We urge all who are qualified to vote to first of all make sure their name is on the Voters‘ List. Then make sure that you get to the polls, and exercise your franchise. Revision of the Voters‘ List will close this month. If you are not already on the list, act at once to have it placed there. In a few days it will be too late. It is the duty of all to vote. There are certain individuals among the electorate who are indifferent as to whether they go to the polls on election day. Many people who are quick to criticize the governmellt are oftentimes those who fail to go to the trouble of voting, contenting themselves with the thought that politics is rotten anyway, and that there is no differénce between the parties. . The men the voters send to parliament are the men upon whom the future of Canada deâ€" pends. Particularly at this time when the country is happily returning to more normal times do we need the best men available to sit in the House of Commons. Every patriotic voter should study the record of the governâ€" ment. Examine the platform and the proposals of the party in opposition. Then vote as your judgment directs you. David S. Charlton, who received the unaniâ€" mous nomination as Liberal candidate for South Waterloo at one of the biggest convenâ€" tions in over thirty years, is a young lawyer of Galt. He is a man of fine parts who will give a good account of himself at the forthcoming Federal election. Among his opponents for the nomination were two widely known and prominâ€" ent county men in Warden Archie Ferguson and exâ€"Warden E. B. Hallman. ‘ _ The Liberal candidate is a son of Dr. S. E. Charlton, defeated in the Ontario Election in 1929, by Karl Homuth. His opponent will likely be Alex. M. Edwards, M.P., of Galt. Whether the C.C.F. party will place a candidate in the field is not known. It is gratifying to the people of Ontario that the Ontario Goverrnment‘s $20,000,000 bond issue was oversubscribed last week. It was unfortunate, â€" however, that the Hepburn Government encountered the hostility of the financial houses through which these bonds are generally marketed. Premier Hepburn‘s deterâ€" mination to bring about a revision of the Hydro contracts with Quebec companies is believed by some Liberals to have influenced the bond dealers to embarrass the government. After all, the Hepburn government memâ€" bers are representatives of the people of Ontario and any action to make it difficult to market bonds tends to injure the credit of the province. Premier Hepburn, however, moved quickly to meet the situation by extending the provincial savings bank system and seeking to market the bond issue in this way. Bond houses declined to bid on the securities, stating that the interest yield was not attractive to their clients, while the banking houses announced they had not tried to embarrass the government. After the government treasury department made the bond issue more attractive, Hon. Mr. White, former federal finance minister and viceâ€"presiâ€" dent of one of the largest banks, made personal application for a block of the stock. This week, June 24â€"29, the Province is observing "Ontario.Salad Week". The purpose is to market surplus garden crops. The moveâ€" ment has the solid support of the Ontario Growers‘ Markets Council. The chairman, M. M. Robinson, points out that each year early summer weather, accompanied by favorable rains, brings a surplus of early vegetables. These crops are of the best quality and the busy housewife is urged to buy in abundance and thus prevent much of this valuable produce going to waste. "Ontario Salad Week" is designed to conâ€" tribute to public education along modern health lines. Medical, dental and nutritional authoriâ€" ties are unanimous on the importance of inâ€" creasing the proportion of raw and vitaminâ€" containing foods in the nation‘s diet. | DOMINION ELECTION APPROACHING | | OVERSUBSCRIBE PROVINCIAL BOND | ISSUE SURPLUS OF GARDEN CROPS LIBERAL CANDIDATE IN SOUTH WATERLOO New Brunswick is in the midst of an eleeâ€" tion campaign toâ€"day. Whether the Liberals under A. A. Dysert can overthrow Hon. L P. Tilley and his Conservative government will be known after the ballots are counted at the close of the polls toâ€"night. Up to 1908 Liberals were in power for 25 years. Conservatives then held office for a period from 1908 to 1917, followed by Liberals from 1917 to 192856. The present government regime began in 1925. Before disâ€" solution last month, Premier Tilley had 26 supâ€" ‘porters, excluding the Speaker, and the Liberals numbered 14. Five Conservative and two In view of the unrest in many countries during recent yers, it is interesting to note that Sweden this year is celebrating the five hunâ€" dredth aniversary of the establishment of parâ€" ligmentary government in that country. Sweden retains the form of democratic government while several of the world‘s leading powers are under the control of dictatorships. Liberal seats were vacant. During the past few centuries, Sweden, like England, has had several short and stormy lapses into autocratic rule, but democracy has always reâ€"asserted itself. This indicates that the people had not been content for long to have the direétion of their affairs placed in control of the iron rule of any dictator. Dictatorships such as we have in Germany, Russia and Italy today do not last for long and are not likely to survive after the deaths of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. In Great Britain, France, United States and other countries, a democratic parliament may have its defects but the democratic system, judged by the test of time, comes closest to the ideal. Freedom of thought and discussion and determination of issue by majority vote conâ€" stitute its strength. It is the only method by which there can be government of the people by the people. . Putting a British duke in jail is appropriate in a Jubilee Week which has repeatedly sounded the note of the supremacy of the law to crown and caste. Burke said of the meanest English hovel that the winds may enter it and the rain may enter, but the King of England cannot enter without the owner‘s permission. On the other hand a court of law is something which every Englishman must enter, even the King. It will be recalled that some time ago George V. was plaintiff in one of the London courts against a middleâ€"aged man who suffers from the delusion that he is the King‘s eldest