Urges "Yes" Vote Local Member Explains Situa- tion in Regard to Coming Plebiscite I ani anxious to see a splendid vote polled for the plebiscite on April 27th, I spoke over CKNK last week under the auspices of the Huron CouiitY War Service Committee and will appreciate it very much if you will give this space in your paper this week. Thanking you, I am, sincerely yours,' W. H. GOLDING, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Recite Audience: As the Executive of the Huron, County War Service ,Committee has. undertaken to organize our Ceunty for the purpose of securing a splen• did affirmative vote for the Plebiscite on April 27th, I have been invited by the Executive to speak to you this evening on this Plebiscite Vote, My first words this evening, there- fore, is to assure the Executive that I deeply appreciate their kindness in extending this invitation to me at this time, as 1 fully realize the fact that this Committee is definitely non- partisan and is only concerned with a successful prosecution of this Coun- try's war effort. I congratulate the Committee on the action they have taken, and which is a splendid example for all other Counties to follow.

Make sure that the voice of your friends and yourself are not silenced through sone carelessness or oversight. Our second duty is to see that ou the clay of the voting, every effort is made to record a huge affirmative vote,. We have heard a great deal about an, "All out war effort" Here, then, is your opportunity to oonvinoe the Government that nothing short of an "All out" war effort will satisfy the electors of this Dominion. In every appeal that has been made to you, your response has been magnificent, Your efforts in connection with the war loans and other phases of our determination to prosecute this Country's part in the war, to the limit of our ability, has been such that it has made me feel proud to be representing you in these critical and serious times.

Let us -then clearly understand and be prepared to discuss the foll- owing points: 1. You are nob called on to dec- lare whether you approve of the pol- icy of holding a plebiscite; you may denounce it as cowardly, contempt- ible and shameful or you may praise it as honest and statesmanlike, far- seeing and democratic but the ballot gives you no opportunity of express- ing either of these views. If you be- lieve that the Government should have assumed the responsibility .with- out recourse to a plebiscite, you will injure your own cause if you abstain from voting or vote "no" to indicate your disapproval. Your "yes" vote is the only means open to you of bring- ing pressure on the •government to. make the decision you desire. Y, • 0 i 0 t 0 e e 0 t e 0 a t 2, You are not called on by this plebiscite to declare whether or not you believe in conscription for over- seas now. An affirmative vote simply means that in the event of competent informed opinion concluding the de- feat of the Axis powers can best be obtained by the use of compulsion to ensure adequate forces to points where they can be of the greatest value, your government will not be held back by undertakings given un- der conditions which were entirely different from that which now exists. 3. You are not called on by this plebiscite to vote for o1' against the Government. Party' affiliations and political views should not affect your judgment as all parties in the House are asking for an affirmative vote on this plebiscite; at least that is the wish of the Liberals, Conservatives, C.C.F.'s and the Social Credit group. vt t ' An affirmativevote isnot vote for or the government nor is a negative one a condemnation. This is the answer, alike, to those who never voted for a Liberal government and to those'who fear an affirmative answer will em- barrass bhe Government by remov- ing the last obstacle to its making a difficult decision. 4. You are not called on to de- cide any question, other than wheth- er the government should feel free to follow a policy that may become necessary to ensure victory. The de- cision must not be affected by other considerations, Therefore, disregard points raised to distort your judg- ment on this one issue. We have certain sections of our people who denounce the government for coddl- ing Labour; other sections denounce it for being too hostile to Labour; others insist that all wealth should be conscripted or that this class or that class does not receive fair treat- ment. The plebiscite does not give anyone an opportunity to•record his views on such questions. The one question you willhave to answer is brief and definite and is as follows: "Are you in favour of releasing the government from any obligation arising out of past commitments re- strictingthe methods of raising men for military service," 5. You are not called upon to an- ticipate what the Government may or May not do in the event of an affirmative reply. If you feel that the Government should be released from any commitments already made then you should vote to relieve them. .As citizens,, this issue is ' definitely yours and your responsibility cannot be passed on to someone else.

