Hunter,. ,!erred at his home in Kin - hie week, Ontario has lost foremost weekly newspaper `guh his newspaper, the Kin- ne Review -Reporter, and other es, Mr. Hunter had made a e for himself from coast to coast. was a thorough newspaperman, a +colorful editorial writer, •and a man Of great force of character. Ile was never afraid to publish his belle's or make a statement, and he never minced matters in the telling, e These things and his ability as a gatherer of interesting news, kept his paper in the forefront of the weekly Canadian field, and his death is a dis- tinct loss to Canadian journalism. Mr. Hunter was a former councillor mid' Mayor of Kincardine, a Past President of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association, and a Past Grand Master of the Orange Lodge in Canada and all his life had taken an active interest and part in municipal affairs as well as -in politics. COMPARING THE PIONEERS WITH THE PRESENT UNEMPLOYED In this week's issue of The Exposi- tor we publish an account of a re- union of the descendants of two of our Huron County pioneer families. At this reunion many interesting reminiscences of pioneer days were recounted and one can not help com- paring the conditions of those early days with the conditions under which so much unemployment exists to -day. When these two pioneer families and there were hundreds like them, arrived in Huron about all they pos- sessed was the clothes they stood in, and a few, a very few, household ef- fects. They had come, to what to them, was a foreign country, a land of dense bush, and they were without neigh- bors and without friends. They had to learn to use an axe before they could sow a single seed. In these strange and unreal sur- roundings they had to provide food and •clothing for their families and to provide shelter and warmth dur- ing the long, cold winters. . In times of stress they had no municipal councils to which they could make an appeal for help; no Provin- cial Government to furnish them with work, which would enable them to earn some ready cash, and no Do- minion Government to vote thein mil- lions of dollars in their time of need. All they had was courage, inde- pendence and the will to work. With them it was a case of work or starve. and to a man, they chose to live. Through their own efforts the help of the noble women who were their wives, and of their sons and daugh- ters, they cleared the forests and made a garden of the land. Compare that courage, that indus- try and that thrift with the conditions •we have in these times, which men call hard. To -day we noticed in a paper that the unemployed men in the city of Hamilton were asing the coun- cil to furnish them with $25 a week and $2 additionaI for each child. Why, there are hundreds of pioneers who never saw $25 in the course of. a year, not to mention a week, and there are sons and daughters of those pion- eers who never possessed that sum of money until they had grown to man- hood and womanhood, and if they possessed it then it was because they had earned it and saved it, not •be- cause a benevolent council had given it to them. It looks, to -day, as if help was a little too near at hand for backbone development. Certainly the land is still here and cleared land at that, and opportunities for a man to make a living for himself and family are ten fold to what they were in the early days of this country. What, apparently, is lacking in man to -day is that courage, industry and independence that so largely made up the character of our pioneer men and women. ROUNDING UP THE REDS A simultaneous raid en Commun- ists and their headquarters in Toron- to, Northern Ontario and the West, was' blade Wednesday evening by Provincial and Dominion police, when the leaders of the party in Canada 'a'e eet>ilkett into custody and many papers "slid' letters seized.

Qn the - Other hand, it is well Known that they have done their best to ferment trouble in labor circles and witlethe unemployed, and in Northern Ontario and the West have had a fair measure •of success in their evil aims. There is no room or place for these Communists, their kith, kin or kind in) Canada, and the sooner they axe shipped back to whence they came, or to Russia which they love so well, the better it will be for this country. 6 tWINTHROP The W.M.S. and Ladies' Aid met at the home of Mss.

MANLEY Threshing operations will be of short duration with the number of threshing outfits in our burg, but the crop is better than at first anticipat ed. What might have been a serious accident occurred on the farm of lir John Deitz. While Mr. and Mrs. Deitz were working on their adjoining farm they had locked up their dog who is somewhat vicious, and left their little son, Mervin, and Master Stephen Man-. ley playing, when they let the dog out, who at once sprang on Stephen knocking him down and started to chew him badly, and' only for the pluck of little Mervin, who at once managed to pull him off, his wounds looked serious, but the young lad is progressing nicely, and the doctor advised them not to kill the dog for eight days to see what might develop and keep him tied and muzzled and be kind to him and everything would turn out satisfactorily. BAY1 IELDD Dedication Service.—The bell re- cently installed in the new Knox Pres byterian Church was dedicated at a special service Sunday morning, Aug 9th. The impressiveness of the oc- casion was heightened by the fact that dedication included the unveiling of a memorial tablet inscribed with the names of those in whose memory the bell has been given. The bell is the gift of Mrs. Helen Hinde, widow of the late William Hinde, a former Rec- tor of Trinity Anglican Church. The service was conducted throughout with the dignity of simplicity by Rev H. S. Bennie, of Acton, Ont., assisted by A. Peddie, student minister, in- terpreted the message of the bell as an echo of the words of Jesue when He said: "What is that to thee? Fol- low thou Me. It will, he said, act as a continual reminder of our great purpose and bring our consciousness away from non-essential bypaths. The dedication was made at the close of the regular morning service, follow- ing the hymn, "For All the Saints who From Their Labors Rest." The tablet, unveiled by Mrs. Mary Fraser readi as follows: "The bell on this' church is the gift of Mrs. Helen Hinde in loving memory of John Fraser James Qardner, Margaret Gibson Caroline Wallis McKenzie, Richard Stanbury, M.D., Jane Elgie Stanbury Charles Simons, John Whiddon." Rev H. S. Bennie delivered the keeping of the bell and tablet to George Dewar chairman, of trustees; Murdock Ross Ruling Elder, and James Reid, chair- man of the Board of Managers. The bell was accepted by Mr. Dewar on behalf of the congregation as a sacred trust- to be guarded in honor of the faithful and devoted' lives to whose memory it- is set up. Eight chimes were struck. Mr. Bennie then dedicat- ed the bell to the glory of God. The dedisrabory prayer was followed by a few words by Mr. Peddie regarding the character and labors of those men and women honored on the tablet. The service was closed with the hymn, My Faith Looks Up to Thee. The guest soloist, Miss Laura Peter, of • Strat-. ford, sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." It was evident that the large congregation including as it did many friends and relatives of those named on the tablet, were' deeply moved by the earnest spirit of the service. The tablet, of beautiful French marble, will be placed in the entrance of the church. At the even- ing service Miss Lucy Woods assisted the choir and sang a solo, "Holy Father." The Young People's Society of St. Andrew's United Church held a social Thursday evening, August 6th, and the Young.People of Grace Church put on an exffillent programme, consisting of songs, recitations, • musical selec- tions, etc., which were greatly enjoy- ed by all.

