PERKINS—DELBRIDGE A quiet wedding took place at the home of Mrs. and the late Mr. Jesse Delbradge, Hamiota, Man.; when her daughter Olive Gertrude, was unit­ ed in marriage to Leslie Elias, son Mr. and Mrs. Levi Perkins, of Owen Sound, Ontario. Rev. T. D. Barnett, of Hamiota United Church was the officiating minister. The bride, who. was given in mar­ riage by her brother William R., of Oak River, Man., was gowned in polo, blue silk! crepe with white and pearl trimmings. Only immediate relatives were present at the ceremony. After a sumptuous dinner the happy couple left by motor on a short honeymoon. On their return they will reside at Hilton, Man. POSTMARKS AND COLLECTORS The appointment of Oscar Philips as postmaster at Santa Claus, Ind., suggests the interest which stamp collect ”3 and others take in post­ marks. Every year tens of thou­ sands of persons send Christmas package and cards on to the Santa Claus postoffice to be remailed so they will bear that appropriate ad­ dress. One of my stamp collector friends prizes the “covers” of let­ ters which he received from the Byrd Polar Expedition—one from the North Rple and one from the South Pole—above everything in his col­ lection. I know one man who is trying to make a complete collection of post­ marks, to include every post office in the United States. Counting the sub-stations, there are more than 50,000 o;f them. He figures that it will have cost him in postage alone more than $3,0 00 to make his col­ lection, but believes that when it is complete it will be worth several times that money. An any rate, it is a harmless hobby. The Leading Race Goldstein—Whatever you go in the world you will always find -our Jews are the leading people. McGregor—Ach man, how about the North Pole?

