Referring to tariffs he point- ed out the discrimination against Canadian farmers by unfair competit- ion With the United States market. Since the beginning of the war 18 million pounds of pork have been David Cantelon, Clinton's oldest and brought in. Referring specifically to I staunchest Conservative; Elmer D. party politics and the record of Mac- I Bell, Brussels; Wilmot Haacke, Ex- kenzie King he said his statements Warden of Huron; Dr. 11. H. Taylor, were not consistent. Quoting from Dashwood. a recent address he said that. shortly after issuin an a cal for unity Iver g pp King gave the lie to his statement by saying that neither he nor any member of his cabinet would form part of a national govermnent. Again Mr. Acres said, "Prime Min- ister King knew weeks before parl- iament convened there would be no session. For weeks before parliament met printing offices were preparing election instructions." Had he told the people he would close the doors without giving an account of his stewardship would the war loan have, been oversubscribed, the speaker asked. Hon. Mr. Creerar had over forty pages of recommendations reporting on his conferences in Great Britain which he had no chance to give. ` Question papers from the Opposition asking things which should be known,' were blown out with the closing of the doors. Dr. Manion pledged his' support to Canada's war effort and; proved his sincerity by sending his organizer home. Mr. Acres spoke, highly of Dr. Manion's accord during the last war and his record as Mire' inter of Railways and also that of 56,000 mien who offered their services' in the air force only 2,000 were sel- ected while the remainder were sent home. The rest should have been kept to guard our power plants and industries was the speaker's opinion. Concluding his spirited address he again pleaded for men who would cast aside party affiliation.. A Na- tional Government for the nation at large and each and every person a missionary to that end was his final plea. Legion Drive Over The Top People of Clinton and district have once again demonstrated their pat- riotism. In the recent appeal by the Canadian Legion War Services the response was generous, as it was to the Red Cross appeal. Setting an objective of $400 the local committee are pleased to report a. total of $496.90 received. They appreciate the generosity of all who contribut- ed or assisted in any way in putting the campaign over in such a splendid manner.

Steep. Cardiff States Policy "My first and foremost thought is the completion of this war, It makes no difference to smaller nations what the tariffs are. If we were in their position it would make no dif- ference either," said Mr. Cardiff af- ter saying that his opposition talked always of tariffs. He further stated that tariffs had little bearing on. this election since they are adjustable from day to day. The present prices of hogs are not satisfactory to farm- ers he contended as feed prices had increased out of proportion to the finished product. "About all the farmer gets is the exercise," said Mr. Cardiff. The man who now represents Huron pays no taxes here, has never lived here and his only interest in the riding is at election time. To prove the latter .statement, Mr. Cardiff said he had written tem important letters to the sitting mem- ber which were not acknowledged and he presumed ethers snake similar re- ports. In his case he had always lived in Huron County and his inter- ests were centred here. He pledged his support to 'the furtherance of Canada's war effort. "Stay Out Of Family Quarrel" - Morley "Let Premier King and the Pro- vincial Leader fight out their own family quarrel among themselves and may the fittest survive. We will get no thanks for mixing in it,' 'said Mr. J. Morley, in part, in reference to the King -Hepburn feud. It seems strange that the supporters of the resolution of censor are now backing King candidates. "I wonder if it is not just a clever election ruse," said the speaker, "and I leave the answer M you." Mr. Morley contended that the Order:: papers asking questions about patronage, contracts, etc., were blown Seaforth at Clinton Tonight Providing the weatherman stays in good humour hockey fans will see another rousing game of hoc- key tonight.

