LINING UP • FOR THE 1957 ELECTION

-*kr '--P.O.'s•
The -Liberals also are looking to the .next
appeal to the electorate, expected in 1957.
If there had been any doubt as to whether
Mr. St. Laurent would remain in the Liberal
leadership for this election, it was ' removed
at a party meeting held in honor of two
Liberal veterans, Itt. Hon. 0. D. Howe and
Rt. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, who celebrated_ twenty
years of continuous membership in the Liberal!
Cabinet. The Prime Minister made it clear
that he would lead the party in the next
campaign along with his two veteran lieuten-
ants.
So the ranks are forming for the coming
contest at the polls, which is expected to be
one of the hardest -fought in many years.
ELECTORS NOT INTERESTED
• That less than one fifth of the possible
rote was polled in Monday's by-election for
a seat on. the Town Council is one more indi-
cation ,of eivic Apathy in Goderich. 'Winter
weather might have kept some people 'at home,
but as both candidates offered free trans-
portation to the polls the weather was a slight!
• factor in the skimpy vote. The electors were
not interested.•
It might be said that neither candidate -
made any strong appeal to the electorate, but
at any rate both polled more votes than the
other members of the Council, who were all
elected by acclamation at a poorly attended
nomination' meeting in December„

BRUCE HUTCFIISON TALKS OF BOOKS
Brupe Hutchison devotes oneof his articles in
The Financial Post to the subject of books. Quoting
Praneis Bacon, that "reading maketh a full man,"
Aitchison. says that statisties show that Most_ Can-
adians prefer other nourishment. For example;
they must buy at least a hundred times more bottles
et rye than books of learning, at approximately
the same pribe. Rye also maketh a full man, and
more rapidly, but it 'doesn't last as long as.a book.
The book has its revenge. If it is any good, it
mulates the nation lohg after the bottle is
emisty.
("The Canadians who read books are important
to the nation quite out of proportion to their num-
bs:tic. In an age of mass thought, terrifying uni-
forMity and minds drugged with what they are
pleased' to call entertainment, the few minds that
think forAemselves and seek contact with other
1 •
thoughtful minds are more important than ever .
"The few, of course, are not all -reader of
books, but on the whole the thinkers are the
reaUiiiis, and -the thinkers are- thezpeople who, often
unknown, give the tone, color and direction to any
society, for better or worse....
"The great men of business, as distinguished
from the merely successful, are the menewho explore
worlds foreign to their own and thus- can place
their business in a larger context, with still larger
succes§. • •
:Lir-success:tut- matr;ler-us say;--ca-n-inake excel-
lent ballbearings. An educated man making ball -
hearings will make something' else as. well, much
more valuable to him and to society. By seeing
life,•whole, and not solely in terms of ballbearings,
however excellent, he will give soeiety- leadership
and himself a .new dimension."

Though Canadian farmers as a whole had
a smaller cash income last yearthan in 1954,
She figures by Provinces indicate ttat it was
the prairie Provinces that took the entire
ecrease. Theehtimate for Ontario is $719,-
038,000, compared with $704,544,000 in 1954,
and the returns for all the other Provinces
