8loqfffll ontario tuesday thursday and saturday evenings by the watchman the political pot in ontario is starting to simmer again and the conservative party is be ginning to let off a lot of steam up and down the countryside since the elevation of hon earl rowe to the leadership of the conservative forces there has been plenty of speechmaking and firing of broadsides though little damage has been done the good old summer time i not the best period in the year for political manoeuvres its too hot the conservatives show plen ty of signs of rejuvenation they are not the despondent ailing party of immediately after the 1934 election there has been a blood transfusion and the warriors are champing on the bit awaiting the signal to tear the liberals to pieces but unfortunately for them the signal for politiical warfare will not be made by their new chief when the herjburji govern ment decides to bring on a general election then and then only will the signal be given and it is a safe bet that the hep burn cabinet will follow the usual proceduie in s cases and hold back until the time is most opportune for them that the liberals are not underestimating the strength and ability of the conservatives is evidenced by the plans which have been made by the party strategists to acquaint the people with what they have done since taking office premier hep burn has just completed a speaking tour in both old and new ontario it is the first time since the election that he ha made a speaking tour lasting more than two or three days the conservatives are believ ed to be somewhat handicapped in the matter of political amuni tion true there is the separ ate school issue but many ob servers do not feel that this will be such a strong selling point as formerly believed it is certain the governments opponents will exploit this issue for all it is worth but whether it will be enough to swing the tide in their favor is something else again then there is the hydro busi ness to be fought all over again the old cry of sanctity of con tracts will be dragged out once more for vote catching purpos- esbut here again the conserva tives have an issue of rather doubtful quality it is not thought the hydro attack will be as effective as the separate school issue on the other side of the fence there is the undeniable fact that if the hepburn government can as they have promised balance the budget and show a small surplus they will be in a com fortable position so far as finance are concerned when they appeal to the people but it is a question whether the electors will pay as much atten tion to figures as they will to the rabblerousing cries of those de siring to up the government it has been the experience in the past in some elections at least that a good financial re cord makes only a small im pression on the electorate why nobody really know the record of the hepburn government to date is not the kind of one that gives encourag- ment to their opponents of course the conservatives wifll be on the offensive while the government will occupy the de fensive role and it is always eaier to attack than to defend outside of the separate school issue and the quebec hydro contracts there is not much comfort for the conservatives eager though they are for an election but it will be a terrific struggle and the electors of ontario are going to hear a lot of speechmaking and plenty of wrangling before the s clears away seven fire brigades fight to save entire village bo grove iu peru as hayfilled darn of franklin itaymer burns crowded out last week fire brigades from

the past week was made even worse by the shortage of water iu stouff ville as in every other municipality where a domestic system existed even the city of toronto could uot cope with the demand but there is a strong feeling iu stouffville that had the municipal council proceed ed with the construction of a huge reservoir on the new ground pur chased a year ago the shutdown would not have had to be so com plete the problem iu this village as we all know is one of storage facili ties not one of water shortage enough runs to waste for eight months of the year to fill a tremendous reservoir which would go a long way in any ordinary dry period however the council after buying land last year lost the cnr as a customer and decided to wait and seo what difference it would make without them unfortunately it seems to make no difference at all and the demand of the ratepayers is that before another summer drought comes action be taken to store the water which is wanted for the village the tribune has made a careful canvas of the situation and is pre pared to wager that a petition pray ing the council to proceed with this work before another year comes round would be signed by almost onehundred per cent of the- water users that ought tdbe enough to fire the imagination of any council to action the expansion program has- the backing of the medical officers of health and such men as
