Et belittles a business, a town, or a person, to overlook the little things. Overlooking little things is one of the main fetors that makes a small to= small. It is the little things that often make the difference between profit and loss in business, especially in dull tines. With an individual, it is refine- enent, courtesy, cleanliness; with a store, it is stock arrangement, pleasing, s cient salespeople, tidiness and atmosphere; with a town, it is clean streets, well kept lawns, traffic regulations and progressiveness of the citizens. A party of tourists once stopped in a town of some three thousand popu- lation and inquired of a pedestrian, "Where is the business district?" The pedestrian was highly insulted and replied, "Straight ahead a mile and a half." He was insulted because it so happened he was in front of his own store which he advertised as "The center of things." A geed joke on the tourists thought many who were told of it. But when the tourists got a mile and 'a half further on , they found nothing but country. It no'• de- velops the tourist was just a wee bit more than a mere traveller. The man rind his family bad decided to locate in a town in that section. To -day, that man with a family of six, has built a $16,000 home on a half block purchased from the previous owner. The most successful merchandising concerns in the country have built their business on courtesy, service and little things. Your town is a busi- ness, and courtesy and service extended by you to your neighbor and the potential customer of your community business will also build. Be funny, snake wise cracks, fail to sell ,your community when you have the chance, and you will tear down. When a merchant, an organization, or your newspaper does anything for your community, tell them about it, write them a letter, call them on the phone, or stop in and see them and express your appreciation. You get as mnuch good out of anything they do for the community as they do. No one can do anything for the town but that you won't benefit. If you don't or won't do anything yourself, the least you can do is to thank those who are doing something through which you will benefit. It is a little thing to do, but it will pay you a profit.

Farewell to the island, traditions that last Are writ on the page of her grand, storied past, The brain and the brawn of her brav- est and best Were nourished and fed from the Maritime's breast. Farewell to the island, the dim moun- tains fade IIu the mists that encircle that ever- green glade, The East and the West have touched hands tenderly, United we stand in this land of the free. H.

Dear Expositor: Returning from Florida we came up the Hudson river from New York to Albany and along Lake Champlain route with the Adirondacks and green mountains of Vonnant as an impressing setting, thence to Montreal and Ottawa. The scenic beauty of the landscape was delightful and ever to be remem- bered, especially that portion where the stirring events depicted i n Cooper's "Last of the Mohicans" and other Indian stories are - niprtalized. ]Really we felt like e Jews of the Captivity, glad to e t back to the promised land—Canada. Beyond a question of doubt, Florida has the best winter -summer climate in Amer- ica, and the citrus fruit and flowers are superb, otherwise remain in Can- ada under the Union Jack. Ottawa, the capital city of the Dominion of Canada, is situated on the south bank of the Ottawa river, which forms the boundary between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec about ninety, miles above its junc- tion, with the St. Lawrence, near Montreal. Se forth aces Under the auspices of the Long isranch Jockey Club �Q o9 Aw.. "9 1929 2.17 TROT OR PACE, Purse $300.00 2.22 TROT OR PACE, Purse S300.00 2.30 TROT OR PACE, Purse $300.00 All Mile Heats. The capitai city is rapidly increas- ing in population and extends from the Chandiere Falls, where the river falls over fifty feet of rocky ledge and flows to the Rideau, a tributary river, with Major's and Parliament Hills 160 feet in height fronting it. The Rideau canal skirts the east side of Parliament Hill and largely marks the dividing line between the English and French citizens. The spires of the costly. churches gives evidence of the Christian character of its popula- tion. The street sub -way terminal leading from the Union depot into the Chateau{ Laurier, is a decided con- venience to the travelling public. On leaving the Chateau we were delight- ed to meet a former .Seaforthite in the person of Mr. Newton Mactavish, who accorded., us a right royal wel- come to the Capital City. As editor of the Canadian Courier Magazine, Mr. Mactavish excelled in literary ability and recently it was pleasing to note his appointment as one of the Civil Service Commissioners of Can- ada, the duties of which demand the services of outstanding big business men, and as such the Prime Minister made no mistake in the selection of the brother of our esteemed towns- man, Mr. John Mactavish, dry goods merchant, for the honored position. Parliament was in session, which, together with the all-pervading sight seeing, was one of the pleasurable ob- jectives of the visit to the capital city. On entering one of the House galleries, the member for Labelle, Mr. Henri Bourrassa, was engaged in ad- dressing the members on the Divorce Bill for Ontario, which was vigorous- ly challenged by the Opposition mem- bers seated on the left of the speak- er. The brilliant French-Canadian orator (personally not unknown to Seaforthites through having some years ago addressed the Canadian club here) was in splendid speaking form and occupied one of the front row of desks on the government side of the House, and it certainly was a distinctive pleasure in noticing im- mediately across the aisle the member for South Huron, Mr. Thomas McMil- lan, seated at his desk assiduously en- gaged in ^writing notes relative to the question of Ontario Divrce legisla- tion.. Intelligent citizens truthfully assert that the selection of the member of Parliament reflects in a marked de- gree the intelligence of the constitu- ency represented, hence the cheering knowledge is exemplified through wit- nessing the foremost seating position of the Memlber for South Huron in not being categorically designed as a back -bencher. Apparently the prov- ince of Ontario is destined to have a divorce law with its attendant evils, and the member for South Huron, in recognition of the fast, was busily engaged in formulating a hill to ameliorate the consequent future life conditions of the children of divorcees through providing legislation which would remove them from want and above the scanty charity of worldly indifference. Humanitarian legisla- tion of this class is to be commended. When the House adjourned its af- ternoon session we called on Mr. Mc- Millan and found him pleasantly lo- cated in one of the House rooms with Dr. Hall, member for South Bruce, as office associate. The visit was de- cidedly pleasant, especially so when it terminated in a sumptuous dinner in the luxurious dining room of the House of Commons. Thanks.

