Hens^ll town hMl Tast Wednes-. day, afternoon, did not give a very long acceptance speech, He was suffering from an at tack pf larpngifis. Since' that time he, has pre pared a thank-you statement which include some of Ihis views if elected to the Ontario Legis lature, Smith, is a retired Army Brigadier and now makes his„. / permanent home to Bayfield.-; It is anticipated a provincial election will be called durtpguj 1967, at which time Dr, Smith will oppose Hon. Charles 3- MacJiaug'htpn, tlie present Hu ron member Who, is the. PiQA yiiicial Treasurer. I ' Here is pri. Sniifh’s full state ment; “I wish to thank the electors pf the riding of Huron for having nominated me as the. Liberal candidate for the. forth coming Provincial election. For nty part I hope 'to place the issues before you, and' .pledge, if elected, to do my best for the improvement .of government in this* province and to rep resent the opinions' and needs of Huron County in the Legfis- , latere. v “In common with the rest. of Ontario, we in Huron^axe hav ing misgivings that; one party can control the progress, of our greatest province for a quarter of a' century, and effectively stifle ■ -alternative thought. This is. a sad reflecitioh.' oh the democratic process. We have accepted for tooi 'long’ the <>on- servative persuasion that they are ruling by a sort of per verted divine right. We have allowed them, by devious .means, to resurrect the old Tory Family Compact, although the power base seems to have shifted somewhat to the west of the .province. “Tlie, present Government has presided at a time of our great est expansion, and in a period of the most rapid material and social change that Canada has ever experienced. ’ This would, pose difficulties for any Govern ment, However, the tremendous forces of change that, have af fected our whole society, forces that were largely , forseen throughout the , world, have caught them unprepared.

For all the effect it had, one would think they had never heard of Atlantic Acceptance, or British Mort.ijage.. How that the -Prudential scandal has l>een. bared, and it “. has been shown that the assets were juggled to dupe the public, the Government pleads ignorance. How many years do they need to office to correct a .situation that has been dra^vn . to their attention so many times over lhe yeai*s? How long does the public have to wait for pro tection against fraud? Obvious ly, they subscribe to. the old adage “let the buyer beware-” “The Ontario Government has built a great empire to con trol Medicate. When we em barked . op this piogrammcj we knew it would bet costly, if only for the large increase in the peaurocracy for its administra tion. Mqreaver the large num ber of people noiw getting “free’,’ medical, care have to be subscribed by 'Someone. Never-, thpless the tremendous cost of this operation seems to have ’ escaped the Minister, Mr.. Dy- mo*nd, and he made the, very naive explanation, that hie did hot anticipate that the Doctors’ fees would rise One. would think that he w^s unaware, of the genetai increase in. wages and salaries across Canada—for all those on fixed incomes or such groups as the farmers, who are expected to" assist our welfare state by keeping down the cost of food, “It is ’ very disturbing, too, that the Conservative. Govern ment has done so little to assist in the great and growing res ponsibility, and fiddled with the regulations to garner more of the power in their own hands. This is a politically dangerous issue, and with their large ma jority in the house they can afford to disregard anyone Who opposes their actions - *‘A century ago the land tax was considered -sufficient to look after local needs, and this was to be shared 'by municipali ties and school boards. For tile past several years, land taxes have risen about, as high- as they can, and yet if all went to the school board or the munici pality, the needs of neither would be satisfied. Instead of facing the" problem, the Gov-4 ernment has so manipulated the. .grants and subsidies that local government is being controlled by money springs stretching out from “Queen’s Park. This, of course, is tax money, paid'out of a different pocket. The arrange ment suits the purpose of our family compact, since it gives them the power base with which* to stifle local initiative and independence. “In further communications I hope to let my thoughts abouir how our Provincial Govern ment should be run. I trust that T. may see as many of you as possible to .know'' your opinions and seek your advice. I believe that a representative should truly -reflect the requirements of his. community, in order to mould them into - the greater whole of the Provincial -scene. Do not hesitate to call me, at my home, or Write a letter. Already I am heartened to hear from a number of you by mail. Let us all try to make this-an Effective demonstration of the responsibilities of the elector ate to study the issues, and to come to our personal decisions at the polls.” « ’ ” WMS Synodical Meeting.

