The evening was ar- ranged for by Mr. Hawke, who has been taking the Sunday services: dur. ing the past four or five months. Mr. Roy East left Friday morning for Tillsonburg, where he has been transferred by the Royal Bank. His position as teller here will be taken by Mr.. Dodds Holloway and Mr. Ed- gar Pattison enters the bank as jun- ior. Sunday and Monday witnessed a small blizzard in this section and roads and sidewalks were filled up. Some of the sideroads are still bloc- ked. There will be a business men's luncheon in the council chamber .on Friday evening', Jan. 13th, commenc- ing et 6.15 sharp. (No superstitu- tion about the date, evidently). WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS' ARE SAYING CAN YOU REMEMBER? How many years is it since we 'Fled m Christmas like this year. Can you remember "away back" . when the .same feeling of good fellowship teemed to permeate the air? • —Cayuga Advocate, TAKE 'WOOD AWAY PLEA TO SANTA CLAUS: Hundred of people throughout the world asked the good St. Nicholas to leave presents for them on Christ- mas Eve, but there was one man who slid not ask Santa Claus to leave anything for him; he only asked to have something taken a- way. The man was a transient who ar- rived at the town hall for a night's lodging the night before Christmas. He went to the bunkhouse and when the Chief of Police looked in the next morning, after the fellow had gone on his way, he found the fol- lowing note: "Dear Santa Claus: "Please take away this—wood-pile." The woodpile is still there. —Goderich Star.

GETTING BACK TO NORMAL' The past years of depression have, naturally, been productive of a vast crop of ideas designed to correct con- ditions. Some of these have had merit, but mnost of them have , been put forward by nen lacking both the experience and the ability to,produce a worthwhile cure. It has„ too; been e wonderful period for the eonfirmed "squawker" acid 'grouch." These have had `their innings as never be- fore and have received •a hearing never aecorded them in ordinary times. Now that conditions show definite signs of improvement these Latter gentry are meeting with a less favorable. reception. Public men and editors everywhere are giving than scant consideration. ..-Goderich Signal. HAPPINESS The other day we had the pleasure of. talking to a man' who was ex- tremely happy, He does without nnuch that many of us to -day regard as necessities. He works hard and en- joys it. He has a great love for his family and has ever in mind their advancement, spiritual and educa- tional. He looks forward to the fut- ure with confidence and is extremely happy in the knowledge that each to -morrow has some problem of work that will keep him busy and engage his time so that he may in turn bring happiness to his family. We think one of the principal things that has been the matter with us as a people ha been that too many have 'been taught to regard as necessities of life too many • things which are merely luxuries. ---Wingham Advance -Times. THREE AUDITORS Messrs. Monteith, Long and Robert- son Chosen to Look Over Town Accounts J. W. Monteith, chartered account- ant of Stratford, together with H. R. Long and A. M. Roberson, will audit the 1935 books of the town of Gale - rich. This was decided at a special meet- ing of the council held on Saturday afternoon, December 28th, •to con- sides the question. The total remun- eration to all three was set at $250 for the 'job, although how the amount is to be divided among them was not announced.

A MALICIOUS PRACTICE Had we the power to give any town one gift, we would give it free- dom from gossip. That gift would mean as much, perhaps more, happi- ness as anything we could think of. Gossip, plain -devil -tongued gossip about other people and their affairs is one of the outstanding social cur- ses of our day. More unhappiness is caused by the careless• repetition of guesses, rumors, scandals, half-truths and untruths than by any other one cause. It may be that all communities are alike in this respect—probably they are—but we are safe in saying that some towns have more than its full share of these people who seem to take an unholy delight in discussing freely with little thought of results, any and every matter concerning people. That there be little or no truth in the remarks doesn't matter.' A little more consideration for people's feelings is a fine gesture, one which might be well remembered the next time you feel inclined to pass an unkind remark about a per- eon.