L?NE3I- I'Ir(17i)IENT IN.''11U]. COUNTY OE iLUltON I3)" County Clerk, G, W. Rosman The following has been given us as a, eugigestien from County. Cleric Holman to Help the people pf Huron County In the situation caused by hard times and unemployment: Ask the Government not to go on with that piece of liighevay eMeth of Exeter (G utiles) this year, and let the county spend tits one mill, or $44,000,. which would be a'e4 wired to pay the county's 20 per cent, share of this Highway Construction, if made, ort the county roads, under the supervision and Inspection of the Government, the County Engineer',. and• Good. Roads Commission, the local municipal reeves and townshin. road superitnendents, The county roads on which that $44,000 would be spent to be selected by the •Gav- ernment .and our Good Roads Com- mission and County Engineer, It Is suggested' that the following roads which will, no doubt, in the near iu- tune, become King's Iligways be sel- ected as the roads to be improved; (1) The road from Goderich to Blyth, including cutting the big Trill between Goderich and sSaltforcl and the Auburn Hill, (2) The Blue Water Highway from Grand Bend to Amberley, in - eluding the. big cut at Port Albert, (3) The Crediton Road from,,the London King's Highway beginning at Devon and running westward through Crediton to Grand Bend. (4) The Lake Road west of Exe- ter, or the Boundary between See - pen and Hay Townships, 'to the Blue Water Highway. • (5) The road east from Exeter" or the Thames Road, a continuation of the Lake Rand: (6) Tile Zurich road west of Hen- sall to the Blue Water Ilighway. (7) The Brucefield-Bayfield road from Brucefield west to the Blue Water Highway. (8) The MVlill Road, east of Bruce - field on to Seaforth, a continuation of the Bayfield road. (9) The 'road northward from Seaforth to Brussels ands extending northward between Grey -and Morris to Howick. • (10) Any other road upon which such worst could be done In the north-eastern townships of •Grey, Turnberry and Howick. . Now this is a very comprehensive scheme of public works; which could be used for the next two years, to be paid for out •bf the $•44,000, or •one - mill levy, which is provided for year- ly to pay our 20 per cent.; providing the Governtnent is willing to hole, tip their contracts. for twoyears at least. It is not necessary nor proposed that all these roads should be pre- seeded with at one time or it`t one year, but the work could be extend- ed over two years at least to give un- employment to the unemployed or those in need of work within our own county, whereas if you will wait until this is done by contract it will be done by machinery and the county will not get anything out of it except probably to supply the gravel and sand and the privilege of paying .our $44,000 a year to con- tra•ebors, who import their labor, .The need 'of supplying- our 'own people with work and wages is more urgent than giving some eontractoi• a chance to make a big profit at our expense, atit of whish 'we get nothing Besides these. highways are built for two purposes only, to cater to the tourists by giving them easy roads. to travel over, and to give eontrac- tors jobs. This may look fanciful to some bat to us it looks practical and work- able and If the Government is cont soled in the matter they Should give their consent before these conracts are let. It would be common sense and good business to provide employ- )nent for our own people with pick and shovel and wheel -barrows rather than to pay out the same people's earnings, if they can get aiiy, to rich contractors and foreign help. ,Sotiiebody may say, "See the dif- ference in cost." What of that? We would be expending our own money and giving it to our own people and paying no more than the $44,000, which we now pay in one sum to go outside the county. The Red Cross ,Society of the Unit- ed States is raising $10,000,000 for relief work, All very good, but tho Men don't want doleS and relief; they want works and, the privilege, of earn- ing a living wage, and we make bold to sa.y that a schetne such as outline ed above, or something sinister, would not only meet the approval of both Governments at Ottawa and Toronto, but would, no doub, receive tangible support. The work of pre- paring these roads for highway con- struction would just be a.dvarteed a Year or two, that is all, and the read bell thus provided would be all the better tor a 'ear's' settling., We have been taxing our county for highways to the tittle of $44.000 a year just , for tits tourists traffic; .taking people out of tate country to Stratford and •other outside centres.: If some of this were spent to bring traffic into the county, via the Blue Water Ilighway for instance, we' would be helping our own people iii the 'back townships to a market a act. F a � There are many things ordinary wort men with pick,, shovel anl. wheel -barrow can ,d!Q la levellings,. widening, (Welting, moving fences, trees, and ether 'obstructions which would leave very Tattle undone of the preliminary worse in building high- ways, We commend this .as a scheme intended' to help unemploy- ntelit in our own eounty ane spend the $44,0.00 to provie for our own people; besides improving our roads so that over .20 per cent, in the. fu- tune, If demanded, will go mach further than at present hover a• short five or six utiles 'of roads already good enough for ordinary travel. AN 1!iUL ,)GY J..