WHAT CLINTON WAS DOING IN THE
GAY 'NINETIES
[lo You Remember What Happened During, The Last
Decade Of The Old Century?
FROM THE NEWS -RECORD,
DECEMBER 20th, 1900 ..
Mr. Sydney Jackson, who for the
past couple of years has conducted
"The Prescription Drug Store" has,
disposed of the business to Mr. R. P.
Reekie of St. Thomas.
Mr. Jacob Miller has sold car mot-
ors to the following parties lately:
William Miller, Hullett; Homer And-
rews) Clinton; John Middleton, God-
erich township.
It is understood that the congrega-
tion of the Anglican church at Am-
herstburg has extended a unanimous
call to Rev. J. F. Parke, rector of St.
Paul's, that the Bishop has stamped
it with the seal of approval, and that
Mr. Parke has the matter under con-
sideration with the possibility of ac-
cepting.
Clinton Camp No. 76 Woodmen of
the World, celebrated their third an-
nual 'dinner
nnual''dinner at the Hotel Clarendon
on Thursday night last. The Wood-
men has the reputation of getting up
the best dinners and after dinner
oratory of •any society in this town
and feel that the dinner of last Thurs-
day was their best. About sixty
Woodmen and their friends were
present.
About $7000 has been subscribed
towards the building fund of the
church to be erected next year by the
congregation of the Rattenbury street
church.
Mr. C. Hoare has made the follow-
ing sales during last week: to 'Mize

ANOTHER FRENCH GENERAL
JOINS FREE FRANCE
w
GENERAL GEORGES CATROUX,
former Governor of French Indo-
China, on his arrival in London. He
refused to carry out the instruc-
tions of the surrender government
of Vichy, joined. instead the army
of General de Gaulle to fight for
a free and unfettered France.
WHERE SHEPHERDS CAME
Mr. William' Patton of Goderichtown-
ship, a piano, and to Mr. Geo. Sterl-
ing of the Bayfield Line, a piano
case organ.
Owing to the heavy weather on the.
Atlantic the . S. S. Lake Champlain
with the Canadian volunteers .will
probably not arrive at St. John as.
soon as expected. As a consequence
the reception to Private Webb will
be delayed a day or se.
Mr. Joseph Rattenbury shipped a
pair of his Andalusian fowl to a
Toronto fancier the other day. His
pen of Andalusians contain some of
the finest birds of that breed to be
found in this part of the province,
including a July cockerel which a
"termer" would hardly buy from a big
fancier.
Mr. R. J. McGill who came home
from Chicago to attend the funeral
of his • mother, the late Mrs. James
McGill, returned to the city on Sat-
urday. He has an important position
with a big dry goods house which
wanted him back for the Christmas
trade.
Mr. James Holloway, a prosperous
farmer of Southern Wisconsin, re-
turned the other day on a visit to his
brother, Mr. Thos. Holloway. He was
at one time a resident of this place
but it is forty years since he went
West so notes the changes since his
departure. Clinton has almost been
made over.
When The Present Century
Was Young
FROM THE NEWS -RECORD,
DECEMBER 23rd, 1915
Mrs. William Stevens of William
street, Clinton, was a successful com-
petitor at the Canadian Handicraft
Exhibition held in Montreal in Nov.,
carrying off first prize for handmade
bobbin lace.
Mr, John Jackson, the youngest old
man in Clinton or hereabouts, for
though he is eighty-eight years of
age he has moved about like a man
of not more than seventy, had the
misfortune to meet with a painful
accident Monday afternoon. He had
been down town and while returning
home on an unusually slippery spot
his feet went from under him and
the violent fall caused a dislocation of
the right shoulder. The surgeon fixed
him up and barring the effects of
the shock to the system, Mr. Jackson
will be himself again in a few days.
Mr. Melvin Crich has taken the
local agency for the Prudential, suc-
ceeding Mr. Glen Cook, who has en-
listed in the 1G1st Battalion.
A largely attended and enthusiastic
recruiting meeting was held in the
town hall on Monday evening.. Lieut. -
Col, Combe presided and addresses
were given by- Rev. S. J. Allin and
Mr. A. H. Musgrove, M.P.P., Wing -
ham. During the evening a choir of
thirty or so of the boys in khaki
rendered several choruses and a quar-
tette consisting of Quartermaster
Capt. Allen and three members of his
staff, Messrs. Fred Thompson, Lloyd
Wilken and Wilmer Wallis sang with
much acceptance, Before the close
of the meeting an opportunity was
given for enlistment and five young
men gave in their names. This was
the first recruiting meeting held here
and it was considered a most success.
ful one.
A child's imagination needs some-
thing small which it can seize and
adopt as its very own. The things I
remember most vividly front those
early days are tiny nooks of mead-
ows, woodland, and hill . . .
As I advanced in years I became
less interested in those fanciful nooks
than in the hills themselves, where
the shepherds lived and wrought. I
had my first introduction to an old
and happy world. I would be out at
dawn to "look the hill," delighting in
the task, especially if the weather
were wild. I attended every clipping,
where shepherds came from ten miles
round to lend a hand. I helped to
drive sheep to the local market and
sat, heavily responsible, in a corner
of the auction -ring. I became learned
in the talk of the trade, and no bad
judge of sheep stock. Those border
shepherds, the men of. the long stride
and the clear eye, were a great race -
1 have never known a greater. The
narrower kinds of fanaticism, which
have run riot elsewhere in Scotland,
rarely affected the Borders. Their
people were "grave livers," in Words -
worth's phrase, God-fearing, decent
in all the relations of life, and sup-
reme masters of their craft. They
were a fighting stock because of their
ancestry, and of a noble independence.
As the source of the greatest ballads
in any literature they had fire and
imagination, and some aptitude for
the graces of life. They lacked the
dourness of the conventional Scot,
having a quick eye for comedy, and,
being in themselves wholly secure,
they were aristocrats with the fine
manners of an aristocracy. By them
I was admitted into the secrets of a
whole lost world of pastoral. I acquir-
ed a reverence and affection for the
"plain people," who to Walter Scott
and Abraham Lincoln were what mat-
tered most in the world. I learned
the soft, kindly, idiomatic Border
speech ... I have never had better
friends, and I have striven to acquire
some tincture of their 'philosophy of
Life, a creed at once mirthful and

