South Huron Electors Will
Vote of October 3rd and
Nominations September 26th
LIBERAL CANDIDATE
Mr, W. 1-i,. 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.

MEMORI ►L � j EETDIG
FOR LION R. . 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.

Never Cease ?
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.

FIVE GAMES TO PLAY
Seaforth sport 'fans .were treated
to a real gainrle of softball on Wed-
nesday evening when the Seaforth
boys defeated the Goderich team 15-8
at the recreation grrunds. Playing
before a.fairly good crowd and with
!perfect weather and an excellent.
diamond, the team gave a fine erhibi•-
. tiorT-• of ball. Gaderieh led until, ••the
third innings when Seaforth made
two runs tieing the sicoree In the
sixth innings with the score still tied,
Wright for Seaferth, secured a home
run, bringing -in four ruins. Seaforth
secured three more in the sixth and
one in the eighth. 'Goderich got one
in the eighth.
The players were: Seaforth—Muir,
:McCaully. G. Rennie, E. Rennie,

and was b•eateir'17-6.
Attendance Limited.
Despite the brand of 'ball the home ,
tea.rn have studen playing, the games
'have not been drawing the crowds
they should. With the admittance fee
at a neinimruun, it. is necessary that as
large a gate as possilble should be
received at each game in order to de-.
fray necessary expenses. With Sea -
forth new assured of a place in the
playoffs and with .only five games
left, it is hoped that the attendance
at each of the remaining home games
will be large. •
Tp rick AID -Star Team.
The eic ntive of the league invite
all fans fele an all star team from
the pla'"iof •t'he league. The team
that is chosen *ill in all 'probability
play a game with some outstanding
tea,m not in the league. Lists,.should
be sent to .the Secretary of the
League, A. C. McCaully, Seaforth.
The choice of an all star team will'
prove quite interesting in as .much
as the players of the• teams have
been playing exceptionally weil,
