That is might not fall we have offered everything but honour. We dread 'war, but we dare hot lose our honour. If honour dies, the world has no charm for redblooded men. If war is forced on us we’ll do our duty as God gives us to see our duty in an unsought quarrel. * ****** Winni eg, of Allan. McDougall, whose liome is in Ducan. Deceased came to Lucan with his family from Pros- ypect Hill nearly 30 years ago and for a number of years carried on a blacksmith shop. For some time past h's work has been In the West during the summer months, and he usually spent the winter here. He is survived by his widow, one daughter Mrs. K. McGowan of Clinton and a son, Allan, of Toronto. The remains were brought to Lucan for burial. WHY NOT? We have heard of a clergyman who abandoned his .regular work) to don old clothes that he might live with tramps for a few days. Thie experiment duly made he told his congregation of what he had seen and heard during his experiment. We wonder what his report would have been had he visited or dinary homes and associated with, people who are getting things done? The report on orderly living if. well made 'would have prov en highly interesting. “When Greece forgets her heroes” said one of her famous sons, “she will cease to be great.” We never have thought of the tramp as one whose thoughts or conduct contributed to the welfare of the state to any) considerable degree. ******** 42- of six WHAT’S TO BE DONE Over there in Europe some nations have a profound respect for their pledged word, Germany by) its actions declares .that it will keep its word only so long as it is convenient to do so. Germany has torn up every peace treaty without so much as saying “by your leave.” It’s latest exploit has been t-o violate the imost solemn of its international pledges saying, meanwhile, this violated pledge did not suit us. Come, let us make another pledge!” What is Europe to do under such circumstances? Men like (Stanley Baldwin and Stalin and the President of France and the 49 nations associated with) them must act. What is there for them to do when Hitler is rubbing their noses .morning/, noon and night These nations do not want war, but Germany is goose-steppig ovei> territory she peldged herself to keep out of. What ’has Canada to say of a na tion proving herself the wild boar of civilization? 'Germany has made up her mind as to her course of action. Whiat of the rest of the world? ‘ 1 SENTENCED To SIX MONTHS Andrew Conn, of London, year-old, carpenter and father four children, was sentenced to months in the Ontario Refiormatory by justice Kingston© at the assizes After deliberating for two hours and 45 minutes a jury found him guilty of criminal negligence over the death of 28-year-old Martha Toohey, Lon don domestic. Conn was charged with manslaugh ter but the jury reduced the charge to criminal negligence. He was the driver of a car that collided v’fh another car driven by Douglas He therington, 3 2-year-old London gar age mechanic at the corner of Cen tral avenue and Wellington street on the evening of November 14, Miss Toohey was riding in Hether ington’s car and was fatally injured in the crash. •On Wednesday Hetherington was tried on a manslaughter charge and was acquitted. * - * * • ♦ * * HARDER WINTERS COMING The last three winters have been unusually severe, but if J. B. Kin'cer, chief of the Climate and Crop Weather Division of the United States Weather Bureau is to be believed—and the’ views of such an authority command attention—the worst is yet to come, Mr. Kincer gives an exhaustive .analysis of climatic conditions over a long period of years, and in short, his conclusions, are that the warm and dry trends have reached their natural limits and a reversal of conditions is to be expected. The summers will be cooler and wetter, which will be welcome in place of the heat spells and droughts, and the winters for a good many years hence, will be colder, The opinion is confirmed by Dr. Benjamin F. Finkel professor of astronomy at* Drury College, Missouri, who bases his calculations on an examination of sun spots. If a man from Missouri .says so, well it just naturally follows that it is so. SPREADS A KLMOR OF OREDITON WOMAN Recently an advertisement ing a reward of $50 to the who would give information leading to the one who started a false and malicious report aoout a ’woman who has proved, herself to be decent and respected citizen should have w the effect of stilling Some of those tongues that only wag to dissimin- ate slander and untruth; to emit only the vilest that can do someone | harm. It .seems to be a character- | ..... istic of some—-too many in fact—to j ■■ — think and speak evL when they know hortdn what they think and speak is not; untrue but something that their own I unkind nature would like it to be! true. Sometimes a conviction for' slander has a good effect for a time. It's a pity there are not more. Pe- verting to the case in point, evil or damaging news spreads like wildfire yet the same woman been engaged in good work; helped others and been a __ friend to many in need; has never been known to refuse to help a good cause and yet no one ever thought of giving her a word of praise. But Egmondvil’e United Church in the once a damaging rumor started how presence of immediate relatives of it travelled. It was whispered in tRe couple. Miss Mildred Swan the parlor, it was talked in the us-; p.]ayc>d the-wedding march. The bride ual meeting places -of the idle. But ’ * & no one was good enough to go to; the interested or the libeled party and ask her frankly if there was any foundation for such a report. How good we can be when we think we have a crowd at our back. After all, the world owes its progress, its ; reforms, its achievements to the wo man who could stand alone and fight as well as face her fa'se ac cusers. They had gossipers away back before the days of Christianity and the evil tongue was despised. So friends take warning and do not speak evil of others. A Fi lend SUTHERLAND—NIGH onOi- person The has has ■kind An interesting event took place on March 3rd at St. James’ Church rectory, SeaJforth, when Mabel, dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Nigh, Egmondville, was united in marriage to Alexander Campbell Sutherland, Seaforth, in the presence of the im mediate relatives of the contracting parties.

Outside we saw the doctor making his lone way1 along the street, a 30-miiIe. snowladen gal© bending him double. The township reeve had just left after fomenting that all .township snow shovelling would have to be repeated if th© good name Of the township was to be maintained. For three daiyis his men had been struggling with four-feet-deep heaps1 of snow to get ready (for the car traffic. “And now,” said he, “the whole thing will hiave to be done over again, just as we were getting ouir bttrget balanced!” A farmer dropped in to tell us that his maple-syrup camp was a mass ■of snow and misery. “The whole caboose will have to be shovelled' out and every bucket emptied and washed,” Frost was accumulat ing on th© office window. Over near our desk two merchants were bucy with eheskers, after they had taken a disgusted look at thie weather and had concluded “Nothing doing this afternoon,” The fact is there is no suichi thing as -our bidding good-bye to winter. That grim old season, comes when he is good and ready and, does not leave till he has boarded on, us as long as he sees fit? hTs sojourn of 1936 has been long, cold, oppressive, unwelcome and ob noxious. He has made bad roads for us. He has depleted, our coal bins. He has made it difficult to got wood from the woods and to the market. He has been hard on feed bins. He has been a bad actor’generally, winding up his other misdeeds with terrific, destructive, costly floods. 'So why bid him a civil goodbye? We do not know of a single good thing to his credit-. ® Nothing like the Electric Hand is avail able on any other low priced ear—and all have floors in front cluttered up with gear and brake levers. • Nothing like Terraplane's deep “V-type” windshield in any other low priced car.
