Carleton constituency has always elected a Conservative member since confederation and two of its represen- tatives, Sir John A, Macdonald and Sir Robert Borden, have been Prime Ministers of Canada. Col, Drew has shown great ability and good leader- ship while premier of Ontario and the Progressive Conservative opposition under his leadership should ensure ef- ficient government for Canada. A strong, able opposition In parliament is essential to good government. Col.

HAPPY NEW YEAR In a few days "Old Father Time" will usher in a brand new year. No hneadn power has ever been able to 'stop the flight of time or even stay its flight for one fleeting moment. God, alone, retains the prerogative to alter His ordinances, and only once. in re- corded history, since He created time "In the Beginning", has he stopped the passage of time for even a second. In Joshua 10;13, in the Old Testament scripture we read God's holy word, "The Sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies, is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of Heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day." In the last three thousand years God has never stayed the passage of time, so the year 1948 will soon have run its course and become history, and the pages of time will be turned over to a brand new, clean sheet bearing the heading 1949. We shudder as we think of the miserable things written on the page of the old year just gone. 1948 has been a year of world unrest, trouble, bloodshed and want in many lands. No one can guess what the year ahead holds in store for any in- dividual, community, country or the world, but, if men and nations obey God, it will be a prosperous and peace- ful year and that is nor earnest hope and prayer. To each individual we wish good health, happiness and great prosperity throughout 1949. * * * PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE LEADER ELECTED Piogressive Conservative Leader, Algonquin Park is 2,700 square miles of unspoilt woodland, where you can recapture the thrill of the early pioneers in canoe camping trips, or take shorter trips from comfortable hotel or tourist cabin accommodation. It is so popular among fishermen, artists and plain holiday-makers that its wise to make reservations well in advance. DUPLATE TUFLITE * 9 7 2 3 107 • KJ8 4, 108 762 N W E V S A 576-8 3 K • 97 3 K Q 5 4 The natural opening lead is either the nine of spades or the six of clubs and it doesn't shatter to the declarer's play which lead is made. Assuming, for example, that the club is led, the declarer should win , with the ace and cross over to his own hand by means of the ace of spades. His next lead is the queen of hearts, of, course, and with it a silent prayer that North will cover with• the king. But what if he doesn't? Mathemati- cally he should let it ride, but perhaps that is not the only consideration. Under these particular circumstan- ces an expert player in North position would not cover with the king, but, an average player probably would fotlow the general rule and do so. Conse- quently, the decision whether to fin- esse or to play South for the singleton king might well depend on the declar- er's estimation of North's skill. If the king i's captured it is interest- ing to note that West can make five ir- respective of the defence or adverse distribution. After drawing the opponents trumps his procedure is to clear spades from both his hands, ruffing the third round and throw in the opponents by leading the jack of clubs., South's only defence is to return a diamond, which the declarer will allow North to win with the jack. North must either return a diamond into West's ace-queen or lead a club and thereby permit the declarer to discard a diamond from dummy and ruff in his own hand. In either event his only losing tricks will be one in clubs and one in diamonds. WROXETER Mr. W. A. Sawtell of Cobiconk, is spending the Christmas holidays with Miss Helen Sawtell at their home here.
