EXCAVATORS FIND OLD BARK ROAD AT EXETER Material Used About 70 Years Ago To Raise Street Level. When some of the workmen en­ gaged by the Bell Telephone Com­ pany were doing excavation work on Main Street in the business section preparatory to the installation of cables to replace wires and poles, they found a quantity of boft :dark material which old residents recog­ nize as tan-bark put there about 70 years ago. At that time the road passed' through a black ash swale and the bark, so they had been told in their youth had been used to raise the level about four feet. The bark is now several feet below the surface. Two well known residents, Reeve W. D. Sanders and William Carling, state that the bark was brought from Carling’s tannery, a pioneer enter­ prise. The tannery went out of business about 6i0‘ years ago for lack of water and as the owners of land near the river about a mile to the north, would not sell the concern was discontinued. A PRETTY JUNE WEDDING IN BENMILLER The United Church parsonage at Benmiller was the scene of a very Jretty June wedding when the Rev. W. J. Patton at high noon, June 6th, united in the bonds of holy, matri­ mony, Miss Bessie Irene, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. McCabe, of Colborne, to Harvey Al­ ton, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Her­ bert S. Alton, of West Wawanosh. The bride looked (charming in a gown of codie blue silk crepe, trim­ med with blue lace over georgette, with blue hat and gray accessories to match and carried a bouquet of roses and snap-dragons, They were attended by Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Webster, sister of the groom. Mrs. Webster was gowned in a beautiful blue silk crepe with accessories to match. The wedding ceremony over, the bridal party returned to the home of the bride’s parents where a bountiful wedding dinner was served to twenty-five guests of the immediate relatives of the bride and groom, The dining room was decor­ ated with pink and white streamers with a white bell suspended from the ceiling directly over the bridal cake. The remainder of the home was beautifully decorated with a profus­ ion of spring and other flowers. Af­ ter a few hours of social intercourse the happy couple left amid a shower of confetti and rice on a motor trip to visit ill Exeter. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Johnston, uncle and aunt of the groom and many friends and rela­ tives in the city of London and in the Township of Stanley. After their return they will reside on the groom’s farm In West Wawanosh., Sunday School Lesson THE RISEN LORD AND THE GREAT COMMISSION Sunday, June 17.—Matt. 28.1-20 Golden Text Go ye therefore, and teach all na­ tions, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to ob­ serve all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo. I am with you ailway, even unto the end of the world. (Matt. 28:19, 20.) It has often been noted- that it was the women, not the men, who were last at the cross and first at the -sep­ ulchre. They stood by the Lord Jesus -Christ in His death; they greeted Him in His resurrection. Indeed, as a well-known commander has pointed out, Mary of Bethany was the only on© of -Christ’s disciples who really comprehended His- thrice repeated announcement of His coming death and resurrection, and it was on this account that she anointed Him with the precious ointment as he sat at meat in the house of Simon. “She did it fo'i" My burial,” the Lord said. And she, the only one who believed He would rise from the dead, therefore "was not among the women who went to the sepulchre with incense to enbalm the body of Jesus.” But Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus, and Salome went to Do YOU wish Signed: THE LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION OF ONTARIO I YOU HAVE READ OF RUSSIA. You know what farming in the land of the Soviet has become.State collectivization with industrialization the supreme goal, has made the farmer little better than the beasts of the field, the hewer of wood and the drawer of. water to the more favored classes, those to whom communism looks for the ultimate success of its state industrialization experi­ ment. FARMERS MUST BE FREE Ontario wants no “swing to the left”. Its farmers must be left free. The men who, in 1932, produced $226,446,000 of this province’s wealth, cannot be made the Stepping stone for some radical experiment in state industrialization. Farmer though he is, Ontario’s Liberal leader is prepared to sacrifice his own friends, to betray his fellow workers in the fields in a frantic bid for control of Ontario’s vast natural wealth. By his own confession he "swings well to the left”, towards the land where the communists, the socialists and the radicals dwell. HIS OWN WORDS Accept his own words to the electors of West York on May 14, 1932.