At a meeting held recently at
Clinton ' for - consideration of
municipal affairs, including means
of acquiring clew ilidustries,' the
principal speaker was Reeve
Crockford of Scarborough Town-
ship. In reply to a question as to
whether the municipality should
purchase land for resale to in-
dustry Reeve Crockford said, as
reported by The News -Record:
One reason' the municipalities
do not get industry is because
there is no land available im-
mediately. Private property -owners
will raise the price so it is pro-
hibitive /or buyers. The muni -

ewan, so that Province is pretty
well assured of having in the
next House of tommons a promin-
ent representative of each of the
three leading parties.
* * *
An imaginative P.C. member of
the last House .of Commons and
candidate for re-election raised the
question whether Mr. St. Laurent
will continue as Prime Minister
after the election of August 10 or
will retire in favor of some other
Liberal, mentioning Mr. Pickers-
gill in this connection. The Prime
Minister has 'net this question by
stating that if he receives a vote
of confidence on August 10, "I shall
regard it as a mandate from you
to carry on as Prime Minister just
as long as al feel.- 1 am capable
of performing the duties of that
office effectively." As Mr. St.
Laurent is only 71 years of age,
and a particularly sturdy man for
his years, his promise to remain
at the head of affairs if the people
want him is significant. That Mr.
Pickersgill should he mentioned as
a probable, or even a possible,
successor to the Liberal leadership
is another piece of imagination.
Mr. Pickersgill is a new and, so
far as Parliamentary experience
is concerned, an untried man. It
is idle to expect such men as
Abbott, Pearson,.Garson and others
to step aside for a novice, and if
it were the intention to bring on
Mr. Pickersgill as a coming leader
he would '"hardly be sent to such
