FROM THE NEWS -RECORD, NOVEMBER 1, 1900 The . hunting season opens on Thursday, but in brd'er that no time may be lost, parties of huntsmen have already left for the, northern woods. Two parties from. Clinton; the first went on Monday and con- sisted' of J. B. Hoover, Walter Cole, and John Johnson, who will cam near Pogamasing, which is about two .miles from Chapleau oe the main line of the C.P.R. in Algona. Two Chap- lean sports will join them there. Mr. Cale lived in that country once upon. a time and knows it well. E. J. C'an- telon, Prank Fair and E. Holmes, to- gether with two from Dungannon and three from Seaforth, left on Monday for Callander, which is considerably nearer civilization than the grounds chosen by the Hoover party. The -annual convention of the Ep- worth Leagues of the Goderich dist- rict will be held in the Rattenbury Street Church today. Rev. Whiting of Mitchfl will speak. There are 23 Leagues in the district and about 50 delegates are expected to be present. A child in the household of Mr. John McGregor of the 2nd concession. of Stanley has been very ill this week with diptheria, but we understand is now somewhat improved. The market square now looks one hundred percent better than it did a month ago. The committee which planned the improvements did well. Confirmation classes have been be- gun in connection with St. Paul's. The Rev. S. L. Smith will preach at the morning service when the holy communion will be administered. Mr. Samuel A. Ferris, who was formerly a resident of Clinton and went west in March of last year, died at Indian Head, Man., on October 20. The deceased contracted pneumonia last winter, which settled upon his lungs, and rendered him an easy victim to typhoid fever.

CANTELON In Toronto, on Oct. 31st, to Mr. and Mrs. D. F. L. Cant- elon, a daughter. Mr. Alfred > Austin of Missouri, is visiting friends and relatives in Clin- ton and " vicinity for a few weeks. Clinton -needs a bigger hall. This was demonstrated forcibly last week when the Public School put on their patriotic concert on Friday and Sat- urday evenings, and on each evening the hall was crowded to capacity and. people were tuned away. The whole program went off without a hitch. The choruses were well sung and the tableau and drills well executed. Mr. $nd Mrs. W. T. O'Neil an- nounce the engagement of their third daughter, Hazel, to Donald E. Ross, M.B., Swift Current, Sask., son of Mrs. D. Ross, Toronto, the marriage to take place quietly on November tenth. After a couple of years residence in Toronto, Mr, and Mrs. Jos. Town- send have returned to Clinton and are again" Iocated in their cottage, corner of Ontario and Kirk streets. Mrs. H.'B. Kerr, who -expects to leave this week to join her two daughters in Brantford, has rented her house to Mr. Harry Fitzsimons. The place on Ontario street the lat- ter has occupied for some time is owned by Mrs. R. Kutch who will herself reside there at the expiration of her term as Matron of the House of Refuge. Clinton has seven more new Hydro users. WhiTe returning home from the north Sunday evening, Mr. Otto Pink ran into a big rail which had been deliberately placed across the road- way. The result was a serious break in his car, Rowdyism such as that cannot be tolerated and it is up to the constables to locate the guilty party. Nearly two h'-vndred dollars was made by four of the organizations of Wesley -Willis church last week, namely the W,A., W.M,S., the Girl's Club and the Covenant Bible Class. OPEN DEER SEASON IN PART OF BRUCE COUNTY An open deer season from Novem- ber 11th to 16th, inclusive, has been declared in five northerly townships in Bruce County. These include Ama- bel, Albemarle, Eastnor, Lindsay and St. Edmonds. Use of dogs is pro- hibited. Supplementary legislation, follow- ing the registration last month of all shotguns and rifles, now makes it an offense to borrow a shotgun or rifle without first getting written permission from authorities. To borrow a gun, both the .man who is loaning it and the man who bor- rows it must apply for permits. The same thing applies to the purchase of a gun. Certain officials mainly chiefs of police in various municipalities have been designated by the attorney -gen- eral to grant those permits. If an American comes into Can- ada to hunt, he must have a hunting license and a permit for possession of his gun. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE AND HERE IN CANADA By 13. Leslie Emslie The tallc had been of hardships endured by Canadian farmers, when a member of the group drew from his pocket a letter and read it aloud. It was written liy the relative of one well-known to all present and unfold ed a tale of suffering indeed, how once peaceful homes in France were menaced first by the descent of frantic, famishing refugees and then despoiled and defiled by the army of invasion: It told of flight southward, miles of trudging without respite except when taking cover in ditches to escape bombs and bullets from the skies, then of the discovery that the enemy barred the way ahead and of having to retrace those weary steps toward what had once been home. But the enemy had been there. What could not be carried away was smash- ' ed. Gone were all the trinkets and treasurers' of generations. Sadder still, gone was freedom. There re- mained only the instinct and quest for food. That, said the reader, fold- ing the letter, might, cause Canadians to consider the inestimable value of liberty which is worth some sacrifice to retain.

