BOARD OF EDUCATION
of
A welcome relief from the severe
drought of the past few weeks came
on Sunday morning in the form iof a
thunderstorm accompanied by .a, very
heavy downpour of rain, hail and
wind. Pasture and crops have been
heeding rain badly and the showers
•of Sunday and again on Tuesday
morning 'have given to the land a
splendid soaking and have given a
hew lease of life to the parched pas
tures, the grain, roots and vegetables
There was some damage both from
the hail and wind. Hay will be
short and feed scarce and many of
ithe farmers have sown late crops to
supplement the feed. Seed men have
been taxed to capacity to supply the
demand and prices towards the last
rose proportionately.

BALLANTYNE, COOPER AND
ELLIOTT NOMINATED
Hensan Hall Packed and Many Turn
ed Away.
Three candidates will contest the
new riding of Huron in the Provin
cial election on Tuesday next. The
namc-s of James Ballantyne, Inde
pendent Liberal-Progressive; William Cooper, Independent and George H.
Elliott, Liberal-Conservative, will
appear on the ballot in the order
named. Nominations were held on
Monday at Bonsall in the Town Hall
and the nomination papers were fil- ed w^h William Frayne, Returning
Officer., The hall was crowded to
capacity to hear the addresses of the candidates following the nomination,
and many persons were turned away.
The meeting was orderly, with very
■little heckling and all went well un
til just at the close of a three hour
session, Mr. Elliott in the heat of his reply cast a reflection on the in
tegrity of one of the speakers by
saying that he “is what I call a
blood-sucker.” Pandemonium reign
ed for several minutes with “boos,”
“shame”, “that’s dirty*, "sit down*
and “take it back” came from all
parts of the audience. Finally the
speaker said that if he had said any
thing that he shouldn’t have said,
he would take it back. He was al->
lowed to proceed with his reply.
The chair, while the addresses
were being delivered was occup
ied by Mr. H. J. A. MacEwen, of
Goderich. It was agreed that each
candidate with his supporters should
be allowed one hour. The first
speaker was Mr. Elliott who got ,a
good reception. Mr. Elliott stated
that he had contested the riding in
19 29 and had been given no mean
vote. There had been no mud sling1-
ing and he hoped to run this elec
tion fair and above board. He had
lost the last election by 32 votes.
The night of the election he thought
that he had been elected but next
morning found that he was financial
ly embarassed. He 'hoped this time
the electors would give him more
than would make up the 3 2 votes re
quired to elect him on- Tuesday next.
Mr. James Ballantyne was the
next speaker and he also received a
great ovation. Mr. Ballantyne stated
that he was a practical farmer and
the value of economy had been im
pressed.-upon him. He had learned
to practice- economy in the years of
plenty and the lean years were less
hard to bear. Mr. Ballantyne re
ferred briefly to the increase in the porvincial debt and the mismanage
ment of hydro. The debt, has been
increased to over six hundred mil
lion dollars. Think of the interest
on that debt, said the speaker; it is
making the rich richer and the poor
poorer. He spoke of the tremen
dous debt on our highways amount
ing to $180,0'00,000. Nineteen mil
lion dollars had been paid by the
people last year in licenses, gasou
line tax, etc., but not one cent of this
had been paid on the highway debt.
Mr. Ballantyne stated that if elected
he would try to do in a larger field
what he had tried to do in the small
er and that he would try to do some
little thing to lift the standard of
living in he county of Huron,
Mr. Wm. Cooper, the last candi
date to speak, received the greatest
ovation. He was a native son of the
riding and thought that when honors
were being passed around a native
sen should have them. He claimed
to be a straight independent candi
date. He would not go down to
the House to oppose the government
■on all matters but would vote for
good legislation comng from either
party. He claimed that both old
parties should be scrapped and a
middle party put in power. Mr.
Cooper’s remarks brought forth many a hearty laugh and his address
was not taiken any too seriously.
R. J. McMillanMr. R. J. McMillan, of Seaforth,
spoke in the interests of Miy Ballan
tyne. He claimed that those pres
ent had something more serious to
think about. He spoke of the debt
of the Dominion of Canada and of
the Province >of Ontario; of the in
terest charges, comparing it with the
average 'earning power of the people
of the province. He stated that t'he
Henry government was the greatest
spendthrift government in the his
tory of Ontario and had debauched
the confidence of the people by con
tracting to spend hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for highways after
announcing that an election would
take place.
Fred J. McAllister
Mr. Fred G. McAllister, barrister,
of London, next spoke on behalf of
Mr Elliott. He was surprised at
Mr. McMillan taking up so much time
in speaking of the debt of the Dom
inion of Canada. He could not find
i a single occasion that Mr. Hepburn
' as a member of the federal govern
ment had raised his voice during the
time those millions were spent. He
was also surprised that Mr, McMil-
t,,,lf1Allan had complained of the Agricul- ers. The groom s oiit to the . [Urai Development Board loaning
was a tray of Adam silver and !Ais0|ajxty million dollars to- the farmers,
a silver combination salad tray. At-jWag jt not an indication that the

