The result of this self con- centration and a love for•good books W. H. G,OLDING stood Mr. Golding in good stead when, he entered political and municipal life.

Deachman of Wingham, who seeks re-election as a Liberal member for the riding of North Huron is a man who has made a thorough study of , economics and trade agreements. He is a man who has made a name for 'himself in re- cent years through his journalistic efforts which have covered a wide scope, particularly in the relationship, of the fas'm.er to the economic situa- tion existing in Canada. Mr. Deachman is appealing to the electors of North Huron on the record of the King at:ministration. in the past five years. He thoroughly be- lieves that agreement which have gone into effect since the King Gov- erment took office in 1936, have proven of great profit to the farmer of Huron. County in finding a ready market for beef in the Unitell States. He stands behind his leader in the contention that Canada's war effort warrants the people of Canada re- turning the King Government at the polis on March 26. Born in Gerrie, Huron county in the year 1878, Mr. Deachman, better known as "Bob" to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, is a son of Robert Deachman and Jane Wilson and he is proud of his Scottish an- cestry. After completing his primary and high school education, Mr. Deach- man went to the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph and graduated with the degree of B,S.A. Turns To Writing Upien his graduation he found him- self keenly interested in the story which is told by statistics and in writing articles. So the natural thing for him to do was to start to write. For some time Mr. Deachmamdworked on the Farmer's Advocate at London and for years he was a steady con- tributor to a number of agricultural papers, Mr. Deachman was first elected as a member of parliament et the gen- eral elections in 1935, being the suc- cessful candidate in a three -cornered fight, with a Congervative and a Re- construction candidate seeking hen - ors at that time.

In 1910 Mr. Deachman was married to Miss Elizabeth Grant of Guelph and they have two children. Mr. Deachman is a member ,of the United Church of Canada. Reviving the Story ©f Nurse Edith Cavell Nurse Edith Cavell was one of the noblest women in a noble profession. A life of unselfish service and sacri- fice ended when she died before a German firing squad at Brussels on a chill October dawn in 1915, writes Trevor Allen in Women's Own Mag- azine. Born in 1866, she spent her girl- hood at the quiet rectory of Swardes- ton, near Norwich, where her father was rector for forty years, and went to a school at Brussels. When the Rev, Frederick Cavell died, the fam- ily moved to Norwich. Edith resolved to become a nurse and minister to. the• poor. In September, 1895, she entered' the London Hospital as a probation- er, remained there .nearly five years, then became night superintendant at St. Pancras Infirmary. She had a grilling apprenticeship to hard, disciplined duty. She was earnest, conscientious, heart and soul in fuer work; she taught and lectured; and won the admiration of all who came in touch with her, Went To Brussels In 1906 she was offered the post of matron at the Berekendael In- stitute, a surgical and medical home in Brussels. Here site lectured and trained pupils, tended the sick, super- vised the operating theatre. in the summer of 1914, she heard the grave tidings of war and the German in- vasion nvasion of Belgium. The Institute became a Red Cross hulepital under her direction, dedi- cated to service to the wounded. Liege fell to the invader. Refugees streamed pitifully back. By August 20 the Germans were at the gates of Brussels; there troops marched in, some so weary that they dropped and slept in the streets, Nurse Cavell wrote: "We were divided between pity for these poor fellows, far from their country and their people, suffering the weariness and fatigue of an arduous campaign, and hate of a cruel and vindictive foe bringing ruin and desolation to a peaceful land." Suffering Humanity Under the German heel„ Brussels became a grim city cut off from the outside world, the Belgian populace an afflicted people. At the hoospital. wounded Belgians, Germans, French and English were tended equally, for it is the Red Cross creed that suffer- ii.g humanity knows no distinction. Only when Nurse Cavell, was ordered. to guard as well as tend the wounded did she rebel. "We will do all wecan to help them recover from their evounds," she said, "but be their gaolers— never!" It washer first stand against the German