BELATEDLY, WE SHOULD
like to make some reference to
the three-day annual convention
of the Ontario -Quebec Division,
Canadian Weekly Newspapers As-
sociation, which we had the,
privilege of attending in Mont-
real recently and which proved
profitable to us from several
standpoints , .
�. * *
TOUCHING BRIEFLY ON THE
business side of the gathering,
the delegates who came from all
parts of the two central prov-
inces, voted in favour of estab-
lishing an advertising office with
a permanent secretary -manager,
the new executive to work out
the details . Incidentally, the
new president is E, A, "Chick"
Spence, publisher of The Strath-
roy Age -Dispatch . Of course,
Many other matters were discus-
sed, but probably not of any par-
ticular interest to our readers...
a
*
THE EDUCATIONAL AND SO-
cial side of the convention was a
complete success, with various
organizations and individuals do-
ping their best to make our stay
in Montreal a pleasant one .. .
e
* *
THE FIRST DAY WAS REALLY
"City of Montreal Day," as Mayor
Cannibal Houde -a very cotton
eous host, by the way -and the
city played host in a sightseeing
bus drive around the city, ending
tip with supper at the city -oper-
ated Chalet right on top of
Mount Royal , .. The view from
the lookout at the lovely chalet,
southward over the city to the
St. Lawrence River, is unforget-
table ..
Strong
Motion
Passed
* * *
FOLLOWING DINNER, THE
colourful Mayor led in a Paul
Jones and had his photogsagh
taken courtesy the Canadian
Pacific Railway - with various
members of the party including
ourselves ... We were taken at
a table with old friends, Mr, and
Mrs. Ken Walls of The Barrie
Examiner, with R. A. Giles, La -
chute, Que., secretary of the Div-
ision, also in the picture . . .
• *
THE SECOND MORNING, WE
were the guests of Vernon
'Knowles and Jack Sanderson, of
the Canadian Bankers' Associa-
tion, at an enjoyable "wake-up
breakfast," and that really woke
us up for the business session
which followed ... Among those
who spoke was Don. Fairbairn,
"Neighborly News" commentator,
whom se many around Clinton
know from his being here during
Old Home Week last summer . , ,
Don presented his Sunday morn-
ing broadcast, ofter the convene
tion, from Montreal , . ,
m n:
THE ASSOCIATION BANQUET
was held the second evening In
the beautiful Prince of Wales
Salon of the lovely old Windsor
Hotel , . . In addition to the pre-
sentation of trophies, the piece de
resistance was an address on
"Humour" by W. M. Ford, Mont-
real barrister, who proved one of
the most naturally humorous
gentlemen we ever had the pleas-
ure of hearing ... He maintained
that laughter is our most power-
ful weapon against all the com-
mon ills that beset us in daily life,
and that it is the only weapon
which the Communists cannot
understand . in fact, he was
of the opinion that Stalin's lack
of a sense of a humour event-
ually might prove his undoing..
*
CERTAINLY, ONE OF THE
finest and most valuable features
of the entire Conivention came
on the final day when the Bele-
gates were the guests of the Can-
adian Pacific Railway and J. Ed-
gar March and his public rela-
tions staff, on an inspection of.
the CPR St. Luc freight terminal
and marshalling yard, west of
Montreal . . We were taken on
a special train from Windsor
Station and were served a delic-
ious buffet luncheon in the din-
er , . , The train had a special
open car for observation purposes
end a running description was
given over loudspeaker . ,
'It M 9
IT IS CANADA'S FIRST "HUMP
retarder" marshialling yard and
there' is nothing finer on the
Noeth American Continent
It is the first on the Continent
to adopt automatic switch control,
and represents the biggest single
advance ever recorded in C'enad-
ian railroading ... It is all push-
button operated, and the switches
have electric memories . , ,
,b * :N
ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS COM-
plex, simplicity is the keynote of
its operation ... All trains move
in one direction, entering the
Yard on the east side and moving
thereafter in a natural flow a-
round elliptical perimeter of the
yard through the receiving yard
over the `hump" where car in-
spection and weighing are carried
out to the classification yard...
m *
AND ON THE WAY ROME VIA
the Canadian National Railways,
the sleeping accommodation tn•
the duplex roomettes was sup-
erb ... The next time you travel
by 'brain, just reserve this econ-
omical types of ecc'oenmodetion . „
it makes travelling by rail a
pleasure,. . .

