Never let envy raise its ugly head-someday we will gath- er our energies and our resources and,have a holiday to end all holi- days.

But even for stay-at-homes there is something about it which makes every impression valuable. In June, July and August a beautiful day is only what we expect of the season. This year we have not, had as Many of thep1 as we thought we had a right, to expect _but we took it fairly calmly. We. felt that there was still plenty of time for good weather. No need to hoard every minute and to try to make the -most of it. In September, time is running out, Every fine day, still and per- fect with hot -sunshine and vivid autumn flowers, 1.i" a day filched Srom 'the dark and cold of tip, proaching .winter. The air is, to use a well-worn phrase, like wine. The bees,. still undisturbed, ,are whizzing in and out of their stolen quarters over the workshop, making sure of ample supplies for winter. My kitten has learned to come with a scamper of flying feet at a call of ``Kitty, kitty" although ,,his mothei still considers him a mere baby and furiously chases any dog who dares to show an unwary - :nose about the place. The children are back to school and another year's, work is begin- ning. If I had to pick out one thing wthich personifies this most perfect of seasons,, it would be the enchanting . distant call of, the losigle\ band at the High School, the audible voice of September.

However, there is still room for a good many more scholarships and awards in this school. Here is an extremely good, opportunity for Clinton folk, ex-Clinton people or persons from ss 'the area served by the Clinton Scheol to put forward some money to assure such' an annual award as would be encouraging W.:the students.

This is a really community spirited endeav- our, Everyone on the street, in meetings and, no doubt in, their homes are talking about the Swimming 'pool. Some are discussing ways and means of raising money, otheras are talking about hoW much •they think they can afford, and the younger fry are spending their time dreaming WITH THE RETURN to school of a high percentage of the population this week we are very much aware of the increased costs of edu- cation throughout all levels. Artieles,are written' every year on this suli- jeot, and one recent lit of information which we-gleaned faorn them, is confirmation of some- thing we have suspected for some time. That is that higher education is made available to young folk with money, more than to young folk with brains. Though some scholarships are available, a gopd many of them are for $100 or poo which as anyone will quickly. realize are not much help along the college road: rUnleas more scholarships are made available and unless they are Made larger, then youngsters in ability are in danger of losing an oppor- unity for learning.

Perhaps will be the fault of the railway' itself for .operating with to many paises, too many reduced fares, too little, concentrated advertising of its will and its gecommodation., Perhaps 'it will be the fault of just not enough people living ino•West- ern Ontario, However this last is being remedied each year, as more and more people are moving into this part of the province. The other two, are very big problems. But regardless of whose fault it is, , the fact remains: when and if the railway's service is curtailed ..tO us here, then it will beta distinct loss to the community , NOthing is more restful than a trip by train, whether it be by day, or ,by night. There is a complete lack of responsibility On the part of the traveller for getting to his destination.: He never, for that matter, even sees the front' of the vehicle in which he is travelling, but becomes instead a unit of matter, gradually progreSsing"swith other like units of matter, towards his :goal.

The possibility of getting' a vote Goderich or Huron County with a view to repeal, was under dis- cussion: "My opinion," said the Reeve, "is that if the town voted, it would go wet; but if the whole -County voted it would stay dry, as it is now. Of course", he added, "that's not very dry." Reeve Graham is probably cor- rect in his prediction, but his laugh line is ridiculous. Actually Huron County is very 'dry compar- ed .with Most if not all the other Counties in Ontario. The proof dies in Alcoholics Statistics releas- ed by the Alcoholism Research Foundation of Ontario not long since. • In- a list of seven Counties given, Middlesex leads with 3160 aleOholics per 100,000 of populat- ion.
