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as we do: "Woodstock, Jan. 8.—A resolution was introduced at tonight’s meeting of the City Council, but afterwards withdrawn, in which a special committee appointed to go before the Municipal Association wasi asked to present a motion that all police magistrates be removed' from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.” ******** REPORT OF S. S. NO. 1, USBORNE The following is the report of S. S.

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.— Free Press, London. 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, CHEVROLET General Motors Silver Anniversary The Leader Announces The Revolutionary New Embodying the Greatest Advances in Low Priced Car Design Since the Pioneer Chevrolet Six of 1929 DO YOU remember the famous pioneer Chevrolet Six of 1929?
