Two- Blyth Ladies Injured
When a car hit an 1,100-pound
steer two miles east of Clinton on
Monday the animal was killed and
two Blyth girls, Miss Patsy Wilford
and Miss Ida McGowan, were cut
about the head and face by flying
glass. The driver of the car, Gordon
Ross, of near Blyth, reported to Traf
fic Officer N. Lever, that the steer
jumped from a ditch directly into liis
path. The animal was hit amidships
and was almost instantly killed. The
car was turned right about face by
the impact and then backed 115 feet
before being brought to a halt. Fred
Cook, of near Holmesville, owned
the steer but it escaped through a
fence from the farm of Robt. Richard.
Sweeping the Huron-Bruce Con
servative nominating convention held
in the Town Hall here on Thursday
evening, W. H. Logan, of Teeswater,
Was chosqn on the first ballot oyer
Mayor John W. Hanna of town, W.
Cecil Knox of Toronto, a former
Winghamife, and Foster Moffatt, of
Kinloss, who carried the Conserv
ative banner in the election of June
1934. The hall was filled to capacity.
Prior to the convention Mr, Log
an’s name was but little mentioned
as a candidate but as so often hap
pens he came through as the “dark
horse” of the convention.
Mr. Logan, prior to his selection,
took a definite stand against beer par
lours. He said he was a “teetotler”
and that Liquor Control was 100%
better than the beverage rooms of to
day. Beverage rooms, he said, must
be wiped out of our land.
Born in Huron Township
Mr. Logan was born in Huron
Township, Bruce County, and has
been a resident of Bruce all his life
except for short periods spent in To
ronto and London. He at present is
engaged in the real estate, insurance
business in Teeswater. It is time for
a change, he said and felt that Hur
on-Bruce would elect a conservative
if those present would co-operate
with the candidate.
Following his choice as candidate
Mr. Logan repeated his stand on the
beer parlours and said the abolishing
of them would be one of the main
planks in his platform because it had
been his stand through life. He ask
ed “Why should Huron have bever
age rooms? HepbuunJias, made a big
surplus from beer,” he said.
'He called attention to the fact that
farm loans had been cut off by Hep
burn and suggested that such loans
be made in a similar^way to the
Home Improvement Plan. He crit
icised the cutting of the school
grants. Schools should be free, he
said. Governments should maintain

Citron Nearly ’Year Old
Mr. Harold Casemore, 10fh con
cession of Turnberry, has a method
of keeping citrons in a good state of
preservation for a long time. Proof
that such is the case is a citron that
is on display in. our window that was
harvested -..toward the end of Septem
ber last year. The color has faded
somewhat but otherwise it appears to
be in as good condition as when it
was c-ut from the vine. The citron
on display is one of three that were
harvested last year and all are in
good shape. Mr. Casemore informs
us that he has on other occasions
kept citrons for similar periods.

Thursday’s Storm
Thursday’s storm here did not do
much damage compared with the des
truction that took place in many sec