And unfor­ tunately wages 'have not increased proportionately in many in­ stances. —The St. Thomas Times-Journal We have just come in from looking over an orchard owned by a farmer who is doing some quiet chuckling as nimble doodads pop delightedly into his cash box. This old .chap 20 years ago, chose a locality where a hill shelters his trees from the prevailing winds. The soil 'is naturally well drained. The field is somewhat diffi­ cult to work for ordinary farm production. Well, the trees are just coming into bearing. Spraying 'has been kept up and good pruning has been done. The early fall and the harvest apples have paid the farm taxes and insurance. A neat three-figure sum will come in for the winter apples. IS THIS A CAUSE? We wonder, sometimes, at the vast amount of continued unem­ ployment. In this state of affairs one sign of a progressive age? Have we been calling the past few years the time of the Great De­ pression while we should have been calling it the Dawn of a New Era. A little straight thinking is good for the soul. .Forty years ago we preached the doctrine of everyone’s paying his way. Youth soon took us at our word in this particular the result being that every child was restless fill be became a worker who was being directly paid in cash on his own account. It naturally follow­ ed that every child eagerly sought to be going on his own. He was no longer content to' work on the farm or in the store getting what spending money he might and being rewarded by one day receiving a share of the family estate. Boys were pointed to the workshops or the stores or the professions of the city. Girls were urged to at­ tend business college or. to prepare themselves for secretarial work. Those who invented machines or who could organize labour on a large scale were regarded as public benefactors. Quick, immediate, returns in terms of cash were the tests of success and of good liv­ ing. Not machines alone, but a desire on the part of youth to be financially independent early in life has brought in an era that is sorely puzzling us. INVALUABLE Sneering has been the treatment handed out to the League of Nations by some memberls of the press and by some clergymen from whom we look for better things. “Why has not the League stop­ ped the aggression of Italy upon Ethoipia?” they ask. “Iig it a mori­ bund affair where elderly gentlemen in frock coats walk about looking mysterious, talking unintelligible inanities but getting no­ where?” These wideawakes have added “The League has no' teeth, anyway.” For one thing the League has been, a centre around which dis­ cussion has gathered, dispassionately for the most part. Through the good offices of the League all parties to the dispute have had the opportunity of stating their case in terms that all the world may understand and weigh. Now the war 'is on all who, wish to be informed may know why the belligerents fight each other. That in itself is a great deal. Further, the League .has teeth. If any­ one has any doubts on this point, let him attain clearmindedness by asking Italian soldiers and the Italian government. Futher, the nations of the League have the oipportunity of ascertaining who are their friends and what nations play no game except on the terms of heads I win, tails you lose.” Britain has discovered this and one of two nations are surprised at the effect their straddling the fence has had upon them. International policies have in them less of the gray order but more of the black or white. Before a nation fires a single gun she knows what she is about. The League has wrought steadily fon peace. While she has not kept a belliger­ ent nation from’ playing bully she .has succeeded in branding the aggressor as the leader in the most coldblooded and deliberately planned and uncalled for war in all history. «»*****• SHE KNOWS HOW TO SAY IT Our parson has been telling us lately that it is high time for some of us to spend an occasional evening at home. Waxing bold, he blurted out that it is the business of every dad to know the names of his own children. This may be .going a little too far. However, the other evening we stayed at home and gave the radio full eWing. And what a variety came pouring into our ears, states­ men, jazz people, ads., music, plays, -cooking recipes, news from all pants of the world, jokes and scores of other odds and ends to make one merry. We tried to express our feelings, but the Glas­ gow Herald did the trick for us in the following lines that brought back many a memory and stirred the cockles of our hearts. ‘As Fionn’s faithful listener heard The shadow of a whispered word Or shiver of a growing grass, So everywhere Across the air ■We hear enchanted music pass, And list to voices far away That talk to us, and sing and i>ray.” What winged words and thoughts are these, That flash and fly Along the iSky, From Solway to the Hebrides? Above the tarns, and moors, and hills, 'Like a great harp the aether thrills!” A. Mari Campbell Ireland FISHER5LEN LOSE NETS IN LAKE HURON GALES Goderich fishermen lost a total of 69 nets in the storms on Lake Huron of the last few days. One fisherman was cleaned out entirely when he lost 21 nets. The total loss is esti­ mated at over $1,000. FRACTURES HIP Mrs. James Broad'foot, highly es­ teemed resident of Tuckersmith Twp who is in her ninety-first year, had the misfortune to slip on the steps as she was going into the home of her son, A. Broadfoot, and fracture her hip. The engagement is announced of Laura Gertrude, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Clark, of Crediton, to Harry Donald, sen of Mr. and Mrs. William Dale, Brampton, the marriage to take place the latter part of October. SOUTH HURON MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION The opening meeting of the Min­ isterial Association was held at the home of Rev. W. A. Young, Hensail on Monday, October 7th. Two new members in the persons of Rev. W. Mair, of Thames Road United Church and Rev. Beverley Farr of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Hensail, were introduced by Mr. Young.

Hunt, of Exeter; Secretary- Treasurer, Rev. R. N. 'Stewart, of Centralia. The paper for the day was given by Rev. S. R. Johnston, who dealt with the subject, “Perils of the Ministry.” Mr. Johnston gave a very able account of the dangers that confronted every minister in the course of his work and advanced nany valuable suggestions for more effective ministry. .Rev. J. R. Peters, of Elimville, invited the members tO' Elimville for their. November meeting. At the close of the gathering Mrs. Young served a very delightful lunch and the appreciation of those present was suitably expressed both to- Mr. Johnston for his paper, and to Mr. and Mrs. Young for their hospitality, by Rev. A. E. Elliott, of Exeter. 50 YEARS AGO October 15th, 1885 Harvey-Perkins-In Exeter on the 14th, inst., at the residence of the bride’s father, by Rev. W. S, Pascoe, Mr. Thos.

It has a door that I can shut, And be there all alone; It has a shelf, a closet, too, A window just for me. And hooks where I can keep my close As neat as neat can be. A lovely paper’s on the wall; A rug is on the floor— If I had known how fine it was, I’d had a room before. I like to go- there after school, Away from everyone; I felt—well—sort of scared at first, But now I think it’s fun. The voices of the folks downstairs Seem faint and far away. I hear the rain upon the roof; I watch the birds at play; Oh, yes, it’s often very still, At night there’s not a sound— But I let mother in, of course, When bedtime comes around. Arthur H.
