?aofining. Rain did not diiscellrage••'
a gathering of citizens in from,~;ot.
the Town Hall, where Mr. Peaarsgn,
was extended a eivie Welcome Sad
delivered a short address.'
Senator W. I3, Golding, Seaforth,
welcomed the distinguished party!
and called on Mayor E. A. McMas-
ter to voice the town a official
greetings, Mayor McMaster, rqe
marking that it was a pleasure -to
welcome to Seaforth "one of Can-
ada's
anada's most outstanding citizens,"
said he believed Mr, Pearson would
carry with him as far as New York
memories of Huron County's .'(na-
tural beauty which he Would'•aee
in part during his drive Wednes-
day afternoon.
Lauds UN Delegate's Work
In his introduction of Mr. Pear-
son,
earson, Andrew Y. McLean, Liberal'
candidate for Huron, stated that it
was a particular pleasure to wel-
come
elcome and introduce •a man who has
contributed so much to Canada and
who occupies, as UN General As-
sembly President, such a leading
position in world affairs,
.Expressing first his appreciation
of the welcome proferred him by
the Seaforth Highlanders Band,
Mayor McMaster and others of the
official group, Mr. Pearson stressed
that he was pleased to be welcom-
ed not as a party campaigner, but
as a Minister of the Crown and as
President of the TIN Assembly.
Referring to the United Nations,
the speaker praised the work of.
the local candidate, Mr .McLean,
who as a UN delegate, was one o
those who represented Canada den
nng
iff -
ing the recent session of. the Gen-
eral
eneral Assembly..
Bi -Partisan in Approach
Again mentioning the UN, r.M
Pea •.son said that in view of the
recent 'developments lit Korea' it
was hoped the fighting would short-
ly come to an end. Because of these
:developments, he added, he was
legying for New York Thursday to
discuss a reconvention of the .
'Assembly, The UN President not-
' ed, however, that he was glad to
be able to come to Huron before
leaving for New York the next day.
Mr. Pearson assured his audience
that at the UN, where Canada's
delegates are bi-partisan in their
political approach, the Dominion's
representatives are anxious to re-
present all Canadians in that for-
um of the world's nations.
The speaker was thanked by J.
D. Gemmell, Seaforth, who remark-
ed that in a pre-election period,
when information from the press
and radio tends to become confus-
ing, "a man like Mr. Pearson can
clarify the way in which to vote."
Speaks To Brussels Audience
I Speaking before a capacity audi-
ence at. Brussels Town Hall in the
afternoon, Mr. Pearson termed the.
Opposition's charges of extrava-
gance, waste and irresponsibility as
"absurd,"
Earlier he was paraded through
the main thoroughfare headed by
the Brussels Legion. Pipe Band.
Supporters from the village and:
the Townships of Morris and Grey
turned out in full force to greet
the minister.
Commenting on recent charges
made by John Diefeubaker, P.C.,
against his department, relative
to top-heavy expenditures, Mr.
Pearson said the figures were far
from accurate,
Continuing, Mr, Pearson said the
Liberal Government can't be too
far wrong, "Our progress, condi-
tion of our country and reputa-
tion 'still remain good. Canada stili
is the envy of nearly every coun-
try in the world."
The speaker agreed that present
taxation was high, but attributed
this to the rise in defence emerg-
ency appropriations and social
security benefits, "We have little
to promise for this election," he
said, "but we are coming to the
people on our record-"
Supper At St. Columban
Other speakers at the Brussels
meeting included: Mr. McLean,
Chairman Clifford Dunbar, Ethel;
Frank Fingland, Clinton, president
of the Huron Liberal Association;
Reeve R. B. Cousins, who tendered
a. civic welcome, and Robert Ben-
nett, Brussels, who thanked the

Mr. Pearson and his aecompany^ing
party motored to St. Columban
