IS OUR CONSTITUTION INCOMPLETE?
Despite the fact that A federal
VOte on MOntlay Of laSt week saw
the eleetion of more members of the
Pr°gre'"ive C"servative party
than of any t.ther party, the nation
is spent nine days in ntter con -
Palm about 'ate future government
of the eountry. To the surprise of
most Cana,kliaus it became evident
that losing, an election did not of
necessitY sten the resignation of the
party 'Which bad previously been in
power.
Of course several unpredictable
faCtors entered into the queetion,
one of them being, the outcome of
the soldier vote. As it turned •out
this bal/oting did result in cuttings
the PC majority by one seat, Since
that time the death of Dr. Blair, who
was elected in one of the Eastern
Ontario ridings by the PCs, has
placed still another seat in a certain
amount of doubt,
▪ The entire delay in final decitian .
rests on the premise that the Liber-
al; party might, by agreement with
either the CCF. or the Social Credit
representatives, •eke out a working
majority, an alternative which is not
attractive to the average Canadian,
and apparently not to either• of the
two small parties.
.As things stand at the moment
, the Liberals or the PC's could goy.-
- eht Canada only with the co -or -
atm of either of .these two minority
groups, neither of which would
agree to go along with the party in
power on any stiu‘stwn unless their
demands for consideration of their
OWII type of legislation were given
• approval,
in reality the nation will be con-
trolled to a large extent by either
MPor Social -Credit policy. -unless
there is another federal election in
• the near future.
. Reports at the beginning of the
• week indicate that Prime 3/Sinister.
St. Laurent is preparing to hand in
the resignation of the Liberal gov-
ernment, in which case John Diefen-

* A FINE COMMUNITY
ASSET
Last 'Wednesday evening we
happened to meet a group of golfer's
from Walkerton who had spent the
afternoon on the "Wing -ham golf
coutse. , It was gratifying to hear
them speak in the highest 'terms of
the 'fine faCilities -which we lia_ve-
our „local tours.e. Po'ining from
pembers..of the .Walliertcat club it
made good listening, fertheirs is
one of the prettiest in:1-1;is section of
the province.
It is thee, of course, that* the golf
. course is rightly the private project
of those who want to enjoy the
game, but in reality it is something
mOre than that. A well -tended golf
tourse adds a great deal to the at-
tractiveness of any community as
far as outsiders and -potential resi-
dents are •concerned. As an example,
if we were attempting to induce a
new firm tc locate in this town, we
would be very sure to take our
prospects to the golf tourse a an
aid to convincing them that -Wing-
ham is an tip -and -coming
tremendous amount of hard
work has, gone into the building a
this fine dub over the past six years,
and, be it said, there has been a
mum of requests for assistance frorn
the general ptibik. it is good to
know that ,ontsiders feel the effort
has been worthwhile.

baker will he invited to pick a cab-
inet and take over., There is almost
equally strong indication that the
decision of the prime minister, if it
is resolved as we have suggested.
here, 1011 have been made in the face
of opposition from some of his cab-
inet members' who favor carrying on
without a house majority.
The whole situation leaves the
Canadian voter in a nasty po§ition.
After being exhorted to get out to
the polls and exercise our precious
franchise, we are left to believe that
what we, as voting citizens, have to
say doesn't mean much after all,
Perhaps the Canadian constitution
needs a little rearranging so that the.
party which elects a majority of
members has a clear-cut mandate to
take Office, despite the difficulties
which may face it.
WHAT TYPE ARE YOU?
The Canadian Legion and .Hos-
pital officials are co-operating on
Tuesday and Thursday evenings of
next Ave* in one of the most prac-
tical and Arthwhile projects ever
planned for this community. Be-
tween the hours of seven and eight
o'clock on each of those evenings
blood typing will be done at the hos-
pital
Perhaps theee are some who are
not' familiar with the program
which is briefly a's follows: As many
people as poSsible between ages
16 aild 45 years trill offer a drop or
two of blood which will then be ex-
amined and classified in the hospital
labOratory. Since all human blood
falls into a limited number of types,
records will be established, showing
the names and addresses of all the
persons checked • and indicating
their particular blood type.,
In case Of ernergenc3,- when trans-
futhons are needed Without delay,
the hospital can get in touch with
blood donors directly, with the def-
inite information that those from
whom they seek blood will not have
to- be rejected because of unsuitable
blood type. Hours can be saved in
the case of persons who happen
to have one of the rarer blood types.
Perhaps the most important as-
,. .
Rept' of the entire program, as far
as the public is concerned, is that it
provides a very real protection for
members of one's immediate family.
Often blood types are similar within
a family and in case of accident or
emergency the hospital has all the
necessary information at hand with-
out -delay to check on blood type
Ivhile the patient waits in. danger.
This plan is one which is the
direct result cif the development of
• scientific approach to human safety,
and is one of the most sensible we
have in our present system of medi-
al care, tri
