GLAZIER.—MAIR
A. very popular couple wereunited
inrnarriage by the Rev. A. E. Doan,
on Saturday, July. 19th, at the -Uni-
ted , church parsonage; Mitchell,
when Clara Cleaner Mair of Toron-
to, . eldest daughter • of Mr. George
111air of Goderich township; became
the bride of ,Dorla 4 Thomas, Glazier
of Toronto, yqungest son of M4. and
Mks. Harry Glazier of Clinton:' The
bride's sister, Mass Amy. Mair, was
bridesmaid and the attending grooms-
man was -.Iv. Elmer Trick of Gode-
rich township.
The bride was prettily gowned in
a delicate: pink chiffon with a dainty
underlay of blue and yellow roses,
with w aite_.hat .and shoes and carried
.abouquet of. Sweetheart •roses. • She
also were the gift of the bridegroom,
a handsome white gold wrist watch.
The bridesmaid carried a bouquet of
pink and white- roses and her cos -
tame was e. • beautiful shell -pink
georgette, with laee•trim, and hat to
match.
Following the ceremony a delicious
dinner was served at the, home . of
the 'bride's brother, Mr. Norman
Mair of 1lolnesville. Pretty pink
and white decorations adorned the
table and dining room: The guests
numbered over twenty, but 'consisted
of only, immediate relatives.
The bride and bridegroom were the
recipients of many valuable gifts, in-
cluding . a fifty -dollar„ b±±il from the
bride's grandfather, Mr. Gilbert Mair,
also several- cheques, a silver and
ebony electric coffee. percolator from
the head office staff- of the groom's
employer, The Manufacturer's. Life
.Insurance Co.; and a host of other
lovely presents. -
The bride's travelling costume
was•of green crepe with_hat to match
and biege coat and shoes. The hap-
py couple visited London, Sarnia and
Port Huron during the first few days
of their honeymoon and intend
spending the remainder with rela-
tives and friends at various other
points before returning to their
home in Toronto early in August.
MONDAY'S ELECTION
The election on Monday brought
a surprise to many, although there
were astute ones amongst us who
kept saying that there was to be a
change of government. But even
the most optimistic opponent of the
King Government scarcely dared to
hope that the turnover would be so
complete. The Conservatives, with
Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett at their head,
have been returned with a comfort-
able majority over all, T. L. Church
of Toronto and H. H. Stevens- of
British Columbia being the two most
outstanding members of the party
who were not re-elected, while five
members of the King cabinet, includ-
ing Hon. M`r. Dunning, minister- of
finance, went down to defeat.
Mr, King Iost no time in advising
the Governor-General to send for
Mr. Bennett to ask him if he were
ready to form a government and he
will no doubt lose as little time as
possible in getting his cabinet to-
gether. It is not the ,most desirable
of times for a new party to assume'
control, as economic conditions • are
not promising. But such conditions
will try the mettle of the new gov-
ernment; proving their worth,
The gain by the Conservatives in
Quebec of twenty-one seate was one
of the most' notable features of the
election and whatever the cause the
change is thought by ]many to be a
good thing, The most notable fea-
ture in. Ontario was the election of a
Liberal in Toronto, the first in a
third of a century.
In Huron no change was made in
the representatives, Mr. Spotton be-
ing returned in Ndrth and Mr. Mc-
Millan in . South, but the swing to-
wards Conservative policies was in-
dipated by the increasing of the Con-
servative's majority in North Hu-
ron and dm decreasing of the Liber-
al's majority in . South Huron.. Mr.
McMpilan's majority in 1926 was
1,153, on Monday last .it was reduced
to less than 400. This was in large
measure due, perhaps, to the popu-
larity of his opponent, Mr. Trewar-
tha, -who is well-known in the riding
and is liked and esteemed wherever
known. Mr. Trewartha would make
an excellent representative and, be-
ing but a young ,man., may at some
future time become the choice of the.
people.
Another thing to note is the de-
cided tendency to return to the two-
party system.
At dissolution the House of Com-
mons stood as, follows:
Liberals . 120
Conservatives 8g
United Partners of Alberta.. • -11
Progressives . 12
Liberal -Progressives .. 8
Labor 3
Independents ... ... 2
As far as can be learned it is new,
composed as follows:
Conservatives . . .. ....
Libei'aIs , .., 85
United Farmers .• 10.
Progressives . 2.

