Th
THIS COMING SATURDAY
night is an occasion for going to
bed early . . Yes, one hour extra
slebp is being given us willy-
nilly . . . and those who wish to
really get caught up on• rest, can
do 'so with ease . . . The extra
• hour bonus is the result of the
end of Daylight Saving Thne . . .
and church services will all be
held:just that one hour earlier .
until the next onslaught of Day-
light Saving hits us, probably next
w di d ,
WHEN THE STATISTICIANS
responsible for Daylight Saving
Time are, computing the number
,f Man-hours saved because every-
befily has an extra daylight hour
for gardening .1. . let them offset
these hours with the great number
lost by editors who must sit and
figure out whether the hour is
Ee:Ines,1 or lost . . . and should
their subscribers set their clocks
en or back . . . And also they
;should discount the hours lost by
Merl:vie who do the wrong thing
with their clocks , Methinks the
two would just about balance . . .
ONE, CHURCH GROUP TIIAT

their seventy-fifth anniversary for
next Sunday. . . Holmesville Un-
ited Church will celebrate 75 years

much goes wrong with the clock -

folk atillolmesville with their an-
niversary. . .
WET, WET WEATHER A1mR
thatglorious Monday and Sunday
arejust a little liithard to take...
however, in the midst of all that
rain on Tuesday, we received word
of the thoughtfulness of some of
the human race ... and the whole
world brightened rather wonder-
fully. .'' The following letter was
received by Lorne Brown Motors,
Ltd. from the Profile Information
Bureau, Franconia, New Hamp-
shire . . .
"Gentlemen: This 1tey was pick-
ed up near the information bureau
in Franconia. Since the key ease
giveS your _name I am sending it
along to you. If any of your elas-
tomers have been travelling in
New Hampshire this summer
(late) maybe you could ask them
If they lost it. Good luck with it,
anyway! Sincerely, Marguerite
Stevens."
And of course, the car key was
sent along, too. There will have
to be a good bit of research done,
to see whose car the keys belongs
to . . but at any rate the key
has returned to the dealer,.: . Has
anyone been traveling in New
Hampshire . ato k`lanconia...
OUR CURIOUSITY IS BEING
taxed to the extreme... The other
day an envelope from a business
firm arrived in our office . . . and
it bore the regulation stamp of
five cents value . Postmark -ed
in Montreal ... duly delivered.
But the envelope has absolutely
nothing inside . Now what has
happened. . Was it a huge full
page advertisement that someone
wanted published in the News -
Record? Or was it an announce-
-•-•-rnent-of some,' very4mportant• dis-•
covery or other? Or (more prob-
bably) was it a bit of free public-
ity whith would have lahded in
the waste -basket anyway? We
will never know . . Meanwhile
the envelope sits there and prac-
tically screams . . . Curiosity may
not pay . . . but having one cer-
tainly uses up a very good part of
the day • • •

That Fault
Bragging isn't considered to

"Clinton is bigger and more im-
portant than expected," an Ot-
tawa correspondent wrote recently.
In his colUmn, 'Cross •Town",
Austin 1'. Cross, reports on a tour
of this area. Travelling north •
from London on Highway 4, Mr.
Cross noticed the well dressed
farm people in their good cars
who were attending the decoration
service at St. James' Anglican
Cemetery, near Clandeboye. Be
found the cpuntry homes big and
spacious and well, kept up, and
decided that these farms are as
fair as the Garden of the Lord. •
•The uprto-date Centralia airport,
with its sWirnming pools, handsome
churches, deluxe recreation halls
and,officers' messes leave ,the idea
that the hardships of air force life
must all be in historY.
He noted •that Exeter was
"worth seeing" and that -the "toWn
exudes prosperity." •
Mr. Cross found the Clinton air
station equally impressive.
He felt as he travelled north on
the highway that, if appearances
count for anything,. everyone is
doing well. A success story un-
folds with every mile, every farm
yard, every attractive home.
Cutting across from Clinton, Mr.
Cross travelled over the Bluewater
Highway which he described as .
the proverbial tourist race tracic.
'Noticeable were the French
names on the mail boxes in the
St Joseph community. Down the .
road near Zurich the names were
presumably Swiss but actually
German.
He concluded his travel talk
with: "I still say yoll can't heat
Ontario."
