Nominee Speaks In his acceptance speech Jack Smith thanked the people of North York for their expression of confi- dence and continuing said, “It has; been a great honor and privilege to have served as the representative of this historic riding in the last Par: liament, and I have tried honestly and sincerely to 'serve you well. have tried to serve the best: interests of North York and the nation as a whole. without fear or favor all the people of North York, irrespective of «party, race, color or religion, and so this af- ternoon l have no hesitation in ap- pealingr to all the people of North York, irrespective of party affiliation I have no hesitation in appealing at this time for the support of all the people of North York who seriously and sincerely want a strong govern- ment in Canada for the next five years. I wish to take this opportunity too of acknowledging the many kind of- fers of assistance and support which I have received from members of other political parties, who after a thoughtful survey of the present pol- itical situation in Canada have come to the conclusion the logical conclusion . . that at this time, in this riding, the best way to cast an efi'ective vote for strong government is to vote for the Liberal candidate. Experience â€" Not Stunt-flying Let us not forget that we are liv- ing in a world still troubled and dis- organized afrer a devastating war, a world where peace still does not reign four years after the war, a world where there are still threats of economic chaos and even threats of war itsxlf. At such a time I believe the people of Canada are more con- ccrned and rightly more concerned, with having a strong government of proven cxpcricnce. than they are con- cerned with partisanship or political stunt-flying. I submit that this is a time in our political thinking we should banish paltls‘JllSlllp and prejudices and vote in the best interests of the futuré welfare of Canada. I believe in all honesty and sincerâ€" iey that the future welfare of Canada can be served best at this time by the ic-clection of the government led by :i great statesman and a fine Cana~ diaii. Rt.

Such a record, not of promises, but of achievement is the record of the government we ask the people of Canada to "endorse on June 27th . such is tlhe record of the gov- ernment of which I am proud to be ‘a candidate in the coming election. ‘ Welcome BaCk Home I am happy to welcome at this convention delegates from the Twp. of Markham, the Village ot Mark- ham and the Village of Stouffville.

Lionel C‘hcvricr, Minister of Transport for Canada delighted the large audience with an address out~ lining the record of the present government and criticizing the in- consistent attitude of the new leader of the opposition. “When Mr. Drew was leader of the opposition in ,On- tario he laughed and. sneered at the idea of there being nine provincial governments in Canada. But when he became premier of Ontario his views were entirely changed. He an no longer had any desire fOr one strong central government. He is now in Ottawa as leader of the op- position and his talk is all provin- cial rights.” Mr. *Chevrier warned that fascism in Canada isn't so far off “when one reviews the sort of government given to the people of Quebec and Ontario by Premier Duâ€" plessis and former Premier Drew." ‘Hc said the Liberal party defended to the fullest extent the rights of free speech, freedom of religion and Irecdom of the press. “Any blil curtailing free should be condenrned when the leaâ€" der of a party attacks a great news- paper," he added, referring to the Ontario Charitable Gifts Act effect- ing The Toronto Daily Star. Mr. Chcvrier said the Liberal par- ty has only one policy for all of 'Canada, not one system for Ontario. 'ano‘ther for Quebec and so on. “Economic security has always will be . the aim of the Liberal party," he said. “We are against high tariffs as they hinder the flow of free trade. Trade makes economy consistent and must be car'â€" ried on as freely as p0:slbl0." .\IUst Curb Greed l He cmphasizvd that big busincs: must be content with a small perâ€" centage of the national income: must curb greed; and labour and manage- ment mizst share responsibility.

It was really impressive, he said. to note how cheerful and happy the children were in spite of their handicaps. The goal of today, said the speaker. is to combine loeal and national in- terest in raising better men and wo- men. The hope of the world lies in what is done for children six years and under. Life expectancy tables showed that in the year 1800 the life. average was 20 years. in 1900 it was 48 years, and today is 60 years. In- fant. mortality has been greatly re- duced, statistics show.

The Maytime Fair for which they had planned and worked for many weeks had come to a highly successful conclusion Sat- urday evening. The ambitious three day fair opâ€" ened with a bridge on Thursday af- ternoon. Lawrence Memorial Hall had been gain decorated with color- - ed streamers in May pole effect, and clever cartoons of gamboling spring lambs, ctc., on the walls. When two hundred and fifty women in pretty summer dresses were seated at the card tables, the scene was very, very gala. Judging from the hub bub there was more pleasant conversation than serious bridge, but it did not matter as prizes were awarded by means of lucky draws. Afternoon tea was served by members of the Pariin Guild and during the tea hour some of their small daughters took part in a deilghtful little fashion show, modelling very dainty chil- dren's dresses which had been made by the Guild for the coming Bazaar. Incidentally an interesting behind- the-scencs service to mothers who wanted to assist, or play, at the bridge was provided by baby sitters who looked after 23 children at the rectory. On Friday between 5 and T p.m. more than 3.300 people enjoyed the appetizing buffet supper provided by the WA. in the newly decorated basement of the Hall. The tables chre players began to arrive for an chre layrs began to arrive for an evening session, and upstairs the or- chestra tuned up for the dance, two popular features sponsored by the Men’s Association.

There. were er to aid each one. It. is only of late years that it has been learned that cerebral palsy can beilrelped and to- day we are also learning that a great deal can be done for these children. Tire Ontario Society for Crippled Children was originally formed by 6 service clubs, Mr. Rogers informed his audience. This has now grown to 187 service clubs who administer the affairs of the society, which has a staff of some thirty people. All details are handled Ly a committee of service club numbers. Lions, he said, stand second as a service organization in this work. Camps for cripple children in Ontarâ€" io are located at Blue Mountain, leorgian Bay; Woodeden near Lon- don; Merrvywood-on-thc-Ride-an near Ottawa. Another camp is planned for Northern Ontario. At these canrps it was amazing to see the things that crippled children could do under proper guidance ‘ things that thev had never dreamed that they could do. First in Ontario It is expected that a special cereb- ral palsy camp would be opened at London this fall as a cemonstration camp. It will be the first of its kind in Ontario. For some time vocation- al training for eripnled children has been recommended. This has now been made possible by Variety Club of Toronto, which is going to con- struct and maintain Variety Village near Scarboro on a twelve-acre plot of ground, and is also the first of its kind anywhere on the North Am- erican continent. The object of the societyrsaid Mr." ‘ Rogers, is expressed in the phrase- “Their Tomorrow Is Our Care To- day.” Mr. Rogers was introduced by Lion Ned Hill and thanked, at the con- clusion of his address, by Lion Mel Maltby.
