PETER, -of the BACK SHOP
Sure, and 'tis the grand and
glorious weather we've been
'having at all,. at all, isn't it
though? That accent reminds
'us of a wee story the wife was
at'thnr tellin' us not so long
ago, Seems there was an Eng-
lishrnan, and an Irishman and
a Scotchman. These three fel-
'ewe each had a mutual friend,
and this mutual friend, you ,
see, was one of much cash,
(Somehow the ones with cash
have many friends, do you not
find it so?).
Well, at any rate, the laddie
with cash was an old,one, and he
wanted to leave a goodly sum to
each of his friends when he pas-
sed on. So to be sure his friends
were the good-hearted fellows he
knew them to be, he told them
that when he died he would leave
them a good bit of cash, if they
would each put ten dollars in his
coffin,
EEE
(The plot thickens here.)
Well, the Englishman was
first to pass by the coffin of
his dead friend, and he was
seen to wipe a tear from his
eye in sorrow for the departed
one, but he dropped in his $10.
The Irishman hesitated a bit,
but the sight of the other ten-
ner was too much, so in went
his to keep it company. Then
along came Sandy himself.
• Now Sandy was a cautions
• man. No more , so than the
reputation of his _countrymen
in general, but naetheless, he
was a carefu' and cautious
man wi' the peenies, so say
nothing of the tenners.
ElEE'
. He approached the coffin of his
old friend with a sorrowful step'
aed much hesitation. He paused
for a good few minutes gazing
down upon the visage of the in-
-Mate the coffin. Ile looked with
•appreciation upon the bills placed
there by the two before him. Fin-
ally he heaved a good deep sigh,
heaved out his wee pocket case,
wrote out a .check for $30, laid .it
reverently within the coffin, and
:.gently removed the tenners re-
clining there. A thoughtful man,
;indeed.
EEE
Now that we have gotten
off an appreciative grin to the
good wife Millicent for her
help in this bit of a column,
we'll get on with a few words
of our own.
O E
We went on a sortie to visit
Library Park on Tuesday to find
that the good men of the public
works department were giving the
place a really good going over.
Sure and it needed it, but now the
whole spot Iooks a good bit bet-
ter. We understand the folks in
the front office have received a
bit more information about the
Sidney Smith, in whose honour the
fountain was erected. Now the
gen' seems complete except for the
date it was put up there, Any-
how the bird on top will be having
a rest until spring when the pro-
cess of tidying and turning on the
water will make for a dandy
shower bath again.
Cl E
Matters in the Back Shop
are going forward with great
speed lately. The Men seem
hardly to have time anymore
to even shove a mouse out of
their way. Christmas Cards
are the thing, and orders for
them are coming in regularly.
Just a tip from. this mouse, If
you haven't ordered yours yet,
don't leave it much longer, It's
only 27 more shopping days
until Christmas, or haven't
you counted them lately?
E ( E
And another thing. We've been
trying to get Millicent to run for
Council or School Board or some
such office this fall, There seems
to be a lack of feminine logic in
some of the actions of the august
boards of the town of Clinton. But
Millicent seems to be quite happy
to sit at home and dust the floors
and worryabout the tax bill when
it comes due and nothing can be
done about it, Seems to me,
though, that they say that it's the
ladies that spend most'' of the
money earned in the country, and
you'd think that they'd be inter-
ested in just how Clinton spends
tax money, too, wouldn't you? Oh,
well, if no ladies are nominated on
Friday night, it must be that they
really feel that the fellows are
not doing so badly with financing,
eh what?

Presbyterian WA
Plan for Christmas
The Woman's Association of St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church
held its November meeting at the
home of Mrs. Ed. Farquhar on
Tuesday, November 10, with the
president, Mrs. W. Shaddock in
the chair, and a fine attendance,
The president read the 100th
Psalm and the society joined in
The Lord's Prayer.
The secretary, Miss P. McPher-
son and the treasurer, Mrs. R. L.
McEwen, gave their reports. The
latter one included a donation of
$150 to the anniversary offering.
Plans were made for the Decem-
ber meeting at the home of Mrs.
M. D. McTaggart, which will be
the Christmas meeting with a pot
luck supper.
Arrangements were made to cat-
er to the executive of the Pres-
byterial WMS at its January
meeting.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. George Gawley, after two
short papers on Remembrance
Day were read by Mrs. Farquhar
and Mrs. D. J. Lane.
Auditorium Here Will Be Scene of Commencement
Next week, on Thursday and
Friday, the students of Clinton
District Collegiate Institute will
be presenting their annual Com-
mencement program in the aud-
itorium of the collegiate, The
young people, from Clinton,
Stanley, Hullett, Tuckersmith,
East Wawanosh, Howick, and
Goderich Townships, are nvit-
ing their parents and friends to
come to see and hear their pro-
gram.
In addition to tumbling acts,
and dancing, there promises to
be two short plays this year in-
stead of the customary three -
act play, and presentation of
athletic awards and academic
awards also will be made.
Because of the shortage of
seating space in the auditorium,
the Commencement is being held
on two nights, and even at that
it is quite probable that all those
who wish to attend will not find
tickets available, The students
are selling tickets now.
Study Of Literacy In . The World
Made by Wesley -Willis Church WMS

heard details about illiteracy in
the world. "Two-thirds of the
world's population is still unable
to read or write. The total num-
ber of illiterates in the world, as
well as the percentage of illiter-
ates is still rising. Much stress is
being laid on the reading of relig-
ious books."
In the absence of Mrs. McLaren,
Mrs. Shepherd presided for the
worship service which was based
on the theme, "The church, the
body of Christ." She was assisted
by Mrs. H. C. Wilson, who read
the scripture lesson, and the presi-
dent, Mrs. Shepherd offered pray-
er. Mrs. Hearn was at the piano.
The meeting was opened with
the singing of the hymn, "0 God,
whose daylight leadeth downinto
the sunless way," followed by the
reading in unison of a prayer
hymn. Reports were received and
business discussed. A' nominating
committee consisting of Mrs, J. A.
Sutter, Mrs. Hearn and Miss Stone
was appointed „to bring in the pro-
posed slate of officers for 1954.
Miss Stone and Mrs. Addison
made reports on the Centre Sec-
tion meeting held in Moncrieff.
Mrs. Epps read a. letter from her
grandson who is in Holland. Mrs.
George Beattie invited members of
the WMS to hold their Christmas

COMMENCEMENT

too strongly upon you the fact
that CACI commencement has al-
ways been an outstanding per-
formance. A gratifying evening's
entertainment has always been at
hand for the audience. This year's
performance we assure you, will
be no letdown and will probably
eclipse former shows.
For your entertainment we are
presenting, instead of the usual
single play, two excellent ones.
As in former years there is the
presentation of academic diplomas
and athletic awards, the tumbling
antics of the gym teams, the sing-
ing of the choir and dancing of
graceful girls.
Commencement will be held on
the 26th and 27th of this month
and tickets will be far sale direct -

Tickets are exchangeable for re-
served seats at McEwan's book

played a good game but came out
on the bottom end of a 17-11
score,
Mitchell had won the first game
of the two -game total -point series
in Clinton on Tuesday by the
score of 24-11, thus taking the
round 41-22.
Clinton came to life early in the
first quarter when Weymouth, on
a long pass went over for the
first touchdown. The convert was
eppjled by a Mitchell catch.
