FIugh Guthrie and Premier Fer- guson Deal with Public Affairs Kincarcliee, Sept. i9.—On Septem- ber 17, 1878, Sir John Macdonald sub- mitted his National Policy to the Canadian people at the -polls, and the Mackenzie -adriiinistration was over- turrieel, On the 49th anniversary his successor in Conservative leaderehila with a national convention in sight, declared to Bruce electors his adher- ence to the policy of tariff protection. "Sir John established that policy in order that all classes of our citizens might be able to reap a fair share of reward for their industry, and I sub- mit it was the 'only policy under which Canada could continue to ex- ist," said Hon. Hugh Guthrie, at a .great gathering in Kincardine ball park Saturday afternoon. "Derieg all his lifetime •he maintained it intact, and even Laurier for fifteen y‘pars. Sir Robert Borden and Arthur Meigh- en continued it, and not until the ad- vent of the King administration were unholy hands laid upon that policy. 1 maintain that in every instance in which the King government has tink- ered with that policy they have done so to the cost and detriment of Can- ada and the people. of Canada." With a by-election in South Bruce, for the Ontario seat, special interest attached to the remarks of Premier Ferguson, who confined himself; how- ever, to an interesting review of his r„ government's achievements and prams \A 11AOnnection with highways, hydro, child welfare, and education, and .avoided partisan politics. The Prime Minister made no reference to the .8otith Bruce election trial, result of which has been appealed. by M. A. McCallum, late Progressive member, nor did he mention the announced translation of W. E. Raney, Progres- sive 'leader, from the Legislature` to the Supreme Court bench. The gath- ering applauded his announcement that the Government plans "eventual- ly", and not many years hence, a complete network of highways that will reach 'practically every agricul- turist and community in this province.

WORTH DOING A little girl got off the train from Toronto the other day at Stratford. Some time ago, she 'had made the trip in the other direction, but there was. a vast difference. When she went away shp was being sent by the Rotary Club of Stratford to the Sick Children's Flosepital in To- ronto, because her legs were so badly deformed that walking was a painful and very slow operation. • When she came back, her limbs were as straight and, perfect as those of any other child. Two bright spots in this—an organ- ization that seeks out and finances etich cases, and a hospital that can do .sttch remarkable work. Another equally touching incident took place at the close of the 'ana- /edian National Exhibition, ni / young Roumanian boy from' about ,Fludson, Ontario, as the central fig- ure. TJp in that district, schools are impossible, so when Hon, G. H, Fer- =guson=sent along his travelling school in a railway coach, this youngster was one of the first pupils to enroll, Then he could speak no English, but with that adaptability so marked in many of our neWcomers, he made rapid Pro- gress in mastering the language. In some way the lad visited the big show in Toronto, and before, leaving for home he went up to the Premier's of- fice and in easily tederstood English thanked him for the schooliqg receiv- ed during the thirteeh weeks. Then the Hon, Minister of Education did something that this little chap will ponder over. When the crack Tran - continental train pulled out of Toron- to, one of the best compartments housed a rather surprised and confus- ed little boy, andwhen this same big train pulled up at a small station in the bush, the few natives were more than s u rp r is ed ; and pe rhaps. he -little boy will never know just how .all these things bappeeed, HURON PRESBYTERY The Presbytery of Iuron inet in the United church, Wroxeter, on Sep- tember igth, 1927, Rev, J. E. Hogg, 1.3,A., chairman of Presbytery, presid- ing. The action of the Executive com- mittee of Presbytery in releasing Rev. George Telford, B.A., from. St. An- drew's charge, Blyth) in order that he might accept a call •to, Frederickton, N.B., was confirmed by Presbytery. Members of the Presbytery spoke of the long and faithful service rendered by Mr. Telford in his charge and also the Presbytery, The Secretary of PresbYtery was requested to furnish a synopsis of the minutes .of Presbytery: meetings to each of the papers published in the Presbytery with a request for inser- lion; also a copy to the New Outlook, Toronto. It was ordered that four copies of the abbreviated minutes be printed and sent to each minister in the Presbytery in charge of a circuit. Owing to ill health, Rev. J. A. Fer- guson, /3.A., presented his resignation from the McKillop Charge. Members