ATKEY - • - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1948 THE BY-ELECTION IN. RETROSPECT The democratic system of government' again has viiri h- cated itself in the by-election in the Provincial riding g of Huron. The people have spoken, and the will of the peo, ple must prevail, . The NEWS -RECORD offers. its hearty congratula- tions to the winner, Mr. Thomas Pryde, who possesses all the attributes necessary to make a most successful Member of the Legislature. Where there is a winner, there mush also be a loser, 'and sometimes to lose is to Win. To Mr. Benson Tuckey, the defeated candidate in this case, We also extend our best congratulations for conducting a clean campaign and' emerging as a real sportsman. . Frequently, during the campaign, both gentlemen Stated that their friendly relationships as fellow -townsmen and neighbours, would continue long after the smoke of the ballot bade had cleared away. There its no doubt but that Will be the case. Now that that very estimable gentleman, Tom Pryde, is our representative in the Provinci'a'l House, the residents of his conidtaitUency will follow his career with much inter- est and good will: We know that he will .not let us down, 'and what's more, we have his own word for it that he will 'do his best to represent al the people of the riding, and hOtt7 necessarily only those who supported and voted for him. 'Iihe late Dr. Hobbs Taylor once remarked that he felt it his duty, when once elected, to represent all the pee-. pile of his constituency all the time. There are many who could bear witness to the fact that he tried and succeeded in dang just that. At his nomination, during the campaign, and follbw- ing his election, Mr. Pryde has reiterated that his policy would, be smiler, and although he might not move mount- ains, he would serve to the very best of his ability. We know we can take him at his word. The by-election was hard-fought but clean, chiefly ,on •account of the lead given by the two candidates them- selves. We trust that history will so record it. 0 0 0 HELP THE CHILDREN ! CCanada today is being asked to contribute to help the needy of Europe and Asia and that help is sought by the most deserving — the boys and girls of the world who have been innocent victim's of the war. Those of us whose lives are spent within hospital corridors, know first hand the value of our equipment At our disposal we have labs for research, x-ray equip- ment for accurate diagnosis, modern surgical instruments and allI things necessary for the treatment of the sick. But there are those of us who comptain that some facilities are Tackircxg, And maybe their complaints are justified. How different in ,countries ravaged by war! More than three milllnon children in Europe are hungry. To pro- tect their feet they wear rags, on. their backs, too, are tattered clothes. Malnnibrition is rampant. And in its wake has coxae tuberculosis and rickets. All diseases are on the increase. With the elements arid want sapping their vitality, these children fall easy prey to illness and hospitals —those not smashed during five years of war—are fighting a Posing struggle. Recent surveys conducted in these countries evidence the dire plight of the hospitals. Treating the ill is a make- shift business. Labs have been wrecked and libraries sacked. Surgical instruments have been pillaged or iles't. Everything that goes for the operation of a hospital is in short supply. . Canada is now in the midst of a campaign to raise funds for the children in Europe and Asia. It is the Can- adian Appeal for Children. The money will be used for the purchase of food and clothing. Money will also be spent to equip hospitals. Until Europe and Asia have recovered from the ills of war, the world will remain in an unhealthy state. If you wish to aid in this recovery plan, send your donation to any branch of any bank in Canada. The need it great. The need is urgent, O 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today — Lake oil and water, religion and potties do not seem to mix — especially around election; time.

It is to be hoped that all organizations co- operate to the full with the, Chamber of Commerce in pur- suing the project to its ultimate conclusion. 0 0 0 A proposall of Toronto. Board of Control — that the Omltario cl,overdtment should be asked to declare a muni- cipal voting day—possesses considerable merit and should be i vies'tiigated further. Its supporters are of the opinion that if ani munfif cipalites in Ontario held elections on the sante dh , probably early in December, the interest in voting woud be ibroulght to asharper focus, confusion would be • miiiilinized, and a higher voting average night result. ) BAYFIELD LIONS CELEBRATE T1; IEIR FIRST BIRTHDAY Bayfield Lions Club, along with 33 members of Suriel: Lions Club, celeb- rated their Elmet birthday in the form of a social evening at Tho Little Inn,' Bayfield, Wednesday evening, Febru- ary 4, The tables for the birthday party were attractively and appropriately decorated for this occasion. The bead table was especially attractive with a largo decorated birthday cake adorn - big. it, Tho birthday cake was made and presented to the elub by Mrs.. , GeoL Lionrgob Presideittle,nt George Castle thank- ed Mrs. Little for her kindness and tllaihkod Lion George and Mrs. Little for all their kindness and ithcuglrtfnl- ness in the past year; remarking cape- etaily, how they had given the Lions Club the use of t]wir'hame for direc- tors' anil eonmittbe meetings besid Serving the dinners at the regal monthly meetings. He said that Li George and Mrs. Little are to l highly commended for their unselfi efforts and co-operation, without which Bayfield Lions Club would. n have been as successful and prosper° as it had in its first year. A very thoughtful and appreciativ tribute was paid to Bayfield Lion Club in the form of a letter from highly esteemed young "lady, Miss Audry Sturgeon, a former resident o.f. Bayfield who lives now in Steveston, HC. Audry, as she was familiarly known, did not forget this was 'the first anniversary of Bayfield Lions Club, and when her Letter was read at the birthday ;party the Lions all showed their appreciation with a groat round of applause. Past President Ivan Yungblut, of the Zurich Club, presided as el:airmail for the entertainment program pre - seated by the members of Zurich Lions Club, Lion Ivan remarked on the progress %and success of the, Club in its first yar of operation. Mentioning how a year ago on a very stormy night some of the Zurich Lions, D -G Hal Mar, Seaforth, and 13 men of Bayfield met at the Little Inn and organized Bay- field Lions Club, which now boasts of a membership of 33, who have already created an impression in Bayfield. Lion Albert Kalbfleisch, Zurich, was introduced to the Bayfield Lions and gave a very splendid and instructive talk on Lionism. Lion Vie of the Zur- ich Lions Club education committee was then introduced and in his re• marks explained the benefits of study - big the Lions Code of Ethics and other literature relating to the governing and progress of a Lions Club. The Zurich Lions Club quartette, ac- companied by Mrs. Harry Hess, added greatly to the evening's entertainment by singing three lively and eheefnl numbers in their usual rprofessional and entertaining style. The Waiper Bros. of Zurich Lions Club presented, two chow numbers to round off the program` of singing. Contests were conducted by Lien Ivan Vungblutt for prizes donated by Zurich Lions Club, two Zurich Lions being the winners. A contest was con- ducted for the birthday cake, Lion Le Roy O'Brien, Zurich, being the win- ner. Lion LeRoy was called upon to cut the rake: he did so and sold it, piece by piece, donating the money to the Bayfield Club. During tine evening, Zurich Lions Club tail twister Lion Ed Gascba was ]tdpt very busy and did a real good job. The severest penalty of the evening was dealt to two members of the Zur- ich CIub for talking on the current po- litical itssuo; they had part of their ties removed with large shears carried by the Mail twister. Needless to say, this put a stop to politica] disaateien, whieb according to the Lions Consti- tution, is strictly. forbidden. Bayfield Lions are looking forward to the year ahead with such a sue. es D., L. Stephonebn, H, M, Hanley, Lie B. Rath -well, W. J. Falconer, J. L Rapson0. N. Evans, R. Fisher, and ell J. E.
