A birthday thought:
"It is Canada's strength that she is the
only nation where Latin and Anglo-Celtic peoples
Ilye in an equal partnership, and where also mil-
lions of men and women from other countries
have received the privileges and accepted the
duties of a citizen, We have two national languages,
two national cultures and this enriches our life
as we learn to use each other's speech, But this is
not enough, Canada has two languages, she has
two minds and two hearts. We must know each
other, we must feel with each other. This task to
which we are called is not easy, No man of good
will dare neglect it."---Bight Hon, Vincent Massey.
Tribute to service
One of our contemporaries in Huron riding
has suggested that it is not profitable for anyone
to run on the Grit ticket . . "there are just. more
Conservatives".
We think this suggestion casts some dispar-
agement on the PC candidate Elston Cardiff and,
indeed, upon the Liberals themselves.
First of all, Elston Cardiff's victory is not
attributable solely to a majority of Conservative
electors in the riding, At least some of his sup--
porters have voted Liberal in the past because
this riding has had Grit representation for many
years in both the federal and provincial houses,
Mr, Cardiff's victory, rather, is -a. tribute to
a man who has worked hard on behalf of his con-
stituents over the two decades he has sat in
parliament. He has given their individual prob-
lems his full attention, regardless of the political
leanings of the persons involved. Mr. Cardiff him-
self has often said: "I never asked a man what his
politics were when he asked me for help".
That same quality was evident in a former
federal representative for the old Huron-Perth
riding, the late William Golding. We interviewed
Mr. Golding in Ottawa after he had been named
to the senate and he told us at that time that this
type of representation had been his formula for
political success. "I tried to serve all of my con-
stltuents regardless of how they voted", he stated.
No, we don't believe it's strictly a case of
Huron being a Conservative riding. It's more than
that. Mr. Cardiff's re-election is an expression of
app' -!ciation for the work he has done on behalf
of Huron families, He may not shine at oratory
or make fiery debate in parliament but he does
attend to his duties and he does maintain close
contact with his constitutents. People like that kind
of service.
Coming up, dead ahead, is
just abouth the biggest weekend
of the Near for Canadians, It
has an exhilaration that no
other weekend on our calendar
produces. Hearts are light and
gay because it's the real ad-
vent ,of summer.

Important bylaw
From the attendance at the public hearing
On the proposed zoning bylaw for Exeter, it would
appear that few property owners are aware of the
multitude of restrictions incorporated in such leg-
islation.
The zoning bylaw means, in effect, that you
must conform to regulations when you use land or
erect buildings ill the town of Exeter.
if your property is in the residential zone
for example, you can't erect a shop Or a store on
it. 'You can't buy a house in that area and turn it
into a business enterprise,
If you have a house in the commercial zone
(and there are some streets formerly considered
residential in such a zones, a store may be erected
beside you or a parking lot established nearby,
You will be able to use your house as such for as
long as you wish, but you won't be allowed to
enlarge it or to build another house on the pro-
perty beside it, if you happen to have a particular-
ly big lot.
if some of the property you own happens
to be in the development zone, no building of any
kind can be erected on it, nor can it be used for
any activity except farming.
When you go to build a house in the future,
you must have a certain lot size; your setback and
rear- and side-yard setbacks must conform to the
bylaw,
if you plan to erect a store in the near
future, then .you will be required to provide park-
ing spaces nearby for a certain number of cars
depending upon the size and nature of the busi-
ness.
These are just a few of the regulations.
They may sound like more government interfer-
ence, more government control, and in a sense
they are. But it's the type of control which should
work in the best interest of the public.
The zoning bylaw should help to preserve
and improve the value of most of the existing
properties in the town. It should encourage order-
ly and economical growth of the community.
As members of the board have pointed out,
they do not suggest that the regulations are per-
fect or permanent; they do, however, hope that
they are sufficiently realistic to proceed with the
establishment of the bylaw, which can he amend-
'ed to meet changing conditions in the future.
By calling the public hearing, the board at-
tempted to give the citizens an opportunity to
study the regulations and suggest any changes.
Few have taken advantage of that opportunity.
However, they will likely be given other chances
before the bylaw is passed. They should make an.
effort to determine how the regulations affect their
properties before the bylaw is passed,

1927.
On Saturday we drove to
Grand Bend by the way of
Woodham arid Crediton, wrote
Mr, Eedy, it is the shortest
route from St. Marys but not
the quickest. And we hadn't
travelled that way in many
years. Some old landmarks

that Crediton road.

late Principal Martin, of St,

of us St. Marys lads to the
Bend with a learn attached to
a democrat which he used in
his business of handling pianos,
It was a gay crowd and we en-
joyed the ride which took us
from five-thirty o'clock in the
morning until one o'clock in the
afternoon. You could go to Tor-

less time. But it was alright
with us. We have ne'ver had a
better time, before or since.

Grand Bend has grown tre-

most popular resorts on the
lakes. And why shouldn't it be?
There isn't a better beach for
summer cottages anywhere, it
is picturesquely dotted with oak,
white pine and juniper and is
in a mighty attractive corner of
the map. Throughout the de-
pression summer traffic at
Grand Bend was pretty well
maintained and we are informed
that there has been only a rare
tax sale in the village.
The old idea of clap board
summer cottages has long since
passed out, Of the several hund-
