ASKS -FOR ACTION Criticism of the manner in which Perth road's within' Hibbert Township are maintained was brought to a head when the township council unani- mously adopted a resolution sponsor- ed by WGDiam Kay and Joseph Atkin- son: Copies of the resolution will go forwent to county officials: In part, it read as fdllows•: "That whereas traffic conditions on Petah County roads conotitute a mat- ter cif very great imtportance to the taxpayers of the County, and where- as the condition of the county road immediately soubh of the village of Dublin in, the Township of Hibbert is a menace to'sucb traffic, "And whereas iihe expenditure of approxiinUately $'1,,2100 on three-quar- ters of a mile roadway justified the expectation of a worthwhile improve- ment on that* portion of . the county toad system, 'Ann whereas instead of improve- ment through suvte expenditure, the road is at present and has been for some time a real danger spot, par- ticularly ;to those unacquainted with conditions, Therefore, be it resolved that we, the members of the Hibbert Munici- pal Council in meeting assembled, do petition the County Road Committee to take imimediate snaps to have nec- essary 'repairs made. And further, that a full and careful investigation of all 'facts and Circumstances relat- ed thereto, be made to determine: "1. The justification, if any, for such useless 'expenditure of county money,,, "2. Under wihose supervision the work was carried out, "3. The right of the County Road Superintendent to undertake . a 'road improvement program for which no funds were provided' in the Bounty estimates, and for whieh the county -councilapproval had neither been sought or obtained, "4.

MORLEY, EXETER, IS NAMED PRESIDENT Hurone-Perth Couservativee, hold- ing their annual meeting in Hensall Friday evening, were warned to be prepared, for a federal election this fall with national unity as the issue. The speaker was Ashton R. Douglas, K.C., of ,London, President of the Western Ontario Conservative Assoc- iation. The association approved a move whereby the Huron -Perth Federal As- sociation and the South Huron Pro- vincial Association would be amal- gamated and elected James Morley, Exeter, as President. Other officers are Clark Fisher, secretary, and Rich- ard Welsch, treasurer. Delegates to the Ottawa convention were named as follows: Dr. Ralph Taylor, of Dashwietel, standard-bearer in the last provincial election`"; James Morley, Mrs. Robert Townsend, of Londesboro, and Peter .Eis'enbaceh, of Grand Bend. Alternate delegates are Mrs. Frank Donnelly, of Gaderich, wife of the Conservative candidate for the rid- ing in the federal, election of 1935 ; George C. Petty, of Hensall; Mrs. Ralph Taylor, of Dashwood, and Dr. William Joynt. Franck ,Sills, Seaforth, retiring president of the association, and W. 0: Goodwin, Hensall, retiring secretary, declined renomination. Mr. Sills and Ricohard Parke, of Seaforth, were nominated as delegates, but de- clined. Nelson Trewartha, ex-M.L.A., acted as chairman for the evening. 'Wever since the quarrelsome days before Confederation bas Canada seen sudh disintegration, as in 1938. We're coarsing close, to a testing time. I think and I feel that there is going to be an election this fall. The Lib• enal party is slipping and slipping badly. The issue for the election was handed to the Rowell Comrnisesion, It is the question of unity or disuse ity for Canada,". Mr. I:a gins mid:. . Referring to' 2l' Z. -Wood 'and •=the ,Committee for Action" which has de- manded an early convention for On- tario Conservatives, Mr. Douglas de- clared that while he personally did not vote for the convention postponer ment the majority of bhe executive did and "I don't think their judgment in deciding to permit all energy to be put into the federal convention can. be ohallenged," he said. Stressing the importance of the fed- eral convention, Mr. Douglas said: 'Our system of taxation has become a monster quite . out of control. It's one of the issues we have to be pre- pared, to meet at Ottawa," he said. The speaker declared that Mr. Ben- nett was giving up the leadership - only because of poor health. Explain- ing that the growth of the Dominion has been gelded by the principles of the Conservative party he said Oan- ada is entering on a new epoch and the Conservatives must meet chang- ing times and lay the basic princi- ples for the next generation's activi- ties. The fact tthat Mr.' King denies an election, as Mr. Hepburn did a year ago, the fact that the Conservatives are vu}neralble in that they must choose a new leader and revamp their party and the growing disunity, an point to an early election, the speaker said, They're now beginning to think of grasping time by the forelock, run- ning the chance of losing two years in office on the ohance of gaining four or five. Mr. Duplessis is tear- ing the Federal, Liberal Association in Quebec to pieces. Any astute poli- tician is not, going to allow this to go on until he is swamped. I feel there will be an early election. The issue was handed to the Rowell Com- mission. It will be the question of ,trinity versus disunity. Let us in July bring forth our policy of unity and force the issue. The very ground on which we stand and have stood is li- able to be swept from under our feet. Let us prepare to forestall or meet an election ipl the latter part of the year," he said. • JUNIOR PLAYERS SHOULD PLACE NAMES AT ONCE President Elmer' D. Bell and Ed.

Kippen Church Observes Anniversary Services Last Sunday, 15th ins.t., was a gala day for the people of Kipper. The church was most beautifully decorat- ed with abundance of seeing flowers and evergreens for the Young People's Society anniversary services. The guest speaker for the day was the Rev, J. F. Anderson, of Wingbam, who quickened the mind and warmed the heart of everyone present with his searching and persuasive messages. In the morning Mr. Anderson. dealt with "The Task of tbe Christian," taking bis text from Isaiah 44:17: "And the residue thereof he maketh a god," indicating that too often we give God merely the leftovers of our time, energy and earnings, when as devout worshippers our task is to give God the beet that is it us, and the best that we have. Miss Margaret Crich's beautifully rendered solo, "This Is My Task," at. the close, co- ordtiated perfectly with the theme of the discourse. Miss Crich. also sang "Trees." Her singing was greatly en- joyed and much appreciated. At the evening Beit of worship Mr. Anderson preached from Matthew 4:19: "And He saith unto them, come follow Me and .I will make you fishers of men." The minister made it•plain,that Christ comes to those who expect Him in the church, in prayer, in the home. What a transformation it would make if we were to expect Him in busi- ness, on the farm and in the kitchen. He came to Carey at the cobbler's benoh, to Livingstone at the factory loom. He comes in all the normal ex- periences of life, if He is expected, and often when the isnot expected, but He meter intrudes. Christ wants followers, • but He challenges us to let Him do great thi cgs' for tis', and la tern to de great things for Him. He takes the bitter pian hind, Makes him loving; the, careless 'ligan and makes him ati ardent Weorlter. Hie transforming power .is felt ebyevaq- one Who manse y iitteialTata to fit luw BJlm.

The choir, at the . morning service sang "Precious Narne" and In the evening, 'Wake the Glad Refraln" The services were a source of inspira- tion and reproof to every attentive participant in the services. On, Mon- day evening a play, "Nora, Wake Up," was admirably presented by the young people of Chiselhunst, and between the acts very acceptable instrumental music was furnisshed by Messrs. Ken- ny, Sharp and Finlayson. Mrs. Frank Graham, of London, is - spending a few days,at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bell of the Lon- don Road. Mr. Sterling McPhail and daughter, Mrs. Warner, of Porter's -Hill, visited at the home of Mr. William Ivison, of the village during the past week.

The Mission laircle held its Meeting on Tuesday evetling at the tome of Mrargaret Sinelaitr, and opened by singing, "This is My Father's Weald," followed by Mrs. J. llendereon led.d- ing in prayer, After the Scripture reading taken' by Margaret Jdittes',.the roll call wast responded te.
