THE log STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION Sterling Tower, Toronto 33 years in Business Help build this new: order of security with freedom. Protect the social gains already made: Vote for your Liberal candidate on June 11th: Published by The National Liberal Committee RIV Security with Freedom! Your Vote on June 11th can bring lasting security to your work, your home, your family! Ii Security for your WORK Here are some of the definite, practical steps taken by the Liberal Government to give secu- rity to home and family by assuring well-paid post-war jobs for everyone: For Veterans, — The most generous plan of any United Nation to get returned men started in the type of work each of them chooses. The Liberal Government is determined that every man and woman coming home to Canada shall return to the land of greatest opportunity in the world. For Workers -- About a third of all. Canadians depend on exports for their livelihood. Liberal plans provide for increasing our exports 60% in value over those of 1939. For Farmers — Acting on the belief that all Canadians prosper when farmers do, the Liberal Government has arranged that they can im- prove their farits and equipment under a new loan plan and has arranged to put a floor under the prices of farm and fishery products. To stimulate employment for all, the Liberal Government has created a special Department of Reconstruction which is now in operation, and which will co-ordinate private and public enterprise: Security for your HOME The Liberals believe that the home is the heart of the nation. They aim to give Canadians every possible facility to build and furnish better homes! With Government assistance you can build a home in the country, town or city. This will make jobs for the building trades, and those who make building supplies—and those who manufacture household equipment and fur- niture: New Homes for Canadians — The Liberal Government's new $400,000,000 National Housing Act, now on the statute books, enables hundreds of thousands of Canadians to get money at low interest and on long, generous terms to build, renovate or enlarge their own homes. Now that Germany is defeated, plans dawreeallilnregas, in operation for at least 50,000 Other practical, workable measures for the security of your home are the Liberal Govern- ment's laws for Unemployment Insurance and liberal Old Age Pensions: The Liberals believe in doing what can be done, as soon as it can be done. If returned to power on June 11th, they will carry on and expand the sound, constructive work already started. Security for your !FAMILY • hilly Allowances — Starting in July, parents who benefit least from income tax exemptions will receive Family Allowance cheques every month to help them get better food, clothing, shelter and education for their children so they can grow into healthy, vigorous Canadian citizens. These cheques will amount to between $200,000,000 and $250,000,000 a year: As direct spending power, this will do much to help in achieving the Liberals' objective of full employment. Health — A National Health Plan will ensure that everybody shall be taken care of while they are sick and the best measures medical science can devise shall be employed to prevent disease: Despite the efforts of Drew, Bruce, Bracken and other reactionaries, the Liberals are deter. mined that human interests, the needs of men, shall be placed before "business as usual". The Liberals have faith in Canada, a united country, and in their ability to continue to build, with your support, a more abundant life and greater opportunities for Canadians. • 411•••••010111111•11,1 W:iMS"asiai,amss'ss 211111111111111 1111111111111 STANDARD Choice PEAS, Square Deal 20-oz., 3 for 29c STOKLEY'S PUMPKIN, 28-oz. 2 for 25c AYLMER DICE DBEETS, 20-oz. .. 2 for 23c AYLMER INFANTS FOODS, 5-oz. tin . . 7c PRY'S COCOA, 8-oz. tin 19c Braeside BUTTER, pound . 37c White BEANS, 3 pounds . 14c Shredded.

