Leader Must Appeal to All Elements
Announcement last week of the
retirement of Hon. George A. Drew
`•,as leaderof the Conservative party
came as a shock to his many support-
ers across Canada. While Col. Drew
had not been in the best of health for
some weeks, it was considered that
his condition was such that rest and
'Medical care would shortly restore
kun to his usual vigor. That this
'rs►as not the ease was indicated by the
resignation which he handed to his
party .heads.
It is unfortunate that at the
lighth of a career during which
Much of value was contributed to
the Canadian scene Col. Drew finds
he is no longer able to carry on. Cer-
tainly his retirement is a loss to his
party and to Canada as well.
This week Conservatives place in
motion the machinery that will re -
'suit in the selection of a new leader.
The position is one of great re-
sponsibility. Not only must a leader
possess sincerity and consistency —
he must have,a national appeal. Only
a party representing and speaking
for . all the divergent elements that
make up Canada is able to assume.
its responsibility as an alternative
to the party in power. There will
be difficulty finding, certainly with-
in Parliament at any event, a man
who appreciated as did Mr. Drew,
the necessity of such consistency and
sincerity and who at the same time
possesses a necessary grasp of dom-
estic administrative problems.
"Don't Give Fire a Place to Start"
Each year in Canada there is lost
through preventable fires about five
hundred lives and property valued at
one hundred million dollars.
Is it anykwonder then that there is
broad concern about this needless
and appalling loss? The only diffi-
eulty is that the concern is not gen-
eral enough. The tragic losses con-
tinue year after year.
National Fire Prevention Week is
designed to bring to the attention of
the public ways in which fire can be
prevented and emphasizes during
the designated week common
sense practises which should prevail
throughout the year. The occasion
has the whole -hearted endorsation
of public bodies and individuals as
is indicated by the messages appear
Ing on pages six and seven of this
issue. 7*
The sad part' of the whole businest
of course, is that a single fire in
which 479 Canadians perished and
property_ worth $91 million was de-
stroyed would unquestionably be
deemed a national disaster of shock-
ing magnitude and be long remem-
bered as such. When, however, as in
1954, such tragic loss of life and pro-
perty is' spread over a year and is
the . sum total of more than 68,000
separate fires, the impact en the
public conciousness is very much
smaller.
Yet, the tragedy is, if anything,
compounded because nearly all these
fires were the result of somebody's
carelessness, negligence or indiffer-
ence. Whether they broke out at
home, on the farm, in the factory,
or wherever, most 'of them need not
have happened.
This is the stark reality behind
repeated pleas for greater Bare.

At Bethel Event
With the singing of the Pro-'

the choir of Bethel United Church,
McKillop, opened the special ann-
iversary,services at the morning
service op Sunday. The church
which has recently been redecorat-
ed, had added beauty in the num-
erous bouquets of lovely dahlias
and' gladioli. The music • for the
day was under the direction of Miss
Barbara Boyd. During the morn-
ing service the choir sang the an-
them, "Blessed is the Nation,"
Miss Mary Dennis sang "Hear.
Our Prayer," and a duet, "There's
No Disappointment in Heaven,"
was given by Miss. Norma -Leem-
ing and Mr. Chas. Boyd.
The church was filled to capacity
to hear the guest speaker, the Rev,
Bruce Hall, of Seaforth. Mr. ' Hall
used as his text, the story of the
condemnation of the woman' taken
in adultry and her redemption
through Jesus' forgivness and love,
ale. Hall suggested that Jesus saw
the inherent good in this woman
and in hisChristian xsti n love for her.
Ile gave her a goal to strive for.
Mr. Hall stressed that we should
do with our friends .ha Jesus did
with this woman, We should et-
pect great things of them,and
"place a Brown over their eads,
and they, for the rest' of their lives
would try to grow tall enough to
wear it",
At the evening service Mr. Hall.
spoke on the theme. "The Goodn'e'ss.
