Charles MacNaughton of Fxeter, minister of highways. Mr. MacNaughton, in his remarks brought two points to the attent- ion of the audience. The first was that in his wide travels from one end of the province to the other he has found the most solid indications that the Ro- barts administration will he re- turned at the next general elec- tion. He said there is a sharp awareness of the sound legisla- tion which has been introduced by the present government. Secondly, he pointed out the importance to this riding of be- ing represented in the Legisla- ture by a member of the govern - H. A. POTTER Mr. R. W. Trollope, President of Pitts Life Insurance Company announces the appointment of Mr. H. A. Potter as a Vice - President of the Company. Mr. Potter is Secretary of the Pitts Group of Insurance Com- panies. ment rather than by a member of the opposition. He said, " You have been in the political w ilderness for eight months. There will he some opposition ridings after the election, but don't let Huron -Bruce he one of them." Opening his address Mr. Con- nell paid tribute to the memory of the late John Hanna and re- marked on the affection with which he was always regarded in government circles and what a loss his death had meant to Iluron-Bruce. The speaker emphasized the calibre of the Robarts adminis- tration, refuting statements by opposition speakers that this is an old or worn -our government. He named the many young and progressive members of the cab- inet who hold key posts. Mr. Connell gave a resume of the duties pertaining to his department, which supervises the construction and mainten- ance of all provincially -owned buildings. His department operates on a $55 million bud- get at the present time. To illustrate the progressive action of the Robarts adminis- tration, Mr. Connell referred to the unemployment figures for the province, the lowest in Canada. He also pointed to the recent medicare legislation, the minimum wage law which has recently been passed, port- able pensions legislation, the strides made in education, the many advances in agricultural legislation, increased grants to municipalities for highways. new Ontario hospitals recently opened or under construction, provincial parks, increased pub- lic welfare allowances and the opening of the new police col- lege at Aylmer.

He referred specifically of the educational system, the Trade Crusade and the highways pro- gram and expressed his confi- dence that the present govern- ment will be re-elected, "I want to be a part of that government," declared Mr, Mc- Cutcheon, "so that I will have an opportunity of representing the good people of Iiuron- Bruce." Chester Emmerton declared his willingness to let his name stand. He referred to Huron - Bruce as one of the finest agri- cultural areas in Ontario and mentioned the large and grow- ing tourist industry. Mr. Em- merton, who has been a mem- ber of Bruce county council for six years, said that though much has been done by the provincial government in this area, much still remains to be done. John V. Fischer said he had been approached many times to accept the nomination and the last time had withdrawn in favor of Mr, McCutcheon. This time, however, he said he would accept the nomination if the delegates saw fit to name him. He said that he had been a farmer all his life and had a long experience in municipal politics as township councillor, reeve, county warden and clerk. Lloyd Ackert of Holyrood, a vice president of the P.C. as- sociation, expressed regret that he would not be able to let his name stand for the nomination. He explained that he has been selected as one of the leaders to accompany the Canadian contingent of Boy Scouts to the World Jamboree in Greece this summer and so would not be here to carry out a campaign. He stressed the importance of the decision facing the dele- gates at the meeting, and em- phasized the need for a man of character, honesty and action. He concluded by voicing the hope that he would be permit- ted to say "yes" to a similar request at some future time. R. E. McKinney expressed his satisfaction with the great turn -out at the meeting and also his regret that he would not stand for the vote. He declar- ed that there is no question whatever about the return of Mr. Robarts as premier of the province. He said that the pre- srrnt cabinet is the youngest and finest Ontario has ever had. Mr. McKinney said the Pro- gressive Conservative party will win in Huron -Bruce if they are given adequate support by party members. The speaker said that farmers stand in need of some sort of security for their incomes comparable to that af- forded to industrial workers. He also spoke of the efforts of the govemment to secure smaller industries for rural Ontario and the need for more action on the part of the communities them- selves. The last speaker wasGeorge Joynt, who stated he is no longer in the running. Mr. Joynt said that in former years he did have a desire to follow in the foot- steps of his grandfather, the late John Joynt, who had represented this riding in government. How- ever, he said he was sure that a good representative could be selected from those named as possible candidates. ,Mr. Joynt said that this area has a great future, for city industrialists are looking for suitable country sites and the present Ontario Trade Crusade is bringing excellent results in business