Clerk meet AGED MAN INJURED Nels Peterson, 9 0-year-old resident of Pdrkhill, had his hip broken when he slipped and fell on a snow- covered piece of ice while visiting a neighbor. Mr. Peterson was pick­ ed up and placed on a sleigh by Ron­ ald and Norman McIntyre and taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Marshal Box. A doctor was sum­ moned and the injured man was re­ moved to hospital. Mi. Peterson, despite his 9 0 years, was strong and active. With the death of Mrs. Yorks, on Wednesday of last week Mr. Peterson becomes Parkhill’s old­ est citizen. It takes enthusiasm to achieve truly great things. Another Bad Night Could Get No Rest To the thousands who toss, night after night, on sleepless beds and to whose eyes slumber will not come.

The T. Milburn Co., Ltd,, Toronto, Ont. At a convention of the Liberals of the Huron-Perth riding held in Hen- sall on Friday last, W. H. Golding, of Seaforth, was unanimously select­ ed as the standard-bearer in the coming federal election. Mr. Gold­ ing has been the federal member of the last two parliments. His name was placed before the convention by Mr. Archie W. Morgan, of [Ushorn e Township, and seconded by Dr, A. R. Campbell, of Hensail. J. A. Mc­ Ewen, of Brucefield, acted as chair­ man owing to the illness of the president, Charles Zwicker, of Cred­ iton. In suggesting the name of Mr, Golding, Mr. Morgan said that in this time of crisis Canada needs a strong government. It needs men of integrity, men of courage and good judgment and last but not least, men with experience. There are men with the first three qualifi­ cations but in Mr, Golding, we have a man who has all the qualifications. Mr, Golding’s name was the only one placed in nomination. Mr. Golding in accepting the nom­ ination expressed his appreciation of the kindness shown him during his many years as a public-servant. For 25 years he had been in public life one way and another. In his public expedience at Ottawa, he had felt it his duty to represent all classes qf the constituency. The guest speaker of the after­ noon was Hughes Cleaver, M.P., of Burlington who declared in his op­ ening remarks that the people of Canada have a definite duty on their hands on March 26th. and that duty is that they put King and country above .politics, in selecting a govern­ ment to carry on during Canada’s prosecution of the war. Pie paid tribute to Mr. Golding, stating that he knew him well at Ottawa and always found him a most conscientious and hard work­ er, paying attention to everything he did. Mr. Golding i a man who thinks out every problem which arises and gives his own decision on a question, not one dictated to him, said Mr. Cleaver. Speaking of the coming election, he warned against being over-confident, be­ cause all the enemies of Liberalism will be at work voting day. “There is only fore the people and that is the war. If it has been a good g< ment which has carried on prosecution of the war thus then it should be returned, the Liberals went into 1935, things at Ottawa were not in very good shape,” said Mr. Cleaver. He charged Bennett had sold the people the idea there should not be many imports from other countries and that tariff barriers should be raised. Imports went down. Canada produces a great surplus in many commodities and the first thing Canadians knew was they weren’t finding any place to sell that sur­ plus. “Mr Bennett was not totally re­ sponsible for conditions between 1930 and 1935 because many strange things were happening. There came a breakdown in Canada as in the rest of the world. When the Liberal Government took over in 1935 there were 5 00,000 men out- of work; a railway problem was left on our hands. The treasury was in the red up to about $160,000,000. We could make no rash promises, but we did promise to change trade relation­ ships and that has been successfully done between Canada and the Unit­ ed, States,” said Mr. Cleaver. He told of the Conservatives in the House bitterly attacking the trade agreement with the neighbors to the south, when it is just underway. Under the agreement, said the speaker, Canadian people by 19 3 7 were starting to get qn their feet again. “All the people be prepared to do 1 are all determined effort to the fore Motherland,” said Small mistakes no bound to happen at the outbreak of the war, but. now everything is in ideal condition. He declared that the vote in Quebec last Fall had proven there was unity in Canada. The fact there were only three votes against the Government when war declaration came through, proves there in unity still in the Dominion. The response of the war loan subscription proved unity in Canada, as did Canada needed there was the Cross Society. It so happens bers in the House, who active service last war aud five of them are Conservatives, the rest being Liberals,” said Mr. Cleaver. Following the address of Mr. Cleaver Mr. Golding explained that the reason no association meeting had been held last year was because of the unsettled state of affairs. In standing by the Liberal Government under Prime Minister Mackenzie King, the speaker said a certain grottg is urging a National Govern­ ment in Canada, “I Would like to ask, what a na­ tional government can do that the Liberal government has hot been do­ ing in Canada’s war effort. One between now and one real issue be- of Canada today carrying on of a jovern- that far, When power in of Canada must their share. to in We press our war helping the the speaker, doubt were thte response when soldiers and when drive for the Red there are 2 9 mem- were in Huron Old Boys Hold Anuual Meeting President For 1910 is j)r» J.

