Banker Rance now of Blyth was in Clinton on Sunday. The Clinton merchants *ire de- cided to close their •respective places of business at eight &clock each evening except Saturday' and the evening preceding a holiday. On Sunday morning about five o'- clock Mr. Harry East says he saw a flock of wild geese alight on Fair's pond. There were about forty in the flack but they soon arose and pro- ceeded on their way. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the tennis and cricket club was held in the Rattenbury House on Fridayevening last for the purpose of reorganization. Mr. M. D. Mc- Taggart •occupied the chair.

There is like- ly to be. quite a number of ladies' wheels used this season. Mr. J. McMurray has let the con- tract to Mr. S. S. Cooper for a Ger- man vestibule to the front of his house. It is of a very pretty design. The weather keeps exceedingly dry this season. Messrs. Hoover, Holloway and Pryor of town, A. Morrow, Chisholm and W. J. Martin od Wing - ham have placed orders this, week with left. G. Emerson for Ben Her becycles. He has aljto sold W. J. Sharp of the Fllullett dredge a Whit- worth, Jahn Harnwell of Varna, a • comet and one to Per. C. Brown of Blyth. A special meeting of the town council was held on Friday evening to consider the matter of street wat- ering, Mr. Jacob Miller agreed to water the streets as long as desired for $400 (hitherto they have been watered only four months for $300). The method of raising this amount was then thoroughly considered. A resolution that the town sheltie pay the whole amount was lost . .. A motion that the council should pay $200 and the merchants the balance was carried, and the work is being performed to the relief , of all who - were annoyed by the dust. `The debate on Women Suffrage, at the meeting elf the Young Liberals last Friday evening was quite inter- esting. Messes. 1K:oLeod and Elford advanced a number of reasons• in fav- our of giving women the - franchise, :&hide Messrs, : Brydone' and McTav- ish were equally sure that no bene- fit or advantage would accrue from such a course. Messrs. ;Scott and Coombs '• acted as judges and gave theft, decision in favor of the affirma- tive. A public meeting ,,will be held in the council chamber en Friday ev- ening to arrange for •sports for the ?14th and to say what disposition will be made of the mioney now in the hands of the committee. Following are the officers of the Lawn Bowling Club for this season: President, J. P. Tisdall; Vice, W'. Jackson; Secretary, W. Brydone; Treasurer, D. L. Macpherson. **'dl!

Yesterday evening while Frank McCaughey and Roy Grigg were en- joying a little derive around town the bit broke in the horse's mouth : 'and the bridle slipped off. ' The horse took to his heels and ran and the boys either jumped or were thrown from the rig, escaping with 'a. few slight bruises. The horse ran up the Huron Road a, piece and jumped a fence, then turned and ran home to the Commercial stables. The buggy was somewhat of a wreck. After twenty-eight years with the Standard elevator as employee, Mr. W. G. Smyth retired on Saturday last. , From ,he New Era, May tithe 1910: Quebec legislators are pressing for shorter hours for women and children working in factories. Don't be surprised if aeroplanes are as common in ten years as autos. At the quarterly meeting of the Ontario street church the pastor, Rev. T. Wesley Cosens, was extended a unanimous invitation to remain for another year and granted a month's holidays. Mr. L. Tyndall was ap- pointed a delegate so the District meeting. WHAT OTHER NEWS PAPERS 'ARE SAYING; CLINTON'S RELIEF BILL Clinton's Relief Bill for -1934 was $116. This locks like a record for towns. The Township of East Wawa - nosh has not yet spent one cent .on relief, which is a' recordthat cannot be beaten.--Wingham Advance -Times STOCKING THE LAKE - Three Trillionwhitefish fry from the .Government hatchery at, Sarnia were deposited in the lake outside Goderich on Thursday last The fish were dumped about a half -mile be- yond the breakwaters. The quantity , was one quarter of the amount put in the lake at Kincardine, Bayfield, Grand Bend and Goderieh-.•twelns trillion in all.—Goderich Signal. 1 dl431c 4* ONLY ONCE A YEAR Between the rather strenuous tasks of putting out the family garden and the odd job of beating the rugs, or helping along with this and that, the man of the household finds plenty bf real work to take the place, of 'the_ usual recreation period. A few sore arms and a stiff ,back is a very 'corn- et -Mil remnant from these: annual ex- ertions, and it seems the bigger the home and the more things in the home, 1th!erA bigger the job. Thank goodness it comes only once a year, and that is after the long winter's rest and. relaxation.:,Zurich Herald. 