of his congregation spoke concerning his faithful work amongst them and ,tributes of respect were given by sev- eral brother ministers. Presbytery re- luctantly accepted his resignation and appointed the members of the Pres- bytery Settlement committee to'con- suit with the congregations and make Arrangements for supply until such time as a successor is •secured. In future, lay members as well as ministers will receive notice of Pres- bytery meetings. Owing to the removal of Rev. Tel- ford, Rev. C. F. Clarke was appointed as an advisory 'member of the Con- ference Settlement committee. , Rev. C. J. Moorehouse was appoint.' ed=ao represent Presbytery at the fun- eral in Exeter of the late Rev. J. D. Kestle. Rev. 13. Snell presented the, report of,the ReligictuseeEdnea.tion eeramittee regarding commending,aamong other thitigs, the establishment of Leader- ship Training Schools, the formation of Tuxis groups and, Trail Ranger camps,- That four centres be fOrmed in the Presbytery and committees be, appointed to establish a Teacher Training School in each centre. It was recommended that all charg- es where . the salary paid is below $1,700 be recommended to the Home Missionary committee for e grant of $5a each. Rev. W. D. McDonald presented the report of the M. & Ea Fund commit- tee.. It was decided to divide the Presbytery into five districts—Wipg- ham, Goderich, Clinton, Walton and Exeter, with the charges immediately surrounding, and that conferences be held if possible during October in each district. That members of the District .=comenittee, where- possible, meet the_ O1fica1 Boards and confer with them as to the best means of reaching their allocations, and that an every -person canvass be held on each charge. Rev. Dr. Oliver, of Saskatoont, was introduced to Presbytery and gave a most interesting and thrilling address or the Horne Missionwork of the church in the west and the need of the M. & E. Fund to support this work, Dr, Oliver in his address gave a very comprehensive survey in pion- eer and, plesent day problems and conditions in the western provinces and how to meet them. "The present is a period of consolidation, self-con- sciousness, and oranization. The community spirit enters into every phase of life, • One of the greatest problems is man power. The church needs Your sons and ,your daughters even more than your irioney. There are 6o different nationalities in the west. The greatest experiment of the people of the world is forging a new people. The west must be Christian, and to the United church that means a great challenge, We should look at our church from a national way, Unless we are Mis- sionaries an'l give ourselves with pas- sion and sacrifice we are not true to our ideals, in spite of the very high standard of giving service maintained, by the -United chutch. Canada is be- itig peopled so rapidly that they cat-1- mA do a great deal. more than over- take ale white population. The land, is growing faster that" our sacrifice, atea our problems are greater than our giving," in view of this, Dr. Oliver pleaded for 2 more getterotts response to •the Maintetiance and.

An accident occurred eon Saturday afternoon of last week on the road between Blyth and Londesboro, just at the corner of the road north of the Union cemetery, when the large sedan occupied by Mr. and Mrs.,Scott, of Columbus, Ohio, overturned in the ditch. Fortunately neither of the oc- cupants were hurt and the car was only slightly damaged. This is a bard corner for motorists who are not fa- miliar with the road, and great care should be exercised in making the turn. The car ran into the ditch at one side,,of the road, and in straight- ening it out, plunged into the one on the opposite side.

Smith. ' Mrs. Fanny Colvin, of Toronto, visited with 'old acquaintances in Winghain during the past week. Several mixed rinks from Win"ghain attended a tournament at Pelmerston on 'Wednesday, but were not success- ful in annexing any of the prizes. i6 There were over 40 entries, Jos. Lippert, the Detroft young Man 285 who caused the death of Miss Evelyn O'Hagen at Riversdale a month or so ago, settled ‘a civil suit by -.paying $2,500 and costs. He is still to stand a charge of manslaughter. Dr. Heesion, of Toronto; looked up old friends in town while in,this part on a visit to relatives in Ashfield. As a boy the doctor learned the print- ing business in the old Journal office, and related some rather interesting incidents caused, by the slipping in of hidden local bits in rural corres- pondence. Does the weather man think it is time to get them on again? After a week of torrid weather, the thermom- eter soaring up to about 90,' a cool blast swept down Sunday afternoon, accompanied by a smart shower, and since then