The above interesting group shows sitting from right to left, Mrs. Joseph Hudson, in her 90th year; Mrs. J. H. Smith (standing), Mrs. J. Troyer, Violetta Vyvienne Smith, Mr. Cecil Smith. More than the ordinary she.re of relatives is the unique distinction of little Violetta Vyvienne, daughter of Mr. Cecil Smith, of Toronto. Violetta Vyvienne is now nine months old When she came into this world she owned "a. grandmother, a great grand- mother and a great great grand- mother. Her great great grandmother is lb[rs. Joseph Hudson, in her 90th year, a much esteemed and respected resi- dent of Hensall. Mrs. Hudson is the daughter of the late Thomas Walker, a staunch son of Old Ireland, who came out to this country away back LI 1831. Stirring stories of the early days ere told by Mrs. Hudson. Although at the advanced age of 90 years, she its remarkably active, has a very re- tentive memory and delights in dis- cussing current political events, hav- ing a very comprehensive grasp_ of political affairs. She takes a keen interest in flowers and gardening and its a great lover of children. Born in South . Mountain, Dundas township, she removed with her par- ents to Varna at the age of five years and experienced all the hardships of ]pioneer days in a district covered with woods and sparsely settled. Many 'times in those days, keeping the wolf from the door was a reality. The nearest church was 12 miles away, but firewood was always plentiful. In 1856 she was married to Joseph Hudson. They moved to Hillsgreen and hewed out a homestead. Some 20 years ago they retired to Hensall, where Mr. Hudson died in 1912. She is the proud mother of eleven children. Thomas -and John Hudson, of Mar- lette, Michigan; Mrs. J. Troyer, Sea - forth; Mrs. J. T. Jarrott, Hillsgreen; Mrs. John Consitt, Seaforth; George Hudson, Hensall; Mrs. A. Harvey, Kippen; Mrs. William Douglas, Bruce - field; Mrs. James' Logan, Windsor; Isaac Hudson, Seaforth, and Mrs. W. Carlyle, Hillsgreen. In the third generation are thirty- seven grandchildren; in the fourth generation 37 great grandchildren, and in the fifth generation, 4 great grandchildren, Robert and Billie Cook, of Waterloo; Dorothy Wright, Stratford; - and Violetta Vyvienne Smith. Mrs. James Wright, of Mit- chell, is the grandmother of the three in the fifth generation and Mrs. John H. Smith, of Toronto, and formerlY of Seaforth, who was also one of a family of five living generations, is the grandmother of Violetta Vyvienne Smith. It is believed that two fifth living generations in one family is unique in Ontario. ¶PIRIIE 'TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SOUS MANY ¶'OWNS ARE LIKE SOME MERCHANTS They spend much time and money trying to attract new business when they are not getting all there is to get out of the business they already have. There is, in the advertising business, what is called the "Golden Triangle" of every mercantile establishment. It is that space in front of the store where people who pass can see the store entrance and the windows. It is the vital point in every retail business; for no merchant can sell his wares (excluding mail order and telephone orders) unless the people come into the store. The advertising to reach the area so named is what is called "Point of Purchase" advertising. Its purpose is to stop the passerby, which is the one big reason for show windows and window displays. Through this med- ium the merchant attempts to attract attention, then create a desire to enter the store. American people buy by eye—what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't fancy. Towns are exactly like stores in this general respect. If a town got all of the business from the traffic it already has, it is ten to one that it would never have to spend any money for additional business. But as long as there are towns, and the people in them remain human, they will probably continue to go out after more customers when they have not got all there is to be had from the traffic they already have. Let us take the automobile traffic as one angle of revenue or business for n Every strange automobile that passes through your city is worth/a gC dly sum—much more than most people think—but you must stop the car and get the passengers out of it, if you are going to get their business. Twenty per cent. of those people who tour by motor car are in the market for or can be sold a new location. Every motorist can be made to be the cause for more motorists coming to your town. An analyzation of this means of town income shows many surprising facts, chief of which is first, that very few towns recognize the business that can be had from it. One morning a few years ago I left Chicago very early for points east. To save time and avoid traffic I took a back road, but much to my chagrin I encountered a freight train whose engineer evidently had no place to go and was in no hurry to get there. The half hour that I was delayed I have never regretted, for while waiting there I saw that which to me was, is and always will be a picture in life of wonderful significance. Just inside the fence from where I sat parked lay a calf of less than six months of age, lazily dpzipg in the morning sunshine. The morning was warm and the flies were Whore than numerous. Around the calf were many goslings, one of which was some five feet or more away, lazily sun- ning himself with eyes half open, but occasionally rousing sufficiently to spick off a fly that came unsuspectingly close enough. Another little fellow had settled himself directly adjacent to and up against that which soon would be someone's veal steak, and was fast asleep. Had the calf moved, one little duck would have been no more. Two other little downy ones with much vim and quacking endurance were chasing their fool legs off trying to run down, overtake and devour elusive insects that were far too clever for them—but--there was another little duck standing at that portion of the reclining calf's anatomy where swish of tail and toss of head failed to disturb him, picking hlundreds of flies off the calf's back—in other words, taking advantage of an opportunity. To me the calf was a highway, the fiie§ were lnotorists, and the goslings were towns, each in a true -to -form of wakefulneess activity and resourceful- ness. Your town is one of those ducks.

