TWICE in my lifetime I have seen new parties throw out old professionals and on both those occasions the new parties had no leader, no program, a very bad slate of candidates, and virtually no money. Yet on both those occasions (Ontario in 1920 and B.C. in 1952) the new parties won.. PROFESSIONALS tell you sadly "elections are not won by prayers" as a French-Canadian, Isreel Tarte, put it.

K. : A Wise Choice A FAIR and honest expression of opinion the BY people of the Prince Rupert riding have selected the candidate of their choice Bruce Brown, Liberal "'to vepresent them in the B.C. Legislature. It was no overwhelming majority that took Mr. , Brown to head the polls on the second count; in fact, ? it was so close a race that it was undecided until the " last handful of ballots was counted. George Hills, CCF candidate and last year's MLA for this riding, however, is a game loser. He ; admits cheerfully that he ' was beaten fair and -'square, even if only by 33 votes. - That is the way democracy works. The candidate's lot is up to the people. They have decided who ' f hall represent them. It was a good, stiff, clean campaign in the Prince Rupert riding. This itself speaks for the calibre of all three candidates. William Murray, I Social Credit, won a lot of support. But it is evident that the people of this northwest frontier believe Mr. Brown can most benefit their part of the province. We believe the voters made a wise choice and ' that their trust in Mr. Brown will not disappoint them. A community worker well known for his deter-; niination and integrity, the 43-year-old lawyer has . an unquestionable background. Although he has no experience in politics, he is considered a sound businessman of high principles. To back up the trust placed in him. by Prince Rupert electors, Mr. ' Brown will see to it that the developing northwest area of our province must not take a back seat in J the .B.C. Legislature. .

The storm that blew -up in the Social Credit camp about suspension of two civil servants for vhat the government thought was wrongdoing is dying down. Premier Bennett has so far won that one. A Social Credit group In Oak Bay attenpted to censure the government for the suspensions. The government would not be censured. Premier Bennett flew into one of his inary test runs. In full operation, the trains will be able to carry 40,000 persons an hour from downtown Union station 42 miles north to Eglington avenue. Trolley buses then will carry "northerners" about two miles farther to the city limits. The whole subway trip is expected in take less than 20 minutes in rush hour.

THERE are newspapermen still alive who remember another HEALTH DEPARTMENT LISTS RULES TO WARD OFF POLIO A set of rules to help ward off polio has been issued by Di. A. f . W.

Because its construction is somewhat less complicated, the U.S.A. Some of the hard-boiled Tories went down to Washington and paid back-bench Congressmen one hundred dollars per speech to advocate "the annexation of Canada." That was Just duck-soup for those Congressmen who would have been glad to make the speeches for free. Anyway, the trick worked. Nobody down in the States was paying the slightest attention to those fool speeches in fact, hardly a newspaper bothered to report them. But up here in Canada they were spread over the front pages. And how! Bnt I hasten to odd that in my opinion the Tories would have won both in 1911 and 1930, stunts or no stunts. For the real thought was "it's time for a change." power steering seems much closer to that goal than automatic transmission.
