After the war and When the DumbMls troupe .disbanded, Mr. McLaren settled m Toronto Where he operated h!is own ad vertising busmess for 38 years. He retired to Benm'iller two years, ago but claimed he has beep busier since retirement than when he was working at his business. Besides writing- apd speaking, Mr. McLaren is a painter. and in 1967 he will be president of Huron County Historical Society. Lion John S. Parker who se cured Mr, McLaren as the guest •speaker, remarked in his .intro duction how lucky Huron County was to have such a tal ented man retire in this area. Mr. McLaren traded the Eng lish music hall style of enter tainment back to 1758 when, an Italian entertainer came to- England. This style wa^ pro minent in the English pubs, then in music halls and was the most popular style of English entertainment. The British Expeditionary Force sang the old music hall songs, and about this time the revue idea of songs, dances and humorous comment caught on. Mr. McLaren recalled being callqd into the office of the regiment’s commanding officer and requested to write and pro-, dude a show. The CO had re ceived a letter from a Mr. Ma vor who, had known McLaren in Canada and passed the word on that McLaren could write and had entertainment ability. The Mr. Mavor was a grand father of the present Canadian actor and producer, Mavor Moore who is the present pro ducer of the show, “Spring Thaw”. • , The speaker was thanked on behalf of the Lions by vice- president Ted v Davies, and on behalf of the World Wai- I vet erans by Joe Silcock.

The $315 cheque from Clinton and District Community Centre Centennial Fund for rent of Clinton Lions Arena fox* last summer’s series of bingos was returned to. the fund as a dona tion from the Dions Club. t Dion Clayton Dixon Who is attending university was made a member-at-large. George:- Lavis reported ^that- the Lions had made over $250 profit from the dance on No vember 11 and that the Lionel Thornton Orchestra had been booked for next fall, on No vember 17., The Lions Club is paying ren tal time at the arena for pub lic school children skating ses sions on Tuesday and Thurs day afternoons, . Stewart Taylor requested Lions to turn out at a work party at Clanton Legion Hall on Thursday, December 1 to pack candy for the Clinton San ta Claus Parade on December 3. The next Lions meeting is a ladies night on December 13. On, January 10 the Lions will celebrate their annual Robbie Bums night, i actual birthday of the Scot tish1 poet is January 25.

A few years ago the Ontario Federation of Agriculture had for its theme "The Challenge of Change”. This of course re ferred to the changes that were "taking, olace. in,, mfethods. of. farming. ' ’ How well' farmers have met this challenge is open to ques tion. Farming has certainly changed but it is very doubt ful that this "change” has im proved the lot of the farmer, in fact there are many reasons for believing that the changes that have taken place have low ered the farmers position in the economic ladder, Consumers are spending an ever decreasing percentage of their incomes for food and the farmer is paying out an ever increasing percent age of his gross income on pro duction costs. It seems to me that we have been blindly worshipping a “New” god. We have become addicted to the "New”. prOmo- ‘ i — New .tractors, New combines, New cars, New styles in clothing, yes! New break fast cereals, New detergents, New! New! New! until our • brains have become so befud dled that "New” and "better” are the same tiling. It just isn’t so! Let’s slow up a bit! It’s time we looked at new machines and methods a little more critically. Let us be sure it is better. Let us remember the "‘better” must improve the net income of the farmer. For example let us sup pose the old combine is wasting one bushel pei’ acre more than a new combine, but it will cost-. $3,000' to change combines. li the farmer has 100 acres of crop he will save 100 bushels, worth about $75, but the inter est on $3,000 will be at least ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mr, and • Mrs; Cornells Treffers, CJinton, wish to announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Alice Ann to Benhard GreydahUs, son.of Mrts.

What was he to do with a half ton of turkey and a kit chen full of salads and des serts? The turkeys were 'subsequent ly frozen for future use but the salads and desserts were thrown into the garbage — while a starving world walited .without.

Mrs. Jackman now holds the position of chief domestic en gineer in the Jackman house hold, but she is still an avid newspaper reader. She tells me she couldn’t help but think of the First Column as she read a column written by Sydney Harris and sent along- these clippings for our enjoyment: Perhaps the most precise de finition of a small town, re gardless of population, 'is a place where people wtith money have to go away to spend it the way they like to.

THE IN CROWD TEEN CLUB '67 FOUR IMPORTANT LECTURES EXPOSING ECUMENICITY AND THE NEW CURRICULUM AT Howick Central School on Highway 87, H Miles West of Fordwich Corner, on NOVEMBER 30, DECEMBER 1, 2, 3 8:30 p.m. Speaker: SAM MARTIN; Local Ratepayer "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” — Isaiah 8:20. 1 -Z DECEMBER 17th is the last date for local Christmas .$150. It is a better combine but- if it reduces the farmer's net income it is not better for the farmer, • * , Farmers are not the only ’ones -confronted • with the de cision of making a "change”. The1 Conservative Party appar ently has run into some really interesting 'probleans. There has been a great deal of publicity given to the problem of leader ship in the party but aftex’ list ening to the comments on W5, CTV, Sunday evening the mat ter of leadership of the Party becomes a secondary matter. The TV program made it. quite clear that the real prob lem is a matter of who shall shape the policy and control the actions of the Parity. It was quite evident from the state ments of those interviewed that they felt that the policy and control of the party should be in the hands of the federal members of parliament and their leadler. It was also made just as dear that Mr. Camp and the parity delegates were juat as determined that the members of the Conservative Party should formulate the policy and control the party. It was quite a revelation to me to learn that Mr. Camp and his followers were introducing a "change”. It makes xne won der what kind1 of Democracy; we’ve had for a great many years if our members of parlia ment are the "Boss” of the old parties. If Mr. Camp and his followers are overcome in their battle I would think they would find conditions much, more at tractive in the New Demfocraitic Party where the membership very definitely formulates the policy and the elected members are obligated to carry it out. We might look at another new method that has been in troduced. In order to combat inflation our present govern ment has refused to increase old age pensions and post-poned Medicare. Might nbt the old method as re,ported in October 13 issue of the Stratford Bea con-Herald in their 1941 column be better, "New restrictions oil instalment buying will cut down drastically on the "bxly-itoW- pay-later” idea.
