From The New Era, Oct. 30th, 1896: Some idea of the demand for apple barrels this "season may be gathered from the fact that Messrs. Ransford of the Stapleton Salt works have turn- ed out 35,000, Mr. Dickenson nearly 2,000, and when it is remembered that barrels have also been turned out by the thousand at Blyth, Hensall, Goderich, Seaforth and Manchester. The coopers have been pretty busy. Searle—Lee—At Indian Head, on. the 21st inst, by the Rev. A. Robson, Mr. W. C. Searle of Clinton, to Miss Mary Ann Eliza Lee of Indian Head, N.W.T.

When The Present Century Was Young • From The New Era, Oct. 26th, 1911: The Seaforth Collegiate Institute made a fine record this year, students winning all three Carter scholarships. Mr. J. C. Crooks arrived back in Clinton from his Western trip and af- ter a short stay in Toronto with his firm will be back to spend a couple of months in and around Clinton. The 38th annual convention of the East Huron Teachers' Institute was held in Seaforth last week. WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS 1ARE., SAYING NO JAZZ, PLEASE The Minister of Education announc- es that instruction in music is to be made compulsory in the public schools. The Department should make it clear that jazz is not music. —Goderich Signal. • THE BEST MEDIUM That women certainly read the ad- vertisements and buy accordingly is the report of an advertising specialist in Boston: He says: "For selling women's dresses, advertising is 16 per cent, more important than low price, and 25 per cent. more important than 'the style." This decision was reach- ed after interviewing 3,000 'women on what led them to buy at particular stores: He also found that 43 per cent. of the women bought their dress at the store whose newspaper adver- tising they liked best. This speaks well for newspaper advertising and the local weekly is the best medium • to convey the merchant's ` message. The fine service of Iocal news given by the weekly paper causes them to be closely read by the community. —Listowel Banner. Motor Vehicle Licenses To Re On Sale In Ontario November 2nd. Hon. T. B. Mc,Questen, Minister of Highways, has announced that 1937 Motor Vehicle Permits and Operators' Licenses will go on sale throughout the Province on November 2nd. The Highways Department is mak- ing 1937 Permits available at this time so that purchasers of new 1937 cars and trucks will. not be obliged to pay for 1936 registration and so that the increasingly large number of aut- umn purchasers of used cars • and trucks will not have to pay the usual transfer fee with only two months of the year remaining. The advance sale of 1937 Permits is also designed to alleviate the usual last' minute rush when 1936 Permits. expire at the end of the year: Motor- ists who wish to avoid waiting in line 'will be able to do so by procuring their new permits in November. The 1937 automobile registration plates commemorate Coronation Year both in colour and design. The fi- gures are white on a red background with a white crown on each side at the top. • The numbering arrange ment has been changed from last year. There will be no letter pre fixes._ The series letter will come in the .second, third or fourth position between the numerals and each plate will have only one series letter. In announcing the advance sale of 1937 Permits Mr. McQuesten stated that the Department will be unable to consider requests for special ar- rangements of numbers or special ser- ies letters. This has occasioned con- siderable extra work in the past and the Minister hopes, by its discontinu- ance, to save the expense this extra work involved and at the same time increase the efficiency of the service given to all motorists. One hundred issuing ,offices throughout the Province will be rea- dy to supply the new permits and re- gistration plates on November 2nd: As formerly, those living in districts remote from issuing offices can pro- cure their permits and licenses by mail, direct from the Department of Highways, Motor Vehicles Branch, Queen's Park, Toronto. • longer on trial, but has been condemn- ed and executed. In this country it is not, and never was (at any rate for the past couple of hundred years) on trial; it is part and parcel of our na- tional life, and something which it be- hoves us to regard as no less perman- ent than Herr Hitler's "thousand - year regime." If anything is on trial it is rather dictatorship, for we have still to see what happens to it when the day cones to find the 'successors of the men whose personality had laid its stamp upon their creations. No country can depend on a perpetual supply of Hitlers and Mussolinis. In their default, will anybody care to• say 'that dictatorship, relying as it does upon a very flexible principle of personal leadership, is likely to prove any more stable than democracy? —London Morning Post. IS THE BIBLE A CLOSED BOOK? Practically every Anglo-Saxon and Celtic home in western Ontario has a Bible. We'd like to know how many read it with anything like care? Yet, that was Cromwell's Book. It was Lincoln's Book: It was the Book of the pioneers of this part of a the pro- vince. It is the Book that has sur- vived the wreck of Empires. It in- culcates the highest morality. It lies at the foundation of the world's best jurisprudence. Wherever society heeds its teaching the weak are safe, the criminal is broughtto justice and the free spirit of man attains liberty. -In its pages God has been pleased to reveal more of His will to man than. He has done in any other way. No man and no nation can affordto neg- lect its message. We wonder, some- times, why this Rook is neglected. —Exeter Mmes -Advocate. OUR FORESTS "We need, says The Ottawa Jour- nal, "a -deeper sense of trusteeship in years old that are in worse condition our natural resources" Ontario, if than the twenty year old one, because it is to preserve its heritage, must in they have been driven almost every the future take greater care than in the past to protect is forests..' —Sault Star. hEAVE DRINKING SCENES OUT The Women's Christian