Conditions Today (Similar
To Those Of Forty
Years Ago.
A copy of the Daily Mail and Em-
pire came into the office this past
week -end which was issued Decem-
ber 7, 1898, and it is • interesting to
note how similar world conditions are
today to those of forty years ago as
expressed in newspaper headlines.
The first headline to catch the eye
reads, "France Given A Last Warn-
ing. Remarks by the British Am-
bassador to Paris Create a Sensa-
tion in Landon." Reading over the
article however there does not appear
to be anything to become seriously
alarmed about, it being directly prim-
arily against what the speaker terms
"reckless journalism" and an appeal
to France to try to believe there was
no general animosityin England to-
ward France,
"Emperor Opens The Reichstag.
Germany's Poliey the Maintenance of
Peace", is another bold headline. The
Reichstag was opened today by Em-
peror William, who, after referring
to the introduction of many bills and
the completion of the organization of
the army, stated that Germany's re-
lations with all the foreign powers
continued to be friendly, and the prin-
cipal object of his policy would be to
contribute to the maintenance of
peace. Alluding to the war between
Spain and the United States, his Ma-
jesty said Germany's neutrality was
conscientiously and .loyally observed
towards both belligerents.
Apparently they had trouble in
China those days too. Another news
item is headed "France Means Busi-
ness. Missionary Must be Released
or there will be trouble." The French
Minister, M. Gerard, has 'sent an inl-
timatunr to the Chinese Foreign
Office threatening that unless the
French, missionary now held a pris-
oner by the rebels in the Province of
Sze -Chuen be released within ten days
MIL
a force of French troops will be or-
dered to cross the frontier,
Turning over to the editorial page
we find that in those days opinions
were expressed forcibly and freely as
the following editorial will testify.
WHY, INDEED
Why should Halton or West Huron
return supporters of the Hardy Gov-
ernmeiit?
That Government has done nothing,
nor, judging by its repeated mistakes,
is, it capable of doing anything
this province.
It has opposed progressive .legisla-
tion, and has only yielded under pres-
sure.
It has dedicated our forest posses-
sions to Michigan, and has only con-
sented to stand out for our rights ---
and in that one case alone—under
threats.
It has rolled up a debt, and has in-
creased the burden of muaicipal tax -
55.
It has created a great tax -consum-
ing official army, •licensed to live on
the people as a reward for party ser.
vices, and has even descended to the
taxation of little school children for
its monopolists,
It now proclaims its servitude to
the "new Liberalism", a rank and
costly growth, offensive to the bet-
ter elements in the community.
Of Polly and purpose it has none:
except to continue in the same old
groove.
Why, indeed, should the two vacant
constituencies elect the Hardy candi-
dates?
A news item refers to fast time
made by trains between Toronto and
Winnipeg, the run being made in
forty-eight hours as compared with
approximately thirty-four hours for
the same trip today.'
The price for the Mailand Empire
in 1898 was $4.00 per year. Ten
pages only were printed, and the lay-
out was quite a bit different to the
issue turned out today.
ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCID 31, 1938.
THE HOME PAPER
Former ..Clinton Boy Com-
pletes 37 Years As Editor
The first issue of The Times, Wet-
askiwin, Alberta, was published on
March 2pth, 1901 by the present
owner and editor, V. C. French, son
of Mrs. Florence French, Clinton.
Commenting on the milestone he
has•just passed the editor refers to
the many changes. which have taken
place in the community since the first
issue of The Times. He has seen it
grow front a hamlet to become tho
prosperous commercial centre it. is
today. Speaking editorially' he has
this to say about weekly newspapers:
"Any weekly newspaper's t•phere of
influence is to be measured by time
for it remains decade after decade an
integral part of the life of each fam-
ily of which it is a member. It is
as much a part of the family life it
serves as the family cat or dog. When
you strike at your dog you are at-
tacking your- best friend, and, when
you try to do away with the eat you
find it has nine lives. Such .on many
occasions has been the case of The
Times. We have been "struck at"
many times, but we continue nue tou
"Car-
ry
on" as a representative journal of
the Wetaskiwin district. As a news-
paper, The Times has never shirked
its responsibilities, and as a result is
proud of its standing among the
weekly papers, not only of Alberta,
but of Canada .
A weekly newspaper is the mirror
through which a community is judg-
ed by the outside world. We, there -
fare, earnestly appeal to the busi-
ness men of Wetaskiwin and district
to co-operate with us in the publica-
tion of a paper which wiil properly
reflect the true commercial position of
this prosperous farming conununity,
which is recognized as one of the
best in Western Canada."
The Tithes is a iiewsy little weekly
and his editorial is representative of
the 'V , papert e con • atulate Mr.
_
French on his work and wish him ev-
ery success for the future.

The Weather One Year Ago
Everyone is talking about the ex-
tremely nice weather these days, and
they have good reason for talking as
on March 21st and 23rd it was 70
degrees- in the shade. On March
'26th a year ago the temperature was
not so balmy as Mr. Gordan Guning-
hame tells us that that day we had
quite a snowstorm and about one foot
of snow fell, providing good sleigh-
ing for two days. Then the snow dis-
appeared quickly, but the weather re-
mained rather cool. Again on April
6th more snow came and it was not
until April 13th that the first mild
weather appeared. Up until that
time the furnace bad to be kept go-
ing steadily every day.

Peace Is Subject Of Talk At
Women's Institute Meeting
The regular meeting of the Wo-
men's Institute was held in the board
room
ofhe
t Agricultural Office on
g e
Thursday, March 25th, with the pre-
sident, Mrs. Holmes, in charge. Af-
ter singing "0 Canada", and repeat-
ing the Lord's Prayer in unison, the
roll call was answered by naming
some places in the community that
shouldbe improved; this was respond-
ed to by many suggestions, as this
time of the year there are many plac-
es that should be improved.
