From The Clinton News -Record, Mar: 25th, 1896: The Wingham Advance says: The to of. Clinton recently fell heir to the snug sum of $10,000, and now the council of that town don't know what to do with it. Citizens were pained on Monday to learn of the death of Mrs. Thos. Jackson, Sr. At a meeting of the boys of the Collegiate on Tuesday evening the football club was reorganized, the following list of officers being elect- ed: Hon. -President: Mr. J. Houston, M.A. President: J. W. Treleaven, B.A.' Vice: F. Biggin. Sec. -Treasurer: E. H. Cooper. Captain: P. Campbell. Committee: R. Baird, - G. Irwin, R. Jeckell, M. Nesbitt. Last week's storm was one of the most severe while it lasted experi- enced for some years. Thursday night's train for the west was can- celled at Stratford and no mails were received from Toronto until late Saturday afternoon. The. London di- vision, while still blocked, was not so long delayed. The storm was so heavy in eastern parts of the Pro- vince that railway traffic was not resumed in some instances until, yesterday. (March storms are not a novelty at all, it seems). From The NewE Mar. 27th, 1896: Mrs. Wm. Cooper has gone to Toronto owing to the illness of her eldest son, John. The annual meeting of the South Huron Liberal Association will meet in Brucefield on Saturday, April 4th, at 1 p.m., sharp, for election of offi- cers and the transaction of other business. One night last week a load of young people drove over to the tea - meeting at Varna. Just after get- ting started on their return the rig broke, dumping the party in the snow. One of the . party, Miss M. Washington, had her shoulder dislo- cated, but it readjusted itself. The arm is still pretty sore. Arthur McRae, son of Mr. A. Mc- Rae of town, has. recently gone in- to the drug business in Detroit and is doing well. His brother James is now with him. Chas. J. Wallis is buying up hor- ses for the English market. The Dominion Parliament has just twenty days more in which to live. The collection taken in the Bruce - field Presbyterian church on Sunday for the relief of the suffering Ar- menians amounted to a few cents under sixty-five dollars. Holmesville:—We understand that Mr. James Ford intends leaving, for Manitoba next Tuesday, the contrac- tor for whom he worked when out there having made him an offer. The Holmesville parliament will miss Jim, for he is one of the lead- ing members of the opposition. But we hope to see him back again be- fore many months. When The Present Century Was Young From The News -Record, Mar. 23rd, 1911: Mr. J. Lewis Evans of Louisville, Ky., paid a flying visit to Clinton this week. Mr. Fred' Mutch is suffering from a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, his many friends will regret to hear. The moving picture show, under the management' of the Boys' Asso- ciation; has been well patronized dur- ing the past • week. Apart from the pictures each evening localtalent has been brought into requisition and a pleasing program put on. Mr. Robt. Cochrane, on of Mr. Geo. Cochrane, of Stapleton, leaves next Monday for .Victoria, B.C. Dame Rumor insists that he will not go a- lone and the fact that he has pur- chased two tickets gives color to the report. Mr. and Mrs. E. Sweet have been visiting Hensall and Exeter friends for the past few weeks. Col. Hugh Clark, M.P.P., will be the next speaker at the Clinton Club. Miss Lillian Agnew of the teach- ing staff of the Central Business Col- lege, Stratford, was a week -end visitor at her home in town. Mr. Harvey Colclough of Wycliffe College occupied the pulpit of St. Paul's church on Sunday and preach- ed excellent sermons. Rev. Richard Whiting of London preached morning and evening in Wesley church on Sunday, it being the ninth anniversary of the opening of the present church. An interesting meeting of the Clinton Club was held on Thursday last when Mr. John A. Cooper, edi- tor of the Canadian Courier, Toron- to, delivered an address. Our worthy citizen, Police Magis- trate Andrews, went across to St. Clair, Mich., last week to attend the funeral of ,a relative, and on his way home had an unusual and unpleasant experience, the. Canadian Immigra- tion officials at the border holding him up. They finally, and apparent- ly with reluctance, allowed him to step upon the free soil of his native land once more. Imagine the feel- ings, if you can, of this staunch Can- adian, descendant of Empire Loyalist stock, at being so detained! On Thursday last after a few days' illness Public School Inspector Robb of East Huron, passed away at his home in Brussels. From The New Era, Mar. 23rd, 19-': Judge Holt is holding court m town today. . • The editor tried to celebrate his birthday in a pleasant way, even though it carne on a Thursday and everything was going along nicety till press time. After running off some papers and making a change we started again, when all of a sud- den page 5 fairly flew off the press and a "Pi" of the worst kind was to be seen. No one spoke and a sort of "Blind' staggers" hit everyone. We were indeed thankful that we had over four galleys of good, readable type standing, so that we soon had another .page made up. Only those of the "Fourth Estate" know what a funny feeling itgives one to see a page of type spill on press day. WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING JUST LIKE HIM We have