PAGE 7 WHAT CLINTON WAS ,DOING IN THE GAY NINTIES, 00 YOU REMEMBER WHAT BATTENED DURING TFTs' LA$T DE- CADE OF THE OLD CJ6NTURY? From The News -Record, Feb. .5th, 1896: Last Thursday a little daughter of Mr. John Croll had a very narrow es- cape, She was hanging on a' sleigh loaded with lumber a n d became wedged under one of the runners. Her escape from death or ;being manned for life was miraculous. The first concert of the season of the Clinton Choral Society was given in the town hall on'Thursday evening last . It ismuch to thecredit' of the conductor of this concert, Mb. Thomas Jackson, Jr., who has had the burden of the work to bear and has. brought.it to a successful issue. The chorus work of the concert was. a surprise to- the people . All parts w seemed to be well-balanced, over six tr voices taking part. Goderich Har- mony Orchestra, fifteen'.instruments, includingsix lady violinists, render- ed three very difficult and high-class numbers . the people of- Clinton were delighted with the music . and 'we wish the Goderich, Orchestra the 'success it deserves. Miss Curtis of Blyth, an elocultion-. ist, gave twd numbers and never fails to please a Clinton audience. . Two new soloists were introduced,- Mr. Harry Read and Miss May "Herman, both did well. Mrs. Wall and Mrs. Ransferd never sang better than than they did at this concert. The ladies chorus, "Rock a -bye," and the men's chorus, "The Bridge," were perfect. Our own "Bob" Downs, in two comic songs brought down the house. Proceeds amounted to $70.00. Success to the Choral Society. The, Seaforth Expositor expresses a desire "that The News -Record cease its vulgar abuse of the Grits and Mr. Cameron" If' it is "vulgar abuse" to speak the truth about the doings of the Reform Party in West Huron, so much the worse for the party, It is high time the press of Huron rise a- bove winking at glaring violations of the law of the land. Mr. George Cooper, who was con- fined to the house for seventeen weeks as the result of an unfortunate shooting accident, was able to resume work last week. The price of county printing has run to such a low ebb that The News - Record did not tender for it. When any corporation expects work at less than actual cost it is time to call a halt. (But the old Country of Huron still gets it printing done at "less than actual cost," and The News -Re- cord still refuses to tender for it. Ed.) Feb.: 12th, 1896: - Mr. A. J. Holloway has branched out on his own account in the tailor- ing business in the store recently oc- cupied by Mr. Isaac Jackson. Mr. Holloway is a native of Clinton, an experienced practical tailor and his friends wish him every success. The inaugural meeting of the Clin- ton Collegiate board was, held in the town hall on Wednesday evening. Mr. James Scott was re-elected chair- man, Mr. William Jackson, treasurer and Mr. Horace Foster:, secretary. The following standing committees were struck: Property, •Dr. Shaw, James Scott, H.

Miss Robinson of Stratford is the guest of Miss Flossie Pattison. A quiet wedding took place at the home of Mrs. S. Holmes : on Thurs- day evening of last week when her daughter, Miss Maggie, was married to Mr. Wm. Gibbings of the Huron Road, Tuchersmith. The bride was given away by her brother and the Rev. J. L.

