He stressed the fact that not one member ‘ of the Liberal party in the House was in favor of the.amalgama­ tion of the railroads. He scored Dr. Manion, leader of the National Con­ servative party, for diis advocating of Youth Camps. The only camps I fav­ or, he said, are those that teach the youth a trade so that they may take their place in industry when fit to do so. The Liberal party, he said, does not fear an election, they will have as large or larger representation than before, he said.

Postpone Opening Lucknow Post Office The official opening of the Luck­ now Post Office which was scheduled for Thursday last week, has been postponed until Thursday, June 29th, at 2,-Sp, o’clock. The illness of Mrs. McLarty, wife of the Posttnaster-Gen- etal who was to be;present,-to speak and officially open the building, is- the reason of the postponement. The United Church was attended by a very large congregation Sunday morning when the members .of Wing­ ham Legion, the 99th Wingham Bat­ tery and town officials, paraded to the United Church, headed by the Wingham Citizens’ Band. The Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Legion were also present in a body. The service which was held under the auspices of Wing­ ham Post 180 of the Canadian Leg­ ion, B.E.S.L., was in cojnmemoration of the signing of the Magna Charta which was signed 724 years ago. Rev. J. F. Anderson, Minister of the Church, who is also Legion Chap­ lain, chose for the subject of his ad­ dress “Stand Fast for Freedom.” His text was Galatians, 5th chapter, verse 1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Mr. Anderson stressed the fact that in totalitarian countries the Christian religion had received a great set-back. In the coun­ tries where the people get away from God they lost their liberties, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free­ dom of religion, freedom of action. The source of freedom, he said, is in Christ, and we must safeguard this freedom or wc will lose it. A baptismal service was held, two children being baptised, Lloyd Henry Wheeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wheeler, and Clara Ann Taylor, dau­ ghter of Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor. Flowers on the-altar were in mem­ ory of the late Gerry Willis and the late W. A. Currie.

The Aux­ iliary colors were presented by Com­ rade Mrs. Harry Browne and the Leg­ ion colors by Comrade Percy Harris. “O God of Love” was a solo beau­ tifully rendered by Mr. Jack Reavie.

Supper was served on the lawn after which games and music were enjoyed, Pl^yedsFor The King j Fryfogle of New York, of Mrs. had the play for on their His GREAT EXCITEMENT NOW IMPENDS CANDIDATES IN NEED OF FRIENDS AS HECTIC PAPER CAMPAIGN ENDS Eight gloriously hectic weeks for campaign candidates comes to a close on next Saturday night, June 24, at 9 o’clock. Votes may be deposited in the sealed ballot box up until the last minute of the hour, but not under any cric-umstances can any be accepted af­ ter the stroke of nine. The ballot box will then be opened by the board of judges appointed for that purpose and the final result will be announced by them after a complete accounting has been made. Congratulations are extended by the Advance-Times to all candidates, for the race has been a close one, and at this writing the . automobile being awarded as first prize is still any­ body’s car, The remaining three days of the campaign is probably the most cruc­ ial time. For, candidates never being told theii' exact vote standing, quite often erroneously assume that they held their relative positions by a .safe margin. The fact may be that only a trifling, number of votes separates any two candidates. Over confidence will play its part this week and it is a fore­ gone conclusion that some candidates will be victimized by their own errors in this. • Last minute instructions are being issued to all candidates. The principal change in procedure during the final three days is the fact that each candi­ date’s repo'rt must be placed in a seal- ed envelope with the name of the can­ didate written plainly on the face of the envelope. Each envelope must contain the subscription receipts as well as the exact amount of remit­ tance to cover, in the form of cash, postal note, money order or certified cheques. Whether any uncertified cheques can be accepted is left to the discretion of the campaign manager. It is to insure absolute fairness and to preclude the remotest possibility of information leaking regarding candi­ date standing that the sealed ballot box will be in effect at the close of the campaign. • The management of the Dominion Bank has very graciously consented to the ballot box being left in their care. It could not, of course, be in better hands. Candidates and their friends will have ready access to the ballot box during regular banking hours on. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Saturday evening from six p.m. until the campaign closes bank officials have most magnamiously offered to leave their bank premises open for the benefit of candidates and their friends. Your favorite candidate needs your assistance during the next few days as he or she has never needed it be­ fore and will probably never need it again. That candidate is now appeal­ ing to you to co-operate and help achieve the biggest ambition of his or her life up to now. LEGION ZONE MEETING FRIDAY Major Kenneth Weaver has an­ nounced that the annual Legion Zone meeting for this district will be held in the Armouries here at 8 p.m. on Friday this week, June 23rd.
