Rev. Howitt was in London last
week attending the meeting of
the General Synod of the Angli-

Basing his remarks on Ephes-
ians, chapter 2, verse 19: "Now
therefore ye are no more strang-
ers and foreigners, but fellow-
citizens with the saints and of
the household of God," with par-
ticular emphasis on "Fellow-
citizens with the saints," Canon
Howitt gave a very in, piring
description of the General Synod
of the Church of England in
Canada, now meeting in London.
And then he went on to tell of
his own Diocese Of Newfound-

The Kinsmen Club of Clinton,
a community srevice organization
which was foxylect in the spring of
this year, has embarked on'
campaign to raise fends with
which it will install much need-
ed "Fracture Frame" in the Clin-
ton Public Hospital. The Club is
sponsoring a carnival, which will
be held on the main street be-
tween Huron Street and Ratten-
bury, on Wednesday, September
17, and if the weather is favour-
able there will be fun for young
and old.
The, entertainment will get un-
der way on ler about 6:30 p.m. with
a pet parade that will be formed
up in the Clinton Public School
grounds, All the children are re-
quested to enter the parade. Im-
mediately following the parade
Dr. Ballard will stage his famous
"Mutt Show." Dr. Ballard, the
manufacturer of the dog food that
bears his name, will be on hand
to judge the dogs which will be
divided into seven classes: 1. Lars
gest Dog; 2. Smallest Dog; 3. Best
Dressed Dog; 4. Dog with the
longest tail; 5. Dog with the short-
est tail; 6. Dog doing the best
trick; 7. dog eating dish of Dr.
Ballard's "health food" in the fast-
est time. Prizes will be given in
each of the classes.
Another highlight of the pro-
gram will be the "tug of War" be-
tween the Kinsmen and the Lions.
There will be games of skill for
young and old. Bingo will be con-
ducted for all enthusiasts of that
popular game.
During the evening the winning
tickets' will be drawn for a ward-
robe of ladies' or men's clothing.
To top the entire evening a
grand street dance will be staged
with Earl Heywood and the CKNX
Barn Dance Gang providing the
music.
We hope that our readers will
help this young club in its first
project by their presence at the
carnival. Who knows who will be
the first to benefit from the new
"fracture frame" once it has been
installed!

Huron, was chosen as candidate
of the Progressive Conservative
party in the next Federal elec-
tion, at the Progressive Conser-
vative convention of the new
Huron Riding held in. the Town
Hall, Clinton, on Monday even-
ing., September 8.
An. almost capacity house, rep-
resenting every section of the
riding, greeted Elmer Bell, Q.C.,
Exeter, as he rose" to call the
meeting to order. Jack Thyne,
violinist and reciter, had put the
waiting audience -into a good
mood, by his versatile entertain-
ment.
The meeting was opened by
singing "0 Canada", after which
the chairenan called some of the
leading Conservatives of the rid-
ing to accompany him on the
platform, together with Clarke
Fisher, secretary.
In his remarks as chairman,
Mr. Bell seriticized the Liberal
Government for carving t Ii e
former two-riding constituency
into ale, and stated that the pur-
pose of the meeting was to org-
anize the new riding and to
choose a candidate to represent
t h e Progressive Conservative
party in the forthcoming election.
He stated that the two former
executives in the county had met
some three weeks previous to this
meeting and had appointed a
committee to select a slate of of-
ficers from the whole new riding
which would when submitted to
the convention, subject to change,
according to the mind of those
present.
Mr. Bell called upon Frank
Donnelly, Q.C., Goderich, as con-
vener of the appointed commit-
tee, for his report.
Slate of Officers
Mr. Donnelly repeated the ex-
planation of the committee's ap-
pointment, and submitted the
following slate of officers:

Exeter; first vice-president, Mrs.
Alice Arbour, Goderich; second
vice-president, 4 Harry Sturdy,
Auburn; secretary, Joseph Mur-
phy, Clinton; treasurer, Earl
Mills, McKillop Township.
Mr. Donnelly also stated that
the committee had divided the
riding into districts and had chos-
en representatives from each
to work in association with the
chosen officers. The districts and
the chosen representatives were
the following:
Brussels district, Robert Bow-
man; Seaforth district, Joseph
Acheson, Dublin; Lucknow, Cecil
Johnston; Clinton, Elmer Webster,
Stanley Township; Exeter dist-
rict, Luther Penhale; Goderich
district, George Gina, Goderich
Township.
In. selecting 'this slate of of-
ficers, Mr. Donnelly paid tribute
to many of the members of the
two old executives, and pointed
out that the new slate necessarily
could not include all former
members of both old slates.
The chairman submitted the
names of the new officers select-
ed by the committee to the con-
vention, and all were duly elect-
ed to the various positions.
Photographs were taken of the
new executive, and of Elston
Cardiff, M.P., Brussels, and Elgin
McKinley, R.R. 1, Zurich.
The chairman intimated that it
would be necessary to choose a
Progressive Conservative candi-
date to contest the riding in the
next general election, and cal-
led for nominations,

candidate in the last Federal
election, declared that the elec-
tion at that time had been

Lion W. V. Roy, who this sum-
Mer took a trip to the Southern
United States and Mexico, and
also attended Lions International
Convention In Mexico City, gave
a good account of his trip, and
the Convention itself.
Mr. Roy termed the influx of
delegates to Mexico City as "the
greatest peacetime invasion that
city has ever known." They
came by plane, train and motor.
The State of Texas, he said, was
just es beautiful and "big" as
the natives of that state boast
it is. The- best reads he travel-
led on were found there,
The country of Mexico is a

