The Brussels Post, 1925-9-16, Page 4110 the motto ost :WI01,11IESDAY, SEPT' 18, 19,.$ Rlaeaale School Fair x,Attracts Rig Crowd The ninth Bluevale School Fair, held on Friday, reached the usual Vatic in points of exhibits, the attend- ance 'being slightly less than in pre- vious years, owing to threatening weather. Qeeasional showers :did not spoil any of the events, however, and } good afternoon's entertainment was provided, The School Fair is of very real in' tarost to the people of the sections, because they have aersonal feeling for the exhibitors andtakea pride in the work of the boys and girls, This year five schools competed, all of them being small now except Blue - vale school. The total number of pupils in the five schools is 85, and the hundreds of entries testified to their diligence. Nearly all the classes were well filled, the live stock show being especially good. Flowers did not appear at their best, owing to re- cent storms. Nature Study celiac - tions deserve special mention be- cause of the amount of care required to prepare them. There was a large showing of vegetables. The afternoon's events began with the school parade. It was a pretty sight to see the line-up of children with their distinctive decorations and banners. Bluevale pupils, dressed in white and yellow, won the shield. No. 10, Morris, came second, their boys and girls representing farmers and farnlerettes in their real work- ing clothes, 'No: 5, Turnberry pup- ils appeared as Indians with quaint headdresses and bright beads. Browntown School and No. 2, Turn - berry, wore red, white and blue. No. 9, Turnberry won the singing con- test, choosing an Indian song to cor- respond with their costumes. Blue - vale came second and Browntown third. Speeches were given py Ger- trude Turvey, who won first place, Mary Harris, Adair Prast and George Hetherington. Dr. J. M. Field; S. 13. Stothers and J. W. King, M.P., also delivered a short address. The children and their elders en- tered heartily into the enjoyment of the sports Contests of al kinds were folowed by a good softball game be- tween the ladies' teams of Jamestown and Bluevale, The former won by a considerable margin, but the Bluevale fans are not publishing the score. A supper prepared by the ladies of the sections and served under the auspices of the Women's Institute, concluded the day's program. The elements could not detract from the quality of the concert given in the Foresters' Hall, though rain and wind and lightning did their best. Quite a number braved the weather to enjoy Mr. McGee, comedian; Mrs. Van Wyck, reader; Mr. Fryfogle, violinist; Miss M. Garniss, soloist and Miss Nancy Taylor, dancer. Every number was appreciated, and it not too much to say that we are favored in having such fine talent in our vici- nity: J. W. King, M.P., acted very efficiently as chairman. The proceeds of the day were not as large as usual on account of the evening storm. And now Bluevale School Fair is over for another year. No more will the traffic on the busiest corner ne held up by a procession of calves and colts practising their paces under the command of proud young owners. For another year distracted mothers will miss the atmosphere created by paper, paste, and string, lost needles and general disorder. Teachers may now go back dolefully to two and two and scholars groan over their home work. There is but one thing to les- sen the regret of the boys and girls over the fleeting past, and that is the sight of a fat little purse which calls up visions of long desired purchases. .Prize List Oat Sheaf -1, Alberta Shiell, 2, Marie Mines, 3, Jack Nicholson, 4, Norman Barnard, 5, Mary Nicholson, 6, Wilson Thornton.