“I swing well to the left where some Grits do not tread. Or take his speech to St. Thomas voters on February 11, 1933. Then the C.C.F., its ideals not yet analyzed, its impossible-to-be-achieved dreams still Unexploded, had seized briefly on a part of the public imagination. Mr. Hepburn saw in it another opportunity for a bid for power at the expense of the solid, producing classes of the province. So seizing his opportunity, recking nothing of what such a pro­ gramme would mean, he said, in all the enthusiasm of his inexperience: "The C.C.F. is art example of this realignment of political thought. It is the latest move in Radicalism, I sympathize with the people who make up the ranks of the C.C.F, They are frying, at least, to find a way out.” STAGNATION AND MORTIFICATION Ontario’s Liberal, leader would cut the cost of government fifty per cent. A tall order, but quite possible if Mr. Hepburn and his party are prepared to sacrifice progress and give the people of Ontario stagnation and mortification. To cut his expenditures Ontario’s Liberal leader, among other "economies” would wipe out the Ontario Department of Agriculture. He has placed himself on record to effect this. „ The Toronto Globe, in reporting his speech at a banquet in Toronto on December 15, 1932, says: "The departments of Game and Fisheries, AGRICUL­ TURE, Labour, and Mines, the Motion Picture Bureau, Research Work and Colonization were a few which Mr. Hepburn cited as instances where curtailment or ABANDON­ MENT of one service could be effected without hurting administration.” WHAT OF THE FARMER? Possibly administration would not suffer. But what would happen to the farmer? Where would he be with his overseas selling agent gone merely to set up a record for low spending? Would it be true economy to wipe out, at one enthusiastic gesture, the agricultural research' which makes available to every farmer, without money and without price, all the resources of science, skill, knowledge and experience for the enlarging of output and the improvement of quality at lower operating costs? WOULD THESE HELP? Would it help the. farmer to wipe out the department which held, for farmers and farm women, in 1933, a total of 93 courses in agriculture and home economics at as many centres throughout the province? Would the monetary saving justify the elimination in every county of the trained agricultural representative, the man to whom the farmers look for advice in cases of plant or stock disease? Through abandonment of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Ontario’s Liberal leader would abandon the Ontario Marketing Board. Can the Ontario farmer afford to be without this board, or would its abandonment be another of the Costly Economies which Mr. Hepburn proposes. The Ontario Marketing Board knew that fruit produced in Ontario was good fruit, but it knew also that it was not reaching outside markets in a way which made potential buyers aware of its goodness. Through co-operation with fruit growers, cooling places and a grading system were estab­ lished. In 1929, the year this policy was decided on, Ontario sold 65 carloads of apples beyond its own boundaries. In 1933, after fen cooling places had been established, sales in Great Britain alone totalled 450,000 barrels, val­ ued at $1,080,000. In addition to this, there were correspondingly large sales on the continent of Europe and in the Canadian West. In the same five years the export of peats and plums grew from practically nothing to more than 100,000 packages. This is one service rendered by the Henry Government which the Ontario Liberal Party would wipe out in its effort to make good ori the rash “economy” promise of its leader. the tomb “very early in the morning the first day of the week ... at the rising of the sun, “bringing sweetspiees, that they might come and anoint Him.” They were ques­ tioning among themselves, ’‘Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?” God had looked after that. “And behold, there was a great earthquake foir the angel of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and His raiment white as1 snow; and for fear of Him the keep­ ers did shake, and became- as dead.” These "keepers” were the men Who had been stationed by the- Jew­ ish priests to make sure the disciples should not “come by night and steal Him away,” A watch of men, get to defy and defeat the purposes of God, does not get very far. Ghrist’s enemies might well fear; His friends need not. The angel said to the women: “Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as He said Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” \ It is said that a Mohammedan once said to a Christian that Christianity has no such place as Mecca, the sac­ red city where the body of Moham­ med himself is buried. And the Chris­ tian reminded the Mohammedan that the reason why Christians make no pilgrimage to the tomb of the dead body of the founder of Christianity is that He- is- not dead, but living, and in that very fact Christianity is dif­ ferent from all other religions the to be a KULAK But this is only a small part of what the Ontario Marketing Board, product of the progressive Conservative administra­ tion, has done for the farmer. PRICES WENT UP In 1932 it saw another opportunity and this year saw Ontario Brewers who had abandoned Ontario barley using 1,000,000 bushels of the Ontario product at a price $150,000 above the current market quotation. The board turned to the problems of the turnip grower. As a result of its first season’s work the board obtained one contract for 1932 for 40,000 bushels a»d the price obtained now by the farmers is between 50 and 100 per cent, better