In the Nipissing district, the big printer gets the lists, and the little guy gets the ballots. Not so in Temiskaming where years of fence sitting have qualified our Liskeard friends to collect as much gravy as possible from both parties. Z After the last election, Cec. Bond published a complete un- true editorial, stating that the Haileyburian had tried to stir up dirt over the election printing. If making a polite request to the election officer is stirring up dirt, it's true perhaps. What is even funnier, is that in the last election our New Liskeard friends didn't have a press big enough to print the proclamations, and after setting the type, had to bring them over to Haileybury for printing. The same thing happened this year. If ole' orrible had heenzin- side the office when thé type arrived, it would have been thrown out in the snow, as it was, Leigh Day is a much nicer person, and he ran it. But remember, when you see the proclamations posted up, re- member "we done it," even if there's someone else's_ trade mark on it. The only trouble is that what we wil] get out of it is peanuts. _epoetor We have yet to meet two more confident 'candidates than Arnold Peters and Foster Rice. And the Liberals still seem to be worrying about where they are going to find a candidate. FIO See the Amazing VOLKSWAGEN at SROKA'S_ WHITE ROSE SERVICE STATION ' Haileybury, Ont. Ole' orrible's election forecast. The Liberals will end up with less seats. The Conservatives will pick up a lot, and the CCF =---- = will be stronger. In 10 years - time the Liberals will have fol- lowed the example of the Brit- ish counterparts, and there will only be two federal parties of any importance, the CCF and the | \ Conservatives. If the Liberals had elected Paul Martin to lead them instead' of Pearson, we would give them a much better chance. As it is, the ordinary Liberal MO's must be getting tired of seeing civil servants boosted up to cabinet positions. Pearson, Pickersgill, St. Laur- ent, all came from the civil service or business and were promoted over the heads of men who had devoted their lives to the Liberal party.

I guess you wouldn't either if your dad were the en- gineer of a big Pennsylvania GG-1. It really scared-me and I thought it might mean the end of the rail- road for Dad. It's a good thing it didn't because next to Mom and me I think Dad loves that engine better than anything in the world-| He's the swellest Dad there ever was. I've heard him talk about trains as long as I can remember so I'll 'bet it won't be long before I'll be a real'help to him. It's a thrill to watch him get at his Place at the controls-and then throw the switch that sends the big train roaring down the track. It always gives me a funny feel- ing in my throat, and then I slide my hand in my pocket and hold on to my lucky rabbit's foot real hard until the train turns the bend down by the coal yard. I'd like to be on hand every day, but some- times it's too late for me to be up. The day of the wreck was a swell fall day. I'd been raking up some of the leaves in the back yard when Mom called that dinner 'was ready. I started to eat, and then I heard the train whistle, real faint, just like Dad blows it when it gets in the valley outside ef the town. I tried to gulp my food down as fast as I could when Mom wasn't looking so I'd at least ~ 'be in time to 'see the train come into the station. "I'm through, Mom," I said. "T'd better go watch the engine eome in." "O.K. honey,'"" Mom smiled wear- fly, putting Dad's dinner in the! oven, and thén sitting down to eat 'alone, 'You'd better put a sweat- er on though," she said as I ran out of the kitchen. I don't know why, but my Mom just doesn't seem to like trains as much as Dad and I do. ; | 'The station was still empty sair. I had a glimpse of the engine a when I got there so I was glad I had pushed my dessert behind the milk bottle where Mom couldn't see it. The glare of the big headlight was on the trestle bridge now just outside of the, town. Dad always blew the whistle loud when it got there, and the sound of it made the excitement start to creep up in my throat again. It would only be a few seconds| now until the engine came in. As it rounded the curve into town, the light shone right in my face, My hand started sliding into my pocket and when it touched the rabbit's foot I thought I was sure lucky to have a Dad like mine. The train seemed to be coming faster than usual. Then all of a sudden I saw it. Right across the track was a big truck. The train was almost on top of it. The lump} ~ in my throat felt like it was chok- ing me, but. I couldn't even yell. Daddy must have seen it then too, because the brakes went on, but it was too late. The engine smashed right into the truck! I saw pieces of it fiying into the TORONTO MONTREAL VAL D'OR Rouyn/Noranda OTTAWA 2 hrs. 30 mins. 4 Hrs, Ihr. 20 mins, 35 mins, 3 hrs, Connections in Toronto for U.S. Cities and Western Canada.

Daddy! Daddy!" I cried and cried, not daring to look up at the wrecked train. I felt an arm around my shoul-, ders then, and lifted my head to see Dad holding his favorite en-; gine. "It's all right, son. We can get a new truck in the dime store. See your Travel Agent or call TCA Office, Earlton Airport, Phone Earlton 48, - Look, our engine's not even scratched."'
