H. & B. The morning train fo London leaves about fifteen min- txtes earlier and this train connects nt Lucan Crossing with the Toronto train and, at Hyde Paris with the ’Windsor train. There is^no change- In time of the morning 'train from London. The evening trains are ■ a few minutes earlier. - Following is the table: Going South, , To the newly-elected members of the Council and to the chos^ en representatives‘of the people on the Board of Education’ TJie Times-Advocate extends hearty congratulations. In both instances these mea are chosen for service, for achievement in behalf of the public whom they obligate themselves to serve. ■ ■ It is up to the people therefore to stand squarely behind the moa they have selected, Let them so stand when their representa­ tives do the right thing. Let them be unsparing but fair in their criticisn^ of them when they do the wrong thing. It is all a matter of public business and the serving of the public interest is the one thing required. No one is asking for perfection. What all are asking is a fine display of good sense, There are a score and more of things to be done in this good town that never will be done hy chaii* warmers and talk artists. Our school requires all the boost­ ing and attention that tlie board can give it. To rest content with present conditions is for Exeter to turn its face towards decline. A town and a school are like a man on a bicycle. They must move forward or moveoff. The time for talking is past. The time for vigorous, intelligent, action is overdue. As the old order changes and new men take their places on the boards, the people of Exetei* remember with gratitude tlie fine work done by the men who are retiring from office. The services these men have rendered, has been noted and appreciated by the citizens who know real worth and value time and stength expended unsel­ fishly and for the benefit of the town. WINTER.X.

Toronto; Jan. 8.- annual meeting of the Bank of Commerce today, Aird, in his presidential predicted, unless Canada profit by the warnings of experience lie saw no reason, why tlie prosperity •of 1929 should not equal or surpass that of 192.8. He.. coupled’ this, however, with the observation that pulp and paper overproduction was the “dark spot on the horizon of the business situation” and. a warning that banks and financial houses should do all. in their power to “re- . strain the speculative tendency within reasonable bounds.” As evidence of the prosperity of the Dominion, Sir John referred to Canada’s large development of for­ est, mineral and waterpower re­ sources during the past year, and her favorable balance of trade, which amounted to an excess of ex­ ports over imports of more than §141,000,000 at the end of the fis- •c^[ year, March 31st. Sir John regarded it as satisfac­ tory to see that Premier Ferguson cf Ontario and Premier Taschereau. of Quebec had moved promptly to seek a remedy and express hope for satisfactory results in the pulp and paper situation. In warning against over-specula­ tion,. Sir John said it was well to re­ member that a rise in stock prices did not in itself increase the wealth of a .country. Among other tilings Sir John ob­ served that Loudon was in a fair way to re-gaining pre-eminence as an international financial centre; ’that the proposed St. Lawrence wa­ terways project would add immense­ ly to the population and prosperity; expressed hope that an early and satisfactory solution of the difficul­ ty of determining the medical fit- mess of British emigrants before em­ barkation would be-found; saw great possibilities in tlie Canada-West In­ dies trade relations following the in­ auguration of the Canadian National Railways new steamship service; and saw a great help in securing the peace of the world, if friendly rela­ tions between Great Britain and So- ■Addressing the Canadian Sir John address, failed to Yes, winter lias come. There’s no mistake about it. Last Saturday afternoon and night we were congratulating ourselves that winter was going to pass us by. We were, in fact, pitying the-poor " unfortunates who had departed for California or Florida while we were enjoying tie balmy days of South Huron. We saw our way clear to getting through the winter by the aid of last year’s over­ coat and were mildly suggesting to ouselves that madam might patch up our undies so that we could pass by th© displays so at­ tractively exhibited by our merchants with a complacent sense that such wiles had no claims on our attention. We even went so far as to look over our straw hat, laid aside because there was an R in the spelling of the month’s name rather than on account of any chilliness in the atmosphere. ,We went to our beds on Saturday night listening to the swish of the rain; to the gentle blowing of the wind-. But Sunday morning! Scat my! Winter had come with a vigor showing that his long, rest had put life and mettle in his heels without in any way softening ’his temper. Up and across the concession lines he rushed and howled in a very frenzy of triumph. He found his way into the byres and caused the cows to. fall off in their yield of milk. He invaded, the coal cellars and kept -us work­ ing all day to feed th§‘ hungry stomach of the furnace without add­ ing one whit to the monster’s vitality. Into the homes of grave and matronly church members came this lusty wintry weather caus­ ing the most reliable pew,warmers to huddle over the registers and to meditate in private. Only the" doctors and nurses were abroad, the influenza saw to that. Here and there the ’making their calls’ reminding us that the grim distinction of time or of weather for making his Yes, winter has come, and while its snow is welcomed by the children for their winter sports, it is not so welcome in the houses ’ of the poor. Britain’s 2,000,000. workless ones shiver at his cruel breath, and tens of thousands of. fojk. whose coal bins ^r.e.jtione.. too,.', full are wondering, what is to be done between now and the first). - of May. Let us hope that the fierce coldness of the early days of this week may be all that we’ll suffex' from the icy touch of father Winter. i THE LATE MRS.
