WINGHAM FORFEITED RETURN GAME FOR LAST NIGHT • The Juveniles lied no trouble with the Wingham Juveniles Monday night in Wingham. After winning their group and putting out Listowel and Elora, the Wingham boys were con- sidered quite strong. .Wingham de- faulted their return game scheduled for last night. From the start of the game Clinton had little trouble, `scoring four in the first, five in the second and three in the third. Bartlif opened the scoring on a good passe front Colquhoun. Powell scored the second, then Me - Ewen was penalized and Biggs on a pass from Johnstone scored Wing - ham's first. McEwen and Bartliff got two more at the close of the period. In the second Rolfe Monteith hit his stride and scored four goals, as- sisted, by Powell !and McE'wen, Mc- Kenzie also getting ane for Clinton. Johnstone and Biggs each scored for Wingham near the end of the period. Colquhoun. and McKenzie were penal- ized in this period. The third was rather ragged and rougher. `Hamilt n -•scored for Wing - ham white,,AVronteith, MCEw•en and Barth scored for Clinton to make the core 12-4.

There is little doubt though that they will do their best to win and another good game is assured. Last Wednesday the locals were scheduled to'appear in Dutton and we were informed the game here' would be also off. However, Dutton! came to Clinton on Thursday and' just like all the rest, they too couldn't' cope with the power of the Clinton, teat. Tudor, Colquhoun, G. Monteith and Cook were too powerful on de- fence and J. Hawkins had more legs than a centipede when called upon to do his duty. Added to that, the strength of the forward lines proved too much as the score would indicate. R. Monteith led in scoring with four goals; Bartliff three, Colquhoun, Passmore, Thompson G. Monteith and McEwen each got one. Counter was outlucked on several occasions,•s but assisted on several of the e abo ve mentioned counters and led several of the rushes. Every man on the team played nice hockey and at the' conclusion of the game Dutton de- cided they had had enough and that a second game would not be neces- sary. Consequently their forfeit gave. tho in on team the right to meet Hanover in the finals. _ Dutton—Goal Keck; defence, Hill- man, Lucas; centre, Ruston; wings, Waterworth, Crawford; alts., Ninkle, Brown, Johnston, Johnston.

Return game at Clinton to- night (Thursday), BELIEVE HOG CHOLERA' CORNERED Few New Cases This Week Although a few new cases of hog cholera were reported at the Agri- cultural Office early this week, it is believed by Saturday the veterinar- ians in charge will have located all farms where the disease exists. Their work has been hampered badly by the condition of roads since they first started investigations. In many cases they have to walk considerable dis- tances and one man made a ten -mile cutter trip to a farm under suspic- 1 ion. Despite this the work has gone I steadily forward and it is believed the epidemic is now in hand. The outbreak should have no bear- ing on meat purchases as it is point- ed out the disease is not commune -i able to other animals nor human be- ings. Cooking of meat kills any germs which might exist and it is just as safe now to eat meat as l be- fore the outbreak. aster ATTHE fi j „Altt _ .. .t ... •tri WESLEY-WILLIS CHURCH Special Easter Services on Sunday, March 24th, 1940, 11 a.m. Divine Worship.

Huron and Bruce line, caused a derailment near Blyth Tuesday afternoon, of the deisel powered passenger train on its return trip. from Wingham to. London. Th two -car train lowed into the The p hard snow and the wheels of the diesel engine were lifted Clear of the track, but it stopped without damage or injury. Passengers were transfer - ed to a coach 'attached to the' after- noon, way, freight and arrived in Lon- don en tithe. Speakers Claim Liberal Government Has Fulfilled Promises. W. H. Golding, Liberal member for Huron -Perth, speaking here last night• in the interest of R. J. Deachman, said it was his opinion Mackenzie King and his Cabinet members had been most unjustly and unfairly crit- icized for their stand during the crisis' leading up to the war. He said that during the crisis the Canadian Gov- ernment was following events closely and working in harmony with Great Britain and France. Further, he said that while the press was clamoring for the Prime Minister to make a definite stand he was simply follow- ing with tate other Dominions. Proof of this would be found in the Question' paper in the British House of Com- mons. "Mr. King knew what he was doing then and he knows What he is doing now," he said. Replying specifically to the charges tinct Canadian troops were sent over- seas without proper equipment, Mr. Golding said lie was not denying or confirming that statement, He did however, ask his audience if in their opinion it was any wonder that the government should find itself without equipment. In peace time no one was going to keep uniforms around and there was little wonder the govern-' trent was caught unprepared. It was natural they should be short on some things. As a member of the committee sit- ting on the Bren Gun Contract having no less than 48 sittings, Mr Golding g gave a concise report to prove that the investigation prompted by Col, worthless. When had proved tv the time came for the Opposition to bring in their re ott they refused to submit that whenthey- do so. I sub re fused to bring in their report there was no scandal there," was Mr. Gold- ing sstatement, Furthermore, he said. the contract was made by the War Office amendments made and then again scrutinized by the War Office. Robert McDougall, K.C., of Wood- stock was the next speaker. IIe told of his personal respect for the can - Mute, R. J. Deachmart who has done much for the Liberal Party. His talk was chiefly to making comparisons of the government's fulfilment of prom- ises made in. the last elections in which he claimed ten of the fourteen platform points had been fulfilled, ' R. J. Deachran's speech was of necessity short, but to the point. He paid tribute to the qualities of Mn Golding _to whom he referred es "ones of the wisest and sanest men in the House today". Referring to Parlia- meet's dissolution, Mr. Deachenan said it was quite in keeping with the British Constitution. "It was the practical, commonsense thing to ask the people for their decision," was his claim in view of the criticism it was faced wit . Mr. Deachman submitted that not even the Conservative Party wanted Dr. Manion. "Where is Arthur. Meighan, Where is Howard Fere.- uson?" Mn Deachman asked, and contended by their silence they were of best exparessing their opinion the Conservative leader, Prather lie said the Liberal Party stands. for Liberal prin.ciples and Mr. Xing believes in strength through diversity. He asked his listeners to compare the record of the Liberal goverment over a period when they had been in power, IIe asked, "Can 11 trillion people be wrong five times out of six. Were you wrong when you returned the government. The record speaks for itself." His opponent in the present tam- paign was not belittled by Mr. Deach- man. He was he was a, fine fellow except in polities and would vote wrongly in reciprocity agreements. Citing as an example the market for coal, Mr. Deachman pointed out the error that Canadian coal could be purchased cheaper than U.S. as it costs more to transport coal 2,000 miles titan it does 200. Not only that but if we cut off our reciprocity agreements with the U.S.A. they in turn will do likewise and trade and commerce will of necessity suffer, I. worked at this full-time have ware d r as a t s job he said, through the press, by- radio yradio and by personal effort in an effort to improve the lot of lamas and will continue to do so, he said Deachman asked for a vote of confid- ence in the Prime Minister at the polls on Tuesday.

