Lots of snow and cold—grand for the kids and . those 'who like winter sports . . However we are get- ting to the age when we feel at times that we would like to hibernate for the next couple of • months like the bear and other animals .. Our cat, Pandora, has the same idea too, because ever since we moved she has .refused to put her nose outside the door And except for the middle of the night, when she gets playful and at meal -time, the remaining period she spends curled in a ball on an easy chair . Oh, to be a eat! s '1 * THIS is a good time of year, tho' to do a ,bit of reading . A good book is a cheery com- panion for a long winter evening . . The last group of books we brought home from the lib- rary were a mixed lot . One of these in particular made quite an impression on us—and not a nice one , . While looking over the non-fiction shelf at the lib- rary, we noticed a book by Louis Blake Duff, entitled "The County Kerchief"—a title which had no significance to us Now, we have known of Louis Blake Duff, by repute, for many years as one of Canada's outstanding after- dinner speakers and a favorite with such organizations as the Canadian Clubs and the Empire Club , Then several years ago The next meeting of the HURON COUNTY COUNCIL will be held in the Council Chambers, Court House, Goderich, commencing TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, at 2.00 p.m. All accounts, notices of deputations and other business requiring the attention of Council should be in the hands of the County Clerk not later than Sat- urday, January 13.

BEATTIE — McROBERTS Funeral Home x+4+4. 4-4+4.44. 4+444 we heard him speak at CWNA convention at Niagara Falls , He wee a decided hit before that most hard boiled of all audiences' —several hundred newspaper editors, who in, the course of their duties listen to so many speakers—good, bad and indif- ferent—that they cannot help but know all the angles that con- stitute a good speaker . Louis Blake Duff had everything --- e gracious manner —good delivery and thought-provoking material cleverly interspersed with hum- or, but not obviously so . 6 5 $ THUS, you can understand we were interested in reeding his book ... We were rather startled when Miss' Hall remarked that attho' the had just glanced at the book, there seemed to be e lot of hangings in it . . * 5 5 AND sure enough, that was all there was in the book --hangings . It was a brief history of hangings in Canada, the United States, England end saveral con- tinental countries—with emphasis on man's reaction to the torture of his fellow man . In the Olden days and even in the not too distant past, a hanging was the occasion of a "Roman Holi- day" when men, women and children would come for miles for an outing and where men still do for a lynching in the Southern States . . The book made grim reading, and we must admit we kept on to see what Duff's reason was for digging up such information . . . As far at we could judge it was that man's inhum'ani'ty to man has become a bit more humane over the cent- uries . . But anyone knows that, who is a student of history— or dues he? . Even then there is some 'doubt, when you recall the atrocities of the German concentration camps and what goes on doily in the work camps of Siberia , . In Korea, recent- ly, a British brigadier had to interfere when the South Korean democratic leaders whom the United Nations have been fighting for, were inflicting atrocities on prisoners, which would have done justice to the most brutal Communist , Then closer to home, the avidand morbidcur- iosity of the public to murder trials or to anything of a sense - tonal nature, makes one wonder if that inherent cruelty of men. is much less than in years gone by . . . It seems that it is only of a more refined nature , . . WHEN there are so ;many worthwhile things to write about in Canada — and so much that needs to be said to give Cana- dians an awareness of their country, we cannot understand from • our pre -conceived ideas of Louis Blake Duff, the man, why he wasted his talent and his time —for his bibliography of source information took up a page and a half — on a work which adds nothing of historic or literary veilu.e to a rapidly developing Canadian literature , , , * t ro 011, there was one bit of hist- orical information of interest, which we had never heard of be- fore in regards to Thomas D'Arcy McGee, the only Canadian public figure to meet death at as assas- sin's hand ... Ile and eight other young Irishmen were convicted of treason against the Queen in the disorders of 1848 and were to be hanged . The sentence was commuted and the men ex- iled to the colonies . Every one of these men lived to become government leaders hithe colon- ies or in the United States . , And in the Colonies. these "trait- ors" became Her Majesty's loyal servants, including McGee, who did much to bring about Con- federation . ^ • 11 OBITUARY MRS.