Many of them serving at a minimum of compensa­ tion. These men have been placed in important positions since the out­ break of the war, no matter what their political affiliations mi£ht be, and one can see that the government is interested in only one thing and that is the most successful prosecu­ tion of the war,” said Mr. Golding. As far as Mr. King is concerned there will be no profiteering and no excess profits out of this war. As an example of this we hdve the manner in which the shortage of sugar was handled. In Mr. King and Mr. Lapointe, Canada has men who provinces behind them, has been under unfair criticism re­ garding the stand Canada should take. People last year wanted to know where he stood. There was never any question as to where he stood and yet the press attacked him unfairly. Mr. King said that Parliament would be the matter dealt with, actly what happened, war business was thoroughly dealt with and then Parliament decided that Canada -would stand at the side of Great Britain and France, Replying to criticism about allow­ ances going to dependents of sol­ diers, Mr. Golding said the staff at Ottawa has been working at full speed and overtime, but it is hum­ anly impossible to deal with such a great number in a short time. Mr, Golding said he believes the intelli­ gent people of Canada can under­ stand such a situation existing. Dealing briefly with the record of the King administration, the Huron-Perth member spoke of the U. S. trade agreement which was put through shortly after the gov­ ernment went in in 19 35. This agreement had helped livestock and cattle trade to a great extent, he contended, reading statistics. The Dominion Government had gone to the aid of municipalities, thereby indirectly helping the unemployment situation, the Home Improvement Plan had been a success, bringing about a good deal of employment in the building trade. The Government had been interested in the youth of Canada, evidenced by youth training centres which had been established. The chief issue before the people of Canada, is whether or not they are satisfied with Canada’s war ef­ fort as handled by the Liberal Gov­ ernment. Mr. Golding presented numerous j statistics in which he claimed the King Government had been re­ sponsible for improving trade to a great extent and thereby helping every Canadian. He also contended that Canada’s financial had improved since the took the reins of power Bennett Government. In ing remarks, Mr. Golding fident the people of Canada, at a time like this will be doing the right thing at the polls and return the Liberal Government under Prime Minister Mackenzie King. The annual meeting of the Huron Old Roys’ Association was held on Friday evening last in the Y. M. C. /x.» Dovercojurt Road, with an at- tendance representing every section of the* old county. The popular president, H. M, Jackson, occupied the chair and very encouraging reports were read from the secretary-treasurer, audi­ tors, the latter showing a comfort­ able balance on hand, and on mo­ tion all reports were adopted. A motion, with a standing vote, was adopted, thanking the president for his splendid services during the year, also one of congratulations to Mr. J. A, McLaren on his golden wedding anniversary, The follow­ ing motion was passed; To Mr, J. A. McLaren. Moved by D. D. Wilson, seconded by Mr. G. F.

Mogg and Quinlan, recent Valuators of Huron County and Hullett Township as well the village of Blyth have secured the contract to equalize the united Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry of a figure close to 000,99. The same System, as used in the Huron county which is becoming ever more popular as the only cor­ rect method of equalization and which is already recognized by ten Counties in the province will be used. It is interesting to note that Cab­ by Wismer, veteran County Clerk of Lincoln Township, was the first to devise the System now being us­ ed by Messrs, Mogg and Quinlan. Messrs, Mogg and Quinlan are in this vicinity this week, working on the Hullett Equalization and get­ ting the new System installed.— Blyth Standard, Tk&te. id no crtfueft. toiacCD JUST LIKE OLD CHUM WINGER — REVINGTON A quiet wedding was solemnized at the United Church manse, Cot- tam, when Lena Velma, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin A.

Four years later—April 1880—the Bell Tele­ phone Company of Canada was formed. It was a new domain of public service but the Company’s founder, the late Charles Fleetford Sise, was confident that a painstaking, cour­ teous service, always improving as new appa­ ratus and new methods evolved, would in time develop into one of the major enterprises of Canada. He saw that telephone service was worth so much more than its cost to the user that the future of the business was assured. The principle that Bell embodied in his first crude telephone has persisted to this day. The principles of Charles Fleetford Sise for the conduct of a great public service are reflected in the continuous progress of the Company he founded. Within these sixty years the telephone has broken down the barriers of space and time and vastly promoted human understanding. In Canada the telephone is used more than in any other land.
