Currie spent Sunday at Guelph, N4,34 Edith Treed and ditlfghtertOli: of Hantiltort, spent the holiday weeks end with the farmer's nephew, W. N. in connection with the operation of a radio station stating that it was a very complex and diversified business. Nearly all private stations operated on a commercial basis, selling .time to ad- vertisers. Salesmen called upon pro- Pective advertisers to sell time to cover their line of products, just as the newspapers did. Each bad their own definite field. He traced the ad- vertising programs through the various details until they were placed on the' air. In speaking .of prospects for the position of announcer, it was found that very few applicants had the requisite voice and other qualifications. The operation of the controls• was very important. In the early days stations were swamped with mail. This had largely died out and now this only happened when some adveitiser wished to find out the coverage of the station and made Some small offer an an in- ducement for listeners to write. Radio stations work 365 days in a year and never have a holiday. Priv- ate stations do not- share in the $2.50 fee charged for licenses. 'The language used had to be exact and the advertis- ing attractive to catch the ear. In closing he thanked the Club for the opportunity of appearing before them. A motion of appreciation was tend- ered by Lion Harley Crawford and seconded by Lion Harry Gibson.

These numbers were great- ly appreciated by the Lions. A num- ber of the visiting Lions spoke briefly and the meeting adjourned with the closing song and the Lions Roar. fiODER1CH SOLDIER IS LIBERAL CHOICE (Continued from page one) ernment leads the world in this re- spect. If elected, he said he would set up an agricultural committee to advise him on all problems pertaining to the farm. He said that the Globe and Mail were always attacking Prime Minister Mackenzie King who, 18 years out of his 25 years as Liberal leader, had been head of the govern- ment and he declared that we should get behind him and re-elect him to this high office. I heard McKenzie King address the combined House of Commons and. House of Lords in London, and I have never been so proud of being a Canadian as I was at that time, he said. This riding can be won back to the Liberal fold, the Major said, and I will do all in my power to fight a successful election. I will contact all servicemen, he said. With your help I will win and I do need your assis- tance, he said. Mr. George Wood, M. P. The special speaker was Mr. George Wood, M. P., for the riding of Brant. He represents the same riding in the Federal house as Mr. Harry Nixon does in the Ontario Assembly. Mr: 4TAtittite Had interesting Meeting Grandmothers were specially _invited to the Historical Itesettith and Current Events meeting of the Women's Insti- tute last week at the home of Miss Florence FoWldr. Mrs. George Thom- son read an impressive report of the war work done in the last six months, Arrangenients were completed for a social to .raise funds for overseas box- es. Good wishes were expressed to the president, Miss Jean Elliott on the eve of her marriage. Mrs, Ybseph Smith was elected delegate tr., the con- vention at Guelph, The roll call asking for descriptions of first trips from home, brought many interesting answers, Mrs, Edward Johnston, at five years, drove from Gorrie to St. Marys; Mrs. Joseph Smith had her first train ride to the Winter Fair at Guelph and ;mores- slang of the beautiful horses still rd- main, Mrs, Carl SohnstoWs first was to the Toronto Exhibition; Mrs, ThOmsott's first train ride was from 8undridge to turk's galls to write on the Entrance examinations; Miss jean Elliott spent a week With her gran& ',bother; Miss Margaret Curtis describ- ed the Bell homestead at Brantford; Mrs, Curtis' first trip was with ,her parents when they moved from.Miteh. ell to Vittevale; Mrs. W. Y, Robertson visited. The wonders of Detroit and AA. ••••••1; Wood said he had'sat under Mr. King for nine years and as Mr. Churchill has Said, the more we know him the better we love him. Mr. King, he said, is a man of sturdy qualities and a Christian' gentleman: In 1939 Mr. King had said that there would be no political influence during .the• war and he has lived up to that promise. We must judge Canada's war effort on its results, Mr. Woods said. Mr. King put winning the war first. Can- ada stands as the country that has the highest per capita war effort and Canadians should be proud of this, The Progressive Conservatives are do- ing all pOssible to undermine confi- dence in the government and he said that Judge McTague had desserted the war effort to beCorne National Chair- man of the Progressive Conservative party. He said that Mr. John Brack- en was a zombie leader of the Pro- gressive Conservative party as he had been leader for three years and had not the courage to seek a seat in the House. He said while the country was firizhting for its life John Bracken had gOile around drinking sap and milking cows. Canadians have bagged the, second largest number of prisoners in France and they were asked by the British for, 5000 officers to lead their men in the invasion of France. Does this look like our men are not properly trained as \ charged by Drew and Conny' Smythe, he asked. One of these officers, King Hastings of this community, 'gave his life with' the British Forces on June 9th as did a nephew of his. Canada prospers under Liberal lead- ership, he said. Today Agricultural income is the highest in the history of the country as is the income of labour• and our production capacity. Canada with twelve millions people has the third largest navy and we have the third largest trade in the world. Farmers cannot survive without this trade and there has always been great- er trade under Liberal administration. He upheld the Family allowance which is giving to the mothers some of the profits of the larger business. He charged that the C.C.F. were nothing but National Socialists. They say, he said, that they will socialize all things except the farmer. Why is it not good for the farmer if it is good for others, he asked. I am sure, Mr. Wood said, that when all the criticism of the Government has been analyzed that the people will vote liberal and return to power Mr. Mc- kenzie King. The chairman of the meeting was Deputy Reeve Alex Alexander of Grey, President of. the North Huron. Liberal Association. Mr. C. W. At- tridgeof Goderich was secretary of the meeting. Dr. Campbell of Hensall brought greetings from the Huron-Perth Lib- eral Association,
