Speak- ers of all parties who are opposed to th- party and policies cham- ..pioned by the editor of The Statesman, having in no instance found occasion to attack either of the Progressive Conservative candidates, turn their attention to George W. James, a candidate for no office whatsoever. All profess sincere personal friendshii be- fore becoming critical of his very definite stand on political issues. Latest to pay his respects was the noted Liberal orator, Billy Fras- er, foi- 16 years M.P. for Northum- berland. Speaking in behalf of W. F. Rickard and George F. Annis, Liberal candidates, at a Liberal rally in the Town Hall, Tuesday evening, Mr. Fraser said: "I shall now refer to a friend of *long standing, a man I hold in highest esteem, George James, editor of the most widely read weekly paper in Canada. I regret that he is not supporting Mr. Rickard, but recall he is a personal friend of John Bracken. I predict he will be back in the Liberal fold before long after carefully thinking over the great accomplishments of Mr. King and his colleagues. I hope if there is a reporter present he will convey my respects and re- gards." Showing concern that the audience numbered but 84 adults, Mr. Fraser admonished, that in view of the fact that the present was a most critical time in Cana- dian affairs, the business of gov- ernment was taken too lightly by too many people. He warned that preservation of the democratic way of life was in danger through this kind of indifference. The duty of citizens was to vote, to elect strong candidates. He had high praise for both Mr. Rickard and Mr. Annis, both personal friends of long standing, and believed Mr. Rickard would be re-elected with a majority of between 2 or 3,000. For ten years he had worked with him in the House and he had been an outstanding member. After assuring his hearers that George Annis was a man of high- est integrity, sincerity and capa- city,' Mr. Fraser turned to a re- view of the Federal government in its 66 months of wartime ad- ministration. He said there had been' no hardships on our home front; the only sufferers were our fighting forces and their relatives. There had been no scandals in government and no new million- aires, and labor had been fairly treated. The best evidence of this was that Bracken's whole criti- cism centred about the manpower policy. He scored Bracken's reference about throwing guns overboard and his demand for conscription to fight the Japs. The speaker said that personally he wouldn't conscript a single man, because people don't want to be pushed around. Recognizing that Dur- ham was a great apple county, he told of measures taken to provide fair prices when exports were cut off. Concluding, Mr. Fraser said that on June 11, we must decide who was the best man to govern Canada. Comparing King with Churchill, he held that King was not excelled by any statesman in the Empire or without. His final challege was that King would be returned with 132 seats, probably 145, and he had already laid bets on that basis. Mr. Rickard asked for support on the stand that he had tried to do a good job. Many who were aware that at Port Hope he had told of securing $235,000 for that certre, with a promise of $100,000 more, expected an explanation of why not a dollar had come to Bowmanville or West Durham, but not a word was said. Dealing generally w i t h government achievements, Mr. Rickard made an able review of legislation and plans for rehabilitation. Dealing briefly with the dan- gers of Socialism, he told of the parliamentary delegation that had visited New Zealand and Aus- tralia, and quoted comparative prices to show conditions much more favorable in Canada. Con- cluding he said the choice rested upon King with 18 years in office or Bracken, former premier of Manitoba, with a small popula- tion. Failing to mention that Bracken had over 20 years of un- defeated Premiership, he felt Mr. King had the greater experience. He had nothing to say against Bracken and believed he was a fine chap. The most forceful and sincere address of the evening was de- livered by George Annis. He told of his reasons for becoming a can- didate and reviewed constructive- ly the issues he championed, in- cluding f a r m, Hydro, roads, youth, rehabilitation, labor. With strong emphasis he insisted that if elected he would carry out faithfully the aims he stood for, and was applauded when he said he would not be a rubber stamp in any administration. Mr. Annis marked the calibre of the man he is by sticking strictly to issues and refrained absolutely from attack- ing anyone or anything. His was a straight, strong, sincere appeal for good government under Lib- eral principles and he was ten- dered high applause. Entertainment was provided by Miss Dorothy Nichols, popular soprano, with appealing solos and encores. Her accompanist was Mrs. John M. James, A.T.C.M. The Statesman regrets inability to have a reporter present to re- cord the Liberal rally in New- castle where Ex-Premier Hep- burn addressed a large audience in behalf of Mr. Annis. A previ- ous out of town assignment of the political reporter was the cause of this regrettable failure of cov- erage. Mrs. Stan Blackwell is visiting her mother in Tillsonburg. Miss Dorothy Richards, Toron- to, visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Richards. Mrs. Fuller Cator, Salem, has returned from visiting relatives in Toronto. Capt. R. E. Dinniwell, Kingston, spent the week-end with Mrs. Dinniwell and daughters. Miss Jean Bell, Toronto, spent the week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Bell. Mr. T. Burrows, Mana g e r, Royal Theatre, has resigned to enter business on his own account. Mrs. W. A. Stinson, Janetville, is spending a week with her sis- ter, Mrs. Seward Dowson, Pro- vidence. Dr. and Mrs. M. A. James, Chi- cago, Ill., are guests of her bro- ther, Mr. H. B. Foster, and Mrs. Foster, Horsey St. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown, Detroit, are visiting with Mr. W. J. Berry and other relatives in town. Editor Geo. W. James was in Ottawa, Wednesday, where he broadcasted last night on a na- tional hook-up in behalf of Hon. John Bracken, Federal leader of the Progressive Conservative party. 'Lies'Shouts CCF Candidate At The Statesman Editor An unusually encouraging turn- in Cartwrigbt in 1837.

