M. 141ONTEITH, Manager Londesborough (Sub -Agency): Open Monday. and Thursday THE' CLINTON NEWS -RECORD OF INTEREST . TO YOU. AND ME But when all's said and done about -these chain letters, those who are fooled into thinking that they can grow wealthy by writing a few let- ters and sending somebody some- where a ten cent piece, would be bet- ter employed saving their postage to write to members of their family who ' 'would appreciate news from them. El El 0 What is all this nonsense about ' winning' prosperity through chaiu let- - tors? If nobody pays out more than -ten cents when it ends wouldn't ev- •eryone be left with their original ten cent piece, or ' another of equal val-. ue? If any number of people each paid an equal sum of money into a pat and any one of then. got more out of it than he put in would it not mean that someone, or a number of people, wouldn't get anything? Ten Cent piece's.. do:'not multiply just by travelling "through the mails. O d m Then the postal authorities do not seem to approve of this chain letter business and are said . to be putting a damper upon it by watching the mails and confiscating the letters ore taining these ten cent pieces. 'What right, however, has the postal authorities to take a letter out of the office and send to the dead letter office unless it cannot be delivered to the party to whom it is addressed? Any letter which, is under suspicion • could be handed to the addressee by •an official and a demand made that it be opened before hits, but certain- :Iy neither. the Government on anyone else has any right to tamper with the snail of the free citizens of this free young country. d M Gl The Hon. David A Croll, Minister of Public Wlelfare, makes the stag gestion that the first anniversary of the birth of the Dionne quintette -of sisters be celebrated by the adoption of homeless, children by 'those who • •can give them homes' and love. It is an excellent idea and it is to be hop- ed that it will he acted upon by as' many as Dan see their way to do it. ' There are in the Shelter in Goderich a number of children; of various ages who are ready for adoption. They' are, so say those' who have seen - them and know them, attractive chit= dren who would bless the home into - whish they might be taken. We have all known adopted children who have. been a blessing and a praise tothe homes into which they come, •and who in turn were blessed in • their parents. There are ' many; 'worthwhile things in life to which we may turn our hand, but there is no task, no accomplishment as worth- while as that of helping and blessing ' the life of another human being, and • when that person is a child or a Young person to whom one can bring • assistance in the building of char- - atter and the choosing and the plan- • ning of a lite work, so much, the better. M El •Goderich township got into • "the news" this week by a•despatch to the -daily papers Monday that its taxes had been an paid up and had been • each year for eighty-five years. It is • certainly something to brag. about,. •• especially' in this time of depression, when so many municipalities are -go- :it-Lg. bankrupt. 1llonday'is Globe had the following on its editorial, page: `fResidents of other districts of nti- tario have long' professed to detect--. and.resent--a eertai:, smugness and. 1 self=eompliieeney amndhg"the people of Hui'gn,';Biicearid"•Grey Counties. A'•'nuttilsbrxof` e`xplanation's for this apparent asanlmprt'on , of duperioty " have' been ac y'anced, ,among 'them . a "theor'.:based on'the-httuttil'sym ash which persons' of Scots origin feel for those of less favored lineage. But additional evidence is provided in "-a despatch yesterday from Gode- rich, in which Harry. Salkeld, Treas- urer of Goderich Township;. announc- es that for the eighty-fifth consecu- tive year all resident taxes of that township' have, been paid up 100 per Dent. Surely that alone ought to justify. an expression of self-satisfaction up- on the faces of the residents of at least one township of Huron County for the next year. They have been through the depression, like the farm- ers of every other part of the Pro- vince; they have worked dayarid night for five years to grow produce for which they received a pittance. But they have kept intact their record of fourscore years and five—their taxes are paid up." fE ID C1 Mr. and Mrs, Dionne, parents of the famous quintuplets, "called the` bluff" of .Minister of Public Welfare Cron by applying to adopt their own little daughters, who have been made wards of the' Province. The sympathy of the great major- ity of people is with these parents, for, after all, the children do belong to them and nsuallt parents can be trusted to do the best for their own children, and, unless they are such Barents as disregard the welfare of their children and are bringing thein up in a home unfit for them or neg- lecting them altogether, the state does not interfere. However, this is an exceptional case. Ordinarily parents are left to take the care and responsibility of their children without interference from either: the government or the general public, much less interfer- ence from people in far removed parts of the country er from a for- eign country. •In this case_ the chil- dren hildren were only a -few days old, or was it hours? before strangers who wished to make Money out of . thein as curiosities, were rushing in to get control or them. • No .parents were ever submitted ' to such pres- sure in regard to their children. They would need'to•be of exceptional cali- brate withstand the arguments and inducenients -which were brought to -bear upon them. They were. not, evidently, strong enough to with- stand it alone, so the government stepped in, not for any gain or glory for itself, but as a safeguard to the children, and it says: "No. These children must be allowed to grow in- to strong and healthy. children before they will be allowed to be exploited just to make money for anybody, even the parents." Surely that is reas- enable. No one but will admit that D. Dafoe's interest in "thesd little sisters is altogether unselfish. The father of the children • has no wish but for the welfare of, his offspring, unless his judgment is unduly influ- enced by 'outsiders, who are using every influence, apparently. But if it is a wise.'thing to keep these little tots healthy and to allow then' to grow up normally, then it is a.wise thing the government has done to ensure this. It ought to he possible, however, for the parents to see the children constantly, to associate with them - so that they would know their • par- ents and learn to love thein, other- wise their lives will .not be normal. The mother eonap1aains that they do not know her and that is something that can and Should be remedied: But what the parents• should' have wit e- nough to realize is that' if they gave their children' for foreign exploiters,; whose chief, whose • only, : aini ,would be to make money ler 'fthemselves, they would have a good 'deal'less' to do with them thap they can have at ;present t: BIRTHS B.OYD- 10n Friday, May 10th, 'in Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Boyd, a daughter.

Clinton. CANADA USES MORE TELEPHONES;. More telephone calls are made by Canadians than by the people of any other country. • The latest figures, compiled from cfficial'sourcee bty the Bell System as of January 1,. 1934, shows that 214 telephone conversations were held in Canada for every pian, woman and childin this Dominion. This record is approached only by the United States where the compar- able figure for the year was 1914. It is a matter of interest that Den - metric with 158.7 and Sweden with •1374 conversations per capita were next in the line among the •largest telephone -using countries of the world, Canada's outstanding telephone de- yelopment in the larger centres is a feature of the statistics presented in. this world-wide telephone survey. With 19.33 telephones per 100 'popu- lation in communities of 504)00 and more, Canada ranks second to Swe- den which has a comparable develop- ment of 22.59 telephones. Denmark is third with 19.24 aiid is followed, in order, by Norway, 18.88; Switzer- land, 18.82 and the United States in sixth, position with 18.54 telephones per hundred inhabitants' in the larger cities. Canada ranks high •also in tele- phones in the smaller communities. With 7.43 per 100 population in tom mutities of less than 50,000 popula- tion, this Dominion is led by the Uni- ted States with 9.76 and New Zea- land with 9.29 telephones in these less peopled areas. On the basis of development through the whole population, United States is first with 13.29 telephones per hundred people, Canada second with 11.15 followed by Nea Zealand, 10.01; Denmark, 9.99; Sweden, 9.51 and Switzerland, 8.81. Great Britain comes ninth, with 4.78. These latest .statistics slake it Clear that Canadians' continue as they have done for many years to place a very high value upon their • tele- phones as indicated in the fact of their being the world's leaders in the use of the service.
