The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1934-12-06, Page 7u THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1931 EDITORIAL Died in Manitoba Thanks very much, for tha|t cheaper hydro! ******** That sunshine on the first of December was a good ithing to see and to feel. ****4**** We welcome 'the news of the fine days in Alberta and Saskait- c hew an. ****V*** The farmer who has no(t his work well in hand this fall must be a, bit lazy or out .of luck. ******** We’re within one month of midwinter day. Every fine day shortens up the dreaded winter. Word hag been received in town of the death of Mrs, Thomae Green­ way, a late resident of Crystal City, Manitoba. Deceased passed away on November 9th after a six weeks’ ill­ ness following a stroke and was laid to rest in Crystal City cemetery. Formerly Miss Emma Essery, she was born in 185-5, a daughter of the late John Essery, of Stephen town­ ship. Mr. Essery was founder of the flour mill, carding mill on the Aux Sable river two miles .and a half directly west of Centralia. Her hus­ band the late Thomas Greenway was a member of Parliament for South Huron and has since been Prime Minister of Manitoba. He was a form­ er storekeeper at Centralia and De-: von. Following their marriage they moved to Manitoba where they have resided for over fifty years. Mrs. Greenway was one of the finest and most respected women in Crystal City and is greatly mourned by her family. of Importance And now for the Christmas season! Our merchants, have stock­ ed up with about the finest goods the market ;has to offer. ******** We know a man who has come through the depression wUh a balance on th'e right aide of his ledger. He kept his brain in steep. ******** We know of a man who imagined that the government of tih'is country had so arranged tihingsi that a debtor .could snap his tingens at his creditor and proceeded not to pay this interest. Well, (the poor soul is on the run this very hour. ******** ONE THING TAUGHT The Royal teaches 'the monetary value of careful feeding and the careful grooming of farm stock. The present high watei' mark of the Royal soon will be commonplace on Ontario farms’. ******** A little war talk now and then Is relished by some foolish men, When1 papers run ou|t of general news They’re sure to dig up warlike views. ******** How dear to our heart is the prompt pay-subscriber Who promptly remits by |the new of the year, Whose check comes in promptly, like roses In' summer, Wlioise big jolly .doubloons fills our heart with rare cheer. ******** ’ER PLOIGHT “Mrs. ’Arris, I ’ears hat your old man, "Arry, do be getting about a hit?” “E be. But it puts me 'in a koind of a ’ole. .Oive sold ’is clothes to get ’im a ’eads'tone.” the ■re- on has originated by a discovery of such great importance that it attracts and holds exper­ ienced prospectors and mining men. FOR EXAMPLE—The Hollinger in Porcupine The Wright-Hargreaves in Kirkland Lake The Young-Davids on in Matachewan The Noranda in Rouyn Little Long Lac in the Long Lac Area ******** TOO DEAR All over rural Ontario farm women are thinking of buying an electric washing machine. At present (those life-saving machines are altogether too high in price. The government w’ill conifer a, last­ ing benefit foy looking into this matter. * * *>» * * * * The road of Right has neither turn nor bend, Its sitretches straight unto the highest goal; Hard, long and lonely?—yes, yet never soul! Can lose 'its way thereon, nor miss the end. —(Priscilla Leonard ******** GETTING TIRED Jack Canuck is getting tired of this thing of casting suspicion upon every man and every company doing business. While things financial are not all tha(t they -should be in the way .of common honesty, the real need'of the hour is for policies that are practically constructive. • **•**♦• GREATLY NEEDED BUT TOO COLD That heavy rain that visited us the last of November lacked nothing in desirable wetness. It found its way <to (the bottom of scores of dry wells and put vitality into many a failing spring. It soaked thousands of acres of thirtsy meadows and (revived the mea­ dows over dozens o'f counties. Just- the same it was, too cold. We were out in it.*>»♦♦*** GREATLY APPRECIATED The mild November that has just passed into, history has meant more to Ontario than most of us even dream. Practically every day of the month the cattle and horses of the province have been able to- graze in comfort in pastures that have been kept green by frequent rains and mild atmosphere. This has meant a saving in feed of millions of dollars-. Better still it has meant a condi­ tioning of farm stock .that is away beyond all computation. * * * * * * k * * A DIFFERENCE We were in the police court not so very long ago when a party of boys were up -for trial. It seems that on All Hallows Eve these youngsters in the company of some girls were out playing pranks. One thing lead to another till prataks became mischief and property damage resulted. This was all very funny when the pranks were ‘being played but 'it looked very different when the officer arrived with his papers and the magistrate ruled- that folk wiho. interfere with the peace of His Majesty’s subjects must pay the penalty. What is worse still, the names of (blie offenders are on record as law breakers. Each of those prank players from henceforth’ is marked and will l'ikely be locked for should any mischief be done where any of them .are found. As a rule, boys -and dogs are tail the bet|ter of being in at night, unless a real master knows their whereabouts. It takes but a minute to get into trouble. It takes years of good living to get out of (that very trouble. There’s a difference between play­ ing a prank land paying blie piper. ******** - A BIT OF SPLENDID WORK When our big brother, Lorne Eedy of the Journal-Argus, * let it be known that he was fitting up Ihis print shop and trimming his goose quill to get out an edition of his paper celebrating the founding of his town we knew that there would be doings in his print shop. And th,ere were, for he and Ills staff have brought out one of the finest editions of a paper celebrating such an event that ever we have seen. We say this ill face of the fact that his own “pioter” appears openly therein The. photograph man and the printer chap did the best they could with the material at hand, and that’s all we have to s-ay. But plcter or no picter, however, this is a great edition and we congratulate our big brother and those who worked with .him. Something of the solidity of the hills amid which St. Marys nestles must have been in the thought and nerve of 'the citizens whose story Mr. Eedy tells so well, as the brave days of old they laid broad and deep those foundations that support her present prestige. During tlhe stirring times1 in which other towns have become villages and villages have disappeared alto­ gether, St. Marys has gone on her way plodding when She could not run and walking when she could not use her wings, Brother Eedy has told this story In a way that makes the rest of us proud of him and all Ontario citizens delighted' that there Is such n place as St. .‘Marys. So here’s to Brother Eedy and his print shop and his staff. May he live to see the next celebration; In the meantime may neither his shadow nor his efficient staff grow less, nor his print shop smaller! . , ,, 25 YEARS AGO Dec. 9, 1909 Mr. Harry Tayl'or has moved to town from Hensall.
