Believe It Or Not I The following clipping from a newspaper just reached us. If any­ thing, it proves that they should have left well enough alone. “Our paper last week stated that Mr.'John West is a defective in the police force. This was .a typographical error. What we" meant to say was that Mr. John West is a detetcive in the.police farce.” Committed to Stand Trial Mrs. Mary Stroh, 66-year-old gray­ haired widow of Philip Stroh, who was murdered with an axe on Easter Sunday, 1934, was committed to stand trial on the- charge of murder by Magistrate F.

EAST WAWANOSH CLERKJHONORED Presentation to Mp. and Mrs, Alex. Porterfield, In honor of Alex. Porterfield, Clerk of "East Kawanosh, and Mrs, M Por­ terfield, the Council of East Wawa­ nosh, many ex-reeves and ex-coun­ cillors, officials of the township and a large number of raepayers gathered at the Foresters’ Hall, Belgrave, on Wednesday evening last week. It was a pleasant occasion and testified to the high esteem with which Mr, Por­ terfield and his wife are held by the people of the Townsip. It was at the first meeting of the Council board in 1907 that Alex., as he was popularly known to all, was chosen Clerk of the Township. Dur­ ing his long term of office he had never missed a meeting of the Coun­ cil until the June session when he was granted leave of absence in or­ der that he and Mrs. Porterfield might take a trip to the West and the Pacific coast. On their return from this most pleasant vacation this surprise meeting was held in their honor. Prior to Alex.'s appointment as Clerk his father served the muni­ cipality in the same capacity for 35 years. Thus for 65 years father and son have sat at the board giving ef­ ficient service. Reeve Peter W, Scott was chair­ man .and in his address gave a brief but interesting account of the Coun­ cils of the Township and the progress that has been made within the town­ ship. He told'in most complimentary terms of the efficient, faithful service Mr. Porterfield had given and- is giv­ ing as Clerk of the Township. In the matter of municipal law, the ReevC' said, the Clerk has a wide and' effic­ ient knowledge which has been of great assistance to the various Coun­ cils of" the Township that have car­ ried on the affairs throughout the years, The presentation was made by Councillor Harvey Black and Mrs. Black. Mrs. Porterfield received a beautiful’ mirror and Mr, Porterfield a handsome pen and pencil set. The Reeve gave the presentation address. Mr. Porterfield, in his reply, thank­ ed the Reeve, Councillors and offic­ ials of the Council for their kindness and tangible expressions of same. He told of his work as Clerk and said that the taxes at the time of his ap­ pointment (1907) were in total exact­ ly what the county rate is for this year, 5 mills. Mr. Porterfield also gave a brief report on his recent trip to the coast. He told of the beauty of the mountains and the condition of the crops out West which even in June were badly in need of rain. He told of the relief problem in the West which is much greater than here. In Edmonton there are 20,000 on relief out of a total population of about 70,000. During the trip Mr. and Mrs. Porterfield met many, from Huron County and the names were familiar to many in the hall. He said that the crops here were better than he had seen anywhere throughout his trip and that although the trip was a most pleasant one it was good to be home in Huron County and East Wa­ wanosh. Others who spoke were ex-Rceves R. H. Thompson, W. J. Parks, W. J. Currie, Robert Coultes; ex-Cotmcil- lors Geo. Robinson, W. G. M. Reid, F. Campbell, Adam Robertson, W. W. Strachan; Councillor Redmond, As­ sessor W. Wightnaan, Road Sttpt., S. McBurney, Rev. Townend and others. All .were high in their praises of Mr. Porterfield’s efficiency as Clerk and hoped that for many years he would be spared to carry* on in this capac­ ity. A splendid program interspersed the speeches, solos by Harvey McGee, piano and violin selections by Miss L. Herrington and R, R, Redmond and a solo by Miss Ruth Strachan. The ladies served a delightful lunch which brought this very pleasant ev­ ening to a close, Prior to the presentation the Coun­ cil held a special meeting at which they passed a motion extending sym­ pathy to Councillor J. Dustan Bcc- croft, whose mother, Mrs. Wm, Bee­ croft, who was a life-long resident of the township, passed away on Tues­ day of last week.

We hope your voyage across the Pacific may be calm and pleasant and yotir journey up the Great River into the heart of China may be as' free from danger and delay as possible. We hope you may find the same joy in your work of building and equipping Hospitals and training the young women of China in the art and science of nursing. We hope you may see the fruit of your labours in abun­ dance and that your efforts may be crowned by raising up a staff of nat­ ive women qualified to carry on the work which you have begun of bring­ ing help and skill to the sick in the name of the Great Physician, Who when the people of Palestine brought their sick to Him—He healed them all. And when this term is over and your next furlough arrives wc hope to welcome you back to your home town and to a place among the” friends who know you best. And through all the vicissitudes and trials that lie before you in these next five years—may God be with you till we meet again. Signed on behalf of the congregation. Mrs, W'. J.