BEAVERS TAKE FIRST OF GROUP FINALS 6-4 HUBERT LEADS SCORING APPOINTMENTS MADE BY COUNCIL. The appointmenet of Mr. Norman Kennedy as assessor and tax Collect- or was confirmed by bylaw at the Monday night council meeting; .•also the appointment of Mr. C. G. Middle - ten to the Celleg-iate Board. The greater part of the meeting was taken up by the auditor's re- port. Mr. Monteith was present and made comments' on various.' items. • Qonmenting'on tax arrears he noted • that a steady increase was evident. His suggestion was that council should make the penalty heavier as they were legally entitled to 4% on arrears. He also said it might be a spur to hold a tax sale. Regarding investments Mr. Monteith said that on the whole all were good and sug- gested the coupons on Province of Alberta and Saskatchewan bonds should be clipped as he saw little hope of them rising. The records are 1 very well kept, he reported, and he had always found the books posted to date an his frequent visits to Clinton. Mr. Monteith also dealt at some length with surpluses in the Hydro and Waterworks departments. A short question period followed his report. Reeve Trewartha asked the proper procedure in selling debentures and was informed by Mr. Monteith that the Finance Committee should get prices and bring in their report. Council should then pass a motion authorizing the sale. In all cases there should be a covering motion' ratifying the -sale. Letters requesting grants were read as follows: Spring Fair $100;1 Clinton Hospital $500; Public Library $900. In all cases the grant asked was the swine •as in the previous year and on motion of Paisley -Agnew the grants were approved. Clinton Creamery in their com- munication. requested police protec- tion owing to the recent burglaries at their plant on. No. 4 Highway. The clerk was instructed to inform the management that by reason of location it would be impossible to furnish adequate protection. A request from Elwood Epps for a cigarette license Was granted,' to date from May 1st, the date of re- newal of all such licenses. The town solicitor replied to an inquiry in answer to a petition signed by local barbers. Boiled down, the substance of his communication was that the man complained against was not, in his opinion, liable to business tax. A letter from Mr. T. Leppington brought the only ripple on an others wise placid meeting. His letter was a direct charge of discrimination in reference• to work r and included the following queries: Why did Mr. Pais- ley give D. Elliott orders not to give me any time, meaning work on the lawn. (2) Why did he have Elliott bring me in to explain to him who put rue, to work when I was at the town dump. (3) Why did he say no to me when Reeve Trewartha sent me to shovel snow on the front street. To these inquiries Mr. Pais- ley made very brief replies. Regard- ing the latter he already had enough men when Mr. Leppington came. Mr. Elliott had been getting men for sanding work without authority of. members of Street Committee and. he had instructed him to discontinue,. this practice. •• Mu. Walker rose to defend. Mr - Paisley, saying he was present. when the names were chosen from. a. list. of men who had applied for w.ork.and. Me Leppington's name was not on. the • list. The gentleman ink Question, •s oke briefly before p y the meeting; adjourned. Some talk centred around. whether or not the town should open the. roadway to the dump. When. a man P was hired some seemed to be of the. opinion the responsibility was his.. Other discussion indicated that coun- cil considered it was up to the rink. manager to provide protection for his patrons and was not their re-- sponsibility. There's been many a postenotem on that 'Beaver -Colts encounter of last Friday night which upset cal- culations in this district. The Clinton boys were strong favorites to win and for the first few minutes of the game it looked as if those predictions might be right. In hockey you never can tell though and the Beavers can thank Messrs. Hubert and Stade mainly for the upset. Hub'ert's long 'shots from centre ice were Doak's downfall and Seaforth certainly got the breaks. Stade was almost super -human in his net minding and actually handled more rubber than Doak. Others seem to think that Doak left the net too often and that Clinton's defense did , not give hint enough coverage in the efforts to break down: the Beavers morale. Be that as it may the Sea - forth lads emerged victorious after sixty minutes of fast hockey. Two quick goals by Punch and Tim- mer McEwen looked mighty good for the Colts within ten minutes from the opener but within the next five minutes Hubert had lopped the lead down to nothing. A. MoFacldin made it 3-2 before the period ended. Sea- forth proved' superior again in the second and at the half way mark the score stood 5-2 in favor of Sea- forth with the Colts still battling persistently for another marker. Gibbs pounded hone Clinton's third goal with only four minutes to go in that second period. The large following of Clinton fans rang the rafters and shook loose the plaster when Young and Streets com- bined for Clinton's fourth goal within five minutes from the start of the final period to make the count 5-4 for Seaforth. It began to look like a comeback for the Colts and in our opinion they played their best hockey in this period. For the next ten minutes play seesawed up and down. Seaforth adopted defensive tactics and caused countless faceoffs by shooting the puck down the ice. When Flannery and McCallum combined' for Seaforth's sixth goal with only four minutes to play there wasn't much doubt of the outcome although there was no let up on the part of the Colts who pressed desperately in an effort to score. As this is written there is still some doubt as to when the return game will be played but no lack.of confidence that in spite of a-twa goal deficit the Colts will emerge the victors. The opinion here is that the Colts were "off" Friday night and will he able to coarse from behind in the deciding battle. Seaforth: Goal, Stade; defence, Hu- bert, Sills; centre, R.

HOCKEY TEAM At Lions Club. J ADVANCING Dr. H. • Thompson, field secretary of the Canadian Dental Hygiene• Council, addressed the Clinton Lions Club and guests at the regularmeet- ing Tuesday evening. Dr. Thompson, who was introduced by Dr. Shaw, paoved a very interest- ing and instructive speaker on the subject of "Dental Hygiene and Pre- ventative Dentistry.' He explained that the Canadian Dental Council is not sponsored by a group of dentists but by the federal government and every life insurance company in Can- ada, an annual grant of $7,000 hav- ing been made to the organization by the federal government for the past nine years. The guests present not including Lions were W. Walker, N. W. Tre- wartha and M. J. Agnew, members of Council; A. T. Cooper and E. Pat- arson representing the Collegiate Board; W. M. Nediger, G. E. Hall, C. G. Lobb and G. Murray, Public School; Holly Acres, M.P.P., Carleton County; Dr. J. W. Shaw, Dr. D. C. Geddes and Dr. Bryce of Zurich. Following a sheet business session presided over by the President Fred Ford, the meeting was conducted by Dr. McIntyre who called upon Dr. Shaw to introduce the guest speaker. Dr. Bryce of Zurich was the winner of the draw. The next meeting of the Club will be held March 19th, and will mark the annual visit of the District Gov- ernor, W. T. Carroll, Mitchell. April 2nd is Farmer's Night. A committee under the convenorship of W. L. Whyte willarrange for a prominent agricultural authority to be present as guest speaker. The C.C.L. hockey team added an- other win. to their record in WOSSA hockey yesterday. Meeting Wallace -- burg in London in. a sudden death. tilt the locals handed out a 7 -3 - shellacking. Now they will have to champ impatiently at the bit until a. winner is declared in the Preston- Hanover group. Hanover has one game in hand •and it is altogether likely they will be the next team for the boys to meet.
