MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH
E. R Wigle, M P.P., for Centre
Unison, made his maiden, speech in
the Legislature .en.Monday, the sub-
stance • of his address being,as fol-
lows, according to The Free Press:
"E. R. Wigle, as successor to -a
long line of Liberal members' from
Centre and West Huron, felt himself
in a unique position in'conveying fel-
icitations to Mr. Speaker and, the
prime minister. ',He paid his res-
pects also to Ilon. Manning Doherty,
who assisted the •U.F..0. candidate
in the -election by speaking at Lon-
deshoi:o, which hamlet,' Mr. Wigle
noted, gave for the first time a Con-
servative majority.
"The educational system of Otter-,
io," he said, "has not progressed with
the tines, and I believe that -the prince
minister, a keen observer of the peo-
ple's wants, will so mold it that we
will have something worth while. As
I see it, it is educating the farmers
off the lancL WO want things so
changed that when young people
show aptitude along any particular
line they may receive education suit-
able thereto."
With regard to theexodusof young
nien*erase' the line, Me. Wigle said
the 'Government might' very, well
establish •a "back to Ontario" bureau
in Detroit. Discussing the case of
Charles Bulpitt, English :horse boy;
near Goderich; Iia said: "While I do
not exonerate the fanners there :from
blame, 2 think it rests with the school
that -sent the boy over. A boy of
his physique and education should not
have' been placed'' on a tarns."
Hydro- the member described as a
burning puestion in Huron.
"The prime minister," he said, "has
Intimated that a certain bonus or help
will be given on rural lines. I be-
lieve in such municipalities as: ,Gode-
rich, where the price per horse power'
has grown frons 537 ,the year I be-
came mayor 10.455 at the present,
sone redress should be offered. Its
the town of Seaforth
the rate is s4q,
in Clinton 345, the village of Bros=
eels 571 an Blyth X91, all from the
same system and almost>within a
stone's theme. 5 believe if we are to
prosper; in these small towns, -.if our
industries are to grow, theonly help
for us ie to have cheaper powers and
I believe the government will be well
advised to .help the municipalities
paying over a certain amount.
"I have nothing but the greatest
respect for Sir Adam Reek; and think,
he is a wonderful man and: has under-
taken a wonderful project, but as ap-
plied to Goderich and the municipals-,
ties I have enumerated, it seems to
be .working hardship. The present
system seems to work all to the bene-
fit of the "large centres and it is an
alarming fact, when we consider one
quarter of 'the population is in the
city. If they would only migrate in-
to the smaller towns they would en
joy better environment and we think
it would be better for the adniiiiistra_
Lion of justice." -
With regard to'Alberta coal, Mr.
Wigle said that so long as the na-
tional railways could make excursion
rates for harvesters going west, the
eame principle could 1 applied to
fuel, and that public opinion when a,
roused would bring it about:
He was inclined to doubt the advis-
ability of the province' taking oveie

had embarked upon; vtravagant pro-, p

however, had a good evening's en-
joyment..
iMontgomery Ray, "Monte," a gay
young Chicago nnan,. had represented
to his grandfather, purely for pecuiu

was• surprised one day to learn that -
his grandparent was :passing through

the -took of the' establishment, who
had been taken to the hospital in the
morning, had smallpox and the whole
house was quarantined, This caused
complications, of course, many funny
situations are'•shown and in the end
"Grandpa" had to be told the truth.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Clinton public library is one of
the meet popular institutions in town,
and seems to be growing in favor, as
it ought to dd. To those who know
and patronize it this will be no stews,
but there are still some who do not
realize that 'Clinton has one of the
very best libraries to be found in the
smaller towns of Ontario. Visitors
to 'Clinton -frequently express their
surprise at its completeness. i- From
the 1923 report we glean the'follow-
nig facts, which give •Seine idea of
its extent, at least: There are 8900
volumes in the library;. 407 new books
were purchased last year; there' are
5 r
7 0 borrowers, 174 new names 'being
added during the year, and, 19204.
books were circulated. In, addition,
there are in the comfortable reading
room nearly forty,magazines:and per_

ican. Anyone who isnot using the
Public Library is missing. a privilege

Goderich
Furst Game
LastFriday our local Junior hock
ey team proved :themselves a pinch'
hitting aggregation when they defeat-
ed the Goderich Sailors on their, bwn
ice to the tune of 7-1.
Considerable anxiety' was felt for
Idle locals on account of the absence
o£ Hovey, and Roberton; but Frank
Mutch and iiiike Coolt, combined so
well with the remaining "players, that
the team -work was not affected in any
way by the' absence of the "travel-
lers." ',
The game was fast from start, to
finish and splendid combination' on
,the part of ,our "Colts",was -respon=
`sible for their victory. The score at
the e end of the first tri
t p od stood 3-0
for Clinton. In the second round the
locals ran in two more. During the
first tenminutes 'of the third period
Goderich staged a whirlwind come-
back and bulged' the twine for three
counts. Allison lifted a high one
from right wing which passed over
Elliott's' shoulder, hit the top of the
nest and dropped behind the goal.
'Goal umpire Chase threw up his hand
claiming a goal. Referee Lightfoot
accepted the umpire's decision and'al-
lowed the goal.' Mr. Chase certainly
has defective eye -sight or is entirely
lacking in his sense of fair play. The
locals .came back strong in the last
ten minutes and scored twice Making
the final score 7-4.
For the "Colts" Rorke at centre
played stellar hockey; :combining oe
many occasions with the wing 'nen

shots were right on the net all even-

other forwards, scored' once and alto-
gether g t turned in kiss best performance
of the season. Higgins on left wing
checked effectively, played nice coni
bination scoring once. Cook and
Mutch also did good work the latter

combination. Cole and Nediger on

also handed out several stiff .though

Mrs. T. O'Connor is visiting in
Kitchoner this week.
Fifty-three years ago last twenty-
fourth of May, Mrs. James Reynolds,
who was then little more than a bride,
planted a silver maple tree at her,
kitchen door and during all these
years it had grown and flourished,
giving shelter and shade and adding
to the beauty of the landscape. : A
couple of years ago it was struck by
lightning, shattering it somewhat and
splitting off a large linnb. This
spoiled its beauty to some extent and
bast weekthe tree was ,cut down and
cut into wood, snaking about fives
cords. Mrs, Reynolds herself, who is
now eighty-four years, .of' age, went
out and carried in the fist armful of
the wood. This wt's a case where,
even after long years of waiting,ihe
fruits of early labours were enjoyed. '
Mrs. Reynolds is wonderfully alert
for her veare, ;reads without, glasses"
and therdughly •enjoys•keeping up
with the news ofthe. do. These
sturdy early settlers who did pioneer
work in this county deserve the'grat-
itude oftof
those younger generations,
who enjoy the peivileges'won by:their
patience and perseverance.