listenedto members of the legislature take up a whole after- noon •in jangling and rag chewing, and some duller one take as much time drivelling to no purpose at alt. Meanwhile legislation, the intelligent discussion of our real problems, could wait. But the, short, deliberate, im- pressive address of W. Angus Dick- son, a week ago was of another class. Forestry isn't his pet hobby. Prob- ably he knows little more about it than he does about mining, and cer- tainly.far less than his grasp of agri- culture, of munipical and county ad- ministration, and of ,plain common sense practical finance. Yet his ad- dress was impressive for several rea- sons. It wasn't abusive of anybody to begin with. It wasn't unreasonab- le in any way. It was also .construc- tive, ' and, finally, it was short. But, because of all these qualities, it was impressive. He made a favorable lin- pression upon the wholeassembly, of both and of all parties, and a lot more who have read and approved, who didn't hear it at all. -,-Listowel Standard. POOR OLD BRITAIN The head that wears a crown may be unhappy, but no more so than 'a country like Britain,to whom the world looks for guidance. Now it has been suggested that Britain sign a treaty with France and Belgium guaranteeing to come to their aid if attacked by Germany, and another treaty with Germany, guaranteeing to come to her aid if 'attacked by France or Belgium. In this way it Is hoped to appease the fears of both countries:: Poor old Britain! In case anything at all turns up, it looks as if she is in it. This is the part .a world ' power pays for the privilege of being a world power—unless they dodge their responsibilities the same as one big nation we know. Despite what many of our pacifists say, it is impossible •for. Britain to keep out of world affairs. While the European situation appears to most of us as crazy, there has been little of this .evidenced by Britain in deal- ing with precarious situations. Bri- tain is for peace, first, last and all the time, and with her is linked up every part of the Empire. If Britain falls, so falls the Empire. Recently a .prominent Member of Parliament made the statement over the radio that if Canada cannot, stay out of a possible war and at the same time stay in the Empire, then she should stay out and let go the Em- pire. We imagine his following' Is small. There are some, no doubt, who. will agree with him, but to Canada the greatest thing in the world Is the British Empire. If. we are sates, fied with the Empire . in times of peace we should stay with it in time of war. If Canada really agrees with the radio speaker, the manly thing to do is to get out of the Empire before any trouble starts. Durham Chronicle. IF IT DOESN'T ALREADY Lord Roseberry once said: "If the Government does not control the THE CLINTON liquor traffic,: the liquor traffic will control' the Government." And he was right.—Stratford Beacon -Herald. TEN YEARS THE? EDITOR Ten years ago this week the pre- sent editor of the Journal -Argus ar- rived in St. Marys from Walkerton to take over the active managership of this paper from his father, the late John Wolfe Eedy, who had for thirty- one years previous to that time been associated with newspaper publish- ing in'St. Marys. —St. Marys Journal -Argus. EDITORIAL COMMENT There is always some person ask- ing embarrassing questions, 'to wit: the Algoma -Manitoulin member who told the Ontario legislature: ;"If ev- ery member of the i•Iouse who has broken the liquor law was made in- eligible to sit in the House, how many of us would be here?". The Speaker_ of the House is said to be "clamping down" on women who click their knitting needles, while. sitting in the visitors' gallery. At the same time, however, members chat among themselves, write letters, read novels and rustle newspapers while their opponents pour forth oratory. —Hanover Post. FIRST GIRL TRAMPS MAKE • APPEARANCE pI Two nineteen year old Midland girls will appear in 'police courtto-I morrow morning to face a charge of vagrancy. They were arrested , byi Chief Church on Tuesday evening, when they entered the police office, 1 in company with a young man, and I asked for a meal and a night's lodg- ings. They were arrested, when Chief Church discovered, after investigation! that they had given fictitious names. The girls were dressed in men's clothing and they told the Chief that they were on their way to Parry Sound where Helen O'Leary's father was ill. They said that they were, from Midland. When the Chief tele -I phoned Midland he found that the; girl's father was in Midland and was not ill. The Chief said that the girls were not warmly dressed - and that their, feet were wet. They were taken to the county gaol at Barrie to await trial.