THE FEDERAL ELECTION
"What is trend in your ridings and is
'Tory or Liberal victory indicated to date!''
That's the wording of it query telegram, we
received front a daily newspaper the other day.
We never bothered to., answer the tele-
gram. In the first place, we still agree with
that old maxim that you never know what the
outcome of a horse race or an election wdl be.
In the second place, we don't pretend tet know
the answer. And in the third place, we don't
believe anyone else really knows the answer
as far as the riding of Huron is concerned.
But we do sinverely feel thitt looli the
Liberal and ConsjrVat•ive candidates :11 the
riding of Huron are each, itt their own way,
splendid 'men. It is only, natural that ft), the
aforeMentioned reason, each ‘vill have a per-
sonal following. Then, there will be the usual
politieal following, regardless of the vandidate.
All in al!, however, we look for a rather
t
In common With reports from other parts
of thitario, interest in the eleetion here -to date
remains alarmingly disinterested. It is -to be
hoped that necessary interest appears on the
silt -fact before too long for June 10 is not 'very
far away.
To us, it seems that a singular aspect of
the election campaign to date is the scant
reference being made to the highly nuportunt
and controversial question of defence policy.
Since defence accounts for a very substantial
part of Federal spending, and since adequacy
of defence is of the essence of nationia sur-
vival, the issue ought to be itt the forefi‘ont of
the public mind.
This is particularly so in the light of the
United Kingdom's dramatie and drastic re-
vision of defence policy. Ali, White Paper
that explains Britain's new defence program
rests the underlying ehtuiges in defence policy
on two basic considerations. First, that
Britain's influenve in international affairs
k'ilepends first and foremost on the health of
i!s eternal to economy and the success of its
export trade." Second is that no defenee
exists ag.ainst nuelear attack by Soviet Russia
except 1' )S5(' of an overwhelmingly nuclear
deterrent.
Drastie changes in Britain's,delenve pro-
gram should be subjeet to widespread pultlie
diseussion and debate, if for no other reason
than- that, it' they are ehanges necessitated by
the, ehanged conditions of nuclear warfare,
Canada's lwesent defenves may well be as out-
dated as eavalry. The whole \yonder of it is
that with so mind' at stake, defence should be
aceorded such scant attention itt the election
)'a in pa ign to date.

II. R. Long was 'hired at an
initial 'salary of $900 a year to re-
place J. II. Tigert as principal of
Victoria School. ' Mr. Tigert re-
signed to accept a position as prin-
cipal of a public school in Hamil-
ton.
Deciding it was unwise to make
any further expenditures on the
site on South street, the board of
Alexandra Hospital purchased "The
Maples," the residence of the late
M. C. 'Cameron, for $4,000. An
architect estimated it would cost
$15,000 to convert the residence
into a hospital.
Under the supervision of Charles
C. Lee, the now owner, workmen
were engaged in renovating the
interior of The Sunset Ilotel.
In the results of the third -year
examinations at Osgoode Hall, the
name af Philip G. Kieiy appeared
among those who were eligrble to
be called to the bar. He was a
former Goderich boy.
After decreasing _for a number
of years, enrolment in Goderich
public schools had started to climb
again. In May, 1912, there were
more than 600 pupils enrolled.
25 Years Ago •
Since the start of the year, 171
men, many ofth "mere boys,"
elt4
had been give ter at the
Goderich Town 1 11. Most of thein
had been provided with one or
more meals.. Very few had a per-
manent address, and all were
"broke."
There Was a surplus of potatoes
in Huron County. One farmer re-
ported he was selling them -for 30
cents a bag --when he could find a
buyer. Butter could be bought
for as little as 15 cents a pound at
the farms, said a produce buyer.
Some eggs could . be bought for
seven cents a dozen.
Owing to lack of support, base-
ball dropped from the sports pic-
ture at Goderich. However, a soft-
ball team was formed and entry
was made in a league which in-
cluded Clinton, Bayfield, Seaforth
and Grand Bend. Prospective' play-
