How many of your New Year's re- -solutions are still intact? Hope you didn't eat too muehtu- -key "an' fixins' " yesterday. We hope the New Year will bring :happiness and prosperity to all our .'readers, --whether they have renewed for 1936 or not. 'Many are the foundations of fame. -There died at St.. Thomas the other 'day a man who had helped skin Jum- bo, the big ;elephant which was kil- led by a train there many years ago. The fact that Co and Mrs. Lind- bergh and their little son were oblig- ..ed to leage their native land, ' the United States. of America, because ' they could not live ordinary, quiet lives, is no compliment to the United Slates of America. -And the fact thh't 'the salve conditions niet them • on their landing in England is no • compliment to that country. "The Conservatives of Prince Edward Island have acted wisely in returning Hon: C. A. Dunning by acclamation. The sante cour- tesy should have been shown to Hon. James Gardiner, the new minister of agriculture. The King Government was given an overwhelming mandate by the people and should have every op- portunity to carry on." The above :from the London Free Press, which is strongly Conservative ,. and which used its influence in op- position to the Liberals in: the last el- -action ,is what might be called good sportsmanship. If all party workers were as fair politcis would be pleas- anter in this young and lovely Do- minion. May this spirit grow. Mr. Hugh Teniplin of The Fergus News -Record is a canny Scott, as the following, which appeared on the ' Christmas card sent out by him this year amply proves: en them from the Unitech States. Newspaper reporters by the hundred •were there, ready to follow them by ear or plane wherever theyplanned to go. Some of the newspapers even published the picture of their little son, Jon, taken by reporters who boarded 'thecar in which the little lad was accompanied by his nurse and which finally decided the parents in .leaving their native land. It is a disgrace to civilization that such things should be and unless daily newspapers cease from. such outrages upon the personal liberty of respectable citizens they will lose the respect of 'decent people. DEATHS JORNISIi—In Clinton, on Dec. 28th, Annie Tiplady, widow of Jaynes Cornish, aged 83 years. MILLER—In Clinton, on Dec. 27th, Thomas Wesley Miller of Goderich township, in his 66th year., GARVIE—In Aberdeen, Kansas, on Dec. 29th, James Garvie, brother' Of . Mrs. Wm. Lawson,, Hullett, in his '76th year. William' the r lhatri McDonald, editor of Chesley Enterprise, 'who suffered a severe illness some. little time ago, and while sufficiently recovered to do a good bit of writing has .not as yet been able to leave his bed. But, being separated from the many pet- 'ty calls of the usual newspaper of, fice, whicheat up time and make worthwhile writing almost an impos- sibility, he has the more -time for leisurely writing. ' Recently, growing reminiscent, -he tells of an experience when an irate subscriber came in to "thresh the editor." The farmer, who got very angry a- bout something published in the pa- per, came in and "took a swipe at my head with a fist that looked as big as a prize turnip and. I: saw stars which were not of the movie class." This aroused the editor, who also had some fight in hint, he :finally put iris assailant out and told liiui not to come back or. he'd "knock the stuf- fing out of him." "We both learned to. control our tempers as we advanced .in year," he concludes, "and, so far as the vet- eran editor is coireerned, he let up on such large schemes of reforming the community." "Threshing the editor" used to be a favorite sport in the old days, if all stories are true. But the nearest anybody ever came to doing that with us, in our twenty-five or twen- ty-six year's experience in this office was when an irate old Irishman came in and shook his thorn stick in the editor's face add another who gave us a good sound scolding and said: "If I thought Ilk could make anything out of it I would certainly enter an action for libel" But he didn't and we were very good friends after- wards, when his anger cooled. "What It's A' Aboout The times bein' still a bit hard, and oor subscribers no'.bein' in any great hurry tae plank doon their sil- ler for their News -Records ($2.00 a :year in Canada, payable in advance), we mann be a bit canny this 'Christ - Mas. Christ -i as. So we hae jest ta'en .a :wee '•hittie o' oilcloth aff the kitchen flure (shin' the range, where it's no sae nruckle worn, ye ken), and.cut oot this pictur o' the auld mill at Fair- :gus, where they 8iak' the guid Scots oatmeal (and sell it at 3 lbs. a York -shillin', for cash), wi' the Graun' River in front, and three o' oor sin ..spruce and ehn trees - at the sides. Forbye, lb's colored by Band (wi'' wax crayons at tuppence, ha'penny a box o' eight) and moo we've naeth- i.ing left tae worry o'er exceptin' the • high price o' postage stamps." Some folk are ever on the hunt for something different, all one needs, :evidently, is a bit of originality in 'cone's own make-up. Is curiosity, vulgar curiosity, the .• strongest instinct in the human ':race? It woiild _seefn that it is mighty strong •in English-speaking •Peoples, considering the case of the Lindberghs. Col. Lindbergh, who Is the idol of his country, was oblig- •ed to take his wife and little son and leave his native country because he to. Waterloo for Christmas, where and they, especially tire, little sort they were joined by their daughter, for whose safety he could not help Mrs. R. T. -Watson of Fairlight, Sask., 'being anxious, were constantly being who accompanied them, on their re - besieged by newspaper reporters and by the receipt of threatening letters --from gangsters. They sailed for 'England, in the hope that there they would be able to :live quietly and nor- mally. One would imagine that knowing this the people of Great Britain would have sympathized and would have •given this distressed couple a warm welcome but one :which would have immediately assured them that their desire for privacy wotild - be respect: ed. But no, we who are Of British 'blood are humiliated to find that no sooner had these exiles reached Bile-. fish shores than they met -with the mother,., Mrs M. Elliott, for Christ- mas.