Though the r'udgrat itself has been' de- bated, voted upon and accepted by majority o2 enty-four, the separate Kerne have to VMS the resiting off' tlhe House in Committee and seems - times them indi eidmal item leaded 44 a mat deal ®it aii'le stele a: A Man mean' teoseet5.3 the Eceeneeali eenanie SJd31J7: ORJ1 One item: the duty on' cogoanut, caused quite a storm. Formerly, un- der the old tariff the rate was five cents, under the British Preference; six cents a pound under the Intermed- iate and six cents under the General rate. This applied to desiccated co- coenut, sweetened or unsweetened. Some wise man conceived the idea of having a lower rate upon the un- sweetened cocoanut so that be night import it, spray it with a little sugar and thus be able to collect quite a substantial sum of money for the not very elaborate process of sweetening cocoanut. So the tariff -was arranged that way—that item was divided in two. Sweetened cocoanut was admit- ted at the old rate—the unsweetened comes in at 2, 3 and 3 cents per pound. The fortunate manufacturer gets a protective ,tariff of three cents for sweetening cocoanut and the Govern- ment loses some revenue! Automobiles. In the 1926 Budget, the duty was lowered upon automobiles. Formerly it stood at 35 per cent., but on the lower priced cars it was brought down to 20 per cent. Afterwards the Gov- ernment made a change. In Com- mittee they amended that by impos- ing an excise tax upon imported cars, but exempting the home product from this tax. This was done on the direct promise of the Automobile Manufac- ture Association that they would not take advantage of the protection thus afforded. Now it seems from the evidence in the House that having received this additional amount of protection, be- cause an excise tax in that particular case works exactly the same as tariff protection, the manufacturers were not so enthusiastic as they seemed to be when they made the promise. The question has been raised in the House as to whether they have lived up to their promise. Mr., Coote, the Mem- ber for Macleod, who has always tak- en a keen interest in this question, asserts that they have not. ,Mr. Robb retorts that the case is not proved. On whom does the proof rest? Sure- ly if this favor were granted to the Canadian Manufacturers of automo- biles, they ought to be willing to sub- mit the actual figures in proof of their contention that they have not taken advantage of their position. They wee given this favor at the time with the idea that it would help them. They were given it with the idea that they would not take ad- vantage of it, but that it would serve an additional . protection to enable them to secure a larger share of the home market. Whit are they doing about it? Are they living up to their promise? Or are they sant? If they are not living up to it, the tax ought to be removes] upon the imported car and the result would be that we would get lower priced automobiles in the Dominion of Canada and that would be a rather cheerful suggestion for many who have contemplated buy- ing new cars, but hesitate—hesitate more than ever since the recent losses in nickel and other stocks. But the point of the controversy is that the onus of proof should rest up- on the Canadian manufacturer. When a man receives a particular favor from the Government under definite and specific provision, then it seems only reasonable that he should pro- vide from time to time, the proofs that he is living up to the condition stated. If he is not, the arrange- ment made should be abrogated and he should be placed upon a basis of more open competition. Competition is a great price regulator. These wicked men and women who will not lead a life of domestic felic- ity, but quarrel like Kilkenny cats be- cause they happen to be tied together by marriage vows, are becoming a persistent annoyance to the House of Commons. In the old days, divorce bills came before the Senate. The Senate re- ferred them to a Committee, the Com- mittee heard the evidence, gave its judgment, it was "O.K.'d" by the Sen- ate and by the House of Commons. The Bills would come up more or less in a casual way; the Speaker would mumble over the necessarywords and it would go through as smoothly as an eel and as quickly as a streak of chain lightning. In fact it hardly needed a quorum in the House—we simply accepted the word of these old boys in the Senate, that this thing was all right— ciple of the Budget, but he may hope to see some 'particular item amended so he fights when the question comes up in Committee with all the tenacity of a terrier worrying a rat. , The tariff items this year shofnIld not call for prolonged discussion. They vdere remarkably trivial in themselves; though somethnes a principle le in- volved and a unarm may fight 207 sa Prineiplie Monet theft earthly or molitiezall reward /07 no +fie t 1 ea a e f t c t CEUi POSTSO K.

So the attack upon Mr. 1 even when made by equally a fficient gentlemen upon the other side 1 f the House—that is, gentlemen cap- i ble of handling themselves well in ttacks or defence, is not particularly asy. They are not simply walking ver an opposing force by way of ex- . rcise. They are up against a real The Sinncoe Pose O ase. The trouble arose over the Post- n iastership at Simcoe. A certain gen- . Leman was reeommended for the He was a returned soldier. •.

