V P%~W~A~v~ With the federal elecf ion an- uiounced for Monday, June 27th, the citizens of Durham, for the Inext two months, wiil be listen- ing, reading and seeing alI the arguments with which eacb polif j- cal pary wili atfempt to per- tuade you ta vote for their can- didate. If wili be a hectic period Of organizing, advertising, broad- casting and possibiy some baby kissing and almost everyone will j'Qin in the excitement, some with odhumnor and many with fiery »nusiasm. Selllng Liberalism During thaf period, the writer Will be frying fa seli Liberalism to you. The main thing, so far as 1 an concerned, is that each and every person should become in- terested and enthusiastie about the election because its results wiii mean much to each individu- al in this community. Thing Before You Mark There are many tbings f0 con- aider before you decide thaf im- portant point of marking your ballot. There is the record of the parties, fhe basic policies of each parfy, the merits of the leaders of each party and the merifs of the local candidates. Unity, Security, Freedom The Liberal party stands for Unity, Security and Freedom, By that they mean that the dignify and worth of the individual throughout ahl of Canada is put to the forefront in their thoughts and deec*s. Ex-Prirne Miniisfer Mackenzie King is the perfect example of this policy in action. He led bis party in the figbt againsf poverty, exploitation and injustice. He fought for freedom; he fought for the common man and as a resuif he led the Liberal government for a record number of years and saw his policies Jus- tified in an expanded, unified Canada. His successor, Prime Minister Louis S. Sf. Laurent, was hand-picked by Mr. King for gov't. service and is showing that he aiso has that common touch, thaf down-to-earth friendliness for humanify thaf typified bis pre- deceos so r For Greatesi Number Thaf is the basic policy of the For Live Paint Protection and Beauty 'su*fl F H'O.USEý4PÀIe The famous Sun-Proof Two-coot Flouse Point gives you long-term property insurance thot you can't afford to over- look.

That is why every group, including industrialists, farmers, workers, small business men and others have confinued to eleet John M. James Liberal governmenfs since the turn of the century with only two exceptions. Thaf is why the Lib- eral parfy is known as the -party of the people." From Different Ground Conservatism springs from dif- ferent ground. Tories were called by that naine because they sup- Iported the party of the king, "Tar- Ia-r'", and that means the abso- lute king, sitting on his throne to preserve their special rights and p r iv il1 eg9e s. The Con.srvative creed was aristocratie, it believed in a hierarchial privileged society dominated by the few. Later, when this society proved unpopu- lar this group adopted the out- worn doctrines of the Liberals, and even iâow they are trying to become popular by claiming they will outgive the Liberals in cer- tain social legisiation, but by be- lief and background their hearts can't be in it. This move is quite plainly a swallowing of their oasic policics in orcler to win an clection. Cani you imagine the autocratie, aristocratie leader of the opposition weeping for the common people. It just isn't nat- ural. A Wonderful Record On the other hand you have scen the Liberal party in action and have benefitted fromn its sound, able legisiation. If has brought this country out of a depression and has helped to 'build it up to real status of nationhood; bas gov- erned wisely during a world war thaf wrecked the financial sys- fem of many counfries; bas low- ered taxation below the level of any other country and has brought in measures of social socurity legisiation which few other coun- tries have attempted.

PONTYPOOL' If the personnel of the Athîctie Club are able, in the future, ta organize, and, win bail gamos, etc., with the samne success thaf bas aftended their dances, they wili win a lot of friends and fans tbrougbouf this district. One of the biggest faults in this area for some years past bas been a noticeable lack of community spirit. Now that the latter is bo- comirig apparent, let's hope and pray that the traditional wet blankefs don't start operating, thus squelching the embryonic spark. Quite offen, in the past, somo wortbwbilo enterprise has been started by unselfish people, hop- ing to make our community a botter place in which fa live, only f0 bave some, smail minded son of a gun feel jealous because ho or she hadn'f thougbt of the idea first, do a first rate job of subver- sive action, thus bringing about the coliapse of the newly born, worthwbîie scbeme. Lýurope isn't the oniy spot where tbey bave a fifth coiumn, believe me. Last Wednesday niglit the Club bad a bard time dance. lt is a long fîme since s0 much fun and genuine good fellawship bas been dispiayed in that old hall. Mrs. Andy Sutch won the prize for the most thougbt-provoking, bumor- ous ladies' costume. George Van Dam won the genits' prize in the same catagory. If the committee bad spotted the oufragoousiy rag- ged ouffit that we wear every day and cail clothes, they wouid bave unanimously awarded us the mel- low tomato. There were many original ideas of bard iuck dress present and ail those taking part have the thanks of the commitfee in charge for belping to make a fine night's entertainment. Now let's sec you in some bail games, f ellows. The farmers are busily work- ing througbout this district, ton their fields, seeding bein he order of the day. Tree p]atin too is in full swing. Most of aur hand planters this year are fe- males, who bave the happy knack of being able ta plant trees at a rattling good pace while they keep the air full of liveiy chatter. Any one driving iby the spo.t where planting is in progress and flot noticing the workers, would think there was a flight of wiid geese hiking north. There seems toa be a sfeady, kind of bigh pitched gabie, gabble, gabble, broken very occasionaliy by a deeper no-te, where one of the male pianters bas had the good luck to be able fa slip an odd yard in edgewise, probably when one of the girls choked on ber chewing gum, and couidn't speak for the moment. As long as they put in pienty of treos each day, .hey are welcome ta gab. When bhey are doing that they are hap- >y. If is much better than having abunch of sulien, dispirited people araund you.

They can be told that to distribute more money at the present time would be self- defeating; that to raise wages, except directly in proportion to increases in production, is a grave blow to the worker-not assist- ance; that ta continue trying ta keep the price af essentiais - such as housing, butter, bread - down by law, while permifting the price of luxuries tao ' checked. simply nieans an in- creasing shorfage oi esseiitiaÀs DANISH HOGS A report from the Danish Co- operative Siaughter Houses states that the period of pig feed shortage is now over. With more feedstuffs and potatoes than the countrys pig population can con- sume, the number of pigs could be increased. The latest estimate of sow num- bers in Denmark was 249 thous- and compared with only 136 thousand in the pig census of February 7, 1948. Before the war, the total wvas 390 thousand, the present target of the Danish pig industry. It is a wise man who "No's" bis passed that of aimost any county Today, Canada under an abee- Lpei-ienced Liberal government is, Llooked upon with envy as the f avored land of the world. This government surely is flot due to 1be changed at a time when the country stili needs experienced and proven men at its bead. It would be as wise to change the ooard of directors or the manage- ment of a corporation or of your business because they had been doing beffer than anyone bad done previously. Best-Managed Democracy Some of these i-tems will be ex- panded, as the campaign continues but in the meantime a quotation from the Atlantic Monthly might sum up: "The various pieces of the very complex national policy which Canada is fashionýing fit fogether in a long-range program wbich shows solid and consistent fhought and is a credit to what is perbaps the best-managed. democ- racy on earth."

The four main sessions on the agenda will deai with the follow- ing subjects-i'Sfeps to f reer trade and markets"; "Monefary stability and converfibility"; "Re- gional Unions and the world c- nomy", and "At the service of the consumer."
