THURSDAY, JUNE 22ND, 1939 Right Man More Important Now Thon Right Party You miglit as well prepare for it, because it 's 'coming tsooner or later - a federal election. Are yon going to do what too many have done in the past,, just sit by complacently and be indifferent as to the policies presented by the political parties and vote for the saine old party your father and. grandfather support cd? Or are you going to awaken to the fact that today government je big business and you are a part of that business as it demande more and more of your elusive and hard-earned dollars to pay the ever-mounting and col- losal tax bills? With an election commng on we are flot so mueli interested in any one political party. For we have corne to the conclusion that their policies (after the election is over) differ very littie. What ie. uppermost ini their minds now seerne to be how to stay in power, and for the opposition, how to get hold of the treasury purse strings. 'hat being the case it behooves every citi- zen who has a vote to centre hie or her in- fluence -and attention to the important need of getting the right man into parliament- rather than the right party. SCritieising the party or governinent after an eloction is too late. Now is the time to make your influence feit as an elector by learning ail you eau about the issues and by attending the nomination meetings of both parties. Hear what their leaders and campaigu speakers have to say. Size up the local candidates - their qualifications, experience and dharacters to Xrepresent honestly and capably the best intereet of this riding in particular,, and Canada in general. Too often we have been willing to lot the man seek the office instead of the office seeking the man. Il your friends label you a Grit don't be afraid to attend the Tory nomination meet- m ig, and vice versa, even if some of your friends give you the cold shoulder or lift the eye brows in surprise at seeing you at "«their" meeting. This world needs a little more independ- ent thinking seasoned with tolerance if we are going to solve our national problerns and put Canada 'batk on the road to pros- perity. So regardless of party let 's dernand the beet candidates procurable. Choosing Y1our Lite Work With coleges eloseà and high sehools noaring the end of the school terni. it means many a young man must now decide what Ide life avocation is to be. The determining -factor for orne youths ie, "What can .1 make?" "How much can I get?" and every other way of expressing the thoughts of getting without considering the most important factor, "How much good can I do and enjoy my life work?" Many young men wifl also consider, "Hbw lhttlc can I do to get money, " believing. the gctting of money is the ail important thing to have if living je to be worth while." The Pembroke Standard-Observer quotes a rathor interesting table showing the oc- cupations, working span of life and the average earnings made during this average span of life. The table may be questioned as to accuracy. For instance it je clainied the medical profession average working span of life is 42 years. The average med- ical student is 26 years of age wheid he starts to earn and his life span averages 61 yoars. The figures hardly gibe, however here je the table which rnust ho based on statisical information supplied: Wor Occupâtion Life1 Medicine ............... Law ................................ Dientistry ................. Engineering . ........... Architecture ............ College Teaching * Social W/rk............. Journainm. Tj.ibramy Womk ......... Public Sehool TeacL.