Plans have been made for a general reunion of former members and residents and it is hoped this reminder in The Statesman, to be followed by others during the next three weeks will serve to bring many back for this important event. Eldad Church was erected in 1855, on a corner of the William Werry farm, Boselandvale, one half mile west of the village of Solina. It was included in the Hampton Circuit of the Methodist Chrch, later to become the Unit- ed Church, and has continued ever since in the original circuit. To the original brick edifice was .dded some years ago, a Sunday School and a basement. Of the changes that have taken place, those who return after long absence will find on tombstones in the adjacent churchyard, the names of many former honored citizens now resting after com- pleting life's span of devotion to church and community. One other change was the removal of the church shed to the opposite cor- ner on property donated by the oldest living member of the con- gregation, Thomas Baker, Sr. Many who come from distant points will find the premises much the same, the spirit and welcome as genuine as the past, the services and singing as in- spiring as of yore, the meals and hospitality as effulgent as ever, in short it is Eldad Church Anni- versary which has meant so much to so many over the span of years. But the horses are gone and yet the age of autos has left untouch- ed the old-time spirit of Eldad. To bring back a reminiscent spirit for the occasion of the 90th Anniversary, we propose to re- print in the next few issues, parts of the history of the community written by A. L. Pascoe, when he retired as The Statesman's Solina correspondent after forty years writing in that capacity. We be- lieve Mr. Pascoe is today the old- est active member of the con- gregation, having attended regu- larly for some 65 years. The names he recalls will awaken many chords of memory. Enniskillen Anniversary Was Featured By A Calf Auction The Enniskillen Sunday School Anniversary Garden Party was held on May 24, and proved to be an outstanding~ success both for attendance and funds raised for church purposes. The feature of the day was a spirited auction of a Holstein calf, which was bought and donated back several times until the sum of $125 was realiz- ed, the proceeds to be used in painting the church. As usual, the most satisfying event was the splendid supper provided by the ladies of the church, pronounced by epicures, "the best ever". The sports events were given a lift when Ernest Werry donated $20 in prize money, and the prizes were pre- sented at the evening assembly. In the children's bicycle racing, first place went to Miss Jean Mc- Laughlin, second, Allan Werry. In the football game, the father's team won 1-0. Other awards were: Largest family, Walter Rahm, 8 children. Oldest gent, James McLaughlin, Burketon, 85. Longest married, Mr. and Mrs. J. McLaughlin, 61 years, 6 months. Visitors from farthest distance, Mrs. Tait, Calgary. Baby prize, Joan Armstrong. The calf auction was on a "time limit" with Mayor C. E. Stephen- son, Port Hope, winning with a $20 bid. He donated the calf back plus a $5 donation. Next winner was Walter Marlow, at $20, and donating back. Francis Werry paid $22 and the calf came up again, halter and all. Melbourne Wight then paid $20 in behalf of the Liberal Association. Next buyer was Dr. R. P. Vivian at $22, who promptly gave the calf to his rivals of the Liberal Association. Sixth and final buyer of the be- wildered calf was Clarence Avery, Haydon, paying $16, and it was stabled. The program of the evening was featured with the play, "Tera pest and Sunshine," put on by Blackstock talent and other enter- tainers were Mr. and Mrs. Keith, Oshawa. Total proceeds amount- ed to $625 for which the Sunday School Board expressed great ap- preciation te the happy throng who came oe enjoy what proved te be the e ent of the season. We Are Sorry!

