F. B. Belford, who recent- parently the Liberals don t know | n ly resigned from office as Sheriff of themselves. the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham, was chosen as the Conservative candidate to represent his party at the coming Dominion elections in the riding of Northumber-lanl. The choice was made on Wednesday sight, May 22nd, 1935, at one ot the largest political gatherings known in the history of Warkworth, when more than 3,000 Conservative supporters jammed the Warkworth Town Hall, overflowed into the basement, hundreds more crowded around the door and on the pavement listening to the proceedings through the medium of loud speakers, and over 300 delegates filled the Masonic Hall, where the voting was held, with Mr. P. S. Ewing as returning officer. It was a night that will live long in the memory of those who were there. An horr before it was time for the convention to open, every available seat v*as occupied and it was not long before it was imposible to enter or leave the crowded hall. Denton Massey was the guest speaker, with such notable figures surrounding him on the platform as General Garnet Hughes, assistant organizer; Fred J. McArthur, ex-M.P.P.; William Goodfellow, President of the County Conservative Association said there are two great parties and a third. The policy of the Conservative party is clear cut and defined, a policy of reform and seci-nty. The Liberal party is based on obstruction, attempts to block progress, and the C.C.F. party is made up of men grasping for a way out of their difficulties. "The C.C.F. offers things whioh appeal to lower levels, they would drag everyone down to that level; but the Conservative party is trying to raise men to a higher level." Mr. Massey went on to tell how he was so much impressed with Hon. Mr. Bennett's radio address on January 4th of this year, outlining his reform policies; and since, convictions which he defined as a message from the skipper of a ship of state to his passengers and crew and not of a political leader. As a result, he wrote to Mr. Bennett, offering his services in any way he should desire them. And now he was out to support Mr. Bennett in his great desire to be of service to the people of Canada. Speaking of the coming election. Mr. Massey said that it was not going to be easy to defeat W. A.

As the delegates were about to leave, Major Belford -moveM that the secretary be instructed to send a letter of condolence to the widow of the latf A A Murphy Cramahe Township," -father of the Hon. T. J. Murphy, who died Tuesday morning at his home near Edville. During the absence of the delegates, Denton Massey addressed the convention, first in the hall, then in the basement, and then over at the Masonic Hall. He said he was amazed to see and hear the interest being shown in Conservative affairs. He said that the meeting was a credit to the organizer and the executive, but declared that it was only what was happening all over Ontario. "This indicates a tremendous swing toward the Conservative party," said. "It shows we are on the road work ahead and much to be done. "I keep stressing the fact that there is work to be done. No man, however popular, can win unless you all get out and work," he said, stating that the Liberals have already started j sprung up in recent years, ' - "whispering campaign" to defeat dressed" to 400 lay and cleric d'„ i Conservative cause. by*Rev.

"I can tell future meetings that the Conservatives of Northumberland have declared their definite purpose. We are here for a definite purpose--to reform Canada." Reviewing the work accomplished by the Conservative government, Mr. Massey quoted figures which showed the balance of trade as a barometer of national affairs. He said that it was encouraging to note that to-day Canada was in a healthier financial condition than in 1927. In the prosperous year of 1926 there was a favourable trade balance of 401 millions; in 1930 an unfavourable balance of one hundred and three millions or between 1926 and 1930, a shrinkage in irade balance of $504,000,000. In direct contrast, however, were the flg-vres for the first ten months of 1934, showing a favourable balance of $152, 000,000 or, in the last four years of the Bennett administration, a $^25-000 000 increase in the favourable bel-ance of trade, a magnificient record, the speaker thought, and equalled In the time specified by no other country. Mr. Cochrane,^ The nomination be made unanimous, which was carried with tumultuous cheers. Both congratulated Major Belford and pledged mwavering support to him. Major Belford said that he was not t-eeking personal gain, but realized that the country was facing a crisis great as was faced in 1914. 'In 1914 I saw what I thought was my duty and I did it; I see my duty I did in 1914," said the Major. "It your duty and my duty to support mr. Bennett and help him carry through his reform program. It is going to be a fight, a hard fight. Mr. Fraser is a worker, and we must work hard for victory, and I know we shall be victorious. "W^ shall put Northumberland back from where she never should have fallen." He went on to appeal to the women to use their influence and declared that while women may have been neglected by the party in the past, that was changed and in Northumberland | „0tea ra the Conservative women were going ing. the to have the strongest organization in to he begun the country. He also stressed the need | to enlist youth. "We must go back to first principles," ha said. "We must convince the youth of to-day that their future success is bound up with the success of the Conservative party." know how to govern thems«6 President Rev. George C.

Strong COLBORNE "You Need Colborne Stores as Much as They Need Y01 COLBORNE H. S. NOTES This starling contest is certainly stirring up plenty of interest locally, especially among the students who are attending C.H.S. from the country. According to the results so far recorded, Mr. Starling and family would be well advised to pick another district in which to carry on their depredations If they wish to escape com« plete extermination. Statistics aren't always interesting, but following are some figures which go to prove that the boys aren't fooling when they camp on the trail of these feathered nuisances. To date 673 starlings and prospective starlings (prospective because this figure of 673 consists of 108 adult bird", 33?-' nestlings and 234 eggs) have gone the way all birds of their ilk should go. It's rather interesting to know how the lads go about this business of capturing starlings. If one parks conveniently near the barrel of your gun (which doesn't happen very of ten),^ it's a very simple expedient, to pul# ihe trigger and then pick up what remains, providing of course your mar'kmanship is up to par. But the boys have a simple and less expensive method, which depends on a knowledge of the birds habits. It. seems that this bird, while his equally nefarious friend, the crow, prefers a hollow apple tree or a fence post as a nesting place; and accord-in? to the boys it's a simple matter to remove the contents after the nest is once located. If, as sometimes happens, the nesting place is situated so deeply in the hollow post or tree as to be out of reach, a lighted match tossed into the cavity reveals the location of the young starlings or the eggs, which goes to prove there is no end to man's ingenuity.
