He will recover, according to hospital offi­ cials. The accident happened Sun­ day. J. C. Smythe, of Bothwell, driver of the auto, swerved his car into the ditch when an accident seemed imminent, but the boy, after hesitating continued into the path of the car. When Lester Desjardine, a motor­ ist, sought to pass a car driven by Edwin Thiel, both of Zurich, on the main street of that town Saturday night, they collided. Desjardine’s machine crashed into a tree, Thiel’s into a house, and both were badly wrecked, the driver's escaping. Traf­ fic Officer Norman Lever investi­ gated the accidents..

Up what time we like on Tuesday morning as it was a free day. Most of them me­ andered down to Cook’s office in Trafalgar Square to see about tick­ ets, etc., for their return to France and their invitation to the garden •party at Buckingham Palace, the next day. Most of the pilgrims got thorn and some did not. One thing we noticed was that the pilgrims have been collecting anything in the shape of invitations, menus and pro­ grams to take hack with, them to Canada as a reminder of their trip and show the folks at holme. But I think all of those who came on this trip will never forget it or be sorry they came. The only thing is that we have had so much to see in such a slhort time. After going to Cooks’ had a little time to spare so went to have a look around the National Portrait Gallery which is just op­ posite Cooks’ Offipe, in the base­ ment of the Church of the St. Mar- tins-in-the-Field where the Rev. D. Sheppard, preaches. The admission to the Gallery was free and there is gathered together quite a large col­ lection of pictures of those that have been noted for one thing or another and quite a lot who are noted for certain things at the pre­ sent day and not waiting till they were dead to hang them, but hung them on the wall while living. These pictures go back to the year 1649 and this was a picture of title* Duke of Monmouth, painted after he had been executed. There are statesmen preachers, soldiers, kings, queens, including Henry the Eighth with his eight wives. If every king had bad as many wives as he it would have made a lot more work for the paint­ ers. There is enough pictures in here to keep you busy for half a day. But I think most people would sooner stand at the street corner and see the living people of the present go by, and t/here is quite a crowd in Old London. It makes you wonder where they are going to and* coming frotn and how they all live. After this we went and had a good dinner, English style, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and veget­ ables, pie and coffee for 40c. After dinner .took a stroll through Con­ vent Gardens. This is the chief point wlhere vegetables, fruit and flowers are gathered from all over England and the Empire. Oranges from South Africa and apples from Australia, etc., and it is quite a sight to see it. Quite a few of us went on to the hew Masonic Temple, There was an invitation extended on board ship to all Masons to attend. We met at 4.30 when the third de­ gree was put on by Canada Lodge 3527. There were not many Can­ adians there, about 75. They ex­ pected 3 00 or 400, but it was not given out enouglh. But those who went would have been sorry to have missed it as it will be something to remember and talk about. The Canada Lodge, London, turned out in full force and there were 10 Past Masters out of 24 .present. 5 are de­ ceased. This lodge was forimed in 1911 and is made up chiefly of Can­ adians wiho are living in London. The work was put on in a first-class manner and was over by about 7:30. After tliis we proceeded to the Con- nought Rooms for- dinner. Toasts were given and replied to .by the vis­ iting bretihren. The W. Bro. J. O- Smith, P.A.G.D.C. said “We greet you as Brothei’ to Brother.” Anoth­ er said “One King, one Anthem and One Flag”; another said “The Mem­ orial was Unveiled at Vinny Ridge by the King of Canada.” The past master of the Canada Lodge at To­ ronto, the Rector of Luxenbury, Grand See’y, and Justice Taylor, of Winnipeg, spoke besides others. Altogether it was an evening to be remembered and closed at 10:00. The Masons were invited to come back the next day and look over the temple. The next morning we were up in g'&od tilme and caught either the underground or a bus to get down to the centre of the city again. We had to be at Westminster Hall by 10:10, daylight saving time. We went to Westminster Hall to hear an address from the Hon. Stanley Baldwin. There was quite a crowd wihen we were all gathered togeth­ er. Westminster Hall is a large building (where the late King laid in state.) There was quite a lot outside. We were lead by two bands and we listened to a good ad­ dress against war. The prime Minister said, “If the dead could rise there would be no war. It is a pity the living have not the brains to see that war gets us nowhere, but puts us back. Maybe if the living could see the graveyards dotted over France and elsewihere they would think otherwise. The waste of money and property which can be restored, and life which cannot.” After this we all lined up in the. companies we had at Vlmy and marched to the Cenotaph wlhere the service was conducted by the Bishop of London who said ho was off that Thursday to Canada for the fifth time and after England, Canada was the next and best country to live in.

