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.

AT THE LIONS CLUB
C. 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.
