Cabinet Chooses License Plates For Next Year Popular Clarke Union Girl Given Presentation And Address Monday HIGHLIGHTS OF LIBERTY Freedom of Conscience “His Majesty's Loyal Opposition” is. the name given to a. party in our Parliaments of the. British Common- wealth gof Nations organized within Parliament itself to oppose the ma- jority party led by the Prime Minis- ter of the country. “His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition” scrutinizes all government measures and proposi- tions, not. for the -sole purpose of cm. barrasing the desires of the govern- ment party but to see that no hasty and ill-considered laws which may be detriment a": to the. country as a whole are passed and enforced. -Can there be a “LoyaF’ opposition in -a Nazi, a Fascist or a Communist govern- ment ? Oan there be any opposition in such forms- of government * Would such opposition not; be met by t.vran- ical persecution, lodgment, in concen- tration camps, 'by torture of those having the couarge of their convic- tions to offer opposition, and would not such punishments and persécu- tions be extended to their families and loved ones? “His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition” is constitutional and is. -a valuable vehicle in protect- ing minorities, and indeed if vigor- ous, is of inestinri liable value to the government in po-wer. iSuch a body speaking with constitutional author- ity symbolizes our -heritage of free speech, freedom.to form and to state one’is own opinions. Under our dem- ocratic form of government freedom of speech, freedom of the press to print our thoughts as .expresses in speech or in writing is ours. Ade- quate safeguards are provided in our laws in the matters of libel to the detriment of our fellow citizens, for in-citing violence to -the person or the state, for the public speaking or printing -of obscenities. This freedom of speech is our heritage. We avail ourselves of this wonderful liberty as our right and rarely give thought to the price which li-ais been paid for it. There are those -who avail. them- selves of this privilege in- advocating ways and means of destroying the démocratie liberties which we enjoy. Within our own land are those who -advocate the ism of the Nazi, the Fascist and the Communist whilst we are slow to also employ the priv- ilege of free speech i.n the defence of our democratic form of government. It has been said1 “Democracy must stop taking itself for granted.” Per- haps it is because this freedom has come down to us and that we have not ourselves struggled for it that, we like heirs, -so -often do accept and squander our inheritance. It cannot be denied that the time has come to take stock of our assets of freedom, we can no longer -carelessly accept this wonderful freedom in a take-it-for- granted attitude, we must become conscious of it. To do this just im'aigin-e that democracy and demo- cratic government was s-uspendedi in this land and freedom of speech denied as it noiw is in many lands. That the State and1 the Leader o.f the State controlled out thoughts, that you were the -creature of the State, that you existed for the State, that you ceased to be a free individual being, that your heritage of freedom of speech had gone for ever. No more would there be -in- the Parliament of the land “His Majesty’s Loyal Op- position.” Our freedom woyld lie re- placed by tyranny and persecution. Instead of being a free subject of the -Stats you- would be a. slave of the State. Eternal vigilance is the price of our liberty.

Eugène Beech on Sunday last was on the life of John Wesley and some very interesting features in the life of this great man was. in consideration. Su- sannah and -Samuel Wesley were the parents of nineteen- children of Which was John and Charles, destined to. be- come two of the really greatest men Britain ever produced. The former named- by his almost unbelievably ar- duous-labor and the latter by his hymns in use in every branch of the Protestant church in the world. The preacher expressed an unbiased opin- ion and the sermon was unique in its interest with also a touch of relished humor. Staled was the fact that their mother tried to train her chil- dren when sorrow came to “cry soft- ly” and this ie the mind of your Miss Dorothy Souch, Bride- to-be, Presented With Crystalware Miss Dorothy Souch, bride-to-be, wa-s entertained by some fifty lady friends from Orono, Bowinarmilo and Oshaxva at her -home on Monday evening to a -crystal shower.

A surprise vis-it at 10.80 from two distinguished la'dies ('or were they ladies), greeted the party and present- ed Miss- Souch with beautiful bou- quets and; congratulations.

Mrs. Cummings, of Toronto, aunt of Miss Souch, gave Dorothy a mis- cellaneous shower in Toronto on Fri- day evening last. -----------o------------ .'

He also pointed out the fact that Samuel and Susannah Wes- ley had very decided' differences- as to whether William Prince of Grange or James the First was the rightful King of Great Britain, the former -a champion of William and the latter giving William her choice, thus the cause of a S-chism in the home. Every, unbiased Britisher must gladly ad- mit that the Wesleys have had a tre- mendous influence on our British iamdi also American life and devoutly thank Heaven- for the same. Ontario Sheep Breeders Field Day, June 4th members of the cabinet, headed by Premier Hepburn, had viewed an exhibition, of several propo-a-ed plates. 'Second choice was black on yellow. This latter color scheme may be -adopted in 1940, it i-9 understand, with a return to white on black in the following year. The government' was so pleased with the “spocitrulite” construction which' is employed by a St. Thomas company, that it may be utilized in the gradual replacent on r. of present King’s Highways signs by new warning and cautionary signs. Ontario’s 1939 motor markers will have white numerals on a. bla-dk back- ground -and will be of the new “spec- truM-te’’ construction, furnishing un- usual vision -by night. They will be made as usual at the Ontario Reformatory, Guelph, and will cost $20,00-0 more than pliâtes -of ordinary design and make. When they will be placed on sale has not been determined, because the present 1938 markers are good until April 1, 1939. The 1939 choice was- mia-d-e at Queen’s Park Saturday noon, -after an exhibition game at Cream of Bar- ley Gamp on Tuesday evening by a. score of 11 to 8.
