Howe, Minister of Na. tienal Transport and member of the House of Commons for Port Arthur. Mr. Howe has won himself a nation- wide reputation for his successful handling of this important portfolio and in a business-like manner he gave the large audience a review of federal affairs. The only way to improve the radio situation in Canada, the Minister said, was to place the control of radio in the hands of an experienced man who knew radio, radio programs ada by North York’s representative, Bill Mulock, and in an. inspiring adâ€" dress urged the electors to uphold the finest and'best in British tradi- tions. The King gov‘ernment he said was leading the people once again into the happier days of prosperity with its policies, of good will and more extensive trade with the na- tions of the world. J. H. Naughton, president of the North York Liberal Association pre- sided as chairman for the speech- making part of the program and the first speaker was Morgan Baker, member for North York in the pro- vincial legislature. Mr. Baker exâ€" pressed regret that Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King was unable to at- tend but commended him for up- holding _the honored tradition of Can- adian Prime Ministers of not mixing in provincial elections. He paid tri- bute to the splendid work done by Mackenzie King and his government in bringing back prosperity to Can- ada. Reviewing the record of the Hepburn government he said it was a record of service to the people of Ontario unequalled by any other ad- ministration in the history of On- tario. Mr. Hepburn’s balanced bud- get had made pOSsible tax reduction for the great mass of the people of the province and his administration of Hydro had saved this great pub- lic ownership project for the people of Ontario. ' George McPhee, Member of Par- liament for Yorkton, Saskatchewan, paid glowing tribute to the service rendered in the Parliament of Can- First Death on Wednesday When Harold Wideman is Victim No new cases of the dread In- fantile Paralysis were reported to- day and there are at present 5 cases in‘the Richmond Hill district. The first death occurred Wednesday when Harold L. Wideman, twenty- year old son! of Mr. and Mrs. Rolph Wideman of the second concession of Markham passed away after an illness of about six days. Reeve J. A. Greene called a spec cial meeting of the Board of Health Monday morning when immediate steps were taken to cope with the threatened epidemic. The opening of the schools has been postponed at least until September 7th, the play grounds have been closed and Sunday Schools have been asked to cancel sessions for at least twp weeks. A general appeal also is made to all parents to keep a strict watch for all symptoms of the dis- .ease and to immediater consult the “I sincerely hope you enjoy your- selves as much to-day, as I enjoy having you here as my guests,” said Col. W. P. Mulock, M.P. in extending a cordial welcome to the thousands of North York constituents who gathered at the Woodbridge Fair grounds last Saturday for the an- nual Mulock picnic. Now an estab- lished annual event in North York the Mulock picnic this year was the most successful in history. It was largely attended and everyone had a wonderful time as guests of the popular North York member. There was a varied and colorful program of softball, football, horseshoe pitch- ing, races, contests, midway attrac- tions, bands, speeches, with special treats for the kiddies.

We wrote off more than five million dollars’ worth of debt, and as a result the railway is now able to earn interest on its investment when conditions return to normal,” declared Mr. Howe. Dealing with foreign markets, the Minister told his audience that as a T8511“? of the trade agreements ne- gotiated with the United States, the straightening out of the difficulties .with Japan, and the negotiating of treaties with other foreign powers, Canada now had markets of almost unbelievable limits. “The debt of the C.N.R. was al. most at inconceivable figures when the Liberals took office,” continued Mr. Howe. “The figures represent- ed no investment whatever. Interest on the debt was more than the de- rficit itself. “Mr. King placed at its head a man who knew railroading_through and through.

In Western Ontario the num- ber of persons suffering from the disease was near the seventy-five mark. Fifty.four cases were in the London area. Isolated cases were reported from Eastern Ontario, while a case in Sault Ste. Marie yester- day brought the numher in Northern Ontario to three. About twenty- five persons were under treatment in the Niagara Peninsula. “It is two years since the King Administration took office, with a promise to bring back prosperous days to Canada," Mr. Howe said, “and no one will quarrel with my assertion that we have travelled con- siderably on our way to prosperity.
