Bennett Defea'^s Conservative by 2309 A landslide to the side of the Lib- oral party was the result of the el- ection on Monday, when they cap- tured 193 seats out of a possible 262, with the Progressive Consei-vatives securing only 42. The CCF lost out heavily and only won 12 seats from coast to coast. Walter E. Harris of M'arkdale won Grey-Bruce with a greater majority than ever, being 4666 votes ahead of his fellow-townsman, Frank D. Saw- year, who had 6146. Mr. Harris has been the memiber for Grey-Bruce since 1940. In the last House of Coimmons he was parlianientavy sec retary to the Prime Minister. North Grey turned over from t'l Conservative side to that of Liberal when they elected Colin E. Bennett Meaford lawyer, with a majority of 2o'09 over Garfield Case, the member in the last House. Osprey TowntShip was one of the few municipalities to give the Progressive Conservative candidate a majority, while Dundalk grave the Progressive Conservative candidate, Mr. Sawyer, a majority. The Porfclaw poll in Artemesia was the only one in the township to givf Sawyer a majority.

GREY COUNTY SETS RATE AT W/^ MILLS .4Lt its wind-up meetinig of the J^lne session at Owen Sound on Sat- urday, Grey County Council struck a 10'»;-mill tax rate, tthe same as last year. This year's rate will raise $303^309 in taxes, approxim- ately $3,500 more than was secured last year, due to the county's ass- essment being increased by $300,000. The Council granted $] 2,500- to the erection of a nurses' residence and five community centres, follow- ing the recommendation of the fi- nance comimitttee. Durham Hospi- talwill receive S7,500 toward a nurs- es; residence, while the townships of Euphrasia, CoUingwood, Normanby and Sullivan and the Village o± Fle.sihrton will each be granted $1.- 000 toward their comnnunity centres. Andrew Beattie, Sydenham Town- .^hip's leeve, chairman of the pro- perty committee, declared that a memorial cairn to the war dead of the County may be erected on the fronf lawn of the court house In Owen Sound. The pro'ject will be dis- cussed at a later date. The annual convention of the (Os- prey Sunday School A.ssociation Wfas held in Maiple Valley Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, June 2l8t, with the president, Rev. H. L. Shantz. presiding. Due to other conflicting meetings, the attendance this year was small. Following the opening of the con- vention, Rev. Shantz gave a review of the year's work, and the minutes and financial reports were reai by the secretary, Mrs. Leslie Smith. Statistical reports from seven Sun- day School* were read. The guest speaker, Rev. J. A. C. Kell, gave a .short address on *he subject "Where to From Here," and also gave a Tew pointers on teaching older boys and ffirls, stlressing the fact that the teacher must love the pupils with a Christ-like love to be really eifect- ive. A discussion on Sunday Sciiool prnbjcms followed and the after- noon session was closed by sing'.ng the hymn "O Master,* Let Me Walk With Thee." The evening session was opened by singing and Mr. Dean Smith, student minister of Maple Valley church and Rev. Mill en of Maxwell led in prayer. During the eveniiig. .he convention was favored with an accordian solo "Onward, Christian Soldiers,'' by Mr. Smith, and a vocal solo "Does Jesus Care?" by Mrs, .Alvin Stewart. ^ The main feature of the eveniii^ was an inspiring address by Ra^^ Kell on the subject "Are you mga* than a sign post?" He stressed tBf fact that as sign nests are impOVt- a;it in directing the motorist on hjr way, so is the Sunday School teiuik a sign post, pointing boys and glr? • along life's way and warning tfet >' of the dangers on the road, iigi : ; teachers, we must He more thaii ^ i posts and. not only point, but} If ! the way. .K service of dedication wa-i IB :. conducted by Rev.

He had been a sufferer from heart trouble for some time. The late Bert Best was the young- est son of the late Mr. anJ Mrs. Robert Best and was born on the farm at Springhill, now owned by Frank Eagles. He was married to Miss Reta Fisher, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Pi:her, and they moved to the West 30 years ago, residing at Grand Prairie. They were on a visit to their sons at Daw- son Creek when he was stri::ken with appendicits. Deceased is survived by hi;-- sor- rowing wife, two sons and one daughter, Mei-vyn and Tom at Daw- son Creek, B.C., and Lavern°, Ma-s. Larry Keelan of Sterling, 0"t. He also leaves one brother, Charles, 'of Flesherton, and three sisters, Rachel (Mrs. Simmons) of Toronto, Maggie (Mrs. L. Talbot) of Artemesia and Rhoda (Mrs. Geo. Udell) of Toronto. Last fall Mr. Best and his wife paid a visit to old scenes in this district and called on many friends, spending a couple of montJiB in the East. It was a pleaswre to see them again. He was highly regarded by n wide circle of friends for his kindly disiposition and friendly per- sonality. Mrs. Best and otiher mem- bers of the famiily have the sincere sympathy of their friends here. Britain's war with France in 1696 was partly paid for by a tax on bachelors.
