Golding, ex -Mayor of Seaforth, who .is contesting the riding of South Huron at the conning Domin- ion (bye -election, in the 'interes'ts of the Liberals. • Why Hold An Election? Seaforth, August 8, 1932. Editor of The Expositor. Dear Sir: I netti•ce the date for tho election for the constituency has been set for October 3rd. In view of the financial condition hof the eounrtry, I am writing to use my influence to avoid, if ,possible, the expense that must of necessity be in- curred in bolding an election at this time. It is no doubt quite clear to all that no .matter whom we elect, tho Government wjll still have an over- whelming majority, and ,their ability to put through any legislation desir- ed could not be affected. I think every citizen will concede that if ou'r date. efficient and capable rnermrber had been ,permitbbed• to remain with us, the constituency would have in the Liberal coluann until the next general 'election. I feel .sure that every fair-minded citizen will 'admit 'that the Liberal party is rightly en- titled to select a candidate to fill. the unexpired term of their deceased member. Why, then, an plee'tion? In my opinion, the Progressive party, in vie* of their polity of "economy," would'. have strengthened their' posi- tion very materially had they held their convention and passed a resolu- tion to the effect "that in view of our country's financial condition, that no election be held," thereby avoiding 'this expense. If it was a general election and there was a chance foo' any party ob- taining control, it would be quite dif- ferent, 'but under present conditions an eleetion can hardly be justified. Undoufbtediy the Progressive `party held, in a sense, the key position, as mi.oh depended on the action' taken by them, and it is surely a matter of regret that by their action they haven lent their aid to those who are clamoring for an election. I would hunnbly -snuggest to the Pro- gressive executive that they 'give this matter their serious consideration, at, I understand Mr. -Black reserved the right to withdraw if he thought it wise to do so. Sincerely yours, CON E'CK-ART. EGMONDVILLE 'Misses Margaret Patrick and Rena McKenzie are visiting. the latterr's brothel•, Mr. Alex.

JONES HELD BY LIONS CLUB Impressive Tributes Paid To Indefatigable Worker in Lions Circles. POSITIONS ARE FILLEND The Seaforth Lions Club held a special memorial meeting to -the mem- ory of Lion R. M. Jones, at the Com- mercial Hotel, on Monday evening, August 8th. The oif'ige vacancies caused by the -death of Lion Jones, wererfilled as follows: Lion Dr. Bechley was appointed chairman of the crippled children's aetivity; Lion Dr. Sproat' was elected ,to complete the personel of this commuittee, and Lkn'Geo. D. Ferguson was elected to - the executive. • Lion Secretary Charles Stewart, in calling the roll, paid. the following tribute to "Lien R. M. Jones: Lion Chief Jack and Fellow Lions: The next name on ours roll is one that since bhe organization of this Club has.,rare•ly' been Called that we did not hear that cheerful 'present' in response. • It is the, name of one who in a recent competition was awarded `a distinguishing button of perfect attendance. To -night we would call that name' in vain. The silent lips of the unreplying dead would not answer. r While everything hurninly possible was. done, every are given, every aid known to medical sciencetadminister- ed, death s-ucceeded for the first time in tbreaking through ou•>V,ranks, and laid its cold relentless' hand on the ,shoulder of one of .our nienlhers. Out loss is great. That death has taken from us a Model Lion of many parts. It has taken from us' our charter president, who more . •than anyone else, was responsi'btle for the advent of Lionism and its benefits to our com'mun'ity, 'and when ..the frail little bark of local Lionism put out to sea, the stood courageously tet -the helm and by his vigilance ,aiitd intuitive foresight, guided us •safely past the rooks of inexperience and the shoals of dieceUragement out tit the great ocean of service. ' It has taken the chairman of our Crippled Children's activity', who, through his untiring effort, sympa- thetic devotion, his constructive mind and wonderful executive ability, he organized the work and devised ways and means of finance, the success of which not only justified their adop- tion, but cemented teethe cause of Lionism the sympethye the approval and bhe wholehearted support of our citizens. Lt has taken a continuous member of our executive, whose clear judgment, calm decisions aTId sterling honesty made him of incalculable value to our club. It has taken from our community a patriotic citizen who, on more thee one occasioh, preferred residence in Seaforth to promotion elsewhere, and on every ocasion threw himself whole- heartedly into every effort that was for community welfare and •public weal. It has taken from -our social and fraternal circles a kind, genial, courteous, refined, cultured personal- ity across whose modest face nature had written the word gentleman. It has taken out of your life and !nine a devoted, trustworthy, under- standing heart, who stood up four- square under the acid test of friend- ship, that of knowing our faults and shortcomings, he refused to discuss thein and loved us still. And from a home so inviting, so hoep.itable and so entertaining, it has taken a thoughtfulness, a kindness, a conatant consideration, a protection, a love and a loyalty the extent of which could only be appreciated by her who has been left standing alone. And, finally, it 'has taken out of the world a soul, if his every kind thought, his eery encouraging word, his every oharitable deed, were a flower, we could weave to his mem- ory a wreath, the limitations of which would only be governed by the number of his aequaintances., When we sound the gong you will please rise and stand for one minute in .per - feet silence iii honor and respect to the gentlest and most enthusiastic of mtany Lions. And as we stand, Lions, we mast come to the realization that our Club has suffered a terrific loss, and in or- der that he will not have labored in vain, let us resolve to hold high the ketch of Lionism that he has thrown, and ,dedicate our lives to -a still great- er service to our God, our country and our fellow -pian, for there is nothing that we could do that would iso perfectly perpetuate his merhory as the continued success of this, Liens Club for white he labored' so faith- fully and loved and cherished so dearly. Break, !break, break, On .thy cold grey stones, Oh, sea, And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in,..me, 0, well for the fisherman's boy That he shout* with his sister at play; 0, well for the sailor's lad That he sings in hisboat on the bat For bhe-stathly ships go on To fd eit haven under the hill, But, oh for the touch 'ef a vanished hand And the sound of a vaibe that is still.

