However, it has been intimated tu me that this is municipal night and I believe that I am expected to say something regarding municipal af- fairs, 'fihere are certain words in our language that are very common- ly used; indeed they are so common that we do not give their meaning but very little attention.

No one stops to define' tlas word; every person uses it quite cas- ually as though we were all agreed as to what it means. So it is with the word municipal or municipality. We have our munici- pal council, our municipal commission, our municipal board of heeith, our municipal sehool boards and many other municipal organizations, and a large number' of our citizens give these_arganizations and their Munici- pality very little, if any, considera- tion at all. I am satisfied that very, few of us ever pause to 'consider hos: our town came into being. Too of- ten we take its existence for granted, and have been willing to let the ether fellow assume all responsibility of its Management. But our town did not just happen. .A definite force called it into existence at the very point at, whiaili it had its origin, and in nearly all cases these same forces continue-. to exist Thecreation of towns by manufacturers' is not common, in- deed they are the exception rather than the rule. We will do well to remember that in the establishment of this and ev- ery other municipality some person or persons had a vision, and in order to have that vision realized and ful- filled, they set themselves to the task of ' bringing into. being the many municipalities that are to be found throughout the length and breadth of this .country of ours. With the (establishment of 'man municipalities came certain responsi- bilities and certain obligations. Re- sponsibilities for not only a few of our citizens but every citizen should realize that they have their individual responsibilities and every citizen should be willing to co-operate to make his town inviting and attrac- tive for all classes of citizens. There.was a time when man clean. ed and lighted the street' before hi own doors; education was conducted in the home. There was no such thing as a library and society offered very little, save the administration of jus- tice and protection from foreign foes. With the coming of our organized municipalities all this was changed. To -day our towns protect life and property; it safeguards health in many countless ways; it oversees house construction; protects from fire; cleans and lights our streets; were laid for 60, were prettily dec- dren, in some cases supplies them with books, and in many instances supplies them with food. It supplies nursing and hospital accommodation, offers a library,. inspects food, pro- tects oure children by factory laves, and safeguards its citizens from con- tagiousi diseases by all Modern meth- ods and many other services are rendered by the municipality to its citizens. All, these intrusions into the field of private business have in - 'volved no loss of freedom to the in- dividual, rather has it added to his freedom. Such are some of the gains that our municipalities have brought 13y these changes we are drawn into an intimacy, a solidarite which makes the welfare of one the Welfare of all, and its motives are ,j ice rather than philanthropic.

William Golding, of • Seaforth, was unanimously chosen to represent thee -Liberals of South Hur- on in the next provincial election at an enthusiastic and largely attended annualmeeting of the South Huron Liberal Association in the Town Hall, Hensell, Wednesday afternoon. With a king, clean record in civic serviee, Mr. Golding, who was, mayor of Seaforth continuously' for eight years,' was acclaimed' as one of the finest candidates that could be, pick- ed. „ Ile is a vice-president of the" federal 'riding association, served on Seaforth Council from 1916 to 1929, 'has been a member of the Seaforth Hydro Commission since 1921 and chairman of the Scott Mem-orial Hes- pital board since 1924.

Every arrunicipality in South Huron was represented by a goodly number of delegates at the annual meeting and nominating convention .,Wednes- day afternoon. After choosing ex - Mayor Golding to carry the Liberal banner in the next Ontario election, the delegates enjoyed fine addresses from Ross Gray, M.P. for West Larribton, and their own laienther of parliament, Thomas 'IVIcelVlillan. Beth speakers were accorded an enthusi- astic recreation and their enunciation of Liberal policies was met with fre- quent ovations, 'Chief officers in both the Dominion and Provincial riding associations were returned to office, Dr. J. W. Shaw being re-elected to the pzresi- deney of the former and J. G. Stan - bury again 'headieg the provincial body. e A vote was then' taken on se re0- "flOn. iby Mr. Hayes and it was unani- mously decided to elect, a candidate.

'In accepting the nomination, Mr. _ Goading said:. .4iI -have never throwrf the Liberal party down and I won't start now." He appealed for co- operation to redeem South Huron for the Liberals, stating that it had be- come essential to turn the Henry Government out of poter. Mr. Gray opened his address by paying tribute to Mr. 1VIeMillan, who, he said, was especially conversant with the agricultural problem and listened to, even by the Conserva- tives, with respect. "From what I have learned of Mr. Golding's civic record, I am sure that he is a most worthy candidate in the provincial field," the member front West Lambton said. "The Provincial Government is riding to a fall, but. no candidate can do it ,all. Mr. Gold- ing needs your united fforts." 'Mr. McMillan, in his address, ex- pressed the Utmost confidence in Mr. Golding and 'promised his whole- hearted support. "I think I-avoice the• feeling of all Liberals in Ontario when I say that if we stand behind Mr. Hepburn we will clean out that retinue at Queen's Park," Mr. MIcIVEllan said. Echoing the sante hope of Mr. Greg that the coming Ottawa conference be a success, Mr.- McMillan said that it was about time that Premier Ben- nett announced his stand with regard to what policy he would follow in the discussions on inter -empire trade. "Every time information on this subject has been sought, Mr. Ben- nett, by his petulance and bad tem- per, has shown, that he wishes to keep the 'people in the dark," the speaker said.
