Councillor Thomson, Chairman of
the Street Committee, reported to the
Council at their meeting on Tuesday
night that the Towland Construction
company had been given the contract
to resurface Josephine Street. This
will be a .bituminous finish and will,
extend from the bridge at the south
end of the town to the “B” line. It
will take two weeks to complete the
job and 3,000 tons of material will
be used to fill the contract. The
work will commence Monday next.
Coun. Thomson also reported that
a 10-inch drain had been built from
the Gurney .Block basement to stop
future flooding. He recommended’
that before the new surface is placed
on Main Street that a 20-inch tile be
placed from Merkley’s corner across
the street to the Supertest station
side. At some future time this could
be then extended to the river.

Rev, Alexander Torrie, B.A., com
menced his evangelistic campaign in
the Wnigham Baptist Church last
Sunday and will continue every night
until Sunday, September 26th. Evan
gelist Torrie has been Canada’s pre
mier evangelist for more than twen
ty-five years and' at the present time
he occupies the unique position of be
ing Canada’s only evangelist. There
is a dearth of evangelists in these
days and with 'this dearth of evang
elists there is an increasing lack of
interest in the work and worship of
our Churches. The need of revival
has never been greater than it is to
day.
The theme of Evangelist Torrie’s.
sermon on Sunday morning was “The
Need of Revival and the Revival We
Need.” On Sunday night he chose as
his subject, “A Thrilling Story of
What One Woman Did.” These mes
sages-, carried an unusual spiritual
glow and were delivered with proph
etic courage and with a burning
heart.
Three daily pray-meetings are be
ing conducted in different parts of

Club Annual Clinic To Be
Held at Seaforth
A report was circulated on Monday
that'there was a case of infantile par
alysis in town. We are greatly pleas
ed’ to report that such is not the case.
Cecil Yoe was ill and this started the
rumor* but Dr, Stewart, Medical Of
ficer of Health, has reported no case
of infantile paralysis in town.
There are three cases of paralysis
in East Wawanosh. The latest case
to develop was reported on Monday
when Margaret Nesbitt of Auburn,
who was visiting at the home of John
W. Mason, on the 6th, was taken ill.
Harold Kellough, 8 years old, about
1% miles north of Auburn, and Ed
ward McGill, are the other two cases.
They are both making a splendid re
covery. Schools No. 16, 3 and Scott’s
school on the 6th in East Wawanosh
are closed by order of Dr. R. C. Red-
mand, M.O.H., and will remain clos
ed until danger or other causes in
these districts is past.
Two cases are Reported’ in Howick,
one at Gorrie which developed Mon

T. Thomson, of town, was mentioned
as candidate and on Monday iMr.
Thomson told the Advance-Times he
was definitely in the field as an In
dependent Liberal. Monday Mr. T.
J. McLean, of town, said he would
be an Independent candidate but
qualified this statement by saying he
would on Wednesday know for sure.
It now looks as if there will be
four .names on the ballot in Huron-
Bruce. Charles A. Robertson, Liber
al, who was member for Huron-Bruce
in the last Legislature, and who for
eleven years has been our represent
ative in the Ontario House, was the
choice of the Liberal Convention
here recently by'a very large major
ity. In his last election Mr. Robert
son had a majority of 4,602. The
Conservatives have as their standard-
bearer W. H. Logan, of Teeswater.
He was chosen at the Conservative
convention here by a large majority.
Mr. Logan is running on a dry ticket,
‘he stated at the convention that this
would be one of th& main planks in
his platform. Mr. Robertson has al
ways been known as a temperance
man and lie said at the convention he
was heartily in accord with Hepburn
and that Mr. Hepburn should be re
turned to power as he had more than
kept his promises and his financial
l record is the best Ontario Jias
in many years.
Mr. Thomson in speaking to
Advance-Times, said he was in
field as aii Independent Liberal
that he felt that the Hepburn Gov
ernment had given good administra
tion. I have been a life-long Liberal,
he said, but I feel that this riding
would not be properly represented by
either of the other candidates. Mr.
Thomson has been a life-long resi
dent of Huron. He first saw the light
of d'ay in McKillop but for 55 years
has been a resident of this district.
He has farmed in Turnberry and
Wawanosh and for five yiprs oper
ated a store at Belmore. For 15 years
he was a salesman for Gunns Ltd.,
and since 1930 has conducted the
Bluevale and Wingham Creameries.
T. J.# McLean is also a Huron pro
duct. He was born near Auburn and
was raised in Lower Wingham. Fie
has been a resident of Wingham since
his early childhood and his hobby
has been keeping track of the histor
ical events of the town and district.
For many years he has meen in the
contracting business, his most recent
operations being the grading work
on Highway No. 4, north and south
of Wingham.
“Tom,” as he is known to all, says
that both parties in Huron-Bruce are
fighting the election on petty issues.
He has been a strong Conservative
all his life but says he will be an In
dependent candidate. Mr. McLean
says the licensed bar rooms were bet
ter than the system of beverage
rooms where people have to sit down
to drink. The present system, he
said, was a farce.

South Huron May Change
(Goderich Signal)
The temperance organization of the
riding has endorsed the position of
Dr. R. H. Taylor, the Conservative
candidate in South Huron, on the li
quor issue. Mr.- Baliantyne, although
invited to state his position, did not
do so. The result may be, if tem
perance voters are satisfied with Dr,
Taylor’s record and convinced of his
sincerity, the transference of a con
siderable number of votes from the
Liberal to . the Conservative candi
date. What effect this will have Oh
election day remains to be seen, but
at any rate it renders the return of
Mr. BaHahtyne uncertain, in spite of
his majority of over 2,000 in 1934.
On Wednesday afternoon, sixteen
members of the Wingham Institute
