THE FEDERAL ELECTION
In what promises to ke one of the
liv,rlieest Federal elections iii years, ,vo-
'tees ('f the riding of Huroil ho to• the
polls on Monday. There,. is a total of
25311 eligible voters in Httrott and, be-
cause of the riding's first four - party
fight in history, it is reasonable to assume
there will be a large turn - out of ballot
easter,,.
- • Returning Officer Russel l3oltou
states there are about 400 more eligible
voters this time than there were in the'
1958 eleetioti. Local statistics indicate
this inerease comes largely from the Town
of Goderi•eh- and Goderich Township.
Goderich has 3,899 eligible voters this
time in contrast with 3,658 in 1958 — an
inerease of •241. Goderich Township has
1,00:3 voters for Monday 's- vote in - eom-
pprison with 874 in 1958 — an inerease
of 129. Combined, this is. an increase of
370.
What political party trill be in pow-
er following the June 18th election? • One
meets .:with --various_ persons who are quite
eonfid tat - they' know' -the answer. _: The
trortrlp- geeo,. lre� _that t v �1r
ti
ferent answers.. - a •
When it conies to getting the an-
swer in advance, as .to, which political
party.vill be elected on Monday, we pre-•
fer to- depend on the opinion of qualified
observers — "out of town experts". To'
find these rare"birds, Ottawa is 'as -good
a place as any to look. for them, • So to
Ottawa we went for the answer. We con-
tacted a parliamentary -reporter for a large
Canadian daily newspaper who' has 'spent'
more than a quarter of a, century closely
observing the, Ottawa scene. As a friend
of long standing, we asked him to give
us a cold analysis — unprejudiced by any
political leanings — of what willhappen
'on f Lune 18th. Said he: "There -were
208 seats held by ,the Progressive C'ouser-
,vati oes in the• last - government. The
Progressive Conservatives \vitt be return-
ed to power esi Monday but their seats
will be cut,, tvn to '158." So, there's the
view • of ail ' eixprrt ,.
While the younger generation might
change things in time, Huron County is
still largely made up of voters who are
either Grits, or ,,Tories. •Tu these two par-
ties will go the vas' majority of votes
in Huron. Both candidates are exeelleiit
men, each in his own way. -Elston ' Cardiff
has made tuanv friends, over the years
by standing up for his constituents and
these acts are not soon forgotten. Ernie
Fisher has done yeoman service, particu-
larly for the Town of Goderich, and is
hoping that this service will be recogn-
ized:- But in • the -main. votes will -he vast
on the ;basis of long-time.••political party
adherence of the, respective voters.
Carl Hemingway can be expected tct
cut into the rural vote in what might be
a surprising manner. Earl Douglas will
gather' • some votes oof. Labor. But
geuer l'l r spealiiva; `neither—of. -the
a.
into the set 'ways of Grit 'or Tory Huron
voters.- If they do, we Will be surprised:.
Wh-iehever party comes into power
after' June 'ISth will have no• bed. of roses.
''Canada seems to be in a transitional per-
iod of economic—difficulties and the next
government will have a real job on its
hands' keeping things on ad even keel.
May the best party win and may it have
the talent And, fortitude to carry Canada
through , the- temporary rough times that
lie just ahead. .
ZVe repeat the old maxim of 'Vote
as you like but vote Any Voter who
is able- to but does not exercise his frau-
i.hise . on Monday= is a ' discredit to -his
conntr .
FOR BEAUTY'S SAKE
- Untidy litter or "junk" disfiguring
au east -end street was subject of. complaint
to • town council at its first June 'meeting.
The 'objectionable material turned out to
be on private property, and council was
uncertain as to their jurisdiction in sueh
ease. The Municipal Act' is said to auth-
orize enactment of bylaws requiring own-
ers to clean up their property; but it is
▪ too ,bad if this should be. neeessary in
Godarieh; long •called "Prettiest •Towniri
Canada.". Most -.-property•- owners -here • -go -
.to a lot of• trouble to keep their frontages
attractive and nlainta.in the town's repu-
tation, and the negleet of a few. most not
be allowed to spoil it. -.
Of course, there are many other' men-
aees to --our good name in this particular,
such as the, town dump. where the prohibi-
tion against 'lighting fires seems to be ig-
nored by all. and sundry. In the midst
of a • council meeting, men and equipment
had to be sent to ,douse a fire there.
Smoke and odor are alike offensive to
nearby residents, and the dump itself.
first thing train passengers see. is no beau-
ty spot. •
-.These . p•roble•nls • --present diffieulties,-
more •so` than the steel -t disfigurement
caused by more or -less 'permanent park-
ing of vehicles.

DEATH IN LIFE
By Rev. E. Von Keitz, B.A.,
Goderich Baptist Church
Text: Antd, you hath he quick-
ened, who were dead in tres-
passes and sins. Ephesians 2:1.
An Indian, trying to find his
wigwam, was asked, "Are you
lost?" He replied, "Indian not
lost, wigwam lost." This hum-
orous story depicts the common
attitude of man in his relation-
ship to God. It is natural to
assume that one is a Christian
and -destined heavenward. But
the testimony of Scripture chal=
lenges this general belief. The
letter to the Ephesians says that
by nature we are 'dead in tres-
passes and sins. What is im-
plied by these familiar words,
"dead in trespasses and -sins?"
A literal translation of the
word trespasses, denotes being
off course. It means to stray
fr the right road. Jes%s il-
lu ted human trespassing in
his parable of the. Prodigal Son.
The farther we proceed in life,
the more we tend to stray from
God's principles. The word sins
in our text is a shooting term.
It means to miss the target. Sin
is the failure to be what we
ought to be, and 'what we could
be. tThis is every person's dil-
emma. The older we become the
more acute our sense of failure.
Consequently, increasing years
tend- .1to- company ..by
growing 'skepticism and even
a.�`."�.;_....—•., o.NMmv^ ".._w.+:;•�i�r....� .. '.•144'J.v.'n •
The tekt speaks of being dead
in • trespasses and sins. . Our
straying and . failures have a
devastating effect on our being.
Sin destroys our. innocence, our
ideals and our will. Sin always
leaves us with a tarnished rep-
utation and memory. Sin kills
our ideals in the sense that
each time you suppress the voice
of conscience, the power of re-
straint diminishes. Sin kills
the. will in the sense That once
something becomes a habit, it
is not far from being a neces-
sity. Consequently our situa-
tion is one of death in life.
The only effective remedy for
this universal dile'n'rma is to be
quickened ly the life-giving
power of Jesus .Christ... Emry
person who accepts the grace
that Jesua Christ offers thereby
finds -his feet set in a new uni-
verse. The power of Christ in
our life gives to us new stand-
u „a •

ards .and values. Our natural
bent is to conform to the ac-
cepted standards of society. The
world's ideals are property,
pleasure and position. Christ's
standard is sery=ice and sacrifice.
Human reaction is hatred and
revenge. Jesus emphasized love
and forgiveness. Man's chief
aim is self -realization, but Jesus
exhorted us to seek first the
kingdom of righteousness of
God. Christ's way of life chal-
lenges our foresight, . and our
faith in God's promise to hon-
our - them that honour Him.
However, the decision to die or
live rests with the individual.
