This is done by means of a sand pipe. It is lowered into the hole and an inside valve shuts off the water. Then when it is brought to the surface and lowered to the emptying chute the valve releases and out pours the water and mud from the bottom of the hole, This is repeated two or three times and then the drill is again inserted. This work is also taken care of by means of the winch so that there is very little hard labor and lit­ tle time lost, It is quite an interesting thing to watch but those who intend to visit the scene of operations should make sure to take along an old pair of shoes.

We hope that Mrs. Tom Taylor will soon be able to get around again. Mrs. John T. Currie is visiting in Clinton' with friends this week. On Friday night of last week the Young People’s activities in the community began with a big outdoor rally. There were about 50 young folk present present. The earlier part of the evening was given over to group games of various kinds un­ der the leadership of Mr. Gilbert Bee­ croft, Miss Lettie Pearce and Rev. J. B. Townend; the games were held amongst the trees by the riverside some distance north of th Tenth Line bridge. Later in the evening a camp fire was lighted in a clearing sur- ounded by cedars, while the fire burned through the group gathered around it for a sing-song. When the fire had passed the blazing stage weiners and sticks were provided and a weiner roast followed, these with a plentiful supply of buns and coffee made an appetising repast. After the lunch a brief devotional service ENVOY TO HITLER Sir Neville Henderson, British am­ bassador to Berlin, waited in Nurem­ berg Sept. 10th for a courier to bring him the decision of the British cabinet to deliver to Hitler. to the gate to stop. In the summer­ time the gate sags dejectedly for days at a time, and then suddenly it will swing in its correct and proper way to the astonishment and surprise of everyone. In the winter they swerve down and when melted snow freezes, the gates are certain to be frozen in­ to it. Chopping into the ice, it’s so easy to smash the gate. I always in­ tend fixing that gate, but never get around to it. The windows in the cow-stable need fixing. I know just as well as anything that the lights in the stable should be replaced now before the cold weathei- sets in. 'In fact about this time every year, I go and look for the windows that I bought a year ago. Usually something has been set on the parcel and they’re broken. I get up enough ambition to travel up to the village and buy a new set, and then bringing them back, set them on the window-sill. As soon as the first skiff of snow comes, the glass will be forgotten and gunny-sacks will be stuffed in the broken windows to keep the snow from drifting in. Up at the house there’s the back door of the wood-shed which has an invalid lean on it. The hinges are pulling away from the jamb, and the door has to be pulled and jerked and tugged, at before it will fit into place at all. The .handle is loose and the catch is broken. Everyone tries to come in the side-kitchen door in the winter time to escape the ordeal of trying to close that door, but some­ times you can’t escape, such as when the wife has scrubbed the floor. I must fix that door. It’s the little things around Lazy Meadows that are the hardest to do.

In his speech mention­ ing Czechoslovakia openly for the first time at the Congress, Goering declared it was “intolerable that this people without culture should be able to conduct itself thus toward a civil­ ized people.” AFTER HARVEST CUL- . TIVATION WILL CON­ TROL SOW THISTLE Is Cheap and Most Effective Method of Control, States J. D. McLeod of Ontario Department of Agriculture After harvest cultivation is the cheapest and most effective method of controlling Perennial Sow Thistle, states J. D. McLeod of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the On­ tario Department of Agriculture, in an interview this week. “The creep­ ing rootstalks of the Perennial Sow Thistle are at their weakest stage right now,” said Mr. M&Leod. “Heat, sunlight and dry weather are our best partners.” Mr. McLeod advises deep plowing immediately after harvest. The land should be allowed to dry thoroughly for two or three weeks without cul­ tivation. It is pointed out that surface soil is separated from subsoil; mois­ ture is cut off and rootstalks are hol­ low and milky and cannot stand heat (Clinton News-Record) ■ The drillers went into action and are now working steadily in yellow clay having reached a depth of about sixty-five feet. It is reported that ov­ er six hundred people took advantage of the holiday to visit the site and watch the drill in operation. The huge derrick is visible for a considerable distance and now that the drill is working one can see the reason for the structure, Situated at the top of the derrick is a pulley wheel which operates the large rope attached to the'drill. The rope is op­ erated from a winch and as the drill gets deeper is gradually let out. Rea­ ching to this is another rope attach­ ed horizontally, which gives the drill the up and down motion supplied from the motor driven wheel in the form of a half turn. The drill appears to be a large pounder with a single groove on each side. This is attached to a large iron shaft possibly twenty feet long. At various intervals water is poured into the cavity to make the work of the drill easier and also to facilitate Special Bargain EXCURSIONS TO ALL STATIONS IN WESTERN CANADA Going Dates DAILY SEPT. 24 TO OCT. 8 Return Limit: 45 days.

Mr. Reid Vipond of Queen’s University, a student for the ministry of the United church, gave a talk on, “Youths who have gone astray,” based upon studies carried out this summer in one-of the Amer­ ican Reformatory Institutions. Mr. Townend followed with a discussion of plans .for a Young People’s Soc­ iety in the community for the winter months, the prosposals are for a soc­ iety for all who have finished1 public school education with a program that will emphasize the needs of the later teen age years—the meetings will probably be held in homes East and West of the church alternately. An organizations meeting will be held in the home of Mr. Thos. Robin­ son on Friday September 23rd when details will be discussed more fully and officers elected. Rev. J. C.

Serivces will be held at 1100 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. As Sandy was strolling along the banks of the river he came across an English visitor fishing. “Mon,” he said, “ye’ll no catch ony fish there. Ye’ll hae tae gang farth­ er up till ye come to a guid place.” “All,” said the visitor, “but how will I know when I come to a good place?” “Hoots, mon,” said Sandy, “ye can easy tell a guid place by the number o’ empty bottles lyin’ aboot.” PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J, Boyle “FIXING UP” This is September, the month of chilly mornings and the time when you make resolutions to fix every­ thing up around the farm. I was just taking a ramble around this morning before breakfast and I noticed a few of the things that I’ve been going to do for a number of years. First of all there’s that combined stone-pile and junk yard down in the east end of the Orchard. It started by some of my ancestors dumping stones there, and I followed suit by adding everything that I intended to draw away. Gradually it began to pile up and an old roller and a culti­ vator past Usefulness were added. Ev­ ery year I take a look at it and deter­ mine to clean it all up before the next year comes along', but somehow it al­ ways remains in the same place. There’s the south end of the driving shed, which has been moulting boards for a number of years now. On -the way up the laneway with the cows I deplore the condition of the driving shed, and resolve to get the ladder down out of the haymow and nail the boards back on, but somehow I al­ ways manage to forget it by after­ noon. Then there's the condition of the gateway. Gates are always a plain nuisance, sagging back and forth and never seeming to be in their place. Posts crack and hinges pull out of place, Latches seem to break and when the brakes don't hold on the ear, it's handy to run helter-skelter Tn* A* TWO FOR BROADWAY, ONE FOR HOLLYWOOD After a session in London, Beat­ rice Lillie (LEFT) is returning to New York for a show opening about Christmas time.
