Golding, Sea - forth, speaking at the Liberal meeting held in Clinton Commun- ity Park yesterday afternoon, deemed it an honour to stand on the same platform as the prime minister and the Liberal candidate A. Y. McLean. He appealed to his hearers for support of Mr. McLean an August 10, and for the party, "which will carry on giving you what I con - cider the best government in this part of the world." Senator Golding recalled the year 1932 when hogs were being sold at $2.90 and he had wondered then how the farmers could make a go of it. Ever since 1935 prices have continued to improve to where the farmer could at least make a decent profit. This im- provement has been paralleled in other walks of life. "Since 1935 we have had excellent government in this Canada of ours." According to the London Free Press this morning, went on the senator, the leader of the Progres- sive Conservatives, George Drew, has referred to the "old, tired" government. I don't know where he would get this idea. To me they are just as active, alert and: con- cerned with the people's welfare as any government since I've been in the House. The average age of the Liberal party members is about 55 years. This is considered the best time of life for giving service. Mr. Drew, himself, is over that average age noW." The sen- ator urged his hearers not to pay much attention to this kind of ar- gument from the opposition. Concerning the country's finan- cial state, Senator Golding quoted $1,092 taxes per capita in 1946 compared with $950 per capita in 1952. This change had been caus- ed by the reduction of the nation- al debt, and by increased popula- tion. He stated that Canada should be proud of the record of the Liberal government since 1935. "I have no doubt in my mind that on Au- gust 10, you will return A. Y. Mc- Lean, and Prime Minister St. Laurent, acid the Liberal govern- ment will carry on for another parliamentary term, That is as it should be." Senator Golding concluded his address by thanking those who were responsible for having the children attend, stating that he felt arrangements should be made for the children to take part in political activities. o - Bill Brock, Kippers.

After failure to hold a success- fol decoration day service in Clinton for some time, members of the Clinton Cemetery Board this year accepted the responsib- ility for organizing and conduct- ing services at Clinton Cemetery. There will be no parade, but the Ministerial Association of Clin- ton, in co-operation with the Board, planned something fine for Sunday, June 28, Representatives from the Clin- ton Loyal Orange Lodge, No, 710; Clinton Branch, Canadian Leg- ion, No. 140 and Clinton Inter- national Order of Oddfellows, No. 83, with their respective ladies' auxiliaries, will meet at the entrance to the cemetery, promptly at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon. They will proceed from there to the Cern- htery Park where service will be eld, and the public is invited. In case of inclement weather the Service will be held in Ontario Street United Church. Rev, H. C. Wilson, Wesley- Willis United Church, is chair- man for the service and the oth- er members of the ministerial association will assist him.
