THE EDITOR OF TEE leTeeTH
Standard took note of our praise
of the local post office . , . and of
the fine paint job it recently re-
ceived , . . He— says, "The News-
Record failed to give credit where
credit was due by ribt mentioning
the fact that Mr. James' Laurie,
Blyth and his assistant Mr. Walter
Buttell were responsible for the
improvement. Jimmie and Walter
did the inside work last winter
and have now completed 'the out-
side work" . . . Our only excuse
for this oversight is that Jimmie
and Walter meet be very rriodeet
sort of boys . , . for the name on'
their truck was so small . . t we
could not read it without getting
so close as to have been thought
nosy , . We figure that if a -fel-
low wanted his name repeated and
known. . . . then he'd shorwh it off
a bit more . . . However the paint
job is a good one . : . ‘and we're
sorry to have omitted 'the good
name. of Blyth from our story . . .

THE STANDARD EDITOR ALSO
notes that" Clinton is turning to
that village for quite a good bit of
man and woman7power . . . Both
a new public school principal and
an assistant teacher are moving to
the 'chub town" this- summer and
now we learn that -Miss Lois'
Grasby, also -of Blyth, has been
engaged as organiSt in the Ontar-
io Street-United Church. .

ently finding opt what we knew all
the time--if you. want the, best,
come to Blyth," and as we• say
here, "If you want a good place to
live and work, come 'to Clineorr. . ."

will centre around financing.
Need of a pool has been felt be
both yogrig and old. Many fuel],
ies travel to .the lake, at Goden.

for washroom and dressing room
facilities at the Park' has. long
been recognized and the proposed
"bath house" in connection with
the pool should fill this need ade-
quately,
Work on the stage addition has
progressed as far as material will
allow at the present time. When
trusses arrive, these will be a,
work party called at the hall, The

Robert McCubbin Speaks
At At Holstein Breeders Picnic
butter was continuing to- go up.
"Consumption of milk in all forms
is on the increase and my fears
are nort.of over-production but of
under-production," said Mr. Mc-
Cubbin.
Mr. McCubbin charged that
packing-plant firms during the
past winter, circulated stories
about importation of United Stat-
es beef cattle in an effort to de-
press the market for Ontario Beef
cattle. "They actonily imported
5,300 head," he said, "but yqu'd
think to hear them that ,it was
50,000 head."
Beef export markets are increas-
ing, Mr. McCubbin asserted, and
at the same time Canadian con-
sumption of beef is on the in-
crease.
Mr. McCubbin was introduced
by A Y. McLean, editor of the
Huron Expositor, Seaforth, and
was thanked by 'Simon, Hallahan,
Blyth, past-president of the Huron
Holstein group. President Bert
Dunn, Bayfield, presided and other
