SHop At Home
In a little better than one month,
Christmas will once again be upon us. It
seems like only yesterday members of the
family gathered around the traditional fir
tree, eager to tear open their own individ-
ual gifts and find out what was behind the
fancy wrapping.
This is the time of year when Christ-
mas shoppers take time to ponder over
their gift list in bewilderment—trying to
decide what to buy for their various friends
and relatives.
Shoppers need not be reminded that
they can find everything they require right
here in their own home town . . . quality
merchandise at prices to please their pocket
book. They should also bear in mind that
the local merchant is also a local taxpayer,
It is this same fellow who supports your
local churches and schools. Again, it is
the local merchant who is called upon
when donations are needed for any cause.
In turn for all this, he must depend on
your business to keep operating.
Local stores are stocked with Christ-
mas goods, winter articles and sales staff
to give you the kind of service found
only in one location ... right here in your
home town. By shopping at hone you are
keeping your dollars in circulation locally,
and will be doing your civic best to boost
your home town.
Support your community — shop at
home.
There's One At Every Meeting
The Explode -at -the -Door -Man
He sits quietly through the meeting as
if everything were to his liking. Ask him
to voice his views to the meeting and his
knees would fold. But later at the door he
boils over. You hear him say, as he rounds
up a few discontented members, "And ano-
ther thing I didn't like .. ."
The Confused Listener
He tries to be helpful but can't follow
the proceedings. He rises to say there's a
motion before the house; and has to be
told it was rejected half -an -hour ago. He
has a habit of sitting in the last row and
complaining he can't hear. Throughout he
carries an outraged attitude of "why don't
people tell me these things?"
The Professional Seconder
He never thinks up an idea, and is so
overwhelmed when someone else does, that
he comes in with a loud "seconded". Any
nonsensical scheme any one can think up
gets his nod. He then settles back to enjoy
the confusion, or dozes until time for him
to chime in with another second.
The Hair-splitter
Not an intentional obstructionist, he's
determined to see fair play which he de-
fines as "knowing exactly what we're lett-
ing ourselves in for." Every word has to
be tested — he's even likely to challenge
the chairman's opening "Good evening."
By 10 p.m. you are just about agreed on
the agenda for the evening when he begs
the chairman's indulgence. He has a pre-
ious engagement and "had no idea the
meeting would drag on so long."
The Willing Voter
He takes little part in business but
votes in a loud voice. He is always eager
to swell the vote of the prevailing side. A
dangerous yes man.
The Stay -at -Home
Meetings bore him. He has his own
way of wasting time. Besides he doesn't
want to feel responsible for anything that
happens. The blood is not on his hands if
he didn't go to the meeting.
The "We -Always -Do -t -This -Way" Member
He is a traditionalist, forever looking
over his shoulder. The old way is the only
way. If a change of any kind is suggested,
or a new idea brought forth, he fears it's
the beginning of the road to ruin.'
Good Old Days
Are you overworked? Tired? Is your
job getting you down? Cheer up! Here is a
well-known set of instructions issued in
1870 by a store -owner to his employees:
1. Store will be open at seven A.M. and
close at eight P.M.; except on Saturday
when it closes at nine P.M.
2. Employees will sweep floor, dust furni-
ture, shelves and showcases. Trim
wicks, fill lamps, clean chimneys.
3. Open windows for fresh air. Make your
pens carefully. You may whittle the
quills to suit your individual taste.
4. Each clerk shall bring in a bucket of
water and a scuttle of coal for the day's
W€L
ror him, for her, the

business.
5. Any employee who smokes cigars, uses
liquor in any form, gets shaved at the
barbershop or frequents public dance
halls, will give his employer reason to
suspect his integrity, worthy intentions
and all-around honesty.
Did the harassed clerks ever relax?
Yes, indeed! The boss' instructions
went on to say that:
6. Men employees will be given one
evening off each week for courting
purposes, or two evenings off each
week if they go regularly to church.

Mr. Albert Hendrick has
purchased the 12 acre farm on
the Sauble Line, Hay Township,
from Mr. John H. Taylor, who
recently moved to Brucefield,
where he purchased a farm.
Mr. Thomas McMillan, the
Liberal standardbearer for Hu-
ron County, is holding public
meetings at all the surround-
ing villages, prior to the fed-
eral election which will take
place next week.
Quite a number of the vill-
agers in Hensall are having
electric lights installed in their
homes, and many others will
soon follow the trend to this
modern service
After 48 years of separation
Huron and Knox Presbyterian
Churches have decided to wor-
ship under one roof again. This
decision was reached on Tues-
day night, at separate meetings
of the congregations. The pas-
tors are to resign and are given
a bonus of $1,000 each.
Thomas Yearley, of Crediton,
who was recently shot in the
leg, is now able to be out again
with the aid of crutches.
Colin Campbell, of Stanley
Township, beat all records on
heavy hogs, having shipped one
to Toronto last week weighing
752 pounds.

