WINGHAIVI CANADIAN CLUB MARKED BY
SUCCESS DURING THEIR THIRD SEASON
The Winglram Mee's and Women's
Canadian Club has just completed its
third season's activities, and we feel
that we are voicing the sentiments of
the entire membership when we state
*that, the programmes of the winter
of 1929-30 have been most enjoyable,
The Canadian Club is a uniquely
Canadian organization, whose purs.
pose is to foster a national conscious-
ness. It is a non-sectarian, non-parti-
san organization, whose members
have the privilege of listening to
messages on various subjects from all
Parts of the Dominion. As a result,
they acquire a broader viewpoint and
a better understanding of matters
and issues Canadian. The Wingham
Qanadian Club is affiliated with the
Association of Canadan Clubs at Ot-
tawa. The number of Clubs in the
Association has increased in the last
four years from fifty-three to one
hundred and thirteen. This includes
clubs in all parts of Canada, from the
American frontier to the Peaee River
Country, and between Sydney, Cape
Breton and Comox, in Vancouver Is-
land. There are bilingual and French-

the Canadian Club as "the University

healthy influences tending 'to create a
national public' opinion in the Domin-
ion.
We have listened to eleven speak-
ers during the past season, and the
subjects these men and women have
brought to us have covered a wide
range. Mr. Firilayson from Winnipeg
brought to us the -viewpoint or the
"Canadian of Western Canada". Mrs.
Eric Brown told us of Canada's Nat-
ional Position in World Affairs".
Mr. R. W. E. Burnaby, Trades Com-
missioner for the Maritime Provinces
brought a message which should be
instrumental in bringing about a bet-

conditions of the Maritimes. Mr. Cy-

of Development of Canadian National
Railways, spoke to us on the very vi-

George Spotton
,Spotton, member of last parliament
as their candidate to again contest
the riding of North Huron, Mr. Spot -
ton's 'name was proposed by Geo.
Kerr of East Wawanosh, and E. Pet-
tigrew of Wingham. No oilier names
being submitted the chairman, Dr.
Armstrong. declared Mr. Spotton the
emeiermav
candidate amidst cheers from the
large audience present.
"Things can't be any worse in the
country. Try the Conservative party,
Things might be better under Conser-
vative rule," was the burden of Mr,
Spottons suinmary, after he had re-
viewed the unemployment situation
and touched on national issues.
Mr. Spotton, in thanking the con-
vention for the nomination, gave an
account of his stewardship. As repre-
sentative at Ottawa for the agricul-
tural district of North Hurone he said
that he had tried to give service. He
had tried to take the judical view-
point in all matters that needed his
attention. He then discussed briefly
some of the issues of the coming el-
ection, promising to deal more fully
with them at corning meetings.
He questioned the right of the
King Government to take credit for
reducing the sales tax. When the Lib-
erals took over office, the sales tax
was at 3 per cent., he said but it was
not long before they raised it to 6
per cent. Then they dropped it grad-
ually to 1 per cent "They talk about
reducing national debt and reducing;
sales tax," he asserted,
The candidate touched on the Li-
quor Export Act. He said the people
of North Huron, by their petitions
which he had presented to Parliament
had been instrumental in having this
legislation, which he had supported,
enacted. He pointed. out also that his
leader, Hon. R. B. F3ennett, had voted
for the measure because it contained
a principle in which he believed. He
