H. H. Stevens, its leader, on Friday night, made his first platform appeal for support in the general el- ection.

It had no doubt been plowed up and turned under a good many times in the course of the years but had not been noticed before. — Clinton News -Re- cord. • Boy Has Hand Mangled Goderich—Bruce Thurlow, 4 -year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Thur - low, Lakeshore Road, was taken to Alexandra Hospital with a mangled hand.

Turtle Blocked Drain A few years ago when a drain was constructed to carry away the waters which were diverted from Silver Creek while repairs were being made to the swimming pool, it was considered the tiles were large enough to accommo- date the flow of water under any con- dition. One day, last week, however, the water backed up to such an ex- tent that pumping operations were in- terfered with and so workmen began to investigate. Opening the drain 50 feet from the outlet they found a large turtle which had completely fill- ed the 12 -inch tile.;. --Huron Expositor.

Leiserner has been spend- ing his spare time for the past few months in building what is described as an air propelled boat. The new in- vention is given its buoyancy by two pontoons, upon which is built an am- ateur aeroplane equipped with pro- peller arms. The power is generated by an auto motor weighing 400 lbs., and it looked as though the inventor had made provision for every possible contingency that the machine might have to face in its operations. It was loaded on a motor trailer and taken to Witter's Pond to be launched for is maiden voyage. Very unfortunate - y, however, the machine lost its bal- ance while being transferred from the ruck to the water, and sank in about ix feet of water. It , will be raised and given another chance to show what it is capable of.—Mildmay Gaz- tte. a e s. i y' i t 5 e Seaforth Pool Being Cemented The swimming pool at the Seaforth Lions Cltib Park, which has been the pleasant mecca of countless children during the years since its construc- tion, is at present undergoing extens- i wH Tit R tF "G GET NEW SPEE W o ms They are genuine Goodyear tires at prices to please you.

Huron from the diningroom table. A. Few Words to You About the Co T` rturing 1934 the average number of persons employed by Canadian National Railways was 74,774, and the wages paid them came to almost one hundred million dollars This represented, both as to number employed and amount of payroll, an advance over 1933, and practically the whole increase in personnel was due to re-employment of those whose services had previously been dispensed with owing to lack of business. The average mileage of road operated in 1934 was 23,676 miles, making Canadian National Railways the largest single railway system in the Western Hemisphere. In 1934 the total freight transported by Canadian National Railways amounted to 44,719,477 tons, an increase of eighteen per cent over the previous year. The average haul of freight was 326 miles. The value of this freight is not ascertainable, but it must run into many hundred millions of dollars, and, comprising all kinds of necessities and luxuries, contributed to the welfare and happiness of every man, woman and child in the Dominion. Canadian National Railways carried over 10,000,000 passengers during 1934: This was also an increase over 1933. These paid in fares $16,331,299. or an average of $1.62 per passenger with an average journey of seventy-one and three-quarter miles. These figures, without embellishment or amplification, show the vastness of the public services rendered by Canadian National Railways. The system is conducted on as economical a scale as is consistent with the highest standards of railway operation. The improvement in business in 1934 over the previous year enabled more people to be employed .. c more wages to be paid . - : more service to be rendered. Also, more money was available to be spent among Canadian producers and Canadian merchants. A continuation of this improvement in our business will carry on and enlarge these good results • : . the whole country will benefit. This year Canadian National Railways is co-operating in an extensive way in the national movement to diminish unemployment and to restore industrial activity ::: to help banish the depression and bring better times for everyone. Canadian National Railways feels justified in asking for your co-operation: A greater use by Canadian citizens of the facilities offered by this system -- transportation, express, telegraphs, hotels — will materially help not only us, but all Canada ; and you will receive full value for every dollar spent.
