Se^iaty-sixtU Year EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1949 C.C.F. Will Kill Liberals Case Warns At Zurich Garfield Case warned the Lib erals last week at Zurich that if they c oil tin u e to court the “devil” socialism, it ’will ruin them just like socialism ruined the Liberal party in England. The federal PC member from North Grey stated that iby align ing themselves with the C.C.F. ■by .being brakes on’t meat had become usurpers of the creed liberalism and were not playing fair with the rank , and file of the Liberal party, It was the opening barrage of political balls which will be tossed back and forth in Huron’s election campaign fox* the next six weeks. Mr. Case was speak ing on behalf of Elgin McKinley, the Progressive .Conservative can didate in Huron-Perth, at the Zurich Town Hall, which was well-filled fox’ the Friday night rally. “T h i s (Liberal) government has established bureaucracy by ruling through orders-in-council with complete disregard of the right of the House of Com mons.” They are trying to cling to power desperately by flirting with the C.C.F., “Canada's Comi cal Fellows”. The federal PC, whose Owen Sound by-election victory over Gen A. G. L. MacNaughtoxx came as a stunning blow eminent in 1945, Omnibus Bill of the meat as an example net’s bureaucracy. Fourteen dif ferent pieces of legislation, in cluding steel, rentals, lumber- and markets, were turned ovex- to this controlling group. “We asked them to break it -down to consider the individual parts,” Mr. Case said, but the govern ment wanted the bill passed .as a whole ox* not at all, and theii* backbenchers put it through. In this .bill the government has the right to nationalize the steel and lumber industries, and control the finances of the country. Mr. Case attacked the budget surplus of 1948 saying that a corporation would be jailed for planning such a profit. He said it was unlawful for a municipal government in Ontario to budget for a surplus because the obvious result would be to get rid of the money some way or “If the Liberals were they would go back ■ more.” The North Grey MP the decline in trade agreements under the government. Foui’ years ago the country had 140 trade agreements with the Unit ed Kingdom; now there are only three left. He quoted the Minis ter of Agriculture, Hon. James Gardiner, as saying in Saskat chewan that if the U.S. ever de clared a surplus of wheat the Canadian wheat economy would} collapse. This emphasized the fact that the Canadian economy depended solely upon the good will of United States and that our trade agreements were made in Washington, not Ottawa. “Never before in the history of Canada has a government in troduced a budget and ran away with it like the Liberal govern ment has done in hastily calling this election,” Mr. Case said, Debate on the budget lasted fox- two days and the opposition had even less time to look over the estimates. The Progressive Conservative policy on labour relation is to “challenge labour to share the problems of management and challenge management to share their profits with labour,” Mr. Case defied the C.O,F., who used the principle of class struggle, to support that clear thinking poli cy. Speaking of the party leader, George Drew, the speaker re ferred to his courage in breaking new ground with respect to leg islation in Ontario providing for one week’s holidays with pay for labour, the first of its kind in Canada, and the absorption of fifty per cent not only of the cost of education, but of the cost of building neW schools, a policy which, it Was prophesied at the time, could never be car ried out. Elgin McKinley said the time had come for a change—a change of government, for a change to a farmer representa tive in Huron-Perth, and for a change .to a man in Zurich stead of Seaforth. He stated Liberals were resigned to a duction of their majority were determined to keep reigns of government. That mean that St. Laurent will pend on the C.O.F. to keep in power, - C.C.F. tendencies. , Tom Pryde, M.L.A. for Huron, spoke on behalf of Mr. McKin ley. Referring to Prime Minister St. Laurent’s assertion that there is no issue in this election, Mr. Pryde asked “Then Why did he call an election in such a hur ry?” He said the issue was clearly that of the record of the government, Do the people want “socialists with the , the Liberal govern- to the gov- cited the last parlia- of the cabi- another, returned to get assailed orcabinet to rule the country do they want their representa tives in Ottawa to rule? “The Liberal government is away out of their depth altogether of the fundamental ment.” Elmer Bell was in charge of the meeting and C.

The London Free Pi’ess says the town of Exeter had better* ready itself for a shock, starting Wednesday. Th© Westener in question isn’t a “rootin’ tootin’” cowhand, but a chubby youngster by the name of David Altic, wh0 rides a pair* of roller skates like a .flying terror. And he is only nineteen months old. Davie, who has mastered the treacherous art of roller skating at an age when most children are just starting to get .theii’ “land legs" has been a fanxiliai’ sight along London’s Burwell street during the past three weeks. He’s the child prodigy of the street and the neighbors form an attentive audience whenever h e chugs along the sidewalk. Wednesday he will make hjs debut exits, Altic, town. Young Davie apparently lierlted his desire for speed the wide open spaces from his father w ho is a native of Cal gary and a veteran of five years with the R.C.A.F. He started walking at the age of twelve months, mastered' that gentle art, and then looked fox* i something faster. Three weeks ago the land- 1 lady’s five-year-old d a u g h t e r donned her roller skates for the first time this spring. Davie, whose ability with the English language is somewhat limited, cried until his parents let him try on the roller spates. From that time on there was no stopping him. He took to rollers like the proverbial fish takes to water. His parents’ first problem was to buy him a pair of skates of his own. They had to get a, pair two sizes too big. Nineteen- month-old youngsters just aren’t supposed to roller skate. Once they had him on skates I their next problem was to get him off. He eats, sleeps and plays from morning to night with the skates On lxis feet. His parents can’t slow him down long enough to start him walking again.- Now 'they’re starting to worry about his future. They can skate better than walk. His mother considers is safex' oil roller skates liis feet. Not once has lie . ed or ‘bruised himself in a fall while skating. Admittedly he does fall down occasionally but always lands on his seat With the only damage inflicted on his pride.The other day during one Of the infrequent occasions when he was minus skates, lie fell and bruised his elbow.

Immediately following dinner, they were taken for a drive by Mr. and Mrs. William Pearce. On arriving home they were surprised to find some forty friends and relatives had arrived to offer tlxeir congratulations. The many beautiful gifts which they received attested to the es teem in which both are held. Seven persons who were present at the wedding fifty years ago were among the guests.

He has virtually abandoned baby carriage to which he clung during the novice stage, and yes terday he even completed a twirl when Lassie, the dog, accidently bumped against him.
