Hydro electric is winning against all combinations and is snaking headway everywhere. Votes in various counties have given Hydro tremendous major- ity.

Death rates rom tuberculosis in India today are as high or higher than in Canada at the begin- ning of the century. Members of the Tuber- culosis Association in India, however, take courage from the progress made in. such coun- tries as Canada during the last number of years. They hope to make similar gains by their campaigns against it. India's Tuberculosis Seal Sale continues until January 2, the anniversary of the day on which India became an independent nation and one calculated to remind each citizen of his duty to his country, Canada's sale continues until Christmas, the anniversary of the birth of Christ, and is calculated to inspire each Canadian to care for the unfortunate tuberculosis patient and, if possible to prevent tuberculosis entirely.

Mr. Loren Tyndall met with an accident on. Saturday from which he escaped very fortunat- ely, receiving two cracked ribs and bruises when his car over- turned into a ditch as he was driving along the Bronson Line. Mr. Tyndall was imprisoned in the vehicle until extricated by Mr. and Mrs. Congo, near whose home the accident happened. Mr. Tyndall feels that he escaped al- most miraculously from very ser- ious injury or instant death. The car which was towed to Clinton is almost a complete wreck. (By I), J. Lane) SEALS BEARING the double cross ap- peared on letters and parcels in New Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and elsewhere in India on October 1, the birthday of Gandhi. In a country where all the great religions of the world have thousands of followers, it would be tactless to single out the great festival of any- one of them, for a crusade which needs the help of all. Looking for a date, which would invoke the charity of all, and would inspire India's people to forget their differences and think only of the good of their fellows, the Indian Tuberculosis Association chose the date of Gandhi's, birthday. The universal esteem in which Gandhi was held in all India, made his birth date a day which was considered an ideal time to forget differences, and to unite in the common good.

In the air we don't mind it, because we're below it, but when it's on the ground our short legs have a good bit of difficulty navigating at all. Give us Florida weather like we have in Canada all sum- mer. These windy days with the snow pelting into piles, give us but one thought, and that is to run lickety-split back under the covers and stay there like a brown * bear, until spring. However, the weather is not such a great detriment to a wee mouse who has such a warm spot `as the Clinton News-Record back shop to rest in. And we do of course sneak into the front office at times, especially when the ladies are not there. Do you know, they're just a bit frighten- ed of us. We don't know why. We've never done anything ex- cept to peer curiously at them from under the desk, or from beneath a pile of papers. Strange how our friendly gave can make them scurry about for help. * * Well, anyway, this newspaper business is not all its cracked up to be by any means. You will remember the story of George McCullagh, the man who grew from a paper-boy in the city of London to be the owner of The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Telegram. At the time of his death this sum- mer, his estates were worth $4,624,749. "Whoops," you say. "His family will be able to live like royalty for the rest of their days, with nary a trouble in the world." Bot do you know, succession duties amount- ed to more than $2,000,000. That leaves a little under three million dollars, and what with taxes, income and otherwise, anyone in Canada to-day with ,' that much money is apt to see a lot of it disappearing with- out a great deal of the folding stuff coming into the old pair of jeans behind the cupboard door, This folks, is the latest find in the office waste-basket. A frag- ment, which probably could be compared to the Unfinished Symphony or even with the re- nowned Rubaiyat. We take the liberty of quoting it in full: * * "News item: T.V. in barns in- creases milk production. Turn on the milker and pitch the hay, Bed the cows clOwn for anoth- er day, Tune in the program that they like best; • (Somethin' nice an soothin' so they can res d t). Close all the doors in the barn up tight, (Cows couldn't see for neigh- bours last night); Don't get a Western or you'll . be in dutch, (Shootin' and ashoutin' •doesn't soothe 'em much).

I wonder what sort of by-product could be de- veloped from the common rodent, which would let us in for some of this super treatment. As yet we have received nothing from People except when it was to disguise a trap of some sort. Please forgive us, all you cheese, apple and radish contributors.

It was said long ago by a very competent author- ity that whoever is not for the good cause is against it. This is a very important matter in a de- mocracy where the theory is that people govern themselves. This places on them the responsibility of thinking for themselves. It alai) places on them. the respons- ibility of making their convictions articulate'. This boils down to the simple matter of saying yes-or-no on 'every issue. (One of our live Huron County issues is the traf- fic in alcoholic beverages). There are some who would say—yes, concerning the inroads of this traffic. There are many who would say no, if 'they would just break through their ban of sil- ence and inertia. More al/omen saying no, in their homes and at their parties—more men saying no, in their clubs and in their municipal and county councils, that's how public opinion is creat- ed. In a democracy it is this pub- lic opinion that is the determining factor. Certainly the harm done by the liquor traffic is not some- * think to be silent about.

This article was written as imaginative narration from the topic sentence "With Spinning Head I Crawl to my Feet." The author is a Grade XII student from CDCI. With spinning head I crawl to my feet. It is the third day- - yes, and the third day without sustenance. No matter what direction I seek hope, there is none. There is nothing but the misty blue of the sky blended with the deep blue of the ocean.. The horizon was just visible, but now I cannot distinguish the dif- ference between the two. I crawl to my feet. Why? To go on another futile attempt to find nourishment on this infini- tisemal island, barren rock im- pregnable to germination of any kind. Three days now I have been waiting. Waiting for what! I am doom- ed. I am waiting for death to take me through the barriers of the unknown. Scared? Well, yes and no. The first day I was ter- rorized beyond realization of what I was doing. The second day I took stock of the situation and faced its reality. Today, I wait. I have no hope. There is nothing with which to signal help. Soon the night will engulf me on this small Pacific island. It will be a bitter cold night, like last night and the night before, chilling me to my bones, making me wish I were dead; and then another day. It will be like today, like yesterday, like always, the unbearable heat of the sun al- most driving me insane, burning my parched body Until I can scream, Yes, I will be here if you should be unfortunate enough to come upon this island. Y`ou may not see me but I will be here. I leave this inscription sfor you . I knew you would find it scratched on the bottom side of this rock.
