PAYMASTER OP 33RD
ARRIVES IN CANADA
Capt. C. E. Dowding., paym'aster or
the 33rd. battalion, is among the offi-
cers who landed from the Sicilian at
Quebec; last week. The 33rd paynaneer
bus been !seriously ill in the old coun-
try for some time, and is coming back
on • furlough until he recovers.
Capt.'Dowding's( home is in. 'Clinton,
He was an officer of the Clinton com-
pany or the 33rd Huron Regiment be-
fore the declaration of war and .was
appointed paymaster of the 33rd Over'
seas battalion, when that unit was or-
ganized.
HCBON COUNTY TEMPERA:NICE
ALLIANCE
A. .deputations from the Huron Tem-
peranoe Alliance waited upon the
Huron County Council at Goderieli,
asking the County 'Council to Assume
the responsibility for paymeint of 'a
special officer,. resident in the County
to assist in the inforcement oe the
Canada temperance ace and prohib-
ition.
•' Incidently some indignation was
expressed that the Provin.cial Govern.mnt should expect counties to bear
the expense of law ebrorcernent, when
the Goyernment demands part or the
revenue aocuring from fines.
The spokesmen of the deputation
ware Rev. E. G. Powell of Clinton and
A. T. Cooper of Clinton.
it was pointed out that Clause 135
of the Ontario temperance act, arid
a , siniliar section of the Ontario
quor aot, gave the county .council
Power to appoint an official such as
was asked for. The temperance ale
Hance bad maintained officials thus
tfar since the passing of the Canada
temperance act. '
When the complaint was Iodised
about the county being asked to bear
the ,expensos or law enforcement.
while the Clovernment demands part
of the fines tolleeted, the financial
committee of the council was instruct -
cd t, take the matter up tvithi the
license department, and get an
Olanation at least. The Government
has eatimeted the expellees to the
county' for law enforcement for the
coming year at 2,800. The Govern,.
Itnent appointes inspectors, ;and it
was urged that . it the county must
pay for them, the ominty should have
the appointment or thenli, •

Get Easy Fishing Chibl
has outing .at the lake
With a vivid recollection or some
of the thrilling tales as told by some
of ths members of the old lsaao Wal-
ton Fishing Club in its balmy day"
a new bunch ;known as the "Get EasY
Fishing Club" determined last Friday
morning to revive the sport and with
rod and tackle started in the early
morning just as the e'en was tipping
the eastern horizon for the 'beautii,
fed Dine waters at Lake Ffuron. One
dominant feature contrasted with the
trips of the old Isaac Walton was'
the evident satisfaction at which they
left eehind them the 'beauties of na-
ture 'net -even here arid Grand Bend
as they raised 'the dust by their mo-
tor -driven conveyance. as compared
with the lack of gratitude on be-
helf of the ()Id "Isaac Walton, with the
faith'fal old equines that used .to co-
ver the sixteen miles in something
like two and a half hours. Many of
our readers will recall the 'thrilling
interesting ,episodisi as told by N. D.!
liard.on. Alex Dyer. Alf. Walters and ,
numerous others but all pale into inel
significenee as compared with the
most interesting brie of chatter we
reiterated by the Get Easy Club.
Most fish stories read like fiction or
higbly Colored stories of a brilliant
imaginative mind but there is no
with or imagination about this trip
but like all. of Jack McLaughlin's
stories, are based on facts. The
boys brought the proof home .with
them in the shape of a bag full of
members of the finy tribe from the
perch family and many of their
friends appeased a whetted appetite
as they sat down to a meal of fried
fish patiently prepared by the good
woman or the 1101.150; La all eighteen
dozen were distributed to those ,who
were fortunate enmgh to Stand in
the good graces of the members of
the club. Fish were distributed to
them as freely as Sopars to the
friends or government agents in
war contractse Like • the Isaac Wal-
ton Club the members of the new club
should stand out with prominence and