This is our war as much as it is Britain's war, as much as it is, China's or Russia's or the war of the United States of America. It is more than that. It is a war of free people everywhere and of 'those seeking to regain their freedom. It is a war to prevent the world from falling back into the dark ages. En- lightened, self interest dictates our full partieipation, Finally, we must remember one thing above all else, the probable re- action of our Allies and of our ene- mies, to the result, We can analyze, discuss and explain the vote to our own satisfaction, at our leisure, but the re -action abroad will be immed- iate and conclusive. A substantial affirmative majority will be accepted as a de+nonat'atio'1 of national unity. A declaration that the Canadian people are ready to make the utmost sacrifice for the common cause. A- negative majority or even a substantial negative min- ority would be a veritable tragedy. Canada would be classed as largely Isolationist and neutral, if not open- ly anti-British and anti -Ally. The proud position which our Dominion :gained in She comity of ration, through the heroism of her sons and daughters in the years 11114 to 1911 would be sacrificed, Undoubtedly we would be. lowered in the eyes of all our democratic allies, - Therefore, let there be no doubt or complacency or apathy as the plebiscite approaches. Unanimity is us all tohopeletrbut to much fo o unite in an effort to roll up a 'major- ity that will silence Canada's critics, In conclusion, may I appeal to all Legions, Service Chubs, Chambers of Conuneree, Boards of 'trade Munici- •pal Copncils, County Councils. lead- ers in church work and all others, who in. any way take an interest in the welfare of our.country, co use .their influence and lend a helping hand in assisting this county's War Service.

Plant breeding is practiced in this garden, with the result that Mr, Brown' has four beautiful new var- ieties to his credit, "We avoid mixing the varieties by eternal vigilance and cultivating out all the bulbets by ro- tating the crops," he told one. "Those bulblets?" 1 inquired. "1 plant them. The best of then are preserved for my next year's regular planting. This is an all year job," he tells' you with a lively chuckle. "You make a charge for your flowers and bulbs?" "If I didn't Yd be overrun. But this is a pleasure and a hobby for me. Why make a toil out of it?" Mr. Brown has won prizes every- where he has shown, at Toronto, at London and at other large centres. His winning is based largely on the excellence of his plants, though his way of arranging and setting his beauties has a great deal to do with their attractiveness. "You must not have one plant straining at another," he tells you. "If you are exhibiting varieties of plants, break the strain by placing a white plant between hem." This is true, but it is also true that Mr, Brown has a notion of' n .ciilg and of proportioning heights of plants that is difficult to, talk about. Besides all this, lie has a way of plant arrangement that is peculiar to himself and that simply cannot be found in anyone but a real lover of nature.

Plant breeding is practiced in this garden, with the result that Mr, Brown' has four beautiful new var- ieties to his credit, "We avoid mixing the varieties by eternal vigilance and cultivating out all the bulbets by ro- tating the crops," he told one. "Those bulblets?" 1 inquired. "1 plant them. The best of then are preserved for my next year's regular planting. This is an all year job," he tells' you with a lively chuckle. "You make a charge for your flowers and bulbs?" "If I didn't Yd be overrun. But this is a pleasure and a hobby for me. Why make a toil out of it?" Mr. Brown has won prizes every- where he has shown, at Toronto, at London and at other large centres. His winning is based largely on the excellence of his plants, though his way of arranging and setting his beauties has a great deal to do with their attractiveness. "You must not have one plant straining at another," he tells you. "If you are exhibiting varieties of plants, break the strain by placing a white plant between hem." This is true, but it is also true that Mr, Brown has a notion of' n .ciilg and of proportioning heights of plants that is difficult to, talk about. Besides all this, lie has a way of plant arrangement that is peculiar to himself and that simply cannot be found in anyone but a real lover of nature. Little wonder that he has the wtll earned reputation of never hav- ing said an unkind word to his This genial Irishman is the ine.arnn- tion of gentleness and good taste.
