RATT by rs Lj Xa 'the campaign . . "the Conservatives spent more money _Grahani, Published by MOST ABOUT ELECTIONS The: election of Monday, June 27th, was a startling one. ®*Previous to vot- ing day, there was little evidence that the people of Canada were taking it very seriously . .. and yet the vote turned out to be one of the heaviest recorded. It broke another record too, for the result gave the Liberals the greatest victory in their history. Another peculiarity had to do with it was reported that on this election than had been ever spent before ... the money was spent throughout the entire country and not a little of it" in the Province of Quebec. That this province com- pletely rejected the Party must give the leadership serious "food for thought. : In Ontario the situation. was, from the standpoint of the Censervatives, equally bad... and this was no doubt due to the manner in which the provincial party leadership was mis- handled. These are tangible things that the people readily understand and there was a real feeling that George Drew had deserted an organization over which he had exercised 'most authoritative control, Somehow, it displeased the people and the popular vote reflected this displeasure; But, then again, the people through- out the country were voting to sus- tain a government which over the past --fourteen years had built up an im- pressive record. As to the future, although the Lib- erals have an overwhelming majority the chances are they will not find the going easy. Our economy has already begun to show signs of stress and this poses real problems for the new ad- ministration. If the party is able and determined to implement the middle of the road policy promised the elec- torate we may under their leadership fare not too badly. It is certain that the problem of mainting production in the face of disappearing markets; of safeguarding us against unemploy- ment; of introducing a scheme of na- tional health are the vital problems with which they must deal. It remains for us to see that the government does not sidestep these issues. We can insure this by seeing that the local member attends to busi- ness which in this case happens to be that of the whole country. « % * x WHAT ARE YOU READING? Summer holidays bring us an oppor- tunity to get'in a little reading. It is surprising how many people can live from one year's end to another with- SAMUEL FARMER ESTATS Notes and Comments out feeling the need of delving into the world of books. The daily news- paper and the odd magazine are all literature that some folk indulge in. This kind of living is" simple but oh what a lot you're missing! Doors whole new world's broaden out before your vision, Travel, adventure in far away places, romance, practical sug- gestions on how to make and do things, psychology, if you like it and many books with vital spiritual ideas are all yours for the asking, Our public libraries have a summer holiday system that allows you to have a book for five or six weeks at a time, Penguin books are cheap and cover a broad range of subjects. Many other paper-covered editions supply the same service. Even the cothics have broken into the literary field. One word of warning, comics for the children, even of the better type strip reading bare of everything save the action of the story. Those of us who were brought up on the good old copies of Kidnapped or Treasure Is- land, Swiss Family Robinson or Count of Monte Cristo know that there is much more to a story than the mere plot. We remember how 'much we learned about the actual character of the heroes and villians by.the patient building up of the author's material. Our memory takes us back to the dap- pled green and gold of Sherwood: forest on a summer morn or the clammy, damp of the prison cell where Monte Cristo planned his vengeance on the world, If our hero refused a tempta- tion we fought with him through all the struggles of his mind and heart and perhaps we too learned something of value of this kind of inner struggle. Comics or otherwise, reading can still give us a tremendous amount of real pleasure. Business worries and household cares can be quickly blotted out in following someone else's en- deavour to overcome the problems of life. Books like the Tin Flute give us a picture of the raw and barren life of the slums and ought to breed a little more tolerance for others and a little more thankfulness for our own good heritage if we have one, The Checker Board sets us working on the racial problem again, with perhaps a new angle and a different contribution on our part. The books we have mentioned are "| neither old nor too new. We are not concerhed with their age. We are concerned with our interest in reading. Pack a few books 'in the back of your car when you leave for the cottage and see what a quick 'pick me up' they can be. Recital On Thursday evening, June 23, the piano pupils of Mrs. J. E.
