WILL `BE MAYOR, 1929 Some friend would a preciate receiving a copy of The xaminer. CARL LAEMMLE presents The King of Laughs at his Glorious Best! REFHUR McLEAN AGAIN mzcrm Reprsentswl-32;-e-Allandale in Older _ Boys Parliament. Arthur |McLean proved `himself a good repeater when on -Saturday last he was re-elected to the Older Boys Parliament of Ontario for a second term. His majority over Douglas -Smith was 82, the vote being: McLean 13'7, |Sm-ith 5-5. The successful candidate has pro- ven himself a capable administra- tor and had an edge on his oppon- ent in campaign experience. Doug- las Smith s rst venture in poli- tics. however, is also considered as creditable, considering his opposi- L5 .... tion. . The polls were held in vacant stores formerly occupied by H. A. Jarvis in Barrie and next Both- we1l s store in Allandale. The to- tal vote is about 25 more than rmm mmAMn+.n: nhmidated on last year. The candidates elucidated the planks in their p'1atforms in -Central Church the Tuesday even- ing previous .to election day. Ar- thur McLean. who is leader of the Trail Rangers in St. An-drew s _ Presbyterian -Church, advocated - the inclusion of `Trail Rangers as eligible for the Boys Parliament. This is one of the chief topics to be discussed when Parliament meets in Toronto Dec. 26-31. Douglas Smith was opposed to this move. Other planks in Mc-Lean s platform were the advocacy of,a second member from Barrie-Al- landvale, co-operation with the C. * G.I.`T., bigger bond-selling cam- paign and allegiance to the can- dridacy of James Gibson of Hagers- ville for premier. Douglas `Smith urged among other things, a program towards assisting boys of industrial schools establishing themselves as useful Canadians, the formation of teen-age boys clubs and class- es in 'Tuxis groups and agreed with his opponent on the question of bond-selling. He supported Har- ley Moyer of Hami'lton for pre- mier. LARGE CONGREGATIONS COLLIER- ANNIVERSARY E. J. Lambert, reeve of `Stayner for several years and the present warden of \Simcoe `County, instead of retiring from municipal poli- tics, ran for the mayoralty of m...n.m- an Mnndmr and won out successful anniversary services were held `by the congregation of 4 Collier :St. United `Church on Sun- day, there being a large attend- ance morning and' evening and the special anniversary collection amounted to nearly $700. 'Rev. E. C. Kenney, of Owen Sound, presi- dent of the 'Toronto Conference, was the special minister delivering two helpful sermons. In the mom- ing he chose his text from Deut. 3'3:'1~6 For the `Goodwill of Him that Dwelt in the Bush, and in theevening from Psalm 1`39:'7-8, lIf I take the wings of the morn- 'ing and dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth, even there shall Thy hand lead me and Thy right hand! shall` hold me.
