GODERICH: A. meeting of repre- ntatives of the various churches, abs, societies and other' organza- ons was held Tuesday night in the uncil chamber for the purpose of ganizing a Welfare Board to han- e unemployment relief for the corn- g winter.

I,0C I PI> NOVEMEER BLOCKADES Snow -blocked roads in the middle of November is a very unique exper- ience in this part of the country, but 'that is the experience we are go- ing through at present. Yesterday. the snow:fell almost continuously, until it became well nigh impossible for a ear to travel. The hotels have been fell of travel- lers who could not get on their usual trips, while the garagesr have.been crowded with ears. The London bus did not show up yesterday at all, although the Strat- ford-Goderich bus has been getting through. Trains have been late, but so far are going through. Railway men, can recall bad storms which delayed trains for hours or held thein up for days, • but never one which looked so much like a real blockade in November as the present one. 1904-1907-1917 and 1918 are recalled as having bad storms, Ent perhaps we are getting our worst one over early this year.

REMEMBRANCE DAY OBSERVED Clinton business places closed on Saturday, Remembrance Day, re- maining open the evening before.

Some of the merchants report an extra good day Friday, while others sa that the he t usual Saturday night t yh y g Iuxury or extra buying was not in- dulged in to the same extent. This may have been a result of the stormy night and the state of the roads, however. But the . day was well observed, a great crowd of people attended the service in the town hall, despite the very unfavourable weather on Sat- urday.

Asquith, Stratford weaver, found 8360 in cash tucked away in the centre of a ball of rags which had been sent to him by an Auburn customer toturned into be mn d a rug, but'. it did not take long for a claimant to the money to appear. Last Friday night, 18 balls of car- pet rags, each about 18 inches in diameter, were delivered to Mr. As- quith. They -were to be woven into a rug fpr Mrs, William Weber, of Auburn. Mr. Asquith started to work, winding the rags onto cops which would fit the shuttle of- his weaving machine. The 'rags were motheaten and he had considerable difficulty with there. Tho 15th ball, on which he was worldng was no better than the test. As he neared the core of the hall a strange sight met his gaze. The back of a $5 'hill was showing through the few re- maining strands of oarpet rags. There was not just one bill, how- ever, there was a regular wad of them in five, 10 and 20 -dollar de- nominations. In all there was 8362.. Mr. Asquith might have put the stoney away -it was a small fortrme to him -but he did not clo that. Hie conscience would not let hits, he said, Mrs. Weber, who sent the raga to him, was communicated with. The rags had been given her last fail, she said, by a relative. They had orig- inally belonged to Mrs. Henry Doerr, who died a year ago. Following the latter's death relatives found lame suns of money secreted in - various places about her _home, and relatives believe she had also hidden this mon- ey 'inside.the ball of carpet rags. "I bet I've burned 40 balls of earl pet rags in my- time 'because they were moth eaten. But never again --;trot until I've seen what's in.' the centre," Mr. Asquith is reported to have remarked. LOCAL SCRIBE MAKES GOOD The' editor of a country newspaper retired with a fortune. When asked''• the.secret of his success, he replied: "I attribute my ability to retire with a '$100,000 bank balance, after thirty years in the newspaper field, to close application to duty, pursuing a policy , of strict honesty, always practising rigorous rules of economy and to the recent death of my uncle„ who. left me $98,500."