"GOOD NEWS"
"Behold, I bring you good tidings
of great joy."—Luke 2:10.
Every word of the Gospel is a joy-
bell. In Eastern poetry they. tell of
a wondrous tree, on whioh grew gold-
en
olden apples' and silver` bells. Every
time the breeze went by and tossed.
the fragrant branches, a shower of
the golden apples fell and the bells
chimed' their sweet and airy music.
Like this tree of fable is the Gospel-
tree, ever dropping rich and mellow;
fruits and ringing joy -bells, whose
music thrills our hearts with its cel-
estial sweetness. The Gospel is : al-
ways good news. Who Was ever made
sad by it? It brings good: news to
the guilty sinner when it comes to
tell him of forgiveness. It brings
good news to the struggling good • in
the strife of temptation when it
comes to offer hint help to overcome.
It brings good news to the man or
woman who has foiled, and is in
despair over a ruined life and hopes
dashed to the dust, when it says,
"You may rise, even yet, to a glor-
ious life." Yes, the Gospel brings
good news to the mourner when it
breathes comfort and assurance of
Divine sympathy and love, and a
promise that good shall come out of
sorrow.
tude of the heavenly host who praise
God ;saying,
"Glory to God in the highest and
on earth peace, -good -will to men."
"When the dark clouds round you
gather,
When life's mist obscures the way, .
Christ will set the joybells ringing,
If you will His Word obey.
In the time of earthly sorrow,
When all earthly comfort fails,
He will set the joy -bells ringing,
If His will in you prevails."
Yes, wherever the Gospel goes it
tells good news, never bad. Think
what joys it has started in this world,
what sadness it has chased away,
what ruin it has resored to beauty.
Think, if you will, of the hymns of
joy that have been sung along these
Christian centuries, and are yet echo-
ing in countless hearts. Think of the
heavenly songs in which millions will
unite eternally. Then remember that
all this song and gladness will be but
the prolonged echo of that joy which,
the angel proclaimed. But we must
be sure that we let this good news
into our hearts, else we can never
share this great gladness.
"You may have the joy -bells ring-
ing in your heart,
And a peace that from you never
will depart;
Walk the straight and narrow way,
Live for Jesus every day,
Then He'll keep the joy -bells ring-
ing in your heart."

"UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN"
From the birth of 'the Child 'Jesus
the world has been different. The
year of our Lord means a new age;
another beginning; another start, for
humanity. The old regime had given
us the foundations. Now, the upper
structure 'should begin with the dawn
of the new day. "And. a Child shall
lead them."
All the knowledge, Truth, Freedom
and Loyeawere brought together and
expressed in His wonderful personal-
ity.
The ideals that preceeded Him were
brought together and given expres-
sion in this "Babe" who should grow
in "Wisdom. and Stature and in fav-
or with God and man."
Heaven and Earth combined to an-
nounce the Meth of this child, and
while .Shepherds watched their flocks
by night, the angels of the Lord
canoe down, and glory shone around.
The representatives of wisdom of
the east saw His Star and came to
worship him. "Unto us a Son is
born"; Announce it! Sing it with
cresendo! And His name shall be
called :Wonderful, Counsellor, the
Mighty God, the. Everlasting Father".
God's .best. The likens of Himself.
The redemptive plan expressed in His
'greatest love to the world—His only
begotten Son, full of Grace and
Truth.
A leader of the ages: who travelled
the road of life before us, and like
a Shepherd tenderly leads us. All
peoples look to Him for leadership.
No other character stands on the
horizon of life who commands our
full respect. What shall we de with
Him: Just worship Him; just adore
Him; just sing and praise Him. It is
a time of joy—but the purpose of it
all is to redeem; to save people from
their sins, to proclaim the accept-
able year of the Lord. The Spirit
of the Lord was upon Him to preach
deliverance to the captives.
The Prince of Peace: Look at the
world today. Not because Christ fail-
ed is their such destruction and death.
But because nations have not tried
to carry out His programme of the
Kingdom of God. Man has not yet
reached those glorious ideals eesprea-
sed by His outstanding life.
Nevertheless there He stands, the
Great Peacemaker, paramount over
all saying, "Come unto Me, all ye:
ye nations cone and learn of Me.
Love God and love man.
When the snr.oke of battle has
cleared away, and the instruments of
war have fallen into the dust—there
will remain the Child, the Son, the
Prince of Peace with forgiveness and
love.
"Brightest and best of the Sons of
the morning, '
Dawn on our darkness and lend us
shine aid,
Star of the East, the horizon
adorning,
Guide when: our infant Redeemer
is laid."
Than we should in turn become joy -
bearers, by ourselves, repeating the
good news, and likewise by letting
all about us see in us what deep,
victorious joy the Gospel of Christ
can give.

News -Record, A Merry Christmas

REV. ANDREW LANE,
Wesley -Willis United Church
suddenly interrupted by a call from
God and His Heavenly. Hosts. After
all what value is the watching, of a
few sheep compared to the confiden-
tial message of God, which is to be
for all the world? The spirit of God'
entered into their hearts in such a
way that the sublime qualities of the
human :soul were brought into play.
Wheresoeaver the Spirit of Christ-
mas may be recognized, you will see
people reacting in -much the ' same
way. In this year of Grace, one thous-
and nine hundred and forty, one
thinks of the words of an old favour-
ite song: r
"Many are the hearts that are
weary to -night,
Waiting for the dawn of peace."
Our answerto this supreme re-
quest is simply this—"Fear not. For
behold I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all p50-
ple." Here then is a message of
faith for all Christian people to
cherish.
To all the readers of The News-
Reeord, Christmas Greeting .and Good
Wishes for the New Year.
Christmas is the season of great
gladness. This year our joy is mar-
red by the terror and tragedy of war.
Though far removed in person from
the scene of destruction and death,
yet in spirit, we suffer with our
brethren overseas.
How like our time and the time
of Jesus! Nations under the heel of
Rome then; nations under the heel of
Hitler now. Into a seething tumult-
uous world Jesus came preaching
glorious news, "The Kingdom of God
is at hand." By which He meant that
the power of God is here in human
life and available to men for the
conquest of evil and sin and for the
changing of the world. Many be-
lieved his message, availed them-
selves of the power, became the child-
ren of the Kingdom, and mightily
changed, the world.
Our world has slipped terribly from
its Christian moorings. It is a seeth-
ing restless world like tl;ot of the
first century. Jesus conies, to it
preaching his ancient message which
is still glorious news, "The. Kingdom
of God is at hand"—the power of
God is available to conquer evil end
sin and to make a new and better
world -a world of peace' a.nd good-
will,
But let men and nations remember
that the power of God is not physical
force. The best 'physical force can
secure for the world is victory and
an armistice with millions of men of
ill will. The world had this from
1918 to 1939. It needs more than
this. It needs peace — real peace.
This can only be :secured by men o£
good will. Men of good will are not
produced by physical force but by
the power of love, which is the power
of Goth, operating in' all human tela-
tionships.
So while we pray and work for
victory and an armistice let ais clo