All mes- sages are to be addressed to: The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. 56 York Street, Toronto, Canada Marked: "No;tthern Meshenger." Alt Aboard For Canada Many British boys and girls have gone forth on a big adventure. They have been taken: away sud- denly from their homes and occupa- tions and whisked across the sea to find new homes and friends in other lands. But although it is such a big adventure, it is not the first time that shiploads of boys and girls have set off in the same independent manner to face the unknown, Back in 1870 there were child - evacuees traveling across the At- lantic. There was no war on then -- except the endless war with poverty and neglect and unkindness, but those particular children had no proper homes in which to live and so were being shipped across the sea to make their way in a new country. They were not nearly so lucky as our evacuees today because nobody in England' wanted them, and what was ever worse the Canadians didn't want them either. There were no Red Cross workers waiting to wel- come them on their arrival with milk and biscuits; no motherly women ready to help them with their bag- gage—only grim, uniformed officials frowning down on them and looking as if, for two pins, they would send them a11'back''across the sea again! The Canadians knew that these children were street-arabs who had been left free to roam about the cities by themselves, to steal and beg and fight, to wear dirty clothes, and to sleep in any old hole or corner they could find. The Canadians didn't want a crowd of rowdy, ill-mannered little savages let loose upon their clean, beautiful country, and that was why the officals were waiting on the quay quite prepared to tell them to right- about-turn! A Different Story But those officials had the surprise of their lives. Instead of a rowdy crowd, a set of bright, clean young lads filed down the gangway in. an orderly manner; did, exactly what they were told to do, and replied sensibly and politely to everything that was asked them. "Why," said the pleased Canadians, "we can do with any number of lads like this!" What had happened! These boys had been changed into helpful citizens before they left England by a magic- ian whose mune was Barnardo, and all the magic that had been used had been themagic of love, One of the boys who had first come under DE Barnardo's spell, and who was one of the early evacuees, was Jim Jarvis, Some years earlier Jim was wandering about the streets of London when he found his way into a ramshackle building in which some other boys as ragged as himself were doing lessons. It was a cold wintry day and the bright fire attracted Jim, so worming his way in he crouched in a dark corner until the school was over and the teacher, Dr. Barnardo, was locking the place up. "Here, my lad, get off home to your mother!" said the doctor. "You were nearly locked in for the night" "Well, that'd suit me fine," said Jim. "What, you young rascal? Away home to your mother." "Ain't got no mother." "Well, then, off to your father." "Got no father either." "Away to your home, then, wher- ever it is." "Got no 'ome." "Well, to your friends then." "Ain't got no friends. Oi don't live nowhere." Boys Without Homes Jim's chief covering was a thick coat of dirt. He had no shoes, stock- ings, nor underclothing, only a rag- ged jacket and a lxair of trousers. "Where, then, did you sleep last night?" asked the Doctor. "Down in Whiteehape, along o' the 'ay market, in one o' them carts fill- ed with 'ay." "How was it you came to the school?" "r met a chap as I know, and he tell'd me to come up 'ere to get a. warm. "E sed p'raps you'd let me lie nigh the fire all night." "But we don't keep, open all night." "I won't do no 'arm," said Jim. "And ,it's so cold outside." "Are there other boys in London without homes or'friends?" enquired the doctor. "Oh, yes, lots—'eaps oni em; more'n I could count!" "Now, Jim, if I give you something hot to drink and a place to sleep in, will you show me where some of these boys are to be found?" Jim said he would, and before long he and his new friend were tramp- ing dawn narrow lanes and dismal alleys till they came to a brick wall.' Climbing the wall they found eleven boys asleep in a heap on the roof. "There's lots more,' said Jim. Soon those boys, and hundreds more, found themselves ,exchanging roof -tops for comfortable beds, and streets and alleys for open play- grounds, workshops and. classrooms.

