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. 414•11444.04)4141".0 401•14,41111•00...141111-41.11111.131111.094111.10441 - 4.40 "We're Feeling Pretty Good About Our Home .. since we fixed up with tough, weather-defying new ASHPHALT Roofing SHINGLES from the Beaver Lumber Co! Now we're sure of having a really snug and weather-tight home all the year 'round-with no danger of rain leakage and in- terior deterioration". How about stopping in this week to see us about the attrac- tive and sturdy roofing shingles you need? BEAVER LUMBER C. A. Loucks, Manager WINGHAM - ONT. 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'. * * * KNOW WINGHAM Early History of Wingham, cont'd.

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: • 572 3 K j 4 # A K 9 6 A 9 4 A86A A KQ10548 N 88 Vel. 10028 8 11 4.* 71.0572 • 5 8 4* 9 V. QA 3Q4927 5 • K J 6 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, ST.
