It is like losing old friends, comnnents. The Han - oven' Post. An invention born out of necessity, they are g si ag way to the more efficient, but so impersonal, wire strands, and tidier steel posts. They were set out by the pioneers who cleared the land and built the farms now so productive. The fences are evidences of the loaig hours of toil, the aggressiveness and the determination of the pioneer. They stand as menorial"s' to the men who contributed so much to the building -of our country. Yes, they are a product of an era when the settler matched his talents against nature to bring the land under cultivation. They have served their purpose well, even as the men who made them. Paved highways, Scaife fences„ and ibroald vistas of cultivated fields, bespeak progress. Tractors smoothly rolling across the dark earth are modern and effective. Birt there is something typically Canadian about a fine team of, horses plodding carefully up and down over the freshly turned, moist earth, surrounded by a square of carefully ;patterned rail fence, and around and aboutpiles of stones, carefully piled in the centre of the [field. And over the fence is a fine bush just breaking into a misty green among the darker evergreens. And across on the side are a file herd of cattle on the side of a gentle elope. One anay have to go to the back concessions to fir<ictail' this peaceful, picturesque beauty, but one can still ftd' it,. and it seems to have a more personal appeal and to stave- retained something we like to think of -as typically Ontario, ---and old friends. 0 0 0 EDITORIAL.

CLINTON, NEWS -RECORD „ a Letters to the Editor EX -RESIDENT'S OPINION Editor, Clinton Clinton, News -Record, DEAR SIR: Enclosed' please find Two Dol- lars ($2:00) renewal subscription to The NEWS -RECORD. As a former resident of 40 years ago, I ,am particularly in- terested' in . the news of former years, altho still interested in. the Council proceedings and improve- ments of the town. I was greatly interested to read the letter to the Editor in last , week's edition. I would like to congratulate Mr. Glazier on the courageous letter inserted over his signature. I am of the opinion that if the policies of the CCF. were better known .there would be less antagonism and much more support to the party. It is a matter of encouragement to find that there are men like Mr. Glaz- ier in the riding even if there. was no Candidate in the recent by-election. The letter or advertisement of the County Temperance Federa- tion showed very clearly that a better system or a true demo- cratic Government • is necessary to carry out the peoples wishes. To my mind it is regretable that temperance people all over the province vote for the candidate whose election expenses are paid by the big interests, and I have yet to hear or read any authentic denial that the liquor interests put up a large proportion of the ex- pense. Time CCF., 1 undertsand, have been offered a share, too, but concientiousfy refused it, as they or any other administration can- not legislate for the benefit of the many while under obligation to a financial benefactor. AND SO it costs something to be a CCF'er. And many are doing as they did two thousand years ago, when they found out it would en- tail personal sacrifice they all forsaek,Him and fled.
