that the progressiveconservatives will be returned with e somewhat reduced majority pos sibly the real interest in the election is whether the lib- rals or the ccf will be the official opposition both parties hold very small number of seats in the rather topheavy conservative bouse and both are fighting hard for a louder voice in the provinces affairs as editor we would not presume to tell readers whlchy wey to vote three halton candidates have been stating iheir views at meetings and in the press end we have reported these wherever possible in past weeks papers but we do feel it a duty to again remind every clllien that it is not only a right but a duty to cast a dont do it when th fire urm rang friday night w jum ped in the car to take the uiual circle ud to main st gueu every merchant it telfiih and thinks of his pla- of business first then heaves e righ of retier hen he finds cveryirmg peaceful on the bvne front returning toward home there was such a trail of can following the fire engine up the highway that we couldnt resist joining in one mv3 admit that there it an excitement which gets into people when the siren rings and were just as prone to follow as the next man but we have learned from frequent conversations with firemen about the foolishness of following right to the scene of the blaze so when we saw the trouble was on normandy blvd we pulled into the parking area in front of harrisons garage se did ene otttor car pot pourri last week mrs neilon stark wondered if she was the first person to pick a ripe strawberry from her garden she wasnt mrs carman stoddart was quick to report that she had picked some the pre vious week and mrs bill chaplin says she had a whole dishful a week before from her patch the red face department last week we editorialized about tomorrows election telling the names of candidates and their political parties and almost inferring that people shouldnt have to be told such things if they were really interested it was only when art benton phoned us a few hours after the paper was off the press that we learned we had called the liberal can didate bill anderson bill robertson believe us wa knew better saturday morning there was confus ion at the herald office when you lifted the tele phone you could hear noise of children playing in the background and it was obvious that someone making an incoiping call had left their receiver off the hook we phoned repair service from noighbour cec mcnam- aras phone and the man told us how difficult this is to check we came back to the office and started think ingalsout the last call friday it began to dawn hadnx mrs b phoned just about 6 pm back we went to cecs phone and dialed our house sure enough busy signal who phoned a neighbour and asked them to check that was it the office and house had been connected by phone all night the community was sadly touched by the tragic accident ballot thursday ontarios government should be a true reflection of the majority decision of the people if le than 50 per cent of voters go to the polls then we do not have this majority rule of which democracies are so proud to boast individually you might not think your one little ballot is important but it is for the collective result is the same at your dime which helped raise money for the boys band saturday your attendance at a la crosse or baseball game all of them contribute to a way of life we know and love without your mite we wouldnt have churches and boys bands swimming pools and games or governments which reflect the will of the j-eo- pie the rest hundreds of them swung up the boulevard and when that became packed newcomers took the new tyers ave and continued to converge on the scene we know that no one would wilfully hamper firemen in their work in fridays fire the presence of all these cars had no ill effect but there is always that one time when serious loss could be caused if a traffic tieup kept the fire engine back for even a few minutes in future we suggest that when you follow the fire truck park up a side street or stop a good block or two away and cover the rest of the distance on foot a few minutes thought could save thousands of dollars in property on ihe highway which left a husband bereaved and a young family motherless death always leaves its sorrow but is particularly harsh when children arc deprived of the lovo of a
