On Staff Since '29 Miss Rena Fennell ketires From SDHS A valued member of the staff of the Seaforth District High School since 1929, Miss Rena Fennell is retiring this year because of her health. Her resignation was ac- cepted with regret at a meeting of the board held last week. Miss Fennell was given a year's leave of absence two years ago: With that exception she has taught continuously for 26 years. • While she has no particular plans, she will continue to reside in Sea - forth. Other staff changes were dis- cussed by the board, who will ad- vertise for two new teachers. Consi'derat'ion was given also to landscaping work that will be re- quired to be done aboutt the. Schott., who were permitting their names to go before the convention, ten minutes were allowed. • Mr: Armstrong, who addressed the convention, first indicated that he appreciated the honor of having again been nominated to contest the riding. He recalled that he had been the candidate in the last election in 1952, and while at that time he had not been suc- cessful, he felt that the `chances in 1955 were much better because of the deteriorated position in which the Frost Government was in. The manner in which the af- fairs of the Province were con- ducted, Mr. Armstrong said, is proof in itself that the chances now must be better. Certainly, he went on to point out, there must be an improvement in provincial administrations. While he was not a candidate, he gave his un- qualified support to whoever the candidate might be. Reeve Stands Reeve James Doig, of. Tucker - smith, told the meeting that the riding needs the strongest possible candidate that can be put up. In his opinion, the top-heavy Tory administration was not good for the people. It would be to every - ones benefit to reduce the major- ity to the end that effective gov- ernment might once more return to the province. As a result of his experience in municipal affairs', he 'JAMES, R. SCOTT felt that problems existed in each of theP ro vinei Prtm al de a eats and that each o f thesese Pr oblems could only be solved to the satisfaction of the electorate by a - change ih government. While he was pre- pared to allow his name to stand, he indicated that in his opinion it -was the responsibility of the meet- ing to elect the individual `AO, in the opinion of the delegates, was best qualified to redeem Hui. - on. In any event, regardless of the outcome of the contest, he as- sured the meeting that he v; ould contribute to the hest of his ability to the end that a Liberal was elect- ed in Huron. Warden Earl Campbell. reeve of Hay Township, congratulated the association on the large at- tendance which was present and suggested that this was an cation of the attitude that prevail- ed not only throughout the riding of Huron, but in the Province with respect to the manner in which provincial affairs will be conducted. He assured the asso- ciation of his complete support. but said that because of his duties as Warden of the County, it would not permit him to undertake addi- tional responsibility. Pointing out that candidates in various fields had been unsuccess- ful during recent elections, Hugh Hawkins, who said he was'among other things a sportsman. said that he hoped the day would come when it would be possible for, him to stand as Liberal candidate in Huron. Mr. Hawkins said "that 'time is not now, and in the mean- time I will pledge myself to do everything I -can to assist what- ever candidate you may select." Agrees To Be Candidate Recalling that he had been nom- inated three and one-half years ago, but at that time had not felt that he was in a position to ac- cept, James R. Scott told the meeting that the time had clime when steps must be taken to elim- . nate the- slip -shod government which he indicated was in power at Queen's Park. Referring to the campaign which had been con- ducted in 1952 by Mr, Armstrong, he said that in his opinion it would have been impossible to have carried out a more intensive campaign, or a more practical campaign, than that which had been organized by Mr. Arm- strong. He felt that in spite of the fact that the riding had been represented by the government side for several -years, Huron was getting the' small end of the stick, and that it was getting less than its fair share. Indicating hit will- ingness to • accept a nomination, MI. Scott recalled that his inter- est in Liberalism had extended many years to a time when he had discussed with the "late Thos, McMillan. just what Liberalism stood for. Mrs, W. L. Whyte said that be- cause of other responsibil'itie's, it Would be lin ossible. „for her to glecept a no idiom'And like .Mr. Whyte, who spoke after her, indi- cated that 100 per cent co -Okra - tion was necessary between all elements of the party, and - that each person who professed an' in- - terest or faith in Liberalism, must work as a team. Scrutineers named by the chair to count the ballot which was tak- en, included Garnet Hicks, of Us - borne Township, Bruce Erskine, of Goderich, and W. L. Whyte, of Hullett.. The result was announc- ed by Mr. Hicks. During the eve- ning Mrs. George Hess, of Hen- sall, acted as pianist. Frank Harburn, president of the Western Ontario North Liberal As- sociation, of Kitchener, spoke and stressed the necessity of organiza- tion if the campaign was to be successful. He pointed out that frequently organization was car- ried out quite properly at the top,, but some times the lower levels were neglected. He urged the as- sociation to take steps that would result in contact being made from the top down to the individual vot- er in each of the polling sub-- divisions. ub=divisions. - We need better government, and to get this we need a change of government," Dr. A. R. Camp- bell, of Guelph, and former well- known Hensall resident, told the meeting, Dr. Campbell is a past president of the Huron Liberal Association, who was in Hensall for the meeting, which, be said, provided an opportunity for. ,him to meet many old friends. Support Necessary Senator W. H. Golding, address- ing the meeting, pointed out that in elections which he had fought, he found that one thing that help- ed more than any other, was the knowledge that there were many friends in all parts of the riding that were working hard on his behalf. That knowledge, he said, • provided the necessary inspira- tion to go on -and win. In his opin- ion, the riding could be redeemed if all the Liberals in the riding stuck to their principles of Lib- eralism and got out to see that , a Liberal candidate was elected. W. 1!. Gregory, president of the Ontario Liberal Association,. was introduced by W. G. Coohrane, of Exeter, secretary of the associa- tion, and described the organiza- tional work that was going on in each of the 98 ridings across the province. He -assured the meeting that the nomination procedures which were taking place in Huron, were not unlike those that were being conducted in each of the other ridings.I-Ie said thatd e - spite, rumors to the contrary, and despite criticism which had aris- en on /last occasions, there was 100 per cent co-operation between Liberals in the federal field and Liberals in the „provincial field, and that there was no dit'ision of opinion as to the necessity of Lib- erals throughout Ontario working together to insure the return of Liberal candidates. Leader Speaks " Hon. Farquhar Oliver. leader of the Ontario Liberals, was intro- duced by Hugh Hawkins, and the appreciation of the meeting was expressed by Andrew Y. McLean. Mr. Oliver lashed out at malad- ministralion in the Frost Govern- ment and said, there was a strik- ing resemblance between the pre- sent Government and the Henry Government \vhich was swept out of power in 1534. He compared the two govern- ments saying both "laaste'd their substance" by poor administra- tion. He said the Abitibi scandal • in 1934 compares with the high- ways scandal which he said had become "the greatest political scan- dal the province has ever known." He said the municipalities get more in grants but pay four times as much in taxes. In 1942, he said, the Liberal Government col- lected a hundred million dollars in taxes, but at the present time, the Frost Government is collect- ing four hundred million dollars. He said the argument loses weight when a person learns the taxes are four times as high. Mr. Oliver may,. have hinted at one part of the Liberal platform in the coming election when he rapped the Government for fail- ing to take more county roads in- to the provincial road System. He said this would lighten the burdertL on the taxpayers' shoulders in theme° municipalities. Turf Club Active; Plan August Meet Seaforth Turf Club is completing arrangements for a meet in Sea - forth on Wednesday. August 3, in conjunction with the Old Boy's' Re- union, W. H. Elliott, president of the club, said this week. Ata recent meeting' of clubs in the district, matters of common interest were discussed and meet dates agreed on.
