ple's Society, as well as the good
times we have had together on pic-
nics, in parties, on the tennis -court
and playground.
In the Teachers' Training Cass,
and in the Young People's Society
you have always tried to point our
the Christian way, and to bring our
what is best in us spiritually, moral-
ly and physically. ` If we have not
benefited and profited by your in-
struction it will be through our own
fault. We have enjoyed your fel-
lowship, and hope to show you both
now and in later life, that your lab-
our with us has not been in vain.
As a token of our appreciation, we

SPOKE ON RUSSIA
Miss M. A. Stone of Clinton spoke
before Victoria Home and School
Club, Goderieh last week and The
Signal had the following to say of
her address:
"The speaker of the evening was
Miss Stone, a member of the staff of
Clinton School of Commerce. Miss
Stone spoke interestingly of the five-
year plan. in Russia. She traced the
history of the Communist movement
from the time of the war, pointing
out the wonderful improvement made
in some ways, but also emphasizing
the weak points in the program. In
closing, the speaker urged that ev-
eryone should use the franchise in-
telligently. `The good things," said
Miss Stone 'have come to us so eas-
ily .that we do not appreciate them.
If we wish to see our donntry go a-
head we must all be willing to do
our part in the work, not be content
to sit back and criticize.'
On motion of Mr. Stonehouse a
hearty vote of thanks was extended
to Miss Stone for her splendid ad-
dress, which 'was greatly appreciat-
ed."

IT DOES PAY
A lady advertised some furniture
in last week's issue of The News-
Reeord and the paper had only been
off the press an hour or so when in.
quiries began to come in regarding
it. Wehad about a dozen inquiries
about the one ad, and by Saturday
everything was sold.
Another advertiser, who had ad-
vertised some stock, told us the
other day that he had had several
people call to 'see his animals and
that while he had not sold the colt
which he was willing to part with.
he had sold an older horse and was
in hopes of getting the other dis-
posed of also.
"It pays to advertise." It is the
very best possible way of getting
buyer and seller together. A small
ad. costs little and the results are
satisfactory.

A BEAUTIFICATION SCHEME
Councillor A. S. Inkley, who is
president of the 'horticultural So-
ciety, has a plan for town beautifii,
cation which should have the sup-
port of citizens. His idea is to get
the town to en operate with the So
ciety in making a civic garden of
that plot facing Mary street, which
has so far been nothing but an eye-
sore.
He believes it could be done with
but little outlay. It would need to
be plowed and levelled and flower
beds laid out and planted. A rustic
or Iattice fence could be run around
it upon which roses and other climb-
ers might be trained, shrubs and
trees could be planted about and a
plan of beds and grass plots arrang-
ed. Mr. Inkley thinks that many
plants, such as iris, peonies, delphin-
iums, etc., would be donated and ar-..
rangements might be made for as-
sistance in planting, under supervis-
ion, so that little exepnse would be
incurred. It looks like a good
scheme. Let's keep it in mind and
by autumn a start might be made
toward getting tit underway.
