FRUIT ALL YEAR ROUND
Mr. H. 3. Thompson seems to have
mastered the secret of keeping ap-
ples. At least he sent into this of-
fice on Thursday, Aug. 18th three
apples of 1931 growing ,which were
still sound and good, although their
flavor might have fallen off to seine
extent. They were of the Ben Davis
-variety. Spine people seen to speak
as if Canada, "Our Lady of The
Snows," had to depend upon the im-
portation of fresh fruit for several
months of the year. But here we
have apples lasting on until the new
crop comes and we have been eating
other sorts of fresh, home-grown
fruits for a couple of months. Of
course we import seine fruits, as we
like changes, but if we really had to
we might get along on our own
home-grown fruits without running
much danger of dying of ;seurvey.

DECORATION SERVICES
Last Sunday afternoon members
of the Canadian Legion, Clinton
Branch No. 140, Murphy Lodge No.
710, arid the I.O.O.F., 'Clinton Lodge
No. 88 met at the Town Hall at -
two o'clock. The procession, which
was headed by •the Clinton Kiltie
Band, marched first to the Post Office
where the war memorial tablet was
decorated.
Following this ceremony the par -
cession proceeded to the cemetery
where another service was conducted
by Rev. F. G. Far'rill and Rev. A. A.
Holmes. Rev. F. 0..Farrill deliver-
ed the address for, the occasion.
Rev, Favrill commended the idea of a
memorial service and he went on to
say that •these services were beeorn-
ing more and more general through
out the country since their origin
just after the Great War when such
services were held in honour of the
fallen soldiers. We all know that
the fallen Heroes left us their torch
and we must carry en in the' protec-
tion of loved ones from the unscrup-
ulous hands of our foes. Even as
the dying soldiers tossed others their
torch the pioneers of !our still young
country leave us the pleasant burden
of accomplishing their unfinished
tasks and ideals. It is a pleasurable
to do this knowing our pioneers did
so much in establishing the status
of our country in education, industry
and other fields of labour. From the
pioneer, the 'speaker went on to
speak of the mothers and fathers
who have passed on leaving unfin-
ished tasks to the succeeding genera-
tion. Then there are the little chil-
dren, cot off like rose buds fin the
bloom of youth, 'beforee'they have
had a chance to do their share in
"carrying on." It is our duty to
carry on and to do the very best we
can, remembering that others who
have gone before did their share with
willing hearts and heeds. So !often
we hear of death pictured as the
Grim Reaper. Rev. Farrill did not
picture death thus, but as the Angel
with up -raised hand, holding a chis-
el -the unfinished task.. Therefore
death means only that someone has
been unable to finish hie task and
leaves it hs a legacy. The idea that
these' tasks have been left to us
should inspire no with 'deeper tense
tea dent of, schools,

HALES-H0P,LICK
The following from the Border
Cities Star, Windsor, refers to the
marriage of the great-niece of Mrs.
John Wacker, of Kitchener, formerly
of Clinton;
"At a quiet ceremony befere a sa-
bers of only the imnuvliere families,
Miss Gwendolyn llidliek, daughter
of Mr. and Mie. Jam 0, terfliek, of
Shepherd street wort, wen; united in
marriage to Mr, Stilton Bales, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hales, of
East Windsor, The ceremony a -as
read at the Riverside Presbyterian
Manse by the Rev. Dr. Calvin A.
11IcRae, the bride wore an attractive
gown of white georgette, very long,
the bodice fitting tightly. A short
bolero jacket had tiny sleeves, and
her list was a white turban. She
carried Butterfly roses and baby's
breath. Miss Helen McConnell, her
only attendant, were yeliew voile
embroidered all over, and a white
hat and white shoes. Her flower-
were pink roses. 3'Ir, Clarence Dew -
hint assisted the bridegroom as best
man. Following the ceremony, a
reception was held and a wedding
supper, was 'served at the home of
the bride's parents, the bride's table
being centred with the wedding cake,
and pink roses and tall pink tapore
also gracing it. Mr. and Mrs. Hales
left for a motor trip to Quebec, On
their return, they will reside -
Windsor.
Clinton's Flower Show
Who says Clinton cannot put on a
flower show? Certainly nobody who
SEM the display put on in the town
hall on Friday and Saturday would
snake such a statement, for it waa
indeed a most creditable showing.
Clutton Horticultural Society has
not staged a flower show for several
years but this year Mr. A. S. Inkiey
was appointed head of the flower
shote committee and he said such a
display was part of tate wo"k of such
a society and that a show roust be
put on, ar more than one, if that
were possible. The display last Fri-
day was the result.
The committee worked hard to Heir
this affair going but much credit is
due the citizens generally, who took
the time and trouble to arrange and
bring in 'their exhibits and the result
plainly demonstrates that the citi-
zens Of Clinton and vicinity are flow-
er lovers. No cue grew anything par-
ticularly for show purposes, all thx
exhibits were just what gardeners
happened to have in their gardens
at that particular time, and the rain
which prevailed for a couple of days
before the show was hard on certain
kinds of flowers, end the display
would have been more brilliant had
the weather held up. But there seem-
ed little to complain of in the result
achieved.
The display of gladioli was the
largest single display,an there were
some beauties, but the variety of
flowers was tremarked by malty. Ev-
en roses, and it is late for roses,
made a good showing. The arrange-
ment of baskets, table bouquets, etc.,
was very artistic and the placing by
the committee was very satisfactory,
.only that they could have done with
more room, It might be supposed
that that big hall would give plenty,
but baskets and bouquets would have
shown off better with a . Iittle more
room, although the table space allot -
ed seemed ample when they were
sed up.
The Society need not be afraid to
tackhe a show another year, perhaps
mare than ono of them,
