Ah1 for Life in the Big City
You hear it every day, The people talking about their
friends in the city, The wonderful life they live. The good
times they have. The freedom from gossip. The opportuu-
itie$,
Last Thursday evening, forced by bad weather to
spend a night in Toronto, we sort of listened in on a con-
versation in the restaurant where we were eating a late
supper. Two business men, in the saute boat as ourselves,
Were bewailing their fate, tiow was one to get out of the
city with the fog so thick? What could you du for the even-
ing in Toronto, anyway? etc.
Prompted, by their complaints we set out to iind
just what one could do in Toronto on a Thursday evening
and we found that Wingham offers much more in the way
of entertainment, If you are not particularly interested in
a show, or an expensive night's drinking in one of the cock-
tail bars, there seems to be only one alternative—an expen-
sive night's sleep in one of the big hotels.
So—you drop in at one of these hostels and because
you have no baggage you beg for a room on your tended

Editorials are something like medicine. Unless the odd
one strikes you with a bad flavour they aren't uP to much.
Since editorial comment (the honest kind at least) springs
purely from the mind of the editor, there would be some-
thing drastically wrong if everyone agreed with every art-
icle which appears in this column. It has, indeed, been par-
ticularly gratifying, to have so many people comment
favourably on our efforts along this line; but it was with
almost equal satisfaction that we heard one of our readers
differing sharply with our views last week,
You see, those people who barely scan our words can
give us that much-appreciated pat on the back, but when
a person conies in to tell us how very wrong we are, it is
plain that he has carefully digested what we wrote. What
is more to the point, there is a good deal of common sense
in the objections this man raised, and at a later date we
shall present the views he supported.
Editorials, of course, are not written primarily to
convince the general public that the editor knows all anti
is always right. Their most important function is to make
the readers think—anti think deeply about those subjects
lo which we refer.
If and when you disagree with the opinions we express
human being in the same category, No body is paying any
attention to either one.
Irene Farrell, of Ripley, has cropped up in third plaCv
in the Ontario public speaking contest sponsored by the
Junior Farmers and junior Institutes of the province.
There is a very real value to these public speaking contests
and as proof of this stutement, just watch Irene, It is. a' safe
bet that a few years hence she will be ,an acknowledge,'
leader in her community, no matter where that may be.
Public speaking, for some unknown reason, breeds a defin-
ite sense of. responsibility to. 'one's neighbours—a whole-

ants hung them outside their stores
or on the telegraph poles adjacent to
them. Chickens were hung in pairs
—a fat one mated to a thin one—

say ,"passing fair"— just like hus-
bands and wives only in this case both
were chickens, 1. quite well remem-
ber buying geese at 5c a pound and
turkeys as low as Dc a pound and
chickens were 25c a pair, My pro-
cedure of choosing consisted of a
walk up one side of the street and
down the other — noting the birds
enroute and making mental classifi-
cations of them. With the exception
of paying no attention to their heads
I frankly confess I went in for the
joint Dinsley method of selection,
and in the main I was complimented
on my .choice; my father being kind
enough, in case the roasted bird was
tough tk) say while wrestling with a
stubborn joint "1 think this bird was
a Methodist,"
But, Styles and Keats, unless we
called on old J. B, Cummings on the
way front Bradley's. Opening the
door of his store a bell rang in the
kitchen and then one of his three
charming daughters shouted "Shop!"
and the 'one ncaret or most prepar-
ed went in to sell a new needle for
an old sewing machine. One day
when part of a new sidewalk was be-
ing laid in front of Mr. Cummings'
store several boys pawed iii the earth
as the old boards were raised, for
coins, and an odd one was found. Mr.
Sam Uracey came along and joined
us in the hunt for treasure and gave
evidence of practical kindness by slip-
ping several silver pieces in the loose
earth, for us to fumble for and re-
joice to find,

the sheets he slept in was amazing,
I remember the dog had a lump on
one leg and a tail no longer than an
extra sausage for an unwelcome guest.
I think the Dumions lived there too.
I heard they cleared out in the
night. Do you remember Wallace the
Jeweller (Scrimpy Wallace) some
called him—for why, I do not know-.
He wasn't scrimpy with me for he
gave me a clock for nothing—that
is if a clock is a clock without face
or hands. I icauced it to go and it
fed my chickens for me at 5 p. m.
That story will come in nicely when
we discuss the Wingham Fall Fairs,
Poor Wallace got quite a scare the
day we had the fire at the school.
He panted up the John St. hill and
arrived puffed out, for Elsie Suther-
land was his girl and Elsie was one
of the teachers, Fortunately enough
the fire did not reach the school pro-
per or 'elsie' friend Wallace might

when serious eyes harmonize with
those heroic words of strong affec-

darling" and next day Hubert Chis-
holm makes a sale.
In Dr. Fowler's Drug Store I first
heard the telephone. It was at night
and a long distance call to Harris-
ton. The result, as I recall, was fut-
ile; but the ring of the bell — the
wait — the,,tilence — the mumbling
—the tense `ekiiectancy and the dup-
lication of all this, inspired me with
awe and wonder. I remember a Mr.
Gordon had a drug store there later.
He had a sorrel horse. I think it
cost Jack Swartz $14.00 and Gordon
$75,00. They say linseed puts a sleek
coat on a horse. It's like that old
spavin cure — "Good for man and
beast." just as I think of it. You
know the old Post Office and the
Tamblyn Block across the street.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, on a. fine
summer night very late, I heard men
talking. I gut up and went to my
window above the Post Office. Three
men sat in a door-way. 1 knew two
of the voices. One was Ned Sherman,
the other Andy Murray. They were
discussing the power of the Almighty,
and in the uninterrupted stillness of
the night one man said "Well — but
listen to me, could God make a two-
year-old calf in ten minutes?"

be stated, the better team always
wins. I think there are a few flaws in
it, and with quiet, calm deliberations
I will try to disentangle the knot
which has this saying tied up with
strings of seeming truth. In hockey
the team that wins a game is the one
that scores the more goals. The bet-
terment of the winning team is thus
confined to its scoring attainment
and therein lies one of the 'flaws I
have referred to. Now I take excep-
tion to this method of according bet-
terment or should I say superiority.
While admitting that I can conceive
of no other way of apportioning wins
and losses than the one now in vogue
yet I cannot convince myself that
the ensuing verdict always constitutes
a "True Bill” in so far as betterment
is involved. Wins invariably count,
but betterment is an illusive thing
that almost defies determination and'
is subject to argument. For instance, ”

Durham team who won the game. In
all other departments Wingham was
much the better team. They outshot
Durham by a little over two to one
which signified they pervaded the
Durham territory for a long period
of time. They were there because they
were getting the better of their op-
ponents and keeping the puck there
though they utterly failed to drive it
into the net.
In the Saturday night game in Wal-
kerton, Wingham won by a score of
6-2, confirming the truth of the old
adage that the better team wins. Thus
of the results of the two games, one
supported the truth of the saying, the