4i 414 } ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN Mr. Clarence MacDonald, foreman Of The Signal, was the victim of a • painful accident on Thursda.'after- T . noon last, when a heavy lead weight dropped on his foot. The block of metal, weighing more than thirty pounds, was jolted from the table at which he was working with a stap- ling machine. The lead cut through his shoe, inflicting a severe foot in- jury. He is still unable to walk. Goderich Signal. * fjt' THE WOMAN PAYS It is the woman who pays. At the Bt'uce assizes last week, . a young girl who threw her two -hour -old in- fant out of a window and caused its death was adjudged temporarily in- sane and held in custody at the pleas- ure of the authorities. She faced the ordeal alone the shame of carrying her burden, 'the giving ileirth to a child with na medical attendance, the mad moment when she decided to threw it out of the window, and then an appearance in court, a charge of murder, and now life-long shame wherever she is known. Where was the man in the case? It seems a parody of justice that while the girl carries all the disgrace, the man es- capes scot-free.—Hanaver Post. * * * GREAT LINEN STOCK Almost - a ton of fine linens came: into Gaderich last week, ,consigned mainly, to • Hibberts. This evidence of a belief inthe prospects of better business is an encouraging sign. More tourist trade is anticipated than Iast year and the linens are designed to catch the eyes of American -visit- ors, they being one-third cheaper here than in the United States. They are absci available far local purchasers. They are mainly from Brown's ware- houses but some come from China THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Oi— TOE AL° EL® BY "ETHERITE" • WA VES CANADIAN RADIO COMMISSION WILL BROADCAST FOR MORE THAN SEVEN CONTINUOU S HOURS DURING THE SILVER JUBILEE FESTIVITIES ON MAY 6TH For morethan seven continuous hours the Canadian Radia.

I1 is said that linen prices are to be raised considerably in the immediate future. —Goderich Star. * *, MEN'S WATCHES The other night we wree at a meet- ing that was supposed to start at eight o'clock. It was a small gather- ing of business and professional men who are prompt in keeping appoint- ments. About a dozen were there, and the pian who would be chairman loolf- ed at his watch and said 'it is twb minutes after eight o'clock, we had better vet started" Another man look- ed at his watch and said, `it is only two minutes to eight" Then every- one .looked at his watch, and no two of the dozen allowed the same time, and there was eight minutes differ- enee between the slowest and the fast- est, and oddly, the earrect time ap- peared to be midway between these two. It transpired that the watches cost all the way from ten to a hund- red dollars each and the lower priced ones were as near the correct 'time as the higher. Some had set their watches by the radio, others by the jewelers clocks. This instance, so far as watches and time, could be duplicated by any dozen men any- where, and if one's wabch is a minute er two fast or slow does not make much 'difference, as :long as one knows and allows for it, but it would be nice. if the watch movement makers would give us time piecesthat would be accurate,--•-Eincardine News. •lh' #i' IAF TAKING AWAY MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY It appears to many peoplethat the idea of centralizing the powers of government at Toronto is being ay. erdone.. It is in. the 'municipal field that citizens develop their political sense and it is in the same field ;that budding politicians get a training that later fits them far service at To- ronto and Ottawa. Every member practically that has repres$nted this riding in either the Federal or Pro- vincial House has first had this muni- cipal experience. But gradually town, township and county councils have been deprived of authority and still the centralization of control goes on. By a bill• before the legislature the municipalities are to be further con- trolled by a central power, the On tario Municipal Beard. If the bill becomes law, a - council will not be permitted to undertake any project involving the issuance of debentures without the sanction of the Board. This. is •but.another •step in central- ization which bit by bit is reducing municipal councils to a state of col- orless impotency. Melee and more is the 'citizen becoming a cipher in gov- ernment. Again the world-wide trend against democracy is reflected: —St. Marys Journay-Argus. REAL HEROINE IGNORED A recent news item reports an a daring ,crowd in a London,,,Eng'land railway station "sa busy mobbing a. group of returning film actresses that it completely :ignoredthe heroine of a real-life adventure ,Which would have shamed the most thrilling screen drama." A. 