J. Cameron, Wiarton, on Saturday afternoon, June 9th, as the result of a stroke which she suff- ered at her home here one week be- fore' her death. When Mrs. Cameron was notified of her sistr's illness she inirnediately motored to Wingharn and as Miss Struthers did not appear to be in a serious condition she took her to her home in Wiarton on Monday last week, in order that she might give her personal care, but the day following their arrival in Wiarton the patient was not so well and on Wed- nesday lapsed into unconsciousness from which she never revived. Al- though the deceesed had passed her SOth year she had been in the best of :health until very recently when she began to show signs of her advanced years, but was Ole to be around and was in her usual good spirits. She was a life-long member of the Presbyterian church. Miss Struthers had completed arrangementsto go to 'Wiarton for the purpose of making her hoine with Mrs. Cameron, where she had intended to spend the rest of tier life which was so unexpectedly cut off. The late Miss Struthers was born at Conestoga, in the County of Waterloo, in the year 1854, and as a very young girl moved with her par- ents to Glenelg township in the Coun- ty of Grey: After residing there for a short time the family moved to Ow- en Sound, where she lived until 1886, when she took up her residence here; where she made her home until the time of her fatal illness. She is sur- vived by one brother, Mr. R. B. Stru- thers, 12th street west, Owen Sound. Four sister, Mrs. M. M. Twigg, of Vancouver, 'B,C., Mrs. F. Ankcone, of, Palves, Wash., U.S.A., Miss Agnes k., "tethers of Battleford, Sask., and Mrs. . J. Cameron .of Wiarton. Two sisters and` two brother predeceased her within the past four years. The funeral was held Monday af- ternoon from the home of Mrs. S. J. Cameron, Frank Street, Wiarton, where the service was conducted at 2.80. In the absence of Rev, 5• V, Mills of St. Paul's Presbyterian. Chisrcb and of her own minister, Rev, :Kenneth MacLean, who are attending the General Assembly in Toronto, the service Was in charge of Rev. John McKillop' of St. John's United, after which the remains were taken to Ow- en Sound for interment in Greenwood Cemetery. The pallbearers were: 'Earry Henry, Albert Wilson, Walter Weatherspoon, all of Wiarton, and Sam Foods, Mel- vin Willits and Webster Willits, of Wittghatrt, CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE Foster Graham Moffat MIXED JITNEY WELL ATTENDED On Wednesday afternoon last week the official opening of the Bowling greens was held in the form of a mix- ed. jitney.

Kerr was elected chair- man of the open meeting and first called on Mr. Robertson. He attacked the present administra- tion, stating that we had a terrific burden of debt and taxation. • The County Rate is kept up by expense which these bodies could not control, such as ,law enforcement, cost of roads, high schools and civil service, He said costs of the above had in- creased 25 to 40% in all counties and over -sized police staffs were largely responsible which cost had risen from $200,000 to $1,000,000. He considered this unnecessary as people were just as law-abiding as they used'to be. The counties have lost control of the roads, he said, as they pay 20% • of the cost. He would not stand for roads being built unless the County Councils sanctioned them. He claim- ed that the debt of the province had risen from $300,000,000 in 1926 to $600, 000,000 in 1933 and because of this debt and the interest charges, the peo- ple's own borrowing power suffered. The banks would rather lend. to the Government at 5 and 6 per cent. than to individuals. Speaking of Farm, Loans he said they should be handled at 4t to 5% but now that election was near Henry was reducing the rate to 5%. He said the Government squandered money on roads that should be used for other purposes. This expenditure would pay the entire debt of the farmers of On- tario, he asserted. He classes as the Greatest Steal Perpetrated, the huge (Continued on page 4) LARGE CROWD HEAR PREMIER HENRY Says Hepburn Never.: Repudiated His Statement "I Swing Well to the Left" Appealed to Good Thinking" Liberals to Stand By Government. Over 1500 people were present in the Arena on Monday night to hear Hon. G. S. Henry, Premier of On- tario. He said the Government' was charged with extravagance but dur- ing his. eight .years as Minister of Highways every, part of the province demanded more than he gave in high- ways. He characterized Mr. Hepburn as a leader without .a manifesto and said. his only hope in this campaign is gen- eral depression. He agreed with Foster Moffat that the present government would con- tinue the study for zoning of power rates so that isolated sections would get power at lower cost. Speaking of farm loans he said that 17000 On- tario farmers had been loaned $50,- 000,000 50;000,000 the rate had been ,originally 6%, he had reduced it .5i%, and now proposes to go to 5% and lower as the Government can get money to go lower still. Thd farmers, he point- ed out, were the only people in On- tario singled out for special develop- ment. He appealed to all "good thinking Liberals to stand ` with the govern- ment for the preservation of the in- stitutions and ideals which Ontario had so long "treasured" and charact- erized Liberal Leader Hepburn's ap- Special Showing of Fox .Scarfs Beautiful silky full furred Pelts, rightly tailored in the Natural shape— Canada Red, Amber Brown and rich- ly Silvered.Skins at prices that should make a direct appeal to all women de- siring a lovely scarf of superior qual- ity.
