They are of the cpinion that he should stay at home and bask in sunshine of the garden on }owning street. We cannot subscribe to this idea. Mr, Churchill has al- ways been a man of action and adven- ture and the experience that he has iained by his frank, forward and dir- ect methods is one of the Allies great- est assets now, now when we need it so badly. We are happy in our hum- ble way to say for the people of this community that his arrival in Canada got only thrilled us but made us the more proud that in this out-post of the erepii`e this great meeting of lead- Irs and their staffs will be held and that on the outcome of their delibera- ations the progress of the war will vontinue with great strides in the Allies favour: What a man this Churchill is? 'When British Empire fortunes were at the lowest ebb in history he said "'"We shall defend our island whatever the east may be. We shall fight on faxer beadles and the landing grounds, 'in the fields, in the streets, and over the hills. We shall never surrender, And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it, were subjugated and star,- Eng, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on its struggle until In God's good time the New World math all its power and might sets forth to tht iiberatiOn and rescue of the ‘Olci_" That was in June, 1940. He rss always had that fighting spirit. Is it any wonder that the peoples of the Empire rally to his call and hang on Eris every word. England has raised up many men who have stepped for- ward to fill a breech in the line but none who have done it so well as Churchill. * * WEEKLY NEWSPAPER MEN MEET Last week in Toronto the annual 'convention of the Weekly Newspaper Association was held. This office for the first time in many years was not represented, The pressure yJf business and holiday arrangements made it im- possible for this office to be there. But we were there in spirit. On Thursday night Lt. Col, George Drew, Ontario's premier-designate, as we write this article, was the speaker. George as 'be is known to thousands, through-out this country showed that he is not only a big man physic- ally but that his stature is great in other fields. He did not take this op- portunity to tell of his immediate plans in the political field but launched into an Empire talk that was truly great, He said "there is no use attempting to hide the fact that air transport and • military air power are two sides of the same coin, and if the British Empire is to maintain its military position, it must maintain some unified system of air transport." The Col, explained that in such a scheme we are in a stra- getic geographic location, There is no doubt but we look to the future and be prepared to meet the challenges which are certain to confront us in the post war period. Another reason we are in- terested in this convention is that a former North Huron member of parli- ament spoke. We refer to Bob. Deachrnan. We hope to see the full . text of his address soon and we will no dotibt be telling you about it next week. Walter P. Zeller, a champion of free enterprise, was another speak- er.. He stated, that he was convinced that economic freedom is essential to propriety and if, after the war is won, private enterprise in this country is afforded a fair chance it will exceed all. its achievements hitherto. NEWS of the DISTRICT Dickson Winner In Perth Stratford—W, Angus Dickson Lib- eral, was declared re-elected to the Ontario Legislature for Perth consti- tuency which has been in doubt after the Ontario general election on Aug- ust 4th, His re-election brings the number of Liberals in the 21st Legii- lature to 15.

PRINTING Money Can Be Saved By Buying At Home The business people in every community pay a large percentage of the local taxes; their stocks and stores tell the citizens and visitors whether the town is a progressive municipality or is in the doldrums. The Wingham merchants advertising on this and other pages of this paper, are doing their utmost during these critical days, to promote the interests of the town by stocking such goods as are available. They are therefore entitled to your support and by, supporting them you are helping yourself and also the town. Gasoline and tires are precious at this juncture, so you can save both by doing your shopping right in Wingham. In many instances prices are controlled, so there is actually no object in spending money for transportation.