'modestly=dresseel lady missionary who had miraculously es- caped from Chinese brigands reached London an the same train as the film sitars. But little attention was paid to her for she was only a missionary. And we wonder why our children pre- fer to be movie actors rather than give their'Byte ;'n real service to man- kind.—Forest Standard. wal'1 be followed by. •brief addresses from the Acting .•Prime Minister. and from the leader of the opposition in parliament. After the presentation of Jubilee ,medals and the singing of a`massed choir, the march past will bring this, program to a close.. "Canada in 1935" Pram 11.00 to 12.30 p.m. the Coin - mission will broadcast a panoramic picture of Canadian - personalities, places and affairs: The program will be called "Canada in 1935" and will be of a spectacular, and unusual na- ture. George Taggart, Commission production chief, and his ,assistant, Horace Brown, have devised the mag- nanimous scheme whereby bands in the .provincial capitals of the Domin- ion will play musical selections sine ultaneouely. The bands will syn- chronize in. accordance with the time set by a key :metronome beating from Ottawa. Another unique feature will be the messages, from the Lieutenant - Governors of the nine provinces. Starting at Victoria, His Honour, S. W. Fordham Johnson, Lieutenant - Governor of British Columbia, will' deliver a short address and will per- sonally . introduce the Lieutenant - Governor of the neighbouring prov- ince, Alberta.

WiRNMESIMENOMMIMMIVIMORSIN it Is the unusual, "candid" picture that attracts atten- tion. "!"iANDI.D Photography." ,What h..+t 15 it? Just this. It is one of the most fascinating branches of amateur photography and fur- thermore is fast becoming one of the most popular sports with those who wish to glorify their snapshot collections with unusual, out -of -the - ordinary type of pictures. For excitement, candid photog- raphy hotography is a first cousin to big game hunting or deep-sea fishing but you need not go to the wilds of the Congo nor off the coast of Florida to stalk your quarry. You will find plenty cif material to shoot right in your old home town. • • You. may still say, "Well, what is this candid photography?" Can- -did photography is nothing more nor less than taking pictures of people when they are unaware that they are about to be "shot" so, there- fore, you catch them in natural, un- posed positions with natural expres- stens. It might be called "intimate photography—informal snapshots. The essence of candid photog- raphy is action. Get pictures of peo- ple doing things. Such pictures should be taken as close to the sub- ject as possible, for we are usually featuring people in this type of photography and they should be predominating in the picture. When we speak of snapping peo- ple in "action" or "doing something" it does not necessarily mean that the person should be actually on the move. An unusual picture of a person asleep may make a great ee candid camera picture. He is doing something. Don't thinly for one minute that candid photography means that you go around just shooting in a hit -and miss fashion. Any six-year-old child: can do that. If you want to really enjoy the thrills that come with can- did photography you will want to give it considerable thought. The modern miniature camera has been the leading factor in the• development and popularity of can- did photography. First of all, its size makes it less conspicuous than the camera using a 3:41x 414 or larger', film. It's ready for action on a mo- ment's notice, for with the majority; of makes the pressing of a button opens the camera ready for quick focusing. Where, when and how you take your candid snapshots depends al- most entirely on your equipment. I2 you are to be a real dyed-in-the-wool candid snapshooter you will shoot under conditions "as is" and not as you make them. There are many things to consider in this fascinating hobby of candid photography and it takes practice and patience if you want to get the fullest enjoyment out of it. Next week we will discuss personal and mechanical requirements for the candid enthusiasts.
