It's Best At Home
They serve it up a dime a cup in the
lunchroom at Union Station. It comes in a
thick green cup with a handle, that's so small
you can't get your finger through it, and it's
either too hot or too cold; 'the sugar is in a tall
glass jar that pours too fast, and the cream is
already in, -- but it tastes pretty good.
The white -coated mess -boys serve it up
at more than twice that price in the white
covered tables in the dining car. Here it comes
in slightly thinner cups -of regulation white with
the CNR design — and the sugar is in a shiny
silver dish, and there are shin Y silver tongs for
lifting it with — and the cream is in another
shiny silver dish, and it really tastes prettY
good, at that.
In the big hotel at Vancouver it comes at
varied prices, and it's sometimes cold when it
arrives. But it is fairly good there, too.
For really good coffee — at a price every-
one can almost afford — there is hardly a
better place than in the restaurants here in
Clinton.
If it comes cold, here, you can always
raise a row with ,the waitress, and she probably
won't do it again for a week. And if she puts
the sugar and cream in for you there's a chance
of influencing her to add more or less as you
require. There isn't a great deal that can be
done about the thick cups. They seem to exist
everywhere but right at home.
After all, there is absolutely no better
place in the world than coffee served in your
own kitchen, with the rest of the pot-ful just
Yea, your "Home Paper With the News"
is again ,a prize-winning newspaper. Two years
ago, in 1953, the Clinton News -Record placed*
third in the competition for best all-round news-
paper in towns with 1,500 to '4,000 population
in Ontario, Now the paper has tied for second
place in a Canada -Wide competition among
weekly papers with circulations of between, 1,000
and 2,00b for best all-round paper. Also_ the
News -Record has been adjudged in third place
for best editorial page, and has tied for third
place for best editorial page.
Of course, we are all very proud of the
paper for 'winning these awards, because there
are about 45 papers in 9anada competing for
the honours. '
HoWever, we are well aware that these
successes are not due alone to the office and
back shop staff. A great deal of credit goes
to all of our correspondents -- , one of whom,
(Lucy Woods, Bayfield) is Champion Ontario
Country Correspondent this year. — and all of
the other ladies and men who ,send in stories
for our pages help a great deal.
Without those dozens of folk who help to
swell our news voltune and give the blanket
coverage of the area which the readers want ---
the weekly paper would be a sad affair indeed.
- We would not forget the other dozens of
advertisers, both local and national, who recog-
nize the market which exists here in Clinton,
and are quick to tell their customers about the
many bargains .which they stock. They are the
folk who make the whole thing financially
possible not only by paying for advertise-
ments to tell the people about their product —
but by keeping the business world on its toes,
and progressive so that folk are interested in

waiting, and the cups just right, and the sugar
and cream the way you like them.
Maybe we're just very glad to be home,
That's probably the reason for this outburst
concerning the merits of coffee at home .and
abroad.
Of Pessimists And Pests
"The Traveller"
There are 'pessimists, there are pests. And
While both of these irritants burrow their way
into every segment of society, it is unfair' to
lump them together. Like all generalities
(including this one), such an appraisal would
be false. Each has characteristics which make
him undesirable, but it is important that we be
able to distinguish one 'from the other, for the
harm they work is our most formidable barrier
to progress.
First, the pessimist. Some call him the
worrier. He not only worries about his own
affairs, but about the affairs of everyone con-
nected with him. He assumes the responsibility
for the plans of his family, friends and -boss.
He takes their mistakes on his own shoulders
and spends a great deal of time staggering
around not in his own present, but in other
people's futures. Is it any wonder things always
look so black? At bottom he is lazy—too lazy
to think out the true values of facts and his
relationship to those values. He is selfish, too,
for everything is considered in the light of
"How is it going to affect me?"
The pest, though less subtle, is nonetheless
equally effective. He generally ,operates in
society's upper strata, but his virulence seeps
into every level. He is the cynic, limited in his
own capabilities, who finds his defense in being
offensive to everyone and everything that smacks
of non -conformity. Actually, in his sneering
approach to life, he is the true non -conformist.
He is incapable of conforming. The pest is, too,
usually a member of the intelligentsia. (those
educated beyond their capacity for learning),
whose light -tongued and light-headed witticisms
fall pleasantly on the ears of his listeners, On
those minds capable of „absorbing only half-
truths, he scores a victory. But in the face of
the whole -minded, enlightened by facts, the
pest's pronouncements usually collapse.
•
And so, in a sense, the pessimist, even
though he be recognized as one, provides the
most bothersome barricade to progress, whether
social, economic or intellectual. Since no one
likes to be laughed at, it is essential that we
recognize pessimists and pests for what they
are, or, more important, for what they aren't.
They are the prophets of doom—false prophets;
they aren't informed persons whose positions en-
title them to make clear-sighted predictions or
sound timely warninks. They are the ill-inform-
ed, the inadequate, the timid; they aren't the
wise ones, the capable or the fearless, as their
poses might suggest.
Finally, they are the ones who never
make mistakes. How can they? They are the
talkers, not the doers, and only those who 'do'
can err.

