A team of U.S. skaters was on board on the way to compete in the Olympics. When the steward of the plane passed out cocktails—a vicious custom where the non- drinkers pay for the drinks of the drinkers—he came to this Olympic team and remarked, 'Of course these will not take any,' and the coach nodded agreement. If they had they would automatically have ruled. themselves out of the severe competition. Pruning away handicaps is a "must" for Olympic competitors— indeed for all who • strive in sports to reach the top. ° Surely in the severe competition of mod- ern living this "stumbling block" should be avoided by all youth. Very often the one who' begins as a cocktailer only,"becomes one of life's tailenders. This.. advertisement sponsored by Huron County Temperance Federation (By Signal -Star Staff) Lashing out at the Conservative Gosernment for what he termed "lack of adnr"irristration," Hon. Farquhar Oliver, Ontario leader of the Liberal party, called for a "reassessment of the highway problem in this province" in an •'"address last Thursday night at a rally in Goderich Public School auditorium. Mr. Oliver, speaking in support of the Liberal candidate in Huron, Jim Scott, .and the Huron -Bruce .candidate, Hugh Hill,. called for• a revamping of the Highways Department and the setting up of a new approach to highway coustruetion. • Probe Halted . Referring to the !highway scand- al, Mr. Oliver charged that the Conservative Government - had . stoppdd the investigation into it before the probe was finished. "The Government shut off the whole, work, of the investigating Committee and must bear the re- sponsibility," he said. "If the Tory Government is able to stifle the truth, one of the basic principles of our democratic in- stitutions has been violated," he said. "It has -always been the right of the Opposition to probe -deeply and thoroughly into all regularities." He charged also that a lot of money had been wasted in high - WHEN YOU THINK OF INSURANCE SEE Get Insured—Stay Insured . Rest Assured Bank of Com. Bldg.

"Somewhere along the line there are links miss- ing and thele had been lack , of administration," he said. "At the end of 12 years in power, the Gov- ernment is in such a mess that we've had the greatest scandal in the history of the province." Mr. Oliver lashed out also at hydro reconversion done by the Canadian ' Comstock Company, charging that the firm •had been wasteful. He said a "loosely - drawn agreement" had been made between the Government and the company. A Liberal Government, he prd- eialsed, would revise and revamp the contract. Speaking on education, he said that the Government's policy was one that .left' "a lot of room for improvement." He said that the Government should be copdemned for lack of appreciation for the searcity of school teachers. "This year the Minister of Education is right up against it. The teacher shortage Problem ,should have been; corrected years ago. He suggested that some of the • financial burden caused by the cost" of education must be lifted Pram the shoulders of municipal tax- payers. "The mun>ic>,palit!ies, are, not getting a square deal from the „ province," he said. Nix Promises Premier Frost, he said, has told the people that a 'health plan' is coming, but he has made no pro- mises. "He has just made a re- statement of what' he said in 1951• •and what he said in tlfe Legislature last year: Actually, all ;Mr. Frost said was that a health plan was a good' thing." Mr. Oliver did not proise, how- er,. that a Liberal Government .,•would provide a health plan, but he said that it would be "willing -to-werk'-en-a national scheme with Ottawa." He 'added, "It's not our plan at the moment to bring in a - provincial health plan."' • The government must be ,brought back to the people, he concluded, so than there will be nothing hidden from their view. "It's time for a change in Ontario y to a part"with new ideas," he said. Mr. Oliver was introduced by Benson Tuckey, , of Exeter, and thanked by W. H. Robertson, of Goderich. - Mr. Scott, who was introduced, by A. Y. McLean, of Seaforth, charged that the province had been • crlinirtated against under the pre- • sent county equalized assessment system, lgayor J. g. fiuekins, of ,Goderich, charged at the • jnual ,meeting of the town and village section of •the .;Ontario, Municipal Association held in Paris on Wed- nesday of .cast week. 'Mayor IHuelrins, who was unable to attend because of poor health, sent his address to, the meeting where •it • was read by 0. Ff. Ken- nedy, clerk of Hespeler an seere- taryy-treasurer of .the association. He icomtended that a farm was - as much a 'business as any store or industry in a town or village. These, are assessed a business tax for county purposes, while a farmer is only assessed on buildings and property basis. Claims Unfairness As a solution to the situation, MayorIiuckins swggested that 'business assessment be left out entirely for county equalized as- sessment purposes. He claimed that unfairness existed in farming businesses not contributing to the ,county finances. The chairman of the association, Mayor George Kemrp, of Dun das took Mayor Huckins' argument farther and pointed out that he felt the present system of assess- ing businesses was all wrong. He said there was inequality in tax- ation to a 'business withz a large turnover operating in a small store as compared to a businiess that required a large store but still had a small turnover. . Answering Mayor Kemrp, Eric Hardy, secretary of the OMA, said the provincial municipal relations committee, which has OMA .r-epre- sentation, has businessassessment under consideration but has as yet been unable to arrive at what it felt was an equitable basis of tax- ation.- He did not agree that the abolition of the business tax for county purposes was the complete answer, as he held, the problem was much more complicated than that. •The discussion ended with un- animou•s approval of the following *notion: "That municipalities in the• county pay county .rates only on ordinary assessment of lands anidv buildings," which resolution will be submitted to the ' parent body at the convention in North Bay.

GODERICH • JIM SCOTT "mismanaged and badly misman- aged in the 12 years we have been unfortunate enough to shave had a Conservative. Governanent." Referring to the Government as a "straw man," he 'said it was fall- ing apart at the 'seams. "Smelt End" He reiterated a stand made in earlier addresses that ,the riding of .Huron was getting the "small end of the stick!" He noted that the per capita grant made this year to Goderich• amounted to about $1.75 per per- son. while the grant to Toronto was approximately $4 per person, and said that there would have been a difference' of about two mills in the Goderich tax rate if Goderich had received a capita grant on the same basis as Toronto.,"That should be proof enough tat we're not getting our share," he said. No. 8 Highway in Huron County is in the "most deplorable con tion, of any 20 -mile stretch tha. have ever had the misfortune 'to travel over," he said. "And the tender for paving the Seaforth- Clinton stretch hasn't been called yet. If a road can't be cornpleted in three 'years, then there's some- thing wrong." There had been much talk of a new bridge on No. 21 Highway in the Saltford area, he said. • "At least four surveys have been made for that bridge, and • still -nobody kh'ow:s where it's going to go," he said. Speaking of school grants, he charged that Huron municipalities were getting building aid grants in "bits and pierces" until deben- tures for new schools were paid off. Hits Hydro Mr, Hill's chief criticism was of the rising .costs of hydro. "Rates have gone up consider- ably and hydro has become a political football," he said. "Thirty cents of every dollar the Hydro ' Electric Power Commission col- lected goes to pay interest charges on 'hydra."' Mr. Hill wasCliff introduced by Dunbar, president of the Huron - Bruce Liberal Association. Civic greetings were extended by, lVLaryor J. E. Huckins. Chair- man of the rally was Harold Shore, president of the Goderich Liberal Association. b - o 0 "How is your wife?" the man asked an old friend he hadn't seen for_years. "She's in heaven," replied the friend. "Oh, I'in Sorry." Then, realiz- ing that was not thething to say, he added, "I mean I'm glajd." And that. was even worse.
