A "Counter's for Finer Jewellery for• over Half a Century in Huron County"' SPECIAL MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL A special meeting was called by Mayor Waters for Tuesday evening. All members were present. His Worship explained that the time limit for Mr. Manning to trans- fer the town's securities to a joint holding of the keys to town's safety deposit box, had expired, and al- though he had asked the Clerk twice for the key and had been promised it in September, this understanding. bad not been kept. The. Ontario Municipal Board had written asking disposition of this matter as ordered in Auditors' report and passed, by resolution of the Council some time ago. The bond's had now been sold; and he, personally, was being, blamed for the situation. People were laugh- ing and he was there to carry out the town's business to best advant- age,' but could not get co-operation from Mr. Manning, The matter was open for discussion. Councillor Paisley asked if the Clerk had been notified of meeting and why he was not 'there. Reevea th Tr war,chairman a as of Finance Committee stated the ques- tion of a joint holding of the key to Clinton's securities had become a joke among other municipal circles. He understood it was even statutory, as every box had two keys, but noth- ing had been done, although the Council's attention had been drawn to Auditors' report some time ago. His understanding of the "Gentle- man's Agreement," when Mr. Man- ning resigned last January, was that a new clerk be advertised for in October, taking ober office in Jan- uary. In reply to what he suggested, he thought the auditors' should be present when key was turned over. Councillor Walker asked what cost would be of such an audit, and was advised it would probably be included in year's total cost. Councillor Agnew stated he .re- membered plainly the agreement with Mr. Manning and that a new clerk would be hired in Oetebar, hav- ing November and December before assuming office. Some discussion followed as to pro- cedure and Councillor McMurray nnov- i, seconded by Councillor Paisley, that the Clerk be instructed to turn over key to the Mayor and Reeve, who would check over safety security box in presence of town's auditors, sante to be done as quickly as pos- sible. Moved by the Reeve, seconded by Councillor ' Aiken, that Council ad- journ. Purchase Epps Transport Mr. 13. W.

'The guest speaker for the after-dinner program was Thomas Pryde, ex -reeve of Exeter, a Great War veteran who delivered- a patriotic address on aviation, a sub- ject in which he is well versed, hav- ing been a mechanic in the air force in the last war. The world owes much, said the speaker, to the men who brought aviation out of the embyro stage and through the experimental stage. They did it largely with their own re- sources. Aviation has gone far in development since the first machines manufactured by 'the Wright Broth- ers. Many unsuccesiul trial flights were macle,_many changes in mater= ials and construction before the air- plane became practical for passenger and goods transportation. Used as a weapon of warfare for the first tune in the first World War it has surpassed all other means of warfare and has made war the most horrible thing the imagination can conceive. The superiority of the pil- ots of the Royal Air Force over those of the enemy was spoken of and the important 'part Canada will be filling before the present war is fought to a finish with her trained pilots, the fin- est the world can produce was stress- ed. The extent and importance of the works being pushed to completion at Port Albert and at Sky Harbor was also outlined. The speaker was introduced by Lion K. G. Waters, mayor of Clinton. Representative of visiting clubs call- ed upon spoke bridfly. Musical selec- tions by the Milverton quartet were a feature of the program. Lion M. G.

News Paper Week In this era of fast moving and conficting local, national and world events, it is fitting that we should recognize and pay tribute to the weekly press of Canada for: the valuable service it constantly renders to the people in presenting the true fact of news happenings to the great reading public. -• .. In this critical time when the very foundations of Democracy are threatened from within and without, it-is.vitally important that we demonstrate our full support of those agencies and institutions such as the weekly press whose ,aims and efforts are.indispensable to an enlightened public opinion. Since October 1st to 8th has bedn set aside as Newspaper Week in Canada, and since' it is fitting that the; people of our community join in this Dominion observance, ]:.deem it a privilege to proclaim the same period as Newspaper Week in. Clinton and do hereby urge that all citizens give serious thought to the benefits they themselves derive from the weekly press which is free to publish all the facts and which is rendering an invaluable community service. --KEN. G. WATERS, Mayor. Scout News The Boy Scouts will resume their meetings on Fri- day, Oct, 4th, fol- lowing the summer recess, and boys of twelve and over will be welcome.

The Reporter You may pick up any paper, publish- ed in most any town, And you just glance at the headlines and your eye runs up and down Along the printed columns, with the. i"ads" of store and shop, For maybe you are busy, and you haven't time to stop— Then, all at once your glance will light upon a bit of news That you've simply got to finish, no matter what you lose— A fire or a murder, or perhaps a baseball game, And written by some fellow who for- got to sign his name, It may be something funny, or it may be something sad, Or dramatic, or pathetic—or perhaps makesyou mad it > Telling of some steal or other that's been made by trusted men, Showing up a gang of grafters who are subjects for the "pen" Anyhow, you read it twice, and save it up to regcl aloud When you get back to the office. And it passes through the crowd, Talked of by ten thousand people— yes, and quoted as it came From the pen of some poor devil who forgot to sign his name! He writes—this unknown genius—on all subjects, good and bad, And he has the biggest audience that author ever had. The nation laughs and weeps to read the tales he has to tell, And he has to tell them quickly, so he has to tell them well. lie't not obliged to write his stuff and then sit back and wait Por readers half a lifetime — to- morrowYll be to late! And yet no book or monument will er'er record his fame, For when he's done his writing, he forgets to sign his name! BAYFIELD Mrs. A. Shields who has spent the summer months with Mrs. S.

Born in the darkness of superstition its light has brought knowledge. Reared in adversity, its power has transformed thought. In silence, 1 its has led the world forward, moulding opinions, religious and political. Its revealing light has penetrated abysses of ignorance, and, on the sure foundations it has lard, commerce and industry have built a new world.
