Midgots Plazy Orono At the invitation of the Orono Midget Basebail Club, Bill Mut- ton's Bowmanvile Midget team will play their first exhibition game in Orono on Tuesday, May 24. Although no definite schedule bas been drawn up for the mnid- gets it is expected that there will be a ntumber o! exhibition games played during the season. This first game is due to start at 10 a. m. at Orono park. With a littie more than fi )Y weeks to go before Election Di ýk, the campaign lis definitely starti is to warm up and general interi 7s. in the resuit is being stimulate( ry Tuesday night, while doing littie baby sitting and reading home . . for a change . . I cai to the conclusion that it was abc tîme a littie good humor w brought into the campaign.i f ar, the leaders and the other po ticians have been hammeri: away at each other on the natior front and iocally the oppositi, has been pecking away in a fra tic effort to find some fault w: the Liberal government. Th. have even gone so far as te extei sympatby toi me because I ha, chosen to support the Liber party. While their thoughtfulne in that regard is appreciated tlii sincerity is a doubtful measure. Frankly, it ail seems a littlei diculous and confusing. Here( the one hand we have Liber government which bas been, power since 1935. It bas led us oi Of the depression of the '30s; hi carried on a war effort unexceliE in any other country; has treatE its veterans better than any ot] er country; has assisted in the re-establishment by extending ii dustry and by providingmo 'jobs per capita thani any oth( country; bas kept exports at t]^ highest level in history; hz ruht about worthwhile soci; legislations such as unemploymer insurance, old age pensions, fani ly allowances and heaith meai uires. And it has done that whil lowering the national debt b billions and at the same time prc viding the citizens with the lowe. tax rate o! any country in th world. It has also kept the citi. ens from heing exploited by con tinuing rent controls, flour subsi dies and other like measureý What more could anyone wan from a good government? On the other hand you have group of men who, though the- claimi to be ready to take ove the reins of government, have o. fered little to show that they ar, prepared to do so as effective], as the government already in poxw er. They are criticising the go'. ernment's action on many point but offer nothing ta show wha they would do if they were eleci ed. I feel that the voters are mor intelligent than the Conservativeý apparently believe. Talk of sal pails in Quebec and other similai sidelines must fail to convinc( people when ail around them the, can see evidence that they bavi been living under good governý ment. So, let's look at this electior reasonably and with good humor We shahl refuse to be drawn intc bitter criticism of the oppositior because we feel that in the Lib- eral government we have a won- derful product to sell. We placE it on a similar basis to, selling any product and feel that we can d( more by telling you the good points of our merchandise than we can by riding the blazes out of the challengers, especialiy when their arguments have no more basis in fact than they have at present. All we ask is that you look around you, look at the pros. perous happy faces o! the people you meet, and then make up your minds to vote Liberal so that the wonderful government you've bac may be continued. Let's not gam- ble on the future. Vote Liberal. Ipeningy ve1 OVER 500 ATTEND ing CANDIDATE'S TEA eSt AT LIONS' CENTER ra at Something new by way of poli- mie tical campaigning came to Bow- out manville Wednesday afternoon vas when the Women's Liberal Asso- So ciation of the town held a "Get :>Ji- Acquainted with the Candidate" ng tea at the Lions Community Cen- nal tre here and attracted an estimat- on ed five to six hundred ladies rep- n- resenting the entîre county and ith several outside centres. .ey The Centre was ibeautifully de- Md corated with cut flowers for the ive occasion with one room being set ral aside for serving the lunch and ess the others lined with chairs to eir take care of the huge crowd. *Gleaming silver, rare tablecloths ri- and a most unusual and attractive on centrepiece decorated the serv- al ing table. in Notice o! the tea had been given )ut by the members of the executive las who had done their utmost to in-, cd vite every lady o! the com.munity :d either by personal invitation or '- by advertisements. In the rural Elr areas, the information had been ln passed along by the Liberal or- re ganizations in each polling sub- ýer division so that the response was he exceptionally gratifying. as In the receiving line which ia greeted the ladies were the Lib- nt eral Candidate, John M. James, Shis wife, Mrs. James, his mother 'S Mrs. N. S. B. James, Mrs. George le Young, President of the Women's by Association, Miss Mabel Borland, 0- Secretary, Mrs. L. C. Mason, Vice- st Pres., and Mrs. W. C. Clarke, âe Treas. So many ladies assisted in ýz serving and arranging the delie- Siou s lunch of sandwiches, tea, 'cakes, etc. that it would be im- Spossible to name them ail in the nspace available. Music was sup- plied by Mrs. Stuart R. James at a the piano. ýy re TORIES USING OLD ' POLICY 0F FEAR ,IN HOPE 0F VOTES - Mr. Michael Barkway, a reli- able reporter o! the Financial *e Post, bas iately 'been in Ottawa .s interviewing leaders o! the Con- ýp servative party. Since these gen- Lr tlemen were not to be quoted by -e name they have been exceedingly ýfrank to Mr. Barkway. ,e They tell him that the Conser- i- vative party's 'brightest" election strategy is "To play on dissatis- n faction among producers and ex- rporter's at the loss of the British * market." They will blame the * Government, o! course, for the -reduction in British purchasing -here. The fact that these reduct- e ions are quite beyond the control y o! any Canadian government, that othey are imposed by the British d Government soley because of its ndollar shortage, will be conven- tiently forgotten, we may be sure, y during the election campaign. 0 With refreshing frankness, Mr. eBarkway reports the Conservative LI election hune, in regard to the Bri- - tish market thus: e "The Conservative strategy, it rappears, will stop short o! pro- eposing solutions. As one P.C. said -Our job is ta play on the psycho- logy o! fear'. If the electors can -be persuaded that things are bad enough, it is thought they may be persuaded to vote for Geoc-ge Drew as the man who will put them right without being told just bow he will do it."1 No solutions, the psychology o! fear-that is the election recipe, carefully flavored, o! course, with the obvious lie that the Canadian Goverument reduced our British market. But is this recipe good enough, evcn for an election cam- paign? Have the Conservative strategists suspected the possibili- ty that the electors may resist the pychology o! fear and may ask Mr. Drew for solutions which he has neyer yet suggested? And may they not inconven- iently remember that the Cana- dian Government, powenless to prevent the sbrinkage o! the Bri- tish market bas more than com- pensated for this loss by securingi ent fr9m the socialism of Crippa.

MUETTES eting ld ningfiitu When Canada was growlng up, hewlng a living from tha virgin forest left uite time for holidaying. By the 1790's, visits to distant friends were populor. Sefflers would travel three hundred miles by sleigh in winter ta sea their friends. Picnles were popular by 1835. While the men flshed, the women picked bernies, and ail joined for lunch. ln Springtime, excursions to the woods for "maple.. sugar making" were greeted with delight. With the arrivai of the automobile about 1900, and improvement in the roads, people began te travel to "see the sights". Touring to Niagara Falls, Muskoka or the Laurentians, became a common holidlay pastime. Today, tourists are big business. Canada s a vast wonderland, with countless surprises for the sightseer-and each year millions of Canadians and visitors tour our land. The opportunities #hot exist in the tourist industry are many- for there's room ta grow in Canada Unlimited.