Winnipeg, with its western enthusiasm to high gear, is about to break into spring with a loud hurrah in preparation for the fifth Pan-American Games. The con tests will be held in that' city July 22 to August 7 with all’ the pomp and ceremony the city’s citizenry can .muster. For years our sports enthusi asts have been trying to sell Canada as an ideal location for the Olympics. Banff has been dramatically promoted as has Garabaldi Park in British Col umbia, It took a slim young man named Jim Daly and a contingent of Manitoba’s .pro vincial and civic officials to make a successful pitch for the Pan-Am Gamlets in Sao Paulo,- Brazil, back in 1963. At that time, delegates were impressed with the group’s de scription of facilities in the Winnipeg area. Thley offered a' first-class arena and stadium to match; excellent quarters for; ' athletes, and waterways for; aquatic sports. They knew they would need them/ for a full Pan-Am program calls for mote than 400 events in these activi ties:'track and field1, baseball,’ basketball, boxing, cycling, div ing, equestrian ■ events, field hockey, fencing, soccer, gym nastics, judo,' rowing^ rifle, pis tol and skeet shooting, speed and synchronized swlmmling, tennis, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting, wrestling and yachting... Municipality Will Gain Winnipeg stands to benefit not only from the influx of contestants and spectators, but the legacy- of the Pan-Am Games is a two million dollar swimming pool, two new stadi ums and improved facilities for tennis, shooting and rowing. One of the stadiums will be at the University ..of Manitoba and the second, nearby the existing sports complex,- for cycling and minor events., - Council has backed the games with money to cover the esti mated cost of three and a half million dollars. .Expenditures are being strictly controlled, and aided ‘by a battery of vol unteers numbering in the thou- ’ sands. Ultimate success of course will depend on “Mr. Citizen”, .his spouse, < the merchants and ithose supplying accommodation. Officials of the games want the eptire community to participate 'and; from early indications, this ’is a foregone conclusion. j •* It is said that Pan-Am Games . ’are .even bigger than the Olym pics. The. Winter .Olympics,'' which Canada has tried to woo, invites 32 countries to partici- jpate, The guest list nt Innlis- Ibruck in 1964 numbered 1,600. ■Th'irty-three countries are elig ible for the Pan-American 'Games and ft is said Winnipeg is already anticipating the in vasion of more than 3,500 ath letes. Organized in 1896, the Ol- ympics have gained prestige but. have had to contend with - political overtones; On the other hand; the Pan-Am Games have been remarkably free of any such burden since, they came into* being in Buenos Aires fif teen years ago.- ---------------oj-------------- : Clintan 4-H . Girls Met on Tuesday The sixth meeting of Clinton No*. 1 4-H girls was held at ; Faye Wilson's home on April 4. ! Minutes were read by Elizabeth Thompson.

The sta tistics for Scripture translation are as follows; The complete Bible published in 240 languages, an increase of three, over 1965; the New Testament published in 541 lan guages, an increase of seven; and at least one book of the Bible published! to 1,280 Ian-' guages, being an (increase.of 30. The complete Bible tils in the languages spoken by. 90 per cent of the people o>f the world and at least one book of the Bible in the languages spoken by 96 percent of the people of the world. While there are one thousand languages into which the Scriptures have not yet been translated these -are spok en by only 4 percent of the world’s population and in many cases when the people become literate it' will be in an area language. .. At present translation work is going forward in some 750 languages, 400 Of these being tribal languages. The British and Foreign Bible Society bias been responsible . for transla tions into nearly 900 languages and other Bible Societies,* such as the American Bible Society, have undertaken most of the others. -----------p----------- Cancer Research Most Important ' Research on the treatment „ cancer with tested and approv ed drugs is an important part of the program supported by the Canadian Cancer Society.

Here are a few of the high lights: ‘s Ingrid Bergman was named Best Actress to 1944? for “Gas light” and again' in 1956 for “Anastasia”. , Olivia de Havilland won the award in 1946 for “To His Own”, and again 'in for “The Heiress”. s In 1935 Bette Davis was selected for her role in “Dan gerous”, and in 1938 for “Jeze bel”.
