King, Progressive f Ont,, Sept. 12,--Staging | one of the stiffest uphill battles in the history of North Huron elections the Conservatives withstood the on- slaughts of the whole Liberal Cabi- net and George Spotton emerged to- day the victor in the by-election' for the Conservatives with a majority of 198. The final figures give: George Spotton, Cons, ,.....4,681 Archie Hislop Lib. ,.,.......4,333 Sheldon Bricker, Prog, ......2,726 This majority is not as large as former Conservative majorities but | it was large enough considering the opposition he had, not only from the standpoint of the three-cornered battle but also from the tactics em- ployed by the Liberals throughout the riding more narticularly in God- erich which, while a Conservative 1aws, gave Hislop a majority of Wihen the early reports started it was thought that Hislop would have a small majority hut the townships of Howick and East and West Wa- wawanosh ran true to form, the lat- ter townships turning the trick. Bricker, the U.F.0. Progressive can- didate did not figure in the run- ning as much as was expected and at one time it was thought that he would lose his deposit, During the past few weeks the Liberals with a strong organization started one of the most active cam- paigns ever attempted in the Hur- ons. Beginning with the: Prime Min- ister practically the whole Cabinet has been here in an endeavor to win the seat for Archie Hislop. Agnes MacPhail alse put In stren- uous work for Sheldon Bricker, the Progressive. The Liberal workers in town took advantage of the situation to im- press upon the voters locally that to improve harbor conditions here it was policy to vote for the Govern- ment. Seemingly this had its effect, judging by the results of the polls in town. The election was rendered neces- sary hy the death nine months ago of the member, John W. King, Pro- gressive who had held the seat since the general election of 1921. In the general elections immediately pre- ceding the constituency had gone Conservative, James Bowman being elected by a majority of nearly 2,000, when he ran as a Government (Unionist) candidate. King's Pro- gressive majority was 1.196 in the election of 1921, but his vote had dropped to a majority of 245 in the general election of last year. Today's weather was ideal for the electors and a larger vote was ex- pected. The Conservative camdidate confined himself largely to personal canvassing on. behalf of himself and his supporters holding only one pub- lic meeting during the campaign.

GOLD NUGGETS ARE FOUND IN BRICKYARD » Sept. 13.--Nug- nd in a deposit a brickyard in i rous: t deal of attention. The sand was pe ered in heayy clay, about eight feet below the surface, by workmen who were digging a trench. About 40 or 50 nuggets were collected cach weigh- ing a few pennyweight. The sand de- posits are not common in the city and there is much speculation as to whence the gold was washed into the sand, as the gold was found considerably above the level of bed rock which is from 60 to 70 feet from the surface. The possibility of placep gold being found by careful prospecting in this vicinity is being seriously discussed. MANITOBA BREWERY'S PERMIT SUSPENDED Winnipeg, Sept. 13--The Manitoba Commission Friday suspended for a period of 14 days the permit of the Kiewel Brewery Company, to sell beer in the province, and penalized Pelissier's, Limited, for a period of seven days.

Hutchinson Serves Notice on Board of Education -- Children Referred to Live South of C. N. R, Outside City Limits -- Board De- clares Expulsion for Non' payment of Fees By S, S. No. 4 Will Be Continued Until Full Account Paid Acting by virtue of the authority invested 'in him as county school inspector for South Ontario County, Inspector R. A. Hutchinson of Whit- by served notice on the Oshawa Board of Education at its meeting last night that he will order four pupils living south of the C. N. R. tracks, but in the township just outside the city lmits, accommo- dated in the Cedardale School. This formal action was taken by Mr. Hutchinson after the Board had declared that the expulsion for non- payment of fees by School Section No. 4 of East Whitby would be con- tinued agpinst the children until the full account was paid. The Board accepted Mr. Hutchinson's notice with good grace. "We have no recourse in the matter" Chair- man Mitchell stated, 'and we quite understand your position Mr, Hut- chinson." It is probable, however, that suit will be entered against the Township at an early date to secure the balance claimed. Mr. Hutchinson invited to address the trustees, stated that he was there on behalf of the County Coun- cil and in behalf some five children living in lots 10 and 11 in the dis- trict assigned to the Union School in East Whitby Township. He point- ed out that there was no road from these children's residence to the it was necessary for them to be accommodated in the Cedardale school. Mr. Hutchinson declared that the children's fees would be paid in future, but the trustees were ada- mant to this suggestion holding that a noint of principal was involved. Trustee Norris suggested that the Board merely continue to the next order of business and leave the mat- ter as it stood. He felt deeply that any child should be denied educa- tion. but he felt that Oshawa could no longer submit to the attitude adopted by trustees of East Whitby school sections. Mr. Hutchinson, feelingly of the fact that whatever question of right or wrong was in- volved, it was children who would suffer. "Take that message to the County Council," Trustee Garbutt suggest- ed. ""They are the ones who should bear that in mind." Chairman Mitchell pointed out that Oshawa had made every effort to come to terms. "They will dis- cuss it" he said in reference to the bodies appealed to, "but they just sit and talk, sit and talk. We can't do business with that sort of people. We have tried to get some under- standing for a whole year. "Oshawa is big-hearted enough to give these four children an educa- tion but this isn't a question of charity to individuals, but whether we admit these children and be ful- filling our duty to the citizens of this city."

Present were other dignitaries of the church, including Bishop O'Brien, of Peterborough, and Bishop McNally, of Hamilton. The subject of the Cardinal's speech was Christian educayjion. He re- ferred in commendator)y terms to the situation of Catholics in Canada as regards education and spoke of efforts to build up a Catholic educational sys- tem in the United States. "He who looks into the future," said His Eminence, "cannot but see that the great battle that is going to be waged between Christianity and atheism, between Christian and anti- Christian, between progress and de- cadence and civilization, will take place on the battlefield of education." "This question is constantly arising. You see a cloud of Communism rising in the east. You are afraid of it. The danger is real. Those in charge of it are intelligent men.
