Hospital.
101-0 for Social Insurance
Adoption of the principle of social
insurance legislation in the House of
Commons was unique in its incidence.
Probably never before has Parliament
"divided" on a bill to find, when the
tally was made, that everyone had
voted for and none against. Thus the
measure's second reading was adopt-
ed by 101 to 0. Of course, the insist-
ence of the Government on a record-
ed division was dictated by the desire
of putting the Opposition on record.
This is a course which is usual when
they House opposed a measure,very
unusual when they have declared for
it. But, as the prime minister at the
outset of his .closing utterance indi-
cated, his purpose was to show that
Liberals at once approve opposition
to it—on the constitutional grounds—
while declaring that on principle, they
are for it,
ANYTHING ELSE BUT
A clergyman, travelling in a rail-
way compartment, had for company a
group of Navvies whose language was
hardly of the kind . that a reverend
gentlentan is supposed to hear.
One of them seemed to realize this
for, turning to the clergyman, he said
"You must excuse us, guv'nor, but,
yer knows, we're just plain-sipeakin'
blokes as antis calls a spade a spade."
"Is that so?" said the clergyman.
"I should have thought that would
have been about the last thing you
would call it."
ST. PAUL'S SOCIETIES
VERY ACTIVE
The ladies of St, Paul's Church
have been very active during the past
few weeks. On Thursday last a Val-
entine Tea was held at the Rectory
in aid of the Altar Guild, which was
well attended and a splendid collec-
tion 'received for this purpose, Prev-
ious to this the annual Donation, Tea,
wider the auspices of the Woman's
Auxiliary took place at the home of
Ivtrs. D. 1, Porter, when the donations
boon in cash arid material were most
generous, a goodly number of ladies
wore 'present and ,a delightful lunch
was served by the hostess.
On.Thtrsday of this week the reg-
ular
meeting of the W. A. will be held
at the home of Mrs, A. M. Bishop.
Y. P. S. APPQINT
MEMBER TO THE
CHURCH BOARD
The V.I'.S. of the United Church
had a splendid gathering at their reg-
ular meeting held ili the school room
on Monday evening( when Jack Herd
of the Sanhedrin Group, presented the
topic. The presid/nt, Miss Yvonne
McPherson, occup;edthe chair. A
request from the church board, to ap-
pointresentatrive from the a re p t ro soc-
iety, was filled by appointing Miss
McPherson. {
i
Following the reading of the min-
utes of last meeting, the Mariners
took charge for title Devotional per-
iod, with Miss Tena Reid, reading the
Scripture and Miss Roselle Gallagher
making the comments, after which
Miss Marion Simpson offered ;prayer.
The gathering was then favored with
a solo by Jack Reavie, accompanied
by Miss Tena Reid.
Many interesting points were em-
phasized by the speaker, Jack Herd;
who had chosen for his subject "What
does Christian Citizenship provide to-
day?" He stated that we must also
accept obligations as well as privileg-
es. A •Christian shbuld not hate .the
idea of giving up things, but should
measure his citizenship by the qual-
ity of his devotion; towards further-
ing Christ's work. In connection with
this subject, Wilbur Tiffin had pre-
pared a paper for .discussion, which
was read by Mr. Herd, and dealt with
"The Problems of Christian Citizens
and Solutions". Rev. Mr. Anderson
led in the discussion, stating that
many leaders offer.' no solution, as
Christian Citizens, tt%hat are we to do?
Referring to war, { we should talk
"peace". We should have an opinion
on social evils, greed and selfishness,
which lies at the root of the economic
troubles. Our opinions should be ex-
pressed. and circulated.
A short recreational period was
then provided by the Fidilis .grottp,
after which refreshments were serv-
ed, and the meeting brought to a close
by forming the Friendship circle and
repeating the benediction.
CAR ACCIDENT ON
LUCKNOW ROAD
Cars Met Head-on in Rutty Road.
About 5 o'clock Monday night, a
car driven by Harry Miller, United
Paper Mills traveller, and one driv-
en by Mr. A. P. Stewart, of Luck
now, met in a head-on collision a
short piece out of town on the Luck -
now road.
Ivlr, Miller was proceeding to
Wingham from Luck now and Mr.
Stewart was on itis way home from
Wingham, Mr. Miller came over the
first hill outside of town only to find
Mr, Stewart part way up the hill. The
ruts were so bad that neither could
pall out to avoid a collision so they
met head-on, .Had the cars been go-
ing at a fast speed the results no
doubt would have been serious. As
it was, no one, was injured, but.. the
cars were banged up.
1vlr. Miller's Ford V-8 had the
bumper smashed and both front fend-
ers bent, The gears were also put
out of commission, he only being able
to run in low gear to town. The Wil-
lys-Knight driven by Mr. Stewart did
not fare so well and was towed back
to town by Crawford's wrecking
truck, The steering bar and front
axle were bent, radiator pushed back
and broken, front bumper broken and
his fenders bent.
. Mr, Stewart had his wife and two,
other ladies as passengers and it was
lucky, they were not injured. Mr. Mill-
er was the lone occupant ofhis car,

