DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING TOR LART DE-
CADE 01? THE OLD CENTURY?
From The News -Record, Fieleeth,
1895:
The annual meeting' of the Pet-
rone of Industry of Huron County
was held in the Clinton town hall
yesterday.
Mr. .Aikens lecture on South Af-
rica last Tuesday deserved a crowd-
ed house. re is peculiar that good
lectures are not more liberally pat-
ronized in Clinton. The . more in-
structive the smaller the audience,
stems to be the rule. 1
The ice harvest is on and Mr.
Joseph Allenson is making the best
of the time at bis disposal.
The monthly shoot on Monday for
the silver trophy resulted in, Richard
Grigg making the ;highest score, 22
points, and he will hold the cup for
a month. Charles Hale followed with
21 points.
Chief Wheatley and Weighmaster
Wlelsh treated the whole council to
an excellent oyster supper on Mora
day night at Coats' restaurant.
Mayor Holmes was present at the
Press. Association meeting in Toronto
last week.
The annual dinner of the officers oi'
the Ord Huron Battalion was held
at the Rattenbary House, Clinton, on
Friday evening. (Judging by the
menu those militia men knew a good
meal when they saw one, too.—Ed.)

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS 'ARE SAYING
•
A REMARKABLE CLAIM
So many unsupported statements
are made about hugeeconomies to
be derived from railway amalgama-
tion that they are becoming tire
some. The .latest rernarkable claim
appears in a pamphlet 'issued by the
Commercial Bureau of 'Canada Inc.,
which says "the unification of the
railways would eat the Interest dhar-
ges on the National Railway bonds
in half." If the Commercial Bureau
knows how this would be accomplish-
ed without repudiation, it is familiar
with • some tricks in finance it should
hasten to place at the disposal of
hard-pressed governments and muni
cipalities. So far as we are aware,
no other authority sponsoring amal-
gamation has attempted to put over
an argument like this.: None has en-
deavored to prove that existing in-
terest charges would be reduced at
all by the unification expedieney.
The Bureau offers amalgamation
as an economy which would assist in
abolition of the Dominion income war
tax. It is to be feared the tax is here
to stay if repeal of the act depends
,upon so insecure a foundation.

' BELIEVE IT OR 'N'OT
Mr- John A,. C:tnmingham, former
patrolman on the Walkerton-
Kincar-dine highway, thought last week that
the fates were against Ifim when on
going to his barnhefound a plump
Leghorn that had got waited in the
water -trough lying to all appearances
frozen stiff on the barn floor, with
the temperature without hovering a-
round the zero mark.
Believing that life • had long since
departed, but bent nevertheless on
thawing the bird out, Mr. Cunning-
ham 'threw it behind the cook stove
in the kitchen, where a wood fire was
cracking in the grate..,
Believe it or not, as Ripley would
say, but that bird came to, and to
demonstrate that it was no ingrate,
laid an egg, and then cackled vigor-
ously for the .boss to come and behold
"Business As Usual." Nothing that
he had lammed on the farm gave him
more satisfaction: than biddy's ,per-
formance on that occasion.

CAN'T SEE 'NEED
Several newspapers are advocating,
the election of municipal councillors
for a term; of two years. We fail to
see any necessity for the proposed
change. The electors' can re-elect a
good man, for as many terms as they
wish, 'and one year is quite long e-
nough for

A GOOD MOVE
The County Council in session last
week gave the Clerk and Treasurer
each a raise in salary -and we certain-
ly have no fault to find with, them
in this respect. These officials have
during their short term of office giv-
en the county efficient service and we
believe the Council used wise judg-
ment in recognizing this fact.
Efficient officials of any municipal-.
ity do much toward keeping our 'el-
ected members informed and up-to-
date in the problems they have at
hand. We believe that the County,
Clerk and Treasurer belong to this
category and are much pleased that,
their mamas have been recognized.