C. F, MEETING WAS HELD HERE Hon. J. H. Brockelbank, Minister of Municipal Affairs in Saskatchewan Was Speaker The Hon. J. H. Brockelbank, Mini- ster of Municipal Affairs in Saskatche- wan, addressed a C.C.F. meeting in the Wingham Town Hall on Saturday evening last. Mr. Brockelbank appealed to his audience to take a greater interest in democracy and politics than they have ever done before. He emphasized the sacrifices that have been made to at- tain victory so that we might be free to take our part in politics and dem- ocracy. "The Saskatchewan Government" he said, "has passed legislation giving greater security to home owners and' farmers than they have ever had be- fore. The farm home and buildings and 160 acres of land are made ex- empt from foreclosure proceedings. It is also provided that when farmers' crops are of little value they shall not be required to make payments on mortagages or agreements of sale. This will prevent farmers from sliding back into debt during years of poor crops. It means that when wheat does not grow, interest does not grow."' "Much has been said about the C.C.F, and property" he went on r6 say. "Opponents of the C.C.F. have stated that a C.C.F. Government would take over everything. This is far from the truth. The C,C.F. believes in the social ownership of the means of production and distribution. If people are to be truly free, free to have a job, free in the sense that they know they will be able to have food, cloth- ing and shelter, if they are to be free in this sense, they must own and con- trol the means whereby they live. This is social ownership." "Some things are best to be owned by Federal Governments, some by Provincial and Municipal Govern- ments; Co-operatives can and do quite well own, control and operate largest part of property in Canada can and will be privately owned and at the same time be social ownership. Farms, businesses, small factories and many other things can be privately owned without giving to the owners power over the lives of others which will en- able" them to exploit labour or the consumer". "Government printing has in the past been handed out to friends of the political party in power. We now have a Government owned printing plant.. It will save for the people of Saskatchewan about $75,000. a year, which the former government handed over to its political friends. "Saskatchewan has established an insurance business — fire, automobile and casualty — to give service to the people of the province and save the profits for them. Saskatchewan has passed the best labour legislation in the world." "The Saskatchewan Government has increased grants to needy school dis- tricts and is following a plan which will level out the costs of education in the province." "The Saskatchewan Government has increased the old age pension by, $3. per month. 'Mothers' Allowances have also been increased and are now the best in Canada. Old age pensioners and thdir wives or husbands, recipients of mothers' allowances and their de- pendents get complete free medical and dental attention in Saskatchewan. All cancer treatment is free and all treatment for mental diseases in the provincial mental hospitals is free. Substantial grants are being provided for municipalities which set up a plan to provide approved health services." Mr. Brockelbank said, "On June 4 and June 11, you have the opportunity• to choose between the C.C.F., -which has proven that it can give good gov- ernment in Saskatchewan, or either of the old political parties with their record of the past". Story of CKNX Told By W, T. (Doc.) Cruickshank The capacity at Yemen's Grill was taxed on Friday evening to accomo- date the Lions and their' ladies, It was an exceedingly interesting evett- ing. Guests of the club were the wives of Lions in the services, Mrs. R, S. Hetherington, Mrs, Elmer D, Bell, tMrs, -W. A. McKibbon, Mrs. J. R. M, Spittal and Miss Verne Walker, Miss Irene O'Connor, Miss Margaret Brophy, Bob Cook and Frank John- ston of the staff of CKNX. Lion Tamer Gordon Buchanan was iverP,ac.aive and at times had to call for assistance in his duties of extracting fines, Ile was ably assisted by Lion Charles Roberts.' Fines were levied for many reasons, but All Walker was nipped for wearing a bachelor button in place of a Lions button. A feature was a draw for a baby which was won by Mrs. W. R. McCool. The baby turned out to be a little grey kitten. To save enriching the coffers of the fine box the V-E Day quartette, Cliff McAvoy, Harley Crawford, Omar Haselgrove and Clayt Gammage sang "My Wild Irish Rose". The most, mirth promoting incident was when four daughters were called upon to make-up their fathers. Bar- bara Ross turned her father into a bowery lad, Dorothy Hamilton made her 'Dad a bowery belle, Verne Wale ker made her father up to resemble an old time 'bewiskered gent, and Mary Lu Connell made her father .up so that he rivaled any peroxide blonde 'seen here is some time. Mary Lu won the prize for her artistry. ,Murray Johnson was called upon by Lion President Wilf. French, to