tyrants, who repelled her with their brutality. From that moment she was hated. The Ger- eral who confronted her banged his fist on the table in fury. "He looked as 1'! he would like to shoat me dead," she told one of the sisters. When she heard of the cruel treat- ment of Belgian, French and Eng- lish prisoners and refugees — how some had been lined up against a 'wall and shot — .her strong com- passionate sympathies impelled her to help them. She became linked up with a secret organisation for helping refugees and prisoners with food, clothing and money and smug- gling them across the frontier into Holland. Hid in Cellar Moving spirits in the organisation, with its chain of hiding places, were the Prance and Princess Marie ,de Croy of Belignies, the Comtesse de Belleville, a French priest, a well- known Belgian architect. Nurse Cav- ell permitted a secret cellar in the hospital to be used for harbouring the fugitives. As many as thirty might be hidden there at one time At intervals they were snuggled out at night, committed to the care of guides, and escorted by stages to the frontier. Some stowed away on a canal barge plying between Belgian and Holland. The strain on. Nurse Cavell was severe, yet she carried on the work, in .addition to her arduous hospital duties, for nearly a year. But she had long been suspected. The Ger- mans laid traps, insinuated spies in- to the organisation. One evening in August, 1915, a year after the out- break of war, she was bandaging the wound of a German soldier when an escort burst into the ward, arrested her, and marched her .off to the St. Gilles military prison. Cloaked in Secrecy For ,two months she languished in gaol while Baron; von Biseing, Gover- nor-General of Belgium, and Baron von der Lancken, German Political Minister in Brussels, fabricated a ease against her which would war- rant the death penalty. Intercession,- by Mr. Brand. Whitlock, the Americ- an Minister, was met with rebuffs. DON'T KILL YOUR VOTE' There are nnaiiy poseibio errors that disqualify the elector's vote in the Dominion election. March 26th. Sometimes voters find their "X" op- posite the wrong candidate, cross it out and try again. Such a ballot is rejected. The correct procedure is to ask for a new ballot. In the present election, too, any civilian who takes the active service elector's privilege' of writing the name of his choice on the ballot also kills his vote. County Purchases $8,000 Caterpillar Grader New Machine One of Latest Models -- Versatile in Operation The County road commission on Friday last purchased the latest model caterpillar motor grader at a cost of agproxim'ately $8,000. The commissionwas in session ,most of the day and adjourned to Tuesday of this week to c omplete its routine work. The new Motor grader is one of the latest and largestmachines of its kind and can be used for either main- tenance or construction work, also snowplowing if needed. It is a tan- dem four-wheel drive with twelve- foot reversible blade, six speeds ahead and two back. Versatility of operation is the feature of the ma- chine. The blade can be extended to one side for ditching or used perpen- dicularly for widening a read through a "cut" by cutting down the banks. Instead of turning the machine round the blade is reversed. These, are only a few of the features. It is a Diesel oil -burner of 66 horse -power. The rubber tires are 12.75 and 24 inches.. The purchase was made, from Gen- eral Supply Co., Toronto. The ma- chine is manufactured in Peoria, Ill. Four other firms were unsuccessful tenderers. Reeves Roland Grain, of Turnberry (chairman), J. A. Scott of Seaforth and George Armstrong, of Hay, with Warden Feagan, compose the commis- sion. The whole proceedings were cloaked in a •secrecy worthy of the Spanish Inquisition, Nurse Cavell made no attempt to deny the part she had played in help,- ing these victims of German aggres- sion; she did it in the name of her of her merciful calling and human- ity. With other leaders of the or- ganisation she was tried by a milit-. nary court camera in October. Site was resolute, unflinching. Asking why she had helped soldiers to escape to England, she replied: "If I had not done so they would have been shot. I thought I was only doing my duty in saving their lives." Pleadings in Vain Judgement was pronounced secret- ly and every effort made to keep the whole grim affair private until after the execution. During that fateful evening of October 11, how- ever, news that Nurse Cavell was to die that night, or in the early hours reached the American Minister, Ill in bed at the time, he sent his