Ile has always contended that prosperity would be hauled from around the corner by horses, which have ever been useful in moving stalled mach- ines. The dismissal of Wm. E.

R. A. admin- istration. o We are informed that one of the furniture factories at Stratford now closed would still be operating if the management had cut down the num- ber of employees instead of keeping all of them on and reducing the hours of work per day or the days of work per week. The strike was one hun- dred per cent effective because all were dissatisfied. Whereas if the staff had been reduced and kept working full time there would have been no strike. The managemen' did what most people consider the proper thing .and the result has been disastrous to the company, the workers and the city, The decision that a member can. not smoke cigarettes and be Loyal to the W. ,C. T. U. is a brave one, for ittis certain to place grave limita- tions upon the field from which members are to be recruited. in the future. In some cities agitators are try- ing to make trouble by denouncing the food supplied at free hostels as unfit to eat, but letters appear now and again from persons who eat it denying the truth of these charges. These misehiefanakers would if they could drain the wells of thankfulness and gratitude and fill them with Hat- red and bitterness. German withdrawal from the Lea gue of Nations,the dissolution of the Reichstag and the calling of new elections are shrewd political moves on Herr Hitler's part. There is noth- ing more certain than that the Nazis will sweep the country on Nov. 12th. He is doing which De Valera did, re- lying upon ancient animosities to place -him in the saddle.

St. Chrysos- tum declared that :woman is a ne- cessary evil, a natural temptation, a desirable calamity, a domestic peril. a deadly fascination and a painted ill." Of course we disagree with both these views, for we are neither sour nor saint, but prefer to, drink to the toast of "The Ladies! To know them is to love them and to love them is a liberal education." Dolfuss, the Austrian dictator, is not afraid of assassins. We venture to think that he is not afraid to dis- appoint them either, Tacking to an Irishman, the other day, he told us that his wife is Scotch and that he heard her say tc some friends who were listening in with her on a radio program: "The radio is the only thing I ever paid money for that I didn't regret." Mr, Hector Charlesworth has aur per- mission to use this toward the ex- tension of his kingdom. opo if, after negotiations a strike re- sulted, Sam !Gompers deemed that he had failed, and he was the bbst lab- or leader ever. We believe his suc- cessor Wm. Green takes the sante view, and in Canada Tom Moore. But leaders of organizations like the I. U.W., the I. B, U. the Canadian Lab- or Defence League, and the Workers Unity League believe they fall if they do not lead the workers to strilce or sabotage. They war against the recognized unions as well as against the employers of labor. What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING TBR LAST DE- CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY? From The News -Record, Oct. 20th, 1892: Mechanics and laboring men are in great demand this fall. Building op- erations and the apple business is the reason. A newspaper man in Wiarton on accepting religion ceased publishing his paper. It was probably the only way he could get rid of the "devil" and delinquents. The proposed railway line between London and Bayfield has been con - sheered unfavorably by President Vancortee on the ground that the connection with the south end of Lake Huron, in the vicinity of Sar- nia, would be more useful to the C. P. R. So says the London Free Press, It is now in order for cap- italists in Bayfield to take steps to secure electric railway connection with the outside world. R. S. hays, the popular young barrister of Seaforth and well known M. Brussels, was, united in marriage to Miss Shane of Blyth on Wednes- day, Lieut. (Dr.) J. W.

