PAG!j TWO ~~~~~~- C IAULILN 3TTQ Ii«DU WUANIVLLF, ONT±'J.ARIO TI!URRA.DC ~.11 qAWA~ mA~h~ EDITORIALS Beiter Resuits TFîan We Expected. . Well! We are still scratching our editorial head with astonishment. You'Il recail that last week we published a ferv- ent appeal for the citizens of the town and townships ta accept. their civic respensibilities and allow their names te stand for municipal election. Maybe the folks in Cartwright didn't receive their papers Wi time te be influenced because they had a complete acclamation. But, iii Bowmanville, Darlingto», Newcastle, Orono and Manvers the people took us up on our appeal and red hot elections are underway at the moment in preparatien for voting day on Monday.. Naturally, being of a modest nature, ,%ve don't accept ail the blame. for causing these elections which will cost the municipalities some money, - and we hasten te assure the skeptics that we weren't being mercenary and thinking of the ballots te be printed and the many election cards included in this week's advertising columns. We were pure in thinking only of the civic welfare of the communities concerned. We are delighted to sée several new names includqèd among those contestants In various spots through- out the county and wish them and the repeaters every. success. . Now, a word of caution to these hope- fuis. We've heard candidates for election expatess the thought that they were aliow- ing their names te stand because they wanted te do something for their cern- munities. They would admit they were willing te mnake great sacrifice ef time and effort te help their fellow men. Some of these chaps will be sorely disappointed on election day when the votes are ceunted. As one.aid-timer expressed se accurately to a .prospective election candidate who had'mouthed these thoughts, "Are you sure the electors want you te save them?" It's inevitable that some will be lef t by the wayside by those ever se intelligent and discerning voters and the shock te the defeated candidate's system rnay be tre- inen dous. We urge every candidate te get out and work as he would in bis own business. Rie is engaged in an a'rt which is as old There's No Need for Sud-i >Many of us are ardent fans of our local Barons hockey team; others around Orono lean toward the Orphans. Both are fihe organizations who have built up a good reputation fer fast, dlean hockey of a type that is thrilling te crowds and exemplifies superb competitive spirit and' ce-operative, smooth team play. We just cannot understand the type of thinking or lack of it that this year is L&art and parcel of the game played by the akefield Lumbermen's hockey team. Practically every game they have played has been jammed with crazy penalties, 1ights and injuries of one kind and another. On Saturday, the girst game between Bo.wmanville and their club since the Barons won a protested game, ended in a brawl after' 70 minutes of bruising, penaity-ridden phaying. In our opinion, the coach is at fault; because he can either encourage this type of playing or if he bas control of bis tqam, squelch it very rapidly. The Barons don't as the his, where effort and energy pays off, where personality, performance and character play a big part, but work and more work is essential. Every voter is a custemer te be sold or lest and there are ne support prices te pull you out of the hole if yeu don't seli yeur preducts. We've always contended that a candidate who face te face asks electors te Vote for him runs the risk ef being a disillusioned man on election night. The positive answers he receives at the time quite often don't appear when that elector gets behind a curtain in the privacy of a polling booth. Far better te explain your purposé in running and what you hope te accomplish for your municipality. If he thinks you 4re sincere and capable,, he'l1 make the decision without being forced into it by yeu. Ah tee often we've heard defeated candidates mean about the number cf liars there are. If a candidate embarrasses an elector -by asking him te vote for 'him,' we maintain that elector has evqXy right te say "Sure" and vote the ôther way. Now, for those who will be elected. Once you enter council, pleaàe set aside' your personal desires and grievances and work for the good of the entire commun- ity. There's much work te be done and much te learn. You'Il learn that a great deal of the routine expenditures and activ- ities will be beyond pour control. Grad- ually you'hl settie down and decide that the men whe preceded you weren't nearly as stupid as you have been led te believe. Prom then on you'Il begin te be a valued member ef council who can make a great contxeibution and at the same time derive considerable satisfaction f rom your efforts. The more the effort, the more the satis- f action. From the fine type of candidates who have presented themselves this year, and ever the past years, we have ne hesita- tien in stating that the municipal affairs of this section of Canada willIsbe in good hands again for 1956. Please, electors, get eut and give them your support on- elec- tien day, next Monday. They deservse ijt. Either way, you deserve whatever type of local gevernment mnay be elected. Crazy Antics lay any dlaim te halos on the ice, but certainly they and the Orono squad play a much cleaner brand of hockçy than this northern team. The fans wouldn't have any part of tbem if tbey acted that way. Apparently, from information we have received from several sources, the O.H.A. executive bas been asked te take a band in setbing these Lakefield lads down a ittie, befere someene is seriously injured. There are enough hazards in the game without introducing new ones. AloQg that line, we couldn't hehp noticing the number cf players on the ice on Saturday who have lest their teeth, net through old age, but througb many years of hockey. It must make for interesting conversation on the ice, when one player lisps te anoth- er "Path the puck thith way." î No doubt, we'll hear more about Lake- f ield and what the O.H.A. plans te do about bhem in the near future. They certainly could use considerable restrain- ing. We Canadians have every right te be proud cf -aur progress. Our post-war growth bas captured tbe admiration cf the world, and a great future for Canada seems assured. But let us net, as a precociaus youngster ýmight, try te act the rghe cf maturity before we have earned tbe right ta do tse. Let us remind ourselves, cons- tanthy, that, as a nation., we have quite a way te- go .yet before we sbould expect ahi that our great neighbour country bas achieved; that there are some important dIfferencer> Metween ' Canada and the United States which make it foolish for us te try* te keep up wîth aur richer neigb- bours.

Emwo than a% tenth of their population, in a country ene-fifth larger in area, we have tbe real disadvantages assdciated with restricted demand and widely scattered markets, disadvantages naturally ref lected in costs.
