"THE SECRET BALLOT

How many people ever stop to think why we have
the secret ballot? At one time there was no such thing.
tf anyone wanted to protest against a move on the
part of his leaders, he had to do so in the open. Gov-
ernment leaders are supposedly unkind to critics, so
the man who spoke up wos a marked target for punish-
ment. If the leaders didn’t punish him, the majority
who thought otherwise would. They might not do so
openly; but theyl could shum him and malign his
name just the same. .

That is why thousands of people could not speak
up against the unjust conditions’ that surrounded them,
They were terrorized into submission. Freedom could
not exist, because the voice of the people was ‘stilled
by fear. Today, the same condition existis in a few
of our trade. unions. . Members are forced to vote in
the open. If they oppose the policies of the mojority,
they are sometimes branded ‘‘scabs”, and their social
‘Status is endangered.

But every person has a right to his opinion, and
the secret ballot gives it to him. THe voter who is
nameless does not have to fear retribution, He Knows
that it is safe to say what he wants and what he does
not want, and: thot nobody can punish him for it.

The secret ballot is the cornerstone of democracy.
Without it our freedom would be endangered, Without
it you could be made to sumbit to opinions that you
did not share. The secret ballot is well worth preserv-
ing. Be sure to exercise it on June 10. ;

U. S. IMMIGRANTS WANTED

Over the past fifty years, Canada has fost a great
number of citizens to the United States. Now Canada
appears to be on the verge of trying to win back some
.of this lost ground.

At present the United States is still gaining far
more persons from Canada than we are getting back
from them. In the year ending last June, 10,483 visas
were issued at a single United States Consulate in a
large eastern Canadian city. Quite a number of these
were men or women who had come here from Europe
with the intention of making Canada merely a trans-
fer point while they waited to get into United States.

But now there seems to be a move afoot té try to
swing the ‘tide the other way. To Canada, immigrants
from the United States are particularly valuable, They
need little or no adjustment in language, currency,
the press, civil government, and even the sports to
which they are accustamed ore similar or identical with
those of our own. ‘

We can all help by boosting Canada when we
talk with our American friends, and by being os friend-
ly and courteous to them as we possibly can.

A mechanic was called in
to repair the mechanism of a
giant telescope. During the noon
hour the chief astronomer came
upon the man reading the bible.

“What good do you expect
from that” he asked, “the Bible
is out of date, why, you don't
even know who wrote it.”

The mechanic puzzled a
moment, then he locked up, ‘don’t
you make considerable use of
the multiplication table in your,
calculations?’ he asked. |

“Yes of _ course,” returned
the other,

“Do you know who wrote
ite”

“Why, no, I guess I don’t”

“Then,” said the mechanic,
“how can you trust the multipli-
cation table, when you don’t
even know who wrote it?”

“We trust it because .,. well,
because it works, the astronomer
finished testily.

“Well, I trust the Bible for
the same reason — it just works.”

The apostle Paul penned

of,

Christ, who is
yesterday, to-day, and forever.
What He has done for others, He
will do for you. ‘

these words in Romans 1:16 —
“For Iam not ashamed of the ~
gospel of Christ: for it is ‘the
power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Why don’t you trust the

Bible and you too will find that
it will work for you. It speaks

Retirement Savings Plans Eligible for

1957 and later years.

The savings portion of either a new or an

We live today in a world of explosive contradic-
‘+ tions. While Canadians enjoy soaring prosperity.
millions elsewhere are hungry. While we strive for
peace, the threat of war is ever present. The age of
_ abundance for'all- mankind now is possible; so is
world-wide atomic destruction. ,

These are the big issues. Today, as never before,
Canada’s freedom and prosperity and the future of
our children—all the things we love and want most
.—depend on events in the world around us.

. It’s essential to elect a government which promotes
prosperity at home and peace abroad. History
‘shows we can’t have one without the other.

Only the Liberal Party can do this. It’s the only .