No single pease of the war effort on the home front, is as many sided in its impli- cations and possible effects. It is at once a balance wheel in the national economy, and an important source of money to be converted into the weap- ons of war, War Savings in a democracy can produce in voluntary fashion what the totalitarian states can do only under the most rigorous pressure and controls. By regular investment in War Savings Certificates, our people can make an important contribution to the war program; they can avoid inflationary price movements; and they can build a reserve of purchas- ing power to tide them over the possible rainy days of post-war ad- justment. Canadians are eager to share in a vigorous prosecution of the cause of winning the war. As the government views your services, I would say that the National Chairmen of the War Savings Committee, and each of the nine Provincial Chairmen, have un- dertaken a high mission that can pro- vide an avenue of participation for every .man, woman and child, and also save Canada from many of the scars of We all know that war involves sacrifices that must be faced and borne by all. Our men and women have answered the call to the colours, and no wdrds can adequately describe the sacrifice they are prepared to make. At home our sacrifices take a material form. War Savings actually mean intelli- gent manageemnt of one's own af- fairs in relation to the war effort. Saving alone is not enough—to have its maximum effectiveness it must be wisely directed savings. We must save on products and services which can be directly diverted to war pur- poses. Many things which are not luxuries in the usual sense of the word are luxuries now if we are to be honest and thorough in .our deter- mination to put first the winning of the war. For example, a dollar spent oto imports, even of ordinary neces- sities, from non -Empire countries, may ba just one dollar less available for imports of war necessities from such countries. Dollars spent on products other than those wholly es• sentrnl which require a large amount of skilled mechanical labour reduces the amount of labour available for the production of aeroplanes, tanks, motor transport, and other war es- sentials. It is the stern responsiblilty of every Canadian to consider whether or not his spending hampers the ef- when those who had justified the. doctor's trust' and confidence - Jim among them — were chosen to be sent overseas on the biggest adven- ture of their young lives, And that is how the first child -evacuees march- ed into Canada.—Christian Science Monitor, fort to equip our soldiers, sailors and airmen with the best and most com- plete equipment. In other words. our private buying should not be compet- ing with the Department of Munitions and Supply for products that involve foreign exchange or construction and mechanical labour. War Savings Certificates provide a medium through which Canadians can systematically invest a part of cur- rent income in a storehouse of purch- asing power to be used in later years. Much of the agony of the adjustment from wartime to peacetime pursuits of the nation will be avoided if our people have saved regularly while all are busy producing the sinews of war. You, the members of the War Sav- ings Committee, will do a fine service if you carry this message back to the people of your respective provinces. Spend wisely, always with a thought for the war effort; save regularly, with a thought for the future; join Canada's army of regular War Sav- ers. This army of War Savers will help effectively to protect the future of this country when peace returns. Death Separates Famous Wendorf Twins Hanover was saddened last Tues- day, when word was passed around that William F. Wender!, one of Han.- over's famous twins, said to be the oldest' in Canada, had died at his home early that morning, at the ad- vanced age of 93 years. In failing health for some time, he had been seriously ill for several weeks, and his death was not unexpected. His brother, Charles, survives, but he, too, is in poor health. Born in. Mecklenburg, Germany, on April 8, 1847, the twins received their early education in that country and William fought in the Franco-Prus- sian war in 1870. Soon after the close of the war, he was married to Aug- usta Hintz, who came from a small place near Bostock, Germany, and they canoe to Canada in 1873. Coming directly to Hanover, they have made. their home there ever since. It was a little more than two years later that his twin brother, Charles, also came to Canada and the two men have been inseparable compan- ions ever since. They were employed for a time in the making of furniture in the old Nichol plant, but later both went into the livery business, one at each end of the town, and while there was the greatest rivalry between the pair, they wore good natured about it and got along well together. They have been living retired for the past 20 years, and during more, recent years they were almost con- stantly in each other's company and! took a great pride in the fact that they were the oldest twins living in Canada. They were always held in the highest esteem by the people of Hanover and their name was a house- hold one throughout the town. It was said of them that their relationship was arways of the pleasantest kind, and that no serious differences mare red their lives. In addition to his brother, William^ Wendorf is survived by his wife, who is not enjoying good health at the present time. Ile also leaves three sons and two daughters, Samuel and Henry of Hanover, William, of Dun- das, Sara (Mrs. J. Walls) of Kitch- ener, and Sophia (Mrs. S. Hughes). of Vancouver. 1 If at first you don't succeed Try, try to pay us a little on your subscription, if it is in arrears.