Temper- ance Union of Ontario isof the op- inion that moving pictures would be just as interesting to the majority of patrons if the scenes that depict excessive drinking of alcoholic bever- ages were eliminated. The Union is taking the matter up with the Ontario censor. We believe that the women's judgment in the matter reflects a large field of public opinion. A num- ber of otherwise good plays have drinking scenes interpolated which are not necessary in the development of the plot and ahnost lead to they conviction that, they are part of a publicity campaign on behalf of liq- uor interests. Surely the plays would he strengthened by having the cbar-. acters act as normal human beings. —St. Marys Journal -Argus. DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD A Bronze Cross Story ' An outstanding example of courage and endurance in connection with two difficult water rescues, one suc- cessful, one unsuccessful, was that which this summer won the seldom given Scout's Bronze Cross for 16 year old King's Scout Eric Earnshaw of Halifax. During the July holiday a Mrs. Metzler was sunning herself on a rock on the rugged shore at Peggy's Cove, N.S., when a high wave sud- denly swept her into deep water. In response to the call for help from others, Scout Earnshaw ran to the scene, throwing off his clothes as he ran, and plunged into the heavy surf. The woman was floating unconscious some 20 yards out. He reached her, and holding her by the head, swam shoreward, He gained footing on a rock, but the receding comber swept him back. He, tried again, and again, and was near exhaustion when Rena Luton and Peter Hertzberg, 15 year old visitors from Tornoto, jumped in to help him. A Mr. T. E. Brown, who had but one arm, and who could not swim, also tried to assist, but lost his footing on the slippery rocks and also was swept away. While Peter continued supporting the unconscious woman, Eric and Rena turned to sav- ing Brown" One on either side they swam with him to 'a fisherman's rope stretching from the cliff top, and grasped this. The rope broke, but they succeeded' in tying it, and Were able to maintain their position against the undertow but could not reach shore. Meantime, with the aid of a rope thrown to him, Peter Hertzberg had reached the shore with Mrs. Metzler. A boat with a fisherman and his son came on the scene, and took Mr. Brown and Rena and Eric aboard The people ashore were now,. calling for Scout Earnshaw, as the only one present who knew how to give arti- ficial respiration. Erie and the oth- ers asked the fishermen to put them ashore, but the fishermen refused, declaring their boat would be smash- ed on the rocks. Finally, exhausted as he was, Scout Earnshaw again plunged into the waves and battled his way ashore, landing farther up the bay. He ran back to the pros- trate woman and at once began giv- ing her artificial respiration, at the same time•directing others about him to make sure her mouth was cleat, and how to assist in other ways. Two doctors presently arrived and took overthe patient. Unhappily their ef- forts were fruitless. Said the Dominion Scout Medal Board report: "The whole story is one of great gallantry by Scout Earn- shaw, Rena Luton and Peter Hertz- berg. Unfortunately it is not within the scope of the Scout Association to—deal with any case but that of Scout Earnshaw. The Board ventures to express' the hope that the conduct of the two others concerned will, be publicly recognized." Scout Earnshaw is the son of Col. Philip Earnshaw, General' Staff Of- ficer, M.D. No. 6, Halifax. Rena Luton is the daughter of Col. R. L. Luton, Chief Medical Officer, R.C.A. M.C., and Peter Hertzberg the son of Col. C. S. L. Hertzberg, both of To- ronto. DONOT CONDEMN UNHEARD It has been suggested that all cars, of the old models should be forced off the roads, as it is claimed that they are a menace to traffic. The age of a car should not be the grounds on which they should be denied the use of the highway, for there are some cars twenty years old that are still running as well as ever and are still in good condition. The owners have taken the best of care of them and they are never abused. On the other hand there are cars only four or five WOMEN IN THE CLOTH. No doubt there is a great deal of excellent work which women can do. There are many situations with which they are admirably fitted to deal with problems of women and girls in the congregation, but whether they would be able to stand the work of a full pastorate is something to which a deal of doubt appears to be attached. The fact that the suggestion has been hanging fire for a good many years is proof that this doubt exists in the inner councils of the church. —Peterborough Examiner. day, in the year, and often so reckless- ly that it is a wnoder that they are still in use. It may be a suggestion of the automobile manufacturers that all old cars should be chloroformed, as it would be a great thing for busi- ness. If a car is suspected of being a victim of some indisposition, a di- agnosis should' be made to determine whether or not it is fit for the road. —Pickering News.

In' many countries it is no closing the light about Quick starting every Clinton motorist should know! GASOLINE is a liquid like water. However, where water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, gasoline is composed of carbon and hydrogen.These two can be combined inmany different patterns, called "hydrocarbons". Quick starting depends upon the presence, in a motor fuel, of a group of very light "hydro- carbons". These,' as they are found in un- finished gasolines, are seldom in their proper proportions and usually contain 'gaseous and too volatile fractions which: cause power loss and vapor lock. However, in making BLUE SUNOCO the engineers retain only the desirable, easily ignited "hydrocarbons" in exactly the right proportions to give instant starting all winter long, followed by other hydrogen and car- bon combinations which provide lightning - like acceleration, high knockless power and long mileage.