SUT°II r3RLAN D - sec =]Acle, Dufferin affirmed, "no city in Europe could compare with its natural gran- deur," and our own Canadian poet, William Wilfred Campbell, wielding his pen in love and admiration said, "The architect who evolved all of this wonderful effect must have been en- dowed with genius; if not, he builded better—better than he knew." During the stressful days of the World War on February 3rd, 1916, the louse of Parliament was destroy- ed by 'fire and at the .time we were wont to say "an enemy hath done this." However, the march of time produced a greater and more strik- ingly beautiful House of Parliament, adorned with its Peace Tower, built by the Canadian natioxa and at the inauguration of the carillon on July 1st, 1927, the Right Honorable Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada, described the falling of the old bell as follows: "In the great fire of 1916, the bell in the old tower which sounded the hours continued to the very last to perform its duty. The base of the tower was on fire when the hour of ten was struck. Threugh the a,pertures the flames were flash- ing when the bell sounded the hour of eleven. As the hour of midnight approached, most of this tower was already in ruin, its base was a smol- dering mass, its pinnacle had been de- voured by the flames, still the old sentinel stood on guard. At midnight the crash came. In an endeavor to strike the final hour, it fell, its belfry demolished, its voice silenced. That sacrifice, however, has not been in vain. Out of the ashes of the tower which was destroyed, a destinction which at the time seemed to symbolize the devastation of the Great War, has risen a more beautiful tower, a Peace Tower, which stands to the world as a symbol of the spirit of this nation, bearing in its breast the res rd of the sacrifice made by our country for the world's peace. In a few moments it will be our privilege to bear wit- ness to the immortality of that spirit. When the clock which is now in'talled begins to sound forth the hours of the day, it will take the flaring torch, thrown to it over a space of years by the old sentinel at midnight, and hold- ing it aloft will strike at high noon the hour of twelve in commemoration alike of birth and resurrection." The Prime Minister's loyal devotion to Canada and the British Empire, as expressed in the quotation, recalls to memory Sir John A. Macdonald's famous "A British subject 1 was born and a British subject I will die." Truly, Great Canadians. The completion of the House of Parliament apparently invigorated the Government to give expression to its loyalty to the British Empire through renewed expression of con- stant relationship with England --the Mother of Parliaments—and ih ac- cordance therewith the present ar- rangement being effective for the new tower clock to reproduce as accurate- ly as sound would permit the notes of Big Ben and the Westminster chimes. This was the incentive to the greater project of the Carillon, which was installed as the crowning glory of the Peace Tower, with its fifty-three bells, the largest of which bears the inscription: "This Carillon was installed by authority of Parlia- ment to commemorate the Peace of 1918 and to keep in remembrance the service and sacrifie of Canada in the Great War." The Government as- suredly realized, historically, the more worthily the sacrifice of Canada in the World War would be commem- orative in its righteous aspect, the greater it would accord with the na- tional aspirations of the Canadian people, and to the mothers whose brave sons "who went over the top" in Flanders Fields and elsewhere, in defence of the Empire, the Peace Tower will forever be the tower of victory. Columns descriptive of the Canad- ian House of Parliament with its magnificent Peace Tower, could be written, hence it will be necessary to trespass upon the good will of the readers of The Expositor a further reference to its grandeur next week. At first sight the tourist is im- pressed with the magnificence of the Capital buildings, situated on Parlia- ment Hill, with the Laurentians the oldest mountain range in the world as a background. The House of Parlia- ment is among the finest specimens oft Italian Gothic in. America, the center of the north front cQntaining the library, is circular in forma tion and ninety feet in diameter. The enot and west blocks of Departmental buildings are placed like detached wings, forming the sides of a quad- rangle in front.

BAYF)1EL Drowning Fatality.—Horace Payne, 21 years old, of R. R. No. 3, Monkten, was carried to hie death here Sunday afternoon, when caught in the under- tow of the rough waters is fake Hur- on. The unfortunate youth member of a small picnic party, had just wad- ed into the water when he was top- pled over by a huge wave and wept away before rescuers could reach him. The water was unusually rough and Payne was a non -swimmer. The drowning accident occurred at throe o'clock but the 'body was not recov- ered until nearly five hours later. Fol- lowing the drowning several boats, equipped with grappling irons, start- ed the search which continued until almost dark. The remains were re- covered by Herbert and Willard Stur- geon, Bayfield fishermen, about ten feet from the spot where Payne was seen to go down. Coroner Dec. J. W. Shaw, of Clinton, has not yet stated whether an inquest will be held. The youth's body was removed to his }tame Sunday night. 'Payne motored to the resort here Sunday with a chum, Joe Hayward, and three young lady com- panions. The young picnickers hao enjoyed their lunch when they decid- ed to get into their bathing suits. Neither Payne nor Hayward could swim but they ventured into the water on the beach below Jowett's Grove. Payne had waded out scarcely' ten feet when a monstrous wave broke over him. He was knocked down and the strong undertow, running at the time, swept him away. Hayward was only DUBS Notes.—Miss Betty Dorrinstien, of Windsor, is spending her vacation with her parents.—Dr. and Mrs. J. McKenna and Mary, of Sarnia, called! on friends during the week.—Mrs. J.