—Orillia Packet -Times. NEWS -RECORD THE SAP IS IN THE MAPLE TREES Maple Products Manufacture One Of Canada's Important Industries The sap is running in more than 70,000,000 maple trees in Eastern Canada and approximately 50,000 farmers in an area extending from Western Ontario down to the Atlantic seaboard in Nova Scotia are engaged in harvesting the sweet and succulent product. When the sap is in the maple tree Spring is round the cor- ner, no matter what "Old Probe" may say. Though there are over 70,000,000 producing trees on Eastern Canadian farms, only about 24,000,000 will pe tapped, but these will return to the farmers a sizeable amount.'' The rev- enue from the sale of maple sugar and maple syrup for 1935 was $3,522,- 420, ' 3,522,420,' an increase of $481,820 over 1934. There appears to be no sound rea- son why far more than one-third of the trees in Canada should not be brought into production. Officials of the Fruit Branch of the Dominion ,Department of Agriculture say this could soon be changed if the public would realize that maple syrup ands maple sugar are not merely seasonal products but good all the year round. Neither deteriorates by time in any way if kept properly sealed or cov- ered and in cool storage. Just as the genesis of practical agriculture in Canada is associated with the French, for in 1605 de Monts and a party of settlers did some planting at Port Royal and in 1617 Louis Hebert established the first farm at Quebec, so the French were the first to lay the foundations of the maple syrup and maple sugar industrty in the Dominion. It, is true•the Indians from before the first recording of .history knew of the del- ectable -,products of the maple trees. As early as 1673 the French priests visualized the commercial advantages of the sap from the maple tree for they made a report accordingly to their superiors in France. But there is no record ofcommercial production until 1706 and it was six years later before the first consignment of maple syrup and maple sugar was shipped to market. This went from Sault au Recollet to Montreal, ten . miles away. There has been a veritable Niagara of sap drawn from the trees since that epochal event 230 years ago and the business has grown and developed until it is now a sub- stantial industry and guarded by a special Act and Regulations to in- sure the purity of the syrup and sugar when offered for sale. As a matter of fact, the amount of adul- terated maple syrup and sugar sold is practically negligible so vigilant are the officials of the Department of. Agriculture. Of 310 samples se- lected . by Fruit Branch Inspectors here, there and everywhere, five were found not to comply with that section of the Act dealing with pro- per identification of imitation pro- ducts and seven were found adulter- ated. In all cases, convictions were obtained. In addition 23 storekeep- ers and four restaurant keepers paid penalties for failure to mark correct- ly imitation products. The Province of Quebec is the cen- tre of the industry, for 75.3 per cent of the Canadian production that b marketed comes from there. Produc- tion is heaviest in the counties of Beauce, Brome, Mississquoi and Shef- ford, south of the St. Lawrence River and along the north shore between Montreal and Quebec City: Ontario accounts for 24.3 per cent. The greater part of the Ontario supply comes from the counties of Lanark, Leeds and Glengarry. The Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia produce the remainder. Up until a few years ago the me- thods employed for preparing the syrup and sugar were very primitive and there was a more or less "fine disregard for cleanliness.. The bark • FAIR TO THE RAILWAYS? "When the blizzard spell was at its worst, roads all over the Province were blocked. In spite of all the snow- plows could do, road traffic was prac- tically raytically at a standstill. But thru it all the old faithful railroads were open. True, some of the trains were ;run- ning a little late; but they were run- ning. From several places came stor- ies of threatened 'starvation or suf- fering from cold because the roads were blocked and the regular supplies of food and fuel could not be brought in. And in every case it was mention- ed that the town or village was "without railway accommodation." With a good many of them that was because truck and bus competition had been too strong and the railways had been forced to discontinue opera- tion. "But how long will that be remem- bered? It is safe to say that, as soon as conditions become right forroad traffic, the railways which served so well when every other means of trans- portation was tied up will be forgot- ten and the people will go back to the trucks and busses. . "Is that playing the game? Is it fair to the railways to let them stand the expense of bucking snowdrifts in order to keep communication open — and then forget all about them? It is not."—Owen Sound Sun -Times. WHAT'S TO BE DONE Over there in Europe some nations have a profound respect for their pledged word. Germany by its ac- tions declares that it will keep its word only so long as it is convenient to do so. Germany has torn up every peace treaty without so much as say- ing "by your leave." It'slatest ex- ploit has been to violate the most sol- emn of its international pledges say- ing, meanwhile, this violated pledge did not 'suit us. Come, let us make another pledge!" What is Europe to do under such• circumstances?- Men like Stanley Baldwin and Stalin and the President of France and the 49 nations associated with them must act. What is there, for them to do when Hitler is, rubbing their noses morning, noon and night. These na- tions do a-tions-do not want war, but Germany is goose -steeping over territory she pledged herself to keep out of. What has Canada to say of a nation proving herself the wild boar• of civilization? Germany has made up tier mind as to her course of actien. What of the rest of the world? —Exeter Times -Advocate.

