Elmer Bell, Q.C., Exeter, pre-
sented 3 resolutions for approv-
al. First, a resolution of grati-
tude to Hon Geo. Drew for the
untiring efforts he had made on
behalf of the party during the
years of his leadership. The se-
cond resolution was to affirm
our loyalty to the crown and to
the B r i ti s h commonwealth.
There was no doubt he said that
the commonwealth was the origin
and protector of our institutions
and liberties. The third resolu-
tion expressed the organiza-
tion's confidence in thenew lea-
der' -John Diefenbaker, and con-
fidence that he soon would be
prig minister. These resolu-
tions were seconded by [Russell
Bolton, of McKillop, and car-
ried.
Dr. E. A. McMaster of Sea -
forth presented the nominating
committee's slate of officers.

Miss Dorothy Parke, •Seaforth,
• and treasurer, Earl Mills, ale-
Killop. The meeting approved
these appointments along with
the list of directors for ' each
municipality.
J. W. Murphy of Lambton
said it was the consensus of op,
inion in Ottawa that Mr. Dief-
it enbaker would be the next
4. (prime minister of '(Canada. In
Western 'Ontario there were 19
ridings with the Conservatives
at present holding 10 seats, and
he (predicted they would win 16
in the election. From all reports
in Ottawa said the speaker our
party was never in a better• po•
sitian.
"Elston and d have known each
other for many years and he
is a very efficient anem+ber,"
said Mr. dlfunphy.
Mr. Murphy said he and Mr.
Cardiff had played an important
part in saving the sugar beet in-
'dustry when a serious attach
had been made upon it a few
e years ago. The sugar beet in-
dustry meant 12 million a year
to the economy' of Western On-
tario
ntario producers, he said.
(More recently the Conserva-
tive members from western On•
tario did effective work con-
cerning
oncerning the lamprey eel which
was crucifying the fishing in
dustry in the great lakes. The
government had proposed to
wipe the lamprey out of lake

town of Wingham in the county.
This was due to . ;a . move the

Local' Film Council
Formed at Seaforth
An organization committee for
a local Film Council was named,
with Rev. D. Glenn Campbell,
chairman, and Mrs., Gordon Mac-
Kenzie, secretary, at a meeting of
group representatives from local
organizations held at the public
library in ,Seaforth on Tan. 23rd.
The purpose of the gathering
was to discover if local organiza-
tions were sufficiently interested
in setting up a Huron County
Film Council similar to those
which already exist in the -neigh-
boring counties of Bruce and
Grey.
R. E. Taylor, Hanover, District
Representative of National Film,
Board, addressed the meeting.
The purpose of such a council
would bo to provide films to meet
the needs of local organizations,
to train projectionists from these
groups to operate the projector,
and teach them some principles
of showmanship.
The local council,, composed of
a member from each interested
group, would be held responsible
for repair and storage of films
that would be left on deposit in
the local library each month.
No set membership has been
established at present, but one
similar to Grey and Bruce . coun-
ties was suggested:
Organizations $10.00 'year,
Churches, films to be used by
all groups, $15.00 a year.
Charges, consisting of three
churches, $25.00 a year.
Rev, J. Semple and Rev. 5, H.
James volunteered their services
in promoting the idea. The chair-
man and secretary were appoint-
ed Seaforth representatives to a
county meeting to be held at
Clinton San, 30th,
All interested groups are asked
to appoint a member to act as
their projectionist, who will at-
tend training class Feb. 20 at 2.30
p.m. in Seaforth public library;
also to appoint a representative
to attend the organization meet-
ing whiclf will follow at 4.15 pan.
To aid the committee Me. Tay-
lor placed in Seaforth library, a
block of 12 films which are at the
disposal of any interested group.
Rev. J. H. James volunteered his
time and projector to any group
who donot own a projector and
wish to take advantage of these

ger was on the trigger and the
gun discharged.
The pellets struck James in the
left chest. He was only a few
feet from the enol of the barrel.
Mr. Love, who was in the kit-

novations for church and manse.

been expended and a balance of

121st anniversary of the church
was celebrated. The special of-
fering of $1,304.59 which in-
cluded $38.1.59 from former
members and friends was most
gratifying, The proceeds of the
supper held at that time amoun-
ted to $981.25. Mr. Robinson
attributed the success of the an-
niversary in large part to Dr.
Semple's leadership and enthus-
iasm. (Miss Rena McKenzie pre-
sented the auditor's report,
which showed a 'total expendi-
ture of $10,698.58 and a bal-
ance in all funds on hand of

Mr. Ivy Henderson expressed
the sincere. appreciation of the
whole congregation to Dr. and
Mrs. Semple for their inspiring
leadership and for the deep in-
terest they are taking in the
different organizations of the
church. A further .evidence of
the congregation's high esteem
for Dx. and ?Mrs. Semple, was
,the unanimous approval of a
motion,:'that an increase of $200
be anade in Dr. iSemple's salary.
Dr. Semple expressed his thanks
for this, ,andfor all the co-oper-
ation and •kindness they had re-
