When they return, let’s give them a great welcome! The answer is plenty! Here are some of the things anyone can do. The suggestions come from a well-known Ontario hotelman: Crowd Ignores Downpour as Premier George Drew Speaks at Goderich 2,000 Attend Tri-County •’There are threats that can be met only through political organ ization and activity?’ said Premier George Drew, speaking at Harbor Park, Goderich, Wednesday after noon of last who stood in him. ‘•You may tion to such and Joe Stalin,” the Premier said, “But these men were trained in the school of political warfare in Mos- sow and cow; they were trained to seeds of hatred and. distrust discontent among Canadians. “Let’s remember/’ he went “that there are a lot of fellow-trav elers; let us organize for freedom through political activity; that is what our party stands for. What is needed is that we work together as free people, exchanging ideas, even if we are of different parties.” Crowd Disregards Rain Rain that began at noon and creased in intensity as the after noon went on was not allowed to interfere with the program of the picnic which brought together Pro gressive Conservatives of Huron, Perth, and Bruce counties, A pro gram of sports and races was car ried out while the skies drizzled; the rain fell more heavily as the speech-making began; and the Pre mier, last speaker on the list, cut his address to 20 minutes, although the crowd stood good-humoredly in the rain to hear him. “I am glad to know,” remarked the Premier, “that the rain itself is welcomed. While I do not claim to have brought it with me, I do know that it has been a dry season.” Referring briefly to the break down of the Dominion-Provincial conference he declared; “We want this province to unite with all the other provinces in building a really great nation. At the same time, in putting our shoulder to the wheel with the rest of the provinces, we Know the places of interest and beauty spots in your district and tell people about them. When you write your friends in the States tell them about some of the places they would enjoy visiting. Try to make any visitor glad he came.

We need vig orous political organizations.” “The happiest part of my visit here this afternoon," Premier Drew remarked, “is to see my old friend Hobbs Taylor (Dr. R. Hobbs Tay lor,, M.P.P. for Huron) standing in goon health among you.” On the platform with the Pre mier were .Mrs. Drew; William Murdoch, M.P. for Essex South, and Mrs. -Murdoch; Dr. R.

Bradshaw, L. E. Cardiff, and A. E. Robinson of Bruce. “Be sure you send them back to us at the next el ection; we need them," When legislation favoring*' the Western Canadian farmer was be fore the house recently, said Mr, MacDonnell, Mr. Cardiff was on his feet to point out that the Ontario farmer works twice as hard as the Western farmer, because he works 12 months a year instead of six. Hanshard shows, said Mir. -Mac- Donnell, that Mr. Bradshaw has been alert to protect the interests of farmers’ mutual fire companies, during debate on taxa tion changes. “I grieve to tell you,” MacDonnell, ic for the Opposition, that Mr. Bradshaw had to ‘ set the Minister of Finance right, because the Min ister of ’Finance had some cock eyed ideas about how; much it was going to cost you, and^cost fanners, because of this change in taxation." The Progressive Conservative party is well prepared, Mr. Mac Donnell declared, for the approach ing by-election in Portage la Prairie, didate, and we intend had a‘good convention in the spring, and the has been reorganized.” Ready To Take Over The Progressive Conservative party has men ready now, he said, to form than the men now ment today,”'lie said, __ ___ .. weak, but sometimes I think it is disintegrating.” “Gordon Graydon," he comment ed, “is easily the most popular fel low in the House of Commons. He has a genius for getting along with people. I’ll prove that to you—a man in the Department of External Affairs told me that Gordon Gray don could even get along with the Russians, those strange people that we must somehow, learn to under stand." Commenting on the turnout of an estimated 200 0 people at the three- county picnic, Frank. Donnelly, K. C., of Goderich, said: “It shows the enthusiasm and the interest which the people of these three counties are taking in the affairs of state . . . We needed rain bad ly; Premier Drew came, and he brought rain.” “I’m glad to see,” -Mr. Donnelly remarked, “that there is a very good sprinkling here of members of other parties.” Official Welcomes Official Welcomes were extended from the speaker’s platform in Harbor Park, by Mayor D.
