In the short interval allowed, it has been im- possible to see all the electors, but I have made an • effort to meet those in the part of the riding new to me, to the apparent neglect of my friends who have been so faithful on two previous occasions. To all the electors I make this appeal. The Debt of the Province is $600,000,000. Ten years ago it was $300,000,000, an increase of $300,000,000. At 5% that means an increase in in- terest of $15,000,000 in the last 10 years. The debt must be stopped and interest rates reduced or we will be unable to carry the load. It can be done by a change of Government. The Henry Government Bond issues at 5y2% and 6% interest established a prohibitive rate for other borrowings, stifling industry, mercantile life, building and farm activities. A change of Government will mean a cheap- er money and a renewal of activity. In 1933 the Government collected over $20,- 000,000 in cold cash from the motorists of the pro- vince for road construction, besides $2,300,000 from the counties and cities as their share of construc- tion of provincial highways.. The Government paid back in cash to the counties and townships a little over $3,129,000 be- sides $9,000,000 interest on our road debt. What became of the other $10,000,000. A change of Government will stop reckless expenditure and impose taxation only sufficient to meet road expenditure and interest on the Road debt of $188,000,000, a debt which very few people •knew existed.. The administrative cost of Government at Oueen's Park is out of all sense or reason. Great economies can and will be effected without impair- ing any of the serviecs. The Civil Service list can be reduced. We have 10 Cabinet Ministers, 11 De- puty Ministers, 10 Commissions and numerous boards besides superintendents,' chairmen and ex- pert advisors, a staff sufficient to govern the whole Dominion. This can be simplified by a change of Gov- ernment Hydro, our greaest asset, was made possible by the credit of the province. A more equitable dis- tribution of costs should obtain, thus making the Service within the reach of all and helping to build up local industry. Again a change of Government would help. •• If the farming industry is to be saved, low- er interest rates must be given through the. Agri- cultural Developement Board, thus bringing pay- ments on a par with the price of farm commodities. The cost of Administration of Justice and Law enforcement through the province has increas- ed tremendously during the last 10 years and Mun- icipalities and County Councils have been forced to bear the burden with little or no means of redress. The country is overrun with officials. A new Government can give you lower tax- • ation and cessation of debt increase by economy of administration and efficient management. Fiydro (l'an be given to the people at a more equitable rate and our schools made more efficient for the every - clay life of the people. A real Minister of Education 'should be,in charge. • These are just a few of the things upon • which we ask your support on the 19th of June. It is your fight as well as mine. Sincerely yours, • . ."... " C. A. ROBERTSON EAST WAWANOSH • COUNCIL Council 'met on June 4th as a Court of Revision on the Assessment Roll, all the members being present, Hav- ing been dilly constituted as a Court, • the Clerk reported only one appeal as being received, that of Mary. A, El- liott, Part Lot 42, Con, 14, who con- sidered she was assessed too high. Council, however, thought otherwise, and this assessment was eonfirmed, John T, Scott was 'assessed as owner of the 'Wt1. Lot 36, Cott. 8, in place of A. M.

A. Porterfield, Clerk, LUCKLESS HURONS DROP ANOTHER Goldsmith Too Good for Local Youngsters. • Saturday, with its rain for the far- mers, pay checks for the workers and business for the stores, may have been a day of joy •for the aforementioned gents but it was just another pain in the neck for the local Bruce League ball -tossers. Dawn had hardly arriv- ed before the Hurons got their first solar -plexus blow of the day, the de- finite refusal of the lordly and puri- tanical 0.13.A,A. to let Bob, Chalmers play here, despite Bruce League ap- proval. And what the dawn did to the tribe was nothing to what Hector (Lefty) Goldsmith and his •champion Fishermen did to them later in the day, the great southpaw painting the Redskins with a beautiful coat of whitewash, to win 5-0. It was ilec's second straight shut -out in three days and the big crowd went away fully, satisfied that they had seen a great pitcher on the hill. • But great as Goldsmith was, even a bit greater was the fine, if unexpect- ed, effort turned in by Joe Tiffin, the Hurons in -and -out right bander. As long as Tiffin keeps ahead of the bat- ters he is mighty hard for any team to beat and Joe seldom got in the rut and, while all the boys are very fond on Saturday. But