Markham and later 'pas- sed away and whose son was also ser- iously injured: by being shot in the stomach, is a distant relative of Mrs. Harry Hopper of town, Robert Stonehouse, of Belgrave, Jim Stone- house of Dungannon and Joe Stone- house of Westfield. —Wingham Advance -Times. 10 GRANDPARENTS The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Curran, of Crewe, near Lucknow, is more fortunate than most people in the fact that she has ten grandparents living.

'DOG KILLS DOE A big doe met its doom when it wandered into the barnyard at Ar- chie'Mc'Intyre's farm 'a few days ago. Upon sighting the deer, the dog attacked it and in the battle that ensued the canine was vi c t o r- Gerald Wanger, who is employed by Mr. Macintyre, was working nearby with the team, but could not leave them standing and by the time he reached the 'scene, the battle was ov- er, Constable Moore was notified and brought the ' animal to , town. At this time of the year, deer are not so good to eat and the carcass will be disposed of rather than cut up for meat—Lucknow Sentinel. of the trees were cut with an axe, the spiles and buckets were of wood and the boiling was done inopen iron kettles in the bush. - The resulting products were dark in colour with a decided flavour of smoke, with usual- ly a fair percentage of impurities that came from ashes, bits of batk, moss or whatever the wind whisked into the contents of the open kettle. It is still more or less popularly be- lieved that the best maple syrup should be dark in colour and strong in flavour while as a matter of fact, the best and purest is amber in. col- our and free of any caramel or smoky flavour. In those pioneer days maple syrup and sugar was made primarily for family use to augment a somewhat limited menu. In other words fam- ily necessity was the principal fac- tor behind the industry. Cane sugar was a rare delicacy to the farmer liv- ing some distance from cities and towns, moreover, it was too expen- sive. About 1850 the commercial pos- sibilities of maple syrup began to be appreciated. In 1851 the total pro- duction was about 13,500,000 pounds. Forty years later it had jumped to 22,600,000 pounds. Lest anyone should think that racketeering is a modern practice, it is interesting to know that it was fairly well developed more than 40 years ago in connection with the maple syrup. and maple sugar industry for the market became glut- ted with adulterated products andit appears little was done about it. In 1915 it was decided that it was time to step in and protect the public and also to see that these essentially Canadian products should be pure and unadulterated, so legislation design- ed to curb the racketeering was pas- sed. To some extent this was sne- cessful but time disclosed even more effective measures were required, so in 1930 the Maple Sugar Industry Act was passed and this, put the crimp in the racketeer. The industry is now well established and organized on a basis of integrity. The restrictive measures of the Act prohibit adulteration of maple products, forbid the use of the word maple or any derivative of the word in the description of a syrup or sugar which is not a pure maple product, require the proper naming of the in- gredients of syrups or sugars resemb- ling pure maple products, and the in- dication on menus or bills of fare in public eating houses, restaurants and hotels, that where such is the case an artificial maple flavor is used to flavor foods. The constructive features of the Act include the establishment of standards for maple products, which are descried as .products prepared directly or indirectly from the sap of the maple, the, establishment of sani- tary conditions under which maple products may be prepared, provision for the registration and licensing of sugar bushes, and manufacturing plants and the provision of voluntary grades for maple syrup and sugar. Maple syrup must weigh not less than 13 pounds two ounces per gallon, and contain not more than 35 per cent wetar. Maple sugar must contain not more than 10 per cent water; maple butter, maple cream and maple wax not more than 15 per cent water. This legislation is intended to be beneficial to the industry by creating in the minds of the consuming public that pure maple products are assur- ed to them. While modern improvements have come with the commercializing of the industry, such as the suastituting of metal spiles and pails with covered tops, with scientific evaporators re- placing the open iron kettles, the ro• mantic association when the sap is running continues. It is then