For many years it has been my
pleasure to be involved in. elec-
tions, both in-Britain and Canada,
but always: in very. minor
capacities. As ‘long ago as the
‘year 1911 I was given charge of.
two symbolic ladders on a wall at
party headquarters, on which the
figures of Herbert Asquith and
Arthur Balfour were set to climb
as the results came through from
the constituencies.
- Red and blue were the party
colours in that sanguary contest
between: Liberals: and Con-
servatives, with tariff reform and
free trade the main issue
dividing the parties: Lloyd
George was laying the foun-
dations of the welfare «state,
Churchill was a militant radical,
and the Labour - party. was
emerging as a force to be
recokoned with in the future.
Fighting a war of attrition on the
side. lines’ were. the Irish
nationalists led by John Red-
mond and. the Ulster Unionists
headed by Lord Carson and PF. E.

Fifteen years ago when in
England I. volunteered . as

one area not yet covered, and it

gift. taxes be removed from all
family farms in the Province of

carries on the farm operation for
a period of not less than ten
years.

Inputs for the production of
crops, especially fertilizer, is of
utmost importance and the fear
‘of shortages is of great concern to
farmers ‘and will. come under
considerable discussion.

‘.“He’s going the wrong way. for:

voice.

“Shush! Be quiet, he Knows
what he is doing,”’ said her neigh-
bour in reproof.

“I very much doubt it,”
asserted the complaining voice,
“I always vote at the Senior

I held grimly on course for the
Fairfield station, not willing to
encounter the traffic and parking
problems at the city centre. I had
already smashed a_ reversing
light lense and bulb in a gentle
collision with ‘a parking meter
when two large cars left me in-
sufficient’ room to drive: -out
freely. ~

“y wonder if you would make a
little detour so that I can pick up
some dry  cleaning,”’ said
another passenger sweetly. And
another, ‘“‘please set me down
where I can get a bus for
Shelbourne and Mackenzie.”
Quite frequently passengers ask
to be taken to town after voting.