for the pro- vince. He concluded by assur- ing the gathering that Mr. Ro- barts would be returned in the next election. McCUTCHEON NAMED After the results of the vote had been announced Mr. Mc- Cutcheon made a strong plea for the support of all Progressive Conservatives. He said that even a few more votes in each poll would be enough to assure a P.C. victory in Huron -Bruce. Before the close of the meet- ing brief addresses were given by Marvin Howe, M. P. for Wellington -Huron; Elmer Bell, president of the provincial as- sociation; Elston Cardiff, M, P, for Huron; John Lowney, M. P, for Bruce; and Percy Pletch, te- Tovwn a�ncil ShelvesC®$ridge , Continued froth Pagc One upstream property and the new bridge itself, A number of the councillors concurred with h4r. Kerr's ob- jection, both from the aspect of damage to the park and possible damage to the dans in the spring. Councillor Nasmith express- ed the view that the bridge was going in the wrong location, as the north approach would be bad. He said "The plans call for a .32 calibre bridge in a .22 calibre alley," He and a number of others also expressed the opinion that the cost would be too high for the town to car- ry. Estimates are a cost of $50, 000.00 to the town, re- presenting 105, of the bridge cost plus the acquisition of land. In the final analysis, Mayor Hetherington said council seem - d of the opinion that while the ost was high, the money could e raised if necessary over a 0 -year period, but no one eemed to want to spend this oney on the bridge as set out n present plans, During the argument with the department people the view was expressed that the presentbridge would stand a long time, and it was because of the heavy truck traffic that a new one wasneed- ed, and not because of local traffic. Councillor Callan said if the department wanted to put in a new bridge at no cost to the town there would be not object- ions, with the mayor adding that even if it was for nothing the plans are not necessarily what we want. Mr. Jenkins stated that the department could possibly make further studies as to location, to find out if another plan would be better. Councillor Callan said "The department has made all the decisions, and we haven't actually decided that we want a new bridge." Councillor Nasmith stated, "We are not prepared to part- icipate in this job as the plans are presented." Mayor Hether- ington said, "You mean the $50,090 is not the complete stumbling block." Nasmith re- plied, "Yes, if a new plan was presented we would certainly want to consider it," The subject was dropped on a motion of Nasmith and Callan which read, "This council does not wish to participate in the reconstruction of the McKenzie Bridge with the present project- ed plans." Council concurred unanimous- ly . OTHER BUSINESS During the meeting council agreed to a proposal from Les Reynolds to paint the fence at the ball park with advertising signs, sponsored by local mer- chants. On the sewage project the mayor said after numerous phone calls and letters he felt . that the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission would be calling for tenders within two weeks. It looked as though digging might start by mid- August or early September. He concluded by saying that the whole affair has been go- ing on so long, he was getting frustrated. Council approved an agree- ment with Tom Henderson for the transfer of property to allow for a pumping station in the Henderson subdivision. WHEN NOVEMBER GAINED ONE DAY Before Julius Caesar reform- ed the Roman calendar in 46 B.C., November had 29 days instead of the present 30. The Romans nearly changed its name to that of Tiberius; how- ever, that celebrity declined the honour, The Anglo-Saxons called November Windmonath (wind month) and Blodmonath (blood month) from the slaugh- ter of cattle in that season. cently named candidate in the provincial riding of Bruce. Ladies of the association served coffee and sandwiches in the council chambers following the meeting, So, You Think You Can Spell FROM THE BLUE BELL Probably not one person in a hundred can spell these five words correctly: sacr-l-gious; rar-fied; synon-mous; restaura- teur; and lia-son. Are you the one in a hun- dred? The correct spellings are sacrilegious; rarefied; synony- mous; restaurateur (noun); and liaison. Now that you may be feel- ing a little depressed, you're probably wondering: "Well, how important is good spelling, any- way?" One answer is given by New- man B. and Genevieve B. Birk of Tufts College, in their book Understanding and Using Eng- lish, "Spelling is important," they say, "because it is often the first basis on which a writer is judged...