S.. ATIiEY A. L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, JUNE 40, 1948 THE ELECTORS ,HAVE SPOKENT . he 'fact that the Ontario election is a thing or the past is certainly not news. 13ut the fact that once more democracy has triumphed and the will -of the • people, as expPessed through the agency of the ballot' box, still prevails, is 'a matter of much satisfaction. • The NEWS -RECORD is -pleased with the fact that Ontario has a 'stable government—that the- largest group elected --which happens to he -the Progressive Conservative-- is onservative-is firmly in power with a substantial working majority over all other groups, Another thing with which we are pleased is the fact that in the new Legislature, the Opposition Will be much stronger than in the last, and we all know that this is a necessary concomitant of responsible government under our democratic system, It looks tike a pretty good set-up to us. The local contest in Huron riding, proved to be one of the very closest in the Province, ThomasPryde, Progres- sive Conservative, gaining an unofficial -lead of only 109 votes over Frank Fingland, KC, in 'a contest which• saw more than 15,000 ba lots cast. Thatis aver slim margin indeed, deed, but it is not likely to be changed to any great extent when the official count takes place on Monday next. The election battle in this constituency was cleanand hard-fought and both contenders have publicly expressed their appreciation of each other's attitude. and position. Both are men of very high calibre -and 'highly -regarded throughout, the riding, which is a very fortunate and,happy circumstance, Mr, Fingland was one of the first to congratulate Mr. Pryde on his 'victory, and Mr. Pryde repeatedly expressed his regret that both'could not have won. But such is the fortune of elections—that there must be a loser as well as a winner. It was matter t of some personal satisfaction to both candidates that each was able to carry his own home town. In traditionally Conservative Exeter, Mr; Pryde, as in the February by-election, had very little difficulty in running up a majority, but in traditionally Conservative Clinton, Mr. Ping - land had a problem)to contend with of a slightly cliffereut nature. That he was able to turn a Progressive Conservative by-election majority of 171 and a 1945 margin of 2S4 hate a Liberal majority of 48, indicated his personal strength, especially in view of the fact that the Progressive Conservative forces worked hard to achieve victory for their candidate in his opponent's home town. In addition, Mr.' Fingland re- duced Mr. Pryde's majority in Exeter by 43 as compared wilt the by-election, when the Reeve of Exeter was running ss a Liberal. Throughout the remainder of the constituency, the pattern was, generally the same as in the by-election ex- cept for some slight changes in majorities in the various municipalities. It is possible that party workers are a little relieved to 'have pass into history, Huron riding's second election for the Ontario Legislature within the short space of four months. And perhaps some of the electors themselves will have a little Jess confusion of mind than they have had for some time. 0 0 0 , HAVE YOUR CI. -LEST X-RAYED 0ne of the greatest tasks confronting the nation at this time is the maintenance of national health. One of the most serious diseases, and at the same tirne one of the most readily curable when found in its early stage, is tuberculosis. It is to the credit of the. Humin Tuberculosis Assoc- iation and those who buy Christmas seals that every resi- 'dent of this district, whether man, woman or child, may take precautionary steps against this insidious disease by hav- ing a •free chest examination within the next few days. • Until apparatus using miniature film was developed, mass surveys were impractical and costly. Chest clinics had . to be confined to known and suspected cases. As a result not more than one in five persons suffering from the disease was discovered until it had progressed to serious stages, Now this dangerous situation can be remedied. Found.in its earn' stage, -and properly treated at once, tuberculosis can lie cured and 'the possibility of passing it td- others overcome. More persons in Ontario over five years of age die from tuberculosis than from all other infectious diseases corn - bin -ed. This is largely because an affected person may go on for some time not al all aware that he has the diseahe. Any one of us can be attacked by this disease and at any thne. The old belief that ;those over 30 are no longer susceptible is entirely without foundation. Helping in the task of destroying this enemy of man ,is a duty that' belongs to us all. The surest way of doing so is by having an x-ray. This can be done next Tuesday' or Wednesday, June 15. or 46, at clinics being- held in the Town Hall, Clinton. You don't need a previous •appointment to have a free -x-ray. .0 0 0 EDITORIAL. COMMENT THOUGHT FOR TODAY—Really, "what is so rare as a day in June?"

Thousands of farmers plan to increase production, al- though labour is scarce in many places. They'll do it by mechaniz- ing their farms, 'repairing their equipment, acquiring more live- stock, and other improvements, Many experienced farmers will adopt a proven plan to finance these progressive steps. They'll arrange for Bank of Montreal Farm Improvement Loans. These loans cost only five per cent in interest. There are no other charges. Repayment can be mace by convenient instalments over varying periods. Mr, W. H. Robinson, local B -of M manager, invites farmers who wish to use their credit' in this economical way to see him now. 24-b W. N.
