BEYOND ALL PRAISE
The heroism of the linemen of the telephone and tele -graph
and Hydro companies who so successfully kept open communica-

of gratitude and approval are the postmen and local-dellvellit'aiiiii"'"-
Who remained on duty with such praise -worthy steadfastness. No
bands playas those men return troll their arduous labor; a task
that vies with the hardest toil for sheer endurance, yet were they
to fail, many a home would be•anxious and fearful regarding. the
condition of absent friends. The heroes of peace •deserve well of
those whom they serve so devotedly and acceptably.

THE STORM
That storm came at an inopportune time end behaved" very,.
badly. It made school -going for the youngsters a prolonged mis-
ery. It interfered sadly with Christmas concerts. It isolated farm
houses,at successfully as if these were the days before Columbus dis-
covered America. It made the homecoming of students and the
teachers difficult and dangerous. It interfered with. Christmas
business. It lessened the giving powers of the liberal. It found
its unwelcome way beneath the none -to -Warm clothing of the poor.
But storms,. Of one sort or another, are part of our existence.
Like -all of ilieki-ud, last winter's storm blew itself out and left us
grateful that we had plenty ,of food and clothing and shelter. '
The heavy Toads have served to show scores of folk the excel-
lent bargains afforded by this good town. Fortunately, our mer-
chants exercised their usual sagacity in purchasing dainty and use-
ful goods that are attractive and serviceable not only during the
Christmas week but the whole year through. Many real bargains
are now being offered in Exeter.

BOARD OF TRADE GETTING RESULTS
(Parkhill Gazette) •
Perhaps our idea of the duties of a Board of Trade needs re-
vising, When we mention "Tito Board of Trade" we instantly
think of a body of men. whose duty it is to get new industries for
our town—not a very encouraging task.
But looking over the activities of The Board of Trade in other
Pieces, we find that a new conception about what a Board of Trade
can do, is abroad. They are promoting community Christmas trees
and the visit of Santa Claus to poor homes. They aro watching.

In London, the Chember of Commerce has arranged a series
of visits front men who wish to promote -trade between Canada and
ether lands and members of Chambers of Commerce in outside
towns are informed about these visits and invited to meet these
men while in ,London. Other Boards of Trades are asking citizens
to wait long enough to' consult with the Board of Trade before put-

• The laritish 11.1arket
A housewife in England out buy-
ing a little bacon for tomorrow's
breakfast or an apple or two for the
children's lunch, seems a far cry
from our orchards or farmyard in
Ontario. Yet it is that housewife
and. the millions more like her in
Great Britain who determine, tov- a
large extent, the price our farmers
receive for their products. In 1928
Canada exported agricultural pre -
ducts to the value of $815,000,000
and or this total, about $400,000-
000 worth went to the United King-
dom. But the competition is keen
and the British constimer demands
certain brands of food. Canadian
producers, therefore, mest make
every effort to satisfy this market,
upon which they depend so largely.
