Who Owns The Memorial Cairns ?
Enjoy Hunting BUT Obey The Game Laws
IN THE MARSH AREAS of the Huron
District it sounded like a small battle on the
opening of the duck season, Saturday, October
4. Young "'and old were out in force, and
while a good many ducks were shot, the
usual number of hunters must have imagined
they were using anti-aircraft guns at the dist-
ance they were trying to bring the ducks
down out of the sky.
Some hunters shot by the light of the
moon after the time limit was up and when
this occurs officers are prepared to lay charges.
Surely half hour before sunrise and half hour
after sunset is early and late enough to shoot
ducks or any other animal in season. On Oc-
tober 4 the sun rose at 6,18 a.m. and set at
5.54 p.m. Each day the run rises later and
sets earlier until late in December, so be wise
Mr. Hunter and obey the time limit laws,
otherwise your firearm may find itself laying
ing the vault at Toronto to be sold at a later
date. Fines run from $10 up on each offence
and bargains don't appear on Court day.

PAPS voro etmoll NNW$-REVORP l'ffURSPAY, -OCTQP44 n .1004.
(By R. 3 Deachman)
CRIME DOESN'T PAY! Every little while
a story breaks in the daily papers telling of
a big robbery, tens of thousands of dollars
scooped up by the gang. The robbers escape
with the loot. There are vague hints about
the direction they have taken. This is fol-
lowed by two or three hot stories. They are
here, there and everywhere. They have been
seen, in the wheat field of Alberta, they are
in Montreal. Then a cry goes up: "Where
are the police, how did the robbers get away
so far?"
We have the answer in the dailies of
September 17, "Two policemen capture the
Boyd gang. Not one shot was fired. The
desperadoes had the guns but they didn't use
them," The fact is that the chase had been
so hot that they hadn't time to think, besides
robbers of this type are generally cowards.
They paint pictures on the troubled fields of
their imagination. They will loot a bank, load
up with the money, get out of the country,
escape to some foreign country and live the
life of Riley.
It doesn't work out that way! In the
first place the number of robberies — big
scale — is rather limited. They have no
sympathy, no support. The police are rather
well organized. They are nation-wide. The
(By
THIS WAS THE SIXTY-FOUR dollar
question arising out of a discussion at the
recent meeting of Clinton Town Council.
Alderman C. W, Draper brooched it with
reference to the cairn standing on the grounds
of St. Paul's Anglican Church. The cairn is
in need of some necessary "pointing up," in
order to present a neat and tidy appearance.
A number of these, stone structures have
been erected in various places round about
Clinton and other sections of Western Ontario,
owned by the once-famous, or infamous Can-
ada Land Company, a company which obtained
a large tract of land bordering along Lake
Huron, by charter, from the Crown. More
than 1,000,000 acres were involved in the
charter rights of the company and included
large parts of Huron, Lambton, Perth and
smaller parts of adjoining counties in Ontario,
all of which is set out in detail., together
with other historical facts in a large and rare
book, entitled "In the Days of the Canada
Company."
The intention of the Cairns, erected some
Crime Doesn't Pay
D. J. Lane)
years ago, was to mark, as a memorial, the
area of land once under the ownership of this
Company, because of the historic value, with
reference to this part of the Province,
• The matter of the upkeep and repair of
these Cairns arises with the question of owner-
ship. It is toebe expected that they were
erected by interested persons to be kept as a
perpetual memorial, and that duty necessarily
will fall on someone's shoulders, Whose task
this -is, depends largely on the answer to our
title question,
Not long ago one of these cairns, south
of Clinton, was in need of repair, and was
renewed, in part, by a private citizen.
The fact that most of the cairns erected
are on the public highways, advances another
idea, for the party or parties erecting them
,there, must have had permission to do so, one
would imagine. Who gave that authority and
under what conditions? Was there any agree-
ment made at the time for future needs?
I Who can enlighten us on any of these
matters?
public is on the side of the police, the criminal
has no friends. Crime today is poorly paid
business only fools or mad men try it. Crime
with violence is the worst of all — that is
from the monetory standpoint. The whole
atmosphere has changed. Years ago mothers
scared their refractory children by threaten-
ing to turn them over to.the police; now the
children are taught to trust the police, regard
the men in uniform as friends. The lost child
turns to the policeman if he feels lost and
the big policeman takes the fear out of the
mind of the child, gives him a hand, steers
him on the right road. •
A good police force is 'the sign of a
sound democracy. The police are always on
duty, no graft, Iife to them is often a multitude
of little things, Then a big event, a vivid
life for a few days, then back to normal.
There comes at intervals a call for the police,
a real trouble spot. Outfits like, the Boyd
gang get what's coming to them, they pass
from memory. Again the police are on
guard—all's quiet. Fewer and fewer criminals
take the risk. Crime in Canada doesn't pay.
There were dreams of wealth and sunny days
only to end in gaol. The debt to society must,
in the end, be met and the police, small in
number but efficient, go on with the work of
the day or night.

This gentleman courageous-
ly defies those Cat-y people
who are forever extolling the
virtues of tabby and tells
them. point-blank, that he
favours National Mouse
Week, which coincides with
the Cat Week. Sponsors of
NMW are urging all house-
holders to place a small
cheese in front of every
mousehole, and are planning
a catchy slogan such as "Not
a Hungry Mouse in the
House" or "Don't be a Louse,
Be Kind to Your Mouse!"
Cl E
"Mayor Lamport is being ap-
proached on the idea of releasing
,a pair of mice on the City Hall
Steps to open NMW. There is also
a suggestion that a race be held
between a mouse entered by
Mayor Lamport and one entered
by Mayor Charlotte Whitton of
Ottawa. If Mayor Lamport's
mouse wins, he will be awarded
a kiss from Ava Gardner, if
Mayer Whitton's mouse wins, her
mouse will be taken back to Ot-,
tawa and presented to Prime
Minister Louis St. Laurent as A
symbolic token of esteem from
the taxpayers,
I:1 "The spoosE
ors of NMW take the view that no country is
stronger than its mice. Rouse-
holders are urged to keep their
traps shut during NMW and to
refrain from melting more noise
than necessary while moving
about the room, It is pointed out
that if families were quieter, they
would have more mice.
C:l "It is conservatively estimated
that in Canada today there are
4,800,785,090 mice. And yet, this
huge national resource is not in-
exhaustable. Unless something is
done to control the depradations
of eats, this figure may well be
down to 4,890,785',089 mice by the
end of the year. Multiply this
by the number of rent days in
the year and the total reaches
startling proportions.
"I, for one, woCl

this is supposed to be a demo-
cratic country, whether you're a
man or a mouse. And us sup- -

break, In other words, we intend
to speak for those who can only
squeak for themselves. •

if Cleopatra, the sleek Siam-

exhultation, and planning for
