- Whether we find the knowledge
particularly appetizing or not,
this is the “Age of the Atom”
and we may as well face it.
Therefore we introduce a second
book on the atom’ bomb. It is
called ‘“* Dawn Over Zero” by
W. L: Laurence. It tells of the
development, preparation and
final use of the atom bomb. An
easily read, factual, and biogra-
phical account of the inevitable.
An adult book. .

AS an antidote, we suggest an-
other true story — but in a dif-
ferent day “Stand and De-
liver’ by Patrick Pringle.- This
is a story of the Highwaymen
of the 17th and 18th centuries.
It is a new book, just off the
press, which tells the story oft
in their own words, of such fam-
ous or infamous “Knights of. the
Road” as- John Shepherd, the
ereatest prison breaker; Dick

Turpin, hero of many a romance -

and adventure, and of the equal-
ly famous Bow Street Runners,
who captured them. |,
“Smoky” by Will James, is the
story of a Cow-horse and is an-
other in the series by this

or large Fridge.

Alternative Voting

Alternative Voting will be used in the coming Provincial Election.

Explaining Alternative Voting briefly,

it may be said that the voter has no longer to

content Himself with marking an X for just one candidate. He marks a first choice

for his candidate, and then proceeds to make a second,

choices for as many candidates as have been nominated.

On counting the ballots, if the highest candidate has an

third and possibly further

absolute majority over and

above the total votes cast for all the other candidates, he is declared elected. If,
however, no candidate obtains an absolute majority on the first count, a second

count is required.

Before doing this, the lowest candidate is excluded and the

second choices on that candidate’s ballot are transferred to the other candidates as
indicated on his ballot. If the second count elects no one on an absolute majority,
the next lowest candidate is eliminated making a third’ count necessary. This is
continued ‘until some candidate obtains an absolute majority.
