Subscribers are asked to look at their labels and if the date does not correspond with payments to come in or phone in and ask •about it. We like our subscribers to keep an eye on their labels at all times. Sometimes when subscribers happen to renew their subscription just after we have corrected our list and there is some delay in the change of label, they call us up about it. We do not mind that at all, in fact we like it, it shows that they are watchful of their labels. Look at yours, dear reader, and if it does not show a forward date come in and let us give you a receipt up to the end of 1034, lots of our labels read so, don't be behind the times, A number, howaver, are a bit in arrears and should be brought up to date at Once. AS AN INDICATION' OF THE TURN OF THE TIDE FIN- ancially, we have been -,putting on several new subscriptions in re- cent weeks. We should like to put on some more, a couple of hun- dred or so. At the present price of The News -Record, $1.60 per year, it should be in every home in the district. It is in the major- ity, and many more people read it, but every householder should be getting his own copy weekly. Now is a good time to subscribe, as many of your neighbors have decided. Colne and join the throng. WE WOULD SUGGEST A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE News -Record as an aeceptable Christmas Gift to a neighbor, friend or member of the family who is setting up housekeepdng or who is absent from home, It is inexpensive, will be appreciated highly, and that not only once, but during the fifty-two weeks of the year. Here'sa valuable suggestion for early Christmas shopping. tt SOMETHING MORE WE WISH TO SAY ABOUT OURSELVES .- (that's the trouble with people who talk about themselves and one of the reasons we so seldom do it, one finds so many things to say), but this we should like to say, arid this applies to correspon- dents as well as the general public, when sending in news do not wait until the last minute, 'send it in as early as possible. Some- body said to us the other% day when we protested that we wished a report early: 'Tut you do not publish the paper until Thursday anyway." No, we do not, but if all our type had to be set Wednesr day afternoon we should hot publish until Saturday. The ,report of any happening over the week -end should reach us not later than Monday. If all such news items were set, read and out o£ the way. then we should have time to attend to later happenings as they oc- cur. We appreciate very much the assistance of our friends in getting in the news and the men or woman who sends in such re- ports as soon as the event happens is held in the highest esteem.

Stillman, ex- president of Imperial Oil Company, which occurred at WeIIesley Hospital on Saturday. Chief L. Stong, of Clinton had a long acquaintance with Mr. Stillman, having worked for him the first day he arrived in Canada, in 1897 and he had been clean across the country in his service, Mr. Still- man being in charge of construction work for a time. He had only last July retired from the presidency of the Company. Mr. Stong speaks in the highest terms of the qualities of the man and the pleasure and satisfaction he had had while associated with him. This Mr. Stillman must not be confused with the Stillman whose matrimonial affairs received so much publicity in both Canada and the United States a few years ago. They were of an entirely different family. although having the same name and being interested in many of the same pursuits, both making a hobby of yatching. HOCKEY NOTES The meeting called last Friday ev- ening for the re -organization of a town hockey league, was held in Bartliff's restaurant, a church' organ, ization being busy decorating the council chamber for a bazaar the following day. The attendance was good and the work of getting the or- ganization set up was gone on with. On notion of John Butler and E. Taylor, Sam Castle was elected to the chair, for the meeting, while the office of secretary was given to John Butler on motion of S. Castle and E. Fulford, Officers for the season are as follows: Hon. -Pres.: E. Hall. Pres., H. Bartliff. Sec.1Treas., John Butler. Executive committee, C. Judd, B. Gliddon, W, Cudmore, E. Fulford.

Anyone hav- ing knowledge of its whereabouts kindly commnnieate with the presi- dent, secretary or any member of the executive. I. 4 • Clinton . will also have a strong team for the intermediate' 0. 11. A. group, which will probably Consist of Clinton, Goderioh, Mitchell, Seaforth and Wingham. The locals are for- tunate in having Ross McEwan, for- merly of the .Stratford Indians, as manager and coach and C. W. Draper, last season's manager, as assistant. The line-up of players will be much the sane as last season, though some new blood may be introduced. A meeting is called for . Monday night in the Council Chamber to organize.

I f ONLY ONE SHOT' IN GREY Late last Saturday afternoon Ed.. Ritchie, garage man at Shallow Lake, shot the only deer obtained by hunt- ars in Grey County during the four- day open season in that County. Mr. Ritchie is related to the Crich fam- ily of Clinton and duck hunters from . Clinton on the way up north have called on him, Mr. Gordon Luning- hanie remembering him well. A petition is being sent in from hunters at Owen Sound and Shallow. Lake asking that the open season for deer be extended as the full license has to be paid and the deer being comparatively scarce the chances of 1 bagging one is rather slim. Only one ,day of the fon lost week was. suitable for hunting, they state. Considering how the deer seem to be increasing in this county 'it may not be long until an open season is petitioned for in Huron. RECORDS FOR TEN YEARS As a good many folk seem to think I November 1933 has broken a record for snow and wintery weather The ' News -Record asked Mr. G. T. Baird ! of Stanley, who keeps weather re- • ports for the Government, for statis- tics, which he has kindly supplied for the past ten years. We find that November actually broke one record, that of snowfall, in - that time and equalled that for high temperature, It will be remembered that the week before the snow storm a day or so was like summer. The highest temperature during the month so far is 70. But while we felt that we really had a pretty cold spell during the past fortnight the temperature never fell below 10 de- groes above zero, while in 1930 it fell to 5. But here's the figures, and they are official. Snow- Lowest Highest fall temp. Temp.

The big plow came up Highway No. '4, Monday morning. Mr. Ian McLean, son of bIr. K. M. McLean, publisher of The Huron Ex- positor, Seaforth, is now in the law' office of Mr. F. Fingland, Clinton. The big snow plow has been going up and down Highway No. 8, piling up the soft snow, which is being hauled away to the vacant town lot in Mary street. E. Campbell and H. Gibbs, former Clinton boys, now of Stratford, play. ed with Stratford hockey team in , Toronto last week, Gibbs scoring a goal. The team came off winners. Owing to shortage of water the farmers are hoping the snow will' soon melt and fill up their wells and' ponds. The report is that even low swamp land, which is usually flood- ed before this date, are still dry. Mr. Geo. Ii, Jefferson, principal of the Clinton Public school,. was to have addressed the young men's class - of Wingham United church at their anniversary Ion Sunday afternoon,. but was prevented by the state of" the roads.
