DO YOU VALUE YOUR HERITAGE?
Tvice, within period of four months, the electors of
the riding of Huron will go to the poll's on Monday`
next, June 7, to choose their. representative in the
Ontario Legislature The first occasion was the holding of
a by-election through the death of the sitting member, the
late Dr. R. Hobbs Taylor, and the second itsbe'ause of the
di.ssolutiob of the Legislature and resultant general election.
The NEWS -RECORD is appealing to its readers, no!
to vote for any particular party nor for any particular
candidate, on Monday, but to be sure to VOTE. And in
cidertally, the polls will be open for eleven hours=fro It
8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (DST) -and that should give everyone an
opportunity to cast his or her ballot for the candidate of
his or her choice.
When every election takes place—municipal, pro- '
vixicial or federal—the cry goes up -and rightly so— that
not nearly large enough a proportion of the electors have
taken the trouble to exercise their franchise. For example,
we find that in the bast Provincial Election in June 1945,
when there appeared to be a tremendous wave of pulblie
interest, only 71 per cent of the voters cast their ballots
in Ontario. We are pleased to say that the percentage of
ballots cast an +the February by-election in Huron riding'
was more than 75; in fact, it was 76.5 per cent in the Town
of Clinton.
But over agaiinst that, let us be reminded that in the
recent Italian election, 90 per cent of the voters went to the
polls. And the Italians are a people who only recnetly have
come to know anything at all about democracy.
The Toronto Board of Trade and other public-spirit-
ed bodies in Ontario are to be commended in their efforts
to get out vote on Monday. "Make your opinion tell
through the ballot box; vote as you like but vote" is the
admonition in the Toronto organization's advertising cam-
paign.
Do Ontarians—and Canadians generally—really ap-
preciate the right to vote? Sometimes it would appear that
they do not --that they are quite unaware of the great
struggle of our forefathers to win the vote for themselves
and for us.
This struggle has proceeded over many centuries.
The first breath of freedom for the people was contained in
the Magna Carta (The Great Charter of Liberties) signed
by King John in England in 1216, and that document was
forced from the King's hand by the power of the nobles and
cheifly for their benefit. Gradually, and very gradually, the
classes of people entitled to vote, were extended, the great-
est progress in this direction being made in the series of
three Reform Bills passed by the British Parliament in
the 19th century. Latterly, the right to vote has been ex-
tended in Canada to every Canadian r:.itizen 21 ,years of age
or over, and there even is some propaganda to have the
age limit reduced' to 18. .
It is quite true that many Canadians would never
place a tree valuation on the free right to vote unless
that right were threatened or taken away from them. We
can quite imagine the wails that might arise to high Heaven
from some people. And we'll bet you a fig that the loud-
est wails likely would come from those who now just don't
bother to exercise their hard-won franchise. '
The moral is: "Vote as you like — but VOTE!"

TUBERCULOSIS STRIKES AT ANY AGE
Have you ever wondered hone long you will •live—
to 60, 80 or 100 years? Life does nbt go on for-
ever, yet why shorten it? Some adults, for instance.
believe once they have passed 30 they are no longer suscep-
tible to a -disease like tuberculosis. On the contrary, tuber-
culosis may strike at any age. Last year one-half of
those who died of the disease were over 30 years of age.
Tuberculosis is a sly enemy. The much -advertised
danger signs are not symptoms of early tuberculosis but.
of aictive advancing disease. Early tubereutiosis gives no
warning, Only the x-ray can find the disease at a time
when it is almost completely curable.
Also contrary to popular belief, tuberculosis is not
inh'eri'ted. It is caused by a certain kind of gerni, and
like all geniis, they are 'hiving organisms.
No matter how careful we are, it is not always
possible, to keep ]tuberculosis germs out of the body. As
long as our resistance Gain protect us no harm may be
.done. But no two people react in the same manner iwhen
attacked by disease•germs.
After tuberculosis ]vas' become active, it can take
one of .two courses. If neglected it will 'advance and the
patient may die, When discovered early and treatment
started . quickly, it is almost always 'completely curable.
Every year ten's of thousands of tuberculosis patients re-
ture to useful work, tihei'r disease arrested. A history of
tuberculosis does not stand in the way . of earning one's
bihriaig.
For the above reasons, every man, woman, and
child of high schools age, should be most anxious to• take
advantage of the free chest x-ray whtclh takes plaice in
Clinton on Tuesday -Wednesday, June 15-46.
