By Mrs. Aaron Helmuth Had a member of the present Council desired this position I certainly would NOT ha‘ave considered being a eg_vndidate. Hoping to receive your favorable consideration and your vote, & I remain, My opponent is a young man with a good education and a university degree, which will always stand him in good stead, but he is entirely without municipal experience, and in this campaign for election no detriâ€" mental word will ever be heard from me in regard to his personality. The Polling Day is set for Monday, March 20th, when the Polling Booths will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and in this democratic country where we all enjoy the franchise, I hope that the electors will exercise their privilege for which our forefathers fought and won. I was born in this Township on the farm on which I now reside and havehalways lived and endeavored to make it a home and maintain its fertility. . Since that time I have served this municipality as Deputy Reeve for three years and as this is of comparative recent date I trust you all know my record. For a long number of years I have been connected with different Societies and Associations, which have had dealings with the public genâ€" erally, and in order to maintain my position therein, which I have done, my services must have been appreciated. I made the statement to them at thht time that it was not a kindness to any ratepayer to let him get behind with his taxes. I am pleased that later Councils acted upon my recommendations and at this date the arrears of taxes are less than $20,000. I have had municipal experience for a long time, having acted as Municipal Auditor for ten years, when the financial position of the muniâ€" cipality was not in as good shape as it is at the present time and in preâ€" senting that statement to the then existing councillors, 1 made cerain recommendations to them, which they acted upon and are still in force. Owing to a vacancy being created by the resignation of the Reeve who was elected for the year 1944, from which he resigned in order to accept the position of Township Assessor and Collector of Taxes, a new :xg: tion has been called for. 1 have been prevailed upon to offer my for that position, and acceding to their requests, I have accepted a nominaâ€" tion at a meeting, which was held at the Township Hall at Centreville on 1stâ€"That Poll Taxes be collected previous to August 1st of the year in which they are levied. s â€"That Dog Taxes be collected by the Assessor when the assessment is made ‘and are due not later than the 1st of / May of the current year. i â€"That the Council pay particular attention to the Collection of Tax Arrears, which amounted to $103,473.09 in 1933.

Harry Weil and Lorne Junker preâ€" sented the gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Junker who replied fittingly. The remainder of the evening was spent in cards and a social visit was enâ€" joyed by all.

Drawn into the Throne Speech debate by an attack on the Govâ€" ernment‘s farm policies by T. C. Douglas â€"(C.C.F., Weyburn), Mr. Gardiner told of accumulating surâ€" pluses of meats and the problem of obtaining shipping to move inâ€" creased qauantities to Britain. Oldâ€"Time Flareâ€"Up The debate had been expected to end today but it suddenly flared into an oldâ€"time political argument with members pounding their desks in applause as Mr. Douglas and Mr. Gardiner, both from Sasâ€" katchewan, argued across the floor. M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. national leader, said the minister had no right to call members of the C.C.F. group National Socialists. Mr. Garâ€" diner replied that often parties had to accept names given them by their opponents and asked what was the proper name for people who wanted "national socialization of everything in Canada." Mr. Gardiner said that every year since the war began C.C.F. members had predicted a calamity would strike agriculture. Despite increased production 48 per cent of every farm product was sellâ€" ing at higherâ€"thanâ€"parity prices. Reduced Unemployment The reason there had been unâ€" ecmployment before the war was that Canada was unable to sell its goods in the countries which had The Willing Workers Sewing Circle held their March meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Abram Bauman Saturday afternoon.

When you come home, relax and enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hackbart spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Maurer at Rostock. ‘"‘This Government is in every sense a Liberal Government," he said. "We do not intend to apply state socialism either to agriculture or to any other line of industry in order to bring about prosperity in Canada, because we know that in a free world such as we will have after the warâ€"where there will not be national socialist states in Europe, where people will be preâ€" pared to trade with one another and to treat one another as brothâ€" er menâ€"that the conditions will be much better under a spirit of Libâ€" cralism than under any other spirit which can be established in this country." _ _ __ A. M. Nicholson (C.C.F., Macâ€".
