Goderich Board of Trade Entertains North Huron Members The complimentary banquet ten - clued by the Goderieh, Board of Trade Friday night in Ilotel Bedford to the federal and provincial members 4o1' North Heron, Geerge Spotton, M.P., and G. A. Robertson, 1VL.L•A., was attended by dearly one hundred prominent business and professional. men of Goderich, by many' county officials and residents of the adjoin- ing townships. itZany, questions . od the day were discussed by various speakers, and throughout the even/ ing interest ad entertainment did no) lag. During dinner the singing of popular songs was enjoyed under the direction of C. X. Saunders and C, Meakins, Miss Gene Connor acting as accompanist. Mr. Meakin .ran, dered two Solos and was heartily en- cored. Pink flowering plants and vases of roses -decorated the tables, and the menu was all that could be desired. • S. D. Croft was .'the chairman and expressed the appreciation of the Board of Trade in the large atten- dance and called on Mayor Lee to ex, tend a civic welcome to the guests. In doing so His Worship saki that both the guests of honor had proven themselves friends of Goderich. Mr. Robertson had assisted materially in getting the amount for the town unemployment relief fund raised :from $10,000 to 415,000. Mi•. Spotton had also done his share in helping this along. Mr. Lee also mentioned the enjoyment he had experienced in attending the Huron Old Boys' At Home recently in Toronto. G. L. Parsons, vice-president of the Board of Trade, introduced N. WI Trewartha of . Clinton, a former warden of the county, who in the absence of the present warden, Mr1 Rader, was asked to represent the county council. Mr. Trewartha eulo- sized Mr. Rader as a progressive farmer. The Gederich Township Council is composed of "farmers who are good business men, who know how to ccsduct business end whose farms are free from mortgages. The county has a small debenture debt: the best system of roads and a aplenclid educational system. The farmers are largely nixed farmers and ' have not felt the depression as many have. 111,L.A. Is Introduced In intrrducing C. A. Robertson, E. R. Wigle said ice heti looked up the biography of Mr. Robertson and found that he was the third gen- eration op the one farm. He belongs to the dry section of the Liberal party, is a•Presbyterian, an astute politician and a follower of' a prime among men, W. E. N. Sinclair, who, the Board of Trade hoped, if he ever becomes the leader in the House, would fine] a place for Sie Robertson in the Cabinet. In speaking of the 'Board of Trade, Mr. Wigle ,declared it was an essential organization and acts sis a filter for many projects before they are presented to the town coun- cils. Ile reveiwed briefly the work of the Goderich Board in its endeavour M interest industries of Great Bri- tain and the United. States in God- erich as a location and paid a fisce tribute to the untiring zeal of the secretary, E. J. Pridham, in this re- gard. The high cost of hydro as applied to Goderich was considered a detriment. Many prospects in imp vestigating the advantages find the power too high and leave town be - fore interviewing or finding out what inducement' or arrangements might be undertaken to seduce it.', The cold storage proposition had been considered. The nature of this method wap important -enough to find, a place in the speech from the Throne. EVer•ytlsing was done to realize it but the parties were not interested enough to; take hold of it. The speaker asked support of a eon etructive nature from the citizens; Mr. 'Wigi'e, asked Mr, Robertson to inform parliament that his constit- uency was not in favor of the moves ment'to do' away with the smaller hospitals and centralize in the cities. The unemployment question had caused the Board of Trade to won- der 'if it could not be handled by llusiness men rather than politicians, if employers of labor could no't poo' their wants and thus give a fairer division of labor.- "We are living in an •ago"when we are iiable to settle into socialism and communism if we are not careful, concluded Mr, Wigle. Problem Not Dead. C. A. Robertson after expressing his appreciation of the honor con- ferred upon him said he felt it was the duty of every member te'further the interests of the eonstituency. he represents and promised that if there was any thing he could do, he would be only to glad to do it. He did not think the Cold a Storage problem dead. It was one of the schemes of the lion. Mr. Kennedy, who is one of the finest of men. The marketing of apples has got down to a scientific stage. A old storage plant should be in a large centre accessible from a wide area. One is operated success- fully in Toronto. Mr. Kennedy's idea for smaller centres is a cool- ing plant, where apples may be kept for a time and sent on. lie hope;3 the project would go on and it was one of the things the Board of Trade could develop. Mr. Robertson expressed himself as not whole-lseartedly in, favor of the grant scheme which he declared had been carried to excess in some municipalities. Schools, hospitals, and roads used to be financed at home. Now large grants are received and couse- quently we are surrounded with re- gulations. Many remember when high schools were financed by the localities. Aside from grants given for educa- tthn, large grants are given for building schools. Some counties' have built schools far beyond their credit. Because of its elaborate schools the township of Scarboro pays a tate of 70 mills. The tonin of Godet•ieh and County of Huron have not availed themselves of getting grants and for this are to be congratulated. George Williams introduced the other guest speaker of the evening, George Spotton, briefly thanking him for past kindnesses. Mr. Spotton prefaced his address with several humorous stories. He spoke of the vast sums of money spent on the upkeep of the palatial betels operated by the G.N.R. and the C.P.R. and the officials' salar- ies and expenses. Ile declared he had made a spe- cial study of Goderich harbor and had presented its claims as prepar- ed by Mr. Parsons. IIs was pleased to address a mixed audience. Poli- ties should be forgotten. He agreed with Mr. Robertson that care should be taken to snake haste slowly in social registration. There ,was never such. a time in the British Empire when mean were so fired with the ambition. to give'.a chance. to the anderprivileged child. hospitals, 1Vlothees' 'Allowances, Workmen's. Compensation, and Old Age Pen. cions are also occupying time and effort. There comes a -time ,when, a halt should be called: .

The Canadian National is our own rail way We have to foot the bills. There is not any nsan who' has done betjer than Sir Henry Thornton; but the reckless expenditure of the C. N. R. has got to cease.. "You aro paying $1,000 •a'day for the upkeep. Of the Chateau 'Laurier Hotel,' and the poor fellows out on the tracks. in the railway depots are being laid off." 'When it comes to a period of retrenchment, the speaker hoped the governments would not reach the "hysteria" which the County Council reached the other day when they reduced the salaries •of the o2. ficials so drastically. The railway question can only be remedied by ourselves. In one in- stance it was pleaded that trains should not be taken off, and yet every railway man who lead to move his fortune, moved it by truck af- ter raising the funs, The financial obligations of the country are staggering, Mr. Spat - ton declared, competition in build, ing hotels was keen and it was largely a ease of "Keeping up with • the Joneses." The preinier and finance minister had asked that any way in which retrenchment could be trade, be placed before then. The budget has to be balanced; obligations have to be met in the currency of the coun- try in which it was borrowed. He asked itis hearers if they had any suggestions to snake to put them on paper and promised to do all he could to put them through. Other speakers were bir. W. IT. Robertson, and Judge Costello who is a stranger in the county but who was given- a warm welcome. If veils conte bade they will be handy for brides who clori't want to paint up just to cross the street for some canned goods.