In Toronto, more than a thousand men and women graduates of the Univer- sity will pay homage at a great banquet to their fellow -graduate, Sir William Mulock, the University's most distinguished son. At other ban- quet in cities across Canada, thousands more graduates will honour Sir William, and, ;by means of radio, will listen to the speeches of the prominent guests in attendance atToronto. Will Be Outstanding Event While the week -end of October 30 is the University of Toronto home- coming, it is significant of the regard in which this famous Canadian insti- tution holds Sir William that prob- ably the outstanding event of the three days will be the dinner in his honour. Sir William's connection with the University of Toronto is one that never has been equalled by any other graduate. He has been Chancellor there' by acclamation since 1924. But his first contact was in 1859 when he was a freshman of fifteen years of age He graduated in 1863 winning the Gold Medal in Modern Languages. Af- terwards lie went to Osgoode Hall and, for a number of years following his energies were chiefly directed to- wards the practice of law. In 1873 he was elected a member of the Senate of the University and in 1881 was el- ected Vice -Chancellor. In, a large measure, Sir William was responsible for the Federation of the various col- leges which now for the, University of Toronto. Following Federation he turned his attention to other fields. He was elected' a member of the House of . Commons in 1882, and rap- idly became a front bench member of the Liberal Opposition. In 1896 he was -elevated to cabinet rank by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, becoming Postmas- terGeneral. He continued h connec- lion with the University, remaining as Vice -Chancellor until he resigned in 1900. For nearly a quarter of a century his only connection with his alma mater was that of distinguished alumnus, until it. 1924 he was elected Chancellor by Acclamation. Sir Wil- liam Mulock is one of the University of Toronto's most distinguished grad- uates and his career is without par- allel in Canadian history. The broad- cast of the proceedingsat the., main Toronto dinner will be an event of national interest. Distinguished People To Speak Among the distinguished figures to be heard during the course of the broadcast are: Dr. H. J. Cody, Presi- dent of the University; Sir Edward Beatty; Dr. W. J. Deadman, President of the Alumni Federation who will present the illuminated address to Sir William; from London,. England, the British Postmaster - General, Ma- jor the Rt. Hon. G. C. Tryon, M.P. will speak. From Vancouver, W. G. Swan, an outstanding engineer and graduate will speak. From Winnipeg, Mrs, R. F. McWilliams, former Cana- dian delegate to the League of Na- tions, and from Halifax, Dr. Carle- ton Stanley, . President of Dalhousie University, the latter speakers also being distinguished graduates of the U. of T. One of Sir William's Rare Appear- ances The occasion will mark one of the. rare appearances of late of Canada's Grand Old Man. Since his retire- ment a short while ago as Chief Jus- tice of the., province of Ontario, Sir William has looked forward with ex- traordinary keenness and pleasure to the rest he has earned after a long and brilliant career spent in the ser- vice of his country, a, career which saw him responsible for the establish- ment of penny postage. Now at the age of ninety-four, he 'withdraws more and more from the public eye, and he willhave at least as much time as he wants for his beloved fish- ing, and for the enjoyment of the magnificent groves of'black walnut trees, which he planted himself years ago which, on his estate north of Toronto, form one of the most inter- esting stands in the province. Cycle of Russian Music Selections from the works of emin- ent Russian composers comprise the cycle of music to be played during the • November "Canadian Concert Hall of the Air" broadcast to be heard oyer the coast-to-coast network of the national radio system.. The pro- grams, which will originate in the Montreal studios and which will be presented each Friday at 9.30 p.m. EST, will feature the Little Sym- phony under the baton of Dr. J. J. Gagnier, as well as outstanding guest artists. ' , ' The first broadcast in the new ser- ies will bring to listeners the work of four composers who have made last- ing contributions' to the artistic de- velopment of that country.- .For' this program Annatte Brunet, pianist, will be guest artist and will be heard in two numbers, playing first a piano solo ("Prelude in G. Minor," by Sergei Rachmaninoff) and then with the orchestra in the, third movement from the second concerto for piano and orchestra, also by Raehmaninoff, The orchestra will play "La Petite Guerre," by Cesar. Cul; Nicolai Salm- low's "In•a Gondola" and "Islamic Chant"; and Clinka's overture "Rus siaon and •Ludmilla."

Her father took off his headnet. Like hers, it had been snagged by a branch. He dipped his fingers in the dope and smeared the stuff 911 his face and neck as Garth had done. Garth said, as he began to stitch the moccasins: "Eat your fill. Miss Ramill will stay to tend the fires. You and I are to climb. You'll wear Huxby's leather trousers outside your own." "But they're too small for me a-•. round the belt." "They'll not be after "a few days., You'll wear the jacket also." A taste of hot marrow roused the girl's appetite. Hunger ' overcame, her other cravings. She said nothing•; even when, at the end of the meal;, her father drew on Huxby's flying suit over his clothes and started off' with Garth.
