PETER.,±,he BACK SHOP
Well what do you know? We
got a letter last week? A real
honest -to -goodness letter fiom an
almost -acquaintance . , in fact
the chappie who wrote it actually
lived in Clinton for :a time. But-
tons is his name. Of course you
remember the Delhi cat of which
we told some weeks ago now in
this column. Well, he's written us
a letter, and we're pleased to pub-
lish it for your enjoyment.
ooa
Of course his typing hand
could be improved quite a bit.
We doubt that he'd receive A's
in any business college Course.
But his heart is in the right
place, and he likes Clinton. That
makes up for a multitude of
other possible drawbacks, We
regret only that we cannot re-
produce his foot -p r i n t with
which the letter was signed,

One other thing we must men-
tion, and that is that there are
only 11 more shopping days until
Christmas. Sure, and we know
there has not been much in the
way of snow to provide the leg-
endary white Christmas. But the
days are growing shorter. Soon it
will be the shortest day of the
year, and then just four days later
Santa Claus will be making his
rounds. Right now is your Iast
chance to do your shopping "early"
and avoid those last minute rush

• Price alone is a poor yardstick, It is unwise to pay too p
much, but it is worse to pay too little, When. you pay too
much you lose a little money - that's all; but when you
pay too little you sonietirnes lose everything because . the
thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought
to do. The common law of business balande prohibits paying
a little and getting a lot. It can't be done. If you deal
with the lowest bidder, it is Well to add something for the
risk you run, and if you do that you have enough money
to "Buy Quality."

With . the Farm Forums
FIRESIDE FORUM
(By Mrs. d, R. Tebbutt)
The home of Mr, and Mrs, Oliver
Anderson was the meeting place
for the Fireside Farm Forum on
December 7 with 20 members at-
tending. Discussion for the even-
ing was on Citizens of Tomor-
row.
It is the opinion of this forum
that young people who were for-
mer members of 441 clubs and
junior farmer organizations do be-
come leaders in community and
former organizations, Successful
farmers should try to be of help to
these organizations and give the
young people a helping hand in
any waythey can, such as shar-
ing the benefits of their exper-
ience. Young people's interest, we
think, could be stimulated in pub-
lic affairs and international rela-
tions by joining a Farm Forum in
their district, listening to world
affairs on radio, reading news-
papers and and isc discussing their find-
ings with parents, leaders, and
teachers. The current events which
are taken up in school each morn-
ing are very helpful, as are the
debates and discussions held by
4-11 clubs and junior farmer or-
ganizations.
After thoroughly discussing the
topic for the evening, recreation
was held in the form of a euchre
game, prizes being taken by the
following; • ladies' most games,
Mrs. Robert Dalton; lone hands,
Mrs. Robert Jamieson; men, most
games and lone hands, Bert Hog-
gart; consolation prizes went to
Mrs. Robert Jamieson and Harvey
Taylor.
Lunch was served and the mem-
bers returned home, to meet again
next week at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George Carter.
purchases. By the way, do your
shopping in Clinton, The stores
are lovely, with bright Christmas
ware.
S,S. 4 F'ORUM
(By Mrs. I. Merrill)
The S.S. No. 4 .Farm Forum, met
on Monday night at the home of
Mr, and Mrs, Leslie Pearson..
There were 12 members present.
The topic for discussion was "Citi.
zens of Tomorrow."
It was decided that 4.11 clubs
In our community have not been
in existence long enough to reap
the benefits of its education by
producing leaders, but we believe
that over the province, as a whole,
these clubs have produced leaders
and brought out hidden talents in
many young boys and girls, which
might not otherwise have had a
chance to become developed. We
think that being a good farmer is
not enough. Good citizens should
definitely take part in community
organizations. A person in any
occupation, whether he be a far-
mer, or in any other occupation,
is he cannot see farther than his
own work, becomes very narrow
minded and takes no interest in
anything constructive with regard
to his neighbourhood.
We consider it the duty of the
parents to be more interested in
public affairs and to give the
young people a chance to attend
their .4-H club, and other public
meetings. We thing they should
be brought to a realization of
their responsibilities gradually
first by the 4-11 club, then in the
junior farmers, and by the time
they reach membership in the
Federation of Agriculture they
have cultivated a keen interest in
public affairs and international re-
lations.
Following the discussion, games
of "500" and "Lost Heir" were
played, and lunch was served. The
next meeting will be at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Jones.
PORTER'S HILL
Mrs. Gordon Liscombe was hos-
tess for the annual meeting of the
Woman's Association of Grace
Church on Wednesday, December
2, with a good attendance. The
president, Mrs. Donald Harris was
in .charge of the meeting which
opened with singing Christmas
carols after, which Mrs, Liscombe
offered prayer, The scripture les-
son was read by Mrs. Peter gar-
rison and roll call was answered
with an exchange of Christmas
gifts.
The usual secretary and treasur-
er's reports wereg iven and also a
full report of the year's work. It
was decided to give a donation to
the officers of the church and also
to the M & M Fund,
A committee, Mrs, Wilmer gar-
rison and Mrs, Reid Torrance were
appointed to get prices on dishes
that were to be purchased for the
church after the first of the year.
A crib quilt was quilted during
the afternoon bringing the total
number of crib .quilts made in the
past year to 14.
Mrs. Austin Harris, a past presi-
dent, conducted election of officers
for 1954 which resulted as follows:
president, Mrs. John McCowan;
vice-president, Mrs. Argyle Lock-
hart; secretary -treasurer, Mrs,
Peter Harrison; assistant secret-
ary -treasurer, Mrs. Alvin Betties;
pianist, Mrs. William Cox; assist-
ant, Mrs. William Cox; sick and
visiting committee, Mrs. William
Townshend and Mrs. Gordon Man-
ning; work committee, Mrs. Reid
Torrance, Mrs. D. McDougall, Mrs.
Allen Bettles and Mrs, Donald
Harris.
The meeting closed with the
Mizpah benediction and the host-
ess served a tasty lunch.
