TOURS RIDING
Ontario Liberal leader John Win-
termeyer and the Liberal candidate,
Murray Gaunt, undertook a whirl-
wind tour of the Huron -Bruce rid-
ing on Monday.
Starting out just before dawn in
Wingham, where workers were met
at the door of the Lloyd factory on
their way to work and continuing
till after dark, the cavalcade made
52 stops, covered the riding and
shook hands with hundreds of
people,
Farmers, housewives and con-
struction workers were visited, as
well as several schools along the
way. One group of school child-
ren came out carrying banners of
their own design lettered "We
want Gaunt". The management
of the Pine River Cheese factory
contributed a box of cheese. A For-
mosa housewife, seeing the group
shaking hands with a crowd out-
side her home, came out with a
card table, coffee and doughnuts
for all.
The only mishap of the day oc-
curred on a gravel road near Otter
Creek when the convertible carry-
ing Mr. Wintermeyer and Murray
Gaunt {blew a tire and had to be
abandoned. The emergency car,
driven by Scott Fairservice, reeve
of Blyth, picked up the victims of
the mishap and the tour continued
without interruption.

ed that council adjourn to meet
next day at the Rattenbury House.
This the members agreed to do.
provided no charge was made, thus
setting a pattern of fr:lgality
which has persisted through the
years.
Reviewing only the past 40 years
it is found that the 1922 warden,
Nelson W. Trewartha of Clinton,
was elected in 1023 as Conserva-
tive member for South Huron, de-
feating U.F.O and Liberal candi-
dates.

former mayor of :eafortlx, who
became SLI'. for faitith Iiuron and
later Senator.
In the 1934 provincial election,
putting Mitchell Hepburn at head_
of the government, South Huron
sent him a supporter in James 1311
lantyne of tlsbor'ne, who had been
warden in 1933. Mr. Ballantyne
C. A. Robertson Took Seat
Thr' 1925 warden, Reeve Charles
A. Robertson of Colborne, ran in
Huron at Liberal candidate_ for the
Legisiat ere and captured the seat
from John Joynt, Conservative.
George C. Feagan, warden in
1919, was listed among likely can-
didates for the Conservative nomi-
nation when John Hanna first
came out and took the rail posi-
tion. •

John Morrissey of :=,tephen, war-
den in 1958, was proposed when
