AND THEY SEEM PERFECTLY .GOOD REASONS Leading Liberals all over Canada are supporting Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen. In Winnipeg, Isaac Pit- bledo, Ti. C.. who was at one. time offered the Liberal leadership in Manitoba, and on the stump has been a bulwark of strength for the Liberals, announced that he will sup- port Mr. Meighen. Ile bas given reasons. They are sound, sensible, practical reasons which will appeal to every Canadian. They are as fol- lows: "I am a supporter of Hon. Arthur Meiglieb and his Gov- ernment for the following rea- sons: "Firstly—Because I believe that the main issue before the electors to -day is ,the tariff, and, personally, I feel that the tariff policy of the present. Govern- ment is the only safe one for us in Canada to -day, Without a reasonable protective tariff in this critical period in our history,.. . our industries will languish, our workmen will be out of employ- ment, our natural resounds will remain undeveloped, and more than all, th'e development of Can- ada as a destined nation be re- tarded materially. I do not wish to see the industries of Canada destroyed, and her national pros- perity. impaired. . "Secondly—Because I believe that the present Government has under most difficult condi- tions, honestly, • co"nscentiously and fearlessly endeavored to deal with the many vital prob- lems which we have to face be- cause of war conditions, I see noa,y'eason to expect any better solution of these problems un- der W. L. Mackenzie Icing or Me, Crerar. "Thirdly—Because of my per- sonal admiration for the prem- ier, Rt. Hon, Arthur Meighen. I admire his ability, his honesty of purpose, his courage, his fear-- lessness, and his frank and 'out- spoken statement of the policies of his Government. I believe that 'the mainspring of his ac- tions is an unselfish desire to • advance the best interests of • Canada as he sees then), with no thought of personal advance- ment. I consider him one of Canada's noblest and ablest sons.” READ THE NEWS -RECORD "THE PEOPLE'S PAPER" FOR NEWS OF CLINTON AND HURON COUNTY Brilliant Lights for Winter Nights The dark hours are here— but you can make them bright t byequipping eq upping your office, factory and house with Westinghouse Lamps, esu ghous HIGH L'hriciEtlCY MAZDA LAMPS t.

It seems that, owing to the down- pour of rain, neither brother saw the other, Leonard's view being obstruc- ted by the umbrella which he was holding over his sister. They crossed immediately in front of the car, were both knocked down and seriously hurt, the car - wheels passing over the brother. Tie was rushed to the hos- pital and at first the doctors thought the accident had resulted in oniy a few bruises and a scalp wound, but it proved otherwise, as death oc- curred on Sunday afternoon about 2.15 from concussion of the brain. Special services were held in Knox Presbyterian church on Sunday last, the occasion being the eighly-first anniversary of Presbyterianism in this town. The Rev. R. B. Cochrane of Toronto was the special preacher. The history of Presbyterianism in Goderich dates back to the early thirties. Al; a session of the Estab- lished Church of Scotland it was de- cided in 1833 to make this place a preaching station, and Rev. A, Mc- Kenzie was called as pastor, Two other preaching stations, one 111 Stanley and the other in Tucker - smith, were includeed in the charge. In 1842 the first steps were taken towards organizing a congregation, which then numbered some 50 mem- bers and in 1848 the first church ser- vice was held, with Rev. Alex. Me- lCidd, D. D., as paste', and the church was known as St, Andrew's. In 1858 the start of the present church was made and opened in 1861 and was known as the Canadian Presbyterian' Church. In 1875 the two churches united under a Mitt pastorship of Rev. Dr, Ure anci Rev. ,Tames Sleveright, The churches at Colborne and Goderich Township were opened at the same time. In 1878 the church, which had prospered, enlarged its edifice and adopted the envelope system. The organ was in- troduced for the first time in 1879. On the resignation of Dr, Ure in 1890, Rev, James Anderson, who was 'assistant pastor, assumed the charge until his death in 1910. Knox Church has made a remarkable growth in its church work. Its pres- ent ntetnberahip numbers some 650, with• about 500 adherents. Rev. C. R. 'MeDermid is the present pastor. HEADS NAMED FOR ONTARIO POLICE AREAS Mr. C.

T}IUfISDAY, D1'.CiS111IiER 1 at, 1.921 r tame. tsr Shall it be that through the destruction of the Tariff as proposed by both Crerar and King, the development of Canada is to come under the domination of the United States, to be followed by gradual financial domination and as a consequence, political domination.? COR Is Canada's destiny to be that of a great free nation within the British Empire group of Nations, developing her boundless resources of mine, river, water power, forest, and cultivating her millions upon millions.of acres of arable land? Is her develop- ment to surpass that of any other nation? Shall her manufacturing industries develop her minerals and raw materials into im- plements and goods for the benefit and comfort of her people and for foreign trade? Shall she becoepe a self-contained 'nation within the. Empire, her great railways interchanging, the products of factory,and farm among her own people, and her ships sailing every sea? 'Shall she mdintain her integrity within the Empire and protect her farms and factories against unfair competition from foreign tiamtries? IF THIS IS TO BE CANADA'S DESTINY THEN CANADA NEEDS MEIGHEN. On December Gth, Canada should once again protect her farms, herr factories And her workmen against the unsound theory of Free Trade, anti should hold fast to her reasonable Protective Tariff, her national entity and her British connection.' On December Gth Canada should declare with no uncertain voice that she will not tolerate the false trade theories of visionaries and group leaders which tend toward her economic destruction, toward the separation of her people and the weakening of the ties that bind Canada to the British Empire. On December 6th Canada should demonstrate unmistakably to the outside world her fixed deter- mination to keep Canada for the Canadians. On December 6th Canada's destiny is at stake.

But there is a suggestiveness also of quite a different sort—'the suggestiveness that quickens the rea- der's sense of duty, stimulates am- bition, gives courage to face adver- sity, fortifies against yielding easily to temptation, It is this better kind of suggestiveness that you will find on almost every page of The Youth's Companion.
