No mention of "Over Taxation" or "Waist Deep in Waste", "Top Heavy Majority", "Drunk with Power", "Riding Piggy-Back", by my friend Gordon, when he is appealing for votes in his own constituency of Peel. Remember, Malton is situated in Peel. It makes a difference whose ox is being gored. Also, I noticed the other day in driving through this same riding, that on his posters, Mr. Graydon does not identify himself' with any party. He just tells the people to "Vote Gordon Graydon". If, these speakers, who maintain that a large majority is not conducive. to good Government really mean what they are saying, and expect the electors to act accordingly, I can see a vast army of Conservatives out on the hustings at the next provincial election, telling the people the dangers of having a Provincial Government at Toronto with 84 members to the. opposition's 8. Mr. Drew is reported as having s aid in a speech in Quebec on July 21st, I have always felt the Fathers of Confederation endeavored successfully in the British North America 'Act t o assure all groups equality of citi- zenship. It seems to me the Leader of the Opposition should tell his friends in Ontario how much he has promised Mr. Leon Baker, President of 'the Young Conservatives of Canada, and nephew of Premier Maurice Duples- sis, in return for the support of the Union. Nationale vote in Quebec Province. As we enter the final two weeks of this cam- paign, we are receiving considerable attention from the Higher-ups of the Conservative Party. On Friday, this riding was honored with a visit by my good friend, Gordon Gray- don of Brampton. Mr. Graydon has spent ten days in Western Ontario, making speeches that are very foreign to the speeches used by this speaker of suavely modulated voice, whose presence in the House is usually requir- ed to pour oil on the troubled waters when some of his more enthusiastic colleagues allow themselves to be caught off base. The largest plant of its kind in Canada, and perhaps in the World, is the A. V. Roe Aeroplane plant at Malton. More of the Canadian tax- payers' dollars are spent there, than in any other single plant in Canada. In the House this spring, Mr. Gray don patted the • government on the back on the operation here. His opening words on that occasion were: ARNOLD DARROCH, Liberal Candidate AUGUST 10th for UNITED CANADA Wellingt on-Huron Liberal Association. "If the Conservatives are elected, we will really get down to the job of creating a strictly Canadian Con- stitution". "I am one who has always championed and supported the industry at Malton. It has not always been popular to take that position because, as most Hon. Members know, there have been criticisms". VOTE ed on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Aldrich.

Seldom has history been presented more vividly than in this pageant. The story begins with the Indians and the Vikings, the coming of Cartier and Champlain, the Hudson Bay Co., and the powerful, peppery Frontenac. There is the dramatic incident of Madeline de Vercheres, the battle of the Plains of Abraham, the adventures of Captains Cook and Vancouver, and Alexander Mackenzie anti Simon Fra- ser and the tragic affair of the Red River Rebellion, The days of the fur trade and the gold rush and the heroic early exploits of the North West Mounted Police lead up to Confeder, atibii, the linking together of the pte, Vineea by the Canadian Patifie Rails Way and the Wink of immigrants with 'theft inflnenee in shaping otir Mrs, Pattison and Dorothy and Miss The Wingharn Advance-Times, Wednesday, July gO, Deacon attended the ski-meet at Southampton, Canadian culture, Stoney Creek and the founding of the first Women's In- stitute come in here; then World War One, the Commonwealth of Nations, the Peace Bridge and World War Two, The last stage features the United Na- tions and Canada's new stature as a nation, the coronation, a prayer and the finale, of Ontario are now "up to their ears From communities all over Ontario bus loads and automobile parties are in work and having a wonderful being organized for this event, Many time," as members of the Junior of these parties will include a good Ranger corps of the Ontario Depart- number of high school pupils and merit of Lands and.

H. WILFORD clearing of camp sites and building of fireplaces for tourist use. On occas- ion, they join in the actual fighting of forest fires. They receive special instruction observation and, for the most part, are located in areas where the fish- ing and swimming are excellent. From now until school resumes, each boy will put on at least 10 pounds in weight, according to the average gain recorded over the past 10 years and will know how to handle a canoe, repair a "kicker," cook well enough to take care of himself and his group in the hush and a great deal about the value of Ontario's forests. Indicative of the work they per- form are the reports from various forestry districts. In the Parry Sound area, a group is stationed at Byng Inlet making improvements in the grounds of the forestry station there and later is to rebuild a telephone line from Highway 69 to Pakesley, A similar program is being carried out in the Trent area, where two ranger camps are located at Paudsah and Mink Lakes. In the Tweed district the boys are brushing out telephone lines and clearing campsites. In White River they are carrying out important road improvement work from their camps at Strabus Lake and the Firesand River Inthe Cochrane area the Junior Rangers are brushing out telephone lines to the fire towers. Among other duties, the youths in the Chapleau area are thinning out 30-year-old jack pine along the Chapleau High- way. Camps have been set up, too, at Stetham Lake and on the Goose Range road in the Gogama country. There, after a conducted tour through bush terrain, the boys settled down to a busy summer. Three crews are located at Pancake Bay, Peshu and McCreight's Dam in the Algoma area. High-spirited and thriving on the open air life, the Junior Rangers mix a lot of fun with new and interesting tasks. Junior Ranger Camp Popular with High School Youth More than 300 youths from all parts in the use of tools, tower Mr. A. H. Wilford, of Toronto, was in town on Wednesday morning, Mr, Wilford's Rutabaga campaign is still remembered by everyone in this community and he informs The Standard that he has just returned from the United States where he was engaged in promotion work on behalf of the Canadian Rutabaga. Apparently he found the American reaction quite favourable, and he has planned var- ious phases of promotion work that will, it is hoped, improve the export possibilities of the Rutabaga crop to that country. Locally we understand that a record crop of Rutabagas is in full growth, with one of the largest acreages ever sown, something over 600 acres. Mr. Wilford informs us that the marketing of cheese is also another matter on his promotion agenda, for the not-too-distant future.--Blyth Standard. T1HE BULK TEA, raisins and crackers in the oId- I time grocery store have been superseded by sanitary packaged goods backed by the good name of their maker. The sliced, wrapped loaf of bread and the can of soup or fruit have eliminated hours of kitchen drudgery. Modern bathrooms, furnaces, and electric appliances, have swept away inefficient, laborious methods. The motor car has revolution- ized our way of life. Advertising has played a part in these advances, because advertising has made mass production pos- sible, and mass production has brought the can of soup, the electric washer and the motor car within every family's reach. This newspaper looks on its display and classified advertising as an important part of its service to the community.
