There was one observant reader and it was not until we received his letter that we were aware there has been a mis­ take. The paper was dated 198,3. His letter is as follows; Crediton, Ont., August 18,1938 your To the Editor, The Times-Advocate, Exeter Dear Sir: Let me commend you for courageous move, that being in de­ ciding that this world and time were too slow for present needs and thus making the year 1983. I heartily agree with you that time is too slow and I hope that editors follow your worthy, example. Why if all the editors decided it was 1983 it would be 19813. However I can’t figure out why you increased time by only’forty-five years. Fifty would have been bet­ ter 'don’t you think? >One mistake you make was in the 15 years ago column, 15 years from 1983 would be 19 6(8i and you have it printed as 1923. This is only a small mistake however and people will understand I that. I feel much 'Older now in fact I would be 62 but we can forget that part of it. What makes me happy is that in one week we have passed through forty-five years without one war, accident, death, flood or any other disaster. In fact exactly nothing happened in forty- five years. I am glad to see that the Advocate has not ehanged in all this time and all my grandchildren are now reading it on my knee. Of course I would never think that your type-setter made a mistake.

Campbell Sr., 'home here, probably owe their lives to the fact that Mrs. Campbell Jr., was awakened by smoke on Sunday night last. Arous­ ing her husband, he found fire had broken out in his furniture stored in the basement. Other occupants of the household Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Sr., and several small children, all of whom had retired for the night, were forced to make a hasty exit from the house. Mitchell firemen extinguished the blaze with chemiicals but the stored furniture will be a total loss, while smoke caused heavy .damage to the home itself.’ Cause of the blaze is unknown.