REV. ,A. H. O'NEIL,
St. Paul's Church, Clinton
Once again Christmas approaches
and it is my happy privilege, for the
second time, to send you, greetings
and hest wishes.
The central theme of the Christmas
message is the good news of a Sav-
iour. The good news was sung by the
angels. We see it before our eyes as
our Saviour walks through the pages
of the Gospel, fulfilling the deepest
needs of all He meets. He hag done
the same thing all down the centuries.
He does it for countless numbers this
very day who put their trust in Him,
and I hope that you are one of them.
In the midst of our problems and
troubles, whether individual or Na-
tional, we come again to the good
news of Christmas. Jesus walks be-
side us through the ways of life as
Friend and Saviour. Until we kms
Him as our Saviour, we know not the
fullness of the Christmas good news.
Many people profess to be Christians
but are very indifferent to the true
Way of Life as taught by our Lord.
Let us all, this Christmas time, not
budge one another, or compare our
lives with others and praise ourselves
that we are so righteous, but look to
the perfect life of the Saviour and
humbly try, clay by day, to be more
like Him and nialce life a little hap-
pier for those whom we meet.
The Guiding Star
With swift, expectant steps they
journeyed on,
And cared not for the darkness of
the night:
(How fair the sight those Wise
Mem looked upon—
The sign from heav n, the star's
resplendent lightl)
Their eyes fixed ever on that
changeless gleam,
They walked: in faith, their steps
ware led: aright
To where Heaven lay—to Christ,
the perfect Light.
O world grown sick with longing
for a sign,
There is a road that leadeth from
the night!
Shake off thy hate, thy sin, all
things malign,
And fix thine eyes on Clnist, the.
constant Light:
So shall we walk at length, though
paths of peace,
The King of Love, the perfect
Light before,
To be our guiding star forever-
more.
(Christo1):1 D. Bendel])
May Joy, Peace and Happiness be
yours, and a Merry Christmas to you
all.
FEAR NOT—GOOD TIDINGS!
As one approaches the threshold of
the Christmas Season this year, there
is something in us that compels' a
sigh of relief. It is the long drawn
sigh of a man who for some time
has been intensely absorbed in his
labour; his soul is constrained to
know no respite from unremitting
toil. Needles to say he is putting Isis
whops heart into the yoke and the
burdens to which he has committed)
himself. These he means to carry
through to their rightful destination.
But now he has come to a breath-
ing space. Physically he may be
trudging on, conscientiously trying to
carry out his part. Actually it may
not mean so much "time -off" or
change from regular routine. Ment-
ally the personal obligations of
Christmas are an additional consid-
eration; yet he may have said to
himself many tunes, "Surely the re-
sources of my ability are taxed to
the limit. I cannot do more." Yet
here is an extra thrust upon him and
compels his very soul to acclaim with
almost the spontaneous glee of a
child. He finds "the extra" really
does ease the shoulders in the heavy
duties of life.
There will be very few who will
deny that the Spirit of Christmas
affects him deffeue ,tly. Perhaps
there are the oynics who boast of an
'indifferent attitude. In that case,
"Go mark them well." These are
they who are not making the contri-
bution to life this is Divinely appoint-
ed them. They are holding something
back and the pricks of conscience
only make them the more bitter•. They
have not time for the breathing -space
andthe sigh of relief.
And so the Shepherds, "Abiding in
the field, 'keeping watch ever, their
flocks," had their plans for the night

After twenty-five years of opera-
tion, Huron County Children's Shelter
has been closed. At a meeting of the
Shelter committee last week this of-
ficial action was approved and the

Barber's Spite Fence." The east int-,
eluded Gerald Clayton, Jean Morgan,.
Marie Savage and Rolfe Monteith..
The play Jim Barber and Jane
Hathaway raised families on farms.
in the same neighbourhood. They
respected each other but never -
agreed. They left their families to
runt the farms and settled on ad-
joining lots in the village. When Jane
killed one of Jim's chickens because.
it scratched up her rosebush, Jim
built a spite fence between their
yards. This made Jim's yard too hot 't
for his chickens and' kept the sun
from Jane's roses, so that neither
would get prizes at the fair. It made
so much talk that their children de-
termined to take them back to the
farms to live with them. They put
up a bluff, stating that they are
intending to get married, and when
their bluff is called: they decide its,
the best way after all.

dents in their several parts were Miss

IF 1HE NAZIS TAKE TO GAS
London Shelters Can Have
Unpoisoned Water
1
' A pump filter has been specially
designed by a London firm for purify-•
ing tainted water in the event of the.
Nazis using poison gas in future air
raids.
It is a simple instrument, not much.
heavier than a garden syringe, yet
the cylinder of activated charcoal
through which the contaminated'
water is pumped assures an adequate
and safe supply of clean water tee
people in air raid shelters.
Portable pump filters of similar de-
