Kennedy to lead the Provincial Legislature at the next session, was passed at a largely attended meeting of the Progressive Conservative executive of the riding of Huron held in the Carnegie Library, Seaforth, on Friday night. Four delegates and four alternates were named to attend a meeting in Toronto on Saturday, October 30th,, when a date will be set for a pro- vincial convention to .elect a perma- nent leader ermanent'leader to succeed Hon, George Drew: Clare Westcott, Seaforth; Robt, Smith, Goderich Twp.; Reeve Elmer Webster, Stanley; E. Jack Green, Exeter; Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Tre- wartha, Clinton; James McQuaid, Mc- Killop; Douglas Pryde, Exeter. Mr. Thomas Pryde, M.P.P., and Elmer Bell, K.C., Exeter, will also be dele- gates by reason of their offices. Mr, `Elmer D. Bell presided at the meeting. Mr. Pryde explained that cion. Mr. Kennedy in accepting the position of Acting Premier, had stated he would not bo a candidate for leader at he convention. However, many Conservatives, particularly in the agricultural ridings, feel that Mr. Kennedy should be given the honor of leading the House through one ses- sion. It would be a graceful tribute to the Acting Premier who has served the cause of agricultgre with distinc- tion, he said. The meeting unanimous- ly endorsed Mr. Pryde's suggestion. Mr. Russell Bolton of McKillop told of the tremendous ovation accorded Hon. T. L. Kennedy at the recent pro- vincial plowing match at Lindsay when he made his first public address as Premier. Members of the executive of the Federal riding of Huron -Perth were also present and there was discussion about holding a nominating conven- tion this fall or leaving it until spring. Mr. Bell said a meeting had been set for this month at Mitchell, being later postponed. The opinion of the meeting was that a candidate should be named early, but decision regarding a date was Left in the hands of the chairman. It was considered probable the convention would be held next spring. Mr, Bell told of the enthusiasm at the Ottawa convention, and dealt with riding matters. ' Mr. Pryde also reviewed the Ottawa convention and he sounded a grave warning against the threat of Com- munism, Anglican Sunday, October Thirty -First: +(5th Sunday in the month and the Eve of All Saints' Day).

EC1MONDVILLE BLACKSMITH ' SHOP IS BURNED Fire of unknown origin destroyed , one of the oldest landmarks in Eg$hhondville, the Racho blacksmith and machine: shop, early Tuesday morning. The fire had gained so, great headway before it was discov-1 ered that nothing could be done to save the building, and efforts of the ,Seaforth Fire Brigade were concen- trated on saving the nearby frame garage building of Mr. Jack Mac- Lean. The loss is estimated at around, $6;000, which is ,partly covered by about $2600 insurance. Nothing was sar ed. A new portable electric weld- ing machine was destroyed, along with all the -tools and equipment of the machine shop 'which was pur- chased by Iiir. James Racho about a year ago from the late Alex. Li•l- lice. The fire was first noticed by Charles Kruse around 4 a.m. and the flames were coming through the roof at that time. Mr. Kruse ran in his night attire across to the Jack- son home and aroused the family and the alarm was telephoned in. Seaforth Fire Brigade quickly re- sponded, first obtaining permission from Councillor B. Christie to take the fire truck outside the town. The blacksmith shop was too far gone to save it, and water from the 500 gal- lon tank on the pumper truck was sprayed on the frame garage build- ing about ten feet away. As no water was available in the village, the fire truck made a trip up to Sea - f orth for another tank full of water. The prompt .action of the Seaforth fire brigade saved the other build- ing in the vicinity. Some of the firemen had a narrow escape when one of the walls of the building fell. The building was built over 100 years ago by the late Thomas Hill who conducted a blacksmith and car- riage business. It was equipped with three forges or fires in the early days, and had served the community continuously. Thomas Hill was suc- ceeded by his son George, who dis- posed of the business some years ago to Alex. Lillico. About fifty-three years ago the frame building was covered with a brick veneer, accord- ing to Chas. Kruse, who with his brother Richard had the contract. Plans are being made to help Mr. Racho get started again in business as, soon as possible. ' W. I. NOTES There will be a bale of good clean used clothing packed about Nov. 1.

Yes, an answer to my last week's question and plea came up rather unexpect- edly, when on the stage appeared thirteen boys. (This proves that boys aren't superstitious.)
