Suggests Liberal Convention Results Sir: Now that all the powerful news media have made their predictions on the coining up Liberal leadership convention, it appears to me that these so called "Political Polsters" are more like the subversive ele- ment referred to during the World War as the "Fifth Col- umn". They are all guilty of trying to mislead the uninformed vot- er&• Doesn't it strike you fun- ny that when these phoney p01 - eters interview a person on the street with both microphone and TV camera, how many."Off Beat" people they can pick out. 801ne don't either know the ountry they are living in, or talldng about; and always a large number of persons not old enough to vote anyway, but "it sure brings out the Person they would like to focus atten- tion on. The Sunday night TV show that is produced with the Tax- payers' mOney called "The Way It Is" should have its name changed to "The way John Say - Well and Peter Riley would like to have it". Men like these, could be in part, be responsible for ' Separ- atism in Canada and the racial problems of our neighbour and , possibly the general unrest around' the world. When such little respect is shown for Auth- ority is it any wonder some people wonder lust hew loni' we can attract the "-caliber of Men we have to have to run our country. As on individnoi from a Vtllage, the shove are strittly- mY orm, opVateit I now wish to make a few pre- dictions on my own in case your paper considers them worth passing on this week. Prediction No. 1.; The highest contender on tlie first ballot will not be the next.Prime Min- ister. Prediction No. 2: After the first run off, their will be nine serious' contenders left anra will be a lot 'evener spaced than suggested by the Sunday night TV show, the 357 uncommitted delegates Villi do the same as In all elections, they will bring out facts from the guesses. Piikliation No, 3: After the next four ballots, the five re- maining delegates will have reasonable chances to win, with one exception, P. E. ,Trudeau, will show his greatest 'strength on the first .ballot and as he is neither conditioned or qualified to be the winner, his support will remain more or less static until his name is dropped from the ballot. Because of the type of person giving support to Trudeau its hard to predict where his support will then go, the one thing sure theY will try to win their vote, in any casewhen the third last man is dropped his votes will be div- ided evenly between the two remaining, Robert Winters and Paul Martin, Robert Winters being our next Prime Minister with 1240 votes over Martin's 1236. This "Cliff Hanger" will show that Walter Gordon's- support for Trudeau was no more good than Judy taMaish's support abas for Henget. , Gerald Milan& bublin, Ontario. Wm. Stapleton of Dublin took a business trip to Buffalo. Uoyd McLean son of John McLean of Chiselhurst has been feeding a calf which was sold reeenlly as baby beef at 11 months old, weighed -800 lbs., and brought the sum of $92.00. • • • From The Huron Expositor April 14, 1893- D. Weismiller of Hensall has sold his store and stock at Kip - pen to Mr. Canning of near Tor- onto. Ten young men from Gode- rich drove to Manchester on Good Friday morning and there launched their canoes on the Maitland and floated to Gode- rich. R. Ross of Blake is a lover of good horse flesh and spends his evenings in breaking colts and speeding flyers. While Peter Capiing and his daughter Rosetta of Blake were boiling syrup the latter had the misfortune to scald her foot very badly. Miss Ida Dick of Hensall left this week for Alvinston where she has secured a position as milliner in one of the leading establishments. Some boys loafing around the corner of Main and Market Sts. broke one of the large panes of glass -in Robt. Willis' Shoe store. J. P. Brine auctioned off the Morrison farm on the north road near Walton. The farm con- tains 117 acres and was pur- chased by Lewis McDonald for $6,000. John Grieve V.S. has removed his residence and office from Main St. North, to his new resi- dence on Goderich St., one door east of Dr. Scott's office.

George Anderson of Egmond- ville who has been at the paren- tal home in the village, left this week to complete his final year at Toronto University. Sugar and RELEASED FROM CAP–TIVITYn Had a taste of Ater domestic freedom and peke urg he recent holidays. Daughter Kim went off to spend a few days with her Muni in the city. And there I was, all alone in the big house. For the first time in years, nobody to bug me. Not a soul to tell me it was time to get up or go to bed. Nobody to tell me to stop going this, or , start doing that. Nobody to natter away while I was trying to read the paper. It was a wild, delirious feel- ing. Only a man who is belea- guered by women most of his waking hours can appreciate how I felt. I just decided to let 'er rip, go the whole hog and let the chips fall where they might. First morning I slept right through. Until 8:30. I even jay there, grinning defiantly and said, right out loud, "I wopi get up until I feel like it" And there was no argument. Seven minutes later, instead„ of the usual juice, toast and - coffee, I ripped the cap off a bottle of beer and drank it, right there in the living -room, not the kitchen, with my bare feet up on the best chair. It gave me a glorious sense of sheer freedom. And a headache. But I didn't care. I read the morning paper for 20 minutes straight without being interup- ted. Unheard of luxury! For the rest of the day, I not only threw convention to, the wind, but flouted every domes- tic rule that has been pounded into me in 20 years. I read a novel instead of marking exam papers. I delib- erately let my whiskers grow, -right through until noon. I mal- iciously dirtied every ash -tray hi the house. I refused to take out the garbage. I got crumbs all over the kitchen floor and just left them there, crunching happily around in them. I didn't even go down to the basement and do the washing. I read Mad magazine. I threw a stack of exam papers on the floor and kicked them all over the room. I ripped up a couple of bills that came in the mail. And I ate whatever and when- ever I darned well pleased. Pea- nut -butter and jam sandwich and frozen oyster soup for lunch. With a wine sauce that I never got around to cooking. Didn't eat until some crazy hour. About 12:30. At dinner -time, I did the same. Just sneered at the big roast of beef • cooked for me before the girls left. Had exact- ly what I wanted, pork and beans. And exactfy when I felt like it. About 6 p.m. I just let the old dishes pile up anywhere. Didn't even put them in. the sink. In fact, I sneered at them a couple of ANNOUNCEMENT Having sold the business of John Bach Farm Equipment to Vin- cent Farm Equipment Ltd. we want to say Sincere Thanks to all, for your patronage and good will during the past years.

That night I carried right on with my orgy of freedom. Had a brandy and a cigar somebody gave me six months ago when his wife had a baby. Searched out relentlessly and watched three westerns on TV, includ- ing the late -late. Did I go to bed then? Not on your life. Went down and with. out so mueli as a by-your-leave, made myself a big, fat roast beef and horseradish sandwich. Washed it down with four cups of my special coffee, the real thing that you can stand a spoon io. And when T went to bed, it was exaetly when I felt like it, with. no nagging. It was about 1:30, as I recall. Ad it was about 4:30 when that snack were off and I went to sleep. By Bill Smiley Next day wasn't BO wild or hilarious, quite. Oh, the free- dom was still there. But so were the dishes and climbs and ash -trays and exam papers. And nobody else. I must admit a small surge of pure rage went through me because no- body had cleaned the place up. I didn't just give up, though. I went right on dirtying dishes and paddling around in my pyjamas and smoking like a dieSel truck. On the third morning, the cleaning lady arrived. She was a little taken back when I embraced her heartily. And she was even more surprised when I followed her about all morning, babbling away about nothing. There's nothing like freedom. Wives should go away and leave their husbands alone for a few days,' once a year. It would save a lot of marriages. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. OF CANADA, LTD.
