About 2,000 additional rural Ontario customers have been added to the people’s system. The Provincial Commission is now announcing to Exeter citizenis and the citizens of a larger number of additioal co-operating /municipal­ ities a new Hydro- Electric Range plan intended to place the Electric Range within reach of all. l?ast, safe, qool, clean and con­ fs into of Ontario homes which have not known its ad- 1934 according to latest report sta­ tistics, was 398 as contrasted with 123 in 1917; total revenues last year were $>23,503 as compared with $9,- 466 in 1917; domestic and commer­ cial revenues last year were $16,- 53/5 as against $3,814 in 1917; kilo­ watt hours sold for lighting were <617,392 as compared with 46,675 in 1917, and plant capital is now valued at $51,600 as compared with but $18,978 in 1917. With domestic and commercial lighting rates of 2.5 and 3.4 cents per kiolwatt hour respectively last year, Exeter enjoyed the low aver­ age cost to lighting consumers of 2.68 cents per kilowatt hour. The rate is about half the aver­ age rates prevailing in even larger United States cities. It has been calculated that the application to Ontario of United .States private power rates would add over $40,- 000,000 annually to Ontario’s elec­ tricity bills. In its efforts to extend through­ out all Ontario’ the advantages /of cheap publicity owned power, the (Ontario Hjydro Bower Commission last year instituted special rate in­ ducements including "free power” on certain electrical conveniences to rural Ontario'. /Since 'October last MEAN RACKETEER SEEN IN GODERICH GODERICH—A. new type of keteer has appeared here, who seeks to prey on the relatives of those still confined to prison. A smartly dressed /young man claiming to be a parolled convict, called at the home in Goderich of a mother whose son is in Portsmouth penitentiary. The smooth talking stranger told the lady her son was shortly to be parolled, that he wanted his clothes •his club bag and some money. The mother, wlm works for her living coimplied, giving the stranger a new shirt which she purchased and a fiVe dollar bill. Since the stranger’s departure a letter has been received from, the authorities that the son ‘is not elig­ ible for parole and the stranger /was an venient, the Electric .Range, it hoped, is to be introduced ' thousands previously vantages.

There were two council uneetinge. when the C.G.I.T. program was discussed and sugges­ tions were given for next next year’s camp. Those in charge of the camp were Mrs. N. Trewartha, Clinton, Presi­ dent of the Huron Girls’ Work Board, who was business adminis­ trator and camp mother; Mrs. Mabel Pockett, Clinton, C.G.I.T. convenor of Huron Presbytery, who was camp registrar; Miss Mollie Sargent, of Toronto was the director and the leaders were Mrs. H.

Mrs. Thornloe, of Goderich, served most appetizinz meals. Softball and vo-llyball games were played in the early evening. A few impressive vesper services were held. The evenings were taken up by camp fires ion1 the cliff and at the beach, stunt night, /masquerade and closing ceremonies. Sunday morn­ ing a service was held with the ex­ ecutive in charge and Rev.

Now that he has gone from us, much of the sunlight has left us. Yet it ns not purs1 to mourn that this, courageous spirit ts at rest but to be glad that he tarried with us so long. STEADY, ALL! Let us admit a feeling of disappointment because the harvest of 1935 is not as abundant as hoped for. We ibelieve that we needed something special in the way of farm production 'in order that ac- cummulating financial obligations might be satisfactorily met. Now that we have but an ordinary yield it is not to be wondered- at if some .feel depressed. We cannot but feel chargined because Italy and Ethiopia are so nearly at each other’s throats at a time when the race sorely needed peace and 'productive enterprise and unlimit­ ed good will. N®r can there be anything else but uneasiness be­ cause of the prevailing social and economic fretfulness. These and other factors /give men grave concern. At the same time it ie well to remember that brew and stew of one sort or another seem to be the lot of man. When we think of the misery of our times it is well to recall the dark days that our country /survived; times so> distres­ sing that it was said that Christ and His saints slept. Compared with /condition® of centunies ago, we are in the calm of a summer over-ruling providence, a the worst turns the best with condition® of centunies ago, w;e are evening. What is needed! is faith "in an steady mind and a busy hand. “(Sudden to the brave.” WE AGREE The iSt. Thoma's Tim’es-Journal has been, doing its /simple duty by reminding magistrates tihat the way some of- them have >of over­ tempering justice with mercy is not in the interests of public wel­ fare. Of course that live paper has come in for some severe critic­ ism' for its timely action. Well, we commend the Ti/mes-Journel for its stand. There are certain law® of the road that all should obey. .For instance when the laws of .the road are violated the penalities prescribed by law should be imposed. The driver who' knows what is /coming to. him ■when he breaks the law will think twice before taking a chance. If •he knows that clever counsel may have the penalty set aside he simply laughs a.t the crown and goes on his reckless, potentially- murderous way. When judges and magistrates learn that law is to be administered and citizens learn that laws are to be obeyed things will run. much more smoothly in this good land. We commend the Times-Journal. , **** i*4'*4> JJ $ Italy i® bent on war with Ethiopia. No rhyme nor reason that other nations have been able to advance so far has been sufficient to restrain her greed. It is territory that she wants and territory she iff bound to have, if making war will gain her purpose, no matter what blood flows and what women are widowed. And this from a country noted for its law and from the shadow of one of the greatest cathedrals the world ever has known. However, the history of the world iff the judgment of the world. Goodness is the nature of things. It has been the way of the world that good has destroyed evil. Napoleon vowed that France should dominate Europe. He found hi® way to St. Helena. Bismark re­ solved that Germany should rule Europe. He found his way to a dusty but deeply cursed oblivion. Instead of his proving Germany’s best friend he laid the way for her torture. Mussolini is bound to go the way of all who practico inhumanity and injustice. That Is as certain as death. ............. YOUR grocer Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in a Great Summer Sale!
