969.34 in personal property and $2,-
900 in real estate. Besides the be
quests to the Sisters of St. Joseph
he also left money for the support
of the Catholic Churches at Parkhill
and Bornish. M. P. McDonagli filed
the will with the court.
Cautious Sandy says: “thet es farr es he is concairned pros^-

whaur it is. He has keekit every ither place for it.”

JUST ONE MORE
The ousting of House-Leader Sinclair from his position of prom
inence in -his party is but another instance of the reward reaped by
many a deserving public servant. A man of stainless honour, clean
and straight in his conduct, a keen debater and possessed of an
analytical mind of a high order, a splendid parliamentarian with
a record above reproach, he was, nevertheless deposed without
thanlksi and without mercy, precisely as his peers have been ousted
before him. However, Mr. Sinclair has been the patriot and the
gentleman: In this he will find satisfaction. He has his quiet
thoughts and his honour.

NEW COUNTY CLERK FINDS
FINDS OFjFICE BARE
Ouste dOfficial Took All the Records
and Blank Forms
GODERICH, Jan. 11—The County
Council meets on January 19, and
one of its tasks will be the naming
of a .secretary for the old age pen
sion board and criminal audit. Geo.
Holman, who was relieved of the
clerkship at the December session
still holds these positions, and is
carrying on from his home. He is
also secretary of the mothers’ allow
ance board.
When Mr. Holman vacated office
on the first of January he removed
all records and blank forms from the
county buildings pretaining to the
various positions, as was his right
the Council having overlooked the
necessity of rescinding by-laws ap
pointing him. iMr. Holman is also a
justice Of the peace, ana he remov
ed all statutes and other paraphen-
alia to his home as his property by
reason of his position.
When Clerk J. M. Roberts finally
secured the keys he stepped into an
office almost as bare as the proverb
al Mother Hubbard’s cupboard.
George Holman, aged 77, is a dough
ty fighter and a sticker on formality
and legal procedure. Just now he
is sitting on top of the weather vane
carrying on just as he did before he
was ousted from his clerk’s job.
He will be a candidate for reappoint--
ment to these respective positions,
it is stated.
Recently we drew attention to the inadvisability of magistrates
having anything to do with police boards. It is interesting to note
as the following clipping indicates, that some of our big brothers
think as we do: "Woodstock, Jan. 8.—A resolution was introduced
at tonight’s meeting of the City Council, but afterwards withdrawn,
in which a special committee appointed to go before the Municipal
Association wasi asked to present a motion that all police magistrates
be removed' from police commissions. Aid. Saunders, moving the
resolution, said he did not wish to cast any reflection on the Wood-
stock police -magistrate, but he felt that magistrates, should not
have jurisdiction over constables who brought cases before him. He
did not think it was justice. Aid. A. McLeod, seconded the resolu
tion.”

VISITED BY “LITTLE SISTER”
AFTER SEARCH OF 17 YEARS
A quiet reunion between William
Champion, 483 Talbot Street and
the "little sister” he and other
members of the family have been
seeking for 17 years was effected
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. John Mills, 22 years old, of
Granton, motored to London with
her husband and young child to take
the first step in what is .hoped will
be a family reunion. At the age of
five, Mrs. Mills was adopted from the
Children’s Shelter here by Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Hickey, of Grand Bend.
She later married John Mills and
her family have had no trace of her
since the adoption, although they
made several attempts.
Since learning of her whereabouts
Mrs. Mills’ father, W. H. Champion,
of 43 Sutton Avenue, Toronto, has
anxiously suggested that she 'come
to Toronto to see him,
"I will not remember my father,
nor in fact any of my sisters and
brothers, who live in Toronto,” Mrs.
Mills said to The Free Press.
She suggests that the remainder
of the family come to see her. “It
is hard for me to get away in the
wintertime with a small child,” she
explained.
Mrs. Mills also declared that she
does not recall what her mother
looked like.
“I would never -have known my
youngest sister when she came to
the door if I hadn’t been expecting
her,” said William Champion this
afternoon.
Other members of the family, it
is said, are Mrs. Ivy Morrison, 276
Gerrard street, Toronto; Mrs. E.
Smith, 607 Yonge street, Toronto,
and one brother, Ed., wnose adopt
ed name is Bancroft, and who lives
at 76 Sixth street, New Toronto.—

