SEAFORTH: Friday, August 25,
Who Is the Boss? —
When will there be an Ontario el-
ection? Will it be this fall or will.
Premier Henry take advantages of
'the legislation passed four years ago
-find hold a liftihesession of the Legis-
lature About- an aptpeal to the peo-
ple?
Those are the questions that have
been agitating the public mind for a
good many months, and direct an-
swers have never been given by the
Premier to allay the suspension.
It was expected that when the
first great Conservative rally of the
year was organized in Mitchell early
this summer Mr. Henry would surely
make a pronouncement.
l'')33 It didn't come. Later at another
friendly gathering he intimated that
an election would be held in the not
distant furure, and atgain a third
time he qualified this.;.4taternent some-
what by saying the country was. per-
haps, not yet ripe for an, election., •
But the s;.uspenee has been ended.
The Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Can-
adat'e Conunissioner in London, Eng-
land, made the announcement in Ot-
tawa this week that there was to be
no election in Ontario until 1934.
The pronouncement eases the ten-
,sien of 'cour.se. But from its source,
one. might be pardoned for asking
the question. •'Who is the boss of
The Nova Scotia. Elections
Tuesday was election day in the
Province of Nova Scotia, and they
take their polities very seriously in
that land down by the sea.
For upwards of forty years Nova
Scotia was Liberal! Two eleeeione.
ago, there wee a deetre eor a cheirige
and the result of that eleaeion was a
landslide in fa; or ef the Coreservae
tives,
At the last election. previous to
'rueday. the Conservative party was
again e:-..cted. although ty very
enueh reduced majority.
On Tuesday the Province'returned Ontario anyway?"

members out of' 30 saaes in tbe Leg-
lelature.
Only Premier Harringten, tees Cab-
inet Minister and one Minester with -
°et portfolio. survived thetbat-ee, the
other five members of the Cabinet
and one other minister 'without port-
folio •going down zo defeat.
The new Premier is Me. Araue L.
_Macdonald. -He is 4.3. yeare of age
and-i-e..a former law profeseor. with
a fine war record. and will be Can-
ada youngest Protenciat Premier.
He is also the second Nova Scotia
Catholic Premier, the first one being
the late Sir Jean Thompson, who.
was Premier in 1882.
-Nova Scotia is a long dietance.
away fram Western Ontario, so far
in fact, that we, in this part of our
Province. were not at ell conversant
with the election iseuss of the con-
test. but the battle was said to. be
largely fought over Dominion rather
than Provincial issues. •
If that is. true. the result must be
keenly felt by the Government at
Ottawa, as well as by the Conserva-
tives in Nora Scotia. And we might
add by those jn Ontario, Saskatche-
wan and British Columleriae where
provincial elections 'aredmeeending or
have been announced.
Premier Bennett . is said to be very
popular in his home Province of Nora
Scotia, but if the recent election was
fo-ug-ht on Dominion issues. the re-
sult .clearly shows that this popu-
larity was on a plane very .similar to
the popularity the late Sir Wilfrid
Laurier alvvays enjoyed in the city
of Toronto. Its qualities were en-
tirely personal, • They possessed no.
vote getting powers whatever.
Will Motorists Never Learn?
Five motorists were killed in •On-
tario on Monday of this week in
level crossing iecidents. .Within a
'week. the number of fatalities from
similar accidentshas reached double
-figures.
Will motorists never learn to look,
"
to follow the motto of "Safety First"
when approaching a railway cross-
ing?
It would appear not. In fact the
,records show that fatalities from
, this cause are on the increase rather
than on the down elope.
Such carelessness is appalling,
There are marry motor accidents
which 'occur on the highways. which
from one cause or another are, per-
haps, totally unaveadal-de, eett the
level crossing accident ..is not one of
these.
, The railway crossing is always in
the same place and. .-o are the tracks
on each side of it. Whether the mot-
orist is a stranger to the locality or
not, the signs of a crossing,are plain
for ' all to read.
And yet the accidents and fatali-
ties occur and increase in numbee.
it is quite apparent that some ac-
tion must be taken by the goee-rn-
ment.' The common senses 'or the
judgment of motorists can no longer
be relied upon.
For some time the Stratford Bea-
con -'Herald has been consistently
and ably advocating the stop sign
at all level crossin:gs, and we believe
the Stratford paper is right.'
It is all well enough to say that
accidents would occur stop signs or
no stop signs. It is the carelessness
of the motorist that doe 4 it.
'Perhaps the would. It took Mot-,
mists a long time to leap that a
step sign at street 'corners or at an
intereettion of the highways meant
jizet what it said-eStop.
New, however, it has been . prUr
thoroughly digested. It is the els-
captionai, tot the usual motorist that
razes thrOugh a stop sign. Likewise
it is the exceptional accident that now
tfieetitt at .higliory. intersections.