DECEEMBER 1936
The village of Hensall will
have an election, with Owen
Geiger and R. E. Shaddick op-
posing each other as reeve of
the municipality. Six men are
contesting the four seats on
the council.
Michael Meidinger and Ju-
lius Thiel, of Zurich, have been
spending some time in London,
working at their masonry trade,
Milton Deitz, a garageman
in the village of Zurich, had
the misfortune to break his
arm at the wrist while crank-
ing a car.
An order in council has been
passed which makes the Dash-
wood road, running from Exe-
ter to near Grand Bend, a pro-
4atil padoq SI 1.1 'Se/mpg leTaiiiA
some time in the future the
road will receive a coating of
hard surfacing material.
Mr. Elgin Merner, of Dash-
wood, who underwent an opera-
tion in St. Joseph's Hospital,
London, last week, was brought
back to his home in the am-
bulance.
Mr. Fred Brock, of Hills -
green, has returned home from
the north country, where he
was successful in bagging his
quota of deer.
The many friends of Miss
Myrtle Armstrong, teacher at
the Clinton School, will be
pleased to learn that she is im-
proving after her serious auto
accident.
Hay Telephone System Prepares For
Dial Conversion Next Year at Bend
Representatives of the Town-
ship of Hay Municipal Tele-
phone System attended the first
co-ordination meeting with re-
gards Dial Conversion of Grand
Bend Exchange, ice --Toronto, on
November 23rd(Itepresented at
the meeting were officials of
the Ontario Telephone Author-
ity, Bell Telephone Company
and Northern Electric Company.
Meetings of a like nature
will be held frequently from
now through to date of cutover;
their purpose being to co-ordin-
ate the efforts of the primary
organizations and to check pro-
gress on each phase of the
work to ensure that all aspects
are completed on schedule.
It would appear as a result
of the meeting -that the cutover
date will now be set at Decem-
ber 16, 1962. It had been anti-
cipated earlier to be February, t
1963.
All parties involved feel
able to complete their portions
of the work to meet the Dec-
ember 1962 deadline. The Hay
Municipal system is at present
ahead of schedule with their
cable construction, and have or-
dered telephone dial sets. They
expect to begin installations
early next year.
The Hay Telephone system
anticipates a further increase in
revenues this year. During the
summer their services increased
to almost 1500.
People keep asking me how
I like teaching. I find it dif-
ficult to give a direct answer.
There are some things about
it that I don't like at all, and
some that I like very much. It's
difficult to be neutral.
Some teachers are. They go
through the motions, neither
liking nor disliking their work,
but treating it as a job which
produces a fairly good living.
They would be just as happy
selling beer, or putting round
pegs in round holes. Fortun-
ately, they are few.
Teachers are like farmers.
The poor ones do a mediocre
job of working with what they
have, refuse to learn new
methods, let their implements
grow rusty, complain steadily
of the hard work, and avoid it
whenever possible.
* Y,= *
The good ones makes the
best of what they have, keep
in touch with new methods,
keep their brains or machinery
in good condition, face rever-
ses with fortitude, put a great
deal of themselves into their
work, and look forward to the
new term or season with a high
heart and great expectations.
I'm not trying to imply that
good farmers and good teach-
ers are dedicated, dull people,
who confront adversity with
a sweet Christian smile. Many
a good farmer will make the
air crackle with Olympian
wrath when the weather ruins
his crops. And many a good
teacher will do exactly the
same when his seedlings are
touched by the frost of apathy
or the locusts of laziness.

Oesch, 668;
But the good ones gird up
heir loins, spit on their hands,
and go back at it, secure in the
knowledge that one of these
days the crop will be a god one,
whether it's grain or brain
they're developing.
This faith is essential to both.
It is really a sort of inner
toughness, and without it, the I
farmer or the teacher is licked.
The fanner who doesn't have
it sells out and goes to work
for somebody else. The teach-
er who doesn't have it has a
fair chance of- becoming a men-
tal case.
• * * *
Here's where the farmer has
an edge, perhaps, over the
teacher. He's not apt to go
goofy. When he wants to re-
lease his tension or provide an
outlet for his frustration, he
can always give his prize bull
a boot in the behind. In this
enlightened age, the teacher is
restricted from doing this with
his prize pupil, and must con-
tent himself with a glare, a
pointing finger, and a voice
quivering with controlled rage.
The most successful farmers
are not necessarily those who
stick to the approved, tried-and-
true methods. Some of them
are gamblers. Others are in-
novators who will try anything
that makes sense. They have
their failures, but they bounce
back and enjoy their big years,
when the gamble pays off; the
market holds and the new me-
thod works like a charm.
It's the same with teachers.
Those who stick by the book
are not necessarily the teach-
ers who kindle the desire for
knowledge. Often it is the
oddball, the erratic one with
the unorthodox methods, who
makes the lasting impression
on the pliable young mind.
They, too, have their failures,
but they also have their bril-
liant successes.
Both farmer and teacher
must have one thing. They
must be able to make things
grow. They must be adept at
planting the seed, careful in
nursing its growth, and able
to judge when it is ready to
be harvested.

Another thing each must
have is an affection and re -
