NOW O TO ITI
The voters of I-ittron-I3rtice have
been exposed for the past four or five
weeks tc) the most intense political
campaign ever vik1tsti in this
sec-
tion of the province. Surely very
little is left to be said about either
of the two candidates Or the parties
they represent.
This issue of The Advance -Times
contains the last of the messages dir-
ected to the public before the voters
go to the pulls tomorrow (Thurs-
day), so the rest is entirely up to
you,
We assume that you are intelli-
gent enough to make up your own
mind, so we won't attempt to tell
you which candidate to support
when you mark your ballot. Just one
reminder, however—use that intelli-
gence for some careful thinking be -
for you mark your "X." In any cam-
paign as concentrated as this has
been, people have a tendency to be
carried away by emotion, which is a
poor suhstitut for reason.
We suggest that you ponder upon
the more serious aspects of the vote
-- the fact that the man of your
choice will have the responsibility of
representing all the citizens of a very
large and prosperous riding in the
Ontario Legislature. You must de-
cide in favor of the man you believe
to be hest fitted to sit down with
other legislators, some of whom have
long experience in the fine art of
getting their own way. Our represen-
tative must he the man who is able
to plead our own particular causes
and get action for Huron -Brace
wherever it is needed. He must have
GREATER PROTECTION
Transport Minister H. I,. Rown-
tree announced Friday that full im-
plementation of Ontario's new Mo-
tor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund
takes effect October 1st. Victims of
motor vehicle accidents with unin-
sured motorists will be able to collect
up to $35,000 for death or personal
injury arising frotn accidents which
take place on or after this date. Pro-
tection against property damage is
also increased to $5,000.
The Minister said the new limits
would provide the greatest. protec-
tion against the uninsured motorist
in any jurisdiction on this continent.
Up to now, $10,000 was the limit
of payment for death or, personal in-
jury of one person and $20,000 for
death or injury to two or more per-
sons, with a maximum of $2,000 for
property damage.
Law enforcement officers will he
checking more closely to ensure that
all owners of motor vehicles are
either insured or have paid the $20.00
uninsured fee to the Motor Vehicle
Accident Claims Fund.
The new fund, which came into
effect July 1, provided for a more ef-
fective and speedy settlement of
claims, The Minister reminded mo-
torists of two new benefits included
in the legislation that have been in
effect since that date:
First, the inability of a claimant
to locate an uninsured tnotorist will
no longer deprive the claimant of his
right of payment nor will the claim-
ant be delayed in processing his
claim because he cannot locate the
uninsured motorist. Under the new
regulations, claimant may have the
writ served on the Registrar of Mo-
tor 'Vehicles as the agent for the un-
insured person,
Secondly, a person having a claim
against an uninsured motorist may
apply directly to the Fund for pay-
ment of his claim without having to
commence an action in court.

the character and stature to make his
colleagues listen when he speaks,
Political organization as we
know it today, also -demands another
line of thought on the part of intelli-
gent electors, We are all quite aware
that no representative goes to
Queen's Park and speaks out about
the things he wants to see accom-
plished, regardless of the proclaimed
policies of the party with whom he
has aligned himself. He is constrain-
ed to follow, to a considerable de-
gree, the dictates of the leaders of
that particular party. 'Phis situation
is not a hall one. It is the modern ad-
aptation of the "party" system which
has served democracy well for three
centuries, 'Without it we could ex-
perience the political chaos which has
brought France to the brink of civil
war.
Since the party system prevails, it
behooves every voter to think clearly
about the policies of the party of his
choice, He must consider the calibre
of leadership that party has provid-
ed. In the case of the party which
has been in power, he must decide
whether its legislation in the past
has been sound. In the case of the
opposition party, he must think of
the promises which are being made,
and whether or not that party's criti-
cism of the government is construc-
tive,
The choice is yours. Make the
best use of your ballot.
CONGRATULATIONS
Hearty congratulations are in
order for the Whitechurch Juvenile
hall team which last week won the
Ontario Amateur Softball Associ-
ation championship when they de-
feated the Capreol Class "ID" entry.
They are a great bunch of young ath-
letes and deserve the commendation
of the entire district, particularly
since they hail from a small com-
munity. '
It is in this regard that we Would
like to offer some special words of
admiration, not just for th'e boys on
the teani, hut for their manager,
coach and the dozens of residents of
the Whitechurch area who have
spent so much time and effort to
boost the boys along to their final
victory. The united backing the team
received is strong evidence of the
good old-fashioned conimunity spirit
so many larger centres lack today.
While we are in the congratula-
tions department we would also like
to mention the pride we all feel in
the Wingham District High School
Cadet Corps since the announcement
that it had been awarded the Strath-
cona Shield for efficiency.
Anyone who was present for the
annual cadet inspection in the spring
will realize that it is no simple chore
to excell in the type of training the
cadets are expected to absorb in this
day and age. When we fathers went
to school cadet work was a breeze.
We boggled through some musketry
drill; tried to march in step with the
fellow immediately in front and
hoped he was in step with the rest of
the squad.
In contrast our sons are learning
some pretty complicated manoeu-
vres. The corps is set up like a full
regiment, with officers, NGOs and
other ranks, The inspection is ar-
ranged not merely to see whether the
boys can march around the field a
few times, but to determine whether
they have grasped the more compli-
cated aspects of military organiz-
ation and tactics,
Cadet training is basically sound
for any boy and it is goodto know
that our youngsters are getting the
best type at the WDHS.

