B, McCool, Editor and Publisher Subscription Rate One Year $2,00 Authorized as Seoond Class Mail Post Office Department Vol. 75 - No, 41 EDITORIAL The recent Ontario provincial elec- tion returned the ProgressiveConserv- atives to power for another term of office. However, their former too- large majority was considerably re- duced. Ontario voters thus have shown that they approve in general the type of government they have been receiv- ing in recent years, but at the same time„ they have made certain by their votes that there will be a strong op- position in the houses of parliament to ensure the best possible legislation and government at all times. The resurgence of the C.,C.F. party to the role of chief opposition party in Ontario, and their recent victories in three Federal by-elections, shows a very significant possible trend in political thought in Canada. It should be taken as a warning by the two old- established political parties, the "Grits" and the "Tories", to put their houses PAGE TWO THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES JOAPHINE St, WINGHAM, ONT. &owe.

It is doubtful that there is any panacea for these ills, in the immediate future, but the recent gains of th C.C.F. party show that many people believe or hope that a radical change of government may be helpful. And no matter which political party is in power, all elected members of parliament should remember that they now lepiescut all the constitutents in their riding. The election campaign was only a preliminary skirmish to de- cide who should have the honour of serving and now the people expect and look for hard work and good results from each elected member of parlia- ment, We extend hearty congratula- tions to the winners and commend the losers for their efforts to serve in the public interests, * * * NEWFOUNDLAND STILL UNDECIDED ABOUT FUTURE The recent referendum in New- foundland was inconclusive, in that no one of the three political choices of- fered to the voters won majority sup- port. The votes for responsible gov- ernment were about 68,000; for con- federation with Canada, around 62,000 and for retention of the existing rule by Commission, nearly, 22,000. As a consequence, another test of public opinion will be taken about the middle of July, with the alternative narrowed to two; responsible self-government or union with Canada. The most striking feature in the re- sult of the referendum was the rise of the vote for retention of the existing Commission government. The result of the final test next month will largely depend on the placing of the 22,000 votes which favored Commission gov- ernment in the first referendum, Can- ada will welcome Newfoundland as a tenth province, if their final choice is for union, but the choice remains de- finitely and exclusively theirs. older rivals throughout Ontario," * * WEEKLY THOUGHT ' Don't cross any bridges before you come to them!
