Aays left until Christmas,, and. the aching arches
of many a salesclerk in town make them per-
fectly • aware., of the fact, Many shoppers who
leave the last minute details till the very last,
are now "checking the list" with a fever of
worry,'. find are rushing out to make those im-
portant Christmas purchases,
Stores in Clinton are still able to offer a
wide selection of gifts in all lines, for all mem-
bers of the. family, but the picture is changing
rapidly, In no time at all, the shelves will be-

Wedged in between those four shopping
days, however, is another day, the weekly "day
of rest," This coming Sunday is more than just
another Sunday, however, In most churches it
is the time for special music, special sermons,
speolal feelings in the hearts of the congrega-
tion,
We should make it a time to ready our-
selves for the• essential part of Christmas and
remember tbat Christ is that essential part.

BABY-SITT1NG- HAS become virtually a
profession. It is so popular that a booklet on
thesubject produced by the Ontario. Government
has' become a best-seller. The booklet is now
in its third printing and, .the Deputy Welfare
Minister has received a request from a Holly-
wood film producers for permission to use the
material as the basis for a movie on baby sitting,
remarks ISaturday Night," and further sol-
iloquizing pointS out facts, which while not pleas-
ant are sometimes' and too often only too true.
'The rapid postwar growth of baby-sitting
gives a revealing insight into our North .Ameri-
can society. It is ,fashionable to have children—
families are, larger now than they have been for
many years. Rut, while pregnancy may be popu-
lar, the dreary business or looking after the
child'once it is born is not. The babe must not
be permitted to interfere with the parents' soc-
ial "obligations"—the party where the right peo-
ple .can be met, the dinner that the boss makes
AUTOMATION
(Christian Science Monitor)
JUST BECAUSE you are on the move, don't
be too sure that you are not being appraised by
some kind K-,vf "seeing eye." The wonders of auto-
mation are only beginning.
One of the large aeronautical companies
describes in an advertisement a "nuclear den-
sity guage" which can weigh liquid or semi-
liquid materials while they flow through a pipe.
An inventor displays an electronic machine
designed to make change for dollar bills—which,
of course, includes rejecting any counterfeit bill,
foreign money, or bill, of the wrong denomina-
tion though the paper be crumpled, or ragged.
BABY PR
FOR HUMANS?
Such devices seem most readily adapted, of
course, to dealing with inanimate materials. 13ut,
will the time come when they can make some,
sort of -rough appraisals of human beings too?
For instance, the electric eYe might omit to open
the door for the shopper who is "merely looking"
or the small boy who is apt to cause a distur-
banee in the movie theatre.
What the supermarkets most need at the
moment, apparently, is some kind of radar that
will detect when a patron is' pushing one of those
rolling baskets beyond the confines of the park-
ing lot and will yell, "Hey, come back with that
cart!"

It is little wonder ,that there has been a
breakdown in Child discipline. Parents seem to
" think that their obligation ends once they have
co-operated to produce the children, who must
then' be handed over to teachers, baby-sitters
and recreation directors.
These people are not parents at all. They
are simply fertilizers and hatehers, with all the
social responsibility of cowbirds.
EditoPs note: We do not wholeheartedly
agree with the opinion herein expressed, but we
pOlished it with the idea in mind that you
might appreciate the worth of it, if baby-sitting
be carried to excess. We hardly believe it pos-
sible here in our rural area, but hi highly built-

by, certainty the Method of caring for children
might be just" this serious,
CLINTON .N.HWS-CRECORD
40 Years Ago
Clinton New Era.
Thvoo4y, December 30, 1917
Members of the Women's Patrio-
tic .Society are planning a sock
contest, .With the north 614 of the
town pitted, against the south half,
Obdective is 500 socks.
John Mustard received a car
load of coal and it is 'being dealt
out to customers in half ton lots,
Fence .posts are being sold readily,
and Charles. Penfound shipped a
carload of fence rails to Goderieh.
The WCTU is planning a silver
thimble and trinket day, when all
sorts of items will, be collected,
Eventually they will be melted
down and funds so raised will be
used to publish a leaflet to distri-
bute among the soldiers overseas,
and to buy harmless drinks' for
the boys. Objective of the fund is
$25,000.
As of December 17, only '$850 in
taxes remain unpaid in town.
An Indisputable
Fact
"It is an indisputable' fact that
the more types of outlets the
greater the total consumption."
We quote Premier Manning of Al-
berta. He added, "We have to
face the fact that the net result
of the alcoholic' beverages is to
the detriment of society."
In Ontario we know well the
Truth of Ms statement, In spite of
this truth however, wet victories
are due as much to indifference on
the part of voters• as to anything
else. The liquor interests know the
obvious truth quoted. That ex-
plains their continuous campaign
to open up new outlets.
One of the greatest triumphs
this year has been the vote in Kit-
chener. Ten additional liquor out-
lets were opened as a result of the
wet vote, That city of only 60,000
population now has 47 legal liquor
outlets.
One close observer of the vote in
'Kitchener and elsewhere ,has de-
clared that there actually seems
to be a decreasing interest on the
part of Church people in opposing
further licensing. If true, surely
this is deplorable.
