which will draw widespread attention The most radical of these are limitation of expenses by par ties and candidates payment of basic expenses of candidates by the state and new balloting system perhaps using automatic voting machines The government of Premier Jean Lesage apparently has no intention of going halfway on the question of limiting ex penses As and election expert put it You cant limit the election cxv penses unless you limit what parties or candidates may do during an election campaign What the expert meant was that the law can limit can didate to spending fixed amount but it cannot do any thing to stop his friends or as sociates from spending money as freely as they wish IAY LIMIT BANNERS The way to overcome this dif ficulty is to limit the number of banners candidate may put up during campaign the volume of advertising that may be pur chased in his favor and so on Such measure would radicv ally change the election atmos phere in Quebec where almost anything goes It also would reduce the ef fectiveness of political party war chests If candidates are An Atlas missile carrying monkey in its nose cone veers off course after launching and showers burning wreckage bickon Cape Canaveral restricted as to the kind and volume of propaganda they can use the effect will be to even party has against the well heelcd political mac ine expenses will be nobody knows just now but indications are the government intends to make them as tight as possible State payment oi basic ex penses by candidates is another reform which is designed to shake parties loose from the grip of political machines Mr Lesage has described this measure as one that would the chances financially poor Just how tight se limits on make it theoretically possible for any qualified person to be come candidate in an elec tion Politics he said is not only for the rich but for every one This should not be interpreted to mean that any man or woman 21 or over may be candidate and expect to be paid for his trouble Presumably these expenses will be met by the government under certain specified condi tions and one of them is likely to be that candidate must get determined proportion of the popular vote DETROIT AP New clues to sort of uncommon coldone linked with wracking croup in children and runny noses in adultsmay load to protective vaccine scientist said Monday Three nowly discovered vi

Show YFRES Belgium Forty Ihree years ago Saturday at 11 am the cease fire was sound ed all along the battle line which traversed Belgium and France and brought to an end the first world war November it lets saw practically all of Belgium and large area of Northern France in ruins Cities and towns had been reduced to heaps of rubble Great forests had been levelled with only jagged tree stumps remnini The terrain was shambles of shell holes and mine craters with scarcely blade of grass showing All over the landscape were the remnants of pillsboxes great area of vicious barbed wire and row upon row of deep trenches in which the troops had lived and fought for the four years and four months of the war That was the scene of devas tation and desolation as it was known to the troops who on survived the scourge of battle and were able to raise their heads above the protective par apets and walk around freely on the areas which had been drenched by shellfire mortars and grenades It was grim sight then Those who saw it could scarcely believe that those shelltorn cities could ever be restored and those waterlogged craters and shellholes with all the shattered impodlmentat of war scattered over them could ever again become fertile fields GREATTRANSFORMATION Looking back to France and Belgium as we knew it in those days of war it is al most unbelievable that this was the same terrain which cov ered week or two ago in company with party of vet erans of that first world war Thetransformation has been amazing it was hard to be lieve that this lovely country side was the same area as that in which we lived in trcrh ches craters and shellholes ex isted in kneedeep mud and be came something less than hu man beings as the tide of war moved over us and back again Going back to the old battle areas now 43 years after the armistice can be strange ex perieace One does not find it easy to recognize the places known in the days of war For instance this ancient city of Yprss was in the struggles between 1814 to 1918 reduced to heap of rubble Not building was left standing its beautiful Cloth Hall had been completely demolished as ad its cathedral Around the square were heaps of broken brick work and masonry around which one dodged to take shelt er from enemy shells DIFFERENT TODAY How different is the Ypres of today it has been restored as fine modern city but its Stewart

all the buildings around the Grand Place replicas of those which were there before war tr In 1914 To anyone who has not seen Ypres since 1917 or 1918 the transformation seems like modern miracle Out in the trench areas from which Canadian troops hold guard over Yprcs there are no sign of the devastation we used to know at places like Pos schendacle Sanctuary Wood Maple Copse St Elol Vermoze ele

spring of 1916 were transformed into farm ponds with ducks and swans swimming on them The great Pine Crater blown at Messines in June 1917 was lake in the midst of flowering shrubbery Passchendaele th at hle of mud which the troop knew in 1517 shows no signs of the tortured earth of these days Prosperous farms now cover the area where the win ning of few yards of slimy muddy terrain was major
