However, we do urge the electors to study the platforms of the respective parties, as well as the background and qualifi- cations of the three candidates who have accepted the chal- lenge to carry the banner of his choice. We have our own personal Editorial Page many deep and searching stu- dies in recent years. In a Province such as Ontario, where we have so much provid- ed by nature for our enjoyment, it is but natural that we should develop these gifts and preserve them for our pleasure and re- creation.

It is up to the public to come out and cast their ballot in support of either Dr. M. B.

It's an exhausting experience, emotion- - ally and financially. All the kids want is that you should take all their stuff down, help unload it, press a large sum upon them, and disappear back to Hicksville, so you'll stop embarrassing them in front of their new class-mates.
