The steps and passageways were filled and a number were turned away. Mr. D. F. MacGregor, of McKillop, re­ turning officer, was in charge of the .meeting. Mr. Thomas McMillan >wlxo; has represented - the xidjng ,at Ottawa was again the Liberal choice while opposing him is Mr. N. W. Trewartha, Conservative. Both candidates were given rous­ ing. receptions as they appeared on the platform . Mr. McMillan was the first speaker and he was follow­ ed by Mr. Trewartha and Mr. J. C. Hudgins, of Brampton, who spoke in the interests .of Mr. Trewartha. Mr. McMillan had ten minutes to1 re­ ply. There was a certain amount of heckling du'ring the various address­ es. Mr. McMillan in his address stress­ ed the importance of Empire unity and lauded the Dunning budget for what it will accomplish in moulding Canada with the Empire and the Government in particular. He spoke of the clean brilliant record of the MacKenzie King government of which he was proud to be a member. Mr. Trewartha in his. remarks criticized the Liberal administra­ tion calling attention to the amount of butter that had been shipped in­ to Canada from Australia and New Zealand. Mr. Hodgins, in support­ ing Mr. Trewartha, touched largely on the railway situation in Canada. 'Bennett -and Mrs. Trewartha were presented with beautiful bouquets of flowers the presentation to the for­ mer being made by Miss Katharine Armstrong and to the latter byfMas- ter Britain Sanders. Reeve B. M, Francis read, a shore address of welcome and extended the -freedom Bennett and The first wartha who sidents of Exeter and vicinity on the wonderful reception they had given to Mr. Bennett and the man­ ner in which the town was decor­ ated. His remarks were very brief. Mr. Bennett appreciated the large audience present. He was impressed with the beautiful homes and the congeniality of the people he had met in Exeter.. He spoke of the men and women who had built up from the forest this beautiful country and he hoped’ the present generation would hand on to the children that came after them a legacy more val­ uable than they had received. He spoke of those who had gone out from Huron to the West and other parts of Canada to make their contribution in other parts of the country. Every­ where he finds a deep and abiding interest in the affairs of the nation but he stated that the present condi­ tions could not continue much longer without proving a menace. Canada was. finding it hard to build a nation. Her population is around ten millions in a country larger than the United States which has a population of over one hundred and ten million:. If as-a nation Canada is to prosper we must 'realize our interdependance and work,, for the good of one another. He referred to conditions on the farm stating that some farms were for sale at the cost of the buildings. People are leaving the farms because they are mot --profitable.; and ..attractive. This the speaker attributed to the policies of the King government. Canada, he said, was the only coun­ try that had lowered their tariff since the war and to-day we are buying from other countries what we should be supplying ourselves. Mr. Bennett spoke of the Australian and New Zealand treaties which allowed butter into a market that the Can­ adian farmers should be supplying. He stated that the Conservative par­ ty stood for an even chance and fair competition with no favors. As, Canadians we have much' to be thankful for. We have all the re­ sources that go to make a prosper­ ous- cduntry. He illustrated what it meant to spend a five dollar bill in Canada and what it .meant to send it away for foreign goods. He spoke of Empire trade and of the Empire Conference to be held this fall. .The meeting closed with cheers for Mt. and the them, 'of the town to Mr. his party. speaker was Mr, Tre^ congratulated the re- Bennett and Mr. Trewartha singing of the National An- ACCIDENTS Miss M.

SEVEN IN CENTRALIA DECIDES TO BUILD NEW PARSONAGE The congregation or Centralia and Whalen met on Friday evening of last week and decided to erect a new minister’s home this fall. This en­ terprising step comes as. the final one in a long program of building. Eight years ago Centralia had her church burned to the ground and im­ mediately the people rose to the oc­ casion and built a beautiful new red brick church costing $20,000.00. Three years ago a new shed costing $3,000.00 was also erected and the entire cost of both structures has been met with the exception of about $400.00. The Whalen church forms an afternoon appointment to the pastoral -charge ana both congrega­ tions are joining heartily in secur­ ing a new and cohimodious house for their newly inducted minister the Rev. A. V. Robb, late of Both­ well. During the -strain of heavy local demands th© congregations have not neglected the larger fields of service and the .missionary bud­ get of the church has been loyally sustained. Already, ovdr $2,000. has been subscribed for the new par­ sonage and under the leadership Of the hew pastor Centralia and Whal­ en congregations look forward with enthusiasm to this new undertaking Which will make their church pro­ perty one of? the very finest among the rural charges of the Cenfereace.
