Clerk Huron Presbyterials Annual Meeting The annual meeting of Huron Pres­ byterial of the W. M. g. of the Pres­ byterian Church in Canada was held in Clinton Presbyterian Church on Tuesday of last week. The meeting, which was well at­ tended, opened at ten-thirty, the Scripture reading and .prayers being taken by Mrs.- Albert Taylor, God­ erich. Mrs. D. J. Lane, in her presi­ dent’s .address, gave a very intimate talk concerning the resonsibility of the members of W.M.<S. “Are we us­ ing our time, our talent, our ability, or are we hiding them?” she asked. She spoke of the death of Mrs. Fras­ er, of Bayfield, as a loss to Bay- field and the Presbyterial of a life­ long faithful worker and of the re­ moval of two other valued members, Mrs. Duggan and Mrs. Larrimor, of Clinton, to the Presbyterial. In re­ gard to the allocation, she asked: “Are we just giving our second best to God? We owe all we have to Him and should give freely, openly, and heartily. Out Master is not a hardtask Master. lHe leaves time for leisure to sit at His feet.” Mrs. Lane concluded her talk 'by reference to a sermon she heard from this text: ‘By faith the walls of Jericho fell d,own after they were compassed about se­ ven days.” “We must march round our Jerichoes; God is working His plans out.” iShe spoke olf the won­ derful achievement in, the broadcast­ ing of the King’s Coronantion to the whole world and pleaded that every effort be put forth to broadcast the Gospel of Our Lord to the world. - Very interesting reports were giv­ en by the various secretaries. The treasurer, Mrs. T. Swan 'Smith, .Sea­ forth, reported that some organiza­ tions ahead o'f last year and some behind, but all reports testified that Huron Presbyterial is very much alive to the importance of missionary work and missionary giving. Mrs. Dunlop, Presbyterial secre­ tary, gave a bright, interesting and comprehensive summary of all re­ ports. IShe said Hensall held the banner for the year. Huron had rea­ son to be proud o'f the Y. W. organi­ zations as they stand second in the Province, Toronto Presbyterial, with thirty-six groups standing first. Mrs. Dunlop urged each one to< be alert to every opportunity. * Information was obtained by dis­ cussions on the different reports testifying to the interest being shown. All officers were returned for 193 8, the installation ceremony being conducted by Mrs. Merton A. Reir, of Seaforth. Plans were dis­ cussed for Sectional meetings in April An invitation to Goderich for Sep­ tember Rally was accepted. PICOBAC PIPE TOBACCO FOR A MILD. COOL SMOKE r Backache Bother You?

