The Clinton News Record, 1933-05-04, Page 3THURS., MAY 4, 1933 The Toronto board of trade has passed a resolution urging the federal government to still furthur reduce expenditures. All other boards should do the same, and then the finance minister should -write them asking eaoh one to specify where reductions should be made within its own mun. ieipaty. Name it if you know. anything with go much capacity for evil and so little for good as the' submarine. yet nations ‘eontinue to build 'em.

Mem- bers who personally had no objec- tions to it voted against it because some of their consitiuents had, or because it was faulty in that its op- eration was handed over to nine pro- vinces with the prospect of its being overworked. The bill would have a better chance of success if its oper. ation was confined to the authority that gave it birth. If sweepstakes are to be legalized in Canada they could more properly be handled by late federal' government to take the place of nuisance taxes in balancing federal budgets and reducing federal debts. The Independent Labor group i IBritain lines up with Communists in declaring for Russia against Britain in the present dispute, thus showing that they are livMg in a free country. Any Russian declaring for Britain against Russia would not long be J. M, Keynhs, the economist, urges the British government to get out of the rut by spencling,money in public works. Everbody else thought of that three years ago, in fact, it was the first thing they thought of. It was tried out, too, until the governments discovered that they cannot dig them.. selves out of a depression on borrow- ed money any more than an individual can. Isn't it funny that nations which were se eager to keep up the value ef their currency are now just as eager to keep it down? What they are really trying to do is to keep up the value of their tariffs. J. P. Morgan approves Roosevelt's action in going off the gold standard. At that, Roosevelt may be right, but he will experienee difficulty now in making the middle and 'Western states believe it. At the risk of being called a reac- tionary, we are willing to admit that, all other things being equal, we would accept the word of a police officer or a penitentiary guard again- st that of a convict. sa:ms=s It is pointed out as singular that Brahms, who composed that most beautiful "Cradle Song," was a bach- elor. By process of elimination old Sherlock comes to the conclusion that at some time in his life, perhaps as a child, Brahms learned something about a ,cradle. c==zilm* Where .officials are given power to fix their own salaries you can al- ways depend upon the salaries being large enough. Another thing you can depend upon is that such officials will run a business more extravagant- ly than they would if they were draw- ing reasonable salaries. Still another thing you can depend upon is that they will not be satisfied 'with such salaries but will, if they can, vote themselves substantial , bonuses, as I was done by large banking and in- dustrial concerns in the United States. endb[011•11 What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAP CADE OF THE PENED DURING TRE LAST DE - OLD CENTURY? From The News -Record, May 3rd, 1893. Mayor McTaggart was in London on Tuesday. Mrs. Chas. Rance, who has been visiting her parents for the past mon- th, leaves on Friday for Chicago, where she will reside hi future. Yesterday Mr. William Smithson gave The News -Record a handful of English violets grown in his own garden. Buyers Galore: Early last Satur- day morning five cattle buyers were on various roads leading from Clinton and dodging around blocks to escape the veiw of the "other felllow." Rival- ry was keen and considerable stock was said to be bought. Arbor Day: Arbor Day, a holiday generally observed throughout the eountry, has been appointed to be kept on May 5th. It is to be hop- ed that more trees will be planted this year than has been the ease in previous years. We have a nice wooded town but more trees will not come amiss. Sad Death: Mary J., wife of Fred- erick Howard of. Parkhill died in 'Clinton last Saturday, aged 24 years and 11 months. The circumstances were of a very sad nature. Mrs. How- ard had not been in the best of health and a couple of weeks ago left her home on a visit to Mrs. Kennedy of the Central Hotel, and other relatives in Clinton, in the hope that the changc might prove beneficial. While at the Central the ailment developed into that dread disease, inflarnation of the bowels. All that medical aid could do was of no avail. Mr. Howard was telegraphed for but his wife died while he was on his way here. Mrs. Howard was formerly a Miss Jordan and she and Mr. Howard were unite3 in marriage about six years ago in Clinton. A little boy two years old is the only family. The funeral took place to Clinton cemetery last Sunday and was largely attended) considering the downpour of rain. Federal bills are worthless after May 4th. Examine your pile and if you have any hand them for exchange to a local bank at once. Business Is Business: The other day D. Cantelon shipped a car load of potatoes to London. The spuds were shipped on the understanding that Mr, Cantelon was to draw on the purchaser and the draft would be accepted. The draft was not.hon- oured and the Londoner telegraphed that he would not accept the consign- ment ,except at about ten cents a bushel less than the potatoes or- iginally cost, claiming that they were of too small a variety. The apple king has had a little too much prac- tical experience to be duped by city chaps or smart alecks. He proceed- ed to London on Friday and found a good portion of the car unloaded. while the draft for payment had not been accepted. Mr. Cantelon did not have much furthur trouble, but the circumstance goes to show how caut. ious shippers are compelled to be in order to protect themselves and com- pel some people to be honest. The Junior Larcosse Club: Clinton has long been the home of two la- crosse clubs and 1893 will not be an exception to what has been the rule. It is a matter of regret that either the senior or junior teams have not suitable grounds on which to prac- tise er enter into a contest. Once the improvements to the park grounds have been completed the boys will have a splendid opportunity to become proficient in lacrosse. . A junior club has, in addition to senior, been formed with Percy Fair captain; W. Jackson, president; Dr. Shaw, vie -president; W. Cantelon, Jr., sec-treas,, and a eommitte of H.

