G= ENEWS I HuIi aark The longest word in the Hun- garian language has thirty-threelet- ters in it and it means a roan whose opinion cannot be bought. We un- derstand it is seldom used in the.. Hungarian Diet and their only when a member is speaking about himself. e=H=3 Fraternal societies will soon be holding their annual gatherings, and we should like to hear each one of them debate this c9uestion: "Re- solved that in ,the opinion of this as- sociation titles of honor and distinc- tion are foreign to the genius of our democracy." •e Representatives of every Indian tribe are expected at the 'Chicago , Exposition. Only the fair deserves the braves. Ain't Science Grand? 'Something new in physics has been found, or at least given a name, for it must have been there all the time. The name is positron and it is de- fined as •a free positive electron. If that is not sufficient then we must explain that when high energy pho- tons collide with the nuclei of ,an at- om they eject the positron. Surely that's simple enough. It is all very well for the London Daily Express to demand that Brit- ain keep out of the Franco-German embroglio. She will if she can, but she is a signatory to certain treaties and is a member of the League •of Nations. car= --a +France did herself an ill turn when she antagonized Lloyd George. His is now the only voice of consequence raised on behalf of Germany, and France might profitably have retain- .ed his friendship, for he still exer- cises influence and authority in the British Isles, although his following in the House of Commons is incon- siderable. In the United States they are en- acting blue sky laws for the protecs tion of investors. In Ontario new regulations prohibit agents from go- ing to private houses to sell other than government bonds. If they wish to sell shares and stocks they must go to shops and offices. All that is to the good, but if we were asked to designate Public En- emy No. 1 we would name those big financial houses that sought out flourishing -businesses, bought them eat them up on a new financial struc- ture, sold the stock to the public and pocketed huge profits. If you name one of those set-ups that succeeded, wecannamea dozen that failed. If .you an name one that is still struggling along and paying dividends on the new cap!- talization we can name a dozen still struggling along and not paying di- vidends. When money becomes active again these buccaneers will seek out such businesses as survive, acquire them, recapitalize them and go throughthe same process to the eed, because they are still out of jail and getting ready for further killing unless checks are provided by law. For a time, everything France did alienated sympathy from her, but along came Hitler and Von Pape" and in a few weeks convinced the world that France was right in in- sisting upon security against a court -- try still infected with the rabies of militarism.

The banker looked puzzled. "What is it?" he asked. "Aha!" laughed the lawyer, "I knew you wouldn't know. A Canadian poet says that any teacher who teaches pupils to parse and analyze poetry should be hanged, drawn and quartered. Poetry as a rule may stand for parsing, but it won't bear analysis. G—et. The way to disarm, as Roosevelt says, is to disarm, but you have also to persuade the other fellows that you have done so and then see to it that they do the sane. The best field of operation for gov- ernment ownership and control is in the manufacture and sale of arms. It would go a long way toward the prevention of tear and other crime if the profits from such industry were Temoved from private or cor- porate interest.

Gunne. was elected one of the dele- gates to the Provincial Synod and also a member of the executive committee of the Synod and the committee on Anglican Young Peo- ple's Associations. Mr. J.

The White Dyke band some time ago asked for the same amount. The council decided that the total grant must not exceed $150 and a commit- tee consisting of the mayor, reeve and Councillor Ford was appointed to deal with the matter. If an ann- algamation cannot be effected they are to use their discretion as to how the grant be divided. The silver trowel used by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Meunier on Sunday last in laying the cornerstone of St. Joseph's church, was donated by the contractor T. McKenzie and fur- nished by Mr. W. R. Counter, jewel- eer.

Lucas, M.P.P. for Centre Grey, and brother of Mrs. 1. E. IHov ey, (Mr. Lucas .is really Mrs; Iiov ey's uncle, but The New Era seemed to have got it fixed in its mind that he was a brother) was for some PAGE 3 years known as the "Boy. Orator of the Legislattn s," and although ten years have gone by since he first entered public life Mr. Lucas still retains his youthful appearance. A story is toldof his first campaign. He was driving "throng]) one of the.. country districts on a very stormy, day and stopped at a farmer's house. The 'farmer being an gold 'time Con- servative "Ikey' tied his horse at the gate went up to the house and knock eed at the door, which was opened to him by the old man, who was a little deaf, The 'candidate explained the purpose of his visit but the old roan only heard the name, Lucas and did not recognize the youthful person- age before him' as the real candid- ate. "Yes, yes." he said. "Tell you're father I'll be out in a minute and put your horse in. You and he must stay for dinner.."

