Here’s hoping for better road conditions. KIRKTON Liberal Candidate for the constituency of Huron- Perth, who solicits your support on a policy of care­ ful and efficient management of our war effort through the elimination of all patronage and profit­ eering. A policy of economy in administration; a policy opposed to tariffs which hinder and hamper trade; a policy that recognizes the necessity of leg­ islating in the interest of our basic industries, such as farming, fishing, mining and lumbering, which, of course, are the very life blood of our country. Inserted by the Huron-Perth Liberal Association The Kirkton Women’s Institute held their annual St. Patrick’s con­ cert in the Aberdeen Hall, Friday, March 15. Miss Margaret Jaques, of Usborne, spent the past week with her sister Mrs. W. Moor. Rev. Mrs. C. L. James and little daughter returned home from Vic­ toria Hospital, London on Monday. Mr. Geo. Kemp and family were Sunday guests with Mrs. J. Kemp. Hold Presentation Some 150 neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Francis met in Aberdeen Hall on Tuesday night and presented them with a well worded address and two chairs. The address was read by Mr. Case Allen and Allan Fletcher presented the gifts. The evening was spent in dancing. A large number of ladies from the United Church met at the church Tuesday and quilted four quilts to be disposed of in the near future. We are glad to report that Mr. C. Duffield, our local barber, is much improved after his recent illness.' Her Papa: you think for ing to marry Her Caller: me out of this jam, I’m your friend for life.” ‘‘Young mail, don’t a minute you are go- my daughter.” “Fine! If you can get Shall I Vote for KINS or MANION? There is only one decision to be made by the Canadian people on March 26th . . . It is this: Shall our country’s war effort be handed over to unknown, unnamed politicians ♦.. to a make­ shift cabinet with Dr. Manion as the self-appointed leader? Or . . . Shall our country’s war effort be continued vigorously and faithfully by the known and proven administration of Mackenzie King? That is the question YOU must answer. Up a Blind Alley?-or-Out in the Open! It is time for plain speaking. Dr. Manion’s pretence of offering “national” government is sheer polit­ ical deceit, Because: even if he were elected to office, Dr. Manion could not organize or lead a truly national gov­ ernment. The parliamentary group which might follow him would fail to represent all Canada, It would not represent the people of the national Liberal party. It Would not represent the people of the C.C.F. party. It would not represent the people of the historic Conservative party which Dr. Manion has now scuttled. Do not be deceived I Dr, Manion cannot give you National Government. The best he might give you would be government by unknown followers. He invites you to follow him up a blind alley—to vote for a government of his own imagination—answerable to some undisclosed political group. Mackenzie King offers you something entirely in the open . ♦. the most truly National government Canada has ever known. His parliamentary followers represent the people of every province in Canada — every section of our country—every economic, social and racial group. There is not an area of this country... not a single classification of our people ...without proper repre­ sentation in the Mackenzie King following. Mackenzie King’s cabinet ministers are well known to you. They are broadly experienced men, eager and able to continue the sort of admin­ istration which brought progress to Canada in times of peace and national pride to Canadians since the outbreak of war. ....... ...... , 4' The Mackenzie King administration is answerable to the people of Canada —to no one else. The Responsibility is Now Yours Canada is facing the greatest crisis in her history. It is YOUR responsibility to say how she is to deal with this crisis. Therefore: when you go to the polls On March 26th you should consider only what is best for Canada — what is best for the Empire and our allies —what is the sure, direct road to Victory and Peace.