cession of Stephen, had the misfor
tune to be thrown from a wagon on
Monday of last week and received
injuries to his back that have confin

CONFIRMATION
Fourteen candidates were admin
istered the sacrament of confirma
tion at Trivitt Memorial church on
Sunday evening by Bishop Seager.
The service was in charge of the
Rector, Rev. M. A. Hunt, who was
assisted by the choir. A solo “Lord
of the Night” was sung by Mrs. N.
J. Dore. An inspiring message was
delivered by the Bishop from the
text, Acts XX: 7 in which was stress'-
ed the vital relationship between
Confirmation and Holy Communion.
BIRDS AND FLOWERS
Birds and flowers were the attrac
tion at a special service in the Main
Street United Church on Sunday un
der the auspices of the Women’s As-
sociati n. There was a profusion of
peonies, iris and columbines in a
beautiful setting and the singing of
the birds throughout the service and
especially while the music was being
rendered delighted the large con
gregations which were present both
morning and evening. The special
speaker of the day was Rev. C. J.
Moorhouse, of Brussels, former pas
tor, and he was greeted by many of
his old friends who were pleased to
hear him again. In addition to an
anthem by the choir at the morning
service Kathleen and Lillian Kestle,
Thelma Hockey and Norma Wilson
sang a selection. During the open
ing exercises Misses Patsy Martin
and Jeanette Taman decorated a
large white^cross with flowers. The
children of the Sunday School with
their teachers occupied the centre
pews of the church. Mr. Jas,
cis, sang a. solo at the evening
vice. Rev. Mr. Elliott conducted

During the thunder storm early
Sunday morning just before daybreata
lightning struck a chimney on the
residence of Mr Samuel Bradt in Ex
eter North and knocked off some of
the brick. ISome of the shingles
were knocked off the roof and a few
of the rafters broken. Electric
lights were blown out and the ser
vice box damaged. 'Some of the
rooms were filled with soot from 'the
chimney. Fortunately the damage
was no worse. A maple tree in front
of Mr. Wm. H. Thomson’s was also
struck by lightning.
A NARROW ESCAPE
What might have been a very ser
ious accident happened at Dashwood
on Friday evening at a ball game
between Dashwood and Elimville.
One of the Elimville players had
struck at the ball but the bat slipped
from his hands and flew some dis
tance striking Mr. Harold Bell on
the forehead with such force that
the bat broke in two. pieces and the
pieces again struck two other Elim-
ville players, although not injuring
them seriously, Harold was taken
to Dr. Taylor in Dashwood who
dressed the wound which, if it had
been very little lower would have
been fatal. We are glad to report
that he was able to be around next
day driving his truck, although feel
ing the effects of his accident con
siderably.