CLAUSE VERY UNFAIR,
Meaford is threatening to sue
Grey' county 'because of an agree-
ment whereiiy they apparently re-
nounced rebates on road expenditure
for all time. If this is what the a-
greement says, it not a fair one,
and the county should never have
sought to impose such a condition. It
didn't do so inthe case of other
towns, except Flesherton, and' these
two agreements might well lie amend-
ed. We are not familiar with law;
brut always; understood that' nothing
could be decided for all time to come.
That's a long time. However, we
would argue the case from, a com-
mon-sense viewpoint. The • purpose
of the agreement was that towns
would reonunce the rebates due them
from the county for road expendi-
tures until .such time as the rebates
covered the sum expended by the
county on pavements in towns and
villages. Meaford and Flesherton
councils may not have understood the
significance of the agreement when
they signed it, but the clause is
manifestly unfair and unjust, and
the county should never have put such
a • clause in the agreement and
should not now force this unfairness
on a member municipality.
—Hanover Post.
' WHY NOT CANADIAN
It is too bad that our politicians
do not seem disposed to rise to their
opportunities. Business and social
conditions for some years past have
indicated that a wide -reaching re-
form of our economic system is need-
ed. These indications have been
strengthened by the evidence piled,
up by the price -spread commission,
during the past year.
Premier Bennett has at last n•H-
mitted the necessity and pledged Ins!
Government to bring down the ae
cessary legislation to accomplish 'the'
desired end. Ma King, leader a£
the Opposition, has expressed him-
self in full -sympathy -with the pro-'
posais and pledged co-operation.
This is all very nice, but unfortun•
ately the people at home have seen
no signs of the promised brotherly
co-operation. The leaders on 'bath
Sides of the 'House seem -rather to
be sparring Ter time' in the hope of an
opening which will enable 'them to
slip over a knock -out on their oppon-
ents.
It is our opinion that the people
of Canada are not interested le the
fortunes of either •the Canseivative'
or Liberal party. "We don't want
a Tory 'Government. We don't want
a Grit Government. But we cer'tain.-
ly need a Canadian Government.

ADVERTISING FOR 'TENDERS
1 ILLEGAL
The Coitingwood Bulletin points
out that 0110 error for which munici-
pal councils occasionally fall is ad-
vertising the public positions by ten-
der. This is a distinct violation of
the Municipal Act, and, a contraven-
tion of good public policy. Doubt-
less the legislature, when passing
the Act had in mind the value„ and
importance of merit, ability and per-
manency as against cheapness and
inexperience, ' If so, it was a fair and
reasonable view.'

CHURCHES ARE NOW JUDGED
BY GMVINOS TO WORK OUT-
SIDE THE CONGREGATION
.This is the season of annual church
meetings, One often hears it said
that the reports of these meetings
indicate that' the success or failure
of the year is judged purely from, a
financial standpoint. To us, the crit-
icism appears : captious. Churches,
likeother organizations, have a
business, or financial side, and one•
meeting a year is devoted chiefly to
this aspect of their affairs. This is.
the annual meeting, The • churches
hold scores of meetings, during the
year to the spiritual teaching aspects
of their work.
It is noteworthy, however, in this
connection, that there is a change
in the attitude from which a church's
finances are judged. More and more
Christian people assess a church's fin-
ancial suecess,
nancial'suecess, not on the basis of the
amount raised and spent for its own
purposes, but. on the sum contributed

RESTORE THEIR LEGITIMATE
TASKS
There is talk of doing away with
County Councils because they have
not very nruch to do. The reason their
duties are not heavier is that their
work has been gradually- taken a-
way -from them and centralized at
Toronto. This remote control by pro-
vincial officials is an expensive way
of doing business and has added en-
ormously to the cost of government.
If more authority were given to mun-
icipal councils, it should be possible
to reduce enormously tine tot of pro-
vincial government.