(Many) readers res- pond unfavourably, with irrita- tion, disrespect, and mistrust to the writer who cannot spell." They go on: "Conspicuously poor spelling is serious... be- cause it suggests that the writer is unfamiliar with printed ma- terial, or unable to learn what most educated people learn without difficulty, or both... To many people, spelling is an index of the writer's education and intelligence." You yourself can remember how miffed you were the last time someone spelled your name wrong. Imagine the em- barrassment of the Reader's • Digest recently when, on the cover of the magazine, it spell- ed Charles Lindergh's name as Lindberg! Socony Mobil Oil Company has even begun an advertising campaign to ac- quaint the public with the fact that "Socony-Mobil" with a hyphen, is incorrect, as are "Soconey Mobil" and "Socony Mobile." Any newspaper or magazine that misspells the company name may receive a polite note pointing out the error. Now, it's all well and good to praise the benefits of proper spelling. The hitch is that spelling is a complicated and tricky business. American spellings differ in England and sometimes in Can- ada. Honor is honour, anemia is spelled anaemia, fiber is fibre, plow is plough, connec- tion is connexion, judgment is judgement, jail is gaol, and so on. And in America, diction- aries disagree. Some people have written Mafia, largesse, and dog-eared all their lives, and would be surprised to learn that the Merriam -Webster dic- tionaries prefer Maffia, largess, and - of all things - dog's eared. The word preeminent is spelled in three different ways by three American dic- tionaries: pre-eminent; preem- inent (without the hyphen); and preeminent (with a diaeresis over the second e). No wonder that even a wri- ter as well known as C, P. Snow, author of The Affair, can write a book (The Con- science of the Rich) in which he misspells two words in two consecutive sentences! ("Charles took the chance to smoothe the party down. He acted as im- pressario for Mr. March and led him on to his best stories." Smoothe should be smooth, im- pressario should be impresario.) But don't get discouraged: You can still improve your spelling. Here are some rules to follow: 1. Make a list of the words you continually misspell - words like dictionary, inoculate; accommodate, accumulate, bizarre, innocuous, independ- ence. Practice writing and re- writing them until you get them down pat. 2. Do the same thing with a list of difficult words that some- one else has compiled - to be furnished in this article, 3. If you continually mis- spell certain words, check your pronunciation. A person who says libery for library, idear for idea, athaletic for athletic, and barbituate for barbiturate is likely to write them as he says thein. 4. Get acquainted with some of the rules of spelling. The only trouble here is that for many rules there are many ex- ceptions. Take the verse "I before e/ Except after c, / Or when sounded as a, / as in neighbor and weigh." You probably learned that in gram- mar school. Well, there is no Santa Claus. Exceptions to the rule include weird, weir, lei- sure, seize, either, surfeit, sheik, plebeian, reign, sover- eign, height, deity, and even financier, specie, species and science. Here's a rule that's invari- able. Only three words in the English language end in -ceed; exceed, proceed, and succeed. Only one ends in -sede: super- sede. All the rest end in -cede, like accede, recede, concede, etc. One final rule: When in doubt about which vowel to use, look for a related word in which the vowel is accented. Say you don't know whether the correct spelling is ecstesy or ecstasy. You find a related word - ecstatic - and be- cause ecstatic has an a, ecs- tasy must have an a. Or take the word grammar. Or is it grammer? The related word grammatical shows that an a is required. But before you start out in- dependently to improve your spelling, let's see how well you spell now. Here are 20 difficult words; if you get 15 right, you're pretty good al- ready. A dash may mean that no letters are required, that one letter is required, or that more than one letter is re- quired. 1. Travel-er. 2. Permiss- ble. 3. Benefit -ed. 4. Veng- ce. 5. Sup-ression, 6. Irresist- ble. 7, Pen-uin. 8. Mischie- ous. 9. Attend-nce. 10. Chang- ble. 11. Para! -el -ed. 12. Question -afire. 13. Str-t-laced. 14. Phar -h. 15 Te-totaler. 16. As -as -irate, 17.

Barbecue Hints For Outdoor Cooks When you're planning that next big barbecue occasion, it's important to remember that barbecuing is a dry -heat me- thod of cooking. This means that it is difficult to add any moisture to the meat to help make it more juicy and tender. Therefore, you should buy the more "naturally tender" cuts of meat to begin with. This is why steaks, spare ribs, ham- burgers, and chops are so popu- lar. Most backyard chefs develop their barbecue skills easily and quickly. Still, one of the big- gest problems is how to control fat drippings which fall from the meat as it's being cooked and flare up on the hot char- coals underneath. If the meat tends to be fatty, the cook has to be particularly careful or the whole meal can go up in flames, Water is the best answer to this problem. A cup of water can be kept nearby and sprinkl- ed with the fingers on the coals any place where flames appear. Even a small water pistol or a plastic squeeze bottle will do a good job and a more accurate one, too! In the last few years, more and more barbecues are being sold with rotisserie attachments. These have added a whole new dimension to barbecuing by be.- ing able to cook whole chip :i ,roasts of beef, a leg of lamb,' a boneless ham (although if you are going to barbecue ham on a rotisserie, it should be fully cooked beforehand so that all you do is add the smoked char- coal flavour by barbecuing), And how about some bolog- ' na-burgers on the rotisserie? Take a four or five pound bolog na; put the spit lengthwise through the centre, and after it's finished you can cut off nice thick slices and put them between hamburger buns. An inexpensive and tasty treat!
