Wingham Advance-Times Published at WINGHAM - ONTARIO Every Thursday Morning by ' The Advance-Times Publishing Thursday, August 27th, 1936 BRIDE WON BY MAIL ARRIVED IN MONTREAL on as in THE RELIEF PROBLEM Practically all serious-minded peo­ ple have 'much sympathy with the ,government in the matter of relief, but there is one side of this problem that the government overlooks that is tough on many men who do not want to go on relief. The present system will only sup­ ply jobs for those who are on relief M^nd the fellow who is struggling along, trying to earn enough to keep body and soul together, but who has not signed for relief, is sadly over­ looked. * That appeared to be the situation in giving work on Highway No. 4 -and it is no wonder some of our local residents were quite sore. . The man who is willing to do any­ thing to keep going and stay off re­ lief lists, deserves a lot of consider- •ation and if he had a steady job until the snow flies he would be set for most of the winter at least. To fur­ nish all work for those on relief and overlook this other good type of cit­ izen is a mistake. He should be en­ couraged. Work for only those relief rolls in such communities ■ours is not justifiable. * * * * "THE WRONG METHOD Rev. Allan FI. Ferry, preaching Davenport Church, made at that time er to a reporter, statements, which if -correct should receive consideration from the Government. Since he made these statements he and the Premier '.have had considerable chatter back .and fjorth and the Premier says that Mr. Ferry has ,not assisted the men whom he sent to interview him' and mow is considering a commission so that Mr. Ferry can be made to explain •further. One thing that we cannot under­ stand is why people who have know­ ledge of something that is wrong go­ ing on do not go to the autlmritm.- with their story instead of giving in­ terviews; or sermons that cause big headlines and warn any offenders to Be on the lookout. One would hesitate to charge the Reverend gentleman with seeking on­ ly publicity, but if he had considered his hotel and beverage room charges carefully he would have easily seen that by the method he used he would to a greater extent, if not altogether, defeat the purpose he had in mind. Co-operation is needed in cases of this kind but apparently this point was overlooked. * * * * WHAT NEXT? Berlin demanded an apology from Spain and rushes warships Spainward. Italy has 200,000 men playing at war games and her air force • poised. France and Britain would like to be neutral in the Spanish revolt, but are increasing all branches of arms. Pot- tugal is ready for a break-out. The Arabs continue their raids. Japan wants greater power in China. Can­ ada is a fine place in. which to live during these troubled days. * A doctor has been at Lake Huron to study the cause of the “fisherman’s itch” that has afflicted many bath­ ers. Some of us must be tough-skin­ ned creatures as we were not affected. * * * * Non-interference is the policy that Britain wishes in regard to Spain. So say we all. Let them scrap it out among themselves. * * * * Boy, oh boy, we had some rain last week. Following such a dry spell it was surely welcome.* * * The employees of the Dominion Ulass Company at Hamilton are on strike. That is one strike that should be easily broken. For The Best Eye Service CONSULT F. F. HOMUTH* • Ei/ &3i gh t S.p a si ali st Phon, lit H.rn.ton ■ < '.— If the evidence at the coal inquiry is correct the government would be well advised to grade coal in a sim­ ilar manner to that of butter. * * * * A baby in Honolulu has been given a name of 63 letters. It starts with K, and, no doubt, that will be its nickname. Some names thrust upon children when they are too young to object are pretty awful. * * * # Premier Hepburn states that there arc 13,000 people in our mental insti­ tutions and as many more on the waiting list. That statement gives plenty of food for thought. * * * * The news of the Spanish revolt gets first place in the' headlines but in Ethiopia there is still much fighting. * * * * The office of a^ chain letter gang was raided last week in Detroit. We thought that racket had faded out of the picture, * * * * Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Canadian Min­ ister of defense, called Viscount Eli- bank a “pereginating imperialist.” It sounded pretty bad but just means “travelling imperialist.” * * * * We can look after our own defense says our minister of defense. We have practically no army, very little air force and worse than no navy. Such confidence is more than many others enjoy. • * * * * Our exports to the United King­ dom for July were $16,000,00 greater than for the same month last year. Our increase in exports to the United States for the same month was about $1,500,000. Seems a difficult propo­ sition to do business with our neigh­ bors just to the south of us. * i * * * It costs 4% cents per meal to feed the prisoners in the Bruce County Jail at Walkerton. Such is inexcusable. * * * The Quints, who are get $2,777 a minute while on location. Not bad for five little kids who don’t know what it is all about. s|? 5|s sjj The person who put the “mad” in Madrid must have, had a great vision of the future. * * * * It will not be long until Prime Minister, Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King will sail with his delegation to the League of Nations Assembly at Gen­ eva. We wonder if they are going over to attend the funeral of the much criticized body. extravagance * some actors, HOWICK COUNCIL Fordwich, August 19, 1936 Council met in the United Church Flail, according to adjournment.

WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN To winnin on all fronts, as the Editur av all thim Wingham paypers. Deer Sur:— ‘Tis an ould sayin, an a thrue wan, that, whativer goes up musht come down, an, shure, it wus nivir thruer in annyting than it is in pollyticks. Fer the lasht two arr tree years thim Grits samed to be aftlier floying purty hoigh, an ye moight say, but now the tide has turned, an they do be about out av gas, an we see theer cars shtalled all along the road. Mebby ’tis mixin me mettyfers I am aftlier doin agin, whin thim Hoigh School byes are not here to chick me ■up, but aven so, it isn’t as bad a mix up as theer is out in Manitoba wid Grits don’t shtale theer clothes. I bet the same boat. Mishter Willis had more sinse than to let Mishter Brack- an drag him into a coalishun. The only toime whin Tories shud go in shwimmin wid Grits is whin they hev conthrol of the wather, and -whin theer do be enough av thim so that a guard kin be set to watch that the Grits don’t stale beer clothes. I bet that befoor he nix elick'shun in Man­ itoba the Soshul Criditers won’t lave thim Grits wid annyting but theer shwimmin soots, so they won’t. But, link av the thrinunin we do be jist afther givin thim Grits in Que­ bec Prawvince, shure, it musht make thim Ontario Grits trimble in theer shoes, vis, an thim lads at Ottawa as well. Av course thim Grits do be purty thrickey, but they will hev to git >up purty airly in the marnin to bate us Tories fer skamin, so they will. We are the byes that know whin to shpake, an whin to kape slitill, at laist the ould toimers loike mesilf, but I am not so sure av a lot av young fellahs who do be gittin on the pol- lyticklc platfoonns these days, but, av course, the grits hev the th rubble.

Yours'till the iiixt toime, Timothy May. ronb Kellogg’s All-Bran Helps Miss Hanson Read this enthusiastic, voluntary' letter: “Just a line to let you know how much I appreciate Kellogg’s All-Bran, I was troubled with constipation.* I asked my doctor what to do. He said to eat bran. “I tried other brands but they weren’t so good, so I tried Kellogg’s All-Bran, and it is just wonder­ ful. It makes delicious muffins* too.” -— Miss Agnes Hanson, (ad­ dress upon request). All-Bran provides mild “bulk” — missing in the average meal. This delicious cereal also furnishes vitamin B and iron. The “bulk” in All-Bran absorbs moisrbure, and gently exercises and cleanses the system. It is often more effective than that found in, fruits and vegetables, as it does not break down within the body. All-Bran also supplies vitamin B and iron. Isn’t this natural food pleasanter than patent medicines? Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily. If not relieved, see your doctor. Sold by all grocers. All-Bran is much more effective than part-bran products. Made by Kellogg in Lon­ don, Ontario. ★Constipation due to insufficient “bul/c,f in meals. SOUFFLES ARE PUFFED UP By Betty Barclay Souffles are aristocrats, but really, the literal translation of souffle is “puffed-up.” Nevertheless, uppish as they try to be ,souffles are very de­ licious and delightful to serve when guests are being entertained. Try one of these recipes and see for yourself: Corn Souffle Mix in a saucepan two tablespoons' of flour with one tablespoon melted butter. Pour in slowly one cup of milk. Bring to the boiling point. Add one can of corn, one teaspoon sugar, one teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and the well-beaten yolks of two eggs. Fold in the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff. Then turn into a butter­ ed baking dish, and bake for thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Serve immediately. Parsnip Souffle Cook four medium-size parsnips in boiling water until tender. Remove, skins .and rub through a colander. Mix together one teaspoon salt, one- eighth teaspo’bn pepper, one teaspoon sugar. Add to the parsnips together with one tablespoon butter. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, stirring in two tablespoons flour and one cup milk. When the mixture is thick and smooth add nips, together with the well-beaten eggs. Beat the eggs until stiff and mixture. Place in a well-buttered bak­ ing dish and bake for 25 minutes in a moderate oven.
