INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE Dr. Alexander Moir, of Hensail has taken the field as an indepen­ dent candidate in the riding of Hur­ on. He believes that many of the electors feel that the temperance cause is not properly represented by either of the party candidates, and that it is of sufficient importance to call for a candidate who will place it at the forefront of the campaign in this riding. Dr. Moir was born at Hensail and has lived in that community all his life with the exception of about ten years spent in Western Canada. He took courses at Goderich High School, Goderich Model School, Har- bord Collegiate. Institute, Toronto; Denver Normal .School; Manitoba University and after taking his med­ ical training there, he has practised, his profession continuously fol’ thirty years, specializing in Radium during the past twenty years. For the last five years he has conducted a well-known private hospital one mile south of Hensall on No. 4 Highway, where he also operates a farm. SERIOUS ACCIDENT His foot torn Off at the ankle in collision of his motorcycle and a motor car at Brutfefield Monday af­ ternoon, Rae. J. Watson, bicycle motorcycle dealer, of 257 Welling­ ton street, London, was taken in a serious condition to Seaforth Hos­ pital. It was found necessary to amputate the leg 'below the knee. Later reports state that his condi­ tion is^favorable. Clarence Loune, 729 King street, London, one of Watson’s employees who was riding . on the pillion seat of the motorcycle, was also brought to the hospital suffering from leg lacerations. His condition was re­ ported as satisfactory but Watson, suffering extreme shock, was re­ garded as critical from the time of the amputation operation. Watson’s leg was pinned either by the bumper or the wheel of a car driven by Charles H. Reid, of Brucefield. The foot and leg ten­ dons were torn off as the cycle sped on nearly 75 feet after the col­ lision. Only quick action of two Dun­ gannon men, A. L. McDoald and Lome McKenzie, wiho were driving past is believed to havfe saved Wat­ son’s life. They immediately put a tourniquet on the shattered leg which saved him bleeding to death. He was then taken by ambulance to hospital. Watson and his companion had been on a business trip to Goderich and Wingham during the morning and were on their way south to London about 1.30 p.m. when they came to the intersection of the Varna road and No. 4 highway at Brucefield. 'According to police Mr. Reid had his car in front of the store at the southeast corner of the intersection and was swinging to cross the high­ way to the west. The motorcycle was travelling near the west edge of the pavement, police report, as it and the front ehd of the car came together. Traffic Officer Norman Lever, of Clinton, who investigated said that Watson’s foot was still imprisoned by the car when he arrived and the injured man removed to hospital. The shoe and foot from the ankle was underneath the car. It could not be determined whether it had been caught in the wheel or in the car bumpet as the cycle went across the front of the car. bto charge has been laid police said, against Mf. Reid, who is a Re­ tired Brucefield cattle buyer. The details of the 'accident were turned over to provincial Traffic Officer Robinson, of Exeter, who is continu- ’ ifig tile investigation. EXETER FAIR Attractions Good but Attendance Down The Exeter Fair on Tuesday of this week drew a good average crowd, although threatening weath­ er in the morning and the scare of Infantile paralysis no doubt had its effect as the attendance was some­ what below that of the past few yeary. The showing both in the classes for horses and cattle were light but what there were were r, excellent quality. The indoor ex­ hibits. shown for the first time in the new arena, were exceptionally fine, the building lending itself to the display of the goods. Many com­ plimentary remarks were heard of the excellent quality of the ladies’ work. The showing of flowers was very fine and there was a good dis­ play of fruits. The art exhibit was well filled with some very fine work Theie was a good showing of poul­ try and hogs and sheep were well represented-, Mr. R. H. Graham, of the Live Stock branch of the Ontario Dept, of Agriculture, in the absence of De­ puty Minister Fairbairn, stated that fall fairs had started and had con­ tinued as a show place for livestock but instead of stock being driven to the fair on the hoof they are now transported for miles adding to the quality of the fair, He was agree­ ably surprised at the attendance. For special attractions hoise races and greyhound races, introduc­ ed in Exeter for the first time, en­ tertained the crowd in front of the grandstand. A girls’ softball game by local teams attracted the atten­ tion of many. A great many con­ cessions endeavored to lure the small change from the pleasure seek­ ers. An airplane whirred overhead taking up passengers. The Exeter band provided the music. • In a hog calling contest young­ sters proved themselves the more efficient the winners -being Sheldon Sanders, Bolb Pryde and Billy Kress, Jr. The 100 yard dash resulted as follows: Frank ZuFbfigg, Lucan; R. Delbridge, Exeter; Lloyd Bell. Elim- ville. ' The Coronation Diploma offered by the Ontario Fall Fair Association for the best horse in any class went to Wm. Hamilton, Cromarty. In the evening an old time dance and bingo game at the- arena were well patronized. 2.26 Trot or Pace Frederick, James, London (Hodgins) ......................... Ill Jean W.

