The PC candidate heaped Pralse. on hie constituents and refereed to them .as the "kind- liest, most sensible, comp.* sensiest and down to earthiest people". he had ever known. He said his term as their representative at Toronto had been filled with rewards and frustrations, but he was indeed rewarded by the support' and backing of so many people. He also paid a tribtite to the late George Ginn, • a past presi- dent of the Association, term, ing him a "dedicated worker whom we will miss very pinch," Noting such achievements as the opening of „ the Ontario Hospital at Goderich and the Maitland River bridge at Salt, ford, he said he had much pride and satisfaction in what has been done for Huron in the past five years, Agrees Wholeheartedly The high words -of praise came again as MacNaughton introduced Davis to the aud- ience es having "mature at, tributes" despite his compara- tively young age, and Davis re- turned the compliment by de- scribing the Huron member as "one of the most highly regard- ed men in the Roberts' cab- inet". "They (the riding) are fort- unate to have you as their member and candidate," he told MacNaughton. The educationalist also added words of praise for the leader- ship of Robarts and described him as a man of great ability, integrity and sincerity. "We have a positive platform and many accomplishments," he told the partisan crowd, "and we don't have to resort to the tactics being employed by our opposition." He Chastised the opponents of the Ontario Trade Crusade and noted the project had much to do with the fact that 97.2 percent of the people of On- 'tario are gainfully. employed. "Our economic policies have been effective and the people are working," he proudly noted. Turning to agriculture, he, reiterated the announcement made during the campaign by Hon.

Stresses Education The Peel County lawyer at, tacked his favourite topic — education—with gusto and not- ed that during his four years he had yet to hear one word of constructive criticism from the opposition. "The Liberals are bankrupt and devoid of ..any platform to PUt before the people," Davis remarked, "They have nothing to offer," He went on to call the Do- minion-Provincial agreement on vocational schools "the most significant thing ever done in education". "We do believe in young people who want to work with their hands and our recognized program • assures that every young person can take a course that will enable him to take his place in the community." Explaining the recent Youth Branch he announced for his department, Davis said its prime purpose was to interest those who had left school too soon to take some further type of education so they can be. of value to their community, He added there were 250,000 young people who needed such assistance. Davis also reported that one- third of the total Ontario bud- get—or $400,000,000—was being used far education, showing that the PCs are most concern- ed with the future of young people. Answering criticism that the government was not prepared for the vast growth needed in universities, he noted that $70,- 000,000 was ear-marked for this year,' up $25,000,000 froth last year. He also said that by 1967 there would be space in tech- nical institutes to train 46,125 students, counting both night and day classes. However, he' noted too that the government was interested in holding costs and he said he hoped his conference on school design, to be held This week in Toronto, would come up with some ideas on ascer- taining 'ways of keeping costs down._ "Schools shoUld become the focal point of the community," he noted, "and must be used outside the curriculum of the school." Other speakers at. the meet- ing included Elston Cardiff, Huron MP; George McCutch- eon, PC candidate in Huron- Bruce;. Clinton Mayor W. -J.

No sooner had MacNaugh- ton's name been moved and seconded by Exeter Mayor Eldrid Simmons and Clinton's Doug • Freeman, than Durnin strode to the microphone and announced that, "there will be Detonate with S UNWORTHY WALLPAPER Although it probably wasn't planned, he was perhaps given the indication that things had to be speeded up due, to his de- lay and when he rose to speak, three men also started to pass their hats for a collection. How- ever, both acts went on at the same time without much confu-, sion, although some paltform officials were visibly embaras- sed by the hitch in signals. Singer jokingly told officials some of MacNaughton's col- leagues would not be too happy to have him referred to as the number two man in the Tory party. He pointed out that both Hon. Robert Macaulay and Hon. William Stewart regarded themselves in this position. MacNaughton is only a "Charlie-come-lately" and he hasn't been on the scene too long, he stated. Giving some encouragement to the local. Liberals, Singer noted that the presence of plat- form guest Murray Gaunt, who pulled an upset for the Liberals in the Huron-Bruce riding, made him realize that "there's no riding that can't be won". "There's no magic attached to Charlie MacNaughton," he stated, "and there's no reason why he can't be replaced." Noting the Conservatives had decided to stand on their rec- ord for the campaign, Singer explained he had spent a great deal of his time searching the records of the daily newspapers to refresh his memory on some of the "highlights" of their rec- ord. He then wont on to mention some 30 items of "mismanage- ments" that had taken place during their term of office. He recalled the Northern On- tario , Gas scandal that has again been brought up and has created further embarrassment for the Conservatives; the Sarnia Indian Reserve land deal where party members had bought land for $2,000 an acre and had sold it to Ontario Hy- dro for $6,000 an acre; the race track charters; social club charters; the White River in- cident uncovered by Winter- meyer; the holding of hotel stocks by a leading official of the Liquor Control Board and also by the wife of a recent chairman; the troubles in the municipal affairs department where no less than three (lit- no further PoMinatiene, we will have a motion that nominations be closeti;" With a twinkle in his eye,.