The headquarters of the British
and Foreign Bible Society in Lon-
don, England; was visited recently
by Russian .Churchmen while in
the 'United Kingdom. The deleg-
ation, which consisted of four dig-
nitaries of the Russian Orthodox
Church, two Lutheran:Archbishops
and two officials of the All Union
Council of Evangelical Christian
Baptists, were entertained at din-
ner in the Bible House on Wed-
nesday, July 13th. •
In the light of this visit, it is
of interest to recall some of the
highlights in the work' of the Bible
Society for Russia. The Society
was first permitted to help in the
spread .of the Holy Scriptures
within the Mission Empire 10 1806
For many years thereafter, it was
allowed to carry on a work
stretching from the Baltic to the
Pacific and from the Artie to the
Black Sea. The headquarters for
European Russia,' were in St. Pet-
ersburg, for Siberia in Ikaterin-
burg. There were also Bible
o Houses in such centies as Moscow,
Odessa, Samara, Tiflis, Irkutsk
and Viadivostock. Stocks were
kept in many bookshops. Colpor-
teurs carried the Scriptures to re-
mote areas and sold their sacred
volumes among crowds at fairs.
Throughout the Russian Empire
the Bible Society was allowed free
freightage on the railways and
ten free passes were presented
regularly every year for the use of
the colporteurs. At one time, the
annual circulation averaged 608,-
500 volumes in European Russia
and 70,000 in Siberia. Altogether,
in over 100 years, 23 million vol-
umes were ioliiitributed by the Brit-
ish and Foreign. Bible Society, 18
million in Russian, the remainder
in 40 other languages.
Today the British and Foreign
Bible Society (in common with
other Bible Societies of the world)
would rejoice to be of further
service to the people of Russia
by sending Bible paper for print-
ing, or plates or stereos or bound
volumes—whatever is needed and
whatever is permissible for the
extension of the use of the Bible
in the Churches of Russia.

DEAR SIR:
In the September 1st issue of.
the Exeter Times-Pidvocate there
is a story explaining the Depart-
ment of Highways' curious tired',
ice of using strew mulch in seed=
big along the sides ofhighways
and suggesting that this is a
very advanced and praiseworthy
technique. It also points out —
correctly — that in the last pro-
vincial election campaign I face-
tiously suggested that the straw
had been put along No. 8 High-
way "to cushion the butrips'.
What the story did not include
was ,the very pertinent informat-
tion that the bumps have not yet
•been cushioned nn that stretch of
road and-- mulch or no mulch;
advanced theory or no advanced
theory—no grass has yet grown
along the sides of the road!
What I predicted last May has
now proved true. Due to the dil-
atory, wasteful and foolish ad-
ministration of' our Department of
Highways still another •toUrist
season has passed and, in spite of
the fact that provision was made
in the March budget and our Con-
servative candidate made lavish
promises, the road. was not paved
this summer. They are just be-
ginning to get at -it now after an
entire tourist season has been
sacrificed.
If you'll pardon the expression,
Sir, Huron once more got the
small end of the stick!
That is, unless you consider the
glorious and costly spreading of
straw which, it turns out, doesn't
grow grass after all!
Yours faithfully,

We've heard a lot of recipes for longevity,
and about the only thing they bad in common
was the fact that they were all different. Just
about everyone who ever reaches7a hundred
attributes, the fact to a different reason.
Every once in a while we hear about some-
body drinking themselves to death at the age
of eighty-five or ninety. And then there's the
sober, upright and' industrious citizen's who de-
part
this life from a heart attack, aged 42,
Within narrow limits man can be respon-
sible for his' awn demise, but as .a general rule
there is very little he can do about 'it, on an
individual basis. Otherwise millionaires would
undoubtedly all be centenarians.
It's enough to ,make one a fatalist. -Which,
all things considered, it probably just as well.

USE FOR 12 CENT'S
Clinton News -Record
DEAR SIR: •
Recently in "The First Column"
you, mentioned finding a church
envelope with (12c) in Mission -
side of it. You asked, "What
could be' done -with twelve cents?"
Here's the answer:
I asked a missionary from
Mexico, what the cost of Jiving
per person for one week would
be? He said the natives could
live well on ten cents a day. So
the twelve :cents would feed a
hungryperson for tWo 'days or
possibly it could be ,stretched to
cover three days.
Glad to be able to furnish one
way twelve cents could be used.
