TRIBUTE TO PRYDE The late 'Tom Pryde's interest, in his :constituents and his giaineltaking efforts to :help )hem solve %their problems were prais- ed this week by Stafford Johns- ton, farm columnist of The. !Stratford Beacon -Herald. !Mr. Johnston !paid !tribute to the Huron MiP for :the way he treated his opponents during his campaigns. The Stratford writer stated he had never heard Mr. Pryde say any unkind or un- generous thing about any politi- cal adversary. The column follows: One of the things we remem- ber about Tom Pryde, is a speech he made :at a nomination meeting, in bhe town hall at Hensall, some years ago, Tom was nominated as the Conserva- tive candidate, to sun against Benson 'Tuckey, the Liberal. Tom was a former reeve of Ex- eter;. 'Benson Was a 'former reeve of Exeter, end had just been warden of !Huron. Tom Pryde was in [business in Exet- er, as a %monumrenit maker; Ben- son Tuckey was in %business in Exeter, as a trucker. In the fashion :that was 'then current in Huron, though it has !tended to lapse in recent years, ,bhe two candidates spoke from one platform, when the nomina- tion meeting was held at Hen- sald. Anyone who knew only that from the same background, they had arrived on apposite sides of the political fence, might natur- ally 'have expected fireworks when they opened their cam- paigns with a .direct encounter in front %of the same %audience. As nearly as we can remem- !ter, what Tom IP•eyd'e had to say, in bhe kickoff speech of his campaign, :vent about dike %this. "So far as S am concerned, there avill nothing ,personal in this campaign. I have always thought of my %opp'onent asibaing a friend of mime, and that's bhe way I would like it to stay. Benson Tuckey has been doing some of my trucking, and after this election is over, whichever way it goes, S hope he will still be doing my trucking." %That was what he said, and that was what he .meant. In all :the years eve knew him, we did not ever hear Tem lPryde, in public or private, say an unkind thing on an ungenerous:thing about any political %opplonent. The trouble that did not hap- pen, about the anaildboxes in Ue- borne township, was one ex- ample of the way Tom !Pryde viewed his duty as a member of the Legislature. It happened about six years ago, that the Junior Farmer organization in South Huron took on the project of painting and lettering all the mal -boxes in Usborn•e !township. The Junior Farmers, as most people will know, are an organ- ization !fostered by the Depart- ment of Agriculture, 'which is one of the many arms of the On- tario government. .The planning for the project went forward Steadily, :with en- couragement ncouragement and a guiding hand being supplied by people in the -Departme-nt of Agriculture of- fice in :Clinton. The young %far- mers, aril the farmers' .sons, who made up theorganization, can- vassed every farm in sUsborne', and arranged to buy the metal nameplates for every mailbox in Us'borne. The metal !plates were ordered, and made, at the bent price they could :get for a quan- tity order. Everything was rea- dy, finally, far the !big bee, in which the Junior Farmers were going to tour every concession dine ,arid' sideroad in Ueborne, paint every snail-daox, and put a metal nameplate on each. ` Ab that point in the enter- prise, the Ontario Department of Highways stepped in with a veto. The metal nameplates had luminous or reflecting .paint on then!, to make the names show up at night in the light of auto- mobile headlamps. That, said the 1Depaadbment of Highways, was foctbidden on, public highways, and a township road was a [pub- lic !highway, within the meaning STANLEY Moro than 300 men and women from Hay and Stanley townships heard James Jacklin, fieldman of the Federation of Agriculture, ex- plain what the organization is and what the achievements of it are: 1YIr. Jacklin told of how the Federation of Agriculture le the joining together of farm people all over Canada. There are 82 different organizations in the pro- vince all working together under the federation in the interests of the betterment of agriculture in the country. Mr. Jacklin spoke of the recent death of Dr. Hope, economist, outstanding in the Federation of Agriculture work, who will be greatly