Goderich Court Having lived sixty-six years with­ out so much a^ having entered a court room, let falone facing a char­ ge, Fred Hopkins, Goderich Town­ ship farmer shed copious tears in police court ’when convicted by Mag­ istrate Makins of attempting to wound Gordon Fisher, an eighteen- year-old farm hand. Evidence showed that during an (altercation at Holmesville last night Hopkins pulled a knife, opened the -blade and threatened Fisher, but spectators wrested the blade from him before any- damage was done. Hopkins admitted he was entlaged because Fisher had struck him down with a blow' to the mouth during a mix-up which had started in fun. Accused was given suspended sentence and -was obliged to pay $16 court costs. He said he met too many old friends at the' Goderich fair when the magistrate suggested that drink was- the caitse of it all. Hopkins bears an excellent reputa­ tion. Reckless Driver Fined Christian Ander&on, of near Dash­ wood, wias assessed $10 aud costs for reckless driving.

Accused admitted he had a few’ -drinks -of beer during the afternoon but claimed he could not see the red reflector on the buggy because of the Dashwood village lights, a short distance awtay. Will increase Penalty When two men pleaded guilty to drunken driving and were sentenced to seven days in jail, Magistrate Ma­ kins isaid, “This offence is becom­ ing altogether too-, common and if it continues, I will increase the penalty in the very near future.

We know as well as anyone that these commandments have a good many “Thou shalt Nat’s” in them. It’ must be remembered, however that these prohibitions are in -the interest of freedom and not by way of restriction. Doing God’s will is the way to liberty. All of which reminds us of the breaking down of the big schemes set on foot by President Roosevelt for national recovery, not to say something about the feeble imitations other rulers have made of his methods in the way of price fixing. He has proven -to be a mixer and muddler rather than a reconstructive force for the w.orld’3 rebuilding. He forgot that all wealth and all business de­ pends, for one thing, upon human wants and the free effort put forward to satisfy -those wants. Moreover he has overlooked the wisdom in the old saying ‘Heaven helps those who help themselves’ His like have ignored the fact that there is no help like self-help and that the worst enemy one can have is the party or agency that does one’s work for him. -Further, he and his imitators have en­ couraged tens- of thousands to believe that i-t is the duty of the government to find citizens jobs. In -this way a so-called benevol­ ence has wrought ill to the persons expected to be benefitted. This may seem harsh to some people, but the world is harsh and often cruel. The sooner this is recognized the better. Bankruptcy is of all financial con’di'tious the most cruel, and that is the state towards which Roosevelt is leading his country. Some municipalities and governments in Canada are slowly waking up to this condition of affairs. However, none are so blind as those who don’t want ro see ******** PLEASE READ THIS AND NOTE The following may be found in the Bank of Montreal business letter for September, Let us thank God and take courage: “Business in general lias been characterized by steadiness and the third quarter at 1934 is drawing -to a close with most economic indices higher than during the second and first quarters, and show­ ing marked advances all along -the line as compared with the simil- iar period of 1933. Car loadings continue to mount, being now well in excess not only of last year but of 1932 also. Foreign, trade recorded expansion again in August and for now more than a year has shown a continuous increase when compared with the figures of the, previous year. Gross railway earnings in August were up $1,142,600 over last year. After -showing a decline in August, tne ’bank clearings in the first two weeks of the current month were larger than in the corresponding period last year by $132,796,500, or 26.8%. Industrial operations are moderately active. Produc­ tion of motor vehicles greatly exceeds that of last year, with cor­ responding increase in output of tires. Forest -products are being makretecl in larger quantity.. Output on newsprint continues- on as enlarged scale compared with recent years. Building operations are slowly extending to the advantage .of the allied trades.” And Study this: “The year 17'019 is remembered in the history of the British Isles and Western Europe a.s the year of the Great Fro-st. I-t is de­ scribed as accompanied by dark cloudis and “comfortless cold,” as going on with interval for an interminable time while cattle, sheep and birds perished. Then followed prolonged rains and a thin harvest that “doubled the price of corn” in England and reduced France to starvation. To the common people of that period this climatic phenomenon, in the terrible -suffering it entailed, must have seemed the supreme historic fact, as the sufferers in our own West must think the drought-of this year to be, in the midst of all other exceptional happenings of 1934.”—The Now York Times. Now, that’s a mighty ugly picture, nevertheless its: a picture worth looking at because 'it is a true one. Just about 100 years af­ ter the events therein set forth Canada passed through a year known on Eighteen Hundred and Starve to Death. .

Hawkins, however, did good work behind the batters Carrick’s sudden dip,s-over the plate being the only ones to slip by him.

Convert Your Victory Bonds Now BELIEVED SUHTDE Circumstances surrounding the death of Andrew Doig, Egmondville bachelor, now point strongly to sui­ cide, Crown Attorney D. E, Holmes said recently. A preliminary report made by Prof. Rogers, of Toronto, who is conducting an analysis of the viscera, record tracings of arsenical poisoning, the crown attorney said, thus linking up the cause of death with a container of Paris Green found near the body in a field a 'half mile from the deceased’s home. The poison, however, was hidden under a hawthorn© tree, and was n,ot dis­ covered until a week after the body was found. Prof. Rogers will for­ ward a complete report on his analy­ sis in the course of a few days. Doig left his home on Friday morning, September 7 th, hale and' hearty. His lifeless remains were found the following Sunday by the searchers. Securities valued at over $15,000 were later found in Doig’s safety deposit box. There is no will. Strangely enough, two of Doig’s brothers met mysterious deaths, both from gunshot wounds while alone in the bush, Verdicts of acci­ dental deaths being recorded by coroners in both instances. One occasionally meets a woman of few words-—but oh, how she over­ works them! YOUTH SENTENCED 7 wo year*, suspended sentence was given a 13-year-old Hensail youth, charged with wounding, in a juvenile court session presided over by Judge C. A. Reid at Hensall, .Surprising evidence wais given that a bullet fired from a .22 rifle in the hands of the lad, aimed at a tin can on a fence post, Wad travelled 3 00 yards 'beyond the mark and struck Mrs, Estelle Vanlandeghan, engaged in picking onions in a field, in the right tHigla. • She was, felled to the ground as she w!as in the act of lifting a basket of onions. The surgeon who attended Mrs. Vanlandeghan in Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, testified that the thigh bone was splintered, the bul­ let flattened and removed in three pieees. The injured lady is still confined to her bed at her home, but is expected to fully recover. The husband of the woman said he had on previous days heard bull­ ets whizzing through the air, T.he youth said he had saved his money from earnings -as a delivery boy and had purchased the rifle and it was established that the sale was illegal. The boy, however, was order­ ed to report to the Children’s Aid inspector, once a month for two ye'ars. The evidence 'brought out indicat­ ed that a civil action for damages is pending.
