For those of us who are not
taking a holiday trip ,this year,
the next best thing is to hear
about Someone else's marvellous
vacation. 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. Into it will go a purity of
planning and a concentration of
funds which will make it echo
down through the years as the
one vacation that can never be
equalled,

will have' to enjoy listening to
the rhapsodies of other travellers
and make.careful note of the
point's that appeal to us. o
I have greatly enjoyed the writ-
ings of J. Burke Martin in the
London Free Press concerning his
trip to Britain. Now there is a
man who knows his way around
and, how to tell about it entertain-
ingly! He Ticks out just the

The story of the publishing of a
daily paper on board ship was
fascinating to me. The driving of
a little English_ yauxhall from
London to Edinburgh after_ only
two blocks instruction ih right-
hand driving was even more so.
Not that I do much driving- from
either the left or right but that
makes it all the better. I am a
little weary of the 'things I am' in
the habit of doing.
The articles by the same writer
concerning the Edinburgh 'Festival

* 4 * • ' September; to my mind, is thp
perfect month for a holiday. 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.

fOr the dearth of Scholarships' which originate
from Clinton, Students at CDCI axe tamed for
winning awards, and generally rack• up an Im-
presSive list of prizes for themselves,' This
is' due to the hard work of the teachers at

thernseives. 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.
MCI has• only one such, and that is the Sir

award of $50 to the student in Grade 13 having
the highest 'marks in any nine subjects including

WITH THE RETURN to school of a high

very much aware of the increased costs of edu-
cation throughout all levels.
Artieles,are written' every year on this suli-

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

remedied each year, as more and more people

fact remains: when and if the railway's service
is curtailed ..tO us here, then it will beta distinct
loss to the community ,

Reeve John Graham of Goderich
hit the headlines recently. At a
meeting of the Goderich Town
Council he gave his views on the
Canada Temperance Act. 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

this amount fell during the week

"With rainfall almost eery day

to cut or swath some of :the stand-

grain which is uncut, has been so

it has developed a second growth.
"Fine weather is needed im-

"On the other hand crops such
as grain and Silage corn, sugar

The Bible Today
years later this language had the •

In 1819 the GOVV171101" of Cape
Breton stated that he knew of set-
tlers from the Highlands of Scot-
land travelling from 80 to 100
miles to obtain a Bible in.. Gaelic.
Canada has welcomed immig-
rants to its shores- across the
years' in increasing numbers and
from increasing points of the corn • -
pass. Today all 'of these, people
find 'the Bible available here in a
language they can understand. It
is ironical that the language an
which the first portion of it was
printed expressly for Canada's
original inhabitants is now out of
print; one' copy Only of St. John's,
Gospel in Mohawk is known to
exist. Descendants of this Six
Nations ,trible now use English
almost exclusively.
