The wind was blowing strong and the flames spread fast, so fast that six dwel- lings, two shops and two stables, a- long with a lot of valuables, were de- stroyed.

YOU MUST JOIN PROCESSION Many self-centred individuals who want to get something out of life, fail to realize that life is a gallant procession that should be joined rath- er than watched. For those who on- ly watch, the procession is always past. To live really means to do something real,_ That is the simple essence of the adventure, —Kincardine Review -Reporter.. HOW PiJBLIC MONEY IS WASTED Some weeks ago the Durham Chronicle told of an inspector from the amusement tax branch who visit- ed the fall fair where' to make sure that the necessary tax Was. collected ATM the various games and side- voiced considerable surprise that one of the small permits may cost a- round ten dollar the next time Mag- istrate Walker holds open house in the town hall forum. The visit'"of the radio inspector ac- companied by an officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police makes an impressive sight in the town every so often and fortunate it is that there are sufficient officers in the gay. uniforms to give the visit to the ra- dio inspector an impressive appear- ance or the visit might become a drab' affair. In addition it costs twice as much to keep two men on the road and•. the radio tax payers have the satisfaction of knowing that their. money is, being used to keep humans from being hungry and not necessar- ily totally to :improve the quality of radio in Kincardine. Sufficient is it to say that there wa's the usual' rush for licenses issu- ing depots as soon as the "spotters" were spotted but the time was too late and there will probably be wail- ing at the box when summons are served in the course of the next few days. Of course the officers may take a more lenient view considering the fact that there are only 47 more shopping days until Christmas. Time has a most peculiar way of flitting around and many residents have found to their dismay that their licenses have expired due to the fact that instead of running out in De- cember they expire in April. —Kincardine News. ROW IS IT? Time makes many changes. Not so many years ,ago the village grocer couldn't leave a basket of apples in front of his store without a wire co- ver over them. Nowadays it is safe to leave fruit of all kinds exposed and boys seldom touch it. Is this be- cause the boys have been taught dif- ferently or is it because of the fact that most of them now are provided with spending money and buy what they want?—Listowel Banner. SHOULD SEEK GOOD MEN There is honor in serving' a muni- cipal office by acclamation when it is the opinion of the public that the particular man cannot be improved upon, but there is no honor when peo- ple are serving in the knowledge that no one else could be bothered with carrying on part of the town's bur- dens on their shoulders. Running a town is becoming in- creasingly difficult with the increase of relief and many other problems and therefore is it up to the voters to elect men best suited to the re- sponsibility. Shnilarily it is up to those whom the public has confidence in to run for office. It is to be hop- ed that there will be no acclamation this year and that a true expression of public opinion will be obtained. —Kincardine News. shows., The inspector "had to conte from Toronto, pay his bus hire, stay at the hotel overnight and for three meals, as well as getting his day's salary, and in return for all this he collected a total tax of 50 cents". However, we can tell an even better story. A similar inspector visited the Neustadt fall fair, but didn't col- lect anything because the sideshows refused to operate if they had to take out a license and pay amusethcnt tax.—Hanover Post. PREVIOUS VISITS OF INSPEC- TORS. FAILED TO WARN RADIO LISTENERS "Truly it has been said that a man is the only animal which can be skinned twice." Therefore a .couple of gentlemen representing the De- partment of Marine and Fisheries, Radio, Branch, dropped into Kincar- dine the early part of the week and departed with the names of -several citizens who had "quite, unintentional- ly" neglected to secure their permits. In fact some of the people visited claimed they were quite unaware that the ruling ever existed and READERS BEST LOCAL CUSTOMERS "Local merchants could afford to subscribe to their local paper as x gift to their patrons, in view of the proven influence on habits of local patrons." The above is the statement of 1111.