Brussels Post. Thursday, Nov. 10th, has been pro - Velma Thanksgiving Day. Waterworks art needed in Clinton -.Town engineer Weeks could do worse, than employ his spare time prospecting for the source of a pos- sible supply. A reasonably feasable project would meet with the appro. val of our citizens. •' If we intend to maintain our present factories and wish to secure others 'we shaft have to obtain some other source of water supply than the primitive well sys tear. Paul Peel of London, the well- known, artist, died yesterday in Par- is, France. A. report was current last week that Lack Kennedy was down with fever. About eight years ago Lack was afflicted with that malady; it is hardly reasonable to think the rumor has been going the rounds for eight years. The report is with- out a particle of truth. Mr. Kennedy is attending to his every -day duties. Rat Race:—It was a race for life and the scene was in Watt's drug store on Tuesday evening last week. The rat was about the size of an or- dinary cat and found its way from adjoining premises into the drug store early in the afternoon. The monster was shadowed for several hours and after a severe tussle with Mr, and: Mrs. Watts, Messrs. niter, Coats and M. McTaggart, wry; cap- tured and killed. It was the largest and most plucky rat we have ever seer?. Leg Broken:—Mr. W. G. Smith of Irwiin's grain elevator happened with a very unfortunate accident on Sat- urday morning. He was alighting from a flat car to the ground, after leisurely admixing. some machinery and a stationery engine in the Grand Trunk yard, en route from Exeter to Brantford, when in some way, while leaving ,the carr or alighting on the ground his left leg just above the ankle was broken . .. Mr. Smith, though often in a more dangerous position in the railway yards during the ten years he has worked at the elevator, never before received more than a scratch. October Berries—.Last Saturday • • • The News -Record was favoured with a quart of red, delicious raspberries They were grown in the garden of Mrs. J. G. Steep, Goderieh township and were as plump and palatable as any we have sampled in 1892. A Good Move: --At the special council meeting last week Mayor Doherty and Deputy -Reeve Kennedy made a good move when they spoke of the advisability of increasing the park grounds. Weare given to un- derstand that four or five acres ad- joining the present ground can bq purchased from Mr. Pair at a very reasonable figure. Clinton should have larger and better grounds, mors commodious buildings and a good tralp. Prom The New Era, Oct. 27th, 1893: Mr. Joseph Allanson sent some cabbages to Goderich on Saturday whidh weighed over 20 pounds each. A Iawn ibowling club has been or- ganized in Clinton with the following officers: President: J. P. Tisdall; Vice, J. Houston; Secretary, A. P. Gundry; Treasurer, D. L. Macpher- son. Mrs. Coleman• is about to open a class for shorthand and typewriting in Clinton. Improving: --,The News -Record has adopted a new dress of type, simil- ar to that in use by The New Era. Locally, the Record is a much bet- ter paper than it ever was, compares favorably with the best of papers and is really a good local paper; but editorially it is the same as ever. (The above is nothing to what The News -Record says frequently about the New Era, but the editor was ale together too wordy, the articles are mostly much too long to reproduce.) Holnesville:--At the Royal Tem- perance Council Monday it was de- cided to send four delegates to the Prohibition Convention to be held in Manchester Nov. 1st. The four ap- pointed were: Miss M. Rumball, E. C. Potter, W. Pickard and F. C. Et - ford. The second debate of the season came off at the Royal Templar Coun- cil, the olcl subject, "Resolved that wood is of more use to man than ir- on" was fully ventilated; those for the affirmative were J. H. Lowery, George Acheson, and Ed. Jervis. while F. C. Elford, Jos. Holmes and Jas. Ford took the negative, the de- cision of the judges was given in fav- or of the negative. Goderich Township: Mr. and Mrs. John Middleton have returned from the west. They say they had a very pleasant trip. It is stated that Mr. Thos. Jenkins of the Huron road will erect a new brick house next year. Very successful thanksgiving ser- vices were held on Sunday Iast in the Holmesville, Middleton and Summer- hill Episcopal churches. Londesboro:—Mr. ' D. Cantelon shipped a car of apples to Harte ney, Man., on Monday last. Mr. W. T. Riddell was married in Seaforth to Miss Sarah Wallace of Londesboro and returned home on Wednesday, where a reception was tendered them; the wish of their many friends is that their sail on the sea of life may be prosperous and happy. eee=liemee WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS YOUNG From The News -Record, Oct. 29th, 1908: Rev. Kenneth Beaton returned to Toronto on Monday to resume his studies at the University after spend- ing a couple of days with his father, Mr. A. D. Beaton. Mr. John McEwen of Knox Co/ - lege, Toronto, is at present visiting at his home on the second of Stanley. In Monday's election Ontario, Man- itoba and British Columbia went Conservative, but the remaining pro- vinces rolled up a Liberal majority of about fifty, forty-one of which were obtained in Quebec. The Conservatives win East and West Huron, Dr. Chisholm being eI- eeted in East, defeating Mr. Hyslop, Mr. E. N. Lewis,- in the West, de- feating Mr. Holmes. In South Hue ren McLean defeated Sherritt b'y a majority of 168. Lewis' majority was 65, Chisholm's, 93. Among the new members elected at this time to the, Dominion Parlia- ment were W. L. Mackenzie King, Capt. T. G. Wallace and Hon. Chas. Murphy. A Dramatic Club has been organ- ized and the members are already hard at work rehearsing for the play "Richard the Third," which will be given about Christmas. The officers of the club are as follows: Hon. -President: Dr. Gunn. President: Dr. Axon. Secretary: IL Hewson. Treasurer: M. Constantine. Stage Director: E. J. Howard: Stage , Manager: A. Cassels.

