Cornish Electric WEST ST. GODERICH -37 PAINT A ROOM THE ECONOMY PAINT FOR •EAUTIF.UL WALLS AND CEILINGS Annexed Area part Of . 'own Qfficially, 'On January 1, 1954 The area in Goderich Township recently annexed by the Town of Goderich will become officially a part of the town on January I 1954, according to -word receiver by Town Council last Friday night. A letter from the Ontario Muni - I cipal Board said that an order had been made on June 23 tp allow the town to annex the area. The circumstances surrounding the order, however, were some of the strangest in the history of the board, the mayor said. The town . understood from the board, the mayor said, that since the annexation application was not ,being opposed, no one would have to appear at the board hearing. So no one appeared representing the town. Then the town was not informed officially by letter from the board that the application was approved. So when the mayor was in Toronto recently he investigated, the cir- cumstances. Then the letter of official notice came last week. , Town Clerk S. H. Blake told council that provision was made in the board's ruling that rate- payers in the newly -annexed area would vote in the town in the forthcoming December municipal election. The hoard's order was filed by the couilcil. DOGS GET FREEDOM FIRST OF OCTOBER Here's some good news for dogs. Come October 1 you'll be able to get off that leash you've been kept on all summer. Mayor J. E. Huckins told Town Council last Friday night that the town by-law stipulates that a leash is not required, after the first of ICE,ONE EGG?

BFNMILLER WITHIN BUDGET Town Council got itself a pat on the back from one of its members, Councillor. C. M. Robertson, last Friday night. Councillor Robertson, . who is chairman of the council's finance committee told council that he was very pleased to note that all committees and other spending bodies in the town set-up were keeping within the limits of the budget. He said it was heartening to know that the council and other groups were not overspending their budgets and were triving to the best of their ability t keep within the bounds of financle. next month. But a dog tag is required, he noted, and ddg owners :should make sure their animals have them. The mayor noted. that although the dog restriction by-law perhaps - did not function perfectly this year,it at .least served to have most dog owners keep their animals tied up and "went a long way toward keeping packs of dogs from run- ning at large." • Bepr'epar.ed, for hospitality �..rM..,.d EM•I., of Co,. -C•4144 ,.•d,. «..uaa ..m.

TALL TALE The "Get Rich Quick" story re the cat ranch in the "On The Square" column of the issue of Sept. 10 brought back ,memories to Elmer Cranston and the days of his life on the "wild pra ee." 'He stated that, but for one' error, he and his partner would have been millionaires today. But, to let ' rmer tell the story: "In the de- ession years we had agents in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Ed mouton and Calgary. We collect- ed alley cats at five cents each and shipped them to our ranch at Prince Albert.. In the meanwhile we were. boar -trapping muskrats, sewer rats and barn rats to stock our rat farm. . . . For less than $2,000, and our summer work, We were in business with 100,000 cats and 50,000 rats.. The rats pro- duced faster than the cats and one fed the other, with practically no extra feed to buy. The first year we cleared $27,641.00 and had a gr wing inventory of catsis and rats. Bear in mind that we sold our muskrat skins at 75 cents to $1.25, as well as our cat skins for 25 cents. . . . But in the second year of the depression ;most of our skin- ners joined the bread and soup lines. We could hire no help. That beat us, so—we spent our roiits building cold ' storage plants tS freeze the catcaSses so We' would only have to pelt our animals twice a year. . . . To overcome. shortage 1 of help for skinning we purchased 10,000 snakes, hoping to cross them with the cats and rats so that they. would shed . their skins twice a year. . . The results were dis- astrous. The cats took to the trees and wouldn't come down. The rats took to ..the . water and wouldn't come up; and the snakes were so frustrated that they bit themselves and died of poisoning. We lost everything — from our skins out."

For the ast several wv!ks yourV has usttal- ly lasted throughout the morning and, following an adjournment for lunch, well into the afternoon. Only four cases were heard, three of them involving careless driving charges. The fourth case was a charge of false pretences against a London district salesman. Donald C. Young, of Byron, pleaded guilty to the false pre- tences charge and was given a six- month suspended sentence and ordered to pay costs. Immediately after court, he was held for Wind- sor police, who have a similar charge laid against him. Young was alleged to have issued a worth- less cheque to Mrs. Mary Rouse in Goderich last April 21. The court was told restitution had been made. - Two of the men charged with tireless driving pleaded guilty. Alan Peacock was fined $10 and costs or one week. He was driver of a car involved in a collision with a truck on No. 8 Highway just west of Clinton. Sidney Lee, of Gode- rich, was fined $10 and costs or 10 days. He was charged as the result of a traffic accident in Gode- rich on September 8. Fine of $15 and costs or 10 days was imposed on Howard Dayman, of Bayfield in judgment handed down by Magistrate D. E. Holmes, Q.C. The case had been heard several weeks ago. The accused also had his' driver's license sus- pended for a period of three months. MISSION CIRCLE The September meeting of the Baptist Mission Circle was held Thursday afternoon of last week at the home of Mrs. Bone, Britan- nia road, with a good attendance, and opened with a poem by Mrs. Raithby.

Mrs. Miller gave the study on nursing in missions in India, and Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Raith• by gave some interesting points from a recent address given by Rev.

LOOK FOR THIS "HIGH SION" OF OUALITY 4-36 NEWSPAPER IS ONE OF BIG- GEST BARGAINS So many readers take their news papers for' granted. They have become so accustomed to perusing them for the news of the day, etc., that, little thought has been given to the many new features and services that are added from time to time. Particularly is this so in regard to the extra costs of producing the newspaper to which the average reader gives little or no thought. C. Arthur Weis, president of the Ifistitute 'of" Newspaper Controllers and Finance Officers, declared at a meeting of the organization in Moo treal recently, that one of the public's biggest bargains today is the newspaper. He added that most newspapers, despite rising ;,costs that have in- creased the price of almost every other commodity in the last few years 'still sell below the actual cost. Mr. Weis pointed out that newspaper profits generally were declining. "Most publishers," he said, "were so public-service con- scious they often operated at a loss to serve their readers." The president . of.. the Institute of Newspaper Controllers and Fin- ance Officers told members that "self-preservation demands pub- lishers operate their newspaper on a healthy financial basis. Publish- ers ' must be more conscious of costs and e'ourses or revenue if they are to stay in business." The cost of producing a news- paper is something that the public is normally not aware of and can- not be expected to lie awake nights worrying about. When men, how- ever, like Arthur Weis -draw atten- tion to some of the publisher's problems, it should make the aver- age verage subscriber more appreciative of the responsibilities involved in ensuring the regular publication cf a readable and ipdispensable fam- I ily newspaper. - It should also help to re-empha- size the fact, if such is needed, that one of the public's biggest bargains today is the reading content of the newspaper. - .
