APPOI111,111erit of Huron .111PP C. S, Mae-
.Nauglion as Ontario minister of highways recent•
Met . with unanimous approval among Huron
eourity. weeklies.
Said the Zurich Citizens-News: "We hope
Charlie will be with us in Huron as our member'
of parliament and as minister of highways for a
longtime to come. When election time rolls around

MacNaughton to office for another term.
'Huron has good representation in Toronto, and
it would be a shame to ever lose him."
The Winghant Advance-Times: "Mr. Mae-
Naughton is 'comparatively young man, who has
already proven his ability in the world of business
as the head of a seed company in Exeter, which
be sold when he entered the field of polities.
During the , past summer he headed the Ontario
delegation to London, England, where Ontario
food products were displayed and sold. We have
heard from several government persons in Toron-
to that the mission was one of the most successful
ever undertaken and that the reputation of On-
tario anti its food products was enhanced tremend-
ously, not only by the exhibit at the show itself,
but equally by MacNaughton's genial person-
aliind reasonable attitude."
Z•16- "Charlie steps up again," said The Goderich
SAM-Star: "His genuine liking of people and his
eariaest desire to help them with their particular
pralems as best he can has added to that popu-
latgy. A down-to-earth understanding of the needs
ofahe people in his riding has helped him con-
sigrably along the political paths,"
And The Huron Expositor joined in: "Mr.
NacNa.ughton will bring to his task a good bust-
ness sense. As a member representing a predom-
irately rural riding, he will be in a position to
ii rpret the growing needs of rural Ontario. This
fa'c't was recognized by Premier Roberts, who said
t1- appointment reflected the importance with
which his administration regards the problems of
ti k province.''

Qcst- of focus?
All too often, our society allows basic
values to gat out of focus in our democratic
picture.
The recent conference in Landau of second-
ary school boards—designed specifically to organ-
ize a united front against rising teachers' salaries
is air example. So is the movement the confer-
ence is fighting--the teachers' ,organized demands,
The point is not that either of these de-
velopments is or has been wrong, It's jest that
never before, or for any other consideration,
have these groups been so concerned, it's as if
teachers' salaries is the only prime concern in
the whole field of education,
Teachers have never displayed sitell united
strength or such enthusiasm for improving the
standards of their profession, or the curriculum or
the educational system as they have about raising
their rates of pay, True, they have been making
attempts to better education but the efforts have
never been so wholehearted as that expended in
the direction of salary increases.
Boards, too, have had nice little discussions
year after year about providing better educational
services but rarely have they shown the dedica-
tion , or determination to accomplish any objective
as that which they are mustering to halt the
spiralling cost of teachers' salaries,
Some local observations may make our point
more clear. We've known boards to deliberate aL
considerable length over the best way to construct
a forge for the manual training room and, at the
same meeting, to dismiss within seconds a major
suggestion for the improvement of administration
which would affect the entire operation of the
school. At another meeting, trustees not only de-
cided the purchase of a wheelbarrow was neces-
sary, but also, after considerable discussion, agreed
it. should be a deluxe, rubber-tired, ball-bearing
type, after having turned down a request for text-
books for a class which didn't have enough to go
around.
Again, for the teachers' part, the only Lime
they deal directly with the board is during the
salary negotiation period, when they make their
recommendations for higher schedules, Never in
our knowledge has a teaching staff approached a
local board with suggestions for, the improvement
of the education provided for the students.
If both boards and teachers directed more
of their organized efforts toward the basic objec-
tive, the results could be gratifying.
And so it is
Kids can be humorously resourceful:
It happened Hallowe'en night when a group
of pre-teens were marvelling at the sight of a
brassiere flying from the top of the high school
flagpole.

have been killed. The truck driver, just getting
out of his cab, had the foresight to jump back
in for safety, or his life could have been taken.
Later, while investigation was underway, an-
other car came upon the scene too quickly anti
had to squeal to. a stop, sending policemen and
others running off the road for their lives,
it was Hallowe'en and all that, but you
can't mask such actions as pranks or hi-finks or
another term that might connotate some of the
"sick fun" indulged in by so-called revellers. For
the want of a better term. it's criminal irrespons-
ibility.

On Sunday, October 28, Main
Street 'United Church celebrated
the 67th anniversary of the pres-
ent church. It was, however,
the 107th .year since this church
had its beginning.
According to an article in The
Exeter Times-Advocate on No-
vember 20, 1930, on the occasion
of the diamond jubilee of the
church, the origin of the church
took place at Fairfield, _known
as the Wesleyan Methodist. Rev.
J. H. Chapman conducted the
first services. As the congrega-
tion grew the church was moved
to the hill in Exeter .west of the
Aux Satible bridge.
In 1869 the basement of the
present church on Main St, was
started and was used for wor-
ship. in 1872 the new church
was dedicated, The same year
Rev, William Lund succeeded
Mr. Chapman as pastor,
Among the supporters of the
new church were:. John Trick,
Dr. Winnin, W. 11. Verity, John
Renton, George Ranton, A. D,
'Freeman, Charles Southcote
Richard Seddon and Michael
Eacrett.
Among the early ministers
were: Rev. Mr. Clappison, Rev,
J, W. Holmes, who was the first
to occupy the Main Street par-
soilage; Rev. G. A. Mitchell,
Rev, G. N. A. F. T. Dickson,
Rev. Dr, Pascoe, -Rev. Jasper
Wilson, Rev. William -McDon-
ough.
It-was during the pastorate
of Rev, H. W. Locke in 1895
that the church was destroyed
by fire. Fourteen families, who
were not in favor of rebuilding
left the church. Among those
who decided to rebuild were
Dr. J. W. Browning, E. A. Fol.
lick, Henry Huston, John White,
W. limey, A. Holland, Adolphus
Hooper, Henry Hooper, Rich-
ard Gidley, Stephen Powell,
James Dignan, James Willis,
T. 11, McCallum and many
others.
The corner stones for the new
building were laid by Mrs. Caro-
line :Robley, Mrs. Anna Brawn,
Mrs. W, II, Locke, A membriel
window to Mr. and. Mrs. John
Collingwood was installed by
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Broderick,
The new church was erected
with a' surplus of 81,600 in the
bank,
Following Mr. Locke was the
Rev. Charles Smith, Rev. R,
Millyard and Rev, E. G.
Mr, Powell was a staunch
temperance advocate and in.
1910 stepped out of the ministry
to clean up the country in the
temperance campaig n. He
proved to be one of the, most
fearless workers in the temper-
ance campaign in Huron county,-
In fact, he wore himself out
