Every Vote tlounts Candidates are now emphasizing upon the electors their prime duty an Dec. ll of getting out and voting. This privilege carries with it a grave responsibilty, for it is only by the free and independent expression of public opinion at the polls that democratic government can be maintained. The last provincial election in i943 showed a drop of nearly 7,000 votes from the i939 total of 73,604, but this is attributable in large part to the fact that our service men over- seas were deprived of their opportunity of vot- ing by the Jones Government. This election should sea the largest vote on record. Many are predicting that the result will either be very close, or else a clean sweep for the Conservatives. In any case it is worth noting that in the last’ provincial contest the Liberals, though winning two-thirds of the seats, polled only 5i l-2 per cent of the total ballots. Vot- ing in most af the electoral divisions was so close that a change of 100 votes would have placed the Conservative candidates on top. There is a lesson here for workers of all parties, —namely, that every vote counts, and that a break-down in organization at the last minute may prove serious or even disastrous to the party interests. A Lucrative Business The Christmas tree-that glittering symbol which gladdens the hearts of young and old dur- ing the Yuletide season—has developed into a lucrative business for the Maritime Provinces. A great many farmers have found the Christmas tree trade ta be a valuable source of revenue. Some indication af the scope of this trade in trees was revealed in o news story the other day which stated that this year Canada's three east- ern provinces will ship more than seven million fir and cedar trees to the United States market. This will mean that owners of woodlots and forest lands in the Maritimes will realize this year al- most a million and a half dollars from this source alone. There is another angle to the Christmas tree business this year that makes it an extremely valuable Canadian enterprise. The trade should be an important factor in increasing Canada's dwindling supply of United States dollars. And the "grown in Canada" label attached to each tree should do something to further promote. goodwill at a season of the year when the spiri‘ of fellowship is supposed to dominate the thoughts of men. However, the Maritime Provinces are fortun- ate in that nature has endowed them so richly with this universally-recognized symbol of Christmas. It has become big business but there is something about it that is also pleasant. lt gives the people of these provinces an oppor- tunity to share the spirit of joy and festivity wltir their neighbors to the south. Christmas Seals One of the chderful harbingers of the sea- son is the appearance of the Christmas seal, the i947 version of which depicts a Woodsman driv- ing an ox-cart load of Christmas trees across the snow out of the Far North. Each year more (Incl more of these attractive stickers are sold and each year they are used to adorn ‘bver-in- creasing numbers of greeting card envelopes and gifts The caus_e supported by the°seals is a most worthy one--the continuing fight against tuber- culosis botli through health education and the care of tuberculosis sufferers. lt deserves every dollar the public can contribute toward it. Th: work supported by the sale of seals is carried on throughout Canada at this time of year and is generally accorded. fine support. The seals are now in the hands of most resi- dents, and the amount of the contribution de- pends upon thc generosity of the donor. But every contribution, large or small, is ‘welcome, and will play its part in the war against tuber- culosis. his war is and slrpuld be unceasing; I race-era seal sale will rnaka certain that this fins work ill not falter. ' Bailey Bridges Unlike most wartime inventions, the Bailey bridge is reportedly being put to general use in maiiy parts of the world, including the United States and Canada. Recently a party of I2 of- ficers and 40 men erected a Bailey bridge over the Mattowin River, 30 miles east of Montreal. The total length of the sections was 340 ‘feet, and the iob was done in a day and a half. If an ordinary bridgb had been constructed it would have taken at least two months. The result of this iob was to shorten o forest iourney by 160 miles. The Bailey bridgo—like "Mulberry" harbors, amphibious tanks, and the oil-pipeline across the English Channel-is an English invention. It played a tremendously effective part in the war, in enabling troops to cross rivers and ravines troyed. The bridges are put together in the nzannsr of a Meccono toy sat, yet they are re- ltJll remarkable that up to the present, - EDITORIAL NOTES _. Tomorrow election day.

The best political meeting of the campaign was undoubtedly that at Souris when the hall was crowded and the discussion between poli- tivans keenly followed. In the course of his speech Dr. MacMillan, discussing an alleged dis- crepancy in finances, asked, "Where did that quarter of a million go?" An elector in the front row replied-—"Don't look cit me, I haven't got it!" a n n a The suggestions of Speaker Gaspard Fau- teux for increasing the efficiency of the House o: Commons in the dispatch of business are, as would be expected, well thought out and im- pair surprisingly little the privileges of private members.

This shows marked improvement on the volume of exports in the third quarter which, though affected by the holidays, was the best quarter in Britain's export trade since the war ended, with a value l4% greater than in I938, wane A new hetory in Lanorkshire, Scotland, will tum out multi-coloured aluminum on a large- scale basis.

The value of shipping SDAU abroad by Prince Edward Island ln 1879 was $175,200, a sum which forms lees than l0 percent of the total exports and which we he lleve has been frequently exceed- ed tn other years. In other dlrer- tions. however the official figures show well for't.he Island. Her to- tal ercporta last year were of the value of $1,881,389. Of these the fisheries furnished $219,431; sni- mals and their products $75546: manufactures $256,592; product-s of the forest $40,258: and agricul- tural produeis, over a million and a quarter dollars. The exports of oats the principal crop, were l- I bout. one-lourth greater than the previous year, larger indeed tho-l any year. reaching 1.414.900 hush- els. The potatoes exported resch- ed 463.810 budiela, and 446,09’! doz- ~ ena of eggs are included in the re- turns.