-Lucknow Sentinel. A USEFUL ORGANIZATION Kincardine Rover Scouts, a group of young men under the leadership of Jack Reynolds have been doing good turns for others on a scale un- surpassed by any other organization, during the past six months. At the recent Christmas season they collected and repaired toys, so- licited small subscriptoins and con- tributed their own funds, not to men- tion time so that sixty Kincardine kiddies would be 'able to have a hap- py- Christmas. .Prior to this, they volunteered for a series of blood transfusions, in or- der that a wounded man might live. That he is alive to -day is due to their efforts. These are but two of their "good turns." During the conning year, when Kin- cardine is busy with an old home week, the services of Kincardine Rover Scouts will no doubt be great- ly in demand and will be given as un- stintingly, without thought of • gain or reward, as in the past. —Kincardine Review -Reporter. HE DIDN'T BELONG Caesar was making one of his vis- its to the Quiet Folks' Verandah. All fall he 'spent an occasional half hour on this same verandah preening him- self or somethinglike that. After he had prettied himself by many nickings and scratchings to suit the highest peak of dog fancy he would visit var- b us.stores and shops and, sniff quiz- zically about backdoors of the village householders. After every visit :to the Quiet Folks' verandah, Mrs. Quiet Folks was required to "go over" the scene of the Caesar's toilet making with mop and broom, meanwhile "thinkingmany things" like Queen Dido of unhappy memory: Caesar belonged to a good neighbor and for that reason his visits passed with an occasional complaint but on the whole in a spirit of broad toleration. Last Saturday Adolphus, 'the pure bred bull terrier owned by the Quiet Folks was observed sitting' np• and taking notice of Caesar's toilet proceedings. There was no wagging of the Irish tail. There was no gurgling of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." By no manner of means., Ihstead there was alt expression of deep contem- plation' on the terrier face. Finally thought ripened into action and Adol- phus approacehd the visitor with. a look that might have been seen. on the fact of Wellington as he observed Napoleon at Waterloo. Caesar was not an adept in psychology and inter- preted the advance of Adolphus as a friendly gesture, and rolled over on his back in merry sport. It was here that he was in error. Adolphus seiz- ed him by the leg in a crunching bit4 to which was added a vicious shake that brought forth a series of whines and whimpers and growls and howls that filled the village with distress. Adolphus tempered biting with mer- .cy, released his grip and Caesar "lit out" for home yelping and limping with no self respect or pleasure left in life. All this because he was not mind- ing his own business, because he was loafing and especially because he was where he did not belong. We pass on this observation to some humans that we know. Some folk never learn the difference between mine and thine till a sharp bite quickens` brain and 'conscience. -Exeter Times-Advoceat: ernors of 9 provinces—BBC re -broadcast "Twenty five Years"—Message from His Majesty -"Canadian CavaI- cale"—Address by Rudyard Kipling—Thanksgiving Ser- vice from St. Paul's Cathe- dral, London.

But deflected septum it was that showed what a game 'trouper Harry Youngblood is, Two days before a recent Youngblood performance Harry (Peter King) was operated on in a Winnipeg hospital, Two days later he was in his usual place before the microphone in the Youngblood show. At the end of the first scene beads of persperation stood out on Harry's forehead, due to his determination to carry on in spite of great physical discomfort. Iii the second scene Trudy stood a- longside hinn with a glass of water to relieve his parched throat. But so well did Harry ."carry on" that not a single listener was able to detect that he was other than his usual self. Of such stuff are troupers made. The show must go 'onl George Patton, one of the Ieading members of the C.R,C's., dramatic players, was director of the Ontario Government Motion • Picture Bureau for 13 years. He supervised many of the educational films which were made to assist Ontario farmers in fighting pests, improving production, and achieving better marketing con- ditions. Sapid Substitution Last minute illnesses did nearly hreparable damages to that glittering cohort, "Knights of Gladness," heard. on the eastern and midwest networks' each Wednesday evening. Two hours before broadcast time, Sir Harold, the knight who blows a trumpet, de veloped \some difficult disease, and Baron :Bowman; commander of the troop, had to make rapid substitution. The. Baron, however, with his finger to Edmonton's musical pulse, lost no time in replacing the vacancy in ranks, and the broadcast went as per; fectly as usual, What If It Had Been Measles? Imagine, if you can, an orchestra developing asthma! Seems almost incredible, and program supervisor Mark Mortimer thought so, too. A fortnight ago, shortly before "Ro- many Moods" went from the Edmon- ton studios to the Commission's moun- tain network, the final pick-up on the ensemble was being taken. In some totally unaccountable manner, the gypsies had developed a "whoosh" which seems to be the only way to describe the difficulty. It seemed traceable to•an accordeon, that, to all intents and purposes, had developed a leaky valve or some similar com- plaint. But nothing could stop it , the program went • on the air, and just° as miraculously, the asthmatic tendencies disappeared.

Lend- ing charm to .the melodious beauty of the "Maui Islanders" program broadcasts Tuesday nights, Miss Par- kin has changed her personality from a hulasongstress in time for the Dance Band Parade of a Saturday night, when she sings with John Bowman from the MacDonald hotel in Edmonton.