CSL •r GONE FOREVER "Them days is gone forever," or, for a while at least, is the feeling of many highschool teachers about the days when they received high sal- aries and their numbers were not so plentiful as they are today. It is stated there are more than 400 un- employed High School teachers in Ontario at the present time. When the school teacher drilling machines close down their Bloor street plant in Toronto for the season next month, another host will be turned loose on the school boards of the province. The Ontario College of Education is just putting the finish- ing touches on 580 more teachers, it is said.—Mitchell Advocate. HERE'S A GOOD IDEA In a friendly "manner, the Petrolia Advertiser -Topic makes the follow- ing timely remark: "If yon owe a bill and have not got the money to pay all of it, why not pay some- thing on account? There isn't a business man in the country who wouldn't be delighted to give you s receipt for your payments. Business men have 'fixed expenses' that they must meet at least once a month and they do appreciate hearing from those who are indebted to them. Protect your credit. Times may not be as they are much longer and wouldn't it be nice when better times come again to be able to say, "Well, I did my bit to help things along—I paid what I could—,my credit was always good—and I never held out on anybody." --Hanover Post. CSL --'-9 A TEN -FOLD SPREAD People who insist on eating straw- berries out of season pay heavily for the privilege. A. ,Goderich lady who paid 29 cents for a box of straw- berries the other day found this note written on the bottom of the box: "Please write me a letter. Who bought this box? And the price you paid for it. We sold for 70 cents a crate. Picked by Ruth Williams, Cull - boxes, Ala. Route 9." As there are 24 boxes' .to a crate the producer• an si picker received less than 3 cents a box :Cor the berries that sold in God- erich L c ;Duty, 01 1 . t and tion o •ta- t Sat Y, 1 tion and several,.pi ofits make up' the bulk of the retail price it' seems,, —IGo ric]Stet. de r FARMER'S SALES 'ITP Colonel the Hon, T, L. Kennedy, the ,provincial minister of agricul- ture, is delighted—and properly so— because the farmers of "this province received • approximately $6,500,000 more for their• sales during the month :of March than they did for, the corresponding month of last year. He sees in this evidence of an upturn in conditions as affecting the agricultural ,population and believes that it will be continued. —Brockville Recorder. c-rL YOUR HOME NEWSPAPER Your Town Newspaper Office is one of your industries and as, such it merits your support.

NECESSITY Necessity knows no law. Grim facts smile at precedents. Impend- ing hunger and ruin waste no time on the precepts of men long in their graves, however wise these ancients may have been in their day and no natter how efficiently they served their generation.

RHUBARB Rhubarb pies and rhubarb sauce are now quite common every day, the rhubarb plant was used in phar- macy long before its' value as a food' became known. It grows wild on the banks of the Volga in Russia, and was used in the making of tarts in 1820. and soon became common in Canada and the United States. It was relished by the early settlers when fruit was scarce. —Port Rowan News.. A TRUE STORY OF AVERAGE FINANCE The other day a Goderich business man paid one of his staff 39 wages. The $9 was immediately taken to another. business man and used to discharge an obligation and the first business man promptly collected the 39 back again from the second busi- ness man to pay a debt due him. The net result was that financially the three were in exactly the same posi- tion as before and yet three debts had been paid and each one of the three men was happy in the feeling that he was free of debt. The point of the story, of course, is that every time you pay a debt you start a. cycle of beneficence which may extend far and wide and eventually conte back to you. But if some one in the circle gets afraid of the future and holds the $9 the chain is broken. n Because an overwhelming majority of homes in the Clinton Community "just can't get along without The News -Record," The Clinton News -Record ranks high as a real Household Nec- essity. More than that, at the low subscription rate of $1.50 a year, or five cents a single copy, The Clinton News -Record is a bargain. C C will buy only one of these things: A package of chewing gum - - one cigar - - a cup of coffee - - a candy bar - - a hot dog - - the tax on one and two-thirds cheques - - ten minutes (more or less) at a movie - - three aspirins for a headache - a package of lifesavers - - almost enough stamps to mail two letters. (Some of these are bargains, some are not) invested in a copy of The News -Record (3 cents when paid by the year) will do all of these: Keep you in touch with the happenings of the Clinton Conmmunity - - bring you the messages and pock- etbook news of Clinton's stores and business in- stitutions, with opportunities of saving money - tell you about your church, your school, your lodge, your club, your neighbors and friends, your- self, give you a share in a home enterprize devot- ed to the good of your community.
