To begin with, you must realize that, while an atom bomb holds more death and destruction than man has ever before wrapped in a single package, its total power is definitely limited. Not even hyâ€" drogen bombs could blow the earth apart or kill us all by mysterious radiation. Power Is Limited Because the power of all bombs is limited, your chances of living through an atomic attack are much better than you may have thought.

"Prosperity in Ontario depends a good deal on our industrial health," said Elmer Brandon beâ€" fore an enthusiastic West York Progressive Conservative meeting in Weston this week. "Today," continued Mr. Brandon, who is the Frost candidate in the Nov. 22 election, "66% of all the men and women in Ontario who depend on wages and salaries for income are now supported by our manufacturing industry. Most of our West York people are in this category.

Employâ€" ment is up 8.4% over last year. In July our industrial construction is almost eight times the same month in 1950. Electric energy consumption is up 15% and retail trade, despite restrictions, is 10% ahead of last year," he explained. "With niore than two of us enjoying better time: ever before, 1 am sure that York will go overboard f« Frostâ€"Brandon team," Elmer don concluded.

"The Liberal party has always placed the emphasis on the Dignity of the Individual," Mr. Allan conâ€" tinued, "thereby rejecting Socialâ€" ism. We in the Liberal ranks Mo not recognize State Control as a panacea for all our ills. Neither do we accept the attitude of the Conâ€" servative party that it can‘t be done. Conservatives . regard anyâ€" thing that tends to assist the people as a false creed and call it charity, not the right of citizenâ€" ship." Mr. Allen said he Liberals had persistently advocated equal pay for women for equal work. Tories, at long last, have accepted this view. "We nupfi:md the right of woâ€" men to serte on juries and this, attitude, too, has finally been acâ€" cepted by the Tories. We suggestâ€" ed that waiting time for the Workâ€" men‘s Compensation be reduced to seven days, ‘but now the Tories have suggested five days."
