A speaker was addressing a
group of business men when
when the public address sys-
tem ceased to function.
Raising his voice, he asked
a man in the back row if he
— could hear.
"No," said the man. Where-
upon a man, in the front row
stood up.
"I can hear," he shouted to
the gent in the back, "and 111

An old farmer and his wife
were driving along a road
through a hilly country. The
team, when they came to a hill,
would settle jnto the collar and
pull at a steady stride.
The farmer's wife spoke 'to
herr husband and said, "Hiram,
I have just been thinking,
watching this team settle in the
collier and pull steadily along,
how wonderful it would be ,if
we could go along through life
_that way!"
"Maria," Hiram replied, "pos-
sibly we could, if we were like.
this team with only one tongue
between us." -

Judge Fingland Retires
The announcement this week that
health had forced the retirement of
Judge Frank Fingland will be receiv-
ed with regret, not only in Huron, but
in the wider area in which for many
years he has been so well known.
Judge ,Fingland suffered a heart at-
tack -several years ago, from which—he
.appeared to be fully recovered. How-
ever, a further attack last month now
has necessitated his retirement.
A native of Huron, Judge Fingland
was born in Hullet and after distin-
guished service in World War I, when
he received severe wounds, he graduat-
ed in law. He began the practise of
law in Clinton in 1930, and in 1937 was
made a King's Counsel.
The appointment as Huron County
Judge in 1954 recognized a long and
extensive legal experience. The fact
that he was appointeir, to serve in his
native county and in hg county in
which he had practised, was' an unique"
• recognition of his standing in his com-
munity and in his profession. During
his years of practise he played,an ac-
tive role in organizations acrss the
county and never hesitated toassist in
furthering a worthy eause. His contri-
bution was recognized when Clinton
citizens arranged a banquet in his honor
on his appointment to the bench.
While Judge Fingland has retired
from the bench, it will be hoped that
an early recovery will permit him once
more to take an active place in the com-
f munity.
Schools . Are Targets for Thieves
Seeforth, like other area centres, has'
experienced a rash of school breakins
during recent weeks. In one ' night,
three local schools were entered and
• equipment damaged. •
The •Kincardine News, while suggest-
ing the crimes can be divided into three
categories, agrees detection is difficult.
Such breakins frequently occur during
weekends and the trail is cold before'
the offence has been discovered.
Here are the suggested categories:
"In the first instance," the News
says, "entries are made by young boys,..
who are not so much bent upon theft
as upon destruction.
' "Then there are breakins, in our sec-
ond classification, .by youths most like-
ly members . of the community concern-
ed. These are the miscreants who make
a dead set on cafeterias from which
they purloin candy bars and othercon
fectionery.
"In the third group are the so-call-
ed professions. They, in all probability,
travel in small groups. throughout- the
districts, breaking into schools. They
attempt and frequently succeed in op-
ening vaults and safes, securing sub-
stantial sums of ..money."
F-ortu-nately as far as area schools
are concerned, loss so far has been con-
fined to the first two classes.

A GOOD OLD CIVIL WAR
What this country needs is a
good, five -cent civil war. It
might' relieve some of the pus
and venom that seem to be fill-
ing Canadians these days, and
get them back to the important
things of life, like snaking.
money, love and rock gardens,
Symptoms of the national
ulcer ;ale everywhere: the fer-
ocity of. the Canadian flag argu-
ment; the lurking threat of
violence in Quebec; the grow-
ing defiance of police by youth
gangs; • the .increase in homi-
cidal tactics on our highways.
Perhaps a little bloodshed
would purge our native land of
this tendency to .quibble and
squabble about everything from
the national anthem to the wa-
ter level in the Great Lakes.
There's also the matter of
international prestige. A11 the
big boys—England, France, Rus-
sia, the U.S., China—have been
through an all-out civil war,
and gone on to greater things.
In each case the country was
so whacked out by the end of
the war that everybody stopped
bickering and complaining, and
got down to the job of becom-
ing a Great Nation.

