■Seventy-five years ago
summer the old building to
north was built for purely Public
School purposes, and it served
well for those days. Forty years
later alterations1 were made to
the building to house a few High
School classes. Twenty years ago
an addition of two rooms was
built, d’he need of more accom
modation was still apparent,
since the attendance of students
was still increasing, so in '1938
what was expected to be the nuc
leus of a new High School was
constructed with four class-)
rooms. The Second World War
came soon after, and nothing
could be done to complete the
building.
Early in 19 46 the idea of
District High Schools was pre
posed for the County of Huron.
In September of that year a
system of bus service for the
rural districts was instituted,
and in January of 1947 the old

What a show!
Planes, people, and heat. That
is a short summary of Air Force
Day at Centralia, Saturday.
Planes taxiing, whistling, roar
ing, looping, diving, rolling,
spelling, doing just about every
thing under the sun, and that’s
not just an old hackneyed ex
pression either, because by the
feel of it, even old man sol him
self was out to see the show.
Canada's busiest station —
Centralia—put on a red hot
show for the public, literally and
figuratively. Every time you
turned to see some exhibition
you missed about three others,
and every time you wiped away
one drop of sweat from your
forehead you felt three more
forming from the heat of your
handkerchief.
People—egad, man—it waS a
politician’s paradise. The whole
famn damtly was
howling little ones to amazed
pensioners. And they certainly
weren’t disappointed.
Cars were lined up in the
parking lot like people at a
world series baseball game—
they looked dike the storage lot
of a variety automobile factory
that hadn’t sold a Car in twenty-
five years.
Right after Wing Commander
W. F. M. Newson Welcomed the
crowd that was well on the way
to reaching 20,0’0'0, the works
started. Four R.C.A.F, Squadrons
marched past the saluting base

tons dressed in their

The float parade had

to an old imitation of the first
Wright Brothers’ double-winged
airplane mounted on two bi
cycles. There were even unfash
ionable R.C.A.F. “ladies” dressed
in 'two-piece bathing suits with
added equipment. One old rep
lica on .wheels carried lavatory
equipment with a big sign “Curb
Service 25 cents”. Other floats
had aircraft frames and big box

affairs with more signs than an
old-fashioned general store.
And then the planes began to
fly. Harvards, Beachcrafts, Dak
otas, even a Lancaster, Mustang,
Vampire jet and a sailplane.
They flew past the station in all
kinds o f formations, performed
all kinds of stunts, and dropped
supplies by .parachute. The .most
impressive scene of the whole
afternoon was the formation of

The three party candidates
fox' Huron-Perth were officially
nominated Monday afternoon at
Hensail Town Hall.
Filing then’ nomination papers
with J, M. Southcottj returning
officer for the riding, were:
Elgin McKinley, R.R, 1, Zurich,
JaxTner; Andrew Y. McLean, Sea
forth, editor; and John Robert
Peters, R.R. 1, Seaforth, clergy
man.
The three candidates addressed
a small crowd at the hall.
Andrew McLean said the
“Liberal government has given
strong recognition of the im
portance which agriculture holds
.in the Dominion” and that this
fact was evident by the prices
which the farmer had received. •
“As a result, agriculture has
been and continues to be in a *
period of prosperity.” At the
same time, the Liberal candidate
said, the government had pre
vented the spirelling of inflation
of prices.
Mr. McLean said there were
more jobs in Canada than has
ever previously existed. There
had been increased production
all across the board... “The Lib
eral policies are based on equal
appeal by the government, ex
emplified by social legislation
introduced by the government in
cluding family allowances and
old-age pensions..
The P.C. candidate, -Elgin Mc
Kinley, said “It is time for a.
change of government for the
sake of the public at large, and
there is a strong alternative to
the government in Ottawa in
t h.e Progressive Conservative
party.”
The Liberal party is taking
credit for high prices, but it is
the condition of the times which*
is responsible for these prices.
The Liberal party had not kept
prices up but kept them down.
Attacking the trade situation,
Mr. McKinley noted that Trade
Minister Howe had glibly passed
off the. question of slipping
agreements in Canada saying
that the state of trade with Eng-
land was normal, but when he
went to England he told repor
ters he had to get more agree
ments.
A Progressive Conservative
government will give old age
pensions at sixty-five without a
means test, he said.
Rev. J. R. Peters stated that
it “is not from the economic or
political side but rather from the
humanitarian angle” that he
had entered the campaign. He
said the two old parties opposed
the C.C.F. not because they were
afraid of losing free enterprise
but of losing free exploitation.
He attacked the development
of iron in Labrador, the sale of
fertilizer plants to American
capitalists, and defended his
party against attacks of com
munism.
Mr. McLean, in his rebuttal,
said« prices under the „
ment had neither been too high
or too low. Under a C.OF.
ministration “people work
the government instead of the
government working for the
pie,” lie said.
