When The Present Century Was Young The Clinton New Era, November 6, 1913 The Clinton Knitting Co., are work- ing two shifts now for 20 hours. They are rushed with work and are turning out a good supply of their famous "Wearwell" hosiery. Its a good sign to be busy. Miss Blanche McAllister who has been a nurse at the Clinton hospital for the past five years, was united in marriage to William' McAllister of the Parr. Line, Hay Township, last Wednesday. Our citizens had a good taste of winter Last Thursday evening when a foot of snow fell, but by Sunday it had all melted away. This whole sec- tion was visited by the storm, The history of the West Shore Railway, in whose construction J. W: Moyes was interested, and the in- vestigation of which is being held up before the Ontario Railway Board on account of the sheriff's inability to (serve Mi•. Moyes with a supoena in order that he may explain the ex- penditure of a sum close to $385,000 extends back for slightly more than six years. Prior to 1906, a number of individuals procured a charter for a railway in the county of Huron land the adjoining district. Mr. Moyes undertook to build the road, covering the points mentioned in the charter, running from Goderich to Kincardine )with roads in both towns. He agreed to build andequip the line, put a power dam in the Maitland river, and supply Goderich and other towns with electric lights. The police• had a busy time on Sat- urday looting up some of the young- sters, who decided that the only way to celebrate Hallowe'en was to de- stroy property. Their names are known and it is very likely they will find themselves in serious trouble. The Clinton. News -Record, November G, 1913 While engaged in. Mackenzie's fac- tory on Monday, Mr. William Slo- "SNAPS410T CUIL Load Up Now for Hallowe'en Use flash bulbs and you can take pictures like this with any camera If it can be set for a "time" exposure. IT WON'T be long now before witches are riding their broom- sticks over the moonlit Autumn fields, where winds search eerily among the bare furrows and rattle, the leaves in the corn -shock rows. Soon there will be a prodigious carv- ing of ripe brown pumpkins, a cut- ting of jagged grinning months and triangular noses and huge round eyes, as Jack o' Lantern is made ready for his annual night of festival Children, .too, will be clamoring for costumes to give flavor to their part of the grotesque fete and pho- tographers should be ebecking•over their film supplies and polishing their lenses for Hallowe'en pro- vides a unique picture fleid and op- portunities for a type of photography that occurs at no other time of the year. Mere celebrants will think of Hallowe'en 121 terms of masquerade dress, practical jokes and the like, but the camera worker will think hi terms of photoflood lights, photo- flashes, and weird lighting effects.. As for subjects—there is no prob- tem..Grasp the atmosphere of the season; remember that this is the time of witches, squalling eats and prowling ghosts and give imagina- tion and fantasy free rein—and you, should=• think of more pictures than time will permit tp take. Lighting methods will be simple. For the most grotesque effect, keep lights low, close to the floor, point- ing them up toward your subjects. This throws long, high shadows on the walls,, and faces will wear a startled or terrified expression, The Hallowe'en party, with its bob- bing for apples in a tub, and other stunts, offers a fine, snapshot field. With supersensitive film and an L 6. 3 or faster lens, you can use two small photofloods in reflectors, four feet or less from the subjects and give a shutter speed of 1/25 second. With a box camera, you can take snapshots, too, if you use supersensi- tive .flim and the big No. 2 photo- floods, which have twice the light of the No. 1 and last three times as. long. Set the box camera at its larg- est lens opening and MB three of the big bulbs. To make the light from a jack o' lantern show in your picture, use one made of cardboard and place in- side it an ordinary 60 -watt electric bulb. Do not use a photoflood In a real pumpkin lantern—thedamp- ness of the .pumpkin might cause a bulb to explode. Light up the lan- tern, arrange your subjects near it, stand the camera on, aftable with shutter on "time," open the shutter, flash a photoflash bulb and close the. shutter. 206 John van. Guilder THE CLINTON "NEWS -RECORD WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING. CANADA FOR CANADIANS It is a disgrace to Canada's rulers that so inatiy well-bred and schooled young, men and women cannot find employment in our country. It is so unnecessary that today's conditions exist. We are letting other, countries send articles into Canada that could' be made here, giving employment to our own young men and women. For in- stance, take watch movements. We suppose there are a million watches used in Canada. Practically none are made here. Consider textile machin- ery. The textile industry pays out something Iike forty millions of dol- lars a year in wages, yet the in- dustry's machinery is practically all made abroad. These are only two examples of many that could be nam- ed. We judge a sensible policy for Canadians right now would give em- I pioyment to another hundred thous- and of our men and women.— Kin- cardine News. THE PEOPLE'S FAULT The president of a large depart- ment store in Toronto recently ad- dressed a gathering of businessmen, and in the course - of his remarks stated that the fault of mounting government expenditure lies basically with each of us as citizens. One body of citizens after another exercises pressure on public men for measures and expenditures which in- crease public debt and taxation, stat- ed the speaker. While politicans are pressed into enacting the laws to bring extravagant measures into ef- fect, it is the people who are directly responsible for the "final discourage- ment of enterprise and the impair- ment of the workers' pay envelope," he concluded. It is apparent that there are too many of us who hold to the false conception that the "government will pay for it." Too many of us fail to stop and think that the govern- ment" is the people, and therefore, for what we ask, we must pay. Then when the "government" is forced to add on a sales tax of eight per cent., and a gasoline tax of six cents a gallon, to pay for what the people ask, how the people raise a fuss.