WARDEN "GAINED" At the closing session of the Hu - 1'011 County Council last week War- den George H. .Elliott, Clinton's reeve, was made the recipient of an a 1'e i ' pP c atrve address and agold-head- ed' cane, suitably engraved. This presentation was made by Mr. J. W. Gamble, and the following address .was read by Mr. Jahn McNabb: "Dear Mr. Elliott: --The time has come when we as a County Council must disband and as a consequence we Must sever our relationship as' Warden and Council. During your term of office, as Warden of Huron County, you have performed your duties in a straight- forward and businesslike manner' and have shown a tact and judgment in the administration of the affairs of the County, which together with a genial'•and courteous manner, has not only won a warm spotin our hearts, but has reacted inthe best interest of the County. In presenting this cane, as a tok- en of our esteen, we believe we can.. not better express ourselves than in the following verse dedicated to you: `Dear .George is so witty and smart, He has won his way to our heart, So presenting this cane is really a pain; As we hate with our Warden to part. Assurin you, y u, Mr. Warden, of our high appreciation of your services as Councillor and Warden we join together in extending our very best wishes for the future. Signed on ;behalf of the Members of Huron County 'Council for the year 1934. -4. W, Gamble, John McNabb." The following tnotion, moved by Reeves Wright and Demmerling, was also put and carried, proving that Mr. Elliott's abilities were duly appreciated in Huron County's Par- liament: "That The County Council recom- mend the return of Warden Elliott as Reeve for 1935 as we consider the Warden to be a benefit to the County Council, owing to his experience,' and that a copy of this motion be sent to the Clerk of Clinton." We shall not know until after the nomination svhether we shall have an opportunity of sending . Mr. El- liott back. He is not yet sure whatt he'll do. But he will probably re- present the town', in some capacity. FORMER RECTORS HONOURED On Monday evening a beautiful chapel was dedicated at St. James' Anglican church, Stratford, in hon- our of two former -rectors, the late Most Reverend David Williams, Bis- hop of Huron, and the late Rev. Can- on W. T. Chuff, a brother of the late R. J. Chuff of Clinton and an old Goderich township boy. A GOOD YEAR Warden Elliottt is pardonably proud of the achievements of the County Council during the past year, achievements for which he does not by any means take all the credit, as he gives ample credit to all who as- sisted in bringing then about, and he especially praises the faithful and excellent work of the clerk and treasurer and other, officials, But he and they worked toward this end and were pleased to announce- that the expenses of the, year were .con siderably reduced and a great deal of money outlying here and ther was gathered in, so that a carry-ove of 360,000 was paid off and a nie surplus of about $5,000 will rental at the end of the year. That i certainly an accomplishment of which to be proud. r e 3n s RAPT IST CHURCH BAZAAR A successful bazaar was held in the council chamber on Friday after- noon by the ladies of the Baptist church., The 'Home baking booth, which is always popular, was in charge of Mrs, W. Cochrane, who had efficient helpers; Mrs: R. H. Johnston had charge of aprons and other fancy and useful articles; Mn. G. W. Sherman looked after the can- dy booth while Mrs. J. Butler was in charge of the kitchen booth. All had several helpers. All the tables were quite hand- somely decorated and while selling almost every article offered, they al- so sold some of the decorations, same of the evergreens being purchased for Christmas trees. The ladies were very well pleased with the results of their efforts. BAND CONCERT POSTPONED The town band had intended, as has been their kindly custom for sev- eral years past, to• put on a concert before Christmas for a Christmas Cheer Fund for distribution to any in the town who would otherwise not have so cheery a Christmas, and Sun- day evening after the church services was chosen as the date. This was announced last Sunday and Leader Morgan Agnew has his program all made out, and a good one, too, it is said, but unfortunately he is rather under the weather this week and as the members of the band do not feel capable of carrying off a concert without him and as he is afraid he will not be u to thetask of leading p them on the date fixed, it has been decided to postpone the concert, which will be put on later. In the meantime the committee In charge of Welfare work, Councillor Walker, chairman, will do what they think best under the circumstances, but we feel sure that the True Spirit of Christmas will be the guiding spirit of the committee in this case. Anyone wishing to make a contribu- tion toward this good end might hand same to Chief Stone., It is to be hoped Mr. Agnew will have a speedy recovery. NEW SONGS FOR CHILDREN Tite Guelph Mercury last week published the following about a little song book recently published by Mrs. Ward, formerly Miss Lila Hoover of Clinton, and her daughter, Ruth. Oid friends here will be interested in this little song book, which is indeed, a dainty and charming production: "A Teddy Bear in kilts stepping out smartly to the music which he himself is playing on the drum makes an attractive cover design for one, of the cleverest and most amusing song books for ohildren that it has been the good fortune to come across in some time. The booklet is called Zoo Songs -To Play and to Sing --and has been done by Lela and Ruth Ward. There are six songs, The Lion, The Bear, The. Monkey, The Leopard and the Hippopotamus, and each is illustrated. But that creates no -idea of the