Prize list continued on Page S Not a'Mere Majority Victory Again and again the importance Inas been etnphasized of the party in power in this country having a strong majority. Without it no legisiation of real and lasting benefit to Canada can he implemented without great loss of time and much unnecessary discussion and debate. Premier Ring has left this and referred, to it on not a few occasions. No govern- ment worthy of the name likes to be at the mercy of a few rnemhers of the House whose political affiliations are of such a character that upon their lr' eties"y Irresponsible good will the Iste of important legislation may de- pend. It is therefore the duty of everyone who regards the Liberal party as the political hope of this country to rai- 1 y to the standard of the Right Ron. W, I , M. Ring in the coming election and put htln in the position, to curry " hie politics to fruition --policies which 11')iave been endorsed' by the majority, "'lir the electors of Canada, He has long felt that the present eituetlon: intolerable, rind as a man of inde- pendent spirik as well as political sagacity, he naturally asks Per an in crease of strength and' not a barren victory, To the farmer, in particular, Inc Puts the pertinent question "Is there any of your wishes or demands that we cannot meet better than the Op- position, whieh is now clamouring ,for office?" When the truth is faced it is recognised that there are really only two parties in this country to- day, We know what happened both in Ontario and Saskatchewan, Progressives have undoubtedly helped the present government. They did an from a sense of duty; whereas Mr. Meighen wanted thein thrown to the lions, let their intentions be ever so good. Ifo has never been able to get it out of hie mind that he is out of office, and is it unfair to say that he thinks more of power than of country? Be that as it may the out- standing fact is that if, really broad and Liberal policies are to be carried out, there must be no division or hesi- tation in the ranks of the party led by Mr. Ring. There must be a strong spirit of harmony, so that attempts by the Conservatives to split the Lib- eral vote upon side or local issues, shall not be successful. NO JUSTIFICATION Premier Ring has asked, the coun- try is asking, and very naturally so, what it there in the policy of higher protection advocated by Mr. Meighen that affords any justification for a change of government at the present time? Since his declared policy has been rejected by the country and absolute- ly flouted in the House, what are' his claims to office? As a matter of fact they are non-existent. He attempts to twit the Liberal leader for not In- troducing legislation to ease the rail- way burden on the country. What did the Conservative chief do himself. in this respect? Ring brought order ought of chaos and, so far as was humanly possible, untangled a rail- way situation which demanded every reserve of knowledge, experience and initiative. What but the Liberal party de- serves the support of the electors to- day? The Conservatives have only. the outworn policy of'hi'sh, and still higher protection. The Progressives have ceased to exist as a party, and in no sense were they ever a national party in the strict sense of the term. Toryism has a policy, but it is not so much a policy as a filibuster to split the great Liberal party, To achieve this result every exaggera- tion, every misstatement, every mis- representation will be utilised Mas- ses of erroneous figures will be quot- ed on every conceivable subject. There will be little or any time to contradict them. But we believe that the great mass of the country will not be greatly misled and that every ef- fort to disrupt the party is doomed to failure. Now, if ever, is the time to array the hosts of Liberalism against forc- es, which, if given th power, will a- gain bring this country of ours to the wretched condition it was in when the people incontinently flung Arthur Meighen from office and has ever since resisted every blandishment and enticement to accept either his poli cies or himself. FAITH CONQUERS PESSIMISM In the midst of much loose talk ,about immigration it must be remem- bered that favorable prices for the products of the farm will do more to induce people to come into the country than all the missionary lec- turers we can send abroad, can ac- complish. People will go where they see an opportunity of improving their posi- tion in life. But there has been a good, deal of adverse criticism of Can- ada disseminated by the Press of oth- er countries. We have received very unfavorable advertising from "the whispers of death," and the lamenta- tion of Jeremiahs out of office, pub- lished in Canadian newspapers and magazines and reproduced in the Press of the Old World. Every mem- her of Parliament who gets up in the House and puts on the records, criti- cisms adverse to his own cotmtry, is helping to knife it and injure it. No wonder believers in the future of Canada hesitate to put in office, men who can only see the future of this country as they apparently re- light to paint it -a country inevit- ably facing ultimate ruin! Is it any wonder that the prophets of disaster are without any constructive policy to bring before the country to -day when we are faced with a general election! Why bother about construc- tive policies, or indeed anything else for that matter, if we are faced with irretrievable and unavoidable ruins But the majority of the people or Canada have a wider vision. Row long would they remain here if they shared the pessimism so widely preached by some members of the Opposition? They know that many vexed problems can be, and will be solved by the Liberal party on broad and statesmanlike lines, without re- gard to petty jealousies or rampant sectionalism. Railways and ocean rates, the obtaining of better prices and wider markets for our products, both agricultured and manuf ut.ired, lowered taxation, lessened cost of fly ing and other matters can and will he dealt with by the Liberal government while a matured, and, well considered grasp of the immigration question will add to our potential wealth and light- en the burden on the country gener- ally.

Presb Presbytery Maitland y y Passes Into History • Supersede by United Church Presby- tery, Old Body is Dissolved The Presbytery of Maitland met on Thursday of last week in Wingham, for its final meeting. This Presby- tery was formed out of the south part of Bruce and the north part of Huron counties, but with the formation of the United Church presbyteries, whose boundaries follow that of the counties Maitland passes out of exist- ence.