COUPLE HONOURED ON
GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs. Joint Cochrane, of
Kippen, married Fifty Years
Fifty years of happy wedded life
on the part of Mr. and Mrs. John
Cochrane was celebrated at two so
cial gatherings, one in the form of
a dinner party, tendered to the rela
tives of the couple at their home,
the other, a public reception in Wat
son’s Hall, attended by a large num
ber of friends. Six* of the couple’s
widely separated family of 11
children were able to be present at
the joyous festivities. The others1
sent appropriate messages of con
gratulation.
Rev. Mr. Chandler, of Hensall, the
guest of honour at the dinner, pro
posed a toast to the charming
couple, whose mental and physical
health quite belie their advanced
years. At an early age Mr. Cochrane
came east from his native Victoria
B.C. Here he met Mary Jane Jarrot
who was to be the pleasant compan
ion of his married life, spent on
their splendid Stanley Township
farm. The following children were
present on the happy occasion Of
their parents’ golden wedding cele
bration: Miss Edna Cochrane, of
Toronto; Cleve Cochrane, of Hay;
Mrs. Armour, of I-Ienstlll; Allan
Cochrane, of Hay; Mrs. Dix, of Tor
onto and Mrs. Hopkins, who camo
from her Chicago lioine for the
occasion. The celebrants have five
other children, James Cochrane, of
Toronto; William Cochrane, of Chi
cago; Mrs. Eiler, of Sudbury; Mrs. '
Kenny, of Toronto and Mrs. Mur
phy, of Hay. Tihe popular couple
are in their middle seventies’.
About the surest way to get a job
Is -to be rich and not need it.
Business men in the United States are discovering that busi
ness recovery in the Republic is a matter of morals quite as much
as an affair of finance. In thisi connection The London News-
Chronicle makes the following remarks: “President Roosevelt’s
words are brave words which will be echoed with approval' in mil
lions of American homes and embody a message equally applicable
on this side of the Atlantic. Yet the devil of doubt prompts the
question whether the declarations of Roosevelt the reformer may
not defeat the more immediate projects of Roosevelt the recovery
worker.
“Can America, with its traditions of highly individualistic, not
to say lawless, private enterprise in industry and its great lack of a
trained and professional civil service, be induced to accept the de
gree of State control over the social and economic structure which
President Roosevelt clearly proposes, without the risk of paralyzing
its capacity to achieve recovery on the existing capitalistic lines?
********
IS IT WISE?
Is it wise just now for the government of Canada to propose
changes in her banking system? This question simply will not
down. There is nd use saying that Canada’s banking system cannot
be improved. That goes without saying. But it is equally true
that it borders on rashness to .make any change therein that savours
radical radicalism. Any swell action in times like these is likely to
breed discontent where confidence should prevail.
In this connection plain men are urging that Canada’s banking
system has withstood the upheavals of the past four or five years
with satisfactoriness that is beyond all' praise. During that period
not a bank depositor has lost a dollar through bank failures.
Further, the banks have taken care of Canadian business with
remarkable satisfactoriness. Where circumstances justified the
loaning of money, the money was forthcoming. Where the propoed
business venture did not warrant the loaning of money, the banks
have kept the money in their vaults,, though they were eager to loan
millions of dollars when business experience justified their doing
so. In the witholding of money the banks, have served the Domin
ion and its citizens quite as effectually as they served' in the loaning.
Thousands of individuals and firms today thank the banks for their
conservative credit policy. Individuals, business houses, municip
alities and governments both provincial and federal, have the pro-
foundest reasons to praise the bankers for the wisdom shown in the
monetary life of this broad land.
Why, then, radically change a system that has served so ad
mirably? Why make it harder for a system that has done so well,
that has a record beyond reproach in the affairs, of its constituency?
********
ADVANCE?
Plain people are wondering a good deal these days if the race
is making the progress that some prominent people alleged it was
making. For many a day before the sifting times of 1929 we heard
a great deal about the expert. The specialist was in demand every
where from informing prime ministers at economic conferences to
street sweeping. Unless one were an expert he was a nobody.
Well, here we are and things are pretty well messed up. The expert
in the land of experts lias failed to avert a condition in which hogs
were slaughtered for nothing and 'cotton was plowed under wan-
tomly and milk was poured out like streams of water without one
cent being given in return therefor. Nations, under the guidance
of experts' in every department are feeling for each other’s throats’.
Alleged experts sat in solemn judgement on the way childten were
constructed mentally and gave forth awe-aspiring decrees as to the
intelligence of the children. However, time and circumstances,
those fine old testers from whose court there is no appeal, have
shown that the verdicts given with so much gravity are about as
Worth considering as the guesses of the village gossip. Oh yes and
the efficiency expert was abroad in the workshop counting eyewinks
or some such important work, while time has proven that the very
shop where this sort of thing was driven to the limit is falling be
hind its competitors, the management of the shop meanwhile look
ing on helplessly while others, make away with the business. How
ever His Majesty, King George, ;has not been taken in by any such
clap trap- His noble words, are the mental and moral tonic that
we need. “Unshakable sanity, invincible patience and tireless good
will*’ are the qualities that he declares will in the long run overcomo
most of the things that can be brought against them.
Plain, old-fashioned virtues, these my masters, b,ut they have
stood the test of time. These three abide but the greatest of these,
when properly understood, is good will. It is High time that the
fevered, flurried race took a quiot half hour to think,