TY SLATED AS GUEST ARTIST ,FOR `,LET'S G O T 0 TIIE MUSIC HALL" PROGRAM ON FEBRUARY 15 Some of the, finest ,examples of the arts and crafts of Britain are "to, be seen in the beautiful old castles which lend majesty and charm to rural Eng- land to -day. Preserved in the great halls, the buttressed wails and the portcullises 92 these sturdy homes of medieval lords are, fineworks in iron, woods, 'copper, and: brass. Many of them represent the work of artists and these artists, be it known, were risen of the estates, retainers, and workers of the .landed nobility to whom they swore allegiance' and served as soldiers, when required, and who •spent more peaceful days in fashioning the great doors and locks to bar their master's homes against invaders. ' "The Sussex Door," which oxem- elifies the finest work in wood and iron in English 17th century history is one of the highly interesting relies now housed in the Ontario Museum of Archaeology: This door has been chosen for the subject of the radio drama to be presented•from the Com- mission studios at Toronto on the "Forgotten Footsteps" series and Vila be heard over the national network oh Sunday, February 16, at 9.00 pan. EST. 1t tells of a famous lord whose po- litical favor waned, whose daughter married a pennilness adventurer, but whose days were made notable by a visit from the king. For the signal honor, the lord had his workmen fashion a door worthy of a ]ring's visit, and its story Don Henshaw has added another fascinating chapter to this series of entertaining 'and his- torical broadcasts which are designed I- recapture the customs and lives of the past. "The Sussex Door," wilt present a cast of well 'known radio artists and an orchestra under the di- rection of Geoffrey Waddington. Pat Rafferty to be Guest Artist Pat Rafferty, the' miniature come- dian of "Dumbells" fame, whose scenes with Red Newman created a furore in the days when the Canadian soldier -organization travelled t h e Dominion, will be guest artist on the "Let's Go to the Music Hall" pro grain on Saturday, February 16, at 8.80 p.ni. ES9.' Pat Rafferty joins the famous Radio Commission pro- gram on that date to give the nation- al network audience his song, "No- body Noticed Me."' Pat, with Red Newman and a number of the ori- ginal lembers of the "Dumbells" com- pany are shortly to be seen in the leading towns of Canada, for it is an- nounced that he and his famous boys are going out in a new show this sea- son after an absence from the legiti- mate stage of several years. Tschaikowski's "Wale" to be. Played "Waltz," from the ballet, "Sleeping Beauty," which is part of one of the most imaginative and exquisite works of. Tschaikowski, will be featured on the program to be played; by Alex- ander Chuhaldin and his "Melodic Strings" on Monday, February 17. The program will he heard at ,9.30 p. in. over the national network of the Canadian Radio Commission. On the same presentation will be heard the. impressive "Great Fugue in G Min- or," by Johann Sebastian Bach. Re- presentative work of Granville Ban - tock will be heard in a "Suite of Old English Music,"' and the program al- so will include "Serenade in Four Parts,"' by - Gotze. Many of the great works played by "Melodic Strings" illustrate the ability of the conductor as an arranger, for writings of the masters are rarely written in their original composition for a string or- chestra and in numerous instances Mr. Chuhaldin does all thewriting of arrangements, for . h is. orchestra's broadcasts. • Private Lives have you ever paused to wonder what is the trend of the private lives of some of your favorite radio stars? Take for instance Ma and Pa Young- blood, who make their appearance on the Commission's , national network from the Winnipeg studios every Monday night in the "Youngbloods of Beaver Bend." With their homely philosophy and clever acting they are, on the air, the perfect picture of a happy couple in a western rural home. What do they do when they are not at the studios? I'll tell you. Gladys Rutherford and Bernard Lath- am, as they are known "off stage," conduct a studio for the study of voice production, dramatic art and Shakesperean works— a far cry, in- deed, from the role of Ma and Pa Youngblood. Battered Bass Best Jerry Fuller, string bass player of "Chasing Shadows," from Calgary, auditioned the original program with an instrument that showed the worst for many years of wear with travel- ling dance bands and novelty groups. When "Chasing Shadows" clicked for a place on the Canadian Radio Com- mission's National network, Jerry bought a brand new fiddle. But something was amiss at the first re- hearsal ... the tone was gone.. A third slap bass gave no improvement; a fourth the same. Finally the old faithful was restored to the program and there it remains to -day. Despite its age it is still the best broadcasting string bass in 'Calgary. A. coat of paint serves only to cover partially the puttied cracks; the foot is splic- ed and a bolt is all that holds the neck in place. • • WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS 'ARE SAYING A STRANGE ADDRESS We have often considered a news- paper office a sort of prison, but we had to confess some astonishment at receiving a letter recently addressed to the "Editor of The Simcoe Reform- atory, Simeoe, Ont."-Shncoe Reform - WATCH YOUR CLOTHES Considerable annoyance is being experienced at some of the local Town Hall dances by pilfering of ar- ticles of 'clothing while dancing is in progress.

