HERE
WE GO AGAIN
June, 10; 1957, the date of. the last Fed-
eral' election, doesn't Seem so very. long ago.
But here we -gr- again for another Federal
election on -March 31st.
$urpriti.ingly so -on as it 'night seem, it was
expected by all that another Federal election
would follow on the lieel,s of the June 10.1,,h___
election which failed to give a satisfactory
working majority. , It is necessary that this
second election be held and it is just as well
'tb get it over with,as soon as possible in order
that the Government to be voted in might iii'
able to get settled down to thcc9 handling of
the country's problems vWithout undue delay.These pri.blems are beingg accentuated by the

of them, they. were more favorably impressed
than they even expected they would be.

rather confident that they would he:r If and

that they know what' a gn.e_job has been done
SO far and how much is needed to purchase the
necessary fur'nishing's still required, the need-
ed additional financial support may be more
readily obtained.

presented the Hospital Board with a. eheque
for two hundred dollars on Sund ...afternoon
to help with the f.urrnishings, the act had

REACHINQi
An article. in. The Fergus News -Record,
outlining the reasons' for the removal of the
"Beatty Brothers- wooden wares division from
that town- to Lucknow is enlightening. That
paper ;states flatly that the main reason for
the move was- that prevailing • labor rates • iii
"Fergus for the type of work donee in the plant
were *1.65 per hour. A survey in Lucknoav
i'cndicated that- the rate there would be $1.05.
A plain,. Consideration of profit ;,and "loss made
the switch of locations imperative,
Perhaps this decision is an indication of
the thinking of many 'business heads, who
find that despite high prices, profits have all
but disappeared because of the high cost of
_ production: At tizzies labor groups disregard
the fact that labor 'can be' -employed only as
long as the • employer is snaking a working

Canada.

Officers have had in their hands for "many
Weeks now material to be sent out immediately
a 1 tl.eral election was announced. T1iis would
•indicate that an election has been expected at
any time . fox 'any__ weeks..
It will be most interesting to wateh what
the province of Quebec will do in' the forth -
_coining Federal. eleet ion. We feel that French
Canada will be standi-ng at the erossrpads of
decision its this one. While the usual predic-
-ions will be' made by forecasters with the
usual air of conviction, only the ballots on

OPENED EYES
special :significance. It was this chapter of
the I.l),I).E., now aetiVe for more than half a
century, which did yeoman work in getting
(;od•eriell's first hospital under way. This was
the hospital which was located oil South. Street
at the corner of Britannia Road.- It 'narked
0 long time period of service towards hospital
support in Goderich by this organization.
But many organizations in Goderich_ and
distriet have given fine support towards the
financing. of the new•wing and there will un-
doubtedly, he a c•ontinuanee of this.._support
from the rank and file of people in the 'next
month- or so., .
The Hospital Board has put in long hours
of planning and of work over tie' past few
rears. It ritt.tst have been a source of satis-
faction to them to. !'rear over the week -end -the
favorable comments on' the .fruits of their
labors. Next step w -ill he the official -opening
ceremonies which will probably he !geld about
-mid-March.
.THE LIMIT
profit. .After all, the laborer does not provide
'The Building, the machinery or the office staff
.which, is necessary if he, is to he employed,
and tere is a limit somewhere to the -upward
spiral of consumer goods prices.
In many ways we maintain .1 -dangerous
balance on the American continent: Prices
of all .commodities are at record peaks, and
labor is paid at rates which 'cannot he match-
ed, anywhere else in the world. Yet there
are countless inflhiorrs in other countries who
would be delighted to do double the work
that our labor is asked to perform --for a
quarter of the money.
Any sensible business man knows that
he is- in constant danger of pricing his goods
off the ,market. Labor -should realize that
it can do precisely the same thing,-Wingham

It is true that by paying taxes we support
public services which set up health safeguards,
but they caiulot do everything for, us.
Quarantine and isolation and immunization
contribute to physical efficiency -byprotecting
us from certain diseases. Surely our ambitions
minds, can fix upon some .better state to worif
toward.
W,he.n wraise'•our standards of physical
fitness higher'e- than mere freedom from, Con-

realm -of personal effort. The', responsibility
for achieving positive good health is uporh, us
individually.
The art of hygiene is very simple; per-
haps that is why it is so often neglected and
despised. Cleanliness, wholesome diet, mod-

attitude of confidence,_ hopefulness and ca.1m,-

(By L. E Cardiff, M.P.)
I worked with him for many years;
It was such a pleasure, too,-,.- --
Aa .fine a man as ever lived,
I knew him through and through.
Tom was the kind of man
That drew most . people to him;
And never veered from a task,
So long as he could do it.
-He was held in high respect
By everyone who knew him;
And will be missed by young and
old,
He was so friendly to them.
No doubt he will be missed'by some -
Even more than others,
Because he was 'the kind of man
Who classed all men as brothers.