real quality of the book. The illustrations' are darling and just what a child delights in; a lion cry- ing, a bear fanning hitnself, and a hippopotamus on roller skates are among them. These were done, by Ruth Ward. Mrs. Ward has created The New Era Est. 046& THE HOME PA 5 A PLEASING. PROGRAM, Aficr the regular meeting .of the I. 00.F. on .Tuesday night a program was put on consisting• of readings, stories, and singing Bros. Cooper and Lodge taking part, and also a couple. of selections on the bag pipes by Bro. Fred Mutch, with little Bobby Morgan as drummer. Bobby was ex- ceptionally good fora little fellow. G. H. Jefferson Was chairman. A SISTER PASSES Mrs. William Lasham, a. former resident of Goderich, died in Los Angeles, Cal_, last week and the re- mains were brought to Goderich for burial, the funeral taking place on Tuesday. Mrs, Lasham, who was eighty-five years of age, was a sis- ter of Mrs, Ann McCool of Clinton. She was formerly of Goderich town- ship, her parents, the late Mr, and Mrs. John Collinson, moving to that township when she'was about ten years of age. Her husband died a- bout twenty-five years ago. HAS RETURNED TO IRELAND Rev. S. E. Melfegney, M.A., for- merly rector of St. Paul's Anglican church, Clinton, and late of St. Mat- thew's church, London, was recently appointed rector of Mount Rath, Lie, Queen's County, Ireland, and is al- ready in his new post, having been inducted into his new parish, which is in the Diocese of Cashel, at a service at which Rt. Rev, Dr. Day, Bishop of Ossory, was the preacher, A graduate of Huron College, Mr. McKegney took his Master of Arts degree at Oxford. He has been in charge of a number of parishes, in- cluding St. Mark's, ParkdaIe, Clinton, St. John's, Loudon Township, and St. Matthew's in the Diocese of Huron, and also held an appointment at Hu- ron Coiiege. He served overseas as a chaplain in the Great War. He will be remembered by many here, who will wish him success and happiness on his return to his native land. Rev, E. WtMcKegney, of Sarnia, is a brother. LITTLE LOCALS A couple of deer were seen on the base line the other day. Here it is Dec. 13th, and tomor- row, Friday, is the last day for pay- ing the last instalment of town taxes, Clinton rink opened for skating Tuesday night, although the hockey boys had been trying it out the ev- ening before. The News -Record calendars for 1935 are now ready and those pay- ing their subscription in advance is entitled to one. Master Billy, winsome small son of • Dr..and Mrs, Hearn, who has been seriously 111, is now improving, their friends are glad to ]snow. The total amount in the Penny Bank to the ecredit of Clinton Public school children at the end of Octo- ber, 1934 was 31,386.19, as compar- ed with 31,345.17 in 1983. Fifty- three percent. of the pupils have say- ings deposited. • The Girls' Club of The Presbyter- ian church had a Iittle bazaar and tea in the Sunday school room of the church on Saturday afternoon, when they had a number of articles for sale and also served 'tea to all who came. They added a nice little sum to their treasury as a result. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS Municipal affairs are becoming rather warmer but so far as we can make out at time of writing we shall have to wait until nomination day to know who is going to stand for the several posts. Mayor Trewartha announced at the last meeting of council that he would not bea candidate. Two names are being prominently mentioned for the position, Reeve Elliott and Council- lor W. S. R. Holmes. Neither has declared definitely and it is unlikely that these two gentlemen will . oppose each other. Several names are being mention- ed for the reeveship, Elliott, who was elected by acclamation last year and; who was honoured by being given the wardenship, Councillors Holmes, Ink - ley and Livermore, while it may be that Mr. Churchill will come out a- gain, And ane citizen suggests that Mayor Trewartha would be welcomed n his old position as reeve if he ould come. back. Mr. Holmes' name is also mention- edfor the P. U. Commission. As for councillors, well, it is to be hoped enough good men may offer sc that Clinton will have no difficulty in choosing a strong and able council for 1933. If' we have several new in- dustries coming here we shall need a keen and wide awake council to deal with the several questions which are sure to turn up from time to time. words and music that tell the story W of the drawings. They are simple little four -lined verses, very amus- ing, and with catchy, charming little' tunes, suitable to children . : . It is a novelty to children,. . It is a novelty that will please adults as well as chit- dren, The Leopard says `I'd like to eat my keeper man, But that's quite out of question, I'm, not afraid of bieing spanked, But just of indiges- tion!" C. I. BOARD MEETS The Collegiate Institute board met Monday evening, members present being Chairman Col II. T. Rance and Messrs. Cooper, Fingland, Col. Combe and Dr, Thompson, , Principal Fines was also present. There was little business before the board. Messrs. Fingland ' and Thompson moved that the amount of the cadet grant be handed over to Principal Fines to be used for cadet work. The same two members moved the payment of the following accounts: Sutter and Perdue, 333.46; W, D. Fair Co., 822.25; C. V. Cooke, 82.25; D A. McKay, 32.50; R, Cree, $13.70; R, W.

The appointment willbe effective from January 1, 1935, Bishop Seager stated. In announcing the appoint- ment to the important post of bishop said: "Canon Jeakins has had a long and successful career in the Diocese of Huron. He has been active not only in the service of the parishes where he was rector but also in the general work of the church, particularly through the general synod.