During the evening, Mrs. Doug Freeman, Clinton, pre- sented a bouqUet of floWers to Mrs. MacNaughton, (Continued from page one) He also asked the same ques- tion in regard to the minister of agriculture, William Stewart, five-year, Lorine Denomme; member for Middlesex. The well-known seed farmer questioned his supporters if they would choose a man with no municipal experience and one who had never looked after a. road in his life if they were looking for a man to head a department that spent millions of dollars' every year, , He went on to note that Stewart also had no formal education for his job, and hint- ed that he (Strang) would be a possibility for the position of minister of agriculture if the Liberals formed the next gov- ernment. Although he emphasized he had no authority for making any promises, he noted that if he should defeat the minister of highways; riding officials would be justified in pointing out to Wintermeyer that he bad "taken out the number ,two man (reference to MacNaugh- ton) and you (Wintermeyer) should have a place for him." In contrast to Stewart's lack of qualifications for the job, Strang noted he held a univer- sity degree in agriculture, was a member of the Professional Agrearian Association, was a 25-year member of the Cana- dian Seed Growers' Association (only Huron member), and had been a municipal clerk for 17 years and an assessor for 15 years. "Could I not make as good a member as the one we have?" he questioned. Continuing on an agricultural theme, Strang said he would press to have the Ontario Agri- culture College at Guelph desig- nated as a university if he were the Huron representative at Queen's Park. He went on to add he would take the two-year course out of OAC and suggested he would Move it into this section of Western Ontario. "It would be a wonderful thing to have a school such as that ie Hensall, Seaforth, Exe- ter or Clinton," he noted, add- ing that the two present schools of this nature at Kemptville and Ridgetown did not serve fully the type of agriculture in this area. "We should have a centre for research and keep the young people in agriculture," he sug- gested. Strang said he felt a Liberal win was almost a certainty and it would be unfortunate for the people of the riding "to be on the outside looking in" in both 'the Federal and .Provincial gov- ernments, He explained that the man (MacNaughton) Who is the pre- sent member had tied his little buggy to the Robert's band- wagon, and when the band- wagon runs off the road on September 25, the HttIe buggy Will be going with him, In requesting Support for the election, Strang noted the Lib- erals weren't too far behind last time and added that if theY Won this tirrie, people would talk about ft froal one side of Ontario to the other. lsio Magit Guest speaker for the night was Vern 8iriger, Liberai mem- ber for York (Toronto riding) in the last Legislature, who caused officials some tittiotts moments when he arrived one hour late for the Meeting, which VMS 46 Minnie§ late in Staffing. ferent ministers have been ap- pointed in the past year. After a lengthy exhortation on theSe and other ''scandals and mismanagement", 'Singer said he could have gone on for at least another hour in present- ing other such incidents. Referring to the White River incident where two clergymen had asked for an investigation over the local chairman of the Conservative AsSociation own- ing a hotel, liquor store, gov- ernment building and • curling rink that had received govern- ment grants, Singer stated that the minister of municipal af- fairs, Hon. Wilfred Spooner, had set aside the request for an in- vestigation with "kingly arro- gance". "When the honorable minis- ter for municipal affairs runs out of words he resorts to "Spoonerisms", or more simply, he repeats the same words over and over in a different order and for emphasis uses "damn" and "bloody" as punctuation," he stated. (These were words — damn and bloody — used by Spooner in a news story when he said an investigation was not neces- sary by his department. "My ,reply to Mr. Spooner, to coin a "Spoonerism", is they "damn" well have to in- vestigate if they're paying any "bloody" attention to the pro- blems of the people of Ontario," Singer stated. Referring eto the aforemen- tioned scandals, Singer said these were part of the• Conser- vative record and this is what they have to answer to, and it didn't matter if a Tory member was number two or number 10 man, he was still part and par- cel of the record. Good Prospects President Beecher Menzies told 'the convention that the Liberal prospects had never been better in the past 20 years and he said he hoped the spark from the win in the Huron- Bruce riding would spread into Huron. The Conservatives are not happy in the way our leader is attacking them and Mr. Win- termeyer is going about point- ing the finger one day and Re- harts is ordering an investiga- tion the next day, he stated, Gaunt also said he felt the Liberals were in their best Strang Reconsiders And Accepts PAINTERS and DECORATORS Wallpapers Nights - Venetian Biindt Draperies 33 HURON STREET -- NU 2-0t4.2 Husband And Wife Head Clubs At a joint' meeting held in Clinton, Tuesday, Bill Chowen and his wife, Bev, were installed as presidents of the Kinsmen and Kinettes.

"I hope after September 25 you can say you have a mem- ber on the side of the govern- ment," he stated after predict- ing a Liberal win. During the meeting, a min- ute's silence was held for two "venerable and highly respect- ed" members who had passed on, Hugh Hawkins and William Jewitt. 0 BAYFIELD Sing At Congress ' Rev.