Turner ,of Tuckersmith has bought the house owned by Mr. Joe- eph Pickett, Wellington street for 51250. It is an excellent property and was purchased at a -reasonable price. Huron County Gaol: Following are the statistics for the County of Hu- ron Gaol for the year 1892. Number of days of prisoners in gaol, 3,599; groceries, $141.58; baker's bill, $143.- 76; butcher's bill, $60.07; milk bill, $19.98; total for food, $365.49; sal- aries, $1370; fuel and water, $426.40; clothing and ,sundries, $177.00; to- tal, $2,238.89. The Goderich Star this week in- troduced a Rogers Typeograph, where- by the typo is set by anachinery. Several of these machines are in use in Toronto, and they work quite satisfactory, but it remains to be seen whether they can be success- fully utilized in a country newspaper office. Get Rid of Your Firearms: After the first ,of July next, any person found with fire -arms on his person and not having a certificate from a Justice of the Peace permitting him to do se, will be liable to im- prisonment without the option of a fine. Brussels postoffice was gutted by fire on Tuesday. The mails were saved, Stanley Township: Mr: John Tor- rance, reeve of Stanley and presi- dent of the South Huron Conserva- tive Association, has sold his farm in Stanley to a neighbor and is on the lookout for a 200 -acre farm. Mr. Torrance is one of the best farmers in Stanley and his removal would be a distinct loss to the Township. Kippen: The marriage announoed in your paper last week came off on Tuesday and was a happy affair. Mr. Henry Ivison and Miss Mina Mellis are now one. Rev. H. Irvine, assisted by Revs. A. Mckibbon and Robt. Burney, tied the knot. Mr. Robt. Dinsdale supported the groom and Misses Sarah Cudmore and Han- nah Iveson supported the bride. The bride and bridemaids were dressed in white and cream cashmeres and flowing veils. Auburn: Last Monday evening the house of Mr. J. Wilson was en- tered and some 5190 stolen. It is a mystery how they found the money, which was in three different places, without making noise enough to disturb someone. Mr. 17kri8sort had just received the funds of the Tem- perance Lodge, some $55, and was also treasurer of the Presbyterian church. No trace of the guilty ones has as yet been found. Deal At Home: It has become quite a business for some of the largejetail stores in Toronto and other cities to send out catalogues, and advertise in other ways to in- duce peope in smaller places to send them orders by mail. No person who has the welfare of his or her town at heart should ever send out of it to purchase anything they can get at home. eteglt$ WEEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS YOUNG From The News -Record, Apr. 7th, 1908: Miss Gibbinga, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Gibbings, Mrs. Treleaven and Mes- srs. W. Harland, R. A. Downs and Len.

On Sunday the male mem- bers ,of the, party furnished the mu- sic for the church services. Convention Next Week. A conven- tion of Center Huron Conservatives will be held in Cliaton on. Tuesday next to select a candidate for ' the Legislature. It is expected there will be a large attendance for the contest is not by any means such a foregone conclusion as Mir :friends, the en'emy, would have people be- lieve. Waste Paper: Now that, the front street has had the mud serapecl off an effort should be Made to keep it clean from waste paper. •Old papers acattered along a buiiness street don't imprbve the appearanceof the street any and are dangerous, inasmuch as horses'are easily fright- ened by, moving paper. And, by the way, if the Government would place a wastepaper basket in the lobby of -the postoffice it might save the street being used so generally by the recipients of Eaton's and Ryrie's catalogues, pill advertisements and accounts. (And that wastepaper basket at the post ,effice is still missing.) Wesley Church: Last Friday even- ing the Junior League elected the following officers: President: Clifford Andrews. 1.st Vice: Miss Retta Cook. 2nd Vice: Miss ,Gertrude Chant. 3rd Vice: Miss Kathleen East. 4th Vice: Miss Minlue Pinning. 5th Vice: Miss Erma Andrews. Organist: Miss Gladys Cantelon, Secretary; Wilmer 'Wallis. Treasurer:' Roy Riad. The Congregation Increasing: Rev. T. W. Charlesworth, the new pastor of the Baptist church has created a good impression, which is evidenced by the increased congre- gations since he assumed the pastor- ate. . . . Mr. Oharleaorth is assisted by an excellent choir which includes such well-known soloists as Mrs. S. B. Hoover and Miss Pennebaker. The former is now acting as ,organist H. Eilber Again Nominated: The South Iluron Conservative con - tion held in Hensel' on Tuesday af- ternoon was largely attended and ev- ery municipality in the riding was represented. . . But one name was placed in nomination, that of lVfr. Harry Eilber, who accepted amid cheers this renewal of the confidence of those whose standard bearer he has been for years past Brucefield: Our football team, widely known as "The Brucefield Rovers," has reorganized for the season with the following officers: Honorary President: Bruce Bos- sonberry. .,. President: A. T. Soctt, Vice: 1. T. Reid, Sec. -Treasurer: H. R. Laird. Field Captain: W. Layton. Managing Committee: D. Swan, D. Popple, J. Murdoch, J. Thompson and W. McIntosh, From The New Era, May 71h, 1908: Mr. Thos. D. Johnson of town will be the returning officer for Centro Huron local election, He is as good a man as could have been chosen for the position. Bayfield: Whiles Capt. n'erguson was inoving into the residence known as the Burn's house, his horse ran away, scattering costly mirrors right and left and smashing furniture. The driver, H. Darrow, sustained a brolk, en leg. Goderich Township: lVfr. George Mair, the Huron Road, has been en- gaged by the Londesboro Synclicat Threshes: Company to Tools after their thresher, for which service he is to secure $104 a month. This is a good wage, though he is a reliable and experienced hand.