secret- ary, Mr. Hugh Gibson., to plead earn- estly for her life with German auth- orities, and addressed a personal note to Van der Lancken: "I appeal to the generosity of your heart to support it and save this unfortunate woman from death. Have pity on: her!" To Von Biasing also he sent a note pointing out that she had been treat- ed with more severity than had oth- ers in similar circumstances. Only her own straightforwardness had en- abled the charges against her to be proved. All these, and further pleadings by the Spanish Ambassador, were in vain. Late that night the British Chaplain in Brussels, the Rev. H.S.T, Gahan, saw the condemned woman in her cell. She was wain and ee- eigned. She told him she willingly gave her life for her country, and said: "I have no fear nor shrinking. I have seen death so often that it is not strange or fearful to me. I' thank God for this ten weeks' quiet before the end, Life has always been hurried. and 'full of difficulty. The time of rest has been a great mercy. They have all been very kind to me here. But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity: I realize that pat- riotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness toward any- one." "Abide With Me" He administered Holy Communion, her last sacrament and consolation. He spoke the words of the hymn, "Abide With Me," and she joined in the last verse: Hold Thou Thy cross before nay closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain, shadows flee; In life, in death, 0 Lord, abide with me, Dawn. The bleak execution ground on the outskirts of Bruseds. A fearless woman in the uniform of service and sacrifice facing the fir- ing squad, her eyes unbandagrd, her hands unbound, at her own wish , , . 'It was( believed after-dvards, 'that the squad, bating the fell task al" executing such a woman, purposely aimed high. She swooned and fell. The officer stepped forward' and shot her dead.

Support National Government ACTIVE IN MUNICIPAL LIFE OF OWN COUNTY While Lewis Easton Cardiff is tossing His bat into the political ring for the first time, as a National Gov- ernment candidate in North Huron, he is a man .who has been prominent in municipal circles of Huron county for some years. Last year, long before the election of March 26 was announced from Ottawa, the Conservative Association of the riding nominated Mr. Cardiff to be the standard-bearer in a federal election, which at that time was ex- pected to take place this summer. Mr. Cardiff, who operates an up- to-date farm in Morris Township, a short distance from the village of Brussels, is appealing to the electors of the North Huron riding ]a support of Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, leader of the National Conservative party in Canada, advocating a National Gov- ernment for the duration of the war. The North Huron• candidate is also appealing to the farmers for their support, his contention being that he, as a farmer, should be their repre- sentative in the Dominion Govern- ment at Ottawa. The National Government candi- date has lived in the township of Morris all his life. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Cardiff. He received his early education in a Mor- ris rural school and then attended High School in. Brussels. He has al- ways been interested in municipal af- fairs and was among the youngest members of the Huron county coun- cil when he first took his place as reeve of Morris in the year 1932. But not long before that he had been elected to the township council in the year 1923. As a member of the Huron county council for the past eight years, Mr. Cardiff served in important capacities on that body. In the years 1934 and 1939 he was chairman of the Agri- cultural Advisory committee and in 1987 was chairman of the Good Roads Committee of Huron Comity. For many years Lewis Elston Car- diff was . an active worker for the former North. Huron Conservative Association, having held various of- fices. When the association fell in. line with the plan of a National Gov- ernment as the chief platform in the election campaign, Mr. Cardiff was chairman of the township of Morris branch. Mr. Cardiff married Miss Ida May Morrison of Wroxeter, He is a mem- ber of the United Church at Brussels. • "I am in this fight because I feel we should have a change of govern- ment in Canada and because I feel that a National Government at a time of war and crisis would best serve this Dominion in the prosecution of the war," said Mr. Cai:diff. eSR TAKE CHARACTER PICTURES Character studies make interesting, truthful pictures—well worth having in your snapshot