A LONG WALK
Mr. Fred Slotnan, who spent most
of the summer with a 'Chautauqua
company travelling in the United
States; arrived honie last week. There
is nothing strange 'about that, of
course..: He was bound to return
home sometime,' he always does re-
turn; vse hope be. always Will. . The
only curious thing about it is that
instead of arriving in one of Sir
Henry Thornton's palatial carriages
he came on foot, all the way .from
Chicago, a nice, sizeable little' jaunt
as anybody will admit Fred al-
ways had a "weakness" for walking.
IIe has taken some lengthy walks in
his day hut thisis the longest yet.
The following` story, which appeared
in Saturday's Free Press, tells the
reasons which • made him choose the
"long trail" this time.''"
"Fred Slonian, who arirved home
this week by train, from Lucan, after
walking from Chicago to Toronto and
back to the Huron and Bruce, ex-
plained to the Free Press to -day why
he walked and is few. of the incidents
he witnessed enronte. He was with
a Ohatitauqua trope the first of the
summer' and just took a notion to
walk ibaele home. School teaching
is his profession, but sometimes he
finds it dull., He served overseas
and doesn't hind wallring. In •fact
he prefers it to ether modes of travel.
IIe left Chicago the' 1st of 'August.
"I' air sorry," he said the The Free
Press, "that there is no mews interest
in pay little holiday jaunt from Chi-
cago. The simple fact is that I was
broke in a big' city. I didn't much ob-
ject to 'being broke, but 1' did• ob-
ject to staying a,: city. There was a
long friendly road stretching to Can-
ada, and'I knew from experience that
wherever there is a road yott will find
on` its course hundreds of princes' and
beggars in 'a11 sorts 01 disguises. '1
wanted to meet them, and I did.
"For the greater part of the year,
when' 1 have to bo respectable, I
make my living by teaching boys and
girls that six tunes seven is 42 or 43,
It is an awfully dull thing to tell
them and I want to be prepared in
case some day my young citizens
should rise in rebellion and ask me
pertinent questions as to why some
folks ride in cars and otliers walk, or
why it costs four tunes as much to
ship a potato as it does to grow it, or
why the people of Indianna imagine
Canada's chief industry is the manu-
facture of Bauer, or why church bells
do not ring as clearly as 10 days gone
by. These are childish problems of
some importance, and our books • do
not snake them extra clear. The kind-
ly road, and the men and women ih
the fields and. cars and streets snake'
than: clearer. Therefore I. walked

One drawbacic • to the success of
the school fair as ,far as Clinton is
concerned is that the exhibits are re-
moved as soon as the judging is com-
pleted, thus leaving no opportunity
for the people^to see what the young
folk have accomplished. Exhibitors
say that in the case of anything
eatable this is necessary, .as other-
wise it would promptly be devoured,
This is rather a serious state of af-
fairs and surely something could be
done about it. . Many would like to

The Free Press the other day had
the following, re Hydro for the vill-
age' of Bayfield
"Hydro may be extended to Hayfield
next year. Residents of that section,
as early as 1921 wentinto the ques-
tion and '52 customers signed con-
tracts; but 'because even that number
slid not warrant the construction of
a feeder line 12 or 13 miles long from
Clinton," the proposition' was dropped.
S. F. Glass, ex-M.P., for East Middle-
sex, has again taken the"'matter up
and he believes it is ,possible to se-
cure a sufficient number of custo=
hers to have the line constructed.
He is now in touch with the engi-
neers • of. the Hydro -Electric Power
Commission of Ontario with refer-
ence to, this question.
In a letter to. Mr, Glass, Engineer
J. J. Jeffrey explained that if about'
27 to 30 farm contracts .can bo se-
cured along the line between punt=
anis Bayfield it will be " possible to
.build the line under the Government
bonus pian. The total k.w. demand
represented' in the 52 contracts al-
ready signed in Bayfield is estimated
at 35. Mr, Glass estimated that at
least 25 additional customers -could'
now be secured in the village, thus
bringing the total k.w. demand up to
45 to 50. '
Mr. `Jeffrey further explains. that
the 'minimum .,requirements on which
a bonus for construction can be ob-
tained is 15 k.w. per utile. Thus, the
the J3ayfield contracts would warrant
the construction ofa line three miles'
long. But as Bayfield is at least' 12
or 13 miles from Clinton, where the•
feeder§ would commence, it would be'.
necessary to secure between 27 to 30•
contracts, in addition to those from
the
village.
Mr.'Glass believes it will be possi-
ble to easily secure. that number from
the farmers along the roads on which
the *feeder lines 'will be built. He is`
taking the matter up further and it
is quite possible that the contracts
will .be signed in readiness for con-
struction to be commenced next
spring