D. Sanders occupied the chair. The fii st speaker was Mrs. Gee, T. Cockshutt, of Brantford, presi­ dent of the Western Ontario Wo­ men’s Liberal-Conservative Associa­ tion. Mrs. Cockshutt, who is a very pleasing speaker dealt with the school question and the liquor con­ trol issue. If the present situation continues she wondered where it was al] going to end. According to the Liberals the Conservatives intro­ duced beer legislation but it is the Liberals who are administering the Mr. F, G. Gardiner, K.C., reeve £ Forest Hill, was the principal speak­ er. He dealt with several issues and referred to the C.I.O. stating that the Conservative policy is to maintain law and order under any circumstances and at all times. He spoke of the amounts collected, in .Succession duties by the Conserva­ tive government and that the law would be carried out. if the Conser­ vatives were again elected. He also referred to the hydro contracts re­ pudiated by Mr. Hepburn. Speak­ ing of the School Tax issue Mr. Gar­ diner stated that he had been ■ an Orangeman for 2'0 years. The ques­ tion had been settled once and roi’ all in 1863 and had stayed settled until 1934 just previous to the last election. In 19 3'6. when the bill was passed 3 9 Liberals were opposed to it. It was passed against the will of the House. The speaker stood 1.00 per cent, behind Mr. Rowe in regard to the school question. School rights would be protected and pro­ moted. Speaking of the liquor situation the speaker said that the sale of beer and liquor should be made as difficult as possible for our child­ ren to get. The revenue from the sale of liquor in the province of On­ tario in 19 34 was five million dol­ lars and in 1937 it would be ten mil­ lions. The policy of the adminis­ tration with respect to liquor is to sell as much as you can. Seventeen million dollars was spent in the province last year in liquor or $'23 0,00i0 for every working day m the year. Liquor is out-of control in the province of Ontario. The Con­ servatives had repeatedly said they would respect the C. T. A. but in the policy of Mr. Hepburn it had. been thrust upon Huron and other counties. Referring to the Civil Service the speaker said that Mr. Hepburn had dismissed 170|0 civil servants out the front door and 2000 had c'ome in through the back door. Of chose dismissed 55 2 returned men were included. Mr. Rowe’s policy is to have a newly organized civil service where merit and ability will count rather than political favor and re­ turned soldiers will have a prefer­ ence. Dr. Taylor Dr. Taylor, the Conservative can­ didate, was the next speaker and said that the meeting had listened to an able discussion of the issues of the day. He was not fighting Liberals because the questions were beyond party .politics. The people of this province demand honesty of purpose, sincerity and clear-thihk- ing. The duty of the government is to look after the well-being of everyone in the province. He spoke of the government selling northern pulpwoods to a millionaire company in Wisconsin. The serious situation in our own riding that I want to discuss, is the liquor control :or lack of control, said the speaker. I know this con­ dition from a personal angle and from a physician’s standpoint. The beverage rooms are an insult to this co uh try. The present government made a breach of faith in putting them here.
