In vyiew of the fact that local muntcipalities must pay 50 percent of the cost for works undertaken as relief measures for the unemployâ€" ed. Mr. Hipel contended that the Ontario government should tell the municipalities to use their own judgment and go ahead with any work they saw fit, leaving the apâ€" portionment of the special relief fund to a commission, to be apâ€" pointed, consisting of one Conserâ€" vative, one Liberal, one Progresâ€" sive,. one Labor and one war veter an. "I say let the government cut out the "red tape" so that relief will be given when it is needed. beâ€" fore winter sets in." Mr. Hipel furâ€" ther advocated the institution of some form of unemployment insurâ€" ance in order to guard against furâ€" ther distress. "What can an oppostion memâ€" ber do?" the candidate asked. "I say this, that the late member did more good while in the opposition ranks than he has done since. While 1 was sitting in the Preston counâ€" cil along with the late members. we were both in opposition to the govâ€" ernment and yet we received more money from the government than had been received before or since. "My opponents, or at least some in their ranks, have been circulatâ€" ing false reports about myself{ and the company 1 happen to manage. One of these was to the effect that our men receive wages that are beâ€" low the standard. I am willing to produce our company‘s pay sheets and let them be compared to pay wheets of concerns in a similar line of business to ours and if it is not found that our employes have a higher rate of pay and have more work hours per year than any simâ€" ilar concern, I am prepared to withâ€" draw my nomination and let this riding go by acclamation "As reported it was at the request of Hon. Mr. Ferguson that he resignâ€" ed his seat and therefore the blame or responsibility for the cost of this byâ€"election must be ‘borne on the shoulders of the Ferguson governâ€" ment." Although the attefidance at the meeting totalled less than twenty people the candidates decided to deâ€" liver five minute addresses. Liberal Candidate N. 0. Hipel in his opening remarks stated that he instructed his workers to add all names to the voters‘ list irrespective of whether they were Liberal or Conservative. This was contrary to practice but he believed all voters should be free to vote as they saw fit and not be tled to any party strings. The question hag been asked, who was responsible for this byeâ€"election? The reply is, stated Mr. Hipel, that the people of South Waterloo select ed a candidate to serve for four years but in less than a year he reâ€" signed and since then the riding has not been represented. "I appeal to you on my past reâ€" cord as a member of the town counâ€" cil, county council and other public bodies you will find that there is no one that can show in dollars and cents as much actual results as that which I have given to you citizens in the past ten yeare. I leave it to you to find another who has done more to reduce taxation. [ will deal with the gasoline tax at another meeting but I will say that all <hat is not used on the roads should be returned to the municipalities. 1 also say this, who is there who has done more in getting road grants for the town of Preston than myâ€" «elf. Returning officer Fred Debus of New Hamburg presided at the meetâ€" ing. The nomination papers of each candidate were signed by repyesenâ€" tative numbers of Conservatives and Liberals. ar The nomination meeting held in the town hall, Preston, on Saturday resulted in two candidates being officially nominated, Mark M. Donâ€" wld, Conservative, and Norman O. Hipel, Liberal. Both candidates are popular in Preston and well known in the riding and an interesting conâ€" té®t is promised on "Wednesday next when the byâ€" election will be held. The glection was made necesâ€" sary b{. the resignation of Karl K. Homuth, popular member for tweive years, who contested the recent federal election in North Waterloo against Hon. W. D. Euler. _A sketch of the' life of each canâ€" didate appears in another column. Conservative Candidate Repiies : The Conservative candidate, M. M.

Donald t In regard to unemployment reâ€" lief in Preston, Mr. Donaid said even now the engineer was workâ€" ing out plans for a trunk sewer that in the ordinary course of events would be postponed for three or four years. Speaking generally , Mr. Donald said it was imposelble !t» take four million dollars such as was Ontario‘s share of the reâ€" jlief money and hband it out indisâ€" |eriminately to everyone who asked |for it. It would require a little de |lay to handle the thing properly but it was, after all. only good busiâ€" ness to do so. In the matter of the gas tax, Mr. Donald said the government was using part of this money to retire the original eapital debt of $0 milâ€" lions â€" spent on | highways. | Last year for the first time, there was a wurplus of a million dollars in the tContinued on Page 8) Mr. Donald. in the matter of municipal records, felt that his own record â€" would compare favorably with that of Mr. Hipel. The Liberâ€" al candidate was advocating lower taxation, yet where and how was he going to accomplish this? What was he going to cut out? He would apparently cut off revenue, increase expenditure and get lower taxation. the speaker asserted. Mrs. S. B. Bricker, Waterloo, was vlected president of the Waterlou Women‘s Auxiliary to the Freeport Sanatorium at the annual meeting held recently. The ladies have done splendid work during the ~year. They: have assisted in the furnishing of a new wing, contributing comâ€" plete furniture for a ward, includâ€" ing four beds. One of these beds was furnished by the Ladies‘ Aid of the Evangelical Church at a cost of $150. Women‘s organizations of all the other churches also made contributions. Children in Alexanâ€" dra School made a quilt for the children of the Sanatorium and also sent Valentines. Members of the "Eastern Star" also made a valuâ€" able contribution. In all, the citizens of Waterloo contributed to the Freeport Sanatorium through this muxiliary $768 in cash and other ifts to the value of approximately §380. or a total of $1,148. The citizens of Waterloo are cordially invited to help support the campaign in the annual sale of Christmas seals. Mr. Hipel, he said, was stating that Mr. Homuth was the cause of the expense for the present byâ€"elecâ€" tion, yet the fact was that Mr. Hoâ€" muth. by resigning to contest the North Waterloo seat, had helped to put into power the Bennett govâ€" ernment, . who so promptly voted the _ unemployment â€" fund. Three months ago, the speaker stated, Mr. Hipel and his friends were going around the riding saying that there was no unemployment. Had the Liberals been returned to Ottawa,. Mr. DonaM believed they would have appointed a commission and been still discussing the issue. Let the government take its own res ponsibility in the matter, he said: The Drury government was an adâ€" ministration that appointed | many costly commissions and accomplishâ€" ea nothing.

Droles was working at the very end of the tunnel with Balog stooped at his side, but Brogas, who was rescued from the tunnel 15 hours afâ€" ter being trapped only to die in the hospital. was clcse to the concrete cosing. Droles was buried to his waist. but managed to scrape the earth away_from himself sufficiently to seramble out after cutting his trousers from his legs. ‘Thus freed, he scrambled over the fallen earth and gained safety when rescuers shovelled out a small tunnel at the side of the excavation * Droles, the only surviver of the three men, bears a charmed life, for he revealed following the inquest that his nervewracking experience at Doon was not his first "burial" alive while engaged in tunnelling. Twice he was buried while doing «imilar work in his native land, Hungary, but each time he was trken from the earth alive. He is still nursing a sore leg, but when that heals he intends to go right back into the earth from whose hungry jaws he has thrice stepped aflter facing death. John Taylor of the Taylor Co. of Hamilton, in charge of the laying of tunnel at Doon, described in deâ€" tail the caveâ€"in, cabsed by earth slipping in from one side resulting in the cribwork giving way. He had visited the spot where the three men were working at 5.30 o‘clock in the morning and finding everythi in order had walked two hundr:g feet back through the tunnel when an alarm was raised that earth had caved in. He went back at once and found Drotos buried up to his waist, Balog to his shoulders and Brogas up to his chest. Drotos, by frantic efforts, was able to free himâ€" self and crawl to safety but not until he had placed boards overhead to protect Balog. Mr. Taylor told of how he organized men to make the rescue, staying on the scene until the last man was taken from the tunnel.