WATCH FOR THIS STOP SIGN
A Macduf f Ottawa Report
ELECTION NOT IN SIGHT
OTTAWA—Canada will soon
have a "distinctive Canadian
flag".
In putting a Government-
sponsored design before the
Rouse of Commons. Mr. Pearson
is taking very little 'chance with
his political life. Even the
promise that the whip will not
be cracked when a vote comes
will mean at most one or two
renegades. In exchange there
will be the full spport of Mr.
Cauette's Creditistes and in all
probability a solid NDP vote.
It is doubtful if Mr. Diefenbak-
er can hold his own Party to
an opposition vote.
' The Conservative leader him-
self is convinced that, .having
taken the plunge on a national
flag, . the Prime Minister will
hurry to the country: to reap
the reward of his virtue. And
he is quite ready to fight 'him
on the issue.
In •fact„ Mr. Diefenbaker.is
ready to' fight on any issue.
Since his triumph over rebel-
lious -elements` of his-- Party -at
the February annual meeting
he has done everything possible
to incite the Prime Minister to
-an early election. He is con-
fident, and perhaps with some
reason, that another try on the.
hustings will put him back
where he wants. to 'be in Can-
ada's centennial year. , And, ev-
ery day that passes lessens that
chance.
To wait for a Government
defeat in the House is as hotie-
£ul as backing a -hundred -to -one
shot at the racetrack. With his
opposition divided four ways
and even Conservatives much
less enthusiastic than their
leader about fighting an elec-
tion this year, Mr. Pearson can
choose his own time.
Mr. Diefenbaker has only two
weapons and, he has used both.
He can obstruct legislation .and
has done so at times to the
point 'where Mr. Pearson'sad-
visers, or at least a few of
them, have suggested dissolu-
tion, • "
He can also carry his per-
sonal feud with Mr. Pearson in
the House so far that the Prime
Ministe'r's patience will break.
This he has, been doing effec-
tively enough to cause concern
among Mr. Pearson's colleagues
who have been urging an early•
summer recess.
They are suggesting that in.
stead of the 38 legislative items
which he has told the House
-omust be at least debated and
in most cases passed before the
recess, the -Government concen-
trate _on such measures as the
Hank Act bill which gives a
year's grace before revisions
cestors. "Yes, Homer, your •
ganddaddy was there, back in
'64, when the Legion, enraged
about the flag, marched on Ot-
tawa. Mayor Charlotte Whitton
slowed them for a moment at
theramparts with a tirade of •
invective, but nothing could
stop, them; They swarmed in-
to the city, surrounded the gov-
ernment, buildings, and fired a
-salve of resolutions. One of
these happened to pierce the
National Debt, and, the- streets
ran ••red ' with ink."
Or, "Yes, dear, I want you
always to remember, and to tell
your own children, that your
father was one of the brave
freedom fighters in the Great
Rising of '64. He was leading
a wave of our gallant lads in
a loot . . :'`uh, liberating at-
tack on the Seagram distiller-
ies, a capitalist stronghold. He
was cut down by the fascist
firehoses and seriously wound-
ed in .the us, lower back when
he fell heroically on the mickey
of rye in his hip ,pocket,"

al lancing of our abscess, breaks

must become law and charters
must be renewed. Without this
Canada's chartered banks would
close their doors on June 30.
Most of the other measures giv-
en priority could wait until the
Fall.
-- =There- • is- •no doubt that the
Prime Minister is showing
signs of strain. For the first
time he is exhibiting impatience
and annoyance at the tactics of
the Opposition Leader 'and hies
four or five henchmen.
But there is a wide gap. be-
tween a lost temper and an
election and Mr. Pearson has
not changed his stand that there
must 'not be three elections in
three years. Nor does, he want
the flag issue fought out on the
hustings.
There 'is little doubt that it
would be ,a' good issue for.the
Liberals, one that might win
them new seats in Quebec.
There is plenty of evidence that
the majority of Canadians would
like a, new flag and for those
who cherish the Red Ensign,
Mr, Pearson' 'is sugaring the pill
by officially recognizing the Un-
ion Jack -as the Commonwealth
flag to be flown on special oc-
casions and on ' any occasion
by those who wish to do so.
A majority vote on 'such' an
emotional issue, however, will
leave a bitter minority. , The
flag could arouse as strong feel-
ings as the reciprocity issue of
1911. Mr. Pearson above all,
must be remembering the words
of his predecessor, the Rt. Hon.
Louis St. Laurent, that until the
time came when a flag would
unite rather than divide the
'Country it was better to delay
action.
If a mistake was made it was
the election promise which set
a two-year time , limit,
It may be that . the Prime
Minister felt' that delay' could
not avoid the bitterness. If that
is so', Liberals may be thinking
of a cooling off period of at
least a year before Canadians
go' to the polls.
Whether the election'. is this
year, next year or the year af-
ter, itis unlikely now that -
there will be any change of
electoral boundaries. The re-
distribute n bill has bogged
down gal' how soon it can be
pulled out of the mire is any-
one's .guess. As originally in-
troduced the bill contained a
neat device by which the Prime
Minister and the Leader of the
Opposition would pick two
members of the boundary com-
mission in each province. The
NDP. objected and presented an
amendment and almost immedi-
ately the debate was shelved.
It now awaits a suitable com-