Mr. Goodnow found that community sub- scribers buy more 'inerchandise itr their town than do non-readers, rang- ing from 14 per cent. in cosmetics to 22 per cent. in women's apparel. but this again is almost of second ary importance as ,the damage Was not of enough importance to warrant any extensive search being amide, The. main point is not -the damage clone but the danger to which others were exposed, .Cayuga Advocate; DREAM TO REALISTIC A dream kick from, a cow. was too realistic for en aged Exeter lady and she is now suffering from ,a broken rib and bruises: Dreaming that she was again sitting on a milking "stool and that the cow was in the act of kicking her, Mrs. John Pedlar, of town, aged 84 years, in attempting to avoid the impact fell out of bed early Monday morning and fractured'a rib and was otherwise shaken up. —Exeter•, Times -Advocate.. WHAT A FALL! Surely this good land rarely has enjoyed a finer fall than that of 1936. The rains have been just right. We are of this opinion because we haven't heard a single farmer grumbling a- bout either the abundance or their lack of moisture. No better proof of our statement is needed. Then, on the same high authority, the pasture is the very best. The potatoes have not broken the heart of the small boy by their smallness. Turnips are grow- ing to date away beyond all bounds. Mangles, too, have been turning rap- idly into good money. Someone told us that about 18,000 bushels of bar- ley at one dollar per bushel have been shipped from this district. Hogs have been a fine price, away over the paying point $7.00 per cwt. Milk is a good price. So there you are. It's a great fall, —Exeter Times -Advocate. LIFE-SAVING TO BE RECOGNIZED Bert MacDonald to Receive Certi- ficate of Royal Humane Society Bert MacDonald, ex -harbormaster and idol of all juveniles at the water- front here, soon will be in receipt of a live -saving certificate from the Royal Canadian Humane Society. Without doubt Bert has, on many occasions, been deserving of an a- ward of this kind, but he modestly refuses to speak of his numerous brushes with death in his successful life-saving efforts. His most recent effort, which was brought to the attention of the pow- ers that be through the medium of the press, was on October 10th, when he rescued Fred Hardy, sixty -year- old C. N. R. workman, of Stratford, who was washed fronts the breakwa- ter into twenty-five feet of water, nearly a mile from shore. Fortun- ately Bert happened to be near with his boat, the Captain John: H. T. Edwards, Humane Society in- spector, wrote n-spector,wrote the head office of the thrilling rescue and on Friday last received declaration forms from H, E. Waterman, honorary secretary of the Society at Hamilton. These forms now are being filled out by eye -wit- nesses of the rescue, and will be re- turned to Hamilton for consideration. —Goderich Signal. Community merchants have anoth- er advantage, according to a cross- section of the survey taken among newspaper subscribers. This group purchases 76 per cent. of its toilet articles in community stores, the sur- vey reveals. The lowest percentage is shown in furniture: 58 per cent. against 45 per cent. Citizens who do not subscribe to their local paper am shown to do more buying in metropolitan centres in the items of bedding, kitchenware, electric appliances as well as wo- men's apparel and furniture. This means that the subscribers of the lo- cal paper are more Ioyai to the mer- chant and the general welfare of the town, It is the non-subseribers that do the most of their buying out of town. Subscribe to the local paper and buy at home. --Listowel Banner. A DANGEROUS THING TO DO' One night last week two poles were broken off just north of . the over, head bridge by a car. One of the poles belonged to •the Telephone Co. and the ether to the local Hydro Sys- tem. Whoever 3t was that dict it ere deeded in getting his car away from. the scene and leaving very little trace behind. From the skid marks on the road it is.supposed that the car got out of control before starting on its ram- page. But be that as it may, the point we wish to emphasize here is that a Hydro pole was broken and the wires left hanging there within reach of people 'passing. In this particular case the line is a high voltage one, 2,300 volts, which is sufficient to el- ectrocute a person. By leaving the scene of the mishap without notify- ing the proper authorities the driver of this car left a potential death trap. The evidence' left behind will in all likelihood eventually result in the conviction of the :party responsible WORKS OF GLAZOUNOW, RUSSIAN COMPOSER, WILL® BE, NEXT IN "CONCERT HALL" SERIES—FRANCES JAMES WITH CBC — STUDIO CHATTER Continuing the cycle o f Russian music being presented on the "Cana- dian Concert Hall of the.

CONDITIONS IN GERMANY While Germany spends her money on armaments, even raiding the in- suranee reserves and the savings banks to secure funds for that -pur- pose, the cost of living rises and the standard of living falls.

Crean, as known in Canada, is unobtainable. Milk is of poor quality, also butter. Eggs are very scarce. One wonders how long even a docile people will submit to such conditions, without rebelling against the rulers who have brought them about. =OriIIia Packet -Times.

The songs will be interpreted by Lila Valiant, so- prano. At 7.0,00' p.m. on November 11, the program "Ici Paris" will endeavour to recapture the explosion of extreme joy which accompanied the official announcement in Paris of Armistice. Poo 'this program, Andre Durieux, the orchestra leader, and Jacques Lenoir, genial master -of -ceremonies, will present French music, songs and stories typical of November, 1918. They will have with them their usual group of entertainers, together with several artists, recruited especially for the occasion.

No, an example of what happens when you don't hold your camera level. ONES of the satisfactions of ams. tour photography is that Lady Luck will so often play you the kindest of tricks. Much oftener than shooting an arrow aimlessly and hit- ting the mark, you may shoot a pic- ture without precaution or thinking of focus, exposure time or diaphragm opening, and, nevertheless, when tho negative is developed, find that you have obtained in all respects a good photograph. Dumb luck it is, really, but a tribute also to the capability of modern photographic equipment. 1Vfodern cameras and dims allow so much latitude for careless and inex= port use that, while they are not robots in theirperformance, they do cover up a lot of picture -taking sins. Fortunate as thatmay be,; it is certain' that the amateur who de- pends on luck entirely will get many poor pictures and waste a lot of film. There are some sins .which he can- not commit with ,impunity.. Here they are: 1. Tipping the camera with the re- sult that in the picture buildings appear to be toppling, and rivers run uphill or downhill: '' 2. Allowing the camera to move as the shutter is snapped,or jerking the shutter release under the im- pression that it can be made to move faster. Result: blurred picture. 3. Ditty or misty dens. Result: picture hazy, indistinct. 4. Letting the -finger tip slip over the edge of the lens. Result: silhou- ette of finger tip. 5. Giving a time exposure with- out resting the camera on some. fhm support. Result: blurred pic- ture. (A shaky fence is not good for a -tune exposure, neither ie the hood of an autoniobile when the en- gine is running.) 6; Trying to take a snapshot after a time or bulb exposure without re- adjusting the shutter. Result: .a much jumbled up image or perhaps • no picture at all. 7. Forgetting to turn key that movers the film, Result: jumble of two. pictures on one negative. 8. in focusing, wrongly estimat- ing the distance between camera and subject. Result: fuzziness. 9. With 'fixed focus cameras, tak- ing pictures of subjecte'near•er than 8 or 10 feet without a portrait at- tachment. Result: .blurred, out -o£ - focus image. 10. 'Using a large stop, for, distant views. Result: loss of distant detail. 11. Attempting broadside shots of movement too rapid for the shutter. Result: blur. (Moving objects can. bemstoppecl" by an ordinary camera if the picture is, taken frorn' an angle and not too Grose.) Yes, even in photography, brother, . your sins. will find you out. 101 JOAN VAN GUUILD11R.