Organized 51 Years Ago in Exeter Paper by Miss Hartnell at Jubilee Celebration It was a joint organization* members from both churches, proceedings-were in charge of Jasper Wilson, of Main Street Rev. B. Clement of James St. The National Liberal Federation of Canada, Ottawa* Ontario. The Exeter Auxiliary of the Meth­ odist Missionary Society was organ­ ized in James St. church, March 6, 1889 exactly 51 years ago this ev­ ening, with The Rev. and 2'9 members were enrolled. The fol­ lowing officers were elected by bal­ lot: President, Miss Freeman (who was a sister of Mrs. Clement and lived at the parsonage); Vice- president, Mrs. Jasper Wilson (Iji the membership list of the following year there is the name of her dau­ ghter Miss Grace Wilson, now Mrs. Eedy); Recording Secretary, Miss Lizzie Verity (afterward Mrs. Robt. Pickard); Cor. Sec., Mrs. Nelson Hooper; Treasurer, Mrs. John Trick; A board of management was also 'appointed consisted of Mrs. James Pickard, Mrs. Richard Pickard, Mrs. Clement, Mrs. Currelly, Mrs. David Johns. It was decided at this time to hold the regular meeting on the second Thursday.of each month, a date which has been adhered to ever since. Of the charter mem­ bers only one remains with us, Mrs. E, A. Follick. The first regular meeting was held in Main Street church on March 14th. 26 members were pres­ ent and over $22.00 was contribut­ ed. Miss Julia Spicer was chosen as canvasser for the Missionary Out­ look as the W. M. S. paper was then called. The meetings were held alternately in the two churches for a while. But soon they met in the homes of the members quite fre­ quently. Quarterly teas were held as a means of raising money. $62.83 was raised the first year and $115. the second, Mrs. Currelly, a Main Street lady was the second president and two minister's wives, Mrs. A. L. Russell and Mrs. George Jackson, followed. Mrs. W. G. Bissett was elected in 1896 and Mrs. C. W. Brown, wife of the pastor of James Street church was next. In 1900 the ladies of Main Street withdrew their names and formed a sister Society in their Own church. Mrs. Cobbledick fol­ lowed Mrs. Brown as president and Mrs. Bissett held the offjee from 190'3 to 1909. The first Mission Band was formed in 1908 with Mrs. S. M. next Mis­ Mrs, took lived up to ever since, though of course the person el kept changing. Mrs. C. F. Hooper was elected in 1911 and in that year the London Conference Branch Convention was held in this church. In 1912 the first Baby Band was formed. lit was called in those days the pretty name ‘The Light Bearei's’. In 1914 the silver anniversary was celebrated by a successful sup­ per. In 1916 Mrs. J. D. Kestle be­ came president and held that office until 1922. In 1919 thei'e were 115 names on the roll. The next president was Mrs. Mantle, who is still an active mem­ ber. In 19 25 Mrs. Hooper again was appointed and in April 19 26 the society wds reorganized as an Auxil­ iary of the United Church of Can­ ada. In 1927 Mrs. J. S. Grant be­ came president followed by Mrs. McTavish, wife of the pastor. 192>8 Presbyterial Convention was held in this church. In that year $527.99 was sent to the Presbyterial treasur­ er, the largest amount ever record­ ed for any year. Mrs. C. W. Christie was the de­ voted and efficient president from 1930 to 1935. The 45th Anniversary was celebrated in 193 4 by a union meeting with Main Street ladies, special Sunday services and a sup­ per after which the Mission Circle gave a program and presented the Auxiliary with a birthday cake dec­ orated with forty-five candles.. In 1935 the uated into an still retaining Workers” and of bales were packed and shipped. Banquet's, suppers, and socials, teas and cooking sales follow one .an­ other in constant succession. Lec­ tures and entertainments brought their quota to the funds. Many in­ genious ways of raising money are recorded. We read of a gospel ship, holiday calendars, sunshine bags, birthday boxes and travelling bas­ kets. By all these means in addi­ tion to the regular givings of the members and friends thousands of dollars have been raised. All this has meant sacrifice and hard work. But if tonight the results could pass before us, we would see the hungry fed, the destitute clothed, the sick healed, the ignorant taught, the downtrodden uplifted and best of all, the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed to those less privileged than we are and bringing light and salvation to them. On this occasion of the Golden Jubilee James Street Auxiliary abundant reason to thank God take and re- of courage. 50 YEARS AGO March 20, 1890 meeting was has and Mr. Case Howard of the Molsons Band is having his holidays Mr, Chas.

This brings the record to the present with Mrs. Page as president ’ in itself a guarantee off success.
