DR. JOHN W. SHAW
RECEIVES AWARD
FOR AGRICULTURE
Dr, John W. Shaw, one
Huron County's most wide
known' and highly esteemed res
dents, was signally honoured
an informal meeting • of
directors of Huron Central Aga
cultural Society in Barth
Thursday evening last when
was the recipient of a Deparmerit'smental certificate "for merit
ions service to agriculture" and
complimentary address.
A. J. McMurray, secretary
treasurer of the Society, read th
following address, and present
the diploma, signed by Preside
W. J. Dale and Mr. McMurra
"For more years than any o
us, you have been interested i
the life of this community, both
urban and rural. In spite of th
busy life you have led in you
professional capacity as town an
country physician, you have nev
lost your interest in fine animal
and their improvement.,
"You have served for many
many years, en the Board o
Management of our Spring Sho
giving freely of your experienc
in advice to our Board of Direct
ors. It is a great pleasure fo
us to know that your good wo
in agriculture finally has bee
recognized by the Department
Agriculture, and that you hay
been awarded "The Agriculture
Service Diploma for Meritoriou
Service to Agriculture" in on
province. It is' a sincere tribut
of appreciation for services we]
and truly rendered,' and we, you
fellow members of the Board, ar
truly happy to present to' yo
the award made by the Depart
ment. May you long be spare
to us."
In reply, Dr, Shaw recalled th
early days of the Society who
"we started without anything
and' ended up with paying ou
own way. Now everyone want
the Government to pay and the
takes away from those who are
running the show." He stated
that the Society got half fares
on the railways for everyone and
everyone attended. He was not
deserving of this diploma, he
stated.
Dr. Shaw recalled how the
Society got started 48 years ago
with Ephraim Snell's father as
first president.
W. J. Dale, president of the
Society, spoke in congratulatory
manner, and R. Gordon Bennett,
agricultural representative'for
Huron County, congratulated Dr.
Shaw in behalf of the Depart-
ment.
Others who spoke briefly in-
cluded W. L. Whyte, Ephraim
Snell, W. E. Perdue, Dr. G. S.
Elliott, Stuart McEwen, Jack
Clegg, Ernest Brown, Alvin
Betties, Jim Snell, E. 3. Jacob,
and R. S. Atkey.
Mr. McMurray stated that the
successful history of the Spring
Pair proved that if there is co-
operation and some work and
ingenuity, a fair still can be built.'
It paid out more money than
Stratford last year, and could
still go further if there was a
hall in the park. No fair around
has a better feeling with the
exhibitors than Clinton; it al-
ways has paid 100 cents on the
dollar.

