Letter to the Editor
Editor, Signal -$tar.
Sir,—We enjoy the Sunday even,
attend many of them. We believe
that the people attending these
concerts could be made to feel
more that they are a part of these
concerts. 13y this we mean that
it might be well to ha'Ve a soloist
or a quartette taking part and
singing a verse of a hymn or any
selection here and there through-
out the program. Then, the people
could also be asked to join in and
make it a community sing -song.
We suggest this with every good
wish that these concerts be bigger
and better than ever.
Yours truly,
AUBURN MERCHANT.

LIBERALS ItiTURtED TO
OFFICE
Canada has emerged from an-
other general election with the
Liberal Government of Louis St.
Laurent re-eleeted for another
term with a Sweeping Majority.
Every member of the Cabihet. w'as
returned, and the Liberals Werq in
the lead in every Province except
Saskatchewan and Alberta. Sask-
atchewan, the stronghold of the
'C.C.F. party, gave the majority of
its seats to that party, and Alberta
similarly favored the Social Credit
party. Outside of these two Prii-
vinces the two "splinter" parties
showed little strength and their
influent& in the new House _will
be correspondingly slight.
Huron, Bruce, Perth and Wel-
lington -Huron form a solid core of
Conservative ridings. Liberals had
some hope of electing A. Y. Alc.
Lean in the neW Huron riding, but
Mr. Cardiff bas a comfortable
majority of over 1,000. Donald
Blue, Lberal candidate in Bruce,
lost 11,- seat to Andy Robinson,
whom he defeated in 1949. Perth
reverted to the Conservative ranks
, with J. 'V. Monteith the victor over
James CorEy, who 'won the seat in
1949. In Wellington -Huron Arnold

graph in one of the daily papers,
the Kellogg Pact to banish war
was hailed•as a guarantee of world
peace. This was a few years be-
fore the rise of Hitler -to supreme
power in Germany. Peace pacts
come and go, and again, with a
truce in Kerea, we are hoping that
there will never be World War
III. The democracies must be on
constant guard lest some over-
ambitious dictator hypnotize his
subjects into aggression that will
again bring out the wardrums.
What is termed a security pact
has been exchanged between U.S.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and President Rhee of South
korea warning the Communists
that any new attack on South
Korea will meet resistance from
the' United Nations, and a similar
declaration has been signed at
Washington by representatives of
sixteen nations, including Canada.

25 Years Ago
Frank McQuaid, reeve of Mc-
Killop Township for 10 years and a
member of the township council
for 21 years,died at his.home. Mr.
McQuaid had been widely known
in the county and was a candidate
for warden of Huron.
At a meeting of the Goderich
committee formed in connection
with the Huron Tract Centennial
celebration on Labor Day, a recom-
mendation was adopted ttat a
memorial cairn be placed in Har-
bor Park to mark the end of the
original load and that a pair of
gates or pillars be erected at or
near the junction of the present
Huron road and Britannia road to
mark the entrance into town.

golf tournament for the Menese-
tung Park trophy. C. R. Beach,

Goderich came close to losing
the Huron County Court House
building when flames broke out
at the south end of the upstairs4
hall. County Clerk George George
Holman and Caretaker George
James used pails of water to ex-
tinguish the blaze. Two other fires
within a week were nipped in the
bud end blame was laid to de:
fective wiring. The wiring was
hastily being replaced.

with operating an automobile with-
out an operator's permit. In an.
swer to a question as to how much
he earned, the young man astound-
ed the court with:, "Two dollars

opportunity to sell his car to pay
Ins line—$10 and costs.
Oddfellows of the district were
preparing for a picnic to be held
at Bayfield, Delegations were ex-
pected to come from Seaforth, Clin-
ton, Goderich, Exeter and other
towns of the district.
15 Years Ago
Torrential rains with a fall of
2.20 inches on one day wreaked
havoc in Goderich and caused
washouts on several roads in the.
county. Guests in one Goderich
hotel and customers in shops on
Hamilton street were marooned
when water fiooded inches deep
over the sidewalk. In several
places water backed up out of
catch basins sending a three-foot
fountain in the air.
Waterfront observers were con-
cerned over two yachts from the
United States which had been un-
heard of on voyages to Godericit.
Word was finally received that the
yachts had weathered bad storms
on the lake and were continuing
on their way here.
Weeds along 140 miles of roads
in the county had been sprayed
and it was expected that double
that amount would have been
sprayed by the end of the season.
The application of the weed -killer
was expected to cost about $7,000.

One thing that wasn't cleared
up by the election results: WIKt
does Social Credit mean?
An apocalyptic saying comes to
mind at this juncture: Blessed .is
he who does not expect much, for
he shall not 6e disappointed..
Another ,query: Who had the
broader smile on Tuesday morn-
ing ---the Huron County Grit on
the return of the Government or
the Huron County Tory on the
Cardiff win?
There was a difference ot opin-
ion between those whd, held that
a quiet election meant that a
change was coming and those who
contended that it was a sign of the
return of the Government to office.
The .question seems to have been
settled by Monday's results.
Arthur Ford in The London Free
Press declared that if the Con-
servative pally were defeated in
ihe election then a few days ahead
the party would' be destroyed.
This writer disagrees; already
there is talk, of a_piece cif surgery
that might actually give the party
greater strength.
411 through the election cam-
paign nothing, so far as we noticed,
was said about the abolition of the
stamp tax on cheques. Three
1. cents saved on an occasional
cheque does ,not amount to much,
but it was a nuisance tax and to
business firms issuing a great num-
ker of. cheques daily the saving
must be considerable.
Some people haven't any use
for a hyphen, but although it is
a little thing_ it has an important
. place in the language",„, This is
. illustrated in one of our weeldy
"exchanges," which tells of the
xpression 'Cold war brides". seen
in iffother publication. The ex-
pressiork,,is rather ambiguotis and
,s hyphen is called for, because
-there' ii` quite "a:difference between
14renty-five years ago,, we are
reminded by a reminiscent para -
and our Amherstburg contempor-
and the Sea," published in Mil-
waukee:
"Most saltwater men Will
tell you that any vessel that
carries boats—lifeboats, that is
a ship, and any vessel that
doesn't carry boats is a boat.
Most .sresidents of the Great
Lakes area call anything that
floats a boat. The bulk car-
riers, the carferries, the
cruisers like the North Am-
erican and the South American
—all these are boats regard-
less of the fact that some of
the biggest—like -the Joseph
II. Thompson, for ingtance—,
were once oceangoing steam-
ships. that actually had been
, lengthened to become Great '
Lakes boats."
The writer of this coluinn; while
sometimes carelessly using the
word boat with .reference to a
ship, has a rather hazy idea that
the freighters plying the Lakes are
vessels while smaller craft are
boats. A few minutes spent in
the company of a good dictionary
might throw some light on'the sub-
ject.