missed, and how the org- anization would be set back with- out him. In talking about the recent Wheat Marketing vote, he said only 88. per cent of the elig- ible ligible voters voted, and out of these 60 per cent voted yes. "By staying at home the other 32 per cent voted no," Mr, Jacklin went on to say, "If any marketing board is to be successful, it needs, all the farmers behind it," In talking of the achievements of the Federation of Agriculture, Mr. Jacklin explained how they were instrumental in bringing about the Farm Products Act. He told of how times are chang- ing from the horse and buggy days to the present method of transportation, and how automo- biles have caused more deaths than all the casualties in the war. "Automobiles are riskier today than areoplaues were in the first war," he said, "and the Federa, kion should do something about the amount of deaths that are caused by them. Such things as Protruding door handles and win- dow cranks are very dangerous and cause many people to be hart." In closing kis address, Mr, Jacklin asked the co-operation of all farmers to enable the Feder- ation of Agriculture to carry out its job, Among guests were Jack Mor- rissey, Warden of Huron County; Valentine Becker, Reeve of Hay township; Harvey Coleman, reeve of Stanley township; Lloyd Lam- port, president of Stephen town- ship F. of A., and William Roger - ::on. president of Tuckersmith F. of A. Entertainment was provided by E. Miles, Loudon, and caterers to the banquet were the ladies of the Evangelical United Brethren Church. Carl Oestricher, chairman of the nominating committee for Hay Federation brought in the following slate of officers for the coating year: President, Ross Love:. first vice president, Herb Klapp; second vice, Clifford We- ido; secretary treasurer, Clifford Pepper. 1957 Chevrolet DeLuxe Sedan 1957 Dodge 8 cylinder Coach 1956 Chevrolet Deluxe Sedan 1955 Chrysler Hard Top 1965 Dodge Regent Sedan 1952 Chevrolet Hard Top 1949 Meteor Coach, 'I 1949 1Vllonarch Sedan:' 1949 Chevrolet Sedan 1948 .Chevrolet Sedan MAKE US AN OFFER No reasonable offer refused at Seafortli M otors Phone 541 Seaforth OPEN EVENINGS of the regulations.. YDhe Junior F •arsine r s nvere. caught 'in the middle. The Ont- ario government, through one of its -ar,+ms, was encouraging them ,to go ahead, and through ano!bher of its arras, was order- ing thein to stop. Tihe in -:Passe carie to light on a Friday, • three days before the painting and signing project was, bo start. The Junior .Farmers seeaned to be the possessors sof about 500 fresh, new ' metal 'nameplates, which at that moment rooked like so much costly junk. A local member of the legis- lature, hearing about such a tangle, night be forgiven if the preltended not to hear about it, Any one of us, if he had (been at that moment the member. for Huron, nriiglit have been inclined to say: "Well, too bad, but ,there's nothing I :can ado about it.:3 don't. snake :these rules, and it's none of my business." That was not Tom Pryd'e's way. He went to Toronto on the (Saturday morning, and went Straight to the top. Ile talked to the minis'ter of agriculture, and talked to the minister of high- ways. He used bis own kind of persuasive diplomacy on both of them; and got both of iihern to agree with him, and with each other. Mat sante day,'bheorders went out from Toronto to un- ravel the tangle, and on the Monday morning, the Junior Farmers started oust, unhamper- ed by red tape, to carry through their project. Lf he had .more than usual success in smoothing things out for :the pe'op'le of bis tiding, pant of the reason was in his person- ality, but pant of it was that he Made bhe effort. to understand.

To obtain maximum efficiency from appliances, your wiring must be capable of carrying the load required., Too many plugs in one outlet overload the circuit. If you overload beyond the capacity of your wiring, the fuse blows. When this happens, it is a warning. When you substitute a fuse larger than should be used, you are playing with fire. A larger fuse will permit more electricity to flow to the. circuit, but the wiring may overheat and create a fire hazard and you also reduce the efficiency of your many electrical aids to better living.• PLAY SAFE . , .