than before the board became interested in the situation. Export sales of cattle in 1933 for the whole of Canada totalled 50,317 head, valued at $3,189,194. Aggressive sales methods of the Ontario Marketing Board were responsible for TWO-THIRDS OF THIS TOTAL—31,783 HEAD, VALUED AT $2,014,471—GOING FROM ONTARIO. What the Ontario Department of Agriculture and its sub­ sidiary, the Ontario Marketing Board—the Department which Liberal Leader Hepburn would wipe out—has done for the bacon industry needs no comment. The figures speak for themselves. BACON SALES JUMPED In 1932 Ontario sold thirty million pounds of Bacon in the British Market. In 1933 the figure has grown to 40,000,000 pounds. AND THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 1934 HAVE BROUGHT INCREASED BACON RETURNS OF MORE THAN $15,000,000 TO THE FARMERS OF THIS PROVINCE. Export of 'dressed poultry has grown from.a negligible figure to a total, in 1933, of $1,226,098. To improve live stock herds of tbe province it agreed to pay twenty per cent, of the cost of pure bred sires. In 1932 alone* there were 430 applications and $37,000 was paid. In the five years 442 approved herd sires were Sent into Northern Ontario. On these the Ontario Government paid 30 per cent, of the cost, plus the freight. Efforts of the department and co-operation of dairymen have improved the quality of the 86,000,000 pound annual production of Cheddar cheese from 89 per cent, first quality in 1924 to 96 per cent, first quality in 1932 and Ontario Cheddar Cheese now brings a premium of from two to three cents over cheese from other countries. Ontario is the only province which loans money to farmers on the security of their lands and chattels. In 1933 it loaned in round figures, $6,700,000 to 3,415 applicants. PLEDGED TO ELIMINATION This is the department which Mitchell Hepburn, leader of Ontario’s Liberal Party, has pledged himself to elimi­ nate. In one fell swoop he would wipe out a department which has done more than anything else in the Dominion of Canada to see the farmers of this Province through the period of agricultural depression. Ontario canriot afford the loss of its Departmerit of Agriculture; • Ontario must have construction under the progressive Henry Administration, Destruction under Liberal leader Hepburn would mean ruin world has ever known. "Here lies” ds written on the tomb of every founder of every “religion” and of every great hero, but not on the tomb of Christ, of this tomb alone can it be said: "He is not here, for He is risen.” And the angel added: “As He said” The Son of God and Saviour of men always keeps His word. The angel told the women to “go quickly, and tell His discplesf that He is .risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him.” This again the Lord had predicted before His death: “After that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee” (Mark 14:28). While they were on this errand the risen Lord Himself met them and uttered the salutation, “All Hail,” which means, literally, "Q joy!” They fell at Jiis feet and worship­ ed Him, as well they might. Again came the assuring word, “Be not afraid,” Again came the command to tell the disciples to go into Gali­ lee and meet Him there. Galilee had been the scene of a large part of our Lord’s earthly and miraculous miniisi- try. A minister parenthesis in the nar­ rative occurs just here. While the women were on their happy enrand, some of the soldiers who had -been set to watch the tomb went into the city and rpported to the chief priests what had occurred. Doubtless they told the actual truth about the earth­ quake, the angel, resiir/recti-on and the empty tomb, here was only one thing the false religious leaders- of the Jews could do. after hurriedly conferring together, “They gave large money unto the soldieirs, paying: Say ye His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we slept. And if this come to the Governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and seucre you.” Thre is nothing new in bribery and corruption did as they were instruct­ ed, “and this saying is commonly ire- ported among the Jews until this day,” But Christianity could never have changed cowardly disciples into fearless- witnesses for Christ, (who gladly laid down their lives rather than deny Him, if it had been based upon a lie they had invented and cir­ culated. It has been well said that the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the- dead is the best attested fact in human history. The disciples went into Galilee and there, in a mountain “where Jesus had appointed them,” He met them. Mountains, in scripture, are a. type or symbol of Christ’s kingdom and- His ministry with His (Sermon on the Mount. He predicted His return in righteousiiess and glory to reign over this earth as the Mount of Olives, And now He gives the immortal com­ mission to His, disciples as only a di­ vine King could: *“A11 power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations., baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all' things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” ANDREWS LIVER SALT In TINS—35c and 6Oc NEW, LARGE flOTTLE, 75? Shingles! British Columbia xxxxx Best grade at $3.60 per square A. J. CLATWORTHY Phone No. 12, GRANTON