(EDITORIAL) Jolliffe Charges Gestapo, Drew Refutes Linking the names of Premier D r e w and Attorney General Blackwell as directly maintain- ing a paid, secret political police, opposition leader E. B. Jolliffe, CCF, claimed in a recent radio ad- dress he had proof by way of af- fadavits to prove his charge. He said the alleged head of the spy ring, not only reported direct to Drew but was paid by him. He introduced other material claim- ing Drew had written from Lon- don, England, to a man named Sanderson. He has promised to release names and documents in support of his charges. He named the premises where the alleged "secret office" was maintained. Drew immediately answered the Jolliffe charges, branding them wholly false. He immedi- ately stated he would have a complete investigation made by w.ay of a Royal Commission and has named the Judge to institute the hearings. In detailed denial, both Drew and Blackwell, state emphatically that neither knows the alleged head of the spy or- ganization, have never met him, have never paid a dollar to any proved the letter episode to be false. Further he proved that the alleged "secret office" has for years had the sign, "Ontario Pro- vincial Police" posted at the side entrance. Further he proved that the al- leged spy was hired by the Hep- burn government during anti- sabotage war inquiries. Drew went further to prove Jolliffe's charges in the D e c e w Falls episode and taking soldier's votes had been proved false and hence little reliance would be accepted by the public in the present, de- famatory allegations, brought for- ward on the eve of the election. At the moment of going to press Jolliffe has not released his al- leged documents. On the other hand Drew has launched an im- mediate investigation. Meantime the public have been aroused and want the truth. Drew has moved promptly to supply it. Meantime, for information of our readers, The Statesman reporter went te Toronto, saw the alleged "secret" premises, saw the sign displayed as Drew stated, and can vouch that his statement in this connec- Geo.

A 11 pupils and teachers formed the processional entering the church from the central entrance. Tiny children of the Beginners and Primary de- partments carried small white bouquets and at the altar prepar- ed with the beautiful picture of the boy Jesus, the flowers were woven to form a pure white frame. The church was adorned with baskets and tall standards of vari-coloured spring flowers. A silver bowl of bright red tulips carried by Mrs. Wm. Fraser, was placed on the altar as a final act of worship. The procession was led by the senior pupils Margaret Stacey, Anna Johns, Audrey Grant, Mar- jorie Rundle, Dorothy Faulkner, and Colette Ferguson, who receiv- ed the flowers and wove them into the design. Mr. W. R. Strike, acting super- intendant and Rev. J. E. Griffith conducted the service. Rev. J. Lavell Smith, minister of All Peo- ple's Mission, Toronto, made the occasion one of high interest in his story to the children and also his sermon to the Junior and Senior School and adult congrega- tien.

Speaking at various points in Ontario in the closing days of the provincial campaign, Hon. Dr. R. P. Vivian has made a fine impres- sion as an informed and capable Minister of the Crown. Accord- ing to press reports he has been accorded large a n d attentive audiences. While reviewing gen- erally the remarkable record of the Drew administration achiev- ed in less than two years, Dr. Viv- ian has dealt chiefly with the fine achievements of the Department of Health and Welfare of which he has charge. He has stuck to straight issues and has repeatedly stressed the main consideration facing the electorate, that is to elect strong, responsible govern- ment. In his latest address, as in pre- vious ones, Dr. Vivian introduced the wider view, the statesman- like approach to politics. He said good government can be assured only by adhering to democratic principles and warned that to pre- serve democracy, peoples can only do so by exercising intelli- gently their. right of franchise. Thus they can retain their right to change governments at will. Under dictatorship the right of change ceases to exist and free- dom disappears. The speaker again cautioned that there are serious times ahead, times as fraught with responsi- bilities as during war and we all should become impressed with this fact. For these reasons we must choose the strongest govern- ment possible. The Drew govern- ment hias shown that it has been both responsible and capable of meeting our vital and serious re- quirements for the post - war years. Dealing briefly with Jolliffe's charges of a government Gestapo, the speaker observed that they had been utterly refuted and pre- dicted that the man who made them was destined to be driven from public life. Tactics of this character sought to confuse the vital issues and as such were sub- versive of democratic principles. By these metbods, dictaters have risen to power. Applause greet- ed this assertion. Limitations of space prevent a more detailed report of a re- markably constructive address. One point answered opponents who criticized County Health Units as costing between $60,000 and possibly $100,000. Dr. Vivian proved that the per capita cost of the complete health program was not more than $1.25 per year, of which the province paid half. In other words the net cost was some 60 cents per year, and if good health at that cost was not be- lieved to be both reasonable and economical, the issue rested en- tirely with the people. The chairman and supporting speakers acclaimed Dr. Vivian as the first outstanding Minister of Health in Ontario, a man whose vision, integrity and administra- tive capacity could not be dis- pensed with, whose work must go on, and who in the election would be returned with an increased majority. His qualities combin- ed both inherent ability for his job and the all-important gift of constructive statesmanship. Dur- ham County has been lifted to a place of eminence by its first Cabinet Minister, Hon. Dr. Viv- -ian. To keep it so, vote Vivian on June 4.
