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.

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 •OH!
