CIVIC LOYALTY NEEDED Clinton probably never had so many peddlers as > in recent months, everything, almost, needed he the house being offered. For weeks now people from nearby cities have been peddling from door to door baking a5 various kinds, What with the many kinds of bread handledby localcaI deal- ers and the very excellent baking turned out by our own bakers, one would suppose that Clinton people plight get enough to eat with- out enlisting the, aid of outside. points, but apparently not. Local dealers aro of the opinion that if citizens would stop to consider that the people who offer these things for sale, who are usually representatives of !business places in the towns from which they come, have no stake here while the local dealers are helping for all they're worth to keep up the town, they might think twice before purchasing from them. The wares offered are probably not one what better, if as good, as what may be obtained any day in the local shops, TAKES OPTIMISTIC S C VIEW The following appeared in last week's issue of The Goderioh Star and refers to a roan well known to many here, having been for three years pastor of the Wesley church. He is one of these who retrains ac- tive, both mentally and physically, although over the foul' -score marls: "Last Thursday was the eighty third birthday anniversary of Rev. J. E. Ford and at the mid -week ser- vice in North street United church the preceding avening he spoke in a very interesting way of some of the changes which have occurred during his lifetime. It was enc' hundred years ago that Mr. Fool's parents came th Canada. the voyage at that time requiring six ei' seven weeks. That was the year of the peseing of the Reform Piil and the time of changes in in- dustry from home to factory. blr. Ford's father was a weaver and on arriving in Canada settled in Peter- borough, which continued to be the family home. Of a family of five sons and three daughter: Mr. Ford is the only survival'. It was in 1874 that Mr. Ford en- tered the ministry of the Wesleyan Methodist church and during the in- tervening years he has witnessed the union of the Wesleyan and New Conneetien Methodists in 1874, the union of the various Methodist bod- ies in 1883, under the name of "The Methodist Church of Canada," and in 1925 the union of the Presbyterian Methodist and Congregational chur- ches. Quoting the familiar lines of the hymn, "Change and decay in all around I see," Mr. Ford said he sow lots of changes but refused to think of this as decay. He has the for- ward look and prefers to think of these changes as a discarding of old worn-out methods and the adoption of something better. The Star joins in the congratula- tions to Mr. Ford en the completion of -his 83rd year and ,loins with his many friends in wishing him many more happy anniversaries."
