I saw the school bus going out this morning—do not think it will. get through. Our road is open, I came out wiht the car. Yes, but you have a good car, Jack, and snow tires on, too. You are lucky.

She is one of Ontario's thousands of housewives saving all the electricity possible so that more power can be mode available for our busy farms, factories and other industries. How is she saving electricity? Eight now, a delicious dinner Is being completely cooked in the oven using only one element—Instead of several on the cooking surface. As soon as the kettle started to "sing", she turned the switch to "off"; the stored heat In the element will bring the water to a boil. Such a careful homemaker uses only proper sized utensils on elements, uses "low" heat for stews, and saves many a penny by making the best use of stored heat after switches have been turned off. Please save all the electricity you can! Even' the "little" you save, multiplied by the "little" saved by all Hydro consumers, will speed Ontario's growing factory and farm production.

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA (Advertisement) (Advertisement) (Advertisement) TO THE ELECTORS OF HURON Ladies and Gentlemen: In view of the approaching by- election in this electoral district, the Temperance Federation deems it to be 'its duty to address yon with reference to the temperance situation in the Province, and this county in particular. First, we wish emphatically to disclaim any alliance with or in- tention to promote the interests of either political party. In this county the temperance forces have no reason to look with favor upon either party. Our cause has suffered greatly at the hands of both. We do not forget that in defiance of law the Liberal Gov- ernment of Mr. Hepburn estab- lished beer parlors in this county and continued to operate them even after the Supreme Court of Canada had decided that the Can- ada Temperance Act was in force in Huron, and the Supreme Court of Ontario had declared it to be valid law. When Mr. Drew's Gov- ernment came to power it was ap- pealed to, to right this wrong, but declined to do so, choosing to con- tinue the illegal practice of its predecessor. At the last session of the Legis- lature, the present Government had a law enacted that deprives this county of the protection of certain restrictive sections of the Ontario liquor laws— a condition that had prevailed for many years. This act we regard as one cal - The Huron culated to make the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act more difficult and that will un- doubtedly tend to produce lawless- ness, drunkenness and disorder. We regard it as a deliberate at- tempt to weaken and discredit the Canada Temperance Act—a law declared by the highest court in the British Commonwealth and Empire as sound law, enacted in a democratic manner by the votes of the people, and a law that by pro- moting sobriety has been of great benefit to the people. The Federation Is gratified that the two candidates at this elec- tion, Mr. Thos. Pryde, Progressive Conservative, and Mr. Benson W. Tuckey, Liberal, are both men of estimable character. In casting their ballots, however, voters must consider not only the personal character of the candidates, but also the record of the Government. The Federation submitted to each of the candidates the follow- ing questions: 1. If elected, will you in the Leg- islature insist on effective enforce- ment of all liquor laws throughout the Province, and especially In Huron County ? 2. Irr the interests of sobriety, law and order, and effective en- forcement, will you in the Legis- lature support legislation repeal- ing Section 3 of Bill 151 passed at the session in 1947, and which ren - County Temperance F J. HOWARD CAMPBELL, President ders provincial liquor laws in- operative in territory under the Canada Temperance Act ? Mr. Pryde answered the first question in the affirmative and with reference to the second stated that personally he sympathized with the Federation's position, and that in caucus he would do his best to persuade his fellow mem- hers to adopt that view, He felt, however, that in the House he would have to vote with his party. Mr. Tuckey answered both the questions in hte affirmative with- out reservation. In a democracy governments are required to submit their record to the verdict of the people. Elections are held to give the people an op- portunity of expressing approval or disapproval of the government's conduct in office. A vote for a Government candidate is an endor- sation of the Government's acts. A vote for 'an opposition candidate is a condemnation of the Govern- ment's acts. We believe that we have placed the issue fairly before you. It is our opinion that it is the duty of all good citizens to place great moral and social issues above personal or party considerations. No more important issue than this is before you. We ask you to give it your most careful consideration. Go to the polls on February 16th and cast your ballot as your intel- ligence and conscience dictate. ederation NORVAL T. ANDERSON, Secretary morrow night, so I guess I will have. tostay at home Our road will be blocked. What is the use of talking anyway?
