The population of the Canadian West is made up of many and var- ied elements of humanity. Of the immigrant settlers in Manitoba and the prairie provinces, about fifty- seven per cent. are British born -of the same stock as the early pioneers —the next ten percent., German, also a very fine type of settler,—then the Scandinavian, French, Italian, and so forth'. Of all these newcomers to our land, those of the Scandinavian race are making the most important contributions , to Canadian literature and ' culture: Worthy of mention here are Frederick Philip Grove, who was the guest of the Wingham am C an- adian Clubtwo years . ago, an who is the author of several books, Mar- tha °stens°, best known as the writ- er of "`Wild Geese," and Mrs. Laura Salyerson, who has written "The 'Vi- king' Heart." It is claimed that, in the writings of these, and other des- cendants of the Norsemen, there are passages which show traces of the genius of the.Iselandic sagas. Mr. Finlayson laid stress upon the fact that the West is gradually be- coming industrialized, especially in the southern parts of the provinces. He spoke of the vast possibilities cf its natural resources, its mineral wealth and water power, and predict- ed growth toward the north. Port lecture on "The Canadians of West Nelson, on the. Hudson Bay, is onern' Canada" set forth facts which are a direct line between Europe and the of vital importance to every Canad Orient, and if the'northern districts ian business man, and was interest -.were opened up, it might become a very important port.

' Mr. Finlayson was born near Ripley, Ontario, but has been in the West for over twen- ty years. During his residence there, he has been a member of the profes- sorial staff of the University of Man - itoba. He is at present practising law in Winnipeg., It is to be regretted that a larger number of the representative men of Wingham had not found it possible to attend this meeting. Mr. Finlayson's ing as well as instructive. In introducing his subject, the speaker recalled the history of the struggle for responsible government in Manitoba and the prairieprovinces mer, he declared, are more amenable and their ultimate admission into the to new political improvements than the people of Ontario. They have. developed what might be termed an international awareness—possibly an indirect result of the wide 'activities of the wheat; pool. The Canadians of. the 'West are more imperialistic. than those of Ontario, perhaps be- cause they are, many of them, Bri- tish born of the first generation, while we on Ontario are of the ,third and fourth generation. Their nat- ional consciousness is also strong, and they desire to see Canada recog nized as a nation, with her own dis- tinctive flag and her ambassadors in the other countries of the world. Mr. Posliff proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Finlayson for his splendid lecture, to Miss MacLean for her solo, to the pianist, Mrs. Han na, and to all who had helped to make the evening a success. The meeting closed by the singing of "God Save the King." Confederation—Manitoba in 1870, Al- berta and Saskatchewan in 1905. Sin- ce that time, the political history of these three .provinces has been sim- ilar to . that of Ontario,or any other province. " In this 'connection, Mr: Finlaysonmentioned, the prominence of the Independent Labour Party in the West at the present time. Of the West, from a commercial point of view, the lecturer spoke at considerable length. Out of the wheat board of war years and the period of fictitiousprosperity which followed, in 1919 and 1920, and its inefficiency during the years of the greatest depression in 1922 and 1923, was .evolved the idea of the wheat pool -perhaps the greatest business. enterprise in North America to -day, certainly the greatest in Canada. It has been organized and is managed almost entirely by the farmers of Western Canada.

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING' Mr. and Mrs. Charles Campbell, of golden their celebrated Belgrave, on Tai Tuesday. ar nnivers Y in anniversary wedding James Wight - men, ht- Mrs. u hter g Their da J The. daughter, man entertained a number of friends in their honor. Mr. Campbell, who is a native of•Dumfries Township, came to Huron County in his early youth, and in 1870 he married Annie Beecroft,' a daughter of the late John and Mrs. Beecroft, pioneers of East Wawanosh. For the entire (fifty years Mr. and Mrs• Campbell lived on their farm on the banks of: the Maitland, at Marnoch, and there they reared their family of three sons and three daughters. `Pour surviving children ,are: Herbert of'Wingharn, Mrs. Melburn McDowell of Mill- brook, John of Aylmer and Mrs. Jas• Wightman of.Belgrave; Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. now reside in Del - grave, and on the occasion of their golden wedding received kindly re. nietnbranees from a large number of friends. Dr. Whitely spoke briefly touch- ing on man. of the questions at is- sue s- Y s e ing the campaign. In reviewing the growth of the Hydro, he showed howit was'. necessaryfor the bigcen- tres tres to first line up with the" propo- sition to ensure its success, Rates were fixed on cost at point of devel- opm.ent, plus cost of distribution to various centres; and after years of experience, the Commission have a surplus of some $3,000•;Q00;,, which will be used .to.: give farmers hydro • power at a lower time cost rice'; While P Dr.. Whitely' stated a. farmer could have` hydro. at $2,50 a month,, he un- doubtedly intended, to say the serrvice charge would. be that a seduction, of. $2.00 per month given by Mr.. Fer- guson. The Liquor Control Act was in politics-, just because the people at the last election elected: 88 members favorable to thatmeasure.. Hae be- lieved lieved it had. done . much to improve drinking conditions,, no greater ob- fective could be had than to improve the social and moral conditions of the people, and he believed that'in a P P , few years 'time less than. half the li- quor quor now used would be consumed, He' also referred to• the splendid work done by Hon. Dr.Forbes, as Minister of Health, in his.efforts to better the condition of sick and af- fected persons, particularly in pro- viding serums for certain diseases. Dr. Whitely hotly resented: the drag- ging of personal and, private matters into' the campaign. Re had been in- terrogated as to his position on div- ision of school moneys to private and public schools, and expressed him- self strongly in favor of by assess- ment. Joint stock companies have the disposition of their taxes in their own hands. He was going to Tor- onto as a Protestant, and without any strings' around his neck. George Spotton, M.P., devoted con- siderable of his time to Dominion politics, claiming that the Federal Government alone' was able to en- tirely eliminate the. liquor: question from the statute books. All Iicenses' for manufacture are granted by the Federal Government, thus the smoke screen raised by the Ferguson Gov- ernment opponents, is just to hide the 58 million revenue received by the Federal Government, while mak- ing a big;noise over the eight mil- lions revenue under the L.C.A. True temperance can only conte by educa- tion and evolution, and not by rev- olution. Mr. Spotton paid a glowing tribute to the Prime Minister as a successful Minister of Education, bringing the very highest form of .education with- in the reach of all. Up in the sparce- ly settled places of 'New Ontario travelling schools in railway coaches are the only means of an education to the children, who afterwards take advantage of correspondence courses. There is nothing to be alarmed over the Township School Act, which will be optional if enacted. Elections have been held since Confederation every three years, so this one comes at the allotted time. Nor could fault be found with the last redistribution. Rural ridings have a population of from 10,000 to 19,000 while the fifteen Toronto" rid- ings have an'.average population of 'from 15,000 to 29,000,. This looks like representation by population. Mr. Spotton challenged the oppo nents of the Ferguson administra tion to lay their finger on one bi of scandal respecting the administra tion of any department. Not .on cent of public:money had been oris appropriated. Instead, the Govern th t interests of the `bes t had men het `n devoted t heart and le at people , P P i th making abilityto r n g 'es and etiergr most of+ the rich natural resources o the Province merits, a �e ca ,Mr. Robertson replied in a ten elation 17; was a t o French'language d minute address answering some o jected t r S otton, as a medium of instruction s• the statements of M , p Boys' Navy and Tweed Suits with 2.pants.
