A Satisfying Discovery
Purse Lost Last Year
Last year a farmer of Hay
Township, not far from Hensall,
Harold Campbell, lost his wal-
let containing more than $200.
While he was harvesting his hay
crop this year CampbeII found the
wallet, much to his great liking.
In the meantime he had sought
for it and found it still wanting. He
had advertized its loss but gained
no clue to its whereabouts. He
had told his friends about losing
it, but they were helpless. He in-
quired all over, and from no seer -
nee did he find a solution.
Finally he tried to forget it all
But to his astonishniait it would
not be downed:
The wallet when found, was a
sad looking and faded one, but'the
bills it contained though pale and
wan were of the same value as
before, and were acceptable at the
local branch of the bank, with
which he deals.

Huron -Perth Liberals
Hear of Riding Change
Members oa. the executive of the
Huron -Perth Liberal Association
were guests of Ivan Kalbfleiseh,
President of the Association, at a
picnic supper at his park ,pear
Zurich, Thursday evening. About
sixty members were present.
The meeting discussed the sit-
uation that arose as a result of
redistribution, and heard Andrew
'Y. McLean, M.P,, for Huron -Perth,
explain the reasons for the change
in riding boundaries.
Redistribution Reasons
Mr. McLean told the meeting
that in the preliminary discussions
of redistribution it had been
thought possible that changesin
the ridings in this district could
be avoided. However, when pop-
ulation figures were analyzed it
was found that if the principle of
of representation by population
were to be maintained, this part of
Western. Ontario would be requires,
ed to lose one riding. It was not
because rural population was les-
sening, but rather that urban
population in the metropolitan
areas was increasing at .a much
greater rate. Mr. McLean poin-
ted out that certain ridings in
York County contained populat-
ions in excess of 150,000, while
Huron North had a population of
26,230—the fourth smallest riding
in Ontario.
When this situation was reveal-
ed the problem that had to be fac-
ed was the retentionof proper re-
pesentation of rural areas, and at
the same time avoid as much as
possible the disruption of existing
arrangements. It was with these
thoughts in mind that the com-
mittee proposed the amalgama-
tion of the two existing ridings
of Huron North and Huron -Perth
to form a new riding of Huron,
To keep the population in line with,
other rural ridings, three munici-
palities in each of the existing
ridings were removed, the three
from. Huron -Perth going to Perth,
and the three from Huron North
going to Wellington -Huron.
Speaking of the political aspects
of the formation of the new Huron
riding, Mr. McLean pointed out
that the action which had been
taken resulted in an, advantage to
the Progressive Conservative par-
ty. If the results of the 1945 and
1949 elections were applied to the
new riding of Huron, there would
be conservative majorities in each
election. This indicated the nec-
essity of there being an intensified
Liberal organization in the new
riding, which will include Hibbert
Township and all of Huron
County, except Howick, Turn-
berry and Wingham.
R. S. Hetherington, Q.C., Wings
ham, Liberal candidate in Huron
North at the 1949 election, was a
guest at the meeting and spoke
briefly.
Regret was expressed by Mr.
McLean and other speakers that
the change in boundaries would
result in losing the valued assoc-
iation of those members of the -
executive and other workers from
Mitchell, Logan and Fullerton.
The meeting paid tribute to Dr.
J. W, Shaw, Clinton, and Charles
Fritz, Zurich, two senior Liberals,
who were present, and who for
many years had been active in
the work of the association.

artificial ice plant in Clinton
Lions ,Arena is steadily creeping
towards its goal. With an in.
crease during the past week of
shed ,$ the
h earnpaign now has
re989.
The canvas of the town is still
under way and - although the
members of the Lions Club are
desperately trying to contact each
and . every Citizen, they realize
that someone may be, missed. If
you don't happen to be contact-
ed and you would like to donate
to this worthy community pro-
ject, just contact F. B. Penne-
baker or any member of the
Clinton 'Lions Club; they will be
only too willing to see that any
donation reaches the proper au-
thorities.
The Lions Club hopes to hold
the official opening of the artifi'
ciat lee arena on November 28.
On that night there will be a
monster draw.' Eight wonderful
prizes will be given away. Tie-
kets are on sale at every store
itt town, so don't forget, buy as
many as you can; each quarter
helps and the proceeds are all
itt old of the project. ..
