Sabota g e - tendance Of Over ' 2,000.
On Saturday, and Sunday last
the Seaforth Lions Pool had to
be closed to ell bathers .becauue •
of the brokenglass that had been
thrown into the water the aecond'
night of the Carnival. Dozens of
pop bottles 'were, deliberately
broken on the flag stones and
then thrown into both the deep
pool and the children's pool; with
the result that two children re-
ceived seriously cut feet,nd
necessitated the closing of the
pool on two of the hottest days
•of the season. Accidents will
happen, but deliberately bounc-
ing bottles off the stones into the
water is pure sabotage, and the
Lions Club will prosecute, to the
full extent of the law, any person,
boy or girl, who tries to repeat
the offence. .

NEWS OF WEED
FROM UENSALL
, A well attended convention of the
C.C.F„ the first to be held in the rid-
ing of South Huron, was held in the
Town Hall, Hensall, on , Wednesday
evening, July 21st, and adjourned at
1.30 Thursday morning. Harold Jack-
son, of Seaforth, was the able chair-
man.
Five were nominated; Reg McGee,
Goderiela; Harold 'Jackson, Seaforth;
Mks.•. Lloyd . Taylor, Exeter; Wm. M.
Sproat, Seaforth, and Edwin Ches-
ney; .Seaforth, Each nominee spare
briefly and, all withdrew their names..
Bt!ockeibank, M.L.A.,` Leader
of the. Opposition in the Saskatche-
wan Legislature, conducted the or-
ganization. ' Officers appointed were:
President, Joseph Forrest, Londes-
boro; vice-president, Wm: I:andsbor-
ough, Clinton; secretary-treasurer;'to
be appointed by the executive. •-
The speaker, Mr. Brockelbank,
addressing • the. gathering, • said that
the C.C.F. differs fundamentally 'from
the old -political parties in that it was
organized by the farmers .and work-,
ing people and"is supported directly
by them financially with work' for the
C.C.F. cause and with Wear votes,
This fact explains the phenomenal
growth of the Co-operative Cotnmon-
--wea4,h Federation, Because• the, peo-
ple own •and control the C.C.F. 'and
lay down its policies, the pre-election
promisee of the C.C.F. can be fulfilled,
neither, Conservatives nor i.,i)4►erals
can make such promises and keep
them. because those parties receive
their support from such monoply. in-
durtries as the power :corporations,
steel companies and .liquor manufac-
turers. The speaker continued to say
that the C.C.F. Government in On-
tario can develop the national resour--
es of. the province in the interests of
the people, not for profit for ,private
companies and . to supply nickel' and
copper to Japan to make war on
China.
The Q.C.F. can give the people, in
this province medical services, ir-
respective of the ability of the indi-
vidual .to pay, increase old age pen-
sions to' $30 per month and also in-
creaae mothers' allowances, provide
equal educational opportunities, and
many others. C.C.F. policies carried
into practise can bring security,
peace and plenty.
• A convention will be held' in Sea -
forth Monday evening, July- -26th, to
nominate a candidate to represent the
party.
