HERE'S THE STATUTE
As some people seem to be a bit
hazy as to whether Nov. llth, should
actually be a holiday we publish
the following actual wording .of the
Statute of the Parliament of Canada
setting aside November 11th, in each
year as Remembrance Day. "His
Majesty, by and with the consent• of
the Senate and the House of Com-
mons, of Canada, enacts as followse
"1. Sections Two and Three of the
Armistic Day Act, Chapter 9 of the
Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927,
are repealed, and the following is
substituted therefore:—:"2. Through-
out Canada in each and every year,
the Eleventh Day of November, be-
ing the day in the year One Thous-.
and Nine Hundred and Eighteen on
which the Great War was trium-
phantly concluded by an Armistice
shall be a holiday and shall be kept
and observed as such under the name
of Remembrance Day."
According to the above Nov, llth
is as much a holiday as the 24th of
May or July lst. But, of eaurse, if
people like to work on any of these
holidays they can do so. Sunday is
the only day on which you can be
punished for work, unless the Feder,
al Powers step in,
STORES CLOSE TWO HOURS
A well -attended meeting of the
Business Men's Association was held
in the council chamber on Monday
evening, all branches of the town's
trade being represented. Mr, W. H,
Hellyar, president, occupied the chair
and in the absence of the secretary,
Mr, L. McKnight, Mr. E. Paterson
acted as secretary.
The first matter to come before
the meeting was the question as to
whether the business places should
be closed on Remembrance Day,
Nov. llth, which comes this year on
Saturday. This caused considerable
discussion some being in favor of
closing all day as was done last year.
However, it was decided, the retail
merchants contending that this was
their chief business day, that busi-
ness places should only be closed for
two hours in the forenoon, from ten
to twelve, during the time of the
service of remembrance, which is
being arranged by the veterans.
A motion was made by Messrs. A,
T. Cooper and W. S. R. Holmes, that
the association petition the council
to put on the main street next year,
from the postoffice to Princess street
some sort of a resurfacing as 'will
keep down the dust.
Messrs. Paterson and Cooper spon-
sored a motion to petition the coun-
cil that slow -down signs should be
placed east and west on Huron street
to stop the speeding of ears through
the town.
Mr. Cooper brought up the ques-
tion of hydro costs and thought the
town should have a reduction in rates
as he understood there was consider-
able of a surplus. Mr. Holmes said
the council had appointed a commit-
tee to confer with the commission in
regard to this and Messrs. J. A. Ford
and 'A. S. Inkley introduced a re-
solution asking the council to ask
for, a full statement from the hydro
commission.
Mr. Holmes, who is a member of
the council, suggested the forming
of a ratepayers' association and said
the council would welcome a keener
interest by ratepayersin the work
of the council and all municipal
questions.
Col. Combe, president of the
Board of Trade, said had there been
a suitable •building available that
an offer would have been made to
the Stratford manufacturers, whose
factories have been closed on account
of the strike, to locate here. But
no sueh building is now available.
The matter of a community Christ.
mas Tree was brought up and a Com-
mittee will probably be named later
to consider the advisability of hav-
ing one.
Mr. Perdue wondered if those car-
rying on business in their own homes
were contributing business tax and
Assessor Rorke, who was present,
said that as far as he was aware of
such businesses they were being as-
sessed. •. I
FOR' THE wan
This community shipped some sup-
plies west last week, the ear be-
ing started here and finished at Sea -
forth. The consignment was not so

ganizatione. are shipping a bale of
clothing.

