THURSDAY, MAY 19th, 193S
QUIDNUNC
The number of people of Finish
origin from (Finland-Suomi) in the
world is about Six Million—in the
United Stages about two hundred
and fifty thousand.
The racial stock of Finland
(Suomi) is not Swedish, Norwegian
or Russian. It is said to be histor
ically older than any of these. It is
more closely related to the Magyer
(Hungarian) and Bulgarian.
The Finns have been closely iden
tified with the history of the United
States. The recent .historical dedi
cation address made by the Govern
or of (Pennsylvania credits the Finns
and Swedish people with being the
first permanent settlers in what is
now known as Pennsylvania. <
The chief characteristics of the
Finn are Sincerity, Loyalty, Integri
ty, Honesty and singleness of pur
pose. In all history, no Finn has
ever been 'known to shirk .his duty.
Honesty with the Finn, is not a
matter of policy nor an assumed vir
tue. It is an instinctively inherent
trait, It is the right thing to do
and he does it no matter what any
one else may say or think.* * *

THOSE AMIABLE GERMANS
The German government has determined on its course of ac
tion regarding all property held by Jews under German domination
The short and long of the policy is that .the Jews are to Ibe robbed
of their property and then starved or forced into exile. This is a
fulfilment of what tihe spokesman of the German rulers said before
some Americans was to be their policy of “benevolant extermina
tion”. Irishmen -and Scotchmen and Canadians of no particular
breed will do well to ponder such state of affairs, for what Germany

On the surface it
have had a very raw
and people of that land have been despoiled, subjugated all for no
cause of tiheir own. King and people joined the League of Nations
in good faith and lived up to' the provisions of the League through
out the struggle that lhas 'turned out so disastrously for them. In
face of such becoming conduct, no' nation lifted one finger in their
beihalf. Their necks are under 'the lheel of the conqueror without
the protest of any first class power. This is the way things appear
this hour.
But is there anoibher side to this story? We’d like to know.
We wait with patience a statement from the League. Failing such
an utterance from the League, a declaration from the British' For
eign Office is in order. Something should 'be done to' clear the air.
If Haile Salasse and his people merit tihe treatment they 'have un
dergone, we’d like to know it. Expediency never permanently su
persedes justice. Right in the only abiding might. 'SO' (history
teaches.
Witilr the statement that tihe League abandoned Ethiopia to
prevent a world war we have little patience. The policy of doing
a li'ttle wrong in the interests of a great right does not appeal to. us.
We are not convinced that Italy would have fought tihe League had
she been told to keep her hands off and had solid battalions and
dreadnoughts and airplanes been marshalled to enforce the (hand
off policy. Still less are we convinced that European peace is in
sured by approval of Italian policy with Ethiopia. We wait a frank
statement in regard to the League’s action, as well as an explana
tion of on tihe part of (the United States government why Uncle Sam
did not take up tihe quarrel in defence of justice. Because the
United States is not a member of tihe League does not free her from
hearing her share of tihe white man’s burden.
First Gas Buggy
We are very grateful to Mr. F. W.
Hess of Hensail, who gave us the
following information: On Bunday,
May 8th last it was thirty years
since the first New Gasoline Automo
bile was brought to Zurich. Some of
the older residents now living will
well remember tihe little “one cylin
der” Reo “Devilwagon” and it was
owned by Mr. Fred W. Hess, jewel
ler and now jeweller in Hensail. Mr.
Hess tells us that at that time gaso
line was 65c. per gallon, bought at
the drug store. The license was $1.
and the 'number was from year to
year (the same) until 1911, when
cars became more plentiful on the
highways. This notorious Reo
probably carried the first load
tile in Canada. Wm. Hess was the
driver, and Mr. John Hildebrandt .the
passenger and it steamed into Zurich
with its load in 190'S1. What a revela
tion the auto industry has brought
us since 1908 or the past thirty years
and just what is before us? Well, we
will see. —Zurich Herald

Exeter, My Nativity
(by Frank W. K. Tom, 2306 Putnam St., Toledo, 0.)
There’s an old home in the .Northland where the sugar maple grows
In a village, where the River Aux ‘Sable gently flows
And murmurs a soft welcome. Where the chapel bells ring clear
At the closing of the day, at the ending of the year.
To the old town in the homeland by recollections flow,
Where cares resign to reveries of the years of long ago,
To the woodlands, and the river, to tread the verdant sod;
To reSt, and dream of hills and dales, of ferns and goldenrod.
Where daffodils, and narcissi and tulips debonair,
And apple-blossoms lend their pungent fragrance to the air.
To hear the night-jars lusty cry as they forage through the night
And playful borealis spreads ill is fantasy of light.
Where evening zephyrs whisper through the pine trees on the lawn,
And tihe cricket sings his cadance from night-fall until dawn.
Where the trembling moon-beams flood the night like a stream or
yellow gold,
And life is like an evening sohg, or a story that is told.
HURON TOWNSHIPS IN
FAVOR OF COUNTY COUNCILS
The rumors that the Ontario Got*
ernment has under advisement n
move to abolish county councils in,
the province are likely to echo at
the -sessions of Huron (County Coun
cil, which opens at the end?of May.
Already four townships have endors
ed resolutions, to 'be read at the
County Council, protesting any such
contemplated action on the part of
the government, and several other
townships are expected to forward
similiar resolutions within fhe next
week or two.
The four municipalities which have
gone on record against any proposal
to abolish the county councils are
Stanley, Hay, 'Stephen and 'Goderich
townships, and copies of their reso
lutions have been forwarded to the
county clerk. After they are pre
sented to the County Council there
is a possibility they will be sent on
to Premier Hepburn.
Where the rumors originated that
the government was considering a
jnove to abolish the councils is not
by any means certain, but the feel
ing in Huron County is virtually
unanimous against the idea,
generally felt in municipal
that any such move would

everything they asked for.