At an executive meeting of the
Huron County Temperance Fed-
eration held in Wesley -Willis
United Church, Clinton, on Mon-
day evening, a strong protest
was made to the action of the
Huron County Council resolution
on the CTA.
In discussion it was pointed
out that CTA was a very -much
more effective measure of deal-
ing with the traffic as compared
with the present Liquor Control
Act. It was pointed out that the
law is most effective where the
constables are awake and on
their job.
C. M. Robertson, Goderich, is
president and W. T. Pearce, see-
retary.
The following resolution wise
passed: "That this Federation
protest the action of the Huron
County Council in making request
to the Parliament of Canada for
the repeal of the Canada Temp-
erance Act; that this Federation
point out. to the Huron County
Council that its action was flag-
rantly out of order.
"That this Federation point out
to the Huron County Council
that the repeal of the Canada
Temperance Act can be brought
about only by an appeal signed
by one fourth or more of the
electors and supported by more
than half of the votes polled;
"That this Federation point out
that the County Council has dealt
unfairly with its constituency In
anticipating any action by the
people and in throwing its of-
ficial weight against the Canada
Temperance Act;
"That in the judgment of this
Federation the members of the
County Council do not represent
the mind of the people, seeing
that the repeal of the Canada
Temperance Act was not an is-
sue at the time of their election;
"That this Temperance Federa-
tion commend the stand taken
by Messrs. Adair, Beecroft, Brock,
Cousins, Gowdy, Harvey Johnson,
Miller, McDonald. Strong, Snyder
and Underwood, who opposed
Council's request for repeal."
Copies of this resolution were
ordered sent to the Huron County
Council and to the Dominion Par-
liament, with the further appeal
to Parliament that every effort be
node to maintain the authority
of the Can,da Temperance Act.

CANADA CELEBRATES her 84th birthday
this coming Sunday, July 1, with a, public'
holiday following on Monday, July 2.
Eighty four years is a respectable old age
for a human being, but for a nation, it is but
a day. Canada is one of the younger nations
of the' world, and also one holding as great
promise for the future as any.
As the late Sir Wilfred Laurier once said:.
"The twentieth • century belongs to Canada."
• That comment by the great early -century
statesman is more true today than ever before,
for Canada bids flair to become one of the
greatest countries in the world.
Here is a nation with all the vigor of
youth. In: a century of steady growth, this
vest sprawling country has been transformer
Irani a few struggling colonies into a great,
cohesive nation. With -but 14,000,000 people,
Canada has come to rank as the third greaten
trading nation in the World:.
Like any ambitious youth, Canada has her
eyes fixed on the future -on her great oppor-
tunities for the development of the nation, and
on her responsibilities for the part she will
play in the family of the United Nations.
Canadians possess a great privilege in be-
ing citizens of this wonderful country, but as
such, they also must shoulder great respon-
sibilities in the days that are ahead,

R. G. Bennett Speaks
"Agriculture in this county and
every other county is undergoing
a great change. We are in the
midst of a big turnover. The
country is expending, and, to do
so properly,' agriculture must be
imprbved; and we are challenged
to meet the changing conditions."
So declared R. Gordon Bennett,
Clinton, Agricultural Representa-
tive for Huron County, in an
address Tuesday.
He emphasized that tremend-
ous pressure Is being put on ag-
riculture to meet the need for
food.
A few years ago, said the
speaker, urban and ruralpeople
lived apart, and the latter were
individualists; hut with the ex-
pansion of 'cities, that has gone
by the board. inhere is no longer
any room for 'a farmer to farm
haphazardly, He must produce
enough for himself and others.
There are 700,000 acres of as-
sessment farm lands In Huron,
the second largest in Ontario.
Practically every crop except to-
bacco is grown commercially In
Huron. , Goderich's mayor, J. E.
liuckins, has bought a farm on
which he intends to grow tobac-
co, so the speaker hoped the
county would then qualify es
growing every kind of crop.
The food situation is not ex-
panding in stety.Wtth the popula-
tion; therefore the responsibility
on agriculturists is apparent,
"Mental Illness" was discussed
by Dr, C. A. Cleland, superin-
tendent of the Ontario Hospital,
Toronto. •
"We don't fear mental illness
as we did, and in the last 50
years we have learned a great
deal," the speaker said,
