COULD BE REMEDIED "A preacher in neighboring town," says on exchange, "on a recent Sun. day evening called the citizens down good and hard for late trading on 'Saturday nights which compels the delivery boys as well as clerks and merchants to work up to midnight and often on into the Sabbath to get their orders all delivered. The reverend gentleman is on the right track and while there is undoubtely a little change for the better along this line during the past year there is still room for improvement. The trouble can be• remedied with very little bother if every citizen will take an interest in the matter as individ- uals and pledge themselves to do their buying early or carry their pur- chase home themselves. It is a trif- ling thing for each -of. us to do, but it means a great deal to the merch- ant and his assistants." This is the whole trouble, really Merchants have told The News -Record that people will come up town and walk around for an hour or so before making their purchases, and of course the merchants do not wish to close while there's a chance of doing bus- iness. ' WOMEN'S INSTITUTE MEETING "Grandmother'h Day" in cones, tion with the Women's Institute was observed at the home of Mrs. T. H. Cool on Thursday last. The president, Mrs• N. W.

Clinton friends regret deeply the early death of Mrs. Bane, whom they remember as a bright vivacious, girl, who spent her childhood and school days here, and they extend sincere sympathy to her parents in the loss of their only child. SCOUTS HAD GOOD W1EEI: Clinton Boy Seouts cane in from camp on Monday. The Scouts had their camp on Mr. Chas. Williams' farm on the bank of the Maitland, which was voted an ideal spot, `and they spent a very happy week there. The camp was well planned, two patrols, the Moose, in charge of Pat- rol Leader Fred Hovey, and the Eagle, in charge of John Cuninghame and Bruce Rartliff, each had their own quarters, for sleeping, cooking and eating. They also had an of- icers' tent and a quartermasters' tent and, a Council Circle, in the centre of which the camp fire was set, and where the nightly ceremonies took place. The Camp was in charge of Assistant -Scoutmasters C. Bozell and Sam Castle, the former remaining ail the time, the latter being present as much of the time as he could. Each patrol had its own cooking place, utinsils, etc. and each did its own catering two scouts being told off each day for the various duties. They vied -with each other, too, as to which should present the neatest and most scout -like appearance. They had a church parade to Eb- enezer church on Sundey afternoon, marching in full uniform and bearing their flags. Visitors were much interested in the camp especially with the cer- emonies connected with the councils about the camp fire of an evening, and good housekeepers'awould have been delighted with the care with which blankets were aired each day and the cooking utinsils were kept scoured. The. Scouts live by rule, rising, re- tiring, eating, swimming, etc, by the clock. They engaged daily in water sports, caught some fish and had a good time generally. The camp was very attractively fit- ted up, much rustic work being used effectively. Scouts and leaders speak in high terms' of the kindness and hospitality of M. Williams, who gave them the location without charge, al- lowed them certain privileges of cut- ting shrubs, and invited therm to re, turn next year. , On Monday they played a game of baseball with Ebenezer team and .in the evening 'they megretfully bade good -by to their hamp and • re., turned to town.: ANTICIPATING PLEASURE The News-Reeord is congratulat- ing itself on its location this month as Mr. Inkley has hundreds of glad- loll just coming into bloom in the er- stwhile vacant plot just across the street. Ye editor has a spike or two coming along, but they cannot hold. a candle, as regards numbers, • to the display just across the way. But', when ours come along some more we're going to ria a bit of comparing, as we are just an amateur at gard- ening.

A Centenary Picnic was held in Kincardine on Monday, August 1st, to celebrate the arrival of the Cosens family in Canada in June 1832.

Forest. gave a very interesting tank which was very much enjoyed: Souvenirs were shown which were brought from England in 1832.
