Doffing his clothes, Wilkinson plunged in after it, only to find a high wind and strong current had carried the headgear into the lake. A strong swimmer, after it. Caught in the off- shore current, however, he was unable to make headway in re- turning to shore. He commenced yelling for help. Carol Robinson, 11, standing on the east pier with three other children, saw Wilkinson struggling in the water, "I saw him dive in for the hat," she said. "When he got a few feet from it, he rolled over, as if floating. Then he called for help." While Carol was running to summon her brother, Ralph, a nearby resident, Mrs, H.

"I stand for re-election solely on the basis of the record of the Drew Government," he told his audience as he concluded his ad- dress amid applause. "I contend that no other government has provided this province with such sound administration, or has planned with such foresight." Needled by a continuous bar- rage of questions from the out- set, Mr. Hall had a ready answer for all queries, although some of his explanations met mixed re- sponse.

"They brand labour as Communistic, too," he declar- ed. "The truth is that the labour federations and the agricultural federation, when making repre- sentations to the premier, were told he vepresented the people and that he would make the de- cisions. The worker and farmer got no attention, no action from Drew, and they don't want to see him re-elected." Main party planks, Mr. Adam- son said, went to build a hospi- talization and housing platform.

Biggar A project which T am very in- terested in and which I feel will be of great value to our town- ship is a new community hall Everyone who has attended one of our council meetings knows that the premises we now occupy are a disgrace to the township. Our clerk and treasurer, who work there daily, are performing their functions under difficulties which should not be. In addition, we desperately need a suitable hall in which to hold community meetings, It is impossible to: ade- quately heat our present building, and its age and state of disrepair make it impractical to do any- thing to renovate or improve it because of the cost it would -in- volve. We could build our new hall for almost the same amount of money it would require for fix- ing up the present building. We have -almost completed our new machinery shed for muni- cipal equipment and this has to be heated. If we are going to have a suitable community hall, consideration to providing a single heating unit for both these buildings would save money. It is with this plan in mind that your council is looking into the matter of a community hall, pos- sibly for next year if not right away, The people of Trafalgar deserve a building to use for their meetings and to house their municipal offices which will not disgrace them. ed: "It is well known, and has ; ; been publicized in the press| Attacking the 22:point Jpro; throughout the province, that Tim | 82 Which he cliamed "is as Buck has declared that, where no Sn has never been Communist candidate is named in| "50" Dr. Deans particularly the riding, the Reds back the|duestioned the government's CCF) handling of the housing situa- lets, but we did give you a chance to vote them out, which so far you haven't done," he told Mrs. C.

In another instance, queried re- garding the assertion of E, Ed. Adamson, C.CF. candidate, that shipping of stock to Toronto pack- ers for butchering meant need- less expense, he declared: "Tor- onto stockyard offers cheaper service than any yards on the continent, and eliminates by- product wastage that would occur if butchering was done locally." When continued interruptions concerning housing threatened to halt his speech, the member blandly offered the platform to his hecklers. Allan Clements, of Milton, promptly accepted the challenge. "I asked how many beer par- lors Drew helped build," he told the meeting. "I didn't get an an- swer, but T see a lot going up, when TI can't get materials for a house. T came to town today to keep trying for those materials, and there are plenty in the same boat. Tm no Red, but I can't see beer parlors and shows when we need homes.

"Not one house has been built by the Ontario government, which can nevertheless budget for 2 $32,000,000 surplus on the year," he stated. "Building such a sur- plus is a questionable virtue when there are so many pressing needs." Referring to the child health program proposed in the 22-point plan, he brought a chuckle from] the meeting with the comment: "In my office, fathers are still paying the youngsters' dental bills, not the government." "The election, where the Tories are concerned, has become a promising campaign," h averred. "I wish Col. Drew had come to speak in Halton. He might have done well by our hospital in Oak- ville. With a Liberal government, however, there will be no 'mights." We pledge that we will definitely help hospitals in our health pro- gram--and without grabbing the theatre tax to accomplish it." Dr. Deans declared his party also pledged pension increases, legislation incorporating holidays with pay and a workable national labour code, an improved farm program, and a housing program which would include four-year freedom from municipal taxes for the small owner, "I offer myself on my record of community service, in the hope I may make some contribution to Halton welfare," he said in con- clusion.

JOURNAL ELASSIFIEDS BRING RESULTS Dear Sir: : May I compliment you on the results I obtained from my recent classified advertisement in your paper on 20th May, 1948. Within one hour of the paper being published, I had re- ceived two satisfactory replies to my advertisement, It evidently pays to advertise in your columns. Yours very truly, JAMES R. BLACK. © ==9 As 1 with an average price of $850 last year, the sale average figure of $1,204 was the highest 'recorded on the continent to date this year. Top price of $5,000 was paid by R. R. Ross, Gowanda, N.Y. for Glen Afton Kinsman, a 6gnonth-old bull con- signed by J. J, E. McCague, Al- liston, who also received $3,100, highest price for a female, for his Glen Laurel Dolly. Other high prices included $3,600 for a bull calf purchased by H. L. Guilbert, Vercheres, P.Q, for shipment to Italy; and $3,500 paid by Ontario Syndicate for an Blmeroft Farms bull calf, Some 29 head brought $1,000 each in a steady bidding session, which was of particular interest to Eladio Susaeta, Chilean buyer. "Canadian Holsteins are very highly regarded in Chile, as they. are a stronger strain than those we breed," Mr. Susaeta declared, "We have used Canadian stock for some time for breeding pur- poses." The Chilean cattleman pur- chased only one helfer, paying $950. He explained that, due to necessary Chilean conservation of U.S. dollars since the war, pur- chases are necessarily restricted, "It costs $800 a head .to trans- port stock to Chile via air, which boosts the total" said Mr, Susaeta, gar Journal
