Being Distributed The ‘late ’Andy Clarke’s “Neighbourly News” broadcasts r over a period of eight years on the CBC network piled up over a million written^wprds of sheer delight to a very wide audience. These million .words have been raked and sifted down to 60,000 words for a book—'“Andy Clarke | and His Neighbourly News”— which lias been published by Ryerson ’Press In time to be a Christinas gift to someone in all the thousands of homes that were joyously invaded by Andy’s voice every Sunday morning for so many years. ' When Andy Clarke died, liis widow, Vi Dickens-Clarke, her­ self a newspaper woman all her life, determined that - Andy’s work in recounting , the humor and good-will of Canadian rural life, .should be preserved in a book. With the help of her friend, Mrs. May Holland Cox, an experienced author, Mrs. Clarke spent a whole year ex­ tracting from those million words of Andy’s 'filed manuscripts the very cream of the stories her husband had culled from, the weekly newspapers of Ontario and' Quebec. Last winter, she enlisted from -among the host of Andy’s friends in the newspaper and .radio business a committee consisting of Gillis Purcell, gen­ eral manager of Canadian Press, Dan’ McArthur of CBC, Frank Macintyre, of the Dundaly Her­ ald and Greg Clark of the Mont­ real Standard, and after a meet­ ing with Dr. Lome Pierce, of RyerSon Press, the task of as­ sembling these into book form was begun. Thoreau Macdonald was 'the artist chosen to illustrate the book with drawings for each chapter head. The’result is a book so essent­ ially Andy Clarke’s that you can almost hear the tone of his voice as you read j:he pages. All the greatest stories Andy told .are included in the book. The form into which it has been assembled is by months. Each chapter is a month of the year, from January to December, in which are group­ ed the choicest items .that Andy broadcast in that month during the eight years of his “Neigh­ bourly News” on the air. Greg (Clark hdss written an introduction in the form of a biography, the interesting story of Andy Clarke’s happy and friend-making life. One of the features of the book is the index which enables the old Andy Clarke fan to look up the tale of the piano-playing dog or hunter, lay. It is a unique book, euiquely constructed and certain to be an abiding•’sweet’,i?i&b5ory to a mul- totiide of people. The .Canadian Weekly .Newspapers Association which, with the CBC, was re­ sponsible for putting Andy Clarke on the air, is co-operating with CBC and the publishers in pub­ licizing “Andy Clarke and liis Neighbourly News” and steps are being taken . to make it easily available to all who desire copies for Christmas. The price is $2,50. I ■Hl' Week-end visitors with Mrs. Catherine Hedden included Mr. and Mrs, Verne Hedden and family, Mrs. Alex Shorthouse and Gweyn, Mr, and Mrs, Russell- Hedden, Messrs.

G« Ballantyne, Woodham Alvin- L, Harris, Mitchell Thomas Scott, Cromarty Secretary-Treasurer Arthur Fraser, Exeter Solicitors Gladman & Cochrane, Exeter The desire to succeed in life is natural and legitimate. If young people were without ambition the world would soon become like a stagnant "’'pool, breeding disease and death. The old say­ ing: “Aim at the moon and you will at least hit the tree tpps,” carried a wholesome suggestion. To aim at '’success is worth­ while provided we define the word correctly. Success and failure do not carry the same meaning when used by different people. Men’s standards vary greatly and what .looks* like success to some, by others wouJ4 be pronounced failure. Some men’s failures, judged by a high­ er intelligence and a greater understanding than we possess, would be Nearly two men within a another— the Apostle Paul. Nero possessed almost unlimited power. His command was suf­ ficient to bring about the exe­ cution of such men as Seneca, Lucan and iPetronius. With what supreme contempt he must have regarded such a one as Paul! But. the obscure and despised apostle has prdven the mightier of the two. Nero is but a name- held th dishonour—but that little man chained to a. Roman soldier bore a name which is grateful and lasting brance. After all, there can one failure in life and for a man not to be true to the best he knows—the best of which he is capable. When that has been done, there can benno fail­ ure. That was what someone has called “The success of the un­ successful.” When all accounts have been settled it will be seen that some men’s failures are im­ measurably better than other men’s successes. . s An able young journalist used to keep on the wall on his lib­ rary portraits of the richest men of his day. To him, they seemed great men, and they became his heroes; their careers fascinated him. Then as they died, one by one, he noticed that in nearly every case, their was a tragic story. Quite a large percentage ended their unhappy lives by an act of suicide. They were net hdppy men, nor were they re­ spected or laved. The journalist wrote an article on: “The Trag­ edy of Seeming Success.” He • showed that these men were nearly all failures. They had fully believed that the ac­ cumulation of v a s t s u m s of moneZand other material posses­ sions was the highest form of success. After all there is very little connection between riches and true success. He took the portraits down from his library wall. We hope he put some others there who had a much better idea of suc­ cess. We hope he put a picture of Socrates there. That great man cared little or nothing for most of the things upon which men set their affections; wealth, fame accounted success, nineteen centuries ago were living in Rome short distance of one ■the Emperor Nero and For a time *and worldly very simply needs to his how small it might be. We liope, nicest of all, that he kept before him, some sayings of Jesus about this question of success and failure. Here are some of them: “A man’s life consistetli not in the abundance of the things which lie possessetli.” “What' shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.” “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things shall added unto you.” 'This article is not written praise of poverty. We believe Dr. George Jackson once said, that it is the name of Jesus Christ that we fight poverty and hunger and all human misery. Personally we have never en­ joyed being liard-up and we feel sure others do not enjoy it. But we do need to get our ideas of success and failure straightened out and. to remem­ ber that the one perfect life that has been lived on earth was by Him who owned nothing, but the clothes He wore.

Secondly, there’s a limit to the amount of feed a bird can eat and digest in 24 hours. If the ration is stale or poor, your birds cannot eat enough to keep healthy and produce eggs. The result is that either egg production drops or health is impaired. So choose your feed carefully—a hen needs less of a high quality feed.
