Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ball: "Welcome” is a lovely word' it means So many things The warmth of human friendship, th pleasure that it brings. True greetings of the kindly hearts who share what they possess The cheery home, the cosy hearth and joy and happiness, For hospiality does not depend upon our store It's what we mean by "welcome" when our friends are at the door. Thus the poet as expressed for us much better than we can for our- . selves just what your Lome hag al- ways meant to this community. You have been good neighbors kinds friends and wise counciliors both to those of us whom you have always known as well as to those who have come into the neighborhood as strangers: Since the time of your marriage half a century ago most of your hopes, ambitions and friend. ships have been centred in this corn- munity where your family all grew up. We shall miss you from Turner's Church as well as from the home ]:ere. However the silver lining to this cloud is that you are not proving so far away that we cannot see you sometimes. As a community we all join heartily in wishing you many years of health to enjoy in your new home at Goderich. We are sure you will not forget old friends of the "West -End" Tuckersmith but just to remind yon of usand as a token of our respect and good wishes we ask you to accept this table lamp and toaster and may they help to lighten your evenings and brighten your breakfasts.

The Bicycle Enlists For Active Service The comeback of the 'bicycle, which really started in 1936, has been furth- er speeded up by the war, and to come clow to meeting the demand for 1942, manufacturers are• hoping to secure enough material to build about 125,000 this year. In 1941 over one hundred thousand were built over eighty-six thousand were built in 1940, and in, 1939 over -seventy thous- ad were built. In the past year, the main reason for the tremendous upswing was: the trek to the war plants. Many of these plants are located outside of the mmnicipality, and wor9:ere found it was cheaper to cycle to work than to drive in the family car. Too, with the roadways plugged with oars, cycling was oftienes quicker. Those who desired to purehas'e a used bicycle found it most difficult to secure one even in fair condition, and manufacturers were hard pressed to supply the mucin need;c parts and re- pairs. During the latter part of 1941, new bicycles became almost non-ex- istent, but at the present time new models are beginning to trickle through, to the dealers, and are be- ing, g purchased p alnno st as fast theyaa, ' are uncrated. Thus it would appear that the lowly l bicycle, has enlisted: for aetive service, and too, with the decrease of auto. mobiles on the roads and the high, ways, cycling will become safer and easier,, THE CLINTON.NEWS-RECORD OBITUARY GEORGE HASTINGS' There passed away on Sunday, March the 15th, at his home in Gode- rich township, George.
