There are a lot of big city promoters who still believe that the rural areas are well filled with suckers. If you don't be- lieve it, just count up the number of "wholesale" catalogues you have received in the mail since the first of September. And these promoters must be right ... �r else they wouldn't waste the money requir- ed for printing and postage. These catalogues which pretend to of fer special bargains are, in fact, a pretty slick selling gimmick. In the first place there is the insinuation that the person who receives one of them is on some sort of preferred list, because of his member- ship in some organization or other. Then the books also pretend that wholesale pric- es are being offered, when, in reality, most of the figures quoted are about the same as those charged by our own local mer- chants. True, you can pick out a few well- known brands offered at reductions. These items are placed there purposely to con- vince potential buyers that everything on the list is equally a bargain. Many people who have been taken in by this particular method of selling have learned to their sorrow that the "whole- sale" concerns don't quite measure up to the highest standards. All too often the well known brands are Ilresh out" and the goods substituted do not compare in quality. When repairs or replacements are neeeded, the company is awfully hard to find. In fact, we have gone searching for one or two of these "Wholesale houses" and found that they are merely offices, and the companies involved do not carry any stock at all. Your order is filled out by purchases from other concerns after it ar- rives. There may be reliable companies am- ong those who are sending out the catalo- gues, but personally, we don't intend to make the expensive experiment of picking the sheep from the goats. We'll • stick to shopping locally — where we can see what we are buying. The Last Advertisement An imaginative writer has pictured the conditions which would exist after the last advertisement was printed. You have cut it out and put it away to show your grandchildren. With it, a way of living as you knew it, has passed forever. Tonight you will want to see a movie. Pull up to one—saw it last week. At an- other—but no, you don't like it. So-and- So's acting. Let's go home. is too much gas and time to waste on a show. Next month half of the threatres will close. Poor atten- dance. Tomorrow you will want some grocer- ies. You will go to the nearest grocery store and buy some. Rib roast perhaps, and lima beans. You won't hear until to- morrow night at the bridge table that the store just next door was having a "special" on rib roast and lima beans. Pretty soon your husband will wonder why the food bills are so high. The last advertisement was printed yesterday. Next month is Aunt Jane's birthday. Well if you think I'm going to spend a day tramping from store to store looking for a gift that I used to find by turning a page —can't afford gifts anyway. We're spen- ding money like water and living like poor folks... . Old car's wearing out. Can't afford a new one ... Chevies and fords are both $3,500 ... demand fallen off . . . they've had to up prices to meet plant-expenses.Most of the others have closed down . . . don't know how the government will feed all the new unemployment. Fellow in Montreal is inventing color television to sell for $50. No one will hear of it. You will never see it. What is col- our television anyway? The last advertise- ment was printed yesterday. Advertsing has brought us many things. Finnier cars, better homes, silly fads and wonderful inventions that have made life easier—and longer. Advertising is no unmired blessing. But it has helped give Canada a standard of living unmatched in any other place and time. That stand- ard of living should persist as long as peo- ple have wants to fill and money to spend and eyes to read with. It will persist only so long as the pres- ses keep rolling. That spells it out, doesn't it? How To Bowl Fivepins 44U4 From Pushaway To Follow Through A good howling delivery is made up of two parts—the pro- per footwork, and the proper movement of your hand and arm. The secret of good bowl- ing is to get your timing co- ordinated, so your feet, your arm. your body and the ballare all moving as a unit. No matter what type of ap- proach you use, the first thing to think about is starting the ball into motion. This is done by the "pushaway." If you make a mistake in timing this, the rest of your approach will be off too. When you start your delivery -move your hands first. You'll find your feet follow naturally. At the start, you should be holding the ball chest -high, in your right hand (if you are right-handed). The left hand may be just touching it, to steady it. As you step off, lift the ball slightly upwards as you push it out forward from your body. As your arm straightens, the By Bert Garside and Jim Hoult Chief Bowling Instructors Double Diamond Advisory Council ball will swing forward and downward in a natural arc, like a pendulum. Push the ball outwards firm- ly and smoothly. Don't be jer- ky, or too hurried. As your arm swings down, keep it in close to your body. If your back - swing doesn't go close to your body, your forward swing won't be close either. The closer your arm is to the side of your body, the straighter your ball will likely be. Keep Your Backswing Straight The pushaway starts the ball down into its arc. During the rest of your approach steps, it will be carried backwards in the backswing, then forward until it is released on your final step. Your backswing, to a large extent, determines how fast the ball will travel. The higher the backswing, the faster the ball goes. It should be just high enough to give you the speed you want. With too high a backswing, you'll find yourself losing con- trol of the ball, ancl your tim- ing will be upset. Too little backswing will also upset your timing, and force you to "drag" your ball through the forward swing by sheer arm strength. This will Mire you out, and also cause you to lose good