(0.. GARI)INER The following reference to an Us- borne Old Boy, ,eon of Mrs, J. O. Gardiner., of Kirkton, was• taken level the Moose Jtiw Times and will be read with interest by the many friends of Mr. Gardiner in this corn- nituiity, James G. Gardener, ox -Premier and Leader of the Liberal Opposition in Saskatchewan, is, if measured from tile chin up, easily the 'biggest rnan In the Legislative Assembly .of the province, Iii a Rouse of •sixty-three members, including tee Cabinet Min- isters, and five ex -Ministers, Me. Gardiner outranks all others' as a speaker, a debater, a thinlyoi, an authority with an intelligen:ti .and commanding grasp of the subject up for -.discussion. In the legislative -session of one year ago,—natwitlistanding the or- ganized attempt of James Fraser Bryant with liis bi''ef bag full of questionable . and disgusting; affida- vits of jailbirds, and the equally well' organized attempt of Howarth Mc- Connell with his so-called Weston audit to stampede the House and the country into' a• wholesale .condemna- tion of theprevious administration. Mr. Gardiner dominated the Legisla- ture, and even under the. handicap of an 111 -informed Speaker who con- stantly gave rulings against Mr. Gar- diner which could never have been given in any .other British Parlia- ment or Legislature. In the Eetevan by-election cam- 'mime Mr. Gardiner was in the van of`the .battle. It was he 'Who made the issues and from the outset 'plac- ed the Anderson administration strictly on the defensive, a position 111.v/hitch they were forced to re- main, and which they occupy today in a still ,more pronounced degree. The Minister of Highways challeng- ed Mr, Gardiner to come into one of his Meetings and debate highway policies and administration. MVir. Gar - deter picked up the gauntlet thus', thrown down, .e,n,d: emerged victorious, to the opet disconifitnre of Mr. Ste- wart and his party following. T'tvo nighs later, at Midale, Mr. Gardiner delivered what has been described as one of the greatest political speeches ever •delivered in this pro- vince. Again, at the opening of the present session of the Legislature, Mr, Gardiner revealed his mastery of the House. He may be sitting on the Opposition. 'side -of the House, but he is easily the leaner Bone the less. He niay be blocked for a time by unsound rulings from the Chair, as, for example, Mr.Speaker's, rul- ing -on Monday that tete alleged ir- regularities in the Estevan by-elec-° tion were not a natter of grave and sufficient public importance in this province to warrant ,acceptance of a motion which would permit im- inecliate discussion of thein, but, in the long rani, these attempts to ham- per Mr. Gardiner only serve to make his ultimate victories all the great- er. For a long time now well-inform- ed people, both Liberals and Con- servatives, have known that the Propaganda that was spread; over this province against Mr. Gardiner in 1929 and throughout 1930 eman- ated from Conservative party head- quarters. It was craftily designed to alienate from IMrr. Gardiner the support, not only of 'man and wo- men .off independent thought, but of those who proudly call themselves Liberals. It wag to these latter that the insidious Tory peopaganda was mainly addressed. .Utrfortunatelly, for a tiine, it had its effect. Now, however, it is acting as • ti 'boomer- ang, Realization has some to thou- sands of Saskatchewan voters that the Tories fear Mr. Gardiner as they fear no -other public man in this Province. They know that in Mr. Gardiner,, the Liberals have a strong- er, leader, a more holiest and fear- less leader, than any man the Con- servatives Can produce. They know that the biggest victory the Conser- vatives could win would be the dis- placement o,t Me. Gardiner in the Ieadership of the Liberal party in Saskatchewan. Hence the concert- ed Tory attack upon him. At last, Liberals al,tiost without exception, anis thousands of other voters who do not call themselves Liberals, are fully alive to tite ri.a- turn of the game played, and the prepag+aiide spread, by the Tories both prior and subsequent to the last general ptovinetltl election. That game was playett to the litnitf now ft is played "out, The ;prapa ganda,ltas faded into thin ,alt'; the oid•"eleetiolt cries and canards have been disproved, thanks largely to Jamet Fraser Bryant; the ,saneness and honesty of Mr. 'Gav'ddiier's ad - ininistrati M lies been estebiislied the eyes of ell people, while the out, standing ability .ef the inert 'grows upon. all ivitli .every passim,; 1u'outlx and in every trial 0( strength, whether in the Legislature or upon, the public :platform.
