Itseems to be a,popular sport. • r• Monday •was an unlucky day for 'Conservatives, as they were. defeated in three bye -elections, in New Bruns- wick, Quebec and Saskatchewan, • Two months from yesterday will ' he Christmas Day. Have you start- ed to "do your Christmas shopping early?" Anyway, you can't say, we • didn't remind you. • Ontario is again making an effort to 'ship in Alberta coal, The, great -hinderanee has been the price ,which has been too near the .pries of the 'imported fuel. This, it is said, has now been remedied and Alberta coal ••can be procured for from two te, three and a half dollars cheaper than the imported. It is estimated that "Canada pays thirty millions of doI- " Jars per. year for fuel, most of it 'imported. If even half that amount 'were :being paid for the Canadian product it would mean a good deal to this country. • • • . Mr. T D. Davis has sold The Mit- oheli Advocate to Mr. Gordon V. Mounteer, lately editor of the Tren- ton Courier -Advocate, who takes hu mediate possession The Mitchell Addeeete was found- • ed in 1860 by the late W. R. Davis and his brother, J. E. Davis, and has -ever since been carried on by a member of the Davis family, Mr. H. D. Davis being a son of W. R. ' He " had been-, associated with his father • in the publication of the paper from 1893 until his death, since which he has been sole editor and publisher. '.,Seventy-three years of continuous ownership in the one family is a unique experience for a newspaper ' in a young country like Canada, It is small, wonder' that Mr. Davis says in his valedictory this week that "It • is very reluctantly and with a great deal of thought and I might say sor- row, that I pass this work on." His fellow -newspaper men will al- so feel sorrow if the genial "Hal" • drops out of their company. His affabieness and readiness to co -.oper- ate have made him friends every- where and a .district gathering of newspaper men would hardly seem complete without him, What wa are wondering is what he's going to do all winter -without •that weekly paper to getout and no golfing on. 'He should have waited 'until spring to sell out. But all his • newspaper associates will wish him and his charming partner in life con- ' tinued good health and good fortune. At a meeting of the Clinton Busi- ness Men's Association on Monday 'night it was decided •that the busi- ness places of: the town would only close on Remembrance Day for the couple of hours while the service of remembrance is going on. The busi- ness- men were no doubt influenced in this by the fact that Remembrance Day this year comes on Saturday, which is undoubtedly the retail mer, chants' best business day. Also by the fact that some of the stores would probably not close, even if the majority did. Another influence working is the fact that last year, while nearly all the smaller towns observed Nov. llth as a holiday, the cities did not do so, There was no uniformity about it. We should like to see Remembrance Day duly observed, not only in the • small town and village, but in the big cities as -well. And there does not seem to be any real reason why it is not so observed. We keep the 24th of May, which was but the birthday of a queen which the pre- sent generation does .not remember, We keep thanksgiving day each year, not as a day of thanksgiving, as it is very seldom marked by anything but by the consumption of a lot of food ' -that most of us would be mach bet- ter without. As we have before remarked, if there are too many holidays, thanks- giving day might be dropped, a Sun- day being observed as a day of • shanks for the year's blessings, as is done at present, and Nov. 11th observed as Remembrance Day. And' -we believe, in time this day will be properly obseryed, but there nc need for'any delay if the significance of the day is properly appreciated. • • • • • The following editorial from The Detroit Free Press is one indication: of the spirit and feeling across the', southern border in regard to die-! - armament. The partial failure of, the disarmament parley is' just' an ex, -ruse for going on with perfecting the, war machine. It looks•;as if Great "-Britain were the only country really' .anxious: for, disarmament. 'Nowthat it -has ;become high- ly: probable, that .no, -general dis ' armament Convention ' will, be - written in the near future, the chances of .getting the --,United ' -States 'Army's rolling equil5ment modernised should be better than for some time past. Almy men. :are anxious to ' motorize their: ''transportation, but have been 7 held in check by Government of-' • fieials concerned with cjuestions • of finance and national policy. The money prthlem ,disatipear ed when Army motorization was' authorized out- of the. Public W rl s ' fund. Military" • men promptly - (hafted a $60,000,000 program, planning to spend one- third of the sum in creating of- fense units of armored cars and tanks. Most of the rest would go for defensive equipinen,'and to build up the Air Corps, These plans were held in ab- eyance, however, until the course of events at Geneva became clear; The United States wished to do nothing that would seen- ingly detract from the- sincerity of its Idisarinam'ent proposals, and it wished, also, to avoid buy- ing or building units which might have to be scrapped if a disarmament agreement could be reached. • Such reasons for delay no Ionger exist. The Army's •e- quipnient needs to be brought up to date, and the PWA has the money and authority to do so. The sensible thing is to go a- head." GODERICH TOWNSHIP Mr. and Mrs. Robt.: ' McAllister of Goderieh are spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin McAllister this week, owing to the illness of the lit- tle daughter of the, latter, .Marlene, who is suffering an attack of pneu- monia.

HISTORIC NORTHERN WASTE NOW SEA-PbRT When Henry Hudson entered the bay which bears his name in his search for. the Northwest Passage and viewed the wastes of water and barren shores, little did he dream that in the 'tame month in which he first entered the bay, August, 323 years later, there would be a modern ocean port with a huge elevator at the terminus of a railway line from' the 'interior, that a train full of excurtioni'sts would be arriving there and that an ocean-going stea,. mer would be unloading cargo from Europe preparatory to taking on a return cargo of grain.. Such is the story of the port of Churchill' anti the railway which connects the in- terior .with that port. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD . f.4e.r , Member of.

The regular market day is being transferred to Friday. The munici- pality has no option in view of par- liament's decree, which sets aside November 11'as Remembrance Day out of respect for the war dead. "I believe it is up to the civic gov- ernment to set the example for the community with regard to Remem- brance Day," the mayor said. "This. means the city hall and 'the market will have to be closed for the entire day in the same manner Christmas is observed. The municipal authori- ties would be accountable to the Do- minion Government if business were carried on as usual by the civic gov- ernment. Wo are net taking any chances of prosecution or reprimand for not observing the day in accord- ance with the act. "We are not accountable for what businessmen, merchants and menu - lecturers do with respect to the ob- servance of the day. If they see fit to carry on, it is up to them. They will have to take -their own chances. The city has no authority to en- force the holiday. That is the pre rogative the Federal Government and the :Government has interpreted the observance by an announcement that the day is to be kept the same as Sunday or Christmas. Business people will be accountable to the Federal Government for the manner in which they comply with the act of Parliament."