SATURD'AY'S STORM
Saturday afternoon witnessed a
rather severe eleotrioal storm in this
section, and the evening brought ev-
en a worse one, when trees were
blown down and anything loose was
tossed about considerably. The
worst feature was the interference
with hydro, lights and power going
off between tan and eleven, interfer-
ing seriously with late shoppers.
They were off until three or four
Sunday morning.
The lights first went off for a
very short period, h rt comingagain
on g
in a few minutes. This was a local
cause but as Supt. Rumball was ln}
the power house at the time he soon
located the .trouble and had it right-
ed.
The long break in service was
caused by the smashing of seven
poles just this side of Seaforth. This
break was temporarily fixed up dur-
ing the night and the power turned
an, but at eight o'clock. Sunday morn-
ing the power was turned off in
order to make the job more secure.
The service was resumed a few min,
utes after eleven in the forenoon.
A break in hydro makes it very'
awkward for business people and
housekeepere. Saturday night mer-
chants had to scurry about and pro-
vide lamps ,and candles to finish up
the late trade, and those who were
up town had to find their way home
the best way they could. The far-
mers and those having cars were best
off, as they had their head lights.
Sunday morning those who depended
upon hydro to cook breakfast were
fooled, unless they 'were astir early,
and they had. to plan for a cold
lunch, as they did not know when
the power would came on.
Also the churches •wbich depend
upon hydro to supply power for their
organs had to fall black upon pianos
for the opening exercises, • When
Hydro fails it makes it decidedly
awkward for many..
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
Mr. and Mrs. Win. Ross of Clinton
announce the engagement of their
daughter, Ethel Marion, London, to
Mr. Graham J. Kerr, son of Mr. and
Mrs.. John L. Kerr of Seaforth. The
marriage will take place early in
November,
SEAPORT"' GAME A TIE
A football game was played in
Seaforth on Friday between the
Clinton and Seaforth Collegiate.
Both teams gave a demonstration of
a good brand of football, making the
game quite interesting and keenly
contested. The game ended in a
tie, neither teams scoring a goal, al-
though both teams had a couple of
opportunities to score. As Clinton
had previously defeated Seaforth in
Clinton bly the score of 1—O, Sea -
forth is eliminated from further
competition in the Hough sup series.
The game wak refereed by Mr. J. A,
Sutter of Clinton.

Dr. W. E. Weekes, Exeter, coroner
for South Huron, into the death of
Josef Schevik, who met his death on
October 8th when walking on high-
way No. 4 about three utiles south
of Exeter, was resumed Tuesday.
Evidenze was given by Thomas Kay,
of Osborne, driver of the car which'
was meeting that of J. :glitch when
the fatality occurred, was to the ef-
fect that he had seen only one of the
two men, Sehevik or his companion.
This corroborated the statement of
efutch, driver of the ea -r which
struck and instantly killed Se!:evik.
Archie Thomson, who aorompsnied
Kay at the time, gave evidence to
the sante effect fir. Fletcher, of
Exeter, gave evidence as to the cause
of death. Thomas Walker, an eye-
witness of the fatality, told his story
to the court, Constable John Norrie.

A CLOSE SHAVE
Ae accident which narrowly es-
caped being a fatal one Deterred to
Mr. T. Churchill, foreman of the
Clinton Knitting Co., on Saturday
evening, when he received several
grains of shot hi the head from ntt,
accidentally discharged shot gun as
lie Iay on a couch in his own hone.
Mr. Churchill had been out hunt-
ing in the afternoon, a favorite pas-
time, and an returning he laid his
gun on the table and lay down on a
couch to rest while waiting for a call'
to the evening meal. He had fallen
asleep when his little son, in reach-
ing across the table for something;
. it is supposed, touched the trigger•
of the gun and it discharged, the
full force of the charge going through
the wainscoating of the room near
Mr. Churchill's head and a few stray
shots entering his forehead above the
eye and also grazing the side of the
head. The force of the discharge
sent the gun back against the op-
posite wall with such force as to dent
the walla Had Mr. Churchill's head
been slightly higher the full charge
would have struck 'him.
Mr. Churchill has the reputation
of being very careful in the handling
of a gun and when out hunting al-
ways insists upon everyone unload-
ing before starting for home. He -
explains his failure on this ocacsion
to the fact that when he had remov-
ed one shell from hisdouble-barreled.-
gun
ouble-barreledgun he was distracted from it by
catching a young dog, visually diffi-
cult to get hold of, and putting him.
in the ear. When this had ;been ace
eoinplished he forgot that he had not-
finished unloading and put his gun
in the oar and brought it Koine:
Mr. Churchillis still suffering,' as
e. grain of shot is stili in his head'
somewhere and cannot at present be
probed for, but he is improving and'
has great cause for thankfulness -
that he escaped so fortunately:
