TEACHERS HAVE DUAL RESIDENCES School teachers who regularly spend heir holidays at their parents' homes ither may vote in the electoral dist- •iet where their parents live or in the listrict where they teach school pro- vided their names are on the voter's ist but they cannot vote at advanced pales, Jules Castonguay, chief elect-' oral officer stated in a memorandum to returning officers on Tuesday. With elections fixed for the day following Easter Monday, Mr. Cast- onguay has received a great number of inquiries as to wihether school teachers must return to the electoral district in which they teach school to vote thereby cutting short their holi- days. The Election Act snakes spec- ial provisions for teachers to vote in the electoral district where they teach. "It appears," the memorandum stated, "that a teacher has what may be termed a dual residence and she can elect whether she will vote in the !electoral district in which her place 'or residence, while teaching school, is situated, or in the electoral district in which the home of her parents is sit- (uated. It goes without saying, how- ever, that teachers in the above cir- 1 eumstance can vote only in one elec- Ioral district at a general election." The same provision applies to male teachers, Mr. Castonguay said. Coal For Bullets (Windsor Star) The Canadian Government will do well to give serious consideration to the suggestion of the Western Can- ada Fuel Association. The members urge that more Canadian coal be used by Canadians. In their• request, the fuel men point out that Canada will have to make extensive purchases of war supplies in the United States. As the struggle intensifies, more and' more war ma- terials will be required. These will have to be paid for by Canadian dollars. By using Canadian coal, the Cam- adian people would keep at home the money they usually spend in the Unfit - ed States for fuel. That would amount to around $75,000,000 for the current season. And, if a substantial per- centage of that amount could be di- verted from the United States to the Canadian mines, the exchange situa- ion would be assisted materially. Huron -Perth Executive Have Confidence In King's Administration • W. H. GOLDING LIBERAL CHOICE Huron -Perth Liberals meeting in Hensall on Thursday =ominously en dorsed a resolution of confidence in the administration 'of the Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King and expressing, appreciation of the services of the sitting member W. H. Golding. Chas. Zwicker, of Crediton, president of the assoeialtion, was in the, chair. The text of the resolution was as follows: Moved by Charles Fritz, Zurich, seconded by 3. Ross Taylor, Science Hill: that the executive of the Huron Perth Liberal Association place itself on record of appreciating the efficient leadership given. by the Prime Min- ister during the Parliamentary. term and the manner in which he and his cabinet have in a very limited time organized Canada for war service in closest co-operation with the British and French Governments, by seltect- ing men of outstanding ability re- gardless of their political affiliations for very important and difficult tasks which this war has created in Can- ada, and further that the executive has complete confidence and faith in the ability of the Prime Minister and his governemnt to manage Canadian affairs both from the domestic and foreign standpoint, and further, this executive has complete confidence in Mr. W. H. Golding, the member for this riding and expresses its deepest appreciation of his untiring efforts to serve the same and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Prime Minister and his cabinet and also a copy be given to the Press.

OLD FIRE ENGINE LONG IN SERVICE JUNK WORTH $52 A town institution that for years gave good service to Haeriston in moments of alarm passed into a state of deep humiliation this week. It was the old steam fire engine shelved some years ago with the purchase of a motor fire truck. The old engine, familiar to every resident at one time, has been occupying a position of re tired dignity in the fire hall since its replacement but the town council came to the conclusion its usefulness had passed and the space was of more Strathroy, Wingham, Seaforth and value than the machine and so to a Goderich.

DEATH OF THELMA CREIGHTON Word was received by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kirk of Tuckersmith of the death of their granddaughter, Thelma Creighton, who was hurt on January 24th as she crossed the street to go skating to a outdoor rink.

Her father passed away eight years ago and she is sur- vived by her mother, one sister, Pearl, and one brother, Francis, who is at- tending Wayne University.
