The Clinton News Record, 1919-7-3, Page 5JOly 3rd 1919 Clinton N'ewfp-Record 5 Of Interest to You and Me The Germans have signed the Veaoe 'Treaty. The terms are not yet ful- .iiiled; however, . r • Toronto complained bitterly at mimes of its street ear service but .the citizens de not like doing with- out it, bad as it was. The Germans were much depressed ,by the Peace Terms. But, after all, .-could the allies havedrawn up terms which would have been acceptable to ,them. •.. Germany is now •at peace with the ..allies but it will .be some time be- fore relations win be cordial enough) to allow of them dropping in for af- ternoon tea at either Paris or Lon- don, 1 e �. The Peace Treaty was signed at Versailles on June 28th, the fifth au- niversary of the murder of Arch- duke Francis Ferdinand, which was .the excuse for the world war which lasted five years less thirty-seven •days. Though hostilities ceased, -whoa the armistice was signed in November last a state of war did :not cease to exist until peace was signed on Saturday. What are the principles of Liberal- ism, anyway ? William Proudfoot, M.P.P. for centre Huron, who has led the Opposition in the Legislature Icor the past couple of years, was de- posed from the leadership the other •day because he had exercised. the •+ right of his citizenship and support-' •ed the Union Government in the last Dominion election. The more one , sees of the working out of its prin- ciples the more convinced one becom- es that "Liberalism" is but a name. • . . A Toronto business man, an em- ployer . in a limited way, said to The News -Record the other day : "I can- -:riot understand what those .who are asking for a forty-four hour week •can be thinking of. Here we have a very much increased national debt, 'which must be faced and cannot be -seduced without the labor of the •,citizens, living is already so costly that it keeps most of •us busy to make ends meet and still some peo- ple seem to think the only solution • of our difficulty is in reducing the -output of our hands. If we had a working week of only five days the great majorityof the people in Tot onto would spend the holiday! thus .;gained in some recreation which would use up the earnings of another •day and would thus have only the ':earnings of four days on which to live. The way out of our dilliculties does not seem to me to lie in reduc- ing,our products but rather in in- creasing them." • . . The Flesberton Advance tells the 'following interesting bird story and, bating absolute faith in the veracity of the editor of The Advance, we'll .vouch for its truth : "The Advance was, told the other •day of a rather remarkable instance of the mother instinct in birds which occurred at this station. A robin had built ‘her nest in a freight car which stood on the track here and laid her • eggs therein. ,When the . car was moved out the bird went with it. The num- ber of the car was noted and some. time thereafter 111 was returned here and the young deserted their nest at the home station. Whether the C. T'. R. authorities sent the car back ,just to accommodate Mrs. Robin, or whether in the whirligig of railway traffic it just happened, we do not know. The facts are as stated and •can be sworn to by the employees -at Flesherton station. The birds were }ilatcited before they returned and the `another bird must have fed them as the car moved from place to place." !' Stanieg Township The following is the June monthly report of S.S.

The bearers were George Beatty, John Reid, William Rathweli, Wm. Reid, John Turner and Henry Erratt, The esteem - in which the deceased was' -field was shown by the large cortege that fol- lowed his remains to its last resting place in Bayfield cemetery. The ser- vices were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Aikens of Kippen assisted by Rev, Mr. Johnston of Varna. The friends from a distance were ; Mrs. Wm. Rider and son and daughter of Almont, Mich., and her nephews, Messrs. Jas. and Thos. Walker, Mar- lette, Mich., John Turner of Seaforth and Mr. Rufus Keys of London. The brothers and sisters wish to' thank their many friends and neigh- bors for their kindness in their hour of trouble. 4 News of ;Happenings in the Crountg and District Major R. S.
