In the ' three and a half years of Liberal rule the government had not only balanced the budget but had created a splendid surplus. The savings to the- tax-payers of the county of Hur­on were almost enough to run the county for a year. Hydro rates had been reduced to the ru-ral com­munities. In 193 4 there were only 190' miles of rural lines in Huron County. In 1935 there were. 440 miles; 1936, 642 miles and this year 2300 miles of lines will be com­pleted.

Premier Hepburn was the one man who defied the big interests. Right­ly or wiongly <he defied the big in­terests when he cancelled the hydro contracts and saved this province millions of dollars. When he de­ cided to oppose the sit-down strik­ers' he did what he thought was right tor the people of Ontario. Mr. Hepburn has not renewed any of the old contracts, but he has made new cues at a better advantage. Speaking of temperance Mr. Mil­ler said that it should not he made a political issue. When Mr. Rowell made it an issue his party was not elected. When Mr. Hearst gave prohibition his party was defeated in the next election. Mr, Hepburn’s proposition to appoint a commission comprising a Judge, a Conservative and a Liberal and remove the ques­ tion from politics, he thought was a good one. Mr. Hepburn in 193 4 had been elected to clean up a fin­ancial mess.

The money is to be set aside as a trust fund of the Diocese of Huron, to provide a .bursary to be called the John R. and Eleanor Ogden Bur­ sary “for the purpose of educating a student for the sacred ministry at Huron College”. Only the interest is to be used. Because reduction in interest has reduced the value of existing bursaries, in most cases by fifty per cent, the new gift to the college was “particularly acceptable’, said Dr. C. C. Waller, principal of the college. Monday, September 27. 1937 The Municipal council met at the town hall with all members present.
