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, El El El DeAr PeTeR- My mistreSs neVer seEms to hAve tiMe to wRrite yoU,. so I be- CaMe vErY impAtient This mOrn- ing and deCideD i HaD betTer geT buSy mySelf.

O El There, Tow isn't that a catty letter if tI ere ever was one? O 00 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.

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." MARTINS DEPT.. Cii14011. 1p11O/43E1S: VAT -+- 36W 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. CONSTANCE Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Riley and family, Kitchener, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Riley. Friends in Constance sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pethick in their sad bereavement. We are pleased to report George Leitch is home from the hospital; we wish him a speedy recovery.