Miss Evelyn Hall, HA., was the
guest speaker, taking for her sub-
ject "Peace", a very suitable topic
for the time. She spoke of person-
al peace, which we derive from going
to some quiet place and relaxing, or
the peace which we derive when we
attend church, but we cannot have
world peace, she said, until we have
peace -minded leaders, and until we
adopt a Christian way of living, by
claiming, Christ as our leader. We
live in peace and harmony with the
country to the south of us, with .an
unprotected border of thre thousand
miles, h.ow much better it would be
if the European nations could live
likewise.
Miss Hall's address was very much
enjoyed by all, and Mrs, McKinley
moved a vote of thanks ,'which was
seconded by Mrs. Geo. H. Elliott,
The topic for the month' was "In
the Heart of the Bulb is the Promise
of Spring," this was very ably dealt
with . by Mrs. N. W. Trewartha,
Mrs. McKinley then gave a reading
entitled, "To the Health of St. Pat-
rick." She also read some Irish jokes.
Miss Faye Lindsay, with the assis-
tante of three girls, gave a demon
stration on first aid in case of drown-
ing or severing an artery.
The meeting closed by singing
"God Save the King", after which
the following ladies served a very
wholesome lunch: Mrs. Layton, Mrs.
Sturdy, Mrs. M. Batkin, Mrs. J. Rad-
ford, Mrs. A. Cantelon and Mrs. 3.
Ferguson.
GODERICH TOWNSHIP
Merry Makers Of 1938
Provide Good Enter-
tainment
RUTH, ANDREWS IS QUERN
Something 'different in the way o
entertainment was tried here thi
week where the local branch of th
Canadian Legion sponsored. elm
Makers of 1938, a. musical revue 1
two parts, presented by the Bourqu
Producing Company, with local tal
ent taking part in twenty scenes. Ca
pacity audiences filled the town hal
both Monday and Tuesday evenings
every act receiving ,,hearty applaus
from the appreciative audience. Th
success of the venture was in n
small measure contributed to by th
colorful scenery, costumes and light
ing effects for the various acts.
Taking into consideration the, fee
that less than two• weeks had been
spent in rehearsals, the large cas
made very few noticeable mistakes a
they went through intricate drills and
dancing numbers. The director, D
J. Bourque, took a leading part in
several of the choruses and also as
sisted in the comedy, "The man from
Brandon", a play which produced
much merriment,
Part one 'consisted of the following
numbers: "Smile all the While", D
J. Bourque and Black and White
Girls; "I Won't believe it's raining"
Audrey Butler ,and Girls; "Main
Street on :a Busy Day", Art Groves
and Sam Castle, colored gentlemen
"I'd like to have a sweetheart", Jean
Elliott and Sweethearts; "The than
from Brandon"; "Top Hat", by Top
Flat Girls; "A Terrible Accident"
Sant Castle and Art Groves; "Beauti-
ful Lady", Pearl Elliott, Gertrude
Holmes, and girls.
Jokes on local characters and situa-
tions marked the comedy skits by the
colore
dntl
ge encs, one of which went
something 111(5 this; Samba, "The
world is conning to an end in 1960
Sad it is going to be a sad thing for
Clinton," Rastus, "How come it's. go-
ing to be a sad thing for Clinton?".
Sambo, "Because that's tine year the
town council are finally going to de-
cide where they will put the band-
stand,"
Part two commenced after a very
short intermission with a gorgeous
setting and entitled, "In Old Spain".
This aot featured Spanish dancing by
Nora Livermore and D. J. Bourque,
and songs by Pat. McGoun, D. J.
Bourque, girls and boys; "Poet and
Peasant", Bert Giiddon and Eddie El-
liott, in which the peasant improves
on the poet's verse; "Doctor Kilium's
Office, the black faced gentlemen in
doctor and patient roles; "Dapper
Dan", D. J. Bourque, BIack and White
girls and Soubrettes; "The Old Vil-
lage Choir", Margaret Rozell, Lucy
Ellwood and choir, an act which pro-
duced some I:{lea:4ing harmony; "A
Summer Boarder'', Audrey Butler
and Eddie Elliott, who in the role or
the village half-wit, still manages to
cane out on top; "Grand Uproar",
the Village Choir, an act which was
just what the iatle implies and which
produced hearty applause; "I•Ie Makes
A Hit", Audrey Butler and Eddie El-
liott; "Beir Mir Bist Du Schon",
Audrey Butler, Top Hat Girls and Pi
rates; "Rhythm in M y Nursery
Rhynes", Lois Ferguson, Polka Dot
Girls; "The Queen's Guards'„ Mary
Claney, D. J. Bourque and Guards.
This act was possibly the most color-
ful and difficult one of the whole,per-
formance. The finale featured the
guard of honor for the queen of the
Merry Makers, Ruth Andrews, who
had qualified for the title in the ticket
selling contest.
The performance .of the younger
members of the choruses is worthy
of note. For many of them this was
their first appearance and most of
then had more confidence than the
alder members. Both director and the
entire. cast are to be congratulated
on their splendid performance and
the Legion are entitled to bouquets
for sponsoring the affair.
Members of the choruses were as
follows:
Marjorie Steep, Huth Andrews,'
Norma Andrews, Evelyn Heard, Hel-
en. Kennedy, Olive, Finch, Beth
Schoenhals, Helen Rozell, Dorothy
SteIck, Nora Livermore, Margaret