Independents . 2

A larger vote was palled in South
Huron on Mfonday therein 1926. In
1926 the vote was 11,587,' On Mon-
day the vote polled was. 12,001,, . an
increase of ,414,
A RUMOUR
There were a lot of rumours dr -
ciliated during the election campaign
most of then foolish, One was that
the local creamery had been import-
ing New Zealand butter to supply
their .trade. The local plant some-
thneshas to buy butter from outside
but.. so far -has' been able to supply
the demand 'by Canadian butter, ance,
has had little but its, own make for
some time, so the local manager in-
forms us.

MORE DICKENS QUESTIONS
Our Dickens correspondent was
so pleased with :the. promptness
and correctness of the answers. to
lis first questions that he is em-
boldened to send in three more.
1st. State the sarcastic reproof
given to'the lady who showed un-
wonted: interest in the use of the
word "hussy."
2nd. ' Relate the circumstances
which called forth the praise froth a
father, to the effect that his son
would have made a lovely living as
an oyster:
3rd. To whom does Dickens as-
cribe the honour of, diselasing the
material out of which ale or stout
should, be drunk., and what is .it?
NO SUCH INFERENCE -
It has cone to' our notice that some
people seemed to infer from an ar-
ticle The News=Record published a
couple of weeks ago about the return
of a time clock which was taken
from the town hall a number of
years ago, that the then acting night
constable, Mr. Welsh, knew some-
thing of its disappeaarnce. Nothing
of the sort was inferred, in fact we
were careful to say that the 'con-
stable did not know anything about
it. He was as ignorant of its 'where-
abouts. all these years as everybody
else, with the exception of those who
hid it so completely. The News -
Record would be sorry to say any-
thing to reflect upon its old friend
and- Clinton's venerable citizen, ex -
Constable Welsh.

THOMAS MOM;ILLAN
who has represented the •riding of South_Huron for four years and was
again elected on Monday, though with ,a decreased majority. The
enthusiasm of Mr, MCM111an's supporters on 1Vlbnday night was clouded
by the news of the defeat of the King `Government. Mr. MleMillan
made a brief address in ,Clinton on Monday night but was clearly show-
ing the effects of the long and strenuous campaign, his voice, which usu-
ally serves hint well, almost failing him as he thanked his supporters,
for assistance during the campaign.
CLINTON WINS
In one of the best baseball games
witnessed MIS year, Clinton defeated
Goderich by the score of 4-3 on Tues-
day evening., It was more or less a
pitchers' duel between Tunnel,' of
Goderich and Slim Brant of Clinton,
Both men pitched good ball and each
fanned out a number of men.
In the first half of the first in-
ning Goderich got one run. Clinton
then cane out in their half and
made two runs. The score stood 2-1
until the first half of the seventh
inning, when Goderieb.got two runs
and took the lead. It looked as is
Goderich were going to win but in.
the last half of the ninth inning
Clinton extended itself and nnade two
more runs and won the game. Both
sides had double plays and a fete
featured catches.
The fans who didn't turn out to
see this game certainty missed see-
ing the best game this season so
far.
The line up:
Clinton: Fulford, 3b; MlcEwan, ss;
Elliott, r; O'Brien, 2b; N. Livermore,
cf; Snell, ib; Hawkins, rf. Glow, ]f.
Brant, p.. •
Goderich: Nairn, 2b; Archer, ss;

n A game will be played here on
s Friday, August 8th, between Clinton
