HIBBERT AND FULLARTON TOWNSHIPS ADDED TO SOUTH HURON After considerable controversy and numerous changes the redistri­ bution bill presented in the House pf Commons, at Ottawa, was passed in the dying hours of the session. Hib­ bert and Fullarton Townships, pf Sputh Perth new become part ef South Huron while the town ef Clin­ ton and 'Goderich Township have been placed in North Huron. Perth, county will now b© turned into one riding with the exception of the Townships named. Mr. fiianderspn the former Liberal Whip, is the only one in Ontario to loose his riding. The following report from Ottawa appeared in the Toronto Globe on Friday: Two Ontarians, Fred Sanderson, South Perth, and John.R, MacNicol, Toronto, Liberal and Conservative, respectively, showed an embattled Commons some proper amenities. Mr. Sanders'on, who is the only On­ tarian to lose his riding in the re­ distribution, said that Mr. MacNicol the Ontario Committee Chairman, had been “very courteous and fair wit'h me any time we had any con­ versation,” and the Toronto membor responded in debate a little later, thanking Mr. Sanderson for his gra­ ciousness. Admits Difficulties committee, nor do I want to break any agreement which might have been made,” said tne South Perth Liberal. “I’m perfectly willing at all times tp take a sporting chance but there has been no justification for disturbing the townships in St Perth, I do not know whether this has been done in other constituen­ cies in Ontario. I have always been under th© impression that counity boundaries should be adhered to as far as .possible in making a redistri­ bution. If that principle were fol­ lowed, we would have a different picture today in Western Ontario. Bruce County would Ibe one seat, and the same with Huron, Oxford. Middlesex and perhaps many other counties in the Province. I am un­ der the impression that any one hon­ orable member is quite sufficient to represent a whole county in this House of Commons. I do not want to be misunderstood in making this protest. There has been an agree­ ment arrived at, and it may be said that I was a party to t/hat agreement 'But it cannot be an agreement when one has given his consent under pressure. If the agreement is not fair, there is no reason why thiw committee cannot adjust it and make it fair. I am asking for fair play and a chance in the next general elections in the county of Perth.” The home of Mr. and iMrs. Fred Rudolph, Mitchell, was the scene of a very pretty wedding when Mise Bertha Marie Rudolph was 'united in marriage with William Stenke, of Detroit, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stenke, of Mitchell. Rev. H. , J. Storm, of Grace Lutheran church performed the ceremony. 25 YEARS AGO June 4 1908 for in Mr. the All this, in the light of the vehe­ ment Saskatchewan and Quebec rows constituted a very refreshing inci­ dent of to-day’s continued debate. It did not mean that Mr. Sande was satisfied witih the redistribu­ tion in Western Ontario—he most decidedly was not satisfied, and he thought George Spotton, North Hu­ ron Conservative, was being mater­ ially aided in the realignment of the Perths and the Hurons. But—and this was not in this redis­ tribution debate—>hw iconceded there were extreme difficulties problems with which to contend asked for a “sporting chance.” Mr. Sanderson’s main protest against taking the Township of Hib­ bert and Fullarton out of South Perth, as was proposed, the placing them in South Huron. “These town­ ships,” he said “have been in South Perth ever since the Confederation. I know in some cases these matters cannot be adjusted, but the only equitable and fair way of making an edjustment here is to leave the twoj townships where they have since 1867. , that and and was been “Sporting Chance” “I have no desire to delay this Ml NO MORE SICK HEADACHES Fruit-a-tioea end year a of pain "I suffered exceed­ ingly with indiges­ tion and sick head­ aches for years.

As Well As Can BeX After thanking Mr. Bander-son. for his courteous references to himself, Mr. MacNicol analyzed the Western Ontario riding in respect to popula­ tion, urban and rural, and concluded that, under the proposed redistribu­ tion, things were as well balanced as they could be. At the census of 1921 the two Counties of Huron and Perth had a population of 97,731 and returned four members, with an average unit of 24,443 as compared with the average for tihe entire Pro­ vince of 35,776. As a result of the present redistribution, Huron and Perth fbined three 191. The Counties ( which had foeen 1 io redistribution discussions, Mr, MacNicol said, had naa Commons membersihip reduced to three. In 1921 the counties had a combined population of 103,78(5 and returned • four members, giving a unit of 26,- 946. Under the present redistribu­ tion these two counties would have a combined population of 99,9856. and would return three members, giving a unit of 33,325. Answering references to the de­ sirability of maintaining county boundaries, Mr. MacNicol said: “.Un­ der the present redistribution there will be only a few counties left in all' Ontario that .will have their own boundaries- as the boundaries of the new riding. That gives some idea of the changes that have had to be made throughout Canacta as a result of the splendid increase in the pop­ ulation of the Province of Quebec which population is divided by sixty- five, representing its representation in this House, in order to give the unit. In my opinion, that is one of the saving clauses of the British North America Act. If it were not for that clause this House would . likely be twice its present size. I believe this country is overgoverned today. By that I mean that there are altogether too many members of Parliament, Senators, Legislative Councillors and members of the Legislators. To .put it in the other way, too may men engaged in the government of Canada, That saving clause iu the British North America Act, I hope, will never be removed. would have a population com- of 96,572, and would return members,giving a unit of 2,- of Bruce and Grey, brougnt into Ontar- i discussions, Matched White Pine $35.00 per M.
