SEAFORTH, Friday, January 30th Keeping God Faith " In the face of bitter, adverse opin- ion of many people, we believe that a very large majority of Canadian people will agree that Prime Minis- ter King has honored not only his election pledges, but the pledges he twice repeated. In the. Canadian - House of Commons, by his decision to hold Ja plebiscite on the question of conscription for overseas service 'for the Dominion. The rather synical view, So loudly expressed in some.quarters, that cir- cumstances have released him from his election and Parliamentary pledges and left him open to adopt a policy, directly .opposed to "those pledges is not .O -he that should be advocated in this or any, other dem- ocratic country. If the leader of any political party is to be entirely free to advocate one policy which he believes will secure his election and equally free to aban- don that policy for one which is the direct opposite, when he becomes the Government leader, we would say, that government' by . the people no longer exists, vV e wouldsay further, that when • the issue is one. of life itself, and that is practically- what conscription is, the responsibility of a government to keep its pledges, unless it is released from them, is an -'obligation that no• government can shirk withouta Wise betrayal of the rights of the people: There is no doubt about the -pledge made by Mr. King on the issue of conscription for overseas service. It was rude, as we said, not only dur- ing the election campaign, less than two .years ago, but repeated in Par- liament,on two later occasions since that election; and on neither of these occasions did any colleague- or- any member of parliament raise a dis- senting voice. To seek release from' those pledges, if it should be found necessary or ad- visable in .the Government'* cininion,, it na4 recourse to two methof! _ plebiscite or election TO hold an e1ec- tion at this time would place neither Mr. King norhis govern lent in dais.-„ e`er, but it rluicl seriously endanger the unity of the country at a time ` vhen`unity, and unity of all, is abso- lute'lyessential to victory. Because of that, Premier King chose the plebiscite, and because of it, while he is beimvilif1ed and abus- ed in some particular quarters, there is no citizen of Canada who 'can truthfully say he has not kept the good faith with the people. What About Huron ? . In hiscomments on the temper- ance rally held in Massey Hall, Tor- onto, last week, Mr. Hepburn is quot- ed as saying., among some of • the milder things about that rally and the people who participated in it: "In Ontario we are going to stand by the principle of local option. If a municipality wants to dry up, the sale of` liquor, the means is provided whereby it can do so by taking a vote of the people." What about Huron? Huron vot- ed itself dry many, , years ago, but yet, in face of that vote ' and in face of the decision of every court in Can - ala upholding that vote, the sale of liquor continues' in Huron, and Mr. Hepburn put it there and is ekeeping ..it •there. This is not a discussion on the neritsT or demerits of local option, toth1 prohibition or otherwise, but rather •as comparison of the inan- er in which Government leaders like; and .keep .. their pledges to the t1e. I•.y. :lir 1 his pledge to -the Cana.. e, a, Icing has called for ' To'ri " f .coii- .Nit�.- the 'l�,uest o _ . tardly; Contemptible and cowardly,." What is a local option or a vote but a ' plebiscite of the people? What would you call Mr.' Hepburn's attitude towards the plebiscite in Huron? The County . Grant To The International The 'Huron County Council, at itis session last week, passed a grant of thirty-five hundred dollars- to assist in the promotion of the Internation- al Plowing Match to be held in Hur- an'County, near Seaforth, in October next. That is a considerable sizil1 of money, but considering the advant- ages that will accrue through the agricultural education it will impart, the people and the money it will bring into the county, and the ad- vertising Huron will derive through it, it was a very small investment for such large; returns. In fact, the council could not have done anything else or anything less, in spite of the opinion of some mem- bers to the contrary. As far back as 1938 The Expositor has been ad- vocating the holding of the Interna- - tional Plowing Match in Huron, and for several years back a number of farsighted men . who know the 'edu- cational features and the advantages accruing .to the county from the holding of ° this great International annual affair, have been spending a Iot of time and considerable money in their ' endeavors to have Huron chosen as the site. ----Success crowned their efforts last •- year, and many preliminary "-ar- rangements have been , made. For the council, at this stage, to put any stiimbling block in the path of the greatest event Huron has ever stag- ed, or is likely to stagethe next__-•' half century, would have been- more than narrow and shortsighted. It would have bean insult to the in- telligence of the people of Huron. War or no war, the plowing match will he held this year. If Huron re- fused it, there are a dozen other counties only too eager to have the opportunity, so the claim of war- time- economy does" not hold good. In ,fact, the International , is, gener- ally looked upon as a wartime effort, and a most necessary one, to assist - in Canada's great problem of pro- ducing not only enough for our- selves, but enough to feed the people in the old land as well. - So the International Plowing ' Match will be held in this county' in' 1942, and we hope and believe that our -people will live up .to. the slogan, r ar uroil F'nr Hospitality:" 1 Interest Item* Picked From Tho Huron Expo*ltor of Fifty and Twenty-11va Years Ago. , • From -The Huron Expositor February 2, 1917 .

