Exeter in 1919,, where he establish-
ed a monument business., BrancheS
of his• firm are now operated 'at
Seafcirth and Clinton.
During the first world war
served overseas with: the Canadian
Expeditionary force and later with
the Royal Air Force. In the' second
war he held the 'rank' 'Of :''flight .
lieutenant with the Royal Cana-:
dian Air Force. •
'Mr. Pryde was a man of forth-
right expression who had made •a
reputation fqr the honesty and
impartiality of his representation
in the Ontario government.

BILL IN HOUSE
W Marvin .Howe,' Progressive
Conservative M.!..for Wellington-
Huren„ spoke in, the House of
Commons on, Friday in opposayriA
,to a bill Sponsored by, Stanley
Knoi,v1eS, CCF, Winnipeg, by whldh
it was proposed to extend the
privileges of the advance poll to a
much broader pereedtage of the
populace at election time.
The CCP bill would have per-
;milted any voter who would be un-
able to east, his Ballot in his home
poll oh election day, the privilege
of voting ahead of time at the ad-
vance polls, At present only a
restricted number of classifications
are- permitted the privilege, when,
I by mature of their occupation it ?is
evident that voting on election day
is impossible.
Mr. Howe contended that a
broadening of these privileges
would be bound to result in many
unfair practices, He also stated
epinion that the move would
prove too costly and that it might
endanger •the entire significance of
election day as it is known to.
Cahadians at the present time, Mr.
Hiwve said, he was in favorof en-
ii zging the scope of the advance
poll 'to a• pertain degree, but that
the limits as propohed by Mr.
Knewles were much too wide.
Mr. Howe said that in the last
;election there was sufficient indi-
Cation of what could happen in
the way 'of impersonation and Un-
fair practices.