A LIBERAL SIGNS Reeve Geiger Granted Privilege of Seconding Warden's Nomination An unusual incident occurred at the county council nomination for warden when Reeve Owen Geiger, a Liberal, seconded the motion which Bartley, Misses Wallace and C. Ship-. ley and Mi, and Mrs. J. L. Kerr spent a pleasant evening last Friday at the, home of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Plumsteel on the London road. Mr: Harry Twitchell had his deft shoulder dislocated last Ivionclay ev- ening when practising hoekey: and will be laid off for the rest of the season. His 'absence will weaker! the Pastiipe Club team. made R. J. Bowman warden. for 1936. The two parties alternately, year by year, select a Liberal or a Con- servative warden, the choicebeing made in caucus by the mem0ers of the party whose turn it is. This is a Conservative year and, as usual, two of .the defeated candidates for the post were to sign the motion for the caucus choice. At the earnest solicitation of Reeve Owen Geiger, who is a Liberal, Reeve Haacke, who was to sign, denied him- self the honor, permitting Mr. , Gei- ger to place his • signature on Mr. Bowman's paper along with that of Reeve L. E. Cardiff. The aged, but very alert Reeve of Hensall rose during the .afternoon, and thanked his "good Conservative friends" for allowing hien to asso- ciate his name with the election of his old friend "Bob" Bowman. --Goderich Signal, WE SHOULD SAY.

"The'' old fashioned kind of hired man has become practically extinct. You know the kind of fellow refer- red to; the man who would get up at four in the morning without being called, light the cookstove fire, do sundry chores, and be out in the back field by seven o'clock. Then in his spare time at noon, when he was ,resting, he would feed the pigs, do necessary odd jobs, and hunt up stray' hen's nests, • ete. He. 'never watched the sun going down, never asked for his pay,, liked working out in the rain and 50 below in the win- ter was not cold enough to prevent him from :going for a 'load of : wood.

We are governed • by boards of education, by parks boards, by commissioners and by committees, and nearly all of these bodies as well as having the right to govern in their own bailiwick, have also the right to collect money through taxa- tion. That is why,we have so much taxation; it is because we have so much government; itis because we have so many governments. —Peterboro Examiner. DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. They used to talk of "pouring oil on troubled waters". But the blue Mediterranean wasn't troubled until the League of Nations talked of an oil embargo.—Hanover Post. CLAYS AND CHURCHWARDENS Time was when the working man did not think of smoking any kind of pipe except a "clay." Wooden pipes have become cheaper, the cig- arette has helped to change smok- ing habits, and most pipe smokers would think it "cheap" to be seen with the old-fashioned' clay. But in Glasgow there is a firm 130 years old, which still turns out 150,000 clay pipes a year, about 50,- 000 of these being exported. Many apparently come to Canada, for a re- porter who looked over the factory recently saw cases ready to 'ship to Montreal; It is surprising to learn that there are 2,000 molds in this factory, each making a different pipe. The bowls can be made into all kinds of shapes, and the faces of prominent men of past 'and present generations, loots out from the front of the bowl, such as Scott and Eurus, Baldwin and MacDonald. ,; What is still more surprising, the firm also make "churchwardens,' those pipes with the twenty -inch` long steins seen in the mouths of the jolly fellows of Tudor tinges and later. The longer the stem the cooler the smoke,—St. Thomas Times -Journal , YE CAN NEARLY HEAR THEM SKIRL In a front page box on Monday last, the Toronto Mail and Empire carried an Ottawa despatch under the heading, "Commons' Piper is Seg- regated." And, the story under the heading was that Thomas Reid, Lib- eral member for New Westminster, B.C., nationally known as the piper. of Parliament Hill,- had been given an office room all to himself on tho sixth floor of the office block. When single offices are at such a premium -on Parliament Hill, that members have been fighting over them since last October, the fact that Mr, Reid was one of the few fortun- ate ones, is an item of real news, of course, But why use that insinuat- ing word "segregate?" We are not quite sure, but we be- Neve the dictionary meaning of seg- regate would be to separate or to set; apart. 'That, in itself, has a quite innocent sound. But !n inosi :of us the word segue teato i, aoinehaw always associated with m. rep measles and small pox, inrr'r ,,,ssnn and other very un- And ou•9row.'it was not the Forrest worn to use.

