THURSDAY, JUNE 21st, 1956 STEVENS N WINS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES The primary votes in the United States haye placed Adlai Stevenson clearly in the lead for the Democratic nomination for the Presi- dency. These pre-election primaries are a device strange to Canadians and perhaps a neeessary adjunct to the system by which the people of the United States choose their representatives in the White House and in other public offices. They make up in some degree fer the leak of continuity ifl 1 public life as centrasted with the Canadian system wkii& h gives aecept- able party leaders the opportunity of.spcniling many years, possibly a lifetime, in active lie service. To onlookers in thiseveuntry the primary system shows a t t. one serious drawbak.k. Rival candidates go before the electors present their claim, for the party nomination, and it 1 almost inevitable that they create some division, poi:haps definite ill -feeling. Tee f ween faetions nf'the party from whieh united. support will lw required when election day comes. The contest between Estes Ke 14141 ver and. Adlai Stevenson itt the primary campaign Just concluded developed the features of a real election eampaign, and the rivalry be- - tweeu the two contestants was so keen that one might expect some voters of the losing faction to withhold their support from the winner on election day .in November. In the Democratic primary' only Demo- crats are supposed to vote, similarly the Re- publiean primary is for Republicans only; but there is no assurance that this rule will be observed and the switching of votes to any considerable extent could produce a false result. However, most of the voters play fair -- we have never heard of any large-scale sositchine. Although Mr. Stevenson looks like the winner of the Democ.ratic convention 111 kugust, there is no surety of this.- Gnvernor Harriman of New York Nv i 1 I be a formidable opponent and there are half -a -dozen other prominent Dennierats any one Of Whom may prove to be the dark horse should there be a deadlock in t h vo1lVetai.011. For the Republiettn- nomination only one name vill he presented, that -of Mr. Eisen- hower: that is, if health permits. And it is generally agreed that his candidaey Will mean his re-eleetion for another term. MERCILESS CRUELTY So many deeds of violenee are reported in the daily papers that One becomes. hardened to such things, but the ease of the young man found dead near a cemetery at Hamilton last Sunday would shock the caretaker of a morgue. The report said the man's fingers had been hacked off; tendons af both legs had been severed; some inflammable liquid had been poured over the body and set ablaze (poeeibly to prevent identification), and the body had then been thrown 'into a drainage ditch. The supposition is that it was a murder of revenge or vindietivenese. Whatever it was, it was the work of a fiend or fiends. One wonders what sort of mind could conceive such a deed. The perpetrator or perpetrators had no heart, no mercy. Had they no con- science at all—no sense of the retribution eoming to them? Perhaps t he reNiere sermons these days.

Rut it would be something to see George Drew and C. D. Howe swinging haymakers at each other, with Uncle Louis and C.C.F. Coldwell trying to separate them. ONE FOR THE BOOK (Napier Moore in Financial Post)m, Remember the monologue about "Sam, Sam, pick oop th' musket"? Well, it has actually happened. At an Earls Court rehearsal for the Royal Tournament, before 6,000 people, and right in front of the Royal Box, a Royal Marine dropped his musket. And he didn't pick it up. He went through the precisiondrill without it, fixing an imaginary bayonet to an imaginary rifle, with which he ,presented arms, sloped arms, n'everything. Sergeants turned purple. Officers turned pale But "Sam" never turned a hair and when he marched off the crowd gave him a big hand. There were conferences. Conferenceeright up to major -generals. But Major-General G. F. Johnson, who occupied the royal box as stand-in for the Queen, had a heart. He said, "Don't do anything about it. It could happen t� anyone—even me." - ONTARIO'S HYDRO a (Hanover Post) It is not known whether the Ontario Hydro system is a sound business or not. 'This is because the Hydro has arrogated unto itself many privileges that never would be allowed to a private company. Not many people know, for instance, that in Ontario a householder's electric bill is a eharge on the property ranking ahead of a first mortgage or even municipal taxes. The Ontario Hydro, ofte of the largest institutions'of its kind in the world, pays no Federal or Provincial taxes and mighty little to municipalities. OBSERVE THE HEN (Rotary Bulletin) Did you ever stop to think that hard times mean nothing to a hen? She just keerik on digging worms and laying eggs, regardless of what the newspapers say about conditions. If the ground is hard, she scratehes harder. 12 it is dry, she digs deeper. she strikes a rock, she works around it. But always she digs worms and turns them into hard -shelled profits, as well as tender broilers. Did you ever see a pessimistic he*? Did you ever know of one starving to death, waiting for worms to dig themselves to the surface? Or did you ever bear one cackle because times were hard? Not on your life! She saves her breath for digging and her cackle for eggs. "Before marriage, he talks and she' listens. During the honeymoon she talks and he listens. Later both talk and the neighbors listen. Our new unWersity graduates are most for- tunate, says The Regina Leader -Post.

BROWNIE 45 Years Ago Goderich has the appearance of a garrison town -since 1,200 men, representing five regiments, moved into the military camp across the river at Atrill's. It is reported that a company is being formed to manufacture a patented grain door in Goderich. The firm would employ 80 to 100 men. Miss Watson, of Lindsay, was hired at a salary of $500 annually to replace Miss Dunlap, who has resigned from the staff of Central School here. Six hundred people enjoyed an excursion on the steamer Grey- hound from ,Goderich to Detroit and return. It costs 75 cents to make a re- turn trip on the stage which runs between Goderich and Dungannon. Papils' tickets are 25 cents each way. 25 Years Ago A Goderich car dealer advertised new 70 -horsepower, six -cylinder .Studebakers for $1,155. Contract for the proposed new wing to the local hospital has not yet been awarded. The board meets again this week and may make a decision then.

Fifteen years ago, Goderich housewives could buy coffee as low as 31 cents a pound, two loaves of bread for 15 cents and five pounds of new potatoes for 23 .cents.
