PRESENTATION -
To Mr. and Mrs. L. Batkin
A very pleasant evening,was spent
at the home of Mi'. and Mrs: Lloyd
Batkin, south of town, last Friday'ev-
ening•, when a large number of friends
gathered at their home, and present-
ed them • 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-
dall,
"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 viewof remembering this hap-
py occasion, •>
Without more delay, or any persuas-
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 madeto talk.
I'll give you just this little hunch,
The Clock is 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 morn.
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 corning
years;
Let love radiate from home and
hearth,
For love is the greatest thing on
earth."
The groom made a very suitable re-
ply thanking the guests for the lovely
gift.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in contests, songs, readings, etc.,
after which a dainty lunch was served.

always obliging and ready to help
where inept, was needed and will be
much missed by the community and
a large circle of friends; He had been
a resident of Varna for over 30 years..

wife, formerly Miss Alice Seeley,

Floyd Schell, Detroit, and Mary at
home. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. Mr. Peters, the service at the
home being private, followed by ser-
vice in the United Church. Two
favorite hymns were sung "Abide with
me," and "Oh for a faith that will
nit shr:nlc." Those from a distance

Sensibie note Decorating
In muse families the matter of
home decoration is 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 -tale element!
A room filled with soft frilly ruf-
fles is dainty and lady -like, but it is
hardly -a room to make 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 Radical equipment.
Funds for redecorating and mod-
ernizing the home are now available
under the Home Improvement Plan.
Letters to. the Editor
A NEW VIEWPOINT
Dear Editor:—A unique feature its
the recent election campaign was a
fact brought out clearly viz, that, on
Uc:tober 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-anci-out temperance
candidate was so uncertain that it
were betiter once more^to vote for
the °Id party candidate, especially
when, at the last moment, some hope-
ful readjustment of the temperance
issue was offered,
These have, however, not forgotten
how far 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 thin]: they
have again dealt as another knock-
out blow, which will keep us sleep-
ing, at least, until another election,
but in this they reckon wrongly for
the Temperance people of Enron are
stirred as never before to 'strike at
the subtle ltythoni 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 casual-
ties who are already numbered by
hundreds if not thousands. The
great outstanding trod is for a.gov-
ernment 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 anal the distances too
great. As an appreciation of the
confidence placed in me by so many
of the temperance electors of Huron,
I purp,cso 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 regarding the
latest 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 fol' the treatment and reha-
bilitation of the many unfortunates
for whom the habit has already be-
come.a disease, and, who aro of 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 thoughtit best just now
to vote otherwise, but who will joh,
with- us enthusiastically in furthering
this present , great need..
In the meantime to you, Mr. Edi-
tor, and electors of Huron, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
ALEXANDER MOIR.

Explanation r e to y resignation

to (made ripen request).
Direct >cause 'was inregard to an
account presentee] to charity commit-
tee by one of our merchants. There
was noadmittance either by voucher,
or order'i'or same, and when present-
ed •to council was thrown out and re-
fused payment. I explained and told
said merchant that we would net pay
account, being directed to do so by
Council.
Next meeting of Council the mer-
chant wasbrought 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 our Chief Magis-
trate to the effect that the "sky was.
the limit" in amount charity 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 —
ancl further reasons for my resigna-
tion which I am requested and may
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
'Or perhaps three thousand dollars of
costs to tax payers.
Disarming police officer when on
duty by ]read of property committee.
Blocking up our 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 la}vs.
Would suggest to. our Iady 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-
port.
Otir 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.

Th1sis just like being home!
Bill Watson occasionallygets fed up on

His pals are dull. Meals are tasteless. The

fashioned homesickness, that's what it
really is and Bill has a sovereign.
remedy, once he has diagnosed the case:'
a long distance call home. And it costs
so little, too, that he has decided to fore-
stall attacks by a regular schedule of
weekly calls.,
Bill's ideas are right in line with the rest of the
family. The Watson have conte to appreciate
fully the comforts, conveniences and low cost of
