The New Leader
In selecting Mr. Walter C. Thom-
son as theirnew leader, Ontario Lib-
erals have chosen a man whose dyn-
amic personality and forceful plat-
form manner will do much to place
Liberal policies in a favorable light
before Ontario voters.
Mr. Thomson, long a prominent
figure in Liberal circles, proved his
capacity to attract the attention of
the voters when he captured the rid-
ing of Ontario in the last federal
election. A son of the Manse, Mr.
Thomson is a veteran of the First
War, and a practising lawyer. Since
1932 he has operated a large dairy
farm near Pickering, Ontario. He is
no hobby farmer, however, having a
keen appreciation of the problems
facing the farmer, and the back-
ground knowledge necessary to en-
able him to arrive at remedial mea-
sures.
The party under its former leader,
Mr. Farquhar Oliver, was apparent-
ly not able to kindle that enthusiasm
so necessary to victory. While there
was general confidence and 'approval
in the sincere approach of Mr. Oliver
to his problems, this in itself, while
a requirement for sustained success
in government, proved insufficient to
attain victory. Mr. Thomson's ca-
pacity, his vigor and energy, may
well be the means of sparking a cam-
paign that will result in redeeming
Ontario for Liberalism.

On Signing Petitions
There is an element in any com-
munity consisting of people who at
the drop of a pencil will sign their
name to any petition or plea that is
placed before them. They accept
without qualification the. story told
them and never question the purpose
behind the request, or enquire as to
the sponsorship. It is something like
the people who never bother reading
the fine print in an insurance policy.
The plight of twenty garment
workers in New York City is an ex-
ample. They signed a document
which was circulated in their shop by
persons allegedly interested in pro-
moting peace. It was not until some
days later, upon receipt of a letter of
thanks from a Communist -front or-
ganization, that they realized the
petition was in fact the Stockholm
resolution, propagandist instrument
of the Stalinist party. In anger, they
addressed a letter to the union ex-
ecutive, part of which read as fol-
lows:
"Here we are, loyal American citi-
zens, dedicated to peace and freedom,
knowing that the Soviet Union can,
on a moment's notice, stop the killing
of our young men. We have been
misled by fraud and misrepresenta-
tion to sign a petition we never in-
tended to support. We want our
signatures back. We don't want to
have anything to do with Commun-
ists or to be on their mailing lists.
We ask the union to please intervene
in our behalf to obtain the return of
our signatures and punish the people
who fraudulently stole our self-re-
spect and dignity."
One can sympathize and under-
stand their indignation. Yet they
have only themselves to blame. It
would be a law impossible of enforce-
inent that would require everyone
presenting a petition to precede a re-
gtuest for signature with a statement
as to :its purpose. Inherent in dem
ocraey is a, responsibility on the citi-
zen tO use his common 'sense in evalu-
ating, etitions, in which no mention

Communistic propaganda.

Guessing the Weather
This is the time of year when all
manner of pepple begin predicting
the kind of winter we are to have.
Some base their predictions on the
actions of animals and insects, while
others rely on their sense of. feel or
smell, or on other equally unreliable
tests.
One of these prognosticators, in
the Eastern United States, says we
are to have another mild winter. He
has been watching the woolly bears
which really aren't bears at all, but
are a furry variety of brown and
black caterpillar. If the brown band
around the woolly bear's midriff is
wide, the winter will be mild, he says.
If the band is narrow, we are likely
to need lots of coal for a long hard
winter.
During recent years we have tend-
ed to place our faith in scientific gad-
gets and have been prone to discount
the conclusions drawn by those who
kept an eye on Nature's creature's.
There was a time, however, when the
Indian, particularly, established an
enviablerecord of correctly guessing
the weather. Perhaps if a story
from the West is correct, the Indian
is coming into his own again as a
prophet. It was reported not long
ago that someone up in the wilds of
British Columbia had been much im-
pressed with weather predictions
provided him by an Indian neighbor,
and wanted to know how he did it.
"Easy," said the prophet; "I listen to
the radio."
What Other Papers Say:
Is Growing Up
(Exeter Times -Advocate)
Exeter shortly will become in name
what she has long been in merit—a
town. The history of this fine vil-
lage is a long and honorable one. The
village has, in the past, suffered her
reverses but her citizens have faced
up to every issue and have turned
defeat into new forms of progress.
Folk coming to the town on various
purposes bent, have said with en-
couraging unanimity that Exeter is
a good place to live. Her hope is that
when she takes on the robes and re-
sponsibilities of a town that she will
find a new era of prosperity.