'he man who received the appoint- a rent was also a returned soldier, but ae was without disability. It is one f these delightful questions, afford- , ng ample room for magnificent dis- . of forensic oratory upon both ides of the House. It might seem o the ordinary man that it is not to appoint a man who, though may have served well in the war, offers now from a disability which nevents him from giving full service. 'his country is big enough and rich -nough to provide amply for returned soldiers. If that is not now being lone, it ought to be done. There are he two sides of the question—argue t out as you may. The Old Guard Passes. Once more we record the passing In of two Canadians who have been rery prominent in the public life of he Dominion. One of them, Sir Clif- 'ord Sifton, served in the Laurier iabinet. He was admitted, upon ev- ery hand, to be one of the ablest statesmen who ever occupied a posi- tion in the public life of Canada. Prue, he has been, during "a great part Ahis life, subject to storms of crit- cism. Now it may he presumed that history will do him justice. This at east, must be said: He was a pioneer in that movement which began the settlement of Western Canada. He was at the helm during the period of affairs in which Western Canada made great material advancement. He set the pace of development—a pace which has never since been surpassed. The other man was Dr. Edwards. He was of an entirely different type. House represented in the ouse a cer- tain religious section of the commun- ity.

He was not go- ing to he guilty of passing any Act when he did not know what he was doing. That may he a fairly logical senti- ment, but there are those in the House of Commons who feel that they can trust the Senatorial Committee with this important task and that certain work must be delegated to Committees and it is not necessary for a Member of Parliament to study the Individual items.

Between Elgin H. Close, Plaintiff, and the Corporation of the Township f Usborne, Defendants. R. S. Hays, Esq., Counsel for Plaintiff; Messrs. Gladman and Stanbury, Counsel for Defendants. Judgment—The evidence adduced before me established the following acts: On July 29th, 1928, about 2.20 p.m., the Plaintiff was driving his own car, a Hudson Brougham, weight 2/ tons, en the second concession of Usborne, on his way to London. His wife oc- cupied the front seat with him. While driving along the said second conces- sion of Usborne, they encountered a drove of twelve cattle, one of which was on the left side of the road, graz- ing, the others being on the right side of the road. There was no one in charge of same. The Plaintiff pro- ceeded slowly, at the rate of 8 or 10 miles an hour, devoting the greater part of his attention to the cow on the left, thinking she would, if start- led, try to join the others. Just as he came abreast of the cow on the left his wife called to him, and he saw a cow from the herd at the right start out in front of his car. He jammed on the four wheel brakes and emer- gency and the car stopped as it touch- ed the legs of the cow. The cow fell on his car and caused the damages sued for. The animal was not injured and continued grazing. The Plaintiff asked the Defendant Corporation to pay for damage. They refused, cit- ing By-law No. 4, 1920, of the Town- ship of Usborne. Their contention is that this By-law is under S. S. 49 of Section 397, Chap. 233, R.S.O., 1927 "for prohibiting or REGULATING the running at large or trespassing of animals other than dogs, etc." and that under this sec- tion they may pass a by-law allowing rattle to pasture on the highway with- out anyone in charge, provided the conditions of their by-law are observ- ed, as they were in this case. In interpreting the Statute, on which the Defendant Corporation re- lies in this case, this Court must take into consideration all the circum- stances, customs and practices, affect- ing the occurrence in question. The very language of the Section "RE- GULATING the running at large or trespassing animals" implies a rule or control of such animals, which was notoriously absent in this case." It is inconceivable that the Legisla- ture would empower any Municipality to pass a by-law giving the right to anyone to place or allow a menace to the lives of the citizens to wander un- restrained day or night on the Ring's Highway. T find that cin a much travelled highway such as this was, the habit of pasttueing cattle -on the highway is a direct and actual menace to the lives of people travelling on such highways, and "The right of the public to free passage along the Ring's Highway is paramount." "It is true that the legal estate in the highway is vested in municipal au- thority but only as a trustee for the public, and the persons interested aro all hie Mejesty°a subjects, whose tight of free pasiete tie fie>sly this Menne fit's_ WIINOIHIAMi -Briefs —Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mc- Elroy visited over the week end with the former's parents, T.

Body Recovered.—After more than two weeks of relentless search on the part of the grief-stricken father and a band of willing citizens, the body of Jack Burgman, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Burgman, Wingham, was recovered about 6.45 o'clock Monday morning. A search party had start- ed out shortly after daylight, the water in that part of the Maitland river known as the dam, was quite clear, and about 6.45 o'clock the re mains were noticed lying on the river bed, about 100 yards from where young Burgman and three compan ions were tossed from an upturned boat. The body was partly hidden from view. On the morning of Sat urday, April 6th, Jack Burgmann who had he lived, would have celebrated his thirteenth birthday about a week ago, and three companions, Murray Rae, Harold Skelding and Arthur Stone, went out on the river in a boat.
