The Election Issues
(By ANDREW Y. McLEAN)
se!e• The few days remaining before
rilEfl,p Huron riding citizens will cast
their ballots provide an opportun-
ity to arrive at a decision as to
which of the two candidates can
' best serve the interests of Huron
riding. The decision must take in-
to consideration not only the quali-
fications of the candidates them-
selves, but also the records and
ee promises of the parties they re-
present.
The Conservative, or as it is
.• now called, the Diefenbaker par-
ty record is plain. There are

• Asks Extra Day To Study
To the Editor
of The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: This is from an old-
timer to all old age pensioners.
The Tories have been in power
about as long as the Grits since
Confederation and have gone in
debt every year. Contrast this
with the Liberal rule, which has
had a couple of balanced budgets,
and this one a whopper, Did any
of you get anything from the Tor-
ies when they were in power, or
did they ever set a floor price on
anything you had to sell?
Now, I have sold eggs at 10c a
dozen. The floor price new is 30c,
and sold butter at 15c a 'pound,
now floor price 58c a pound; and
milk made into cheese at 10c a
pound, now the floor price is 30c
a pound, and have sold hogs at
$2.85 a cwt. live weight, now the
floor price is $23 per cwt.
I have bought wheat at 47c a
bushels and oats at 20c a bushel
to feed, to fatten hogs to the Am-
erican market at $5.00 a cwt.
Now you receive $40 a month
pension which, I think, is a very
fair thing, when you consider the
other fellows have to work to pay
it.
The reason they are making
such a drive to win this time is
the big fat goodse that is down in
Ottawa; they would like a chance
to pluck it.

Urges Attendance
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: During the past few
months we have held some very
enthusiastic meetings in the Sea -
forth Chamber of Commerce cov-
ering a variety of subjects. Un-
fortunately, many people seem to
think that this organization is just
meant for the people in business

advantages of having a recreation
council in a community", to Cli,n-
ton Lions at the regular dilater
meeting Tuesday evening. Mr.
Hayter said that recreation today
has taken on a new phase—that
of mass participation, and a re-
creation council in a community
can cover this mass activity.
"Clinton has some organization for
recreation, but are we doing en-
ough for the 16-21 age group,"
said Mr. Hayter. This group and
the over -60 people can all be well
looked after by a properly organ-
ized recreation council. Other ad-
vantages brought out by the
speaker were: the need for better
guidance of our children in this
modern age; more recreational
facilities in these times of short-
er work weeks; proper instruction
in hobbycrafts and art short cours-
es. All these come under a re-
creation council, as well as in-
struction in all sports for young
folk.—Clinton News -Record.
The case of the apologetic gun-
man was closed here last Thurs-
day when Thomas Welburn, 24, of
Halifax, headed back to prison,
where he has spent six ef the last
eight years. Welburn, one of two
men who held up Murray Grain,
ger, Varna district farmer, was
sentenced to two years in peni-
tentiary at his own request. Magi-
strate D. E. Holmes had announc-
ed a sentence of two years less
one day in Ontario Reformatory,
but the sandy -haired man asked
for "two years solid, so I can
learn something when I'm in
there." His wish was granted.—

First Twins, Now Triplets!
A cow from the herd of Nelson
Patterson, East Wawanosh, has a
very enviable reproductive record
spread over the past three years.
Mr. Patterson called to tell The
Standard last weekend that the
cow had given birth to triplet
calves, all of which were hale and
hearty. Two years ago the same
cow had twins, followed by a sin-
gle last year. All of which must
surely be some sort of a record.
In any event, Mr. Patterson is
quite pleased with the efforts of
this fine cow, and we can imagine
that she is receiving special at-
tention around the Patterson farm.

and bear fruit.