An undersea sandbank has been discovered near Cuba only twenty fathoms under sea level. Previous charts show this bank to be 1,000 fathoms below sea level. Situations change.******** We most heartily congratulate the new municipal councils as they resume their duties. There is no better school for the develop­ ment of character and understanding. Seme of our very finest pub- lie servants have come up that way. We can easily and destructively overdo this thing of keeping the woodlot trim and trig, as piles of decaying 'brush and such litter provide nesting places for birds and refuges for small game. Even­ tually the rubbish decays and gives back needed humus to the soil. Competition is said to be the life of trade. Yet we doubt this saying when competition drives men to the position where they can produce as much of their product in three months as the consum­ ers can use in twelve months. Ambition has a way of overleaping itself. ******** President Roosevelt promises war to a finish on autocratic big business. Why not be thorough in such matters? It is the big­ business. Why not be thorough in su'ch matters? Is it the big­ autocracy the President is fighting, he will find himself locking horns with human nature. Folk with a penchant for making comparisons tell us that no two snowflakes are alike. We have not done much in the way 'of comparing the flakes, but we know that they are alike in causing a lot of shovelling. They’re alike, too, in the readiness with which we see them .going away. And now they’re telling us that when we undergo anything like a severe tooth-extraction we should go to bed for a day or so. Rugged folk will poo poo such a suggestion and tell you of how they “stood it” and went right on. We are now told that more or less infection follows a severe extraction and that a rest in bed tends to prevent its spreading. Over-confidence creeps on folk like a thief in the night. For instance, we are having far too many serious airplane disasters. Men take off in charge of these awe-inspiring machines who do not know theii- business. There are mechanics who pronounce upon the mechanical fitness of these machines we do not know t’he nature of the materials with which t'hey work and do not know when their job has been done 'properly. Folk in desperate hurry to get some place where they are not needed get aboard these machines with but one result—death. iSo much for speed and incompetence and recklessness.******** DOCTORS AND “HARD TIMES” (New York Times) There is no more charitable group among us than our doctors. But in spite of all their self-sacrifice, a very large percentage of the population doesn’t get medical aid because it cannot pay for it. The • profession as a whole icannot bear an increased load of charity work. Even the average income of physicians is far below what it should be in proportion to the years of education and the investment ne­ cessary to obtain a medical degree. Changes must come. They ' will come whether organized doctors participate in them or not. But it is infinitely preferable that the profession itself take the lead.******** THE BUSINESS RECESSION According to The Christian Science Monitor Sir Arthur Salton has this to say of the present business recession; “First, the industrial adjustments to the effect upon costs of recent legislaion and of labor demands have not yet been made or fully worked out. Secondly, there has been, among those who direct the movement of capital and the larger industries, an accumulating distrust and resentment of the policy of the Roosevelt Administra­ tion; this has been associated' with political sentiments and magni­ fied by everything that, in the American system, creates a mass psychology—so that in the result it is not fanciful to suggest that there is something like a ‘strike of capital’ against political action which it fears and dislikes. Thirdly, there is the fear Of the inter­ national situation.” IRISH MIGRATION Wherever one finds the lirish he finds liveliness. Just now the stir is in the (South of Ireland and in the west of England and the southwest of (Scotland. For the Irish tire leaving the south of Ireland to find work in England and Scotland. The English and „ the Scotch were anxious, fearing that the accession to the population would mean more applicants for the dole. It appears, however, that the Irish are proving to be superior labourers and give evi­ dence of displacing theii’ English and Scotch competitors. As the result of the migration the population of the Irish Free iState has declined from 2,971,992 by about 6,138. The Labour in the Irish Free .'.State, the portion of the island suffering most from the migra­ tion says: "In spite of all- the talk about prosperity, the fact remains that tens of thousands of our people are being compelled to emi­ grate to Britain to escape the evil of unemployyment at home.” So much for too rn.uch politics and inability to forget past wrongs and to begin again* While the public is desirous of all information available re­ garding 'business conditions, working people wish that name-calling and crimination and recrimination would cease and that we’d see CO-operation. There is an ever-growing demand that we should understand the other fellow ahd work With him in so far ks he is right. But this is the very thing in which we persistently come short. In this connection the words Of Mr. G. A. Sloan, an intimate Of Herbert Hoover, are of interest: . "When it comes to discussing the desires of the (hearts of man, which is in the field of ideals, we need a liberated Imagination,” he said. "While Our own fancy plays about with notions of particular kinds of a bettei’ nation, we must be a better nation, we must be ready to appreciate the thoughts of others toward the same end. "Surely there others who may have equally sound notions of the meanings of the good life. Therefore, we should not bo intol­ erant of their criticism. To be truly moderate we should not only dream of our own Utopia. Wo should with sympathy try to inter­ pret that of other men?' | Kippen W. I. | A very pleasant time was spent in the home of Mrs. Robert Simpsop when the Kippen East W. I. met on Friday afternoon to quilt two quilts and pack a bale to be sent to Dr. Margaret Strang-Savage in the Peace River district. After the quilth were finished afternoon tea was served Mrs. Workman and Miss Sarah Sin- claii’ presided over the table with Misses E. Sandford, G. Martin and L, Tremeer assisting. A short busi- I ness session was held and sides were t again chosen for oui’ annual contest f with Mrs. W. McGregor and Mrs. H. ' Caldwell for leaders. Arrangements j were also made for our community : night to be held in Kippen Hall on . Wednesday evening February 2nd.! Mr. Ian McLeod, agricultural repre­ sentative, to be present. Mrs. w. Mc­ Lean gave a demonstration in hair ; pin work and showed several pieces in cotton made many years ago and others in wool made recently. The roll call was responded to with many good resolutions. The next meeting in February tc be at the home of Mrs. W. McLean. < Cromarty Resident Dies Cromarty village and vicinity lost a highly respected resident in the sudden death of Mrs. Donald Mc- Kellar at the home of her daughter Mrs. James Barbour, Staffa, follow­ ing a paralytic stroke. Mrs, McKel- lar had not been in good health for some time but would have at­ tained her 74th birthday on Febru­ ary 6. She was formerly Eliza Mc­ Lachlan, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Donald McLachlan of this vicinity. She was married to Donald McKeliar in 1&87 and their 50 th wedding anniversary would have been celebrated February 28th. She leaves to mourn .her loss her hus­ band and four daughters, Mrs. Jas. Barbour and Mrs. Will Miller at Staffa and Mrs. Russell Scott, Crom­ arty and Mrs. Carl Weitzman, Nia­ gara Falls and two sons, Kenneth at the old home and Dan of Buffalo and eight grand children. The funeral on Wednesday after­ noon was largely attended and was conducted by Rev. James Reidie. In­ terment took place at the Cromarty cemetery. The pallbearers were: Jas. Barbour, Russell Scott, Will Miller, Thomas Laing, Kenneth M’cKellar and Dan McKeliar. The several floral tributes from her own family .and those from other relatives and friends were beautifiul. Those from a distance who at­ tended the funeral were: Mrs. Carl Weitzman, of Niagara Falls; Mrs. Steele of St. Catharines; Mr. and John McLachlan and Will McLach­ lan of Seaforth and Dan McKeliar of Buffalo.

The Bank of Canada .has recently issued bilingual notes replacing those in French for French-Quebec and in English for the other Provinces. They range from one dollar to> a thousand dollars.

The big loss in 1935, of course, was occasioned by the de­ struction of the Stewart .grist mill, the biggest fire in the town for many years. Eleven calls were answered last year by the Mitchell firemen. Three of these were out of town, one in Dublin, one in Staffa and the third to Hibbert Township. Out-of-Town Pay Before the department will answer an out-of-town lire payment must be guaranteed to the mayor. The pumper costs 25 for the first hour and $15 for each additional hour. In addition to- that each fireman re­ ceives 50 cents an hour and 50 cents a mile must be paid for the distance the truck travels. At one fire, ac­ cording to Fire Chief W. S. Bennett, neighbors of the family whose house was burned took a collection to de­ fray all expenses that were incurred. The town, of course, is not left without protection when the depart­ ment is called away. Half o'f the fire­ men remain at home and a small combination chemical and hose truck is always available.
