Two -Party System Needed !
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. Monsignor Bourdeau of-
fieia'ting. The ceremony and
Mass was performed in a well
filled congregation. The wed-
ding dinner was served in the
Dominion Hotel, Zurich, with
immediate members of both
families present.
Then many gathered .in the
Dashwood Community Hall
where almost 200 persons took
part in gaiety and refreshments
until the hour of five o'clock
in the afternoon, when e de-
licios buffet supper was served.
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.
In the wee hours of Sunday
morning the wedding party
broke up, again wishing the
young married couple safe re-
turn to their home to enjoy a
happy life.