control. If you let the ball curve in behind you during the back - swing, you'll end up tossing it out to the right when you de- liver If your backswing swerves out away from your body, you'll deliver the ball to the left side of the lane. On your forward swing, the ball is released just as it is starting to swing upwards from the bottom of its arc. You don't "throw" the ball—it just has a slight lift as it rolls off your fingers naturally. At this point, your forward foot, your arm and the ball should all be travelling in a straight line, aimed directly at the target. The Importance of Follow Through After you've released the ball, let your arum continue its natur- al forward motion. Your arm should come all the w a y through after delivery, until it is about shoulder level. Your hand should be outstretched, reaching for the target. A good follow through helps direct the ball to the spot you have your eye on. It is the key to good form, and good accuracy. If you get your follow through perfected, the natural result is to smooth out your forward swing, and eliminate many faul- ty habits. If your follow through is short, or abrupt, you will tend to pull the ball; or you drop it sooner than you should. The ball is released on the final step of your approach, which is ordinarily a slide. Your slide should be no longer than two feet. Too long a slide will lesson your control. The slide is really part of the final push you give the ball, and it smooths out your delivery. If you just took a normal step, and planted your foot in front of the fowl line without slid. ing, your body would perk to a stop, and the ball wouldn't be released with the same ac - 40 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1921 Mr. and Mrs. Alex Mousseau, who have been out west on a harvest excursion, returned to Zurich on Thursday last and re- port a very enjoyable trip. Mr. Josiah Surerus, of the Sauble Line, west of Zurich, had the misfortune last week of being kicked by a horse in the ankle and the face, but for- tunately there were rpo bones broken. He will be laid up for some time. Miss Eliza Robinson returned to her home in Stanley Town- ship this week, having finished her three years of training at Victoria Hospital, London. Mr. Nelson Blatchford has re- turned to his home in Hensall after spending ten weeks on the harvest excursion in the state of Dakota. Peter Frayne, of Exeter, a harness maker, is retiring from his trade, having last week sold his entire stock and equipment to Mr. Maurice Quance. Stanley Township council met last week, when they appointed Mr. Thomas Wiley as tax col- lector. He will not have to col- lect any tax money on his rou- nds, but instead the taxes niay be paid at the Sterling Banks in Varna and Bayfield, or the Mol - son's Bank in Brucefield or Zur- ich. Mr. Julius Block, of Zurich, has recently been sworn in as a County Constable for the Coun- ty of Huron. The appointment was made by Crown Attorney Seager, of Goderich. 0 25 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1936 The County of Huron has just accepted delivery of a new $9000 combination snowplow , truck and scraper. " It is a powerful machine, the latest in it's type of equipment. A few years ago the County Council annual pas- sed a resolution not to snow- plow it's roads in the winter months, holding it a waste of money, but there has been a re- versal of opinion in the past two years. The Town Line east gave a shivaree party last Thursday ev- ening to Mr. and Mrs. Alex Mc- Murtie, who arrived home after their wedding trip. On Friday last a painful ac- cident happened t o Arthur Thornhill, of London, who was one of the workmen engaged in tearing down the old hotel on Queen Street in Hensall. The work was nearing completion when he was tearing down the chimney and it fell on him cut- ting and bruising his leg. A pretty wedding was solem- nized in London last Saturday, when Selma C., youngest daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ra- der, of Dashwod, became the bride of Maurice Leroy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Klumpp of Dashwood. William Whitecombe, of Kip - pen, had the misfortune to have his leg broken above the ankle during the past week. He was i on a scaffold on the farm of i W. W. Cooper, when in some manner the scaffold gave way, allowing him to plunge to the i floor below. - OF ... YEARS GONE - BY - 15 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1946 Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Geromete- te and family, who have recen- tly moved from Detroit to the farm they purchased from Mr. August Koehler, north of Zur- ich, are getting nicely settled in their new home. A meetng in the interests of Girl Guides and Brownies was held in the Hensall Town Hall, and an association was formed with Mrs. Tom Lavender as chairman and -Mrs. Stewart Bell the secretary -treasurer. Mr. Dennis Corriveau has purchased the property of Mr. Glen Baker, south of Dashwood, and they hav"e moved into the house. Mr. Chris Andersen, who re- cently purchased a house near Crediton had it moved to his property west of Dashwood, known as the Morenz Flower Gardens. The largest attendance since 1933, nearly 1,560 people, at- tended the annual Bayfield Fall Fair last week. Confirmation rites were held in St. Boniface Church, Zurich, on Wednesday night, when Rt. Rev. J. C. Cody, associate Bish- op of London, presided. The members of the Health and Hospital committees of the Huron County Council, their wives and the County Nurses, entertained at the British Ex- change Hotel, Goderich, in hon- our of a member of their staff, Miss Mildred Haberer, of Zur- ich, whose marriage takes place the latter part of October. 