our diagnosis there are many speculations as to the future trend in politics following the recent upheaval in ontario we might as well add our diagnosis there are several items that make the past election an in teresting study first there is the rise of the ccf to a prominent position second there is the com plete turn of the electorate from the liberal govern ment to both conservative and ccf and third we must consider the size of the vote cast in this elec tion in relation to the possible vote and that given in other provincial elections with these facts in mind it is quite evident that those who did exercise their franchise wanted a change to one of two things perhaps the differ ence of which these two things desired may be found in the difference between 22 and 15 points it is very plain that the liberal appeal of past record was not enticing in the least but that some new program was desired with plenty of promise for the common folk looking at the vote cast it is also very evident that a considerable number of voters were puzzled uninterested or considered the election unnecessary that lack of public interest is perhaps the most dc- plorable part of the whole election if these voters had made a decision we might have avoided the pres ent undecided state it is clear that many voters believe that the old parties have not given dueeonsideration to the prom ises made the working man and farmer and small business man after they have secured power the swing toward the ccf means only that many of these voters want to give a trial to something bear ing a different label in the hope that the preelection promises will not be forgotten as soon as the election is over there is no use trying to frighten the elec torate by telling of the unsoundness of the ccf program we do not believe their socialization plans are possible in the period which most electors antici pated when thoy cast a ballot for this new party jiut tsomotimcs children and grownups demand and receive things they desire before they are capable of using the acquired whim the vote is a clean ul timatum however that people want a better world hot in the vague and distant futujre but within their lifetime the vote is u broad indication to both the old parties to make more speed toward reform even it securing the reform must trample under many of the old ways of doing things its ull right to shout that cunadiuns do not want new isms and know that they would be better with out them but progress cannot be retarded only di rected in an orderly fashion only by burns docs child learn that a stove is hot and only by trial do a people find out that the road to sure progress is by no new ism it is well that the next few years will provide the ccf with a strength in the legis lature to show the feasibility of their plans at the end of this tenure of office the electorate will be better informed perhaps less puzzled in making decision the electors look for something new mr drew and mr joliffe seem to share the honors jointly maybe parliamentary procedure wilt have to be altered so that two can take the helm certainly a little pushing or crowding will upset the boat v kitchen war front the canadian housewife who heh a family depend ent on her need not wistfully eye the womans armed tprces or the overalls of the war worker she can proudly amy vthis is my war too and man the kitchen recent year of food quality yon may call t nutri tion of dietetics as yon please not so very long axo the average honsewife associated these words with diets for individuals or for correction of obesity now every honsewife may talk intelligently of vita mins calories and food values and put them to prac tical use nutrition now an established science taking its place in universities is a very young science but snows a great latent power the axis utilized the power of food when they scientifically set about to produce certain deficiency diseases in the countries they conquered because of removal of sources otj certain essen rial vitamins the conquered peoples de veloped muscular weakness or mental depression or tissue destruction the housewife now can assure that this power of food is used as a weapon against our foes not in a negative manner as the merciless nazis are do ing but as a positive factor food is the hidden weapon of our armed forces of our war workers and of those people who must carry on civilian life it is recognized that happiness and food cannot be di vorced for food produces health without which hap piness cannot exist tho canadian housewife is fortunate that ner country still abounds in many kinds of food she can use it wisely in the first year of the war can adian home economists started nutrition services under which seven provincial committees were set up w under these other committees in cities towns and villages gradually sprang into being organized their projects flourished the women in these groups study and share their knowledge of what foods are essential and how to grow cook and preserve them this is the weapon of the canadian housewife its not a secret weapon but wisdom and under standing must be applied for the successful use of it and it has the remarkable characteristic of being an asset in peace as well as in wartime the canadian housewife will strive to use it well now in wartime and when war plants have been con verted to peacetime pursuits she will insist on this domestic wisdom being made available for the whole world so that there may be health and happiness everywhere v a difficult task ontario electors went to the polls last week and gave a no decision vote there in these days when we need to devote all our attention to canadas part to hasten the day of victory and peace it is regrettable that the banner province of the domin ion finds itself in such a position we may have a coalition government or as col drew no doubt more devotedly hopes a government made up of those of his own followers and some who can be deflected from tho liberal side to form a government what ever tho union the best that can be hoped for it is that it will carry on until a peace has been declared in the world war the electorate generally will hope at least that some plan will be devolved to carry on lor tho duration at least it would appear that col geo drew leader of the progressiveconservative party will be called upon to head up the new government much of his effort and that of hon mitchell hepburrt was de- voted to criticism of the dominion government it would appear that both were more interested in af fairs outside the provincial field but both will now have a provincial preoccupation that will keep them busy in the field to which they arc elected it is a test for statesmanship and the ability of a leader to temporize in a critical time it is a difficult task to confront any man much depends not only on his handling of the situation but on the ascendancy of his own or other groups 1 v