give a report of the auction sale. Murray told of the work clone and the system used and that the proceeds were $700 which he considered very good. Mur- ray, who was chairman of this corn- PAGE TEN. WINGUAM ADVANCE-TIMES mittee, received the Lions Roar for his excellent effort. The formation of the Frolic Com- mittee was announced. Hugh Car- michael is the chairman of this com- mittee. , Lion Will. then called upon Frank Johnston, commercial director of CKNX to continue the programme. Frank gave an enlightening talk on "What goes on behind the scenes in Radio". He explained the extensive preparations' which were carried out prior to each 'broadcast by the various departments. He especially Mention- ed the continuity department, control men, engineers and office staff. He introduced Miss Margaret Brophy, who heads the program, "At Home With the Ladies"; Miss Irene O'Con- nor, who organized and features the program, "Women's Club of the Air"; and Miss Verne Walker, the head of the continuity department, and who also conducts the "CKNX Cadets", Lion 'Doc" Cruickshank was called upon to tell the story of CKNX. He gave a very interesting talk on the growth and development of the station, He told of many of the difficulties en- countered in the early days of the station, some of them very amusing now but serious then, He said the radio venture here started when there Were but 12 broadcasting stations in the United States, The first trans- mitter was constructed from the'plans front Popular Mechanics. They were very simple and he was most surprised when it worked. Scotty Ross assisted in building it and was 'the first to go On the air over it with an atcordian solo. This was Oh Vebruary 10th, 1926. This station operated as )'01<I and then a license was procured and k took the haute 10 13P which it maintained so long as it was art atim. tear` station to 1086, The Wingliarn Radio Club was formed and a new. transmitter was purchased, gg watt, and theft hi 1986 the power was raised to 50 watts and then 100 watts and now the station has a transmitter 5 feet by 7 fdet and 15 feet long and operates with 1000 watts. This is a far cry from the about a foot square by 7 inch transmitter that Was first built. a The station at first was a one- man affair, in 1936, 2 men, while now the staff numbers 26. It is the only totally rural station in Ontario. Bob Cook of Listowel entertained with his magic and ventriloquism. His program was thoroughly enjoyed and he mystified even those who were only a yard or so away from him. A motion of thanks and apperciation Was extended to Lion Doc, Frank Johnson arid the other members of CKNX staff present, also to Bob Cook for making the evening an outstanding success, The motion was by Lions George. Ross and Clarence Richey. The Lions' closing song and roar brought the meeting to a Elose. REMEMBER SHUT-INS FIRST SUNDAY IN JUNE Nearly two thousand years ago the Visiting of the sick was included as one of the virtues to be practised by those who would be the Lord's dis- ciples. On June 8rd many people throughout Canada, the 'United States and Great Britain will carry out the Master's injunction by making a special effort to Visit and help bring joy and fellowship to as many shut-ins as possible, 'Unless we have experienced illness Ourselves, little do we realize what it means to be deprived of the oppor- tunity to enjoy '"God's great out-of- doors," In hospitals, sanatoria, lionleS and Many out-of-the-way places mil- lions of people know all too vividly the meaning of the words "shut lit," To entourage more thought of these folk, the first Sunday of !tine is an. nually set aside to remind the public of its obligation of visiting or in other ways remembering those who 'are pre- vented through illness or other disa- bility from enjoying the pleasures of the outside world. Let us make the shut-ins' lot a happier one by planning now to visit at least two sick folk, one a civilian and the other a disabled veteran, on June 3rd, or to remember them, with a letter, card or gift, anything that will tend to dispel that feeling of being" useless and forgotten, A short car ride in the afternoon, too, for those who are able to enjoy one would be to many a greatly appreciated treat. There is an old Scottish proverb that may well have been written by a shut- in: "Nae man can be happy without a friend," There are many calls on our time these days, but there is per- haps no way in which we can follow in His steps with less effort or with greater immediate reward of gratitude than in being a friend to the shut-ins. HORSE'S' TOOTHACHE Horses have severe toothaches just as human beings do, but the horse 19 a rule has to suffer without being able to get relief. The trouble is, say veterinary authorities, that the average horse owner does not know the symptons, Here are a few of therm the horse may eat more slowly than usual, leave part of his meal Uneaten, slobber' into the feed box, jerk Ms head from the trough when starting to drink, or make more than the Usual objection to bridling.
