'Wide in the high standing

il circles, as revealed by the
rice 'which was received for
.1.00/1 'debentures in a recent sale.
issued to finance a portion of
Vie newCourt House, the three
per cent debentures were aold at
fit. According to provincial of-
iaJa, the terms were believed to
`)lave been the most. advantageous
any obtained by any municipal-
ity
in Ontario this year.
Terms such as these do not just
happen. They come about be-
cause of the high regard in which
Huron credit is held by financial
'institutions. And this high re-
gard, in turn, flows from the man-
ner, in which Huron finances have
been managed over the years.
This enviable result eome,s a lout
ibecause of the common sense and
objective approach which members
of Huron County Council ' have
adopted through the years, and is
a reflection of the tonaistent and
considered guidance which Coun-
cil has received from its Treas-
urer. .. .
To those in authority who wquld
eliminate or further reduce the
powers of County Councils, this
Huron experience should be a
lesson.
TO GET OR TO EARN
Probably there never was an age
as security -conscious as ..our own,
nor yet one that. was less secure.
From without there is the threat
of aggression, from within the still
more deadly threat of a breakdown
in our own respect for law and
order. Lawlessness. is growing,

particularly among the young, who
have been taught that they should
lime' soft and live well. We are
surprised at this manifestation of
a 'breakdown . in moral fibre that
we thought was beyond attack. We
are talking all the time of what we
should get, and it is small wonder
that youth should forget that what
you get must be earned. If you
want more, earn 'more. There is
no, end to opportunity for the irtian
who wants to earn, no end to the.
possible hazards of those who only
want to get.—J.L.R.

some advice:
Unless ithe hunter wears vivid
colored Clothing he becomes indis
tinguishable from the prey being
hunted and the' trigger finger of a
fellow hunter often reacts before
his sense of sight. Bright scarlet
or yellow cap and wearing ' ap-
pearel distinguishes the hunter
from the prey. His handkerchief
also should be red because a flash
of . white _handkerchief may be
mistaken for the tail of a deer.
Although the..hunter may `travel

become separated from his com-
panion and lose his bearings,. The
smapt hunter always carries a• map
of the area, an accurate compass

all three.

Knowina ail this, appreciating a background not untouched
with personal heroism, and scenting that, perhaps, it was now or
never for this ` quiet man. his final victory in a long, bitterly -
fought meek was greeted by a most extraordinary scene of
genuine tribute and congratulation.
Here was a man who had overcome all the vicissitudes of
fortune to beentpe champion. Six times in nine years Drobnv
tiad .reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon. And at this, his
third final. he was champion at last. So, even though he had
defeated a Britisher to acliieve the . goal at last, sporting Eng-
land rose to give him a tremendous ovation.
The self -exiled Czech, now a naturalized Egyption but mar-
ried to an Englishwoman and living in England, had everybody
but the most loyal Australians on his side. Even the Duchess
of Kent told him as she presented the glittering silver challenge