that the impish young demi-god Cupid is all set for a busy time, for then, with the vernal sun beginning to'rejuven- ate plant life, a young man's fancy, and a young maiden's too, lightly turns to thoughts of what is not merely mundane. Young people who live in' towns and villages within easy distance of a sugar bush get a thrill at a sugaring off party. There is the walk or drive to the woods on a sunny day' in Macrh, the sampling of hot syrup and the tasting of "wax" that has been allowed to harden on the clean snow and then the trip home perhaps in the moonlight. What bet- ter setting dould Cupid have for his work. Sap running time comes at a per- iod of the year—about the middle of. March -when there is little other ac- tivity . on the farm and the harvest provides the farmer with money to buy seedsand other necessities tor, his busy season just, ahead. There is a 'ready' market for what- ever amount of either syrup or sugar is produced. If the majority of, per- sons living in the urban centres of Canada really knew of the excellent food value of maple syrup and maple sugar, a food which in addition to be- ing •notably delectable also has pe- culiarly valuable medicinal qualities, the demand would increase as it should. The average annual per caps-, to production of maple products, as expressed in pounds of sugar, is 2.2 lbs, and the average per capita ex- port is 0.7 lbs., which represents an average yearly consumption of only 1.5 lbs. of sugar per person in Can- ada, a rather discouraging figure. In recent years there has been some increased demand for maple products for flavoring by the confec- tionery onfecttionery industries but the biggest in- crease has come from-tobacco'manu- - ; PAGE "Yes. that's what I work for, and I'm, the most willing worker you ever hired!

Our local business office will gladly supply information.. facturers, who use maple sugar to ' sweeten the weed in preference to mo- lasses. One large cigarette making firm in the United States is a heavy I buyer of Canadian maple sugar. Not more than 35 per cent of the stand of maple trees in Eastern Canada is exploited. Therefore the possibility of development of this industry is plainly evident. With 80 per cent exploitation, as is the case in the United States, the Canadian crop would exceed 60,000,000 lbs. in an average year. A quickened demand would naturally stimulate the pro- duction. The sap is running in the trees now and the resulting syrup and sugar will be on the market in a short time. It will be good then and equal- ly as good at any time throughout the year and what has been said o2 strawberries is just as true of Cana- dian maple products, that doubtless God could have made better products than maple syrup and maple sugar, but doubtless he never did.

GRAIN OF LUCK By Vincent Cornier Miss Penelope Mallet smoothed those errant curlinesses that would persist in flanking her temples, de- spite the discipline of the rest of her iron -grey hair. And, having smooth- ed these back, she put on that patient and slightly wearied expression she adopted as a shield against the mat- ters distasteful. "This," she said to Mr. Joshua Ber- ker, "is the bureau I wanted you to see." Mr. Joshua Berker was tall and hatchet-faced and habitually saturn- ine. He played with his heavy gold "albert" and seemed to forget that his nails were long and dirty and his skinny fingers were Red Indian -ed with old French polish. "Well, I've seen it,"he'replied..' Miss Penelope Mallet started and her hand touched her overall .pocket wherein was a handkerchief already crumpled and oddly damp. "But—but, I mean to say, you haven't been in the house more than a few minutes,and--" "Quite long enough, mums totell you that this piece isn't a bit of use to me." He smiled, and Miss Mallet forgave his manner, his fingers, and his general air of satanical smugness, for that irradiating and charming smile; and, what good teeth he had "Forgive me if I've seemed abrupt, mum. But it's always been my way."' "I—I thought you'd have examined it, at any rate." "What's the use? Antique furni- ture 'scouting' gives one a nose that smells wrong. As a bureau—this is• a first-class piece of workmanship. As a specimen of old cabinet-making, it's a wash-out." "I know it's a hundred and fifty years old," Miss Mallet bridled, "be, cause there's a bill for it, receipted pasted underneath one of its drawers.. It—it cost forty-five guineas in 1782, at Levick's of Albemarle Row—" "Never in this world! Never, mum' -never! John Levick of the Albem• - arle never made an oak bureau In his life.
