Armstrong, party can- didate for Huron, said that Liber-rADDRESSES LIONS ale have a program and the chief issue in this election is the hos- pitalization plan. Our opponents have none. V. W. A. JONES "The Conservatives in Ontario are. trying to ride on the accomp- lishments of a federal government to get a new lease of life, trying to take credit for getting old age pensions for all over 70 when it was the Liberal administration at Ottawa which had taken the lead and given this form of assistance. "The only thing wrong with a contributory hospitalization plan is that I. thought of it first," Mr. olt saxd. 'ST,,ite• greet .govern- ment ha ""a d c+hence ?' build o un d more hospitals, but with its record of indifference for the welfare of the people failed to do so." He n;.ted That AttorneyGeneral Porter had shown signs of irrita- tion with the Liberals. "It won't matter much after No. vember 22, because he is going to be out of a job along with his col- leagues," declared the party- chief- tain. It amused him, he said, to see a lot of Conservative propa- ganda on the menu for one of the dinners at Toronto. It included the names of 19 cabinet ministers. Mr. Thomson wondered why the premier stopped at that number. He might ju' t as well made it 50 which would have left the party three private members to bargain with. He recalled the 22 points an- nounced in a Conservative plat- form back in 1943. They had all been forgotten, he said. "The premier at that time must have fallen out of the wrong side of the bed to come up with those 22 points," continued Mr. Thomson. They must have been going back- wards ever since." . The Liberal, leader maintained private Conservative members of the Legislature had been relegated to the background. Their work had been taken over by government - appointed commissions. They had no chance to represent the people in their ridings. Comrnissions did all the work, he claimed, A Conservative Government had not been willing to face the prob- lems of the day. Instead it dodged the issue by naming commiseions to study public questions over a period of years in hopes they would be forgotten and pose no further troubles for the Govern- ment. "The commission on forestry is an example," said Mr. Thomson. "This report was filed. in 1947,.yet no aetion bad been taken until Last September when Major -Gen. Ken- nedy, who prepared the report, was appointed an advisor to the lands and forest department. "So far in this election. the Con- servatives have adopted 34 of my suggestions for giving Ontario a better government." Mr. Thomson was emphatic in his assurance a hospitalization plan could be worked out. The money would be found, he stated, and sickness—the greatest poverty -mak- er in •the world—would bear less heavily on those strickep. He knew of families facing hospital bills as high as $9,000 and he could see nothing wrong with a plan which would make Ontario the province of the good samaritan." The Liberal party leader said the number of former mayors, wardens, reeves and councillors running as Liberal candidates in the election was a clear warning municipalities resented the author- ity taken away from theta by bhe Ontario MUnicipal Board. Munici- palities had been compelled to do things against their will, all. be- cause Queen's Park had assumed dictatorial powers over citie0, Using the life of Gandi, as. an example, Rev. W. A. Jones point- ed out t o members of the Lions Club last Monday night how God bombards the human soul, result- ing in a release of spiritual ener- gy, as a scientist bombards an atom releasing its atomic energy. "Man is 100 years behind science. He is becoming a slave to his own invention," Mr. Jones said. "A remedy for this grave situation is for youth to experiment in the field of truth, spirit •and mind. In this way a solution to the world prob- lems e s ma.y be found." The club intends to entertain the members of the champion High school rugby team, its. coach and the ne-,v- teachers of the school in the near future. Committees were appointed for the various Christmas activities of the club. The club will pay an official visit to the Brussels club on Monday, Nov. 26. • Co-chairmen in charge of the meeting were George Hays and Dr. J. A, Gorw-eIl, Members prepared T.B. Christ- mas Seal literature for mailing at the opening of the campaign on November 19. • Teams Organized • For Five -Pin Bowling Seaforth has organized itself in- to eight bowling teams., which go to Goderich every Friday night, Last Friday night Jack Moore had the high single, bowling 266, ,and Norman MacLean had high triple of 653. Team standing is: Visitors 12 Buffers 9, Wreckers 7, Rippers 7, Banners 7, Pinwackers 2, Grind- ers 2, Hotshots 0. towns and villages. Mr. Thomson said the board members drop in on a city --per- haps one, sometimes two, nod ap- proval of a mnniclpal plan, then send the municipality a stagger- ing bill. He knew of one case where an official of the Board sat in a hotel room for a few minutes, looking wise, then went back to Toronto and billed the corporation for $600. A Liberal Government, he prom- ised, would give municipalities their rightful authority taken from them by