Meet in the general meetings in
order to improve the overall good
of the communiy.
With this in mind, we wish to
appeal through your columns to
the man living away from Main
Street in town and to the farmers
in our community. Come out and
state your views on anything that
you. think will improve our dis-
trict, and working together many
things can be accomplished.
Shortly we will be celebrating
the Birthday of Canada on July 1.
The local Chamber of Commerce
is unable this year to finance any
large scale demonstretion, but we
are very strongly advocating that
the general public should manifest
its interest in this great land of
ours by means of a suitable dis-
play of flags.
It is only a smell thing, per-
haps, but it might have a very
important effect on the young peo-
ple of our nation, and the new-
comers to Canada, in instilling a
sense of pride and loyalty that will
not be shaken by any adverse
propaganda.
Shortly we are having a general
election. All across Canada the
Chamber of Commerce is advo-
cating: "Vote what you like—but
vote! We heartily endorse this
slogan and earnestly pray that ev-
eryone will use his or her fran-
chise.
Mr. Editor, we hope that every-
one who is interested in bettering
this community of ours will come
to our future meetings with his
little grain of sand which, multi-
plied by many others, makes a
very pleasant land. Thank you.
Sincerely,

• Three men were recently engag-
ed in digging out an excavation for-
a septic tank as part of a project
which is providing their church
with modern 'kitchen and wash-
room facilities. It was not a pleas-
ant task as, after going down a
few feet, they had to work in mud-
dy clay. But, lightening jheir task
with occasional niendly quips, they
kept cheerfully at it until the job
was finished. It was a service
freely given for the church, and
thereby for Christ who is the Lord
of the church.
'It is a good thing for men and
women, and children, too, to serve
the church according to the
strength, ability and talents which
God has given them. There are
those who would not feel at home
in teaching a Sunday School class,
or who are not qualified to sing
in a choir, but who. have much
capability for practical things. Any
service, freely offered, may be an
expression of love for Christ.
There is probably more love for
Christ in our church than we re-
alize, but sacrificial leadership is
needed to call it forth, and guide
it in effective ways.
Church need money to carry on
their work and witness in the
world. But if money is plentiful it
may be at time almost too con-
venient 'a form for giving. A man
may put a dollar bill on the col-
lection plate without much thought
of what he is doing. When, how-
ever, he rolls up his sleeves to
tackle some task for his church
he is likely to put more of him-
self into it, and in the giving of
self there is a blessing.
But the primary emphasis of the
gospel is not on what we are to
do for God. important as this is,
but on what God has done for us.
In the realization of the grace and
mercy of Gad our hearts are
warmed, and we give ourselves to
God. When this takes place. then
every gift of money, time, strength
and ability is the symbol of the
offering of the self.
Love Seat For Antos
We think automobile manufac-
turers have missed a sales gim-
mick in failing to provide a sports
coupe with passenger accommo-
dation limited to a love seat be-
side the driver. Judging from the
Way young lovers huddle together
when they're driving around the
country these warm. summer
nights, at least half the length of
the present car seat is pure waste.
It seems a shame that father has
to pay for all the extra room in
the modern gasmobile. The vehicle
we propose would delight the shy
couple. You've seen them—the boy
has a disappointed, frightened look
about him and the girl sits straight
up, eyes front and just a little more
than half way to the opposite side.
Our car wouldn't give her a
chance to be so proper. We're am-
azed at the skill displayed by some
of the drivers whose girls are of
the bolder type. How they manipu-
late the corners from their cramp-
ed positions is beyond us—even
though we used to try it ourselves
years ago. There's one thing about
it—this two -in -the -driver's -seat op-
eration is much simpler than it
used to be, Most oof today's cars

ing to shift gears always annoyed

Don't Be Fooled By Conservative Promises
They promise "adequate parity", They don't tell you parity means
either higher taxation for you, inflation with rising costs of the things
you must buy, or control of your agricultural production. Do you want
some government inspector to tell you how much grain you may grow,
or how many cattle, hogs and hens you may own?
They promise you protection. They don't tell you that high tariffs, -
full protection mean an end to Canadian trade which under Liberal
policy is the highest per Capita in the world. Do you remember what
happened in the 30's when under a Conservative Government tariffs
were raised, conferences were' called, trade stopped,, and you couldn't
sell your products at any price? Do you want to return to conditions as
they were then?
They promise you tax reductions. But they also promise additional
expenditures, amounting to more than a billion dollars! You know
promises like these mean nothing. You can spend °more; you can tax
less, but you CANT do both at the same time.
