Earl Lawson, whose per­ sonal history is a poor-boy-lo-riches legend on Parliament' Hill, is now re­ ported to have an even chance with Hon, R. J. Manion to capture the leadership of the Conservative Party. To predict the result of the final bal­ lot is, of course, difficult. But as it now stands there are two factors that will play an important part in the convention. One is the unfortunate relationship between religion and pol­ itics—and as the situation is shaping up now, religion isz on the side of Earl Lawson, Joe Louis Won Fight In 2 Minutes The Brown Bomber came back— all the way back with an explosion that electrified the fight world and smashed Germany’s Max Schmeling into a helpless, sprawling figure of defeat in less than one round. Dusky Joe Louis waited two years to avenge the one add only defeat of his pro­ fessional career but then took little more than two minutes to achieve it under the Yankee Stadium’s flood­ lights with a devatating blast that produced the quickest ending in pug­ ilistic history to a world heavyweight championship match.

It would involve a voluntary surrender to the Government of securities held by wealthy citizens to the value of $200,- 000,000 for a period of 10 years, crea­ tion of $600,000,000 in new credit and currency and retirement of a large CONSULT The Hydro Shop I — For -— Hot Weather Comforts Offered Hotpoint Water Heaters, by General Electric, pro­ vide plenty of Hot Water with; minimum cost.

Acid Indigestion, Colds, Headaches, Bilious Attacks, Constipation OFTEN START THIS WAY Some people are what are known as acid-makers. They can’t help it—and often they don’t know it. The results of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trouble >— but they can’t be put right by ordinary stomach remedies! Excess acid may be the reason why you wake up flat, sour, bleary-eyed, bilious — and the reason why fierce purgatives only leave you in the grip of a weakening habit and the same old symptoms. But there’s one thing that acid can’t face. That’s the neutralizing power of Vange Salts, the alkaline remedy with the natural mineral spa action. A tea­ spoonful in warm water surges through your system just like the medicinal spring water far away in England where Vange Salts come from. Excess acid is neutralized quickly, painlessly. Your blood is purified of poisons. Your sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines is softened, gently, naturally, and passed out of your’ body. Then do you feel good! It’s marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Salts are only 60 cents a tin I At your drug­ gist now—but if you’re wise, on your bathroom shelf tonight I motor accident on highway 23 March 18 when Verne Abram, Ustowel, and Elwood Danbrouk, Atwood, were ser­ iously injured.

Crime "Finding articles on the street and not advertising to locate the owner is in itself a crime,” stated Magistrate F, ,W. Walker in weekly court at Wal­ kerton, as he passed suspended sent­ ence of one year upon a young Walk-, erton girl. The articles reported lost were buried in the garden at the fam­ ily home when officers investigated. The accused had been seen wearing one piece of the jewelry in a local church by the party who had lost it.

Ottawa to Decide on Quebec Padlock Law Quebec’s “padlock” law,"a provinc­ ial statute, but one of widespread out­ side repercussions, will be before the Dominion Government this week for consideration. However, as a decis­ ion does not need to be reached until July 8, announcement may be deferr­ ed till then. The question the Gov­ ernment has to decide is whether the prorogative ,of disallowance will be exercised, as in the case of several Al­ berta statutes, or whether, with no intervention, the discussed statute will be permitted to operate. 3 NEWS of the DISTRICT ® £ Fifty Years Married Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kirk, highly respected residents of Tuckersmith, observed the 50th anniversary of their marriage on Monday at their home.

The girl, only about 18 years old, had never been in trouble until involved in the serious case which developed here about two weeks ago.

A young Seaforth man was just about to enter his car when lie- heard a rustling noise near the car. A dog was apparently chasing a cat. Seeking to usher the dog away with the toe of his boot the young man was greatly surprised to find that lie missed the dog and hit the cat. But here’s the catch; it wasn’t a cat all, it was a skunk. The unfortunate young man has been receiving some good recipes to get the objectionable odor off his clothes and the car. The favourite recipe seems to be to bury the clothes in the ground for a while, but it would be some job to bury a whole car to get it off.