for a bit of hard of the bespectacled pitcher, a win luck Joe would have tied the mighty sive doubles by Kugler and Gold,- Southampton 5 Wingham -,„ ... ... -.0 smith aecount for the final two runs. • Chesley 11 Owen Sound Lucknow .. „.6 Paisley 4 * * Dick Doran featured the fielding with two catches of foul -balls that were dandies—from a South, view- point. Dick makes a fitting battery - mate for the great Goldsmith, * * * * While the locals made three costly •errors, many of the fans expressed satisfaction with the local youngsters' sbovving again such strong and proven opposition as the Ontario Champions afforded. It is too bad the Fishermen only have one game scheduled for for here. Let's hope the Hurons meet them again in the play-offs, * * * Another great game is in store for the fans today (Wednesday) when the fast -going Walkerton Capitols step into town to take on the Hurons in a game that the locals absolutely must win. * * * * The crowds have not been up to expectation and as it costs real mon- ey,' to operate in a league that takes in as much territory as the Bruce, it behooves every real citizen to help the boys keep Wingham on the sport map, where it should be. * * * * The boys face an old team-mate, Jack Cottril, in Port Elgin Saturday, Hec. on strike -outs, with 13 apiece, but a missed third -strike cost Joe a strike -out,. Joe allowed but ten hits but unfortunately the old Huron jinx of making costly errors put the sterl- ing right-hander ,behind the •eight -ball on three different occasions. After fouling off several pitches Schilling started the game with a hard single to right and went to send on a passed ball by Groves. McKay grounded out to short, sending Schill- ing to third from where he scored on Kugler's single for the first run of the game. The Redmen were fouling off a lot of Goldsmith's shoots for the first two innings but couldn't straighten them out for hits. Mellor struck out to start the locals half of the third, but Wilbur Tiffin drew a walk. Somers also struck out but Joe Tiffin whaled a double up against the creamery, putting men on second and third. Taking orders from boss `Bush' WcWhirter, Goldsmith purposely passed Bob Groves to get at Lediet, a left-handed batter and Bill barely saw the three balls Hee breezed by him. The Champs added run number two in the fifth, Doran lifting a long dou- ble to deep centre, which Somers re- turned in time to keep the ex -Tees - water star from making it a triple. Dick took third while Lediet was throwing out Wain and stayed there as Schilling flied to the box. McKay grounded to Lediet, and everything looked fine but Gurney dropped the throw for his first error of the season and Doran scored. The two Tiffin brothers belted singles for Wingham in the same frame but died on bases as Somers and Groves struck out. A long, double down the left field foul line by Jack Wain resulted in another run for South. in the 7th, he taking third when Joe uncorked a wild pitch and scored on Schilling's third hit of the day, a single to left. The Hurons again put men on second and third in their half of the seventh, with no result whatever. Gurney and Mel- lor both went out on easy hoppers to second,. but Tuddy Tiffin gotan in- field single, Somers then singled through • the box and. Tiffin went to third when Brown was slow in .fielcl- ing the ball in .centre, Somers stole second, but Goldsmith again bore down to burn the third one past Joe Tiffin, • Wain again started a Southampton rally in the ninth getting bit by a Pitched ball. .Joe then struck out Schilling and McKay, but two succes- would be most welcome. * * * Southampton— A.B.

The game was nicely played although the tire boys had the edge, leading 16-5 at the end of the sixth. However in the 7th inning Prudential put on a rally and aided by several errors by the Silvertowns, gathered in eight runs before the side was retired on a jug- gling exhibition by Williamson at short, which gave everyone a thrill. Several complimentary remarks were heard on the excellent work of Harry Gibson who umpired the bases, his im- partial decisions apparently suiting everyone. Silvertowns— A.B. R.

CLASS On Friday night the Aces and Cubs lockecl horns to decide who was go- ing to occupy the top rung, in B class and the Aces got the verdict 14-12. The Aces got away to an early lead, but the ,Cubs opened up and tied the score in the 6th; Aces added two more in the '7th to win. Cecil Merkley made his debut as a pitcher with the Cubs and held the Aces to ten hits, 1 home run and 9 singles, while his teammates collected 19 hits off Seli. Allan Small in centre field for the Cubs turned in a great game, making several very neat catches and cover- ing lots of territory. Frank Seddon deserved brackets for his batting, get- ting two singles, a double and a home run out of five times at bat. Aces— A.B. R. H. Po A. E.

