mos two theacton free press acton ontario tiiulthuay novemiucr 15 lmi pf election thoughts perhaps some of you ilka ouraelvei can re member earlier election whore wek balore he election the torlet in one camp and the grlti in the other were not teen in each others com pu we dont argue it wata pood thing but certainly both sides took the issues to heart which is more than can be said today evi dence of the apathy was again found in the nomination meeting last week when only a hand ful of county citizens attended and those attend ing decided a public meeting following the nominations was unnecessary bear in mind the candidates were on hand and p tojjiscuss the issues but the audience was lacking tdhoar- tttern quite a contrast to those nomination meetings that were regarded as the highlight of th campaign and usually packed the town hall in milton attendance at meetings of tandi- dales has been very poor unless some form of entertainment is offered and the speeches are i apt to a minimum this sort of thing isnt only in evidence in this election but has been seen in these parts for the past few years the public is certainly more interested in a dance and a free lunch than they are in hearing about the affairs bfthelrprovm o dominion for that matter- bot taxes are certainly ajively topic which doesnt seam listed on any of the platforms per haps that s the reason for keener interest in muni cipal affairs one cannot help wondering how a platform would be received if it were based on less free public service and reduction of taxes a plan that gave the worker his money earned without deductions and let him supply his own needs but perhaps we are already too involved to regain our independence whatever you think be sure and vote next week and may the bost men be chosen for the positions of public trust those turkey suppers the annual fowl suppers have been getting good crowds and proving very popular events throughout the town and district they un doubtedly offer the biggest food value to be pro cured these days humanity always appears at its best at a fowl supper ask the average person to sit patiently and twiddle his thumbs for half an hour or so on any other occasion and there would be a djekens of a fuss but a fowl supperl well that s a dif ferent thing dozens of people sit docile even amiably awaiting the second or third table with no visible signs of impatience and then when they do arrive at the table they eat their meal happily but quickly to make rbom for the next battalion of hungry guests the meals of course are a sublet in them selves turkey is the favourite of late years brown well done and accompanied by fluffy dressing mashed potatoes turnips and peas salads and ellies are a must and what a colorful variety from which to choose then the platter cf turkey is passed once more symbolic of coun try hospitality it isn t essential that one have a second helping but it s pretty hard to resist if you have any rpom left you go on to pie any ariet ou care to name hot tea or coffee and onnt mes an apple to eat in the car on the way homo it is a terrific ob for he women who are augmenting the funds of thi r 50c lty in th s manner ind for the husb inds who arc occasion ally prlsstd into service but for thi r console tion it is vtry doubtful if then is my n cer more satisfying custom than the annual fowl supper are you interested we people on the north americ in continent tli nk we are pretty good our stindurd of liv n1 is high but so is the cost of liv ng we claim to be the upholders of demooac though many of us don t quite understand its true meaning we all claim to be christians unfortunately our ex lmple isn t the best tht democracy we uphold by all getting out and vot ing on elect on day is something many don t understand and consequently many don t bother to vote on election day it may be ra mng the snow may be deep there is too much work to do men fought for the privilege of voting and women screamed until tney were granted equal franchise now a 50 per cent registration for voting is good north americans went over to korea to show them our wonderful way of life and our won derful support of democracy but back in 1948 0 per cent of the south koreans registered 10 vote more downfalls of ways of life have been brought about from within a nation or empire than from without one of the most recent ex amples was the downfall of france in the last world war stalin and his reds are apparently the next outward threat but a itlll larger threat is the in ward complacency of the people that inhabit the democratic countries they teom numb to all the writings and talking of the newspaper maga zine and radio in elites close to this town knowrrcommun- ihiciwunlnnuctkmand pollalafgashara of votes france fell quickly in the last war and one of the reasons was the prewar public apathy that voted into office the undermining leaders on election day next thursday nov 22 get out and vol for

united states than americans do about canada reports the canada u s committee on education but the ignorance on both sides is appalling in recent surveys canadian students includ ing those attending university were found to have only the sketchiest knowlodge of u s his tory and geography on the other side of tho border more than half those queried could not name the capital of canadoj nor any prominent canadian since the days of wolfe anctmohtcalm afcwthoughtthat mackenzie king was a hoc key player this stalo of affairs observes the financial post raises interesting questions about the edu cational facilities offered in canada and tho united states certainly our mutual ignorance of each other s country is a constant source of irrita tion to citizens on both sides of the border and it could become dangerous too when they go abroad canadians and amen cans never tire boasting to less fortunate peoples about how well we know each other and get along on this enlightened continent when com pared with others it is true our record has been qood but decidedly there is room for improve ment and the place for that improvement as this int committee suggests is in our schools and our press editorial notes the only difference well almost between new york and our own hometown is that we don t get a crick buildings our neck looking at the tall even life long liberals will be glad to be greeted on the front page of the star by the pic ture of someone other than the liberal leader in ontario according to an editorial in a neighbouring exchange ontario s population now 4 512 000 will reach 5 000 by 1961 this atom bomb power has certainly been taken seriously in that office two opportunities for citizenship within the next few weeks a vote on provincial affairs next thursday and a