Aad. Frank Johnston was, we :think
perfectly right in protesting against
the action of the board of control in
turning down ,a port Credit motor
firm's lowest tender on a motor truck
,because the firm putting' in the ten=
der did so :fvom outside *e 'eity lim-

Here has cropped up again the stu-
pid `avail -around Toronto idea." One
wonders what, if anything, those who
advocate this policy lcnaw about To-
ronto, how she lives and whence she
derives the eustenance drat enables
her to live..
These people say that when the city
has a contract tc'let she should let
it only to a firm within the city which
will employ city warners on the job,.
Theirpretense is that it is the °'in-
terests of labor they are concerned
with. They ought to know that To-
ronto manufactures for all Canada.
The work Toronto can give to her own
industries would not, keep them go-
ing for long. Our industries do man-
ufacturing for all Canada and a
great deal for foreign parts.
Toronto it selling goods within
the limits of every city and town in
Canada and Toronto will wither when
she ceases to do so. ,
All over 'Canada newspapers de-
scribe the ending of the beard of cons
trol against this Port Credit motor
truck tender as "the Toronto spirit."
It is not. Most people in Toronto dis-
agree with the action of the board of
control and regard it as narrow and
stupid, •

STUDY YOUR COMPOSITION
it is quite obvious that pictures
of groups of ,people, or animals,
such as the horses shown above,
should be taken with the camera
In a horizontal -position, while
arohes, high Waterfalls, etc.,
should be vertical
aaEWSPAPER cameramen are
somietimes sharply criticized by
those who consider photography as
an art, for various faults in compo
aition, lighting,. shadows, etc. These
critics may be right but they do not
stop to. consider that the news
cameraman must take lice picture
when he can get it and often on the
run. It's the picture of an individual
er action he is after and heaven
help him if he returns to his city
'editor and says, "Sorry chief, but
I didn't get that picture of themayor
being slugged. The sun was in the
wrong position, the shadows ter-
rible and the mayor was in an atro-
cious pose when he was struck".
Ooh! -- Shudder to think of what
would happento that cameraman!
There is one point, however, we
can all' learn from the news camera-
man and profit by it in taking more
interesting pictures. It is this. In -
elude only the principal subje.ot in
a picture. In other words, if yo'u are
taking a picture. of an individual or
a group, focus the lens an the prin-
cipal subject and forget about the
sharpness of the background or the
surrounding scenery, building, or
whatever it may be, unless the back-
ground is of some importance and is
part of the story,.
If you are taking a landscape pic-
ture determine before you "shoot"
the most attractive view and concen-
trate your focusing on that spot.
Two pietures showing two well com-
posed and attractive scenes are
worth many snapshots with innu-
merable points of possible interest.
Then there is the shape of the pic-
ture to consider. Plitt of all this is
controlled by the way the camera is
held -+-vertically or horizontally.
A high waterfall for instance, or
single Sgure'standing In a high dotal
way, obviously should be taken with
the camera in a vertical posltloe,
while, on the other hand, a ,land-
scape, a herd; of cattle or a scattered
group of people should be snapped,
with the camera held horizontally.
Although the right camera oasis
tion has been chosen, trimming may;
be advisable to cutout unattractive
or unnecessary details which were'.
not noticed in the fender when tare.'
picture was taken. This can be done
by masking the film when it is.
printed to eliminate too much sky
or objects at either side of the pic-
ture that may distract the attention:
from the view you had in mind at.
the time you took. the picture. Oo-
casionally, it is, advisable to trim
away the background altogether and•
mount the principal subject as a
cut-out on the album page.
Ovals, circles and .panels are
shapes which suit various types of
subjects, circle's making attractive
frames for portraits. The size of the,
circle and its position with regard
to the head must be left to individu-
al taste, but where the head Is not
shown in full front view, more space
should be left on the side toward
which the face is turned.
Trimming will often enable it
drastic -change to be made in the
composition of a picture. Trimming
the print at top and bottom to make
a long, narrow, horizontal panel is
often very .effectiye, If you are not
quite satisfied with your print use,
four pieces of paper as a mask and
you will readily see if trimming
will make a great improvement,
Try it,