Ontario Won Numerops
Prizes at Grain Show
The corn growers of South Wet -
err' Ontario captured the first nine
prizes in the -Late Flint Class at the
World's Grain Shove, and thereby
di menstrated to, the world that the
banner Flint Corn growing areas no
longer lie south of the 49th Parallel.
The outseanding success of the On-
tario corn g -rowers, led by William W.
Beaver, Turnerville, is only •one of
the triumphs of Ontario farmers at
the greatest Wcteld's Grain Fair ever
held, which recently came to a suc-
cessful conclusion at 'Regina.
The Blue Grass growers of Ontario
'hare premier honours with the corn
:men. by taking eleven of the first 13

Seaforth lest e-2 to the Union
Guardian Trust Co. softball teem of
Detroit on Saturday last. The game
was nnt as exciting as many of the
league genies held here this' year
have been. The locals seemed un-
able to pull themselves together to
overcome the lead of the visitors.
The Yankees were strong in the
Feld but the pitcher could only toss
the hall 1across and the locals being
used to fast hurling were complete-
ly at his.mercy all during the game.
Only four hits were driven past the
infield.
A large crowd turned out to 'wel-
come the visitors. The game started
at 6 p.m. and was hurried through,
the nine innings being played long
before darkness.
As the outseam ball is used in De-
troit, half the game was played, with
it and half with the inseam ,ball.
Seaforth wae held scoreless until
the fifth inning when Gord Rennie
stole home from third. Their sec-
ond run came when Eivan Rennie
clouted out a nice home run in the
eighth.
The score ihdicates the play, but
as a team the locals appeared the
equal of the Yankees. The Seaforth
team did not play their usual brand
of ;ball. If they had played as they
usually do in their league games the
score would likely have been dif-
ferent. However, it was a friendly
game and enjoyed by both teams and
sipectators.

Crop Conditions
The official survey made by the
Department of crop conditions in On-
tario early. in August is now avail -
r. The continued roue t ening
June and July so seriously affected
:he growth of crops that condition
figures for the principal ones at the
end of July were the lowest recorded
•
many year since 1918, the•first year
in which figures
were conrpiled.
•Springgrain which was at the ripen-
ing: stage during the last half of July
suffered severely from the heat. Ear-
ly oats and barley turned out better
than anticipated, while fall wheat
showed a evecie range, with many
fields haying an excellent yield. Pas-
tures were so badly. burned at the
end of July that -farmers generally
were forced to stable feed their dairy
herds. Early August rainfalls; how-
ever, have improved the pasture sit-
uation.. A much smaller yield of -both
burley and flue -cured tobacco is indi-
cated. The eordition of dry beans is
match below average in Western On-
tario.
Apple Inspection
The Provincial Fruit Branch and
the Dominion Fruit Branch have join-
ed forces in the inspection of the ap-
ple crops of Ontario in connection
with the export regulation of the De-
structive 'Insect 'and Pest Act that
prohibits the export of apples to any
country other than the United States
unless the shipment is accompanied
by a certificate of irispection issued
by a duly -appointed inspector. • It is
intended ,to inspect only those rerch
ai•ds from which apples are likely to
be exported. Any grower who pro-
poses:, to. export apples is required to
submit an application for ins:pection,
with the exception of growers who

The 'Merchants were swept off their

the Industries scored 7 runs. The
Merchants would have lost the game
in any case because they were un-
able to field a team before twilight.
Two More games will be played

unemployed for the championship of
Seaforth. As the unemployed have
about enough players to start a

pate 'knowledge of the bird and an-
val life of the period. His whistled
lard notes and animal imitations have
delighted countless children. At
early age he was an excellent marks -
(mien which ability he never lost.. As
a young man he took his part in all
the laborious pioneer tasks and for
inany . years . was _engaged with.that
veteran framer, the late .John Doig.
Mr. McCloy had a wonderful mem-
ory and keen native wit, which made
his anecdotes relative to those pio-
neer cloys and peoples particularly
interesting. -Forty-two years ago last
March he married Jeanie Templeton,
only daughter of John and Agnes
Templeton. He then purchased the
Templeton farm. With his father-in-
law he was interested in the improve-
ment of stock, having many fine im-
ported horses and a splendid strain
of rattle. Although not actively en-
gaged in the farm work for the last
few years, he was always interested
in all home plans and in everything
pertaining to the progress and wel-
fare of his native township. He is
survived by his wife and a family of
three: Mrs. William H. McLean, John
T., and Mrs. Robert Sift-Teo/1, also
one grandchild, Janeth Simpson. One
daught r, Mamie, died thirty-four
years ago. The funei al, which was
private 'owing to the illness of Mrs.
McCloy, was held from his home on
Friday. In the absence of Rev. Mr.
Young, the services were taken by
Rev. Dr. T. Wardlaw Taylor, of To-
ronto. Interment was made in
Rodgerville cemetery, the pallbearers
being his two nephews; John Riley
and John A. McCloy, and Messrs. An-
gus 'McKinnon, William Hoggarth,
John A. McGregor and William Work-
man.
