Oliver Liberal House Leader Toronto,--Farquhar Oliver, Liberal 'member of the Ontario Legislature_ for Grey North, was elected Liberal House' leader at a caucus of the 11 Liberal members of the Legislature, He suc- ceeds Mitchell F.

Announcement that the 41.4.ear-old Priceville farmer was the unanimous choice for the position was made by Harry C. Nixon, member for Brant and himself former Ontario Liberal leader. PETE IS RABIN' to 06 'ORE'S WHERE tt;o ta auo4e WINCITIA11/ AT ifi20:40.EZ2 in a a ti one and one third pounds per person per week which is less than when rat- inning of meat was in force previously We are sure that the folk of this coun- try will accept this action gracefully. We, in this country, have not suffered as those in the liberated countries have nor as the people of the United King- dom did. We have not been deprived of food as they have been and are yet. It seems only reasonable that their ration may be maintained or even in- creased. The government had taken the matter under serious advisement and we can rest assured that they would not have such a measure instit- uted unless it was necessary, Ration- ing is an expensive way of doing things but it does put all on an equal footing so far as supply is concerned, Let us face this matter with good grace. * * * * ALDERSHOT RIOTS The smashing of windows and other destructive actions by Canadian sol- diers at Aldershot came as quite a shock to the people at home. In the last war after battle action had ceased and the troops were waiting to be transported home there were some who raised qbite a rumpus, Men who are trained to a finish and then sudden- ly have a let down are very difficult to handle. We do not mention this to side in any way with those who creat- ed the disturbances but mention it as a matter of fact. The large majority, yes we would venture to say almost all of the boys who are waiting anx- iously their home coming would not take part in such an affair. There are many who did take part who just fol- lowed the leader without much thought and are no doubt now sorry that they took part in these episodes. A few hot headed so called leaders can cause much trouble. The English newspapers took a very lenient view of the matter which was quite sport- ing. Our boys have made a wonder- ful name for themselves in battle and while they were undergoing training and it is hoped that they do not do things which would spoil in the slight- est degree this splendid reputation. If they have a real kick it is up to the of- ficers to see that matters are attended to at once. We must not be too hard on the lads who took things into their own hands. It was this same spirit that made them great soldiers when under fire. * * * The result of the British election will not be known until July 26th, In the meantime Churchill is enjoying the sun near the Spanish border. The election in the Old Land has caused much interest here and some can hard- * * * * We are again warned that Ontario and Quebec will face a fuel shortage next winter. It is difficult to think of such things on such a fine days as this. * * * A round up of war criminals has been very successful, The Allies have carriedli on the search with diligence. Let us hope that they carry on the trial of these culprits with equal zeal. * * * It would now appear that the Allies will carry on a most intensive bombing scheme to soften Japan up. This was the method used against Germany and it was a marked success. Japan has already felt the effect of American bombs but what they have experienc- ed so far is very little to what is in store for them. i INTERESTING CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS Sold Wood Above Ceiling- R, J. Walker of Allenford, pleaded guilty in police court here on Wed- nesday to a charge of selling wood above the ceiling price. He was fined $100.00 and costs S. E. Start of Tara prosecuted while F, G. McKay of Owen Sound appeared for the accused. —Southampton Beacon. Wolves In Wellington A wolf has been seen and driven away from herds and flocks of sheep in the Cispringe area. Albert Mc- Cutcheon on No. 24 highway had a calf killed by the animal. Harold Mc- Millan had a calf and lambs destroyed. —Arthur Enterprise News. Built Corn. Cultivator Our local. blacksmith, Mr. Irwin Marron, has just completed manufac- turing a corn cultivator and attached it to Jim Alexander's tractor. Irwin thinks it will be highly successful and has several other orders for this labor- saving machine, This may or may not be the beginning of a small industry in Tara and we hope its success will be such that the demand for this machine will increase in the near bit-. ure.---Tara Leader. Hensall Home Hit By Lightning During the electrical storm in Hen- sail, lightning struck the home of Rev. R, A. and Mrs. Brook, knocking off the chimney, ran along the slate roof, ripping off some of the slates and down to the cellar, where it knocked the door off the furnace. Some trees in the village were also uprooted, The home of Mrs. John Oke, 2nd. conces- sion of Usborne Townsrip, was struck by lightning, knocking down the chim- ney, ripping paper from the wall and filling the kitchen with soot.—Seaforth Huron Expositor. Blyth Cheese Factory Operating All the long, tedious work of plan- ning and organizing the Cheese Fac- tory which will be operated under the name of the Blyth Farmer's Co-Oper- ative Association is practically over, and on Tuesday morning the Manager, Mr. C. E. Hodgins, and his assistants, Mr. Walter Buttell, Mr: James Lawrie and Mr. Bert Marsh, commenced the work of cheese-making, as. the patrons sent their milk in, some by truck, and others delivering it to the factory per- sonally. It was, indeed, a day that should be long remembered by all those who, have been connected with the project since it's inception.— Blyth Standard,. Seaforth Woman Binned At Red.

It is now gaily decor- ated with its second crop, of blossoms for this season.--Mildmay, Gazette. 8 Bruce Townships, Adopt School Area At, a special meeting of the Brant Township Council on Thursday, the members passed unanimously a by-law establishing a township school area. Brant township is the eighth township in Bruce County to take this action. The other -townships are Lindsay, Eastnor, Albermarle, Arran, Saugeen, Elderslie and Culross. Thus half of Bruce County has readhed the decision to change from the sectional system of school administration to the township area system,—Walkerton Herald Tim- es.
