PROMISE TO PAVE PINERY HIGHWAY In a letter received recently at God- erich from the secretary of the Blue Water Highway Association the fore- cast was made that this year will break all records in tourist traffic. Circumstances this year are very fav'- .orable for American tourists in that eec account of the war very few people will go to Europe as compared with other years and their money will .be at a premium of at least ten per cent in this country, which will be quite an attraction for those desiring to ,spend a vacation here. The letter continued "We have the promise of the Minister of Highways through our local member that a portion of the Blue Water highway at the lower end will be paved this year if nothing unforeseen happens in the next few months. If we can get this strip be- tween Forest and Grand Bend com- pleted, we shall have a pavement from Sarnia to Bayfield."

OPPOSITION IN HURON -PERTH J. W. MORLEY, EXETER, IS NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE Janes William, Morley, Exeter bar- rister, will oppose W. H. Golding a£ Seaforth, the Liberal candidate, when electors of the riding of Huron -Perth go to the polls on 14lareh 26th. • The 35 -year-old ,president of the Huron -Perth Conservative Association was elected at an open convention held at the Town Hall, Hensall, oil Monday afternoon, and after his elec- tion it was announced he would run under the banner of the Natioal Con- servative Association. While five naives were offered in nomination, only one ether besides that of Mr. Morley was put before the convention, -that of Mayor K. G. Waters, of town. Pie was not present at the convention. When a standing vote Was taken; the convention ac- corded Mr. Morley a eubstantial maj- ority. Others named who refused to allow their names to stand were Frank Donnelly, Goderich; H. G. Meir and Glen Hayes of Seaforth,. In charge of nominations was Dr. H. R. Taylor, Conservative candidate in the last provincial election. - Mr. Morley, in announcing that he would allow his name to stand, said he had given the matter enough thought before taking such a step. Under Dr. Manion and a National Government, Canada's war effort can best be. rendered, contended Mr. Mer - ley, during his address.' Capadians have proven they are willing to help the Empire in a great cause by events which have taken place in Canada since the declaration of war. Men ' had flocked to the recruiting stations and the people over -subscribed to the war loan. A National Government does not mean a united government, but rather it means a government maintained by the nation and admin - 1 istering for the nation, with thoughts of extending the greatest possible ef- ' fort in the time of war, contended the speaker. The candidate told the audience that as far as he was concerned the campaign in the riding would not be one of personal remarks. He said the only criticizing he would do would be against the policy of Prime Min- ister King in the conduct of Canada's war effort, OBITUARY THOS. J.

PROVINCIAL SUBSIDIESS CUT ONE-HALF MILL BUDGET REVEALS DEFICIT With a deficit of $4;444,929 for the fiscal year ending March 31, Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn presented his budget to the Ontario Jiogislature,. revealing' at the same time the prov- ince has cut its subsidy to municip- alities by a half -mill. Far from be- ing a .sunshine budget as the premier, acting in his capacity as provincial treasurer, has tabled in past years, the current financial statement con- tained' "bad news" for local 'municip- alitie's- who, instead of receiving a mill and a half return on their gen- era! assessr:it,L, will only get one mill this year. As a result of the half -mill reduc- tion in subsidies, municipalities in the province will lose about $1,500,000, it is estimated. Only new tax unposed by the Hep- burn Government was the increase in the levy on corporations, Froin which source it is hope to collect an ad- ditional $5,000,000 in revenue. Mr. Hepburn pledged strict econ- omy to help the Doimnion in its war effort and. declared the people of Ontario were prepared "to stake their last dollar and furnish the last man, if need be. so that the world may be rid of this constant threat of war." Figures given by the premier show- ed there had been a net decrease of $4,948,000 in revenue collected diming the .past year with the largest de- ficiency in revenue from succession duty taxes. This alone accounted for a drop of $3,600,000, while there was a loss of $1,203,000 in the motor vehicle branch. Falling off in money derived from the sale of liquor ,. amounted to $950,000. Premier Hepburn has estimated that ordinary revenue for the com- ing year from April 1, 1940, to March 31, 1941, will amount to $89,051,209.- 40, 89,051,209:40, while ordinary expenditures for the same period (not including un- employment relief) will amount to $82,744,970.24. This leaves an excess of ordinary revenue over ordinary ex- penditure of $6,306,239.16. Estimating expenses for those on relief during the coming year at $5,950,000, the premier expects a surplus of $356,- 239.16 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1941.

The chief justice of Canada, or in his absence or incapacity the senior justice of the Supreme Court o f Canada, auto- matically takes over the vice -regal duties, after taking the necesary oaths.
