He is an artist in mid 'air ' and did several clever tricks upon the wire.. - Quite an amusing incident occurr- ed on Sunday afternoon as Rev. Rural Dean Hodgins was driving into Clin- ton from Holmesville. As he ap- proached Bridgewater he asked a passer by if people could drive through and directed his horse to- ward the inviting stream. After a hearty draught the animal evidently did not have enough and so it delib- erately lay down. The reverend gentleman, after futile efforts to urge him on, had to strip off, wade in, and as is usual with him in dif- ficult cases, he succeeded in pursuad- ing the animal to make one more effort. He reached town. safely» Mr. Peter Cook, a highly esteemed resident of Goderich township intends moving into Clinton in a few weeks to settle down to the joys of resi- dence in town.

TOURING GIRLS DON'T LIKE CANADIAN POLICE The Department of Highways in the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, may soon hear of the cruelties of H. P. Stennett, J.P., of Ridgetown and Traffic Officer Jack Carpenter to- ward American tourists. After paying a six dollar fine far a charge of exceeding the .speed limit by many miles, Miss Sydell H. Swig of Brookline. Mass., said to Mr. Sten- nett: "Who is your superior?" and in return the Justice of the Peace referred her to the department. Miss Swig and her two girl friends claimed only to have $12 to make the 600 mile journey ,home and argued for more than an hour with Mr. Sten- nett and Officer Carpenter that len- iency should be extended in their case and the fine dismissed. But their beauty, feminine charms and persuasive words failed to change the minds of the officials. However, realizing that $12.00 was hardly sufficient to do them for such a journey, Mr. Stennett offered to hold a watch, ring or suitcase until they could .send the money. First they refused until Officer Carpenter stated that an alternative might be jail,'and it was then a club bag was hauled out of the car trunk. But at this point the beauties realizing the officials Were intent on collecting' poured out a vociferous tongue lash- ing regarding Officer Carpenter and his Canadian laws. "Here's your (so and so) $6 and I hope it does you and your Canadian laws some good," one of the girls said. To which Officer Carpenter, well seasoned in such cases, replied after touching his cap: "Thank you ladies." —Ridgetown Dominion.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN Realizing the need for Helping men and women, who, through the stress of times have been unable to finance themselves through a training to en- able them to secure employment, Cassan Systems School, Toronto, is sponsoring a Vocational Guidance Movement to help these people to gain useful employment. .