Conservative Leader Speaks at Bayfield Ignoring a shower of rain which’ gave them a good soaking hundreds sat and stood without shelter at Bayfield Wednesday afternoon of last week and listened to Hen. Earl Rowe, Conservative leader, and his aide, Col. Geo. A. Drew, at the Hur­ on-Perth basket picnic. The crowd that attended was estimated between 2,500 and 3,000 persons. Mr. James Morley, of Exeter, president Of the South Huron Conservative Associa­ tion, opened the meeting and then turned it over to Mayor H. J. A. MacEwen, of Goderich, who acted at chairman. Premier Hepburn has repeatedly denied the statement of Hon. Earl Rowe, Ontario Conservative leader, that the debt of the province since the present Government took office has been increased by $88,000,000. Mr. Rowe quoted the Premier to prove his point. He quoted Liberal figures used in the fast provincial election campaign placing the debt in 1934 at $610,000,000. He then quoted from a speech given by the premier at London on August 8, when he had admitted that the debt at the present time was well above $700,000,000. “Just let me touch upon the ques­ tion of increased taxation for a /moment or two,” said Mr. Rowe af­ ter using the pieniier’s own figures to prove his debt statement, “When the Henry Government went out cf office in 193 4, Ontario’s direct tax­ ation amounted to $45,200,000. To­ day, under the Hepburn regime, they have reached the stupendous sum of at least $163,750,000. And this is taking the returns from the provin­ cial income tax at only $6,000,000 and th&y are likely to be much great­ er than this.” The rally today was th© largest of its kind in this district in many years. Hon. Mr. Rowe was supported on the platform by Col, George A. Drew, campaign director for the party and both speakers directed a heavy fire of criticism at the admin­ istration. and policies of the Hep­ burn Government. Prominent Con­ servatives from all *parts cf Ontario were present, as well as a number of visitors from Toronto. Among those on the platform were: Hon. Nelson Monteith, ex-M.L.A., Strat­ ford; E. J. Gott, ex-M.P., Amherst- burg; Nelson Trewartha, ex-M.L.A., Clinton; C. B. Raven, ex-M.L.A., of St. Thelmas; H. J. Davis, ex-M.L.A., Aylmer; Fred V. Laughton, ex-M. L. A., Parkhill; Foster Moffat, ex- M. L.A., Port Elgin; L. W. M. Freele, M.L.A., Glencoe; Hon. Dr. R. D. Morand, ex-M.P., of Windsor; Hon. Paul Poisson, ex-MjL.A., Windsor; Hon. Earl Laswon, M.P., Toronto; Lyle LeSueur, Sarnia, president of the Western Ontario Conservative Association, and -others, A welcome was intended to the-visitors by Ro­ bert Brown, of Brussels, warden of Huron County. Mayor H. J. A< McEwan, of Goderich, who acted as chairman. Mr. Rowe, was introduc­ ed by George Elliott, of Clinton, and Col. Drew by C. E. Richardson ex- M.L.A., of St. Marys. The Conservative leader asserted that the cost of ordinary .govern­ ment had increased by 25 ‘per cent, under the Hepburn regime, in spite of the fact that 13 major services had keen largely curtailed or abol­ ished altogether. Promises protection Commenting on the fact that the premier had been forced to vail off his birthday party, Mr. Rowe con­ gratulated Mr. Hepburn on his an­ niversary, and promised that if he would lay* the record of his govern­ ment before the people between now and his next birthday, he would give him a home-coming picnic which would Be protected from^tlie racketeers the premier admitted had gained a foothold, in the party. He would also promise him protection from an oversupply of liquor as there would be, a real liquor control policy in Ontario. « “I don’t know wheitx we are to have an election;” Mr. Rowe admit­ ted. 'A while ago the premier said it would he before long. Then ho read the results of the Quebec elec­ tion and hastened to say that there would not be an election for a long time. Right here, I would like to tell Mi'g Hepburn that no Govern­ ment ever saved itself by a tricky gerrymander and neither can his.” Mr. Rowe declared that the Gov­ ernment had adopted a policy of pro­ fit at any cost, rather than control, in the administration of the liquor laws. He expressed sympathy with those persons who had been subject­ ed to abuse by Premier Hepburn be­ cause they had dared to voice hon­ est criticism of that liquor law ad­ ministration.

