PAGE 4. Warm THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER This Wednesdsy morning as this is written, the whole of Ontario is in the throes of s provincisi elec- tion has been a very quiet one. There hasn’t been '1 enough interest created to cause even a fight and as a we write this the outcome of the voting here is un- I known. If there is one thing more than anything else i that an election discloses it is that old saying that 1 hope springs eternal in the human breast, or some- 1 thing like that. It depends upon the political com- plexion of those to whom you are talking as to whether Oliver or Perdue will next represent this riding in the new Legislature. We have heard it predicted that Oliver is going to be elected by at least 2,000 majority; we have also heard it said that Perdue was the man who was going to turn the trick and that he would be returned with a majority of anywhere from 500 to 1,500. Today the voting is going on. Tonight the result will be announced. 1n the meantime the only thing to do is wait and hope. Since the above was written and put in type The Chonircle has spent a rather busy evening in collect- ing the returns, the final of which, according to the figures supplied us, gives Mr. Oliver a majority of 563 over his Conservative opponent, Mr. J. N. Perdue. Though defeated, Mr. Perdue made a remarkable run nents that he had a . me of Mr. Oliver’s supporters were more disappointed with the result than those close to Mr. Perdue. Some there were who could see nothing less than a 2,000 majority for Mr. Oliver, will realize that the riding of South Grey, al- though slow, is gradually returning to the Conserva- tive fold. NEIGHBORLINESS If you want to find friends, just get into some Durham proved this out last Friday morn- ing when the big fire was at its height when the town officials appealed to outside towns for help. The help arrived as fast as motor cars and railroad trains could bring them. It was here from Owen‘ Sound, Hanover, Mount Forest and Harriston, the arriving on special C. N. R. train supplied by the railway company, and trouble. . All five fire brigades found plenty did it so well that an hour after they all got working the blaze was under control. On behalf of the town, the council and the citizens we bespeak our thanks for their timely assistance. We trust that we may never be called upon to reciprocate, but i .L!.. MAN’S INHUMANITY Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thous- ands mourn, but the trouble is that it is usually the wrong ones who have to do the mourning.

Thursday, October 31, lost to the present generation. To combine it with Armistice Day spoils both days. The present Thanksgiving days are days of merriment; Armistice Day should never be thought of in this manner. There is no doubt it will in time come to the level of a common holiday, just as Thanksgiving has done, but for those of us who still remember the war and its horrors, and those who mourn for someone who will never return, Armistice Day is a holy day, or should be. Combining it with Thanksgiving Day takes from it all that which it means and is the cause, we have often thought, for the poor attendance in the church and at the Armistice Day celebrations. In Durham we hold the service in front of the Soldiers’ Monument at night. We have never heard why, but is it possible this is done in the hOpe that the ' ' their service held at night because of the fear that a day- ebration would mean a small crowd? Per- sonally, we would say, let us have the old October Thanksgiving, and then we can the more properly observe Armistice Day in the manner in which it should be done. LOCKING THE STABLE DOOR Durham’s disastrous fire last Friday morning is; nce that it sometimes does not pay to In the saving of the money that should have gone into a water-works system, the town has paid for the system in the loss of the Meâ€" Intyre Blockâ€"and lost the building. Had we put the money into a prOper fire-fighting system we would in all likelihood have had the building. Now we have neither.