Golding, Liberal member for Huron -Perth, speaking here last night• in the interest of R. J. Deachman, said it was his opinion Mackenzie King and his Cabinet members had been most unjustly and unfairly crit- icized for their stand during the crisis' leading up to the war. He said that during the crisis the Canadian Gov- ernment was following events closely and working in harmony with Great Britain and France. Further, he said that while the press was clamoring for the Prime Minister to make a definite stand he was simply follow- ing with tate other Dominions. Proof of this would be found in the Question' paper in the British House of Com- mons. "Mr. King knew what he was doing then and he knows What he is doing now," he said. Replying specifically to the charges tinct Canadian troops were sent over- seas without proper equipment, Mr. Golding said lie was not denying or confirming that statement, He did however, ask his audience if in their opinion it was any wonder that the government should find itself without equipment. In peace time no one was going to keep uniforms around and there was little wonder the govern-' trent was caught unprepared. It was natural they should be short on some things. As a member of the committee sit- ting on the Bren Gun Contract having no less than 48 sittings, Mr Golding g gave a concise report to prove that the investigation prompted by Col, worthless. When had proved tv the time came for the Opposition to bring in their re ott they refused to submit that whenthey- do so. I sub re fused to bring in their report there was no scandal there," was Mr. Gold- ing sstatement, Furthermore, he said. the contract was made by the War Office amendments made and then again scrutinized by the War Office. Robert McDougall, K.C., of Wood- stock was the next speaker. IIe told of his personal respect for the can - Mute, R. J. Deachmart who has done much for the Liberal Party. His talk was chiefly to making comparisons of the government's fulfilment of prom- ises made in. the last elections in which he claimed ten of the fourteen platform points had been fulfilled, ' R. J. Deachran's speech was of necessity short, but to the point. He paid tribute to the qualities of Mn Golding _to whom he referred es "ones of the wisest and sanest men in the House today". Referring to Parlia- meet's dissolution, Mr. Deachenan said it was quite in keeping with the British Constitution. "It was the practical, commonsense thing to ask the people for their decision," was his claim in view of the criticism it was faced wit . Mr. Deachman submitted that not even the Conservative Party wanted Dr. Manion. "Where is Arthur. Meighan, Where is Howard Fere.- uson?" Mn Deachman asked, and contended by their silence they were of best exparessing their opinion the Conservative leader, Prather lie said the Liberal Party stands. for Liberal prin.ciples and Mr. Xing believes in strength through diversity. He asked his listeners to compare the record of the Liberal goverment over a period when they had been in power, IIe asked, "Can 11 trillion people be wrong five times out of six. Were you wrong when you returned the government. The record speaks for itself." His opponent in the present tam- paign was not belittled by Mr. Deach- man. He was he was a, fine fellow except in polities and would vote wrongly in reciprocity agreements. Citing as an example the market for coal, Mr. Deachman pointed out the error that Canadian coal could be purchased cheaper than U.S. as it costs more to transport coal 2,000 miles titan it does 200. Not only that but if we cut off our reciprocity agreements with the U.S.A. they in turn will do likewise and trade and commerce will of necessity suffer, I. worked at this full-time have ware d r as a t s job he said, through the press, by- radio yradio and by personal effort in an effort to improve the lot of lamas and will continue to do so, he said Deachman asked for a vote of confid- ence in the Prime Minister at the polls on Tuesday.