Boyle) r i "BUILDING BLOCKS" Santa Claus provided PatriciaAnn with a set of those small col�•ed wooderi'bloeks. When the blocks are piled up they are supposed to go iato a definite pattern and make a house or some such structure. I didn't 'pay much attention to the blocks at first but there • came one Sunday afternoon when it was rain- ing outside. Patricia Ann came along with the bolC and the bright colors lured me down on the parlor floor to try my hand at architecture; Why`I ever did will always remain a mys- tery to me! It was fun putting up the blocks in spit, of the fact that she had "an annoying fashion of poking a finger into the foundation of the building just as it was getting up nicely. She also was in such a pranksome mood that she used` tq' poke •some of the blocks under the chesterfield. • Just when 1 would have a fine house built, the •realization would come that there. were not `enough to put either a roof or a chimney on it. Then would come the scramble to find the missing blocks and the •house would be knock- ed down. The main source of trouble came when I went to put the blocks back in the box. Everything was perfect at first. The long ones fitted' in along the side and then the medium sized ones and then the small' ones. When I was finished filling the box there were at least a dozen of var- ious sizes and shapes remaining and evidently no place to put them, We're all human enough to imagine that we are pretty good at the games played by ,children. In vain I tried to remember the way the blocks had looked in the box when they were all new. They had been so pretty 'with rows of red, blue and green blocks making a perfect pattern in the shal- low box when you opened the lid. • When the supper meal came along I was still trying to find room for the :J • various •blocks. Patricia Ann just "sat and watched me. In fact I even, no- ticed a smirk on her face as 1 rulle- pled my hair and squeezed a 'round one in .one place only to have three or four odd-shapped ones come flip- ping out at the other side of the con- tainer. 'l'yIrs. Phil assured me that all the blocks should go in the box. I blood- ed on the problem at supper -time and •all during chore -time. " I began to •re- member those "sanity" tests where they hand a suspect a tray with a lot of.round•and square blocks and ask him to put "them all back in their proper places. No wonder they find a man to be crazy. He couldn't be anything else if he got mixed up with an arrangement such as this one that Patricia Ann has. ' Long after Patricia An went off to bed I poured over the problem Of the blocks. I could narrow it down to three or- four, but they,•_alwgys. re- mained outside. I had a notion of hiding one or two under a cushion but remembered that Mrs: Phil would only (find them and then there would be plenty of "razzing." • • I went back to the newspap r and 'fried-Ao- read. Those crazy blocks seemed to come bobbing utp before the printed words. Y just had to get them back in their proper places. I was much like a Man, -.-playing one of - those "nickel" machines, I see down in Ed. Cutt's ,barber, shop. They get angry and figure that it can't beat them. I was going back in to try out an- other round of the blocks determined to put them back in their places. Mrs. Phil went into 'straighten up the par- lor. She reached down, re -arranged the blocks into a new order and slip- ped them all back into place. Since then I have positively refus- ed to play with Patricia Ann's blocks, It is too dangerous a .game 'for. me. ST A SMILE OR TW There was so' much coughing in Blackpool County Cniirt that. Judge Bradley announced that a 3 p.m. he -would set aside one minute for cough- ing. At three o'clock a hard cough from a man in court reminded the judge of his •promise, and there was a pause for a minute—but no one coughed. • • The kind old -lady ,;had . just, used the public telephone for the first time and had give the operator quite a slot of treble. After she had finished her conversation she called the ex- change.' "I'm very sorry to have given you so much trouble, Miss," she said, "so I'm• putting another nickel in the slot for yourself."

Before leaving Canada to fly the Atlantic to Lisbon and England, I had visited many of the training centres and schools in Ontario connected with the British Commonwealth Air Train- illg ''plan. I had followed the yoi{ng men through their courses of training here and was particularly anxious to see them on active service in Eng- land. It was a ,beautiful, • bright, sunny morning about the end of September when I left London in a car provided by the British .Council.
