The Woodbridge Conservative Asâ€" sociation held their annual meeting in the Orange Hall on Saturday night, and although the weather was most unfavorable, many. of the standâ€" patters were present.

South York; C, L. Wallace, exwarden; Mrs, Jarvis, and Mr. Stratton, representatives of York Township Conservative Association. C. L. Wallace was most enthusiastic in his address on Northern Ontario and the possibilities offorded future Canada in that emmense territory, when ‘unlimited quantities of almost every metal known dwells thousands of feet below the earth‘s surface. Mr. Wallace predicts that with a policy of protection a population in Canâ€" ada of 20,000,000 in the not distant future is no dream. > +BRIDGE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION WELL ATTENDED. Col. Lennox dwelt mainly on the tariff policy of the United States which he argues is detrimental to all the people of Canada, with a most damaging effect on the Canadian farmer. In reasoning the matter out Col. Lennox urged that Canada must protect Canadian industries against the encroachment of the nation across the border whose policy is almost proâ€" hibitive. The remedy lies in the Natâ€" ional policy which he said must be applied to equal the situation estabâ€" lished by our neighbors to the south. Mr. Macaulay based his remarks on the Liquor Control policy of Premier Ferguson, making it clear by statistâ€" ics that the conditions in Ontario has vastly improved through Government Control as compared with what preâ€" vailed under the O.T.A. when lawlessâ€" ness was rampant and bootleggers prospered by dispensing poison liquor. Resolutions, adopted by the assoâ€" ciation were read by the secretary, endorsing the action of Col. Lennox and Mr. Macaulay while representing their respective ridings in parliament at Ottawa and Toronto. M. Stratton, and Mrs. Jarvis, of York Township spoke chiefly on matâ€" ters effecting the association. Officers elected are Hon. Presiâ€" dents, Col. J. H. Lennox, M.P.

Fitâ€" ting reference was made by the pastor in the great loss our Church has susâ€" tained in the death of Elder Streight, one of the founders of our Congregaâ€" tion. For the present and in view of the summer seasons attractions the memâ€" bers of the Young People‘s League have withdrawn from their customary activities.