0 10 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1951 About 300 members a n d friends sat down to the annual banquet of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in the Zurich Community Centre last Thursday evening. Reginald llsley was elected as president of the newly organiz- ed Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce on Monday even- ing, when the organization of- ficiallly received it's charter from Hugh Smith, of London, secretary -treasurer of the Lond- on organization, who has been instrumental in organizing the Zurich group. The Huron County bursaries for 1951 have been awarded the following students at the Univ- ersity of Western Ontario: Wil- liam Andrews, Clinton; Elmer Campbell, Hay Township; Shir- ley Campbell, Bluevale; Phyliss Dougall, Hensall, and John Wal- lace, Seaforth. Thomas Pryde, the member of parliament for Huron, was chosen to represent the riding at the coming election on Nov- ember 22. Mr. Pryde was the only person nominated for the position. A pretty wedding ceremony took place at the Hensall Uni- ted Church Manse, when Mur- iel Elaine Carlile became the bride of Glenn Lawrence Weido. One of the elder residents of Stanley Township passed away in Scott Memorial Hospital, Sea - forth, in the person of Mrs. Ag- nes Johnston, who was in her 90th year. Zurich Church Has Anniversary Members of the Evangelical UB Church, Zurich, observed curacy. Throughout your arm swing, keep your elbow straight. And, throughout your entire deliv- ery, keep your eyes pinned on the target, If you get part way through your delivery, and it doesn't feel right — stop, and start over again. Remember, the most impor- tant single factor in good bowl- ing is owl-ingis good timing. You must get your arm, your hand, your feet and: the ball moving easily and in rhythm. If the ball feels heavy, or is dragging, chanees are your timing is off. Practice delivering without the ball, un- til the motions feel right. Next: "Footwork Counts On the Approach." their 87th Anniversary on Sun- day, with morning and evening services. Guest speaker for the occasion was Rev. Arnold Ging- rich, of London. At the morning serivce Rev. Gingrich taught the adult Sun- day School class, and in the af- ternon he spoke at the McKillop Church. For his theme at the even- ing service, the guest speaker chose the topic, "Must we be- come cave dwellers?" The choir also rendered several numbers at this service. Large crowds attended both morning and evening, with a number of members of Dash- wood and Crediton churches present for the evening service. Rev. M. James, of Dashwood, of- fered prayer, and Rev. A. M. Schlenker, of Crediton, read the Scripture passage in the evert- ing. Both services were con- ducted by the pastor, Rev. A. M. Antacher. Some people would like to take all the fun, danger and ex- citement out of life. Quite a few of them are editors. They're worse than preachers—always scolding away at us about some- thing. If it isn't highway acci- dents, it's fire hazards, and if it isn't that, it's boating safety. They keep nagging at us to stay alive, but what we want is to live. They're at it again right now. They're rewriting last year's editorials about hunting accid- ents. It's the same old song. The only concession they make to novelty or variety is to stick a new title on it. Last year's warning was called Death Stalks the Woods. This year it might be Hunters Harvest Annual Crop, or something of the sort. a: * * I wonder who reads those edi- torials. I would lay a small bet that the only people who peruse them are the same ones who read and shake their heads over the editorials about highway ac- cidents, foolish fires and un- necessary drownings. I have a mental picture of this reader audience. • It is made up of gentle old ladies who have never learn- ed to drive a car, never smoked a cigar in bed, never ridden in anything faster than a rowboat, and never hunted anything wilder than a husband. This puts the editors in the same position as the preachers who blast away at sin on Sun- day morning to a handful of the faithhful, while all the sin- ners are at home in bed recov- ering from their Saturday night activities. a *: x: All I can say is that it ser- ves the editors right. They're trying to take all the thrill out of hunting,. It's a damp, dreary,, cold sport at best. The only elementin it that appeals to the man of spirit is the danger. And since there is little danger of being trampled to death by a SUGAR and SPICE By Biu Smiley rabbit, torn to bits by a par- tridge, or smashed to a bloody pulp by the charge of a wild duck, the hunter must get his kicks, in this country, from the constant awareness that there is probably another hun- ter drawing a bead on him at this very moment.. We used to satisfy our an- cient lust for blood with wars. But there's no fun in it any more, no man-to-man combat, nothing but a monotonous man- ipulation of slaughtering -mach- inery. As a result, the only way in which a man can assure him- self of his —physical endurance and courage, in this effete age, is to take to the woods in the fall and pit himself against the rest of the fellows in the red coats, every man for himself. Let's take a look at this hun- ter. He may look like a pot- bellied merchant, or a flabby school teacher, or a soft -jowled lawyer, but beneath that dis- guise lurks the adventurdr, the real fang -and -claw killer. * This killer has reverted about 4,000 years. That red - veined nose sniffs the air as cautiously as did that of his stalking ancestor. Behind those bifocals, piercing eyes sweep every inch of ground for a ran- ge of as much as a hundred feet. That's not really a shot- gun he's carrying, loaded, cock- ed and pointing at his left foot. It's a boar spear. He is keyed to an incredible pitch of pure, cold nerve. He senses danger and sudden death all about him, and he revels in it. Who can blame him when he hears the grunting cough of a lion, whirls in one grace- ful raceful movement, and fires a 30-30 into a cow with the heaves? Who can scorn him when he snaps off a beautiful 200 -yard shot at the white "flag" of a deer, strolls up to claim his quarry, and learns that he has just shot the cap off the hun- (continued on page 3) Business and Professional Directory AUCTIONEERS ALVIN WALPER PROVINCIAL LICENSED AUCTIONEER For your sale, large or small courteous and efficient service at all times.