HOBO KING
VISITS HERE
Charles !Pearce, Who Claims He Is
"King of the Hobos" Was Un-
invited Guest of Chief Allen.;
He must be King of the Hobos, be-
cause he admits it himself. He spent
Monday in town. Who is this queer
wanderer of the roads? Why ask? He
is the King of them all, his name is
Charles Pearce and he is known from
coast to coast.
If you saw a man outfitted with
brown pants, blue coat, and carrying
a brown leather old fashioned suit-
case,
uitcase, wandering about town on Mon-
day it was most likely Charles Pearce,
King of the Hobos. His chest is dec-
orated with medals, pins and what -
have -you, and he carries clippings of
newspapers from coast to coast which
tell of his wanderings.
This 65 -year-old man has been on
his aimless wanderings for 31 years,
and he has been in practically every
city, town and hamlet in Canada. His
sole• possessions be carries with him
and readily admits that a rolling
stone gathers no moss,
He has ambitions, however. He
wants to be Premier of Canada and
be say he will some day. In fact he
is going to get King George to re-
commend hirci. He says when he is,
Premier unemployment will cease and
that the under -dog will be the top -
dog. His election cry is "Equality
and Justice for the poor,"
He is a bit tired of his wanderings
and would settle down if the right
girl carne along but he says she must
have $10,000 to be his Queen. He
has had this idea for some time but
so far it is just an idea and he con-
tinues to pass along the road as has
been his hobo• way for the past 31
years.
He arrived in town Monday morn-
ing from • MytIt. Some kind person
from East W'awanosh gave him a lift.
His yarns are his fare and they are
interesting, well worth a ride from
Blyth to Wingham.
Charlie started out from Goderich
last May and decided to travel 10,000
miles in one year. So far he says he
has done 7,500 on this trip and ex-
pects to reach his objective. It is
hard on shoes, however, as he has
worn out 53 pairs of shoes in ,two
years. He makes money to buy shoes
by playing on the mouth organ and
bones. He also does the ocld dance
to his own music.
Tuesday morning he went on his
way once again. Galt, Kitchener, Hes-
.pler and Preston are to he visited this
week. Next week be says he will visit
—well he was not just sure, but he
will be travelling right along, still
looking for a Queen who posesses
$10,000.
What a life!

did she require .the attendance of a
physician. She had remained active
until her ,deatki and although. .nearly
blind for some time she continued to
knit incessantly. Her memory remain-
ed good and she could clearly recorant
the early history of Huron County

On her birthday, Mrs. Donaldson
attributed her longevity to a simple
diet with plenty of oatmeal porridge.
She was • born in Tipperary, Ire-
land, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jac-
ob Miller. When .two years of age,
with her parents she made what was
then a perilous trip to Canada, set-
tling on a farm in Goderich Town-
ship. Even today the old homestead,
on the 9th concession, is occupied by.
relatives of the founders, who came
out with a group of people to estab-
lish what was known as the Tipperary
Settlement.
She is survived by two sons, James
Donaldson, Goderich, and Charles
Donaldson, of Ottawa, formerly of
Wingham. There are four grand-
children. Mrs, Donaldson's two sis-
ters are Mrs. William Perdue, of Clin-
ton and Mrs. James Churchill, Brand -
don. Five brothers and four sisters
have passed away.
Burial took place in Bayfield Cem-
etery on Friday afternoon.

was placed on the horse to remove iJ

task proved a most .difficult one and
despite the efforts of the rescuers,.

to be near the horse passed out and
further efforts to remove the animal
were abandoned.
