D.O. is one of Ccrdston's town " • councilman and editor of the Card­ston News.He speaks with pride as to Cardston's financial.position and its low miil.rate. According to George Heathershaw. the< Cardston Editor is to. be the lib­eral nomiee in the forthcoming prov­incial electoon.George should know. Personally we have never been able to see much to Liberal policies but we belie:ve M?. Wight could hold the job down as wwll as any lifeeBAl we can think of right now. On July 8th. Joe-Card the last Conssrvative aandidate j in the Cardston riding told I a Magath audience that the : Depression was over. A crack like that is 'enough to el- ' emanate him from the forth- _ coming picture and if Mr. .ttring^a^m the present U.F.A. memmer declines nominntion;. then D.O.should have pretty clear sailing* Perhaps we should have consulted our old friends John Bridge of Del Bonita and Jim Fanran of Boundary Creek,befnre giving our readers the "low down” on the next provincial election. If the above is wrong blame George. — RAINFALL AS RECORDER AT THE' C .P.R. HEADGAAES• • 1934 ■ — APRIL' 3 inches wet Snow, MAY' <8 . JUNE 5.02 Rain. Rain.

We stopped at Heathershaw’s to pick up Blige Bourne. Elige was seated at the dinner table §0 we had to wait and wait. Myrle is a real cook. We overheard'the following, talk: On August 31 st. 1934, Elige willbe sixty years old. George and Myrle will have been marr­ied thirty years on July 27th. George came to Canada in I900,Myrle on the sixth of August, thirty years ago. Thay have had two homes during their stay here. The late Fred Karren was the hard­est opposition George had while in the implement business. Fred sold a Champion binder to Ray Decker. It ran out of twine and Roy returned'it, complaining that it wouldn’t work. When Roy and Ira Decker.quit the Garden City, they went into Lethbridge and told Mr. Southard (Lethbridge’s, foremost clothier at that time), thay were from Magrath. Well those two shieks fitted ithemselves out from head to foot and were never seen again North of the 49th parallel. Mrs. Seeley(of the Stirling Hotel 1900) could fry eggs better than any living woman, George went along and we decided to inspect the -poppy field on our way South.