That .eminent west end gar- dener, Mr. W. E. Southgate, has succeeded in producing the ultimate in freak garden pro- ducts. He recently discovered growing on a potato vine in his garden a small tomato, similar in all details to a tomato that grew as it was supposed to. It is generally conceded that the discovery will result in a con- siderable economic saving in as much as potato vines have hitherto beerL, of little use other than to designate the •spot where !potatoes might be found. Chicory and Wild Carrot. .Seaforth, August 11, 1032. Editor, The Huron Expositor. Dear Sir: 1 wish to draw your attention' to the wild carrot and ,chicor;, 'on the fdrn,s of Tu•ckersmith, as this is their season, and if not cut im:nedineely will ripen, as chicory biceins from July to frost. Continuous cutting, only keeps it from going to seed, therefortethe proper and MOST. effec- ti:•e method is to dig it out. It is a perennial plant that nothing will eat and when it is neglected it soon takes up the whole area• especially where land' is in sod. Wild Carrot is spreading very rap- idly. The plant if kept from going to seed, will die the second year. We have sufficient evidence that if the plant is kept fro/ri going to seed it' will disappear. When the tops begin to form the bird's nest, it is time to cut the plant. ' • (Paertures and hay fields which are infested with these weeds should be, cut immediately, as it is unfair to farmers 'wlio try to fight weeds to hair their' neighbor's weeds blowing in on them. • Hopingthis notice will receive prompt attention as the weeds must be cat at any cost., • ROLAND' KENNEDY, Weed Inspector for Tuckersnuith. BRUSSELS • Ian 'McDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. McDonald, William Street, has in his possession a dirk which once belonged to his great grandfather, who was in the Battle of Balaclava and who••was one of the eight sur- ,cuivors of that great battle. It was left to Lan by his great uncle, the late John McDonald, and• needless to say Ian is very proud of his heirloom. Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Ross are the guests of their ;son, -Dr. Vernon and Mrs. Ross in London. 'The bowlers held a jitney on rugs - day evening, the winners being Wal- ter Kerr, John Logan, Alex. Rutledge and Clive Baeker.

Wingham, with Mists Marie King; Teddy Simeon, Toronto, who has been the guest of Mx. and Mrs. Fred Wilmot, has returned to his home in Toronto. Four car loads of intimate friends motored to Wroxeter on Tuesday eve- ning . to tender congratulations to Mrs. Earl Sproat, formrerly Miss Lot- tie Champion, of Bruss,e,ls, who was recently married.