He had thought Autumn beautiful when he had sat beside her during their ride but he had never seen any one quite so ravishing as the girl who stood before him now and lifted her refilled glass. She was gowned in a coolly glowing white satin that clung the length of her body and flared out almost to the floor; small tips of green .pumps peered out from below the white, and at her throat on a platinum chain hung a large single emerald, her father's gift, she had explained, on her twenty-first birth- day. He raised his glass toward her and smiled. "You may drink to what you please," he said, "but I'm toasting the queen of the Upper Country!" "Queens are becoming so old-fash- ioned, Florian, she countered. "I am not flattered." "My error," he apologized with a slight bow. "I'll compromise on the Princess—they're still in style, aren't they?" "Expatriated," she observed, "Good enough," he said, and drain- ed his glass eagerly. Autumn sipped her cocktail 'and took Fn cigarette from the box on the low table that held the shaker and its tray. "You know," Florian went on, set- ting his glass aside, "I can't help thinking of you as carrying on the legend of your forebears—your moth- er and her mother. They must have• beenlovely creatures to have given life to such traditions as they have handed down." "Lovely," Autumn said, "—and flaming." "Lovely—and flaming!" Florian hepeated. "My father has told me a- bout your mother, especially. You must be very like her." "I' know very little of my mother," Autumn replied, "except what I have been told." (To be continued). A. STRANGE WORD Do you know how many words in the English language mean "crowd." Well, a few of them are given here: A crowd of ships is termed a fleet; . a fleet of sheep is called a flock; a flock of girls is called a bevy; a bevy of wolves is called a pack; a pack of thieves is called a gang; a gang of soldiers is called a host; a host of porpoises is called a shoal; a shoal of buffaloes is called a herd; a herd of children is called a troop; a troop of partridge is cal- led a covey; a covey of beauties is called a galaxy; a galaxy ofruf- fians is called 'a horde; a horde of rubbish is called a heap; a heap of oxen is called a drove; a drove of hoodlums is called a mob; a mob of whales iscalleda school; a school of worshippers is called a congregation;. a congregation of engineers is called a corps; a corps of robbers is called a band; a band of bees is called a swarm; a'sivarm of people is called a .crowd. ot=SNAPSHOT CUIL KNOW YOUR CAMERA a. The amateur who took this prize-winning picture had mastered his camera CAMERA manufacturers spend. thousands of dollars each year in preparing and printing instrue. tion books which are enclosed with each camera. These booklets give valuable information on the use and care of the camera but the average person looks only far enough into the instructions to find out how to insert the film and right there they stop. From the mechanical viewpoint the box type camera gives us just about the acme of simplicity. It usually has two "stops" for snap. shots and one for "time exposures." However, the manual accompanying it is worth a careful reading. With certain types of folding cameras, you have more to consider if you are to expect good, clear, sharp pictures and the manual should be studied by all means. You may have from three to nine apertures to choose from and shut- ter speeds ranging from one-half to 1/500 second, depending on the type of camera. In addition to these split second shutter speeds the cam- era is probably equipped for time exposures. Before loading your camera with film consult the manual so that you will understand just what is happen- ing when you do certain things— and why. In a recent snapshot contest con- ducted by sixty-four leading news• papers scattered throughout the United States, the picture shown above was awarded one of the major prizes in the national awards. The snapshooter who took the pic- ture was far from being old in ex- perience but it is quite evident that he had made a study of his hobby and knew what he was doing and what could be expected of hie camera. Study the composition of your pictures, that is, "compose" your picture in your viewfinder before clicking the shutter. Perhaps by stepping forward a few feet you can eliminate some incongruous object -something that may reallydetract from the point of interest in the picture. Try viewing a scene or sub. jeot from different angles, then choose the one you think the most attractive. Too many snapshooters, when taking pictures of their friends, have them stand as straight as a ramrod and look directly at the camera. That may be all right for record picture but the snap would bo much more interesting if people in it were doing something. If you will give just a little serious thought to your snapshoot- ing and thoroughly know the limita- tions or versatility of your camera you will be well rewarded with in- teresting, artistic or story -telling pictures which you will be proud to show your friends and which will win their admiration. 