robert
Walpole does not bring much, if any,
glory to Mr. King, The true measure
of a statesman's services to his coun-
try should be his actual contributions
to the welfare and happiness of its citi-
zens and to the general elevation of
mankind, Abraham Lincoln was Pre-
sident of the United States for four
brief years, but his services to his
country assured hi mof immortal fame.
Political bias at present vetoes a true
appraisal of Mr, King's stature as a
canadaion statesman. We congratulate
him on winning the longevity record
and leave his biography to futtire im-
partial historians.

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHS
IN ITALY
Ninety-four of all Italians voted in
the recent elections. That perhaps is a
world's record for an election in
which voting was not compulsory and
a free choice was offered. And the It-
alian elections are a tremendous vic-
tory for democracy. By a decisive two-
to-one majority, they have rejected
communism and chosen freedom,.
Premier de Gasperi's Christian
Democrats alone secured nearly 48 per
cent of the votes and remain in power.
Internationally, the vote and enorm-
ous importance because Italy was seen
as a border-country between the Soviet
and the Western spheres. A Commun-
ist Italy could have been a 'Cause of
war because it would have established
Russian power in the Central Mediter-
rian and perhaps cut off Greece, Tur-
key and the Middle East from Wes-
tern influence. The election result
keep Italy on the right side of the
iron curtain'. * * *

/MOM,
Selecting an opening lead is often a
disconcerting problem, considering
that what seems to be the best choice,
may turn out to be a bonanza for the
declarer. Nevertheless, over a period
the law of averages prevails and good
judgment earns its reward.
The well known rules of leading the
fourth highest of the longest and
strongest suit, or the top of a sequence,
etc, should not be applied woodenly;
Frequently the bidding of the oppon-
ents should influence the choice of the
opening lead to the subjugation of
other factors.
A striking example of this is pro-
vided by a hand that was played in a
recent match at \Vinghatn between the
Goderich and Wingham Bridge Clubs,
This was the hand:

West dealer.
Both sides vulnerable.
At eleven tables the hand was play-
ed by South in hearts, and whether the
eclarer made eleven or twelve tricks
depended entirely on the opening lead.
It shows a good standard of defense
that seven West's refrained from the
"natural" opening lead of the three of
clubs. The other four West's gave
their opponents an extra trick-and
themselves a duplicate score of just
one and one half points out of a pos-
sible of thirteen.
Had the North and South bidding
been somewhat weaker the small club
would have been a good lead, but in
this ease North must have opened the
bidding with one no trump and South
responded with three hearts. This bid-
ding was a Clear warning that a dub,
opening would be very likely to give
the declarer a free finesse.
As for the alternative, a trump is
the correct Choice. 'The bidding indi-
cates that North and South almost
certainly have all the 'heart strength,