Ingenious Mo
Finds Good
ther Racoon
SpotPerhaps
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
We liat+e'hbard of "Bats in the`
belfry" before this, but we have
not heard ofa racoon giving
birth to young in a chimney.
That is exactly what happened
at the home of ,Victor Falconer,
concession 4, Goderich Township.
Members of the family heard
noises in the chimney last week
and concluded that an owl had
gotten down it, but as nothing
seemedto interfere with draft
from the new furnace which had
been installed last year, they
did not' investigate.
Then one morning, Mrs. Fal-
coner entered the living room to
find soot all over the chester-
field end furniture. The cap that
sealed an old stove pipe chole
i o the chimne had
r
d been sh-
ed out and the wallpaper around
it was all torn, She cleaned up
the mess, doubtless muttering
imprecations under her breath
against that owl or whatever
had done` the damage. Next morn-
ing, there was the same disorder
again,
Mr. Falconer got to work to
oust the marauders on Saturday.
Imagine his surprise to find a
racoon and four little ones at
the bottom of the chimney. They,
had a nice warm nest in the pit
below the smoke pipe, thus nes-
sing all the smoke. The little
ones' eyes were not opened so
they were only a few days old,
and in the night Mrs. 'Coon
evidently had been exploring. If
she hadn't . done so, they might
have lived to a ripe old coon's
age.,
As it was, she and her family
were despatched to • another
world. Perhaps it was the need
of an incubator in this changeable
weather which attracted her to
the, chimney!
"I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVET,H"
•
(By Rev. Hugh C. Wilson, secretary, 'Clinton 'Council of
Churches and Minister of Wesley -Willis United Church.
Nineteen centuries ago in a despised corner af;: the Roman
Empire a little group of people with swollen eyes and broken
voices were discussing the collapse of `a great hope which
had lifted them for a brief period out of the monotony and
narrowness of peasant life, into the prospect of a splendid
future. But now their dream was broken. In a new made
tomb sealed with the official seals of the Roman Empire,
and guarded by -Roman soldiers was the cross -torn body of
the One who had planted this hope in their souls... Trembling
for their own safety they were waiting for an opportunity to
slip out of the city of their enemies and find -their way 'back
td lives of poverty and toil.
The Roman Empire with its vast armies is only a memory
now. The Jewish nation which crucified Him is scattered
through the world. The Name once so despised is now above
every name..' On Easter Morning tens of thousands of people
will be singing with a joy that defies analysis. Africans in
tiny villages, Indians in jungle clearings, Chinese 'in swarm-
ing cities, Eskimoes in the frozen north, South Sea Islanders
in blazing sunshine, five hundred million Christians will be
singing because nineteen hundred years ago, in the garden
of Joseph of Arimathea, Jesus the Christ, crucified by evil,
was raised by the power of God.
It was the changed lives of the early Christians that
carried belief in the living Christ to a hostile world. They
saw a new power at work among men and were forced to
the cgnclusion •that it did not flow from a dead Christ. A
living Christ could be the ' only explanation. Heroic lives,
transformed lives were the product of the rapidly growing
Christian Church. Tertullian wrote of this time. `Every
man who witnesses these transformations is struck with mis-
givings. He is set on fire to look into and find the cause
of it and when he learns the truth at once he follows it
himself." This is one of the strongest arguments for the
resurrection of .Jesus Christ.
This argument does not belong to the past alone, but is
a present day fact. The present life of Jesus, pushing aside
everything that opposes it, flooding human souls with its
divine vitality. is a present fact which we can study at first
hand. As we see Jesus lifting men above pettyness and
vanity, as we see Him taking the 'poison of bitterness from
those who have 'suffered great loss, as we see Him healing
the broken-hearted, giving courage to these who know that
the end of life is near. As we see Him lifting people up
out of bad and wasteful ways of life and making fine and
useful men and women of them. As we see Him stirring
men's hearts to their depths, We know that we are witnes-
sing the constant miracle of His deathless life,' I know, then,
that my Redeemer lives. He is Risen indeed. • .

grow their own coarse grains so
that they would not be depend-
ent on Western Canada. "Grow
your own oats and barley," he
advised.

sion in this country, so long as
we have good grain prices," he
said. "If wheat ever becks up
on us, then we are in trouble
and we have a recession right
away,"

meat industry, a big demand for

New Assessment
Up 50 Per Cent:.
Clinton's tax rate for 1950 is
47 mills on the dollar on the
new equalized assessment,
They new levy compares with
62 mills on the dollar in 1949
on the old assessment.
The new asessment is approx-
imately 50 per cent higher than
the old, so that the 1950 levy
represents an increase in dollar
value, as indicated by figures
published herewith.
One of the chief reasons was
the deferring of payment until
this year of the town's share of
the new pavements on the high-
way streets, completed last fall.
In presenting the budget at
Monday evening's Town Council
meeting, Ald. H. Hartley, ehnir-
man of Finance Committee, com-
mented that the committee mem-
bers had worked long hours over
the report and recommended a
levy of 47 mills, which would
produce a small estimated sur-
plus, all other things being equal.
A point still at issue is the fin-
ancial responsibility for the top
that must be laid on the base
laid in 1949 on Rattenbury-
Orange -Mary Streets.
He pointed out that the audit-
ors' statement for 1949 indicated
a surplus of $721.85. Details of
receipts end expenditures will be
published in next week's issue.
