Choice At Rally in Sea -
forth on Monday.
FIVE ARE NOMINATED
A C.C.F. nominating convention was
held in Cardno's Hall, Seaforth, on
Monday night. W. C. F. Oestricher,
well known Huron County Shorthorn
breeder, of Crediton, was chosen as
C.C.F. standard bearer for Huron.
Others nominated were William Dale,
E. P. Chesney and Harold Jackson, of
Seaforth; Murray Grainger, of Varna;
Reg McGee, of Goderich, and W. Glaz-
ier, -of Clinton. All the nominees de-
clined to -allow their names to stand
but Messrs. Oestrieher and Dale, the
former being declared elected when
the ballots were counted.
Prof. Pemberton,of the University
of .Western Ontario; and A. M. Nich-
olson, M.P. for Mackenzie, Saskatche-
wan, addressed the convention prior
to the nominating proceedings.
Mr. Nicholson spent his boyhood
days near Lucknow and tatight school
at Varna a number of years ago be-
fore going West. He traced the
growth of the C.C.F., explaining that
it _came into existence eleven years
ago when both Liberalhand Conserva-
tives proved helpless in .preventiag or
curing depressions, As a result of
the development of big .business mon-
opoly development farmers were com-
pelled to buy at high prices which
slid not return the farmer the cost of
production. Workers similarly were
forced to accept unemployment dur-
ing the thirties when no money seem-
ed to be available to carry out a work
with wages program.
In accepting the nomination, Mr.'
Oestreicher stated the belief that the
C.C.F. party would certainly do Ulla,
country good. "He said that he was -a
firm believer in the C.C.F.'s policies,
and that he would stand behind the
party to the limit of his ability.
At a previous meeting in Hensall
on Wednesday of last week' the C.C.F.
in South Huron, had failed sto select
a 'candidate when' all possibilities
mentioned had declined to stand.

sided at the meeting. 14,

An Australian student pilot from
No. 9, S.F.T.S., Centralia, lost his
life about midnight Sunday when a
twin-engi.ned AnSon bomber crashed
in an orchard on the farm of Mr. Gar-
field Hill, one mile west of Crediton
and 'about four miles from the air-
port. The student pilot, whose name
will not be released until 'the next-of-
kin have been notified and confirma-
tion received from Australia, was on
a routine night training flight and was
making, a circuit flight of -the flying
field when the accident happened.
The plane apparently nose-dived
and struck the edge of what was one
time a gravel pit, and then bounced
almost one hundred yards and was
completely wrecked. 'Hundreds of
•pieces were scattered over the orch-
ard. Tbe fuselage was a mass of
twisted metal and wires. One engine
was thrown into an oat field fifty feet
ahead of the plane and it was near
that spot that the body was found.
Death was instantaneous as the body
was badly mutilated..
-- There were no witnessesto the ac-
cident. The first intimationcame
with the crash and Mr. and Mrs. Hill
were awakened from their -slep and
hurried to the scene, only a short
distance away from the house. Others
who heard; the crash were Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Beaver and Mr. and Mrs,
William Geiser. The latter phoned
the airport at Centralie, and guided
the officials and the ambulance to the
scene of the accident.
An investigation to ascertain the
cause of the accident was made by
R.C.A.F. officials. It is reported that
one person saw flames coming from
the engine before it crasthed. The
plane did not catch tire after crash-
ing. Parts of the plane were found
hanging to the limbs of one of,...the
treee.