collection. CHARACTER studies 'make inter- esting Motives. Choose a sub- ject whose face is sharked by char- acter and experience, and you have opportunity for a real picture—per- haps a whole series of pictures. Elderly persons are usually chosen for character studies—but there's no reason why a younger• person can't be used, or even a child. For example, a picture of Johnny pouting over his spinach, or trying to puzzle out an especially hard problem in arithmetic. Try to make your picture truthful to the character. Sometimes the face alone is sufficient for the picture. In other cases, you may want to show the subject in Iris or her normal set- ting. For example, a sweet-faced grandmother in her favorite chair by the window, 'busy with her sew- ing basket. 'These (accessories, the basket and chair, would help explain the subject. They would also add truth and natural quality to the pic- ture. When the face only is shown, a plain background is best. With most cameras, you will have to include move than ,the, subject's head. How- ever, when an enlargement is made, everything except the head can be masked out. The picture above was enlarged In that manner—the origi- nal negative included the subject Brom the waist up. Character pictures can be taken indoors or out. It's fun to take them indoors with photo lights, for then you can try different lighting ef- fects, end choose the one that brings out the subject's character to best advantage. St's also fun to create characters for pictures, by means sof costume and make-up. Dig down into the family trunks or storage boxes, and find some old-fashioned ,dresses or outmoded sults. Have membors of the family dress up in these, and pose for a series of "old .family al- bum" pictures. Also, try creating characters—such as a pirate, or an old-thne scissors grinder. This isn't difficult, for with a little cleverness, you can improvise various costumes easily, just from materials you find around the house. Making character studies will de- velop your skill as a'photographer— and lt's a type of picture -taking you should know. Try it—you'll have plenty of fun, 270 John van Guilder t( Has Found Politics,. Interesting Study, James W. Morley, the National:" Government candidate in the riding - of Huron -Perth, does not hesitate in saying that the only reason he is in the fight is because of his sincere be- lief in the need of a national gov- ernment in Canada at this time of crisis in the history of the Dominion.. The young lawyer from Exeter told those gathered at open nomination . convention held in Hentsall that it was only after much thought he had decided to accept the nomination, He has pledged support to the leader of the National Conservative party, Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, who is seek- ing election in Canada on a national . government platform. Janes W. Morley has not long been , in politics, although he admits he has been interested in that study since his days at school. Born in the vil- lage of Exeter en June 21, 1904, he is the son of John and Emily Morley, After completing studies at the Pub- lic and High Schools in Exeter, Mr. Morley went to Toronto to attend Osg'oods Hall. It was in 1926 that ha graduated and almost immediately moved back to Exeter, there to prac- tise in partnership with Isaac IL Car- J. W: MORLEY ling, K.C., who passed away in 1934..

Mr. Morley is a member of the Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church of Exeter, He is unmarried. James W. Morley is a well-known. man in and around Exeter and since the day of the Hensall nomination he his been around the riding becom- ing acquainted At his nomination, Mr. Marley said he had nothing what- soever against his opponent, W, H. Golding, of Seaforth, and declared at that time this his campign would 'not be one of "mud -slinging," but one of peeseutatian of facts to the Canadian electors. A $10,000 EGG All manner of Easter -eggs are now on view, but not one will be quite like the egg of the Aepyornis titan, the largest species of bird that ever lived, This egg weighed about a quarter of a hundredweight, The only one now left was recently sold to an American egg collector for nearly $10,000, It Was originally found floating down a rives.' by a native of Mada- gascar, where the ten - foot - high aepyoenis roamed, and had probably been washed out of the ground high- er up the, stream. The egg is a foot long by telt inches across at its big end, with a shell an eighth of an inch thick. It is even larger than the dinosaur eggs found in Mongolia during the Roy: Chaeman Andrews expedition._
