A third political party has appeared an the election front here in Huron County, with the nomination last Thursday night of J. Carl Hemingway as the New Demo- cratic Party candidate. This third party is no more necessary in Huron than any- where else in Canada. The sooner we re- turn to a two-party system, the sooner we will have good, sound government. These so-called splinter parties serve no useful purpose, but are the big cause of us having to hold five elections in eight years. There is no question in our minds that either the Liberals or Conservatives will form the next government, but with the existence of these splinter parties, the probability of an overall majority for either seems remote. We would hate to see this Canada of ours under a government with such fan- tastic ideas as these splinter parties have. True, it is easy for them to offer the voter everything im•agineable before election time, because they know as well as the rest of us that their chances of gaining control of the country are extinct. However, every election sees them win enough seats to keep the country from having majority government. If Canada were to return to the good old Liberal -Conservative system that we know so well, only a few seats difference would be needed to assure us of a work- ing majority, regardless of which party were in power. Even Social Credit leader Robert Thompson, speaking in western Canada recently, made the statement that Canada would soon have to return to a two-party system if we want responsible government. And when you really think of it, there is not a great deal of difference between the policies of either the Liberals or Conservatives. Following the NDP nomination meet- ing in Clinton last Thursday night, we are more opposed than ever to these odd -ball parties springing up in our county. An example of some of their fanatic ideas was the statement by the candidate than an NDP government could have built an arena and community centre in the town of Clin- ton, without costing the taxpayers there one cent. We all know better than that. Then there was the statement by the campaign manager for the NDP candidate, that "there has been no democracy in Can- ada for the past 30 years", We wonder where in the world he has been living, if he thinks we are under a dictatorship. Perhaps, under an odd -ball government such as these people propose, we would lose our democracy, but at the, present time we must all agree that Canada is the land of the free. Other newspapers have recently taken the same sort of stand against these splin- ter parties as we have. The editor of the Stouffville Tribune says, "having such a patchwork of parties as has developed in Canada, makes an excellent excuse to hold an election at any time. There •are a few good men in these splinter groups but they can never do any more than beat their heads against the wall so far as leading the country. Let them get back into one one or other of the major parties and we will have more stable government." Over in Exeter the editor suggests that "the NDP group have been described as "hen eaters". To understand the term, industry is described as the hen, and tax- ation as the golden egg. Most people will agree it is foolish to kill the hen which lays the golden egg." When voters go to the polls on No- vember 8, they should remember that Can- ada needs a return to the two-party system, and they should be prepared to support either of fie two old-line parties who have served so well since confederation. Married At St. Peter's On Saturday last in St, Peter's Church, St, Joseph Parish, a wedding of interest took place when Patrick Andre Jeffrey, of St. Joseph, and Elaine Mary Sreenan, of London, were mar- ried.

The young couple were the re- cipients of many valuable gifts from friends and relatives. The young couple took off for their honeymoon in the northern part of Ontario where they will spend a few days sightseeing.

On Monday last Thanksgiving Day passed on quietly and for some unknown reason does not attract the public, Why, per- haps it is because it is not a day- of gaiety when people would feel like going to places of amusement.
