Business Slowly Reviving The loss of the main business block is a severe blow to the town and much smpathy is felt for Mr. McIntyre, the owner of the building and the various business men.

Until. this‘work In done everything will be at a stand- still. R.

Conservatives Retain Power Though Mr. Oliver retained his seat in South Grey thes result throughout the province is a distinct victory for the Ferguson Government. So far as poli- tics is concerned. all opposition is wiped out and with only 112 seats to be filled a Canadian Press bulletin at midnight stated that 96 Conservatives had been elected. This is even more than the most sanguine hopes of the party and the prediction of the Oppositibn that there was a chance for a Conservative The polling in South Int) yesteidax .resuited in the ietuin of I’.

There are 70 in Ontario alone. The first ice cream advertisement ap- peared in the New York Gazette on May 19; 1775. On account of the great number of members from outside the United States, from Canada. Australia. New Zealand. Great Britain and Germany. the nationl organization was changed two years ago to the present inter-na- tional Association of Ice Cream Manu- facturers. Afte r several years of work. a uni- form system of accounting was decided on and methods were drawn up so that the members could talk in a common language of “cost accounting". It is pointed out that this activity is quite within the bounds set by the Inter- State Commerce commission. The manufacturers felt that this was unreasonable and immediately organ- ized to fight it. Théneed of co-opera- tion was also a contributing cause to the organization. as the demand for ice cream really began after the first of the century. but it was Dr. Wylie's action which gave the necessary impet- us and hastened organization. Dr. Harvey Wylie. after enacting set standards for the whole union in con- nection with the passing of the pure food act at that time. Opposition to attempts to legislate standards for the whole ice cream in- dustry of the United States in 1905 was the reason for the original organization of these manufacturers. it was learned from H.