It wouid Rèey. a case of doctors putting forth every ende,%vour ta extend the life of others, but negleet their own health. ýWhen you.ug mon ead the abave table, perhapm some onè will use these figures ta detemmine what'le ,work they sbould fol- low. Don't let thQ ý#verage dollar incarne perlite, span be yàujr 4ooiding factor. Any man eau uýake a suoffl of lite if ho chooses the Ide work hli l$M-4 for, and thon ep- plies humuelf accoidipgly. Grenville Kîciser, writer, would have the gassip and scandai mangers an the same piano. Ho secs ittie difference betweeu them and warns againet aeccptance of star- ies of cither. Ho furthem warns againet ho- ief of political stane thatare destructive of the character and endangor the reputa- tion of the other fellow. To illustrate bis points ho telle thie stary: Someane eported that a clergyman weut ta a meeting, which his wif e attended against hie wvill, sud in a rage dragged hem fmom the hall and violently forced hem ta go homo with bum. The minister offemod this defense, "In the first place, I nover attempted ta influence my wife. Iu the ýecand place niy wifc did not attend the meeting in question. In the third place I did not attend the meeting myscîf. Iu the fourth place, neither my wife nor I had any wish to go ta the meeting. And iastly, I hayen't a wjfe!" How often hem the smre thing eceurred in youm daily round?1 LAMENTATIONS av SCRIBE G County Councli Clutters Civie Wheels of Progres Since reading the deliberations of the Counties Cuncil sessions at Oobourg last week as reported elsewhere in this issue we are more convinced than ever that as a governrnent institution it is the fifth whcel on the municipal apple cart, and the membere of this august body rnight well bc likcned to rubber stampe. Why it requires forty or more able-bodied men ta, go into a civie huddle (or holiday) at the county seat three times a year for a prolonged threc- day session je beyond sîl human compre- henejon or reason. There may have been some justification for thie long-since antiquated "littie par- liament" in the daye of corduroy roads, horse and buggy transportation and tallow candie. But with modern highways, motor vehicies and telophones the borders of the united countie today, by comparison, are as compact as the emalleet rural m'unicipal- ity of olden days. Almost everybody admits wc are ovor- goveriied and ovcr-taxcd but we are doing nothing about it. To overcome both of these obstacles for the cake of progrees and prosperity we would suggcst that the legfis- lature put into imnýediate action its sharp- est pruning kuife, and bigget bludgeon via order-in-couneil and wield with one deter- mincd swoop a death blow to evcry county council in the province. True it would be an innovation and a shock to the usuai slow moving goverument action, but when donc it would be as weicomc and popular to the overburdcncd taxpayers as wiping out a' life long mortgage on the family homestead. "For Home and Country" We nover loec an opportunity ta say a1 good word about Wornen 's Institutes for of ail the organizations rendcring public and unselfish servic in a community, we place them at the top. Their activities arc sensible and practical, mostly of a hurn- itarian character carried on without fuss or show ta, relieve and give comfort and hap- pines to lese fortunate than them3Èelves. They cxemplify a commendable codperativc spirit which engendors enthusiasm and as- sures whatcver job they tackle it will be carried through ta a succeseful conclusion. F'urther proof of those commente was ehowu in the splendid reports prcsented at the West Dieham Wornen 's Institute dis(trict convention in Orono last week as reported in The Stateeman. It muet have been gratifying to the mem- bers ta learu that the greetinge of ,the Womcn 's Institutc% of Ontario ta Queen Elizabeth were placed in Her Majesty's drawing roorn at Rideau Hall during her etay in Ottawa. It was a handsomely en- boseed and iiluminated document in covers of white kid with a gold crown on the up- per right hand corner. The message read: "We, the members of the Women's Institutes of Ontario, beg ta present our greetings on this, the occasion of Your Majesty's f irst visit ta Ontario. We know of Your Majesty's interest in the Women's Institutes throughout the Em- pire and Your Majesty's active participation in the movement in Great Britain. It was in the Province of Ontario that the f irst institute was founded at Stoney Creek in 1897 and the move- ment has grown steadily ta its present member- ship of 42,000. Our motta: 'For Home and Country' keeps aur ideais ever before, us and Your Majesty's devotion ta those ideals is a constant s ource of inspiration and encourage- mient ta every member. To His Majesty, King George, ta Your Mai esty, and ta Their Royal Highnesses, the Princess Elizabeth and the Princess Margaret Rase, we of fer that age-old wish 'long if e, health and prosperity'. We have the honor ta romain Your Majesty's most humble and devoted subjects." Giants With Mysterlous Forces Speaking to the graduating claes of Car- negie Institute of Technology, the veteran Kansas editor, William Allen White said: "The only hope for a btter world je ta make people ta live in it. Laws won 't do it. Kuman nature changes only when the pressure of greeds is lifted, and men gener- ally eau afford to ho neighbarly sud de- cent in their relations with anc another without sceing their families suffer.
