Huron's representative -Ain the Ontario Legislature Since 1948, Thomas ,Pryde, of -Exeter, Was the unanimous choice -of a zit n3ination meeting at Hensall last Thursday night as the Conservative; candi- date for next month's' Prbvinoial election. Only other name proposed for nomination was that of William •Dale, fernier Reeve of ';Hu1i 1tt Township . and last year's Warden Of Huron County, who 4id not allow 'his naane to stand nd en- dorsed Mr. Pryde as the candidate. Three Victories , Mr. Prycle will robe tryingwfor his fourth consecutive election victory. He was first elected in 1948 in a by-election that attracted province• wide interest. He was r'e;elected later in the same. -year in a d'rovin- telal election and was returned to office in the Provincial eilection of 1951. s In h -is •o inatiion address, Mr. Pryde took exception to 'Liberal criticism that 'Huron has the worst roads in the province and that the county had been getting the "short end of the stick" from the Ontario Government. --He cited grants made to hospitals and schools -as examples bf Gov- ernment aid given- to the county, "I've been told that we have the worst roads in the province of Ontario," said Mr. Pryde. "The person who .would make that state- ment doesn't travel much or get far from home." In the riding of Huron, he continued, there are 126 miles of- provincial highway, of which 59 miles have been com- pletely reconstructed since 1947, and.. another, 29 miles are under- going reconstruction this summer. The highway sections listed for major rebuilding this- year, he noted, include the stretch of No. 8 from Seaforth to Dublin, and a six - mile section of Na.. 83, east of Exeter. Tenders are being called -new; said Mr. Pryde, for the laying of hot mix. paving on No. 8 from Clinton -to. Seaforth. On top of the highway 'work, hospital.. grants, and education grants that have come to Huron,. said Mr. Pryde, 'the 'province has contributed $250,000 toward the $500,000 cost of the new Huron County Home, "And yet Huron county .gets nothing, 'according to some people," he said. Minister• Speaks Guest speaker at the nomination rally was James N. Allan, Minister of Highways for Ontario, who told delegates 'that they had a -candi- date of whom they coold be proud. Mr. Allan . praised the Govern- md'nt for its management. "During the past few years, while other, provincial governments -have been in -creasing, taxes, we havebeen able to carry on as we were," he said. He pointed out also that the Ontario Government had provided services for a growing—.province.

A, COUNCIL UNDE'GIDED Whether a'' policeman would be needed at Gode'rich Public School at noon hour on wet days was a subject that rated debate at last Friday night's Town Council meeting, but the only decision reached was to make a further investigation' .of the matter. Councillor .Frank Walkom, chairman of the police com- mittee, and Chief Constable F. M. Hall were authorized . to meet with Principal H. M. Shackleton and report back to council. The debate arose when the police committee reported to council that it could not reach a decision-. The Public School board had requested a police- man. Council's opinion was - asked. Councillor Walkom said that the committee felt that one policeman at the s'cho'ol was, "like throwing -a needle into a' bag of sand. You'd need at 'least five policemen." Councillor James Donnelly ,.,.. said he felt that a policeman at the school might not prove entirely - necessary, but the school board could be given co-operation to see if a police- man was necessary. "It's part of. their (the policemen's) job to get -off the Square once in a while," he said. "They've had a school there a long, longs time and we've had a lot of rainy days," com- mented Mayor J. E. Huckins. THOMAS PRYDE, of Exeter, who has been chosen again as Huron candidate for the Conservative party in the June 9 provincial election, Mr, Pryde has represented the Huron riding since 1948.