Omtario Street Church:—There were large congregations at the anniversary services in this church. on Sunday. Rev. James Livingston of Mitchell was the preacher for the day Pastor Keir took Mr. Liv- ingston's work in Mitchell. Women in Politics: ---,The wife of a prominent Liberal in Lust Wawanosh became so incensed on Monday even- ing last at the defeat of the party that she took to stone throwing in Wingham. One of the missies hit Dr. Chisholm, M,P.e elect, rendering him for a time unconscious. For- tunately it was not a dangerous blow and the Dr. was as chirpy as ever next day and declined to allow any proceedings to be taken against his assailant. Who was it contended thatwomen should take a more ac- tive part in polities? , iCes19 From The New Era, Oct. 29th, 1908: LAURIER RETURNED South Huron Goes Liberal. East and West Huron Conservative, Every Cabinet Minister But One Re -Elected: Election Notes: Goderich township showed a Liberal gain of about 50, while Hullett showed a Liberal lose of 34. A few more elections and Goderich township will be voting Grit and Hullett will be going the other way. Goderich evidently enjoys being in the cold shades of opposition rath- er than basking in the sunshine of the Government. h 'With an adverse majority against him on the voter's list, the people or Clinton showed their appreciation of the Liberal candidate by giving him a majority of 67. Had the postal department been so disposed it could have refused the privilege of the mails to many Con- servative weeklies last week for they contained a suppliment that did not comply with the law, because it had neither date of issue nor the name of the paper thereon. Miss Ida Wilken had a very close sihave from what might have been a nasty accident Saturday afternoon when she was passing Couch and Co's store, when a smoothing iron which had been placed on an upstairs window to cool, fell striking her on the hand, slightly burning and bruis- ing the same. Had it struck her head she might have been killed. Tuesday last deprived Clinton of one of its oldest residents in the PAGE 3 This 'Cam • s C n&&a . f l is now avail le, r h ."tntario.

Editorial: The result of the elec- tions on the whole must be gratify ing to the Liberal Party, There is no town in Western On- tario which stood to gain so much by electing a Government supporter as did Goderich. It is all very well to say that a Government must be fair to a constituency represented by an opposition member. It may be fair but it is not human nature to expect that it will look with as much favor on it as if represented by a supporter. Goderich had the bene- fit of the camp last year, not as e matter of fairness but as a ratter of favor, because there was no obliga- tion on the Government to have it there. . . . There was a chance fox Goderich to become the permanent camping ground for Western Ontar- io. As it is there is not now much likelihood of it. The Conservatives there, in their partisan zeal, have thrown away their opportunity, in this respect at least, if not in others, crude oil, fuel oil, gasoline, etc. The industry maintains modern refiner - pipe lines, loading piers, etc., and there is consequently a large importation of machinery and sup- plies. The pitch lake for which Trin- idad is famous produces crude and refined asphalt and road oils, in a large local refinery. Canada is di- rectly connected with the island of Trinidad by ships of the Canadian National Steamships fleet. Blizzard Visits Western Provinces Saturday Clinton Enjoys (1') Thunder Sterna A. first -of -the -season blizzard held sway in Saskatchewan on Sat- urday, sweeping over the province from Alberta to the Manitoba boun- dary, across southern areas and as far north as Saskatoon. Snow piled ' into drifts several feet deep, isol- ating rural conununities. Driven by a high wind, the snow blocked country roads and main highways, and many minor motor accidents were reported while stalled automobiles dotted roadsides. Saturday in Huron County was a balmy, sunny day, a day for outdoor sports, gardening, etc., until the mid- dle of the afternoon, when a thun- derstorm blew up, TRINIDAD LARGEST PRODUCER' CRUDE OIL The island of Trinidad, in the British West Indies, is the largest producer of crude oil in the British Empire, the 1932 prod:tetion being the highest on record, 10,126,085 barrels, which is produced by 16 operating companies and exported as eselVtaaawieluteeloageNtemeaseltreeatrawitjeeseeeeellefresaesuairmemeeele Local -. -t-ileus They Owe You Sales Assistance You know thoroughly well that you have power, in your store, to influence the decision of your customers in regard to what they buy from you.