P. Jackson Secretary if Dealing generally with the liquor law administration, Mr. Rowe de­ clared that the government had is­ sued licenses without regard to the wishes of the community or locality of the beverage room. He pointed out that nearly 50 per cent, of the hotels licensed today were not stan­ dard hotels when the liquor laws were amended to permit the sale of beer. This indicated the extent Lo which liquor had been fostered by the present Government. “The Hepburn Government, in its efforts to help balance its budget through the /medium cf the beer keg has flouted entirely the wishes of a large section of the provinse,” continued Mr. Rowe. “Districts such as Huron, Perth and Peel, have had the wishes of a majority of the people flouted by the liquor control hoard. In these districts the Gov­ ernment not only forces beverage rooms on the district, but spends the public money by means of an appeal to the Privy -Council to maintain the action thej’ have taken. And then the premier announces that he will disregard the Privy Council ruling." Touching on farm problems, Mr. Rowe took the present administra­ tion to task for closing Ontario House in London, England, and as­ serted that this side-show gesture had cost th© farmers of Ontario mil­ lions of dollars. Employment Failure of the government to find an adequate plan of employment came under’ fire of the Conservative leader. “When he was in Opposition, Mr. Hepburn .wailed loud and long how wrong it was to maintain any army of men in a state of idle­ ness,” Mr. Row© pointed out. “Mr. Hepburn promised when he was elected he would put them all to work. What has been the result? We have had two years cf waiting for his constructive program and it (has yet not materialized. Mr. Hepburn’s work program must still be wrapped in ’’Celophane,” It is still unsoiled, for it has never been used. “Mr, Hepburn was going to build’ a lot of highways with his un­ employed army,” coninued the speaker. “He was going to repair and maintain those that had been constructed. Again I ask you, what has heen the result? The highways of the province are being allowed to fall into a condition that will de­ mand a heavy toll from prosterity.” Mr.. Rowe asserted that Premier Hepburn was imposing taxes on top of taxes for the sole purpose of building up a budget of a bookkeep­ ing nature intended to distract at­ tention of the voters from the ob­ vious failure of his administration. “Mr. Hepburn fears the next elec­ tion,” declared Mr. Rowe in con­ clusion. “This is indicated by the fact the next session of the Legisla­ ture will see the introduction of a redistribution bill that will b© de­ signed with the purpose of -gerry­ mandering the ridings to the ad­ vantage of the Government. Signs are not wanting that Ontario is ready for a change.” Luncheon A luncheon for party workers in the basdment of St. Andrew’s Unit­ ed church preceded the main event. The ciowd, which taxed the quart­ ers to capacity, heard a short ad­ dress from Col. Drew in which he devoted his attention to impressing on the workers the value of organ­ ization, and the question of the re­ lationship between the riding and ventral organizations. He advised that without unwise haste ridings should turn their attention to select­ ing their candidates at the earliest opportunity. I)r, Tye, of Milverton, presided over the short program at the luncheon. Col. Drew, who presided Mr. Rowe, stated that neither Major University Coat of Arms 1.

He -stated that premier Hep­ burn went around the country say­ ing, scurulous things about other men but that the “pocket Musso­ lini” was annoyed at having his own august person described as a “play­ boy premier.” He attacked premier Hepburn’s statement that England should pay its war debts before criticizing On­ tario's repudiation of Hydro .con­ tracts. Hepburn had picked up “that statement down in Miami while there at the expense of the people of Ontario,” he said. MANY ATTEND PICNIC OF CANDEBOYE W. I.