No Peer For Huron
(Goderich Signal -Star)
The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine
is in Canada, but although he visited
the Ontario County that bears his
name he did not pay similar respects
to our neighbor town up the -Lake
Huron shore. We judge from an edi-
torial reference in the Kincardine
News that this neglect on his earl -
ship's part is due to the fault of the
Kincardine people in not extending
an invitation to him.
Says The News: "The present peer
is the tenth to bear the Elgin title
and fourteenth carrying the name
Kincardine. His grandfather, James
Bruce, came in 1847 to Canada as
governor, and since this area was in
the process of being settled during
his term of office it was natural that
he should be honored by leaving his
name on sections"of the pioneer set-
tlement. Thus Bruce County, the
towns of Kincardine and Port Elgin,
the townships of Bruce and Kincar-
dine, the one-time hamlet of Port
Bruce and other centres have more
than passing interest to the present
Earl. Perhaps the next time he
chooses to visit Canada, Bruce will
take advantage of the occasion to
pay him honor."
The incident has set us thinking
about whether our own town might
look for recognition from some lord-
ly personage. There was a Lord God-
erich, for whom the town was nam-
ed, but so far as we have learned the
title is not now existent. Huron: of
course, is strictly a Canadian title.
Many of the townships of Huron
were given the names of members of
the Canada Company over a hundred
years ago, but it is doubtful if their
descendants, if there are any, aro suf-
ficiently interested to cross the ocean
and let us see thenal.

I went to see Doctor McDonald.
There was a trace of something
close to fear in me. After all, dur-
ing
uiing the war didn't the big, tough
soldiers faint at' sight' of the
needle! The doctor was calm; .he
nodded and told me to take off my
shirt. During the time that he
was putting down the instruments
on a white cloth, he kept telling
me of his exploits in Paris during
the First World, War.
He sat down across from me and
Look a swipe at a spot on my up-
per arm with some alcohol. I had
v:sions that he was going to shove
a %Peeked needle into my arm for
about two inches. In place of
that, he barely pricked the skin.
"Just a dab of serum on each
Ride of that and see what hap-
pens." The relief was worse than
the fear, it seemed. I went home
in a confident mood. This non-
eense about vaccinations was all
wrong. Nothing happened either.
Two or three days went by and
still there was no sign of a thing.
You couldn't even find where he
had pricked the skin.
I was going to call the doctor in
the morning and report. That night
I got dizzy. The kitchen table took

a foolish desire to swing around
the room and I had the utmost
d;ffieulty in getting up to bed. All
night long I was alternately wak-
ing up and engrain about demons
with long vatclig uation needles chas-
ing me over dark water. The next
day my arm was too big to go in
the shirt sleeve. I started for the
barn to do the chores, but dead-
eel
eoideel to get back into bed.
That little, tiny speck certainly
started making its presence known
in no uncertain terms. It got red
and black and purple, and the arm
seemed as if it were going to ;
burst. I had been warned not to
put a bandage over it. The doc-
tor had also warned me not to
scratch it.
Therewas a great relief when
the swelling started going drown.
At last I would get some relief.
No such luck! The swelling went
down and then the itch started,
and it really started, For about
three days it was sheer torment,
and I caught my other handgoing
up to tear into a scratching ses-
sion about a thousand times a day.
The night were worse. Then all
of a sudden it stopped. It nar-'
rowed downy to a email red scar,
and this started to heal up very
nicely.
V.,ben Doctor McDonald saw it
he g, unted and said, "That's' a very
good one." Doctors certainly get

Letters to the Editor
TEN EGGS TO THE DOZEN
Toronto, Nov, 9, 1950.
The Editor,
The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: Your editorial, "Ten
Eggs To the Dozen, Or 40 Hours
a Week," made interesting reading,
and spotlighted (among others) the
indisputable fact that the farmer
is, if one may say so, geared to
work and abundance; and that, by
the very nature of his dependence
upon elements beyond his control,
it is not possible for him to emu-
late the urban trend towards "more
money for less work" as you put
it—or the columnist's term: "work-
ing the leastest for the mostest."
While there is a whimsical over-
tone to the suggestion made by the
writer in your Dundalk contempor-
ary's columns, concerning "a 10 -
egg dozen" as a counterweight to
the urban target of "a 40 -hour
week with the same take-home
pay," I find a certain element of
iron logic in that vivacious brain-
wave. It cannot be successfully
denied that, of all. the people at
work, and who meet ever whose
products meet) in the market -place
it is the farmer who has held the
quality line plus the quantity line.
at pre-war standard's. The urban
businessman—not to mention the
lads aiming at "more money for
less work"—has been cunning no
end in 'monkeying' with his final
product, either in the way of qual-
ity or quantity, in his effort to
meet the demands of urban labor
on the one hand, and beat price -
controls on the other.
I'm not sure that the process of
"snatch as snatch can" is working
out notably successfully? It is
common knowledge, for example,
that there is no substitute for qual-
ity, either in a man or a bushel of
wheat. How to get back onto that
road of pre-war quality -quantity
standards, that is the question?
Certainly it will not be done by
attempting to forget quality and
by a steady drift downward to
shoddy substitute materials. Yes,
sir, the farmer has held the line.
This urban hat is off to him!