C'aesan Systems make a speciality of training young people through specialized courses, :and only teach- ing the necessary subjects to enable them to hold the job successfully. I£ an office, job is desired, your chances of securing employment are much more sure if you are trained. CONTROLLED INVESTMENTS . We don't often bother you; with very many, figures, but once in a while it is a goad thing to get down to bed rock and examine 'things. Read this' about foreign controlled investments` in Canada and Canadian controlled investments abroad. Interest and dividend payments by Canadian ,' companies , controlled' abroad totalled $155,000,000 in 1937, an amount greater than the total interest payments on the Dominion public debt during the same period. Of this amount, $93,000,000 was paid to parent companies and individuals in the United States, $21,000,000. went to Great Britain, and minority shareholders and bondholders in Canada received $38,000,000... Payments abroad by these 'comp- anies represent almost one-fifth of all payment out of Canada an cur- rent account for purposes other than purchase of commodities in the Can- adian balance of international pay- ments statement for 1937. These payments of interest and dividends were made possible by an external- ly -controlled investment which took root in the 17th century and has grown steadily . until it now repres- ents a significant part of the cap- ital invested in all Canadian industry. In, bringing profit to non -Canad- ian investors, externally -controlled investments have brought advantages to Canadians which far outiweig'n the losses incurred in dividends and bond interest sent out of the country each year, The rapid industrial develop- ment which took place in Canada in the first quarter of this century 'could not have occurred without large-scale financial backing from abroad. Although foreign -controlled invest- ments are found in almost every type of business in Canada, there are marked variations in their relative importance in the different groups of .Canadian industry. Extreme ex- amples are afforded by the motor vehicle and the sugar industries, the former being controlled abroad to the extent of 99.5 per cent and the lat- the being wholly controlled in Can- ada. Other industries and the extent to which they are controlled abroad are, repectively: loan companies 35 per cent, pulp and paper 46 per cent, farms implements 58 per cent, rubber and rubber products 80 per cent and prepared breakfast foods 98 per cent. Canadian controlled investments abroad at the end of 1937 totalled $511,000,000. Although Canada is not customarily considered as a capital exporting nation, this investment is only slightly smaller inproportion to the population of the country than is the corresponding investment of the United States in proportion to the population of that country, OFFERING SCHOLARSHIPS TO YOUNG FARMERS TEA °MEETINGS ' WERE,. RULED, OUT AS WAY TO SUPPORT: MISSIONS Interesting among the records' of the present Goshen United. Church, in Stanley township, is a minute passed by the official board on Aug- ust 20, 1870, when it was ,resolved that the circuit would not consent to hold a tea meeting' to raise .money for the support of the missionary work. This principle has been ad- hered, to by the congregation down through the years. Pioneers of Stanley were respon-' siblo for the foundation of Goshen church, which represents a subse- quent union between the former Wesleyan Methodist and Methodist Episcopal bodies. First, services of the former body were held in the "old log' school house" on the Goshen line, while the M. E. body had a Stanley circuit comprising seven chapels, one of them on the Rowson farm, also on the Goshen line. The present Goshen church was built by the Methodist Episcopal congregation in 1869. Interesting to note also is the fact the early ministers 'had no guaran- teed salary. A certain sum was "al- lowed" them but if that amount could not be raised, the minister took the amount which had been brought in by the end of the year. Here for instance are some of the early salaries: Rev, J. P. Morden received $300; Rev. J. A. Dark $400; Rev. James Rose $350; Rev. D. Decker, allowed $500, but received $378; al- lowed $450 the following year; Rev. W. Yokum, allowed $400. (All these figures are for the 1870's some years before the Wesleyan Methodists and Methodist Rpiscopals united in 1884.) True to their tradition of catering to the Ontario farmer and promoting a better understanding of Agricult- ure, W. T. Cruickshank, manager of Radio Station. C.K.N,X. at Wingham has announced a system of scholar- ships by means of which some farm- er's son in b o th Huron and Brice counties will be able to take a course in agriculture at the On- tario Agriculture College at Guelph this fall, Mr, Cruickshank realizes that one of the present problems of agricult- ure is a proper understanding of get- ting the most from the land without destroying its best growing propert- ies, thus a scientific knowledge of practical farming is. necessary. Briefly the plan is this, Any young man residing in Bruce and Huron Counties is eligible to register for the 0,K.N,X. scholarships. He will re- gister with his Agricultural Repre- sentative at Clinton, James C. Shear- er B. S. A., or with George R. Gear B.S.A. at Walkerton. The scholar- ship is for the period of one year and selection will be made in August in time to register at the college. In the case of registrations in Bruce, the final selection will rest with Agricultural Representative George R. Gear, Warden Wellington S. Fent- on, and W. T. Cruickshank. In Huron County the choice will remain with Agricultural Representative J. C. Shearer, Warden R. `E. Turner, and W. T. Cruickshank. Full particulars may be .obtained from the agricultural offices in either Bruce or Huron. There are no strings attached to the scholarships, they have been inaugurated solely for the purpose of improving agriculture and providing the opportunity of scien- tific study. as a stenographer. The system of shorthand offered by this school en- ables you to qualify inside of 3 months at home, or through a com- bination of home -study and class in- struction. Other very practical courses offer- ed are Traffic Stenography for young men, or Commercia Telegraphy for, both young men and women. These, courses take longer to learn, but the salaries' are higher. Write a letter to Cassan Systems School, Toronto, telling your age, education, and what you are inter- ested in. After receiving descriptive folder, talk the matter over with your parents, and come to some de- cision about; your career. RAISING MICE HOBBY OF A NEW HAMBURG. MAN , Herman Krogman of New Ham- burg keeps more than 200 mice in a "ranch" in his garden as a hobby Starting with two mice obtained in Toronto, Krogman intended to sup- ply side shows. Demands from ex- perimenters and others soon caused him to expand his hobby until at one time he had nearly 500 rodents. During la ''Western ',Canada farm stock epidemic he did a rushing busi- ness with research laboratories. The Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, is a regular customer. "HAPPY GANG" EXODUS FOR MONTH VACATION Packing away their music sheets and sound . effects, C 13 Qs "Happy Gang" company ,.,.departs ,'the end of the month for an annual vacation; Friday, r"July 25,-' will be the date of the "au ;revolt." programme from the Toronto studios and Producer George Temple announces that the, "Gang" will be back intact on Mon- day, August 28.

G. Hyland of Station CJIC, to perform at Sault Ste. Marie on August 1. and 2 and then they will travel on to Sudbury to appear under the sponsorship of the Sudbury Nickel District Band on August 4 and 5. ++I NORMAL NOT TO BE CLOSED Despite rumors that Stratford Nor- mal School was to be closed, thus depriving prospective teachers of a source of learning without going to some larger centre inconvenient to their place of residence, the matter has been settled by the Department of Education and it will remain open. —Mitchell Advocate ROYAL TRAIN JOB REUNITES FAMILY PARTED 25 YEARS Montreal, — When Chef Tommy Gear was put in charge of the Can- adian National Railways dining car on the train which conveyed Their Majesties, King George and Queen Elizabeth, across Canada and back and down to the United States, the news somehow got into the home- town papers. Tommy hails originally from Shelburne, Nova Scotia. On the far side of the continent, in a place in California called Millvalley,' Mrs. Annie McKenzie read the news.' Nova Scotia is "back home" to her, l too, and she takes the Yarmouth paper to keep in touch. The result was that Tommy got a telegl am from a sister he hadn't heard of for a quarter of a century. He didn't even know she was in California. The wire was delivered to him when the Royal Train was in Halifax. "Are you going to see her?" a ' reporter asked. "No," said Tommy, "not until I'm rested up." With the other members of the Royal Train crew, he is now on vacation. "Later on, I'll probably go," he said. "I wrote her a letter and sent her photographs of the King and Queen," If THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. E. Silver, Pastor 11` a,m.—Sunday School '7 p.m. --Evening Worship ST. PAUL'S CHURCH Rev. A. H.

BAN SUNDAY ADERTISING When is the Canadian Broadcast— ing Commission going to ban Sun- day advertising? There is nothing- more offensive to the average Canad- ian (home than the blataint adver- tising which is done on the radio Sunday after Sunday and the attempt to sweeten it by t h e singing of sacred music does not make it go down any the better. To render the Hallelujah chorus with the compliments of Blah and Blah's cough and cold remedy is an offence against common decency.— Midland Free Press, 33/4% On Guaranteed Trust Certificates A legal investment for Trust Funds Unconditionally Guaranteed THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION STERLING TOWER TORONTO 1✓r Counter Check Books Whether you use the Loose Leaf or Carbon Back Style we can supply your needs from a new shipment just received.