son by an early marriage. Today marks the hanging of the Macâ€" Temples at St. Thomas. The Attorneyâ€"General is opposed to any unnecessary publicity being given hangings and only officials necessary to carry out the execution will be allowed in the jail yard. To spare the officials from witnessing the actual death drop; the Department has orâ€" dered a pit dug into which the doomed men will drop out of sight from the ground level. At Reinsdorf, Germany, the other day, there was a terrific explosion in a plant where explosives were manufactured, and the dead were reported anywhere from 75 to 1,000. The German secret police would not permit newsâ€" papers or people in the vicinity who knew the facts to make them known. In Canada news is not suppressed in this manner. If the church of Canada should be threatâ€" ened, as in Germany, thousands of people would rush to its defense in perfect unity, in the opinion of Archdeacon A. L. G. Clarke of Brantâ€" ford. There is no question but that the vast majority of people in Canada recognize the good the church is doing and would not tolerate interâ€" ference on the part of the state. We are pleased to join with other contemâ€" poraries in warmest congratulations to Mr. J. Alex McLaren, who this month completed forty years as editor of the Barrie Examiner. This newspaper is one of the best edited and largest weekly newspapers to be found anyâ€" where on the American continent. In the retirement of Hon. Edgar Rhodes, the Bennett Government loses one of its ablest and most highly regarded members. Members of parliament and friends trust that a rest from the cares of office will completely restore him to normal health. The Chronicle is in receipt of a most creditâ€" ble special edition of the Sydney (C.B.) Post Record, giving prominence to the 150th anniâ€" versary of the city‘s founding. It is handsomely ilustrated and contains â€"many interesting articles. Table Rock, a 30â€"foot expanse of rock weighing 5,500 tons overhanging the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, is to disappear. The erosion of two to four feet a year by Niagara‘s rushing waters has made Table Rock dangerous to tourists and it will be removed. . PAY EXTREME PENALTY TODAY ELECTION IN NEW BRUNSWICX |||, Lettegs to the DICTATORSHIPS DON‘T LAST | EDITORIAL NOTES NO FAVORITISM "MIND INFLATION® > To the Editor of The Chronicle: 6 appears to a good many people that mhmun:mfl-‘ ception of how to end depression. We all remember that a fow years ago everyone‘s ideas or ideals were inflated just as much as the value of money or possessions at the time, and the trick is how are we going to boil down this eurplus mind inflation to suit present conditions and to where our politicians in their wanton extravegance have brought . our It was Canada‘s good credit abroad that paved the way to the reckless and careless pace set by those who handled our country‘s finances. ‘The Almighty in His wisdom at Creation divinely appointed ome day out of every seven and created it the Sabâ€" bath day for rest and to serve Him Now why cannot mortal man set aside one day out of seven as a Baâ€" tional day for enjoyment, sports and recreationâ€"for in these days of high pressure business, and with maâ€" chinery next to human, more can be produced in the five days than a genâ€" eration ago in sixâ€"and throw open our parks, our golf courses, cut railâ€" way fares so that our people can traâ€" vel and meet one another and take a real enjoyment out of life for at least one day out of the seven. Observe the Sabbath Then see that our Sabbath is kept in reverence and in accordance with the will of our iCreator and not, as we are pained at times to find it, so desecrated as at present. Then with a legal national one day a week for rest .recreation, or eport, humanity would soon forget its troubles and work would again be a pleasure, and Redism, socialiem, communism, and all other "isms", would fade away and ‘we would be a happy people again. ‘This without a doubt would give unemployment a great setback, for the depression in itself has left its effect more on man‘s will power than on his muscle power. The millionaire is held under seâ€" vere censure, and perhaps rightly so, but we are all playing at the came game one way or another, and some win and some lose. The most of us are still gambling on our first milâ€" lion, and will be until the call comes to punch the clock of time. But what of that, as it was not our fault that one received one talent and another ten, but it was for us all that we put to use this credit given us. To be fair to humanity there should be large enough teeth in the "Estates Act" to lop off all unnecessary carrty over, so that their heire, if there are any, can enjoy the same thrill, and also place them on the same equality as others, as all mey are supposed to be born equal. Kitchener.â€"Provided that plans for the new addition to the city‘s Mausoleum in Woodland cemetery can be modified so that there is sufâ€" ficient clearance for the roadway near it. About $7,000 worth of labor will be afforded to the city‘s workâ€" men, Ald. Mullins, chairman of the cemetery committee said on Friday. Two years ago the cemetery comâ€" mittee improved the rear roadway by a permanent crushed stone base, and it is therefore Inadvisable to change the course of the roadway, he said. I am a retired farmer past the alâ€" lotted span of life, but I fully believe that Canada and ‘:e Canadian people have their best years yet to come, if only. our leaders would come down to "terra firma" in mind, as well as in finance, and do a little more sane, gound, oldâ€"fashiqned reasoning. Waterloo. Underdog. ‘Kitchener.â€"The Public Utilities Commission are becoming rather worried over the continued deficit of the Bridgeport street railway. The loss to date this year has now run into three figures, with the traffic falling steadily. Manager Mcintyre stated that the operating costs on the Bridgeport line had been reduced to a minimum. Only two men were used to operate it, he eaid. The K.â€"W. line shows only a emall deficit. «s ENTRANCE PUPILS DOUBLE ‘Kitchener.â€"Statistics reveal the fact that during the past five years the number of pupils trying their enâ€" trance examinations for the Kitchâ€" enerâ€"Waterloo Collegiate has douâ€" bled. ‘The Entrance Board which met on Friday to review the recomâ€" mendations of the teachers anâ€" nounced their decisions on Monday.
