He is a vice-president of the federal riding association, served On Seaforth Council from 1916 to 1929, has been a member of the Seaforth Hydro Commission since 1921 and chairman of the Seaforth General Plospital board since 1924.

Every municipality in South Hur on was represented by a .goodly num ber of delegates at the annual meet ing and nominating convention. Af ter choosing ex-Mayor Golding to carry the Liberal banner in the next Ontario election, the delegates en joyed fine addresses from Ross Gray M. P. for West Lambtoh, and their own member of Parliament, Thomas McMillan.

He also warned that there may he a redis tribution in the provincial ridings, and appealed to every Liberal .to “get out and get,-busy” for Mr. Gold ing’s candidacy. Mr. Gray opened his address by paying tribute to Mr. McMillan, who he said, was especially conversant with the agricultural problem and listened to, even by the Conserva tives with respect. “From what I have learned of Mr. Golding’s civic record, I am sure that he is a most worthy candidate in the provincial field.” the mem ber from West Lamtuu^ said. “The Provincial Government is riding to a fall, but no candidate can do it all.

Echoing the same hope of Mr. J Gray that the coming Ottawa con ference be a success, Mr. McMillan said that if was about time that Premier Bennett announced his stand with regard to what policy he would follow in the discussions on inter-empire trade. “Every time information on this subject has been sought, Mr. Ben- i nett, by his petulance and bad tem- iper has shown that he wishes to j keep the people in the dark,” the I speaker said. your both liked this The Arrow Nighteze” Mattress Tv-.'.k’A' Are showing at our store this week a complete line of their eds, Springs and Mattresses; ' Couches, Day Beds and Pillows Inner Coil construction guaranteed for five years* Covered in a beautiful Panel Damask Ticking with hundreds of eye let ventilators which admit a continuous circulation of air throughout the mattress.