— Tavistock uss:Tavistock Gazette. $12,000,000 FOR ROADS" With by far the greatest revenue collected by the Province of Ontario coming front automobile owners doesn't it sound strange that the On- tario government should be issuing man's right thumb cane in contact with a saw in notion and was split up the centre. The surgeon's ser- vices were required and William is now going around with the injured thumb well bandaged. The railway bridge at Ransford's was to have been rebuilt on. Sunday, that is the old structure removed and replaced by a new and stronger one of steel, The bridge gang were on the scene bright and early and.as- sisted by the section • gang under Foreman George David, set to work. They found their hoist unable to handle the steel however, and the work is held over for a week. Mr. James Livermore has rented his house in the south end of the town to Mr. Arthur Wooley, night watchman at the piano factory, and has bought Mr. James Dunford's cot- tage on Station street. There is some talk of organizing a checker club of which the member- ship would be about as follows: J. E. Johnson, 'James Cook, James How- son, George Roberton, Ed. Saville, James Steep and William Grant. Mr. Wellington Cook, who is en- gaged with the firm of Byam & Sut- ter was out on the 16th on business the other day and when turning out of a farm gate in some manner col- lided with a rural mail box. "Welly" was thrown violently while the "mus- tang" ran away. The following local Orangemen were guests of their Seaforth breth- ren last evening: J. P. Sheppard, John Sehoenhals, R. J. Ciuff, F. Match, T. Graelis, W. Ladd, David and John Steep, J. T. and W. Man- aghan, H. Glazier, Josh and Arthur Cook, D. Elliott, G. Doherty, A. Can- telon, J. Finch, D. Beacom, Eli Holtz- hauer and J. Bayley. Mr. William Glen, who has been the careful and efficient reeve of Stanley for several terms, will again stand for re-election. In the event of being the choice of the people he will offer himself for the wardenship and, as he will be the oldest mem- ber of the county council in point of service with the elegible ones, it is very likely the honor will go his way, Mr. Murray Jackson, who recently completed a course at the Horological' Institute, Toronto, has accepted a position with a jewelery firm at' North Bay, where he has been for several weeks past. "Bean King" Newman of Ridge- town, was in town three days last week and on Friday shipped two. car- loads of beans to western points. The price paid was $1.50 per bushel. PAGE alp a bond issue for $12,000,000 for ' the express purpose of road construction. It is an old argument of course, but when we know that the revenue from roads/far exceeds expenditures on them why should it be necessary to raise $12,000,000 for this purpose. Why. not put the tag on this new bond issue ,as it belongs. It is not for roads that the money is needed, but to cover expenditures on other matters, the money for which should have gone for roads in the first place. Oh well, it - sounds good anyway, to think that $12,000,000 is to be. spent on roods, especially if the Mitchell- Elginfield stretch of lfighway No. 23 comes in for a part of it.—Mitchell Advocate. CECESSION IN SASKATCHEWAN A somewhat startling report. carne out of the West last week to the ef- fect ,that there was a serious move on the part of the Province of Sas- katchewan to ceeede from the rest of the Dominion and start out on her own. The movement, it was reported, was backed by thousands of the peo- ple of that Province. Perhaps it is, but it is, we believe, quite safe to say that there are many more thousands wlio would fight such a move than there would be to support it. That Saskatchewan has suffered heavily during the past number of years, all the other Provinces in the Dominion are quite willing to admit, but whether that suffering has been greater than some other parts of Canada have experienced might be considered a debatable question. Even granting that Saskatchewan has suffered the most, the majority of the people in the rest of Canada, and elsewhere, are wondering how those sufferings are in any way go- ing to be relieved by cecession. But while the cecession of the Province of Saskatchewan may •not be taken seriously, even by the peo- ple of that Province, it is quite evi- dent that some of the older Prov- inces of the Dominion have not been doing anything to promote the cause of unity during the past number of months. IViren. the Province of Quebec pro- claims' the right of her French an- cestry :above her national responsi- bilities and Ontario refers to herself as the milk cow of the West, there is bound to be trouble eventually. And if eventually, 'why not now? Ap- parently that is the way the disaf- fected parts of Saskatchewan are looking on the situation. The situation will right itself of course, but not before the people of Canada drop the individual angles and begin to think nationally. -Huron Expositor.

FELL 20 FEET NO SERIOUS INJURY To fall from the top of a tele- phone pole, twenty feet to the ground below and .to escape serious injury, was the lot of Harold Emmerton, on Monday afternoon. He is one of the linemen on the Huron and Kinloss Telephone System and was ,working near the top of the pole and when reaching to cut one of the wires, the !safety belt in some, manner slipped over the top of the pole and be was precipitated to the hard ground be- low landing on his back. He was 'rushed to the doctor, where, on ex- amination it was found that no bones were broken but he had been shaken up and was suffering from a slight concussion, however, he is able to walk around and says he feels no ill effects. He hopes to be able to return to .work in a few days. P ICO BAC PIPE TOIACCO.