Matti 1't -an't be clone, It was the nines as wall as Mr: Rey that the oft'ieials intended to honor with a single office. And honor is the word, not segregate. Can't you see the rest? Can't you see the members slipping up one by one to that sixth floor office until the room is full. And the door is shut And then the rest will just be grand. •=Seaforth Expositor.

When Lady Tweedsmuir, wife of Canada's first commoner Governor- General, took her place in the Senate Chamber in Ottawa Thursday at the opening of Parliament, she was seat- ed a step below and to the left of her husband in the historic Princess Lou- ise chair. This high carved seat„which is up- holstered, in crimson brocade, and bears the,earved and painted' coat -of - arms of the wife of the Marquis of Lorne, was the chair used by Can- ada's first Governor-General. It be- caine worn out and was relegated to the cellar. In 1882, however, it was completely renovated and presented by the Government to the Princess. A metal plate on the back bore the inscription: "Presented to Her High- ness the Princess I;ouise by Ministers of Canada, the advisors of His Ex- cellency the Governor-General, the. Marquis of Lorne (1882).” After a period of use the chair was sent to archives as' an item. of historical interest. There it re- • maimed until the arrival of Lord and'. Lady Willingdon. Lady Wiliingdore noticed the chair during a visit to the archives and asked that it be return- ed to the Senate. So once again tile much -traveled piece of furniture be- came, ecame, and now remains, a seat of state for Canada's first lady. leMmeerwrearseseessen =SNAPSHOT CUIL PICTURING SNOWFLAKES )r4 Snow storm snapshots need a wide. TF YOU want to take pictures these A winter months that you will be proud of, watch the snowfalls and t9•y for a photograph that actually shows the falling flakes, and again for one representing the blizzard type of storm. You may shoot and shoot into a swirling snow storm and the flakes themselves will not show in the pic- ture, but if you choose the right sort of snowfall, the proper background. and the right distance, set thefocus right and give the correct exposure, you will get a picture in which the curtain of tumbling Rakes is vividly portrayed. The grind of snow storm for this is onothat occurs when there Is little wind, and when the temperature is about at the freezing point. Un- der these conditions the flakes usu- ally come down large -and fluffy and hence individually are more visible. The proper backgroundis impar, taut. Since snowflakes are white they"will not show very well ex cept against a 'dark background; so take your stance before a dark or shaded building and not more than say 50 feet away'. If you are much farther away, there will be so many flakes between the caniera•aad the building that the picture will show too many of them overlapping each other, as it were. What Is needed is a distinct record of comparatively a few of the multitude. Now put a little life interest into the scene. Get some one in dark clothes into lens opening and a dark background the picture, preferably of the fem- inine sex. Have her about 15 to 25 feet away and let her bo well mut- fled utfled up to give an additional touch to the wintriness of the scene. Now for setting the camera. The lens should be focused not on the. building but on your human' subject. With box type outfits or other set focus cameras, just use the largest Iens opening and click the picture —you will be sure to get something interesting, even if the day is only fairly bright. The chrome type of film should record the picture quite satisfactorily, although the super- sensitive will help out a little more• on darker days. For cameras with double lenses, the aperture should be no smaller than f.8 with a shutter- speed of 1/26 second. If there is a slight.wind this shutter speed may hot entirely "stop" the flakes but,a..' very slight movement will tend to. show the flakes all the more deli nitely. The flakes that show will be •. those that fall within a distance of a few feet from the subject. A regular swirling snow storm can also be caught and will be an- other type of winter storm picture. that will .fairly make you shiver to look at. The picture will not show individual flakes nor should it, iR • you want to produce a realistic pie - tore that looks like a roaring bliz-• zard. The same exposure ,sugges-•' tions as given for the other type of picture will do. 74 - JOHN VAN GTJILDER