everyone has the shivers; A touch of real fall weather. Roy McLeod of the Advance -Times received a Chicago paper last week from his father which tells of the ter- rific heat wave that swept over that city the last ten days. With the ther- mometer registering 92 to 98 in the shade, prostrations were quite numer- ous, and physical- et/Hering untold. •44 The paper also has an article on the labor situation. While business condi- tions are very good and, the majority of manufacturing concerns running nearly full time, it is estimated there are over 100,000 unemployed. This force is being largely augmented by the arrival of hundreds daily from the southern states, which suffered so much from floods. e Dr. R. E. Dixon, a Walkerton den- tist, will have the pleasure of letting another doctor experiment on his jaw. While motoring near Port Elgin with a lady friend, the car slipped off the narrow roadway while going at a fast clip and in pulling it onto the highway again, the left front wheel collapsed and the chariot after tak- ing a couple of somersaults and I7 knocking the entire wooden top off the car, brought up against a wire fence on the opposite side of the road, after carrying away two or three posts, Dr. Dixon was pinned under.the car and would shortly have succumbed, had not his lady friend, who was thrown clear of the wreck and escaped unhurt, hurried to a near- by farm and suminoned aid. It requir- ed the combined strength of two or three man to raise the car sufficiently to enable him to be pulled out in an unconscious state. - LARGE BARN IS PREY TO FLAMES 79 54 37 49 240 tor 74 56 17 21 36 63 62 52 8o 65 358 134 �i 59 42 285 212 296 - — Grey Township 1 37 65 64 2 42 87 24 3 36 69 32' 5 50 94 94, a- 6 20 93 41 6 20 94 41 7 67 94 94 296 532 310 23 67 80 2 6, 34 84 3 64 42 56 4 17 34 69 5 48 73 3 6 52 53 12 7 51 6o 16 Ashfield 316 358 320 H OWICk 1 71 41 87 2 131 55 38 3 66 88 162 4 .191 42 131 5 82. 86 73 6 79 17 65 6xo 329 556 Colborne 1 31 52 6o 2 5 4/ 45, 3 52 73 62, 4 22 63' no 231 184 Wingham i r6 46 144 2 20 88 133 3a 7 49 67 3b 3 59 75 4a 7 51 87 4b 8 54 86 5 6 33 90 • 67 36o 682 Goderich 1 x6 x76 170 Z 10 181 140 3 7 154 /43' 4 10 X22 136 5 8 99 124 6 /2 234 129 7 7 97 86 Advance poll 1 9 3 71 1172 931 Brussels ra, 5 67 57 xb 15 71 46 Wroxeter Blyth 30 242 167 12 93 72 14 87 too 6 73 94 Bricker 2673; Hyslop 4467; Spot. ton 4595; majority for Spotton, 188.

No fertil- iser of any kind was used. Mr. Hard- ing is a former resident of Wing -ham, , amottplarome. Fie broke out Friday morning at 6 o'clock in the large barn of Mr. Robert Button, just west of the vil- nelei'i 'ae lage of tucknow, on the north side of the bot rbdk etween Huron and Brute counties, Members of the familywere in the basenteet of the barn neilking the cows, when sudden - 6. the Wbble triterior of the upper storey burst into flames. Spontaneous combustion is blamed as being the cause of the fire. A valuable bull was burned in addition to a number of hogs. Mr,. Button lost also bis en- tire season's crop of grain and hay, which was a very large one. His crop of wheat had been threshed some time ago and the barn re -filled with other grain, oats, etc, The wheat was in the granary and was burned. The barn and contents were insured in the West Wawanosh Mutual Fire Ineur- ance Co., the barn being itsured for $4,000 end the contents for an equal amount. The West Wawanosh Co, had, re -insured 40 per cent. of this in the McKillop Fire insurance Co. Walton McKibbon, Jr., left today for London to attend Western Uni- nersoty, ANGLICANS AND DIVORCE The Anglican Synod, in, session at Kingston, is not in favor of granting the privilege of the church's marriage service to those who have been di- vorced, while the partner still lives. That mar not be a very vigorous obstacle to those who seek ,re -mar- riage, but it is something, and, it's about as far an any church can go, because it means a refusal to recog- nize divorcees as proper persons to marry again. Canada. had 6o8 divorces in 1926, an increase of ten per centover the previous yeaa and ten times as many as were granted in 1913. The danger is that people are com- ing to accept divorce with a greater degree of allowance than they did previously. Our proximity to United States may have something to =clo ' with 'our attitude toward the matter. There are grounds on which divorce = should be -granted, and these are well. observed in Canadian law. But to get down to the place where man and woman can come to the part- ing of the ways on some trivial ex - cuse is simply another way of haCk•-• ing et the keystone of our whole na- tional and social fabric. The Church of England is right vvhen it sets: its face sternlyagainst the drift toward divorce Courts.— Stratford Beacon.
