broomlaead the herald is printed each wednesday in the office on main street georgetown authorized as second class maft post office depx ottawa member of the canadian weekly newspapers association and the ontarioquebec division of the cwna are we serious about politics with a federal election less than a month away there seems to be ageneral public ap athy which does not speak well for a demo- cratic country there is little street corner talk either about national parties or district candidates a toronto aspirant used a novel method of tele phone testing to find that many residents in his constituency did not even know what rid ing they live in let alone who was running for office and for what party we dont like to think this is the case in georgetown and yet we might be surprised if we made a similar telephone canvass for peo ple nowadays just dont seem to be politically aware the sad thing is that they juat dont care perhaps it is the fault of the two old par ties tike elderly people time mellows and different viewpoints come closer together as the years go by back in history a grit was a grit and a tory was a tory and they agreed halton a puzzle getting away from the national picture there is considerably more interest here in halton where a tagtime liberal member is retiring and a newcomer faces a pc veteran of the 1949 campaign contesting the election for the ccf u a man who is much better kh th previous candidates particularly in the northern part of the county while it is anybodys guess who will le the winner the edge is certainly with the old er parties in 1940 two candidates ran and cleaver had a i 500 majority over atkins in 1945 with the ccf in the field and vote total rising from 14 to 15000 the liberal majority fell to 700 1 949 saw another 4000 county voters go to the polls and this time cleaver got back his 1 500 majority percentagewise cleaver was approved by 55 per cent of the voter in 1940 46 per cent in 1945 and 50 per cent in 1949 an interesting comparison in percen- on practically nothing free trade and tariffs were bitterly debated along with the other political idealogies and one could be sure that if there was a change of government there would e a change of management nowa days we arent so sure radical minority parties like the ccf and social credit have up to the present made only a slight dent in the national and political scene they do serve a healthy purpose in keeping the established parties aware of the possibility of defeat and neither has been averse to swip ing a few good ideas from them the national picture at the present time gives every reason to believe that the liberals will be returned perhaps with less members but still with a comfortable majority in 1949 the distribution was 193 lib 42 pc 12 ccf and 10 sc the liberals could safely drop fifty ridings and still be in the dri vers seat tages shows that in the two last elections the conservatives have held steady at 42 per cent and any variance has been in a shift between liberal and ccf voters the 64 question is whether the liberal vote was mainly for party o rwhether mr clea ver had a personal following which transcen ded party lines miss bennett is certainly well- known in the county she has been speaking here and there particularly at ladies meetings long before the campaign started murray mc- phail though a newcomer to politics is also widely known in the nothern part of halton as is stan allen who has been a labour union leader for some years with three persons so well known in georgetown it should be that regardless of how interested the rest of the country or the rest of halton might be there will be a record vote polled in this district pot pourri making their home now in ingersoll are mr and mrs

dick prust jack wilson and jack harrison ron kitchen was making the last cast in what had been an unsuccessful day when he pulled out a lovely rod and reel complete with a 150 plug its been a long time since we have been in hamilton and we didnt realize that they had condensed the street cars aa a means of traffic control so we were surprised to read rec ently in the toronto telegram an unidenti fied man was fatally injured while walking along the queen elizabeth way only item in his pockets was a hamilton streetcar not long ago we mentioned the mysterious lady whosold magazines in
