PRESENTATION
To Mr. and Mrs. L. Batkin
A very pleasant evening • was spent
at the hone of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
Batkin, south' of town, last Friday ev-
ening, when a large number of friends
gathered at their hone, and present-
ed -thein with a walnut mantel clock.
The following address was read by,
Mr. George Elliott, Sr., and the pre-
sentation' was made by Mr. Roy Tyn-
fall,,
"Dear Lloyd and Isobel:
We the ;friends of ' your Community,
Chose to grasp this opportunity;
Of visiting you in your new abode,
Down this pleasant, happy road;
We hope your hearts may always be,
Joyful, happy and ever care free;
You are both held in high esteem, •
Just recently wed, so it doth seem.
So in view of remembering this hap-
: py occasion, '
Without more delay, or any persuas-
i ion;;
We ask you to accept this Mantel
Clock, -
And if only the poor old thing could
talk; , •
It would tell. you who it's purchasers
were,
And all their .names, would fill the
air; ,•
But since it can only say—tick, tock,
For clocks were never made to talk.
I'll give you just this little hunch,
The Clackis from the whole of the
bunch;
We thought a clock ,would suit' you
best,
For we know, you could not pass the
test;
Of rising early in the norm.
Without the aid of Clock or Horn;
But when this Clock chimes in your
ear,
You'll know that rising tithe is near.
May we your friends, all have a place,
Each time you look at this Clock's
• face;
And every time it strikes anew,
May it peel out happiness to you;
Keep your trust in God my dears,
To guide you through the coming
years;
Let love radiate . from home and
hearth,
For love is the greatest • thing on
earth."
The groom made a very suitable r6 -
ply thanking the guests for the lovely
gift.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in contests, songs, readings, etc.,
after which a dainty pinch was served.

jSensibie Home Decorating
In must families the matter of
home ,decor'ationis the women's pre-
rogative but only a foolish woman
plans a totally feminine house in
which a man -will feel out of place,.
If you plan to improve your home, re
member the male element!
A room filled with soft frilly ruf-
fles is dainty and lady -like, but it is
hardly 'a room to cnalce a man want
to stay around and read the evening
newspaper and spill ashes. A room
that is to be used jointly by the en-
tire family should be furnished with
serviceable materials and furniture.
There is no need to sacrifice style
and colour. Today this may be found
in the most pactical equipment.
Funds for redecorating and mod-
ernizingthe• lia

under the Home Improvement Plan.,
Letters to. the Editor
A NEW VIEWPOINT
Dear Editor:—A unique feature in
the recent election campaign was a
fact brought out clearly viz, that, on
uetober nth, 1937, approximately
1000 electors publicly declared, by
their ballot, that their allegiance to
the temperance cause far transcended
their affiliation to any political par-
ty.
It was evident, too, that many el-
ectors, numbering in the thousands,
we believe, felt that the prospect of
electing the out-and-out temperance
candidate was so uncertain that it
were bolster once moreto vote for
the old party candidate, especially
when, at the last moment, some hope-
ful readjustment of the temperance
issue was offered.
These have, however, not forgotten
how fax the promises of "Advanced
Temperance Legislation" got us in
1934 and are not too sanguine with
respect to the promises for 1937.
The liquor magnates think they
have againdealt us another knock-
out blow, which will peep us sleep-
ing, at least, until another election,
but•in this they reckon wrongly for
the Temperance people of Huron are
stirred as never before to strike at
the subtle python head, of the traf-
fic wherever that head appears.
And this brings us face to face
with the present immediate need, If
we cannot just now rid ourselves of
the nefarious beverage rooms, we
can, at least, 'Provide for the o wa casual-
ties s who to already numbered y nume by
hundreds, if not thousands. and The
is s.
great outstanding need is for a go' -
element institution, which, without
financial profit to anyone, will pro-
vide adequate treatment and rehabil-
itation for those addicted to drink,
There are some private institutions
in Ontario where this work is under-
taken, but the cost to the patient is
prohibitive anis the distances too
great. As an appreciation of the
confidence placed in me by so, many
of the temperance electors of Huron,
i purpose to take up this phase of
the problem with the Premier of the
Province. I shall, if other conditions
do not intervene, offer to go to New
York and other centres to gather
statistics and details l'egercling the
latost.and best measures to be taken,
and respectfully ask him to relegate
a sufficient part of the liquor revenue
millions to' the equipping of an in-
stitution for the treatment and reha-
bilitation of the many unfortunates
for whom the habit has already be-
come a disease, and, who are pf them-
selves hopelessly helpless.
This worth while objective would,
in a measure, express my thanks to
my. 1000 voters, as well, as to the
other thousands of truly temperance
people, who thought it best just now
to vote otherwise, but who will join
with us enthusiastically in furthering
this present great need.
In the meantiane to you, Mr. Edi-
tor, and electors of Huron, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
—ALEXANDER MOIR.
Councillor ;Expresses Views.
To The Ratepayers of Clinton:
Explanation ie my resignation
from. Council which you'are entitled
to (made upon request)..
Direct cause was in regard to an
account presented to charity commit-
tee by one of our merchants. 'There
was no admittance either by voucher
or order for same, and when present-
ed •to council was thrown out and re-
fused payment. I explained and told
said merchant that we would eat pay
account, being directed to do so by
Council.
Next meeting of Council' the mer-
chant was brought in, and after cal-
ling your Council some very ungen-
tlemanly names, said Council passed
motion to"pay bill in full against the
opposition of full charity committee.
I might say the first account was

different from the one passed, the
first being trimmed for lack of gall
in presenting. Only justification the
merchant advanced for account was
statement made by om• Chief Magis-
trate to the effect that the "sky was.
the limit" in amount ' char'ity clients
could receive, and bad three witnes-
ses to this effect. I had five or six
witnesses to the same effect, but
could not see as this had any bearing
on my ordering and paying charity
account being authorized and in-
structed by relief inspector.
Other subjects of controversy
and further reasons for my resigna-
tion which I am requested and niay
discuss at future date, are steam
heating town hall without authority
or even passing council, changing
lighting system not knowing any-
thing of manner of installation or
maintenance coats, or within one, two
1
or perhaps three thousand dollars of
costs to tax payers.
Disarming police officer when on
duty by head of property committee.
Blocking up o u r streets without
courtesy of consulting mayor or
council. Passing of meaningless dog,
cat, and other by-laws. Putting silly
advts. in paper (as in last week's
paper) supplementing well-known—
existing laws.
Would suggest to our lady taxpay-
ers that they enter the municipal field
and would be dead sure they could
not make a worse bungle than the
present one, also of our vote and sup -
part.
Our Council may be both a joke and
a laugh but when the costs for this
year alone will run ten, twelve,
or perhaps sixteen thousand dollars,
it seems rather an expensive joke.

Bill Watson occasionally gets fed up on