71 JOHN VAN GUILDIBR emIresavenownpamessopeownesanti - lt's A Small Town After All As told by the New York Office Cat To G. H. LASH (In the C. N. R. 11lagazine) There are a lot of Canadians who don't want to hear anything about New. York. Not even if R's good. They turn up their noses and sniff when New York is mentioned. It's the kind of attitude the people of Hamilton maintain towards the peo- ple of Toronto, and the people of To- ronto maintain towards the rest of Canada. It's an attitude that is fair- ly chronic with Canadians. Like measles or whooping cough it re- quires several strong injections of the serum of internationalism to get rid of it. Even then the cure inay not be permanent. I'm going to talk about New York and you can sniff as much as you want to. Whether or not the article is published will depend Iargely upon how the editor of the Canadian Na- Qonal Railways Magazine feels about being sniffed at, too! By taking in ail of Manhattan Is - lend; all of Staten Island; a goodly portion of Long Island; a large chunk of mainland and surreptitious- ly crossing the Hudson or North Riv- er to annex a healthy slice of New Jersey (which doesn't like it a bit), New York, posing under the alias of the "Metropolitan Area" has accum- ulated a population that exceeds that of any other city in the world but is not big enough to keep, it out of debt. According to the official cen- sus of 1930—the last -there were 10,901,424 people living within the Metropolitan Area. That's the gov- ernment figure. The government at the time was Republican, New York is Democratic and refused to accept the government census as authentic. So, the Merchants' Association of New York made a census of its own. 1t went the government 127,349 bet- ter and set the population at 11,028,- 773. In this population (leaving out New Jersey) there are 368,694 Bri- tish -born. That is if 192,810 from the Irish Free State don't object to be- ing so classified. They probably do, but there's nothing I can do about it. They can do 'their own sums in sub- traction. Now the point about this is not to glorify the fact that New 'York, by a system of elastic enumeration, has succeeded in beating the best London can muster by nearly two millions. The point is to state baldly and with every expectation of being contra- dicted, that New -York is the smallest town on the upper half of the north- ern hemisphere. Those of us .who, through accident or circumstance, have to live here, recognize it and, find it amusing. The casual 'visitor to New Yak doesn't see New York. His beat is generally decidedly circumscribed, It Is bounded on the east by Lexington Avenue; on the south by 82nd Street. which leads to the portals of Penn- sylvania Station; on the west by Broadway or Seventh Avenue and on the north by 69th Street. Sometimes he may straggle off southwards to Wall Street or the Battery; occasion- ally he may roam northwards for a stroll through Central Park or a bus ride along. Riverside Drive, but if he does he scurries back to safer ground as soon as possible just a little bit amazed and frightened by his touter- ity, like a youngster scuttling away from the pantry after having raided the cookie jar. The New York of the average vis- itor is an area that doesn't enclose more than two square miles. Yet, strangely enough, it is the part of New York of which the permanent citizen sees the least unless he hap- pens to work within that particular area. It's the section known as Midtown. It's the district of the lat- est of the tall buildings; the large and the expensive small shops; the equally expensive hotels and restaur- ants; the gyp joints; the cathedrals of jazz; the flea circus and Broadway (the two are coupled for obvious rea- sons), The Iatter hasn't been the Great White Way since the neon light was invented. Except when a visitor comes to New York and has to be en- tertained, the average New Yorker sees little` of this area. Indeed he sees little of any part of Manhattan. For, when his day's work is done, he disappears with as much speed and as little ceremony as a gopher upon the approach of a farmer, into a hole in the ground which is known as a subway and he doesn't emerge until the train reaches the station nearest to his home, Of what lies in between he knows nothing and tares less. For all that he has ever seen of the in- between part of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn or Queens, it might just as well be located in China. In any other place such goings-on would be unthinkable. But not in New York where the whole process of thought is a bit upside down. New Yorkers by the hundred will stop and gaze upon an excavation that is be - mg dug but when that hole is filled by the tallest building on earth they will not raise their eyes skyward to look at it. They will brave the chill winds of March to watch ten thous- and men—not ten percent. of Whom could find Ireland on a map -walk in a St. Patrick's Day parade. Not a corporal's guard can be mustered to inspect a priceless vase , by Benven- uto Cellini in the Metopolitan Mus- eum. A man with a compressed air drillcan gather a crowd that will block traffic; not five per cent. of the population is aware that in the Daily News building in 42nd Street East, is housed one of the finest (free of charge) mechanical museums in the," world. A crooner in a Harlem dive will pack them in; the Metropolitan Opera Company has to pass the hat to survive. But that's Manhattan Madness or Gotham Goofiness o r something. Once beyond the whirling Seventies or over the bridges or through the. Continued on page 6)
