BAND CONCERT CANCELLED There will be no band concert in Victoria Park on Sunday evening, August 2nd. St.' Thomas' Anglican 11 a.m., Morning Prayer. Tho new rector, Rev. 3. James will be in charge. St. Marys, Dublin 9t80 a,m., Morning Prayer TWO CANDIDATES IN CONTEST FOR HURON Two MP's whose ridings were merged in the redistribution of elec- toral districts were nominated at Hensall on Monday to contest the new riding of heron in the Federal election August 10. Andrew Y. McLean;. Seaforth pub- lisher and former member for Hur- on -Perth, was nominated as Liberal candidate, Opposing him, ander the Progres- sive Conservative banner, is Elston Cardiff, Brussels, farmer and form- er MP for Huron North. There were no other nominations by the 3 p.m. deadline. J. K. Hunter, Goderich is return- ing officer for Huron Riding and presided over the nominations. The Liberal candidate, was first elected to Parliament in 1949. Mr. Cardiff was first elected in 1940 as Conservative member and be served three terms for Huron North. About 50 'persons turned out to hear the candidates present their party platforms following the offi- cial nomination meeting in Hensel] Town Hall. Mr. Cardiff charged the Liberals with an attempt to "gerrymander me out of my seat" by eliminating his old riding of Huron North. They would have scrapped entirely the grand old nein° of the County of Huron, he said. The riding should have been made up of Huron Coun- ty complete, instead the municipali- ties of Wingham, Howiek, Turnberry in the North were chopped off and Hibbert from Perth tacked on. Mr. McLean defended the redis- tribution, Frank Finglancl, Q.C., Clinton, was chairman for the debate that followed the close of the nominating period. By arrangement between the two parties, each of the two candi- dates was given 20 minutes to speak, with seven minutes rebuttal time after Mr. Cardiff spoke. During the past four years, said Mr. McLean, the Canadian economy "has been maintained at a ,particu- ly buoyant level. The benefits from this flow equally to all Canadians, regardless of their standing in the community." "The suggestion has been ad- vanced, improperly, I maintain," said Mr. McLean, "that the Govern- ment has purposely budgeted for a surplus over the past several years." The surpluses that have occurred in recent years, said Mr, McLean, were not the result of government budg- eting, but were the result of pros- perous conditions, which led to in- creasing tax revenues from an in- creasing volume of business. The Opposition has criticized the Liberal Government's handling of export trade, said Mr. McLean, and has been demanding a firmer trade policy in dealings with other nations. "The British market is not lost," Mr. McLean declared. "The market is there, and Britain certainly will again buy Canadian products." Mr. McLean called attention to the new policy of the Liberal Gov- ernment, which assists municipali- ties by giving grants in lieu of mun- icipal taxes, for some Dominion in- stallations. As a grant in lieu of municipal taxes on R.C.A.F. sta- tions, he said, a total of $2,500 is now being shared by the townships of Stephen, Usborne, and Tucker- smmth, and the county of Huron. "I agreed with nearly everything be said," observed Mr. Cardiff when he spoke immediately follow- ing Mr. McLean. "I think my op- ponent expounded things just as truthfully as he could. But there isn't any question in my mindthat if we had had an efficient govern- ment, we could have paid off twice as much as $2,000,000,000 of the na- tional debt. There is no shadow of a doubt that they have been spend- ing money foolishly. It stands to reason that after 18 years in .power they have collected quite a lot of heelers. The only people I find who don't think it's time for a change are those who are feeding off the Government, who are getting money from the Government." There can be no doubt that the Liberal Government has been wast- ing money, said Mr. Cardiff, when it is realized that thetown of God- erich can get its ashes collected for $4,200 a year, while the military camp at Petawawa, with a simpler and easier ash collection ' problem because of big central heating sys- tems, is spending $18,600 a year for ash collection. Mr. 'Cardiff cited the spending of more than $2,000,000 for an office building for the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, "which is supposed to be building houses for people who need them, and the add- ed expenditure •of $2,500 for a spring dance floor in the C.M.H.0. office building. "The Government won't admit that they have wasted money." said Mr. Cardiff. "They won't admit that taxes could be any lower." Income tax, as it is administered by the Lib- eral Government, "is a bugbear to many farmers," said Mr. Cardiff, "It's time to clean up the mess, and it can't very well •be cleaned up .by the .party in power," Prime Minister St, Laurent is •on shaky ground, said Mr, Cardiff, when he undertakes to predict that under a !Conservative Government there would be a drop in 'government bond 'prices, Tho fact is, said Mr, GORDON MESSENGER WOUNDED IN KOREA Gordon A. Messenger has received a shrapnel wound in the right elbow, according to word received on Fri- day morning by his mother, Mee. Margaret Messenger, Egmondville, The wound is not serious, the mes- sago stated. Gordon has been with the Canadian Army in Korea since this spring, having enlisted about a year ago, He served in the navy during World War II.

The gardens were judged on a ba- sis of general appearance, freedom from weeds, diseases, and insects; state of cultivation, quality and yield of vegetables, and contribu- tion of flowers to home surround- ings. Most of the gardens judged re- vealed much time and effort spent by the gardeners; rows were gener- ally well weeded and cultivated. In spite of heavy rains early in the sea- son that held back planting, the ve- getables were remarkably well ad- vanced, and many girls were using lettuce, radishes, peas, beans, beets and carrots. Tomato and corn plants showed good growth throughout the county.