ELSTON CARDIFF
' Brussels, who was unani-

Party in the new Huron rid-
ing, Mr. Cardiff is the pres-
ent member for the riding of
Huron. North.
period of electioneering time, and
even at that, with the help of
the people of the Huron-Perth
riding, he had been able to re-
duce his opponent's majority to
295, in, face of the Liberal sweep
in the Dominion.
Mr. McKinley placed in nom-
ination the name obi Elston Car-
diff, M.P. The nomination was
seconded by Russell Bolton, Dub-
lin, and unanimously carried.
He felt that Mr. Cardiff with
his years of experience in gov-
ernment affairs would prove the
better candidate, and that there
was a proper time to withdraw
and this was the time for him to
do so, when he had the respect
both of his own party and the
opposition.
No other names were forth-
coming, and the chairman declar-
ed Elston Cardiff,' the duly-ap-
pointed Progressive Conservative
candidate in the forthcoming
election, whenever it might come.
Mr. Cardiff Speaks
Mr. Cardiff graciously thanked
the mover and seconder of his
nomination and the convention
as a whole, for the honor bestow-
ed on him, and the confidence
expressed in him.
He spoke briefly of winning
the seat in the 1940 election and
in two succeeding general elec-
tions. He spoke of the fight he
had to put up, in having the
riding changed from the original
set-up in the plan of distribution
of. seats in the House of orn-
mons, and emphasized the fact
that in the original state of carv-
ing, the name "Huron" was not
even going to be left. He de-
clared that having won three
elections with the support of the
people, he would win again,
The chairman called on John
Hanna, M.L.A., North Huron;
Thomas Pryde, MLA,, Huron, and
Charles McNaughton, Exeter, the
new president, who, each in turn,
addressed the audience.
Gordon Graydon
The special speaker, Gordon
Graydon, M.P. for Peel Riding,
was introduced to the convention
by Mr. Cardiff, in a few well-
chosen words.
Mr. Cardiff reminded the con-
and is- sinking a fraction of an
inch every year.
The auditorium where the
Lions convention was held was
an immense place and quite
modern. Mexico being a, country
of music and entertainment, the
delegates were treated to top
entertainment. Mr. Roy termed
the program "as the most wond-
erful extravaganza he ever wit-
nessed or ever hope to see." The
color and scenery in the show
was beyond his vocabulary to
describe.
George Toyer( history a n d
music teacher at Clinton District
Collegiate Institute, was Mr.
Ray's guest at the meeting, and
when called on to make the draw,
drew Mr. Roy's name.
Arena Business
The main business of the meet-
ing centred around the bingos
and $2;000 draw, in aid Of arti-
ficial ice in Clinton Lions Arena.
Lion Ken McRae reported on the
progress made in the ticket sales
for the draw.
Members were informed that
some preliminary 'work had been
started at the arena.

vention of Mr. GraydOn's long
experience in political life. He
had been a member of the House
of Commons since 1935 and, led
the Conservative party members
for two and a half years during
the recent war. He also showed
his interest in the world situa-
tion through his attendance at
San Francisco, Lake Success and
other meetings of world courts.
Mr. Graydon expressed his
pleasure at being present for the
first time in his career at a con-
vention. in Huron County, ' He
paid tribute to the Huron, sec-
tion of the Dominion and predict-
ed an election within the next
year. He also congratulated Mr.
McKinley in the 'unselfish atti-
tude he had adopted in with-
drawing from the arena as a
possible candidate in the conven-
tion. He spoke words of encour-
agetnent to the local smembers
and in behalf of the new presi-
dent, Charles MeNaughton and
his fellow officials.
Mr. Gradyon declared that it
usually took a good deal of evi-
dence to make him optimistic
over elections and that now there
was such evidence for optimism.
He stated, "There are certain
characteristics 'developing within
the government in Ottawa, which
in my opinion., are not healthy
nor good for this country,
"The Liberal Government has
been in power for 17 years, has
won four elections, and any gov-
ernment with such a record has
an inclination developed within
it to think and believe that it
governs by 'divine right'."
"Moreover, when governments
pile up huge surpluses, such as
the present government has been
doing, there is a tendency to be-
come extravagant in the distri-
bution of this money, which af-
ter all comes from the taxation
of the people."
"This is in evidence," said Mr.
Graydon, "in the huge telephone
bills submitted for payment, in
carelessness that results in huge
losses in military camps, in large
sums paid out for travelling ex-
penses of officials, etc., etc.
"Lopsided governments are
never too careful. They are con-
duceee to dangerous developments,
and excessive expenditures.
"The by-elections give evidence
of a display of confidence in. the
Conservative opposition in the
House of Commons, Since 1949
there have been 22 such elections
tin which the Conservatives have
, contested 12, gained five seats,
held four and lost none."
Mr. Graydon warned the con-
vention of the need of an exem-
plary democratic system of gov-
ernment and pointed out that.
, when he went to the World.
Council at San Francisco, only
one out of every 12 governments
in the world had a Communist
system, but that last year when
he went to Lake Success to the
same kind of meeting, there was
one out of every three of the
nations governed in Communist
fashion, e
"The world is so small nowa-
days, that everyone is sitting on
the other's doorstep," said Mr.
Graydon. "The problems of oth-
er nations have become our prob-
lems, It is for us as Canadians
to build up an exemplary democ-
racy and democratic government
that will inspire other nations to
emulate (sue system.
"In this 'task the Progressive
Conservative constituency in Can-
ada ought to have a large part."
Thanks to Mr. Graydon was
expressed by the convention and
the meeting was closed by sing-
ing, "God Save the Queen."