Conservatives. Bus lines operated by municipalities would not have to pay the gasoline tax, Their vehicles never travelled be- yond the borders of their own city or towel. Assistance to working men, in- jured on the job, would also be given by a Liberal Government, Mr, Thomson said. In New Yorlt State they have a plan which pays workmen incapacitated going• to or from work. A similar system was planned for Ontario if the Liberals were elected. Mr. Thomson said he regretted that his opponents had been forced to deal in personalities. The per- sonal attack on him meant only one thing—"the Tories were in a corner swinging wildly." Frank Fin.gland, K.C., Clinton lawyer, an old class mate of Mr. Thomson at law school, introduced him to the audience. Mayor Ben W. Tuckey, Exeter, introduced the two candidates, while other speak- ers included A. It. McLean, Liberal M.P. for Huron -Perth. 1. Kalhfleiseh, Zurich, was chair- man df the meeting. On behalf of Liberal women in tile riding, Mrs. W. L. Whyte, Seaforth, thanked Cr, Thomson. MISS 3.1. McLEAN GUEST OF HONOUR AT PRESENTATION "I love these little people, and it is not a slight thing that they who are so fresh from God love us." Little did Charles Dickens, some 100 years ago, realize how appro- priate these lines would be. on an occasion such as that of last Fri- day night, which marked the end of 41 years of teaching kindergar- ,.n for Miss S. I. McLean. Miss McLean was guest of honor at a presentation held for her in First Presbyterian Church and ar- ranged by, the stuff and pupils of Seaforth Public School. While speakers representing past teachers and principals, students and the Department of Education all offered her their best in con- tinued health and happiness and congratulations on her many years of teaching, their remarks were synonymous of the words of Dick- ens. They told of the true love that Miss McLean always had for her pupils, and the respect her pupils had for her. • Chairman for the evening was D N. Eastman, i.r:ncipal of the Public School, Words of welcome were expressed to the large turnout by Rev. D. Glenn Campbell, minister of First Presbyterian Church. Representing the Department of Education was J. H. Kinkead, in- s; ector of schools; of past teachers anti principals, E. R. Crawford, Stratford, and a former principal of Seaforth Public School; of pupils, Alvin W. Siliery, for Professor J. It. Scott. Musical selections on the program included a duet by Mr. and Mrs. James A. Stewart, both for- mer pupils of Miss McLean, and selections by the school choir, un- der the direction of Miss M. E. Turnbull. John Beattie read one of his oe-n poems: "To Miss S. I. McLean: An Appreciation": Our friend is here tonight, your friend and mine, Would that I had the gift to write a line— A line that would express in language plain Our debt of gratitude to Miss McLean. Not many lives today such gifts Possess; Somehowwe're losing out in kind- liness; o „ liness; So many strive for riches, power. or fame: You chose that better part — an honored name. Your life—a ministry of kindly deeds. Your love—of little children and their needs; You sought each day to plant the Golden Rule In infanit class and kindergarten school. These are the things that make a lite worthwhile, That seek to share with other folks a smile; And through .the years, so many smiles you've given; And smiles, you know, are little bits of Heaven. Tonight we recommend a well-earn- ed rest, So pleased to know you're flying 'way out west. "But haste ye back," Don't make too long a stay. Seaforth won't be the same with You away. At the conclusion of the program Miss McLean, wearing a corsage presented to her by the, Home and School Association. was presented with a purse of money ,by F. E. Willis, on behalf of the Public School Board; a radio, on behalf of her former pupils, by Miss Jean Scott, a member of her first class, and Muriel Fraiser, a member of her last class; and a book of mem- oirs by Miss -M. E. Turnbull, which contained congratulatory messages from the school inspector. past principals and teachers, .preseat staff, and class rolls of all her classes from 1910 to 1951. • The kangaroo uses his tail for a third leg when running, • Parliamentarians To Act On Joint Committee Two Western Ontario Liberal members, A.

H. Strong, of Ilowick, said there had been too much leg- islation to get rid of foxes, and referred to the dissatisfaction felt in urban centres that they get noth- ing from County road levies. He suggested that something should be done to relieve capital costs of new hospital buildings by working out a plan whereby con- struction costs would be shared by surrounding municipalities, county and province. Deputy -Reeve J. H. Graham agreed with Reeve Strong. He said there is a wide difference between urban and rural results from coun- ty road levies. Goderich, he said, pays $12.000 and has no say.

Salt has been used in road surfaces in this county and it may be found expedient to use it in conjunction with calcium chloride, "Some counties in that State are using two-wny radios' in their road equipment. These are very useful in keeping contact with snowplows and other equipment on the jobs.