Douglas, Seddon, Umpires ten on the torah of every founder of every "religion," and of every great hero, but not on the toinb of Christ. Of this tomb alone can it be said: "He is not here, for He is risen," And the angel added; "As He said," The Son of God and Saviour of men always keens His word, The angel told the women to "go quickly, and tell lik,diseiples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him," This again the Lord had predicted before His death: "After that 1 am risen, I will go before you into Galilee" (Mark 14; While they were on this errand the *M0~ risen Lord Himself met them, and ut- tered the salutation, "All hail," which means literally, 00 joy!" They fell at His feet and .worship- ped Him, as well they might. Again came the assuring word, "Be not afraid." Again came the command to tell the disciples to go into Galilee and meet Him there. Galilee had been the scene of a large part of our Lord's earthly and miraculous ministry. A sinister parenthesis in the narra- tive occurs just here. While the wo- men were on their happy errand, some of the soldiers who had been set to watch the tomb went into the city and reported to the chief priests 'what had occurred. Doubtless they. told the ac- tual truth about the earthquake, the angel, resurrection and the empty tomb. There was only one thing the false religious leaders of the Jews could do, after hurriedly conferring together. "They gave large money unto the soldiers, saying: Say ye His disciples carne by night and stole Him away while we slept. And if this come to the Governor's ears, we will per- suade him, and secure you." There is nothing new in bribery and corruption. The soldiers took the money, did as they were instructed "and this saying is commonly report- ed among the Jews tuftil this day." But Christianity could never have changed cowardly disciples into fearless wit- nesses for Christ, who gladly laid down their lives rather than deny Him, if it had been based upon a lie they had invented and circulated. It has been well said that the resurrec- tion of Jesus Christ from the dead is the best attested fact in human his- tory. The disciples went into Galilee and, there, in a mount "where Jesus had appointed them," He met 'them.. Moun- tains, in Scripture, are a type or sym- bol of Christ's kingdom and. His reign- ing power. He began' His 'ministry with His sermon on the 'itfpunt. He predicted His return in righteousness and glory to reign over this earth as the rightful King, in His discourse on the Mount of Olives. • And now He gives the immortal commission to His disciples as only a divine King "All power is given unto me,in heaven and in earth. Go ye there- fore and teach all nations, baptiiing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and o fthe 'Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe .all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." THE SUNDAY SCHOOL 'LESSON oi.....0110061111110.001•011M..0,2101.~1.4.de THE RISEN AND THE GREAT COMMISSION. Sunday, June 17.—Matt. 28: 1-20. Golden Text; Go ye therefore, and teach all na- tions, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and Of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to ob- serve all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with, you alway, even unto the end of the world. (Matt. 28: 19, 20.) It has often been noted that it was the women, not the men, who were last at the cross and first at the sepul- chre. They stood by the Lord Jesus Christ in His death; they greeted Him in His resurrection. Indeed, as a well- known commentator has pointed out, Mary of Bethany was the only one of Christ's disciples who really compre- hended His thrice repeated annonuce- ment of His corning death and resur- rection, and it was on this account that she annointed Him with the pre- cious ointment as he sat at meat in the house of Simon. "She did it for My burial," the Lord said. And she, the only one who believed. He would rise from the dead, therefore "was not among the women who went to the sepulchre with incense to embalm the body of Jesus." But Mary Magdalene ,and Mary the mother of James ,and Salome went to the tomb "very early in the morning the first day of the week . . . at the rising of the sun," bringing "sweet spices, that they might come and an- oint Him." They were questioning among themselves, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?" God had looked after that. "And, behold, there was a greal earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and His raiment white as snow: and for fear of Him the keep- ers did shake, and. became as dead." These "keepers" were the men who had been stationed by the Jewish. priests to make sure the disciples should not "come by night and steal Him away." A watch of men, set to defy and defeat the purposes of God, does not get very far. Christ's enemies might well fear; His friends need not. The angel said to the women: "Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." It is said that a Mohammedan once said to a Christian that Christianity has no such place as Mecca, the sac- red city where the body of Moham- medhimself lies buried. And the Christian reminded the Mohammedan that the reason why Christians make no pilgrimage to the tomb of the dead body of the founder of Christianity is that He is not dead, but living, and in that very fact Christianity is differ- ent from all other religions the world has ever known, "Here lies" is writ - SALEM Miss Ferne Bennett, of Toronto, is spending her vacation with her moth- er, Mrs. Ed.
