On May 24th, Borden‘s Canadian Cavalcade presented a program feaâ€" turing several speakers and the lovely and talented young singing star, Evelyn Gould. This young singer presented a song especiâ€" ally written in honor of the press of Canada "The Song of the Press" which is given, below, for the beneâ€" fit of our readers, We cannot reâ€" produce the beauty of the music as rendered by Evelyn Gould, but, still, we hope you will like it as well ®s we do. The Pledge of the Press We speak for Freedom From Want, from Force, from fear Our voice is with the peoples‘ voice Lucky or unlucky, Friday the 13th April was the day Japs held at Tashme, B.C., had to decide whether to accept repatriation to Japan or accept domicile east of the Rockies, The Chilliwack Proâ€" gress hears it said that 70 per cent had signified their intention of reâ€" turning to Japan. Maybe they‘ve changed their minds since May 8. The Shawinigan (Que.) Stanâ€" dard shakes a finger with this thoughtful observation: "What we need, then, is not more facts but more conviction. More disclosures of graft and corruption will get us nowhere unless we have more honest people. Some sit up and yiew with alarm our ‘swing to the left.‘ But our need is for more people who will wake up and stand out for what is right. And for more people who will courageously take upon themselves that full perâ€" somal responsibility which is deâ€" mocracy‘s only answer to totalitaâ€" rianism. ‘Aâ€"little of this, a little of ‘that: At Simcoe, Ont.

Truth will out, according to the Newmarket (Ont.) Era and Exâ€" press: "It seems to us that the preâ€" campaign activities of political parties have largely included a commentary on whether or not a nominee is a "good man with the ladies." Maybe it is because the candidates are only now recogniz« ing that their riding has both male and female voters in it. Nearly every candidate introduced on the public platform has had reference made to his "appeal" to the ladies. It is mostly answered, however, by a wry rejoinder, and a display of a balding pate." _ _ _ _ _ What about the franchise for 18â€" yearâ€"olds? The Wolfville (N.S.) Acadian discusses suffrage and has this to say in part: "One reason adâ€" vanced for the granting of the right to vote at an earlier age is that young pe:]p]e today possess knowledge equal to those who in other days were much older. In answer to this might be said that wisdom rather than knowledge is the important factor in qualifying one to vote, and this is best gained by experience."