REMEMBRANCE DAY
The Editor,
The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: Is it Remembrance
Day, or is it a day we are trying
to forget? We must be trying to
forget, or, at least, we are trying
to keep it in obscurity, when we
declare a paltry three hours of
November lith for remembrance.
What is wrong with us Canadians?
Why don't we declare the full day
a national holiday? If it was not
for the Armistice id our favor, we
would not be able to celebrate the
24th of May, or the First of July,
or any such national holidays. If
we are trying to forget the tears
and sorrows, let us make it a day
of celebration; let us have horse
races. or something in comemora-
tion of our fallen heroes -
I wonder what a mother, who
has lost her son, or wife who has
lost her husband in combat, thinks
when set aside a diminutive three
hours of November 11th for re-
membrance. Let`me impress upon
you that I am not thinking of my-
self. I served in. the Canadian
Army; I didn't suffer any incon-
venience; I had the choice posi-
tions, and through the generosity
of the Canadian Army I had
lengthy- courses in the technical
schools in Toronto and Ottawa, and
the Nova Scotia Technical College
of Engineering, and was discharg-
ed, a year and a half ago with a
comparatively large gratuity.
Think of the countless number
of innocent children in the theatres
of our last war, who suffer the loss
of an arm or leg, or both, and
plenty who have lost their eye-
sight. Let us•. remember! Don't
think of me or the rest of my col-
leagues, who sat around the gravy
table in Ottawa. Think of the boys
who served in the foxholes, and
those who paid the supreme sacri-
fice in a likewise capacity. Let us
remember!

The 'Helen MacLeod' Marks
Milestone for Bayfield
(By Lucy R. Woods, in the London Free Press)
When the "Helen MacLeod 1I"
sailed, out of Bayfield harbor Mon-
day,
osclay, August 7, 1950, the last vest-
ige of a local boat -building indus-
try and the old sailing clays left
this port.
For several years this craft had
laid up on land. Her owner, Capt.
L. H. 'D. MacLeod, could not be
tempted to part with his pride and
joy. She was a part of himself
and when he was at the helm she
responded to his touch. He and
his brother, the late William John
MacLeod, had built .her in 1925.
They, and a brother Dan, who went
to Port Dover, followed in their
father's footsteps.
For generations the MacLeods
had plied their craft as deep sea
fishermen off the Hebrides, Scot-
land.
The first of the clan to arrive
in Bayfield in the early days were
Hugh and Dan. As children they
and their brother Duncan had emi-
grated'from the Isle of Lewis with
their parents Who settled at In-
verhuron in 1834. After e few years.
here Dan MacLeod, with his wife
and four children, Malcolm, Hugh,
Teenie and Annie, moved back to
Inverhuron. He had kept two
sailing vessels there -'the "Hail-
storm" and the "Sweepstakes"—
from which he fished from, time to
time,
The herring run was ori, in Oc-
tober. And on October 4, 1889,
the two vessels, • loaded with nets,
set out for the Golden Valley.' Mr,
and Mrs. Dan McLeod a.nd Malcolnn
MacKay were 'aboard the " Liaii-
storm," While. Dan NLacLecid's- son,
Malcolm, and John McLeod, also
a resident of Inverhurbn, •manned
the "Sweepstakes.' All were lost
in a heavy sudden squall.
Hugh MacLeod's wife died child-
less, and for his second spouse he
chose Miss Anne MacLeod, a
daughter of Highland Jack Mac-
Leod, of Ripley, to whom be was
married in 1879. They raised a
family of five sons and four daugh-
ters—Jack, Dan, Lewis, Malcolm,
Bobby (killed in action in World
War I), Kate, Ella, Maude and,
Maggie.
Hugh MacLeod built boats for
himself and also for sale. Among
then were "King William," for
John Pollock; "Scarlet Flag," 'Wit-
ty Ann" (a sloop rig for herring
fishing), and "Helen MacLeod," (a
schooner type open Huron boat
with square stern).
In the violent storm of April 10,
1880, Hugh MacLeod almost lost
his life while sailing the "Maggie
Marks," with John Wilson. Due to
the high wind and, blinding snow-
storm, he was unable to get be-
tween the piers. (Murdock Ross,
sailing John Ferguson's boat, "The
Lady Dufferin," was the onlet one
who made port). The "Maggie
Marks," originally a .22 -foot boat
which Hugh MacLeod had length-
ened to 30 feet by cutting her in
half and adding eight feet amid-
ships, was driven against the long
clay point.wbich ran out into the
lake at that time, Jack Wilson.

Hugh MacLeod was washed up
against the clay bank and drawn
back again by the furious waves
before he could get a foothold.
He was rescued by Mrs. Tudor
J. Marks who had gone down to
the point in the storm. She could
hear ,his cries for help and going
