" ' alter Harris Criticizes Frost In Campaign Speech At Zurich In an election campaign speech to about 1 0 0 people in the Community Centre, Zurich, on Monday night, the Hon. Walter E. Harris accused Premier Leslie Frost of meddling in the last Dom- inion election. He stated that due to the fact the Ontario premier took part in the last federal elec- tion and helped elect the govern- ment which is letting the country down today, it is time the Conser- vative government is knocked out of power in Ontario. He said Mr. Diefenbaker would never have been elected without the help of Mr. Frost. Mr. Harris was speaking in sup- port of Harry Strang, Liberal can- didate in the Huron riding in the provincial election on June 11. Ivan Kalbfleisch, Zurich, was chairman of the meeting, and A. Y. McLean, Seaforth, introduced Mr. Harris. The candidate, Mr. Strang, spoke briefly to the gathering. He told of having spent the day in Zurich, campaigning, and of the splendid reception he had received from the people. Mr. Strang went on to say, "the Conservatives may be able to out -advertise us, and they are able to spend more money than we can, but they can't work hard- er than the Liberals are working to be elected." He toldof having a standing invitation to open Hen - sail Spring Fair on June 12, if he were elected, and said there was nothing he would like to be able to do better than officiate at the op- ening. Both Mr. Harris and Mr. Kalb- fleisch paid special tribute to Mr. William O'Brien, who has been a staunch Liberal supporter for many years, and who was present at the meeting. Mr. Harris said he felt older people should discuss politics with younger folk more than they do nowadays. "Inflation is the greatest threat facing people today," went on the speaker. "The wrong things are going • up in price and the wrong things are coming down in price," he added. In talking of the bond conversion that was made last year, Mr. Harris said the country is deeper in debt now than ever before on account of the convers- ion. The former finance minister of the Dominion government criti- cized the new hospital plan in On- tario. He said that very few peo- ple are getting out of it what they expected to. Talking about the proposed new hospital at Goderich which has been promised to the people in Huron, Mr. Harris told the meeting they would be still hearing about it ten years from now. "The fact that neither Toronto or Ottawa are expecting a change in the provincial government is a good indication that there will be a change. There has been no en- thusiasm shown on the part of the Conservatives," concluded Mr. Har- ris. "They are not working at all." In thanking Mr. Harris for be- ing present, Mr. Kalbfleisch urged everyone to get out and work to elect Harry Strang.