Two rooks at the same lunch

between those who put their hearts
into what they are doing, and those
., "
� a dt' a les r
who col 1 t t, re a One o
h . Q cook
serves up omelettes that are light,
fluffy and a delight to eat, The
other does no more than push a
plate across the counter with an
order that is flat and tasteless,
Just two men, employed to do the
sante work, but what a contrast
in their performance!
The good cook feels he owes it
to his eustotners to do his best for
them. He experiences the joy of
accomplishment because he ",does
what he Is doing". The other man,
for whom It is "just another job",
merely goes through the motions
of serving people. As a result he
short-changes them (and himself
aa well) by failure to "do what he
is doing", Nis. Mediocrity shows up
In every omelette.
In a sense these two cooks typify
most of mankind—those who put
their hearts into their work and
those who don't,
The titan who brings meaning
into the most menial tasks proves
that every person canbe a co-
worker with the Creator in apply-
ing a fragment of truth, goodness
and beauty to the raw material of
life, Even those who Lead bored,
aimless existence;; have within
them a .deep-seated yearning to
lead lives with high purpose and
direction.
There will be solid hope for the
world once such persons under-
stand. that their human nature
reaches its full flowering according
to the measure of what they "put
into life instead of what they
"take out", The following examples
illustrate what is meant --
The father and mother who sac-
rifiee "nights out" to he home with
their children and give them .the
devoted attention that is their due,
The sales person in a department
store who recognizes that it is her
responsibility to "serve" customers,
and to do so cheerfully and intel-
ligently, The housewife who sees
a higher meaning In the routine of
homechores, h res, It is sometimes hard
to believe that a prayerful ap-
proaeh to a sink full of .dirty dishes
is a step closer to Cod, But it
helps to remember,"
Once in awhile I lose heart. Most
of the time I roll with the punches,
smile wryly, admit that Rome was
not built in a day, and go right
on trying to instill in youngsters
some knowledge of their native
tongue.
But occasionally I stride from
the classroom, go barrelling into
the men teachers' washroom,
fiercely suck on a cigarette and
stare morosely into the toilet bowl,
wondering how I was ever finagl-
ed into the teaching of English.
It's a crazy language. Oh, I'll
admit it's strong, virile, colorful,
flexible and often beautiful. But
it's also inconsistent, irregular, in-
sane and intimidating,

Compared to the soldierly march,
the regular formations of Latin,
English. is a. disorderly stream o1
refugees. Compared to the lucidity,
logic and precision of Trench, Eng-
lish is the flight of a bat.
What other language, for, ex-
ample, would have 'five different
pronunciations for "ough"? Count
them: bough, cough, dough, en-
ough and through.
What other language would pro-
nounce read, said and led exactly
alike? Or would pronounce two
words of totally different appear-.
ance "you" and "ewe" identically?
Or would have four utterly use-
less and unpronounced It's in such
a word as knickknack?
However, that's enuff of that
stough. I'm too busy trying to teach
the language to have any time fo
reforming it. I don't really de
mand much. All I ask is that kid;
in high school stop saying thing.
like "I wooda if I cooda"; elimin.
ate the "this.heres" and the
"that4theres" from their vocabulary
and refrain from writing things
like, "I seen In a hook were theirs
no people on the moon, like."
In addition, I try, gently but
persistently to lead them awa•
from such gruesome slips as, "11
babies don't like raw vegetables
they should be boiled," and that
old favorite, which calmly states
"Sitting on the veranda, 40 cow:
were seen."
I don't blame the youngsters
Many of them are exposed to
sparse vocabularies and anything
goes grammar, not only at home
but on television, and in the movie:
they see and junk they read. The
can scarcely be expected to acquirr
impeccable spoken and written
English in a few hours at schoo
each week.
They try, though. They try, files:
them. Their foreheads knot witl
strain as they tell you that the
three principal parts of the verl
"cling" are cling, clang, clung
Their eyes roll in their heads as
they spell with a dash and daring
worthy of more heroic feats. And
every year some kid tries to thrors
the teacher by asking him to spell
'antidiseatablishmentarianism' and
explain what it means.
On second thought,'English is a
fascinating language, with a bold
vivid coloring all its own, and 1
reckon I'd rather teach it their
anything else, Occasionally, one
comes across a student with those
rare twin gifts --an ear for lan-
guage and a joy hi the manipula
tion of words. When that happens,
ft makes up for a host of head-
aches,
And where else could one come
across such beautiful miscues as
that of the boy who wrote, "'They
came withing a hare's breath of
success."?
And where else could you find`
a language that could ccneeivably

Fish.
It's a grand old tongue, and I
think that if I just put my shoul-
der to the wheel, carry the ball
with my nose to the grindstone,
and hit the odd home run, I should
be able to go down with my flags
flying.