A very good crowd was present, which also included members of the Mission Band, Junior C.G.I.T., Senior •C.G.I.T. and W. M. S. members. A program was given by a number of girls of the Mission Band and Junior C.G.I.T., which was much enjoyed and. reflected much credit on the leaders, while the Senior and Junior C.G.I.T. groups interested the little ones. Mrs. Gundy, of the Dominion Board of the W.M.,S. in Toronto, spoke very ac- ceptably to the ladies. A most inter- esting feature of the program was the graduation of four little members :of the Baby Band into the Mission Band and the reception of four, new mem- bers to the Baby Band. A dainty lunch was served at the close in the church parlors by the girls. Mrs. Stewart, of Toronto, is 'visit- ing with her sister, Mrs. J.

Miss Mary and Will Thomson vis- ited with friends in Staffa recently. Mr. and Mrs. James Bowey, of Ex- eter, were visitors in the village one day last week. Threshing is now the 'order of the day. We notice a great number of the present-day farmers favor the stook threshing, which certainly speeds up the harvesting in the fav- orable weather. The yield of grain from most reports are encouraging. Excitement reigned high among the would-be spectators of the shower of comets or shooting stars which was viewed in the northeastern sky on Tuesday night or extremely early on Wednesday morning. Those who made an effort to see them felt well repaid for the loss of the half hour or so of repose not to mention those who were the ,not ones ,of cir- cumstance. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Scott, of Detroit, are spending the holidays at Mrs. Scott's home, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Forsyth, of Tuckersmith.

ZURICH Death of Mrs. Samuel Baker.—The death took place at St. Joseph's Hos- pital, London, on Sunday evening, of Mrs. Samuel Baker, of this village, in her 48th year.

The remains were 'brought to her home in Zurich and the funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, inter- ment taking place in the Lutheran Cemetery. Rev. E. Tuerkheim con- ducted the services. ,She is survived by her husband, one brother, William, of Zurich. and two sisters, Mrs. Geo. Becker, of near Dashwood, and Louise of Kitchener.

Klopp had the unpleas•ai•it ex- perience of having the box slide off the rear of his truck and the fish and ice were strewn along the street. A bath in clean water after gathering them up was necessary to put them in condition for sale. w HENSALL Semi -Final 0. B. A. A. Baseball.— Stratforh vs. Hensall at Hensall re- creation grounds on Saturday, August 15th, at 4.30 p.m. 'Stratford, the win- ner of the Stratford District Group, and Hensall, the winner of the Huron League, will play the intermediate B series, home and home games; • also surprising the London All Stars, and you can look forward for a real ball game, as both teams are out to win.

The fallowing acts gly'en out by the Post Office Depart - merit in a recent circular, addressed to postmasters, will be of much interest to the public generally,and particular- ly so to patrons sending out money: lst—Post office money orders are sold and cashed at 6;500 offices in Canada. 2nd—No amount too large or small to be sent by post office money order. 3rd!—Post 'once money orders 'are paid on presentation at money order offices or at ohartered banks; 4th— Post office money order offices are op- en from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; 5th—Post office money orders lost or destroyed are replaced, by duplicates , without cost; 6th—!Post office money order fees are low; 7th—,The Government of Canada guarantees the safety of the system.. Another matter of spe- cial interest to all doing business is that postage stamps can now be used in place of excise stamps on all cheques. In keeping with all the improve- ments continually going on in our village, we would like to see the audi- torium •of our Town Hall nicely dec- orated, as ..the- walls and ceiling are badly in need of it as the plaster, once. white and nice, has now become discord -red, chipped and broken, and generally marred, and not at all in keeping with the lower floor or base- ment part containing council cham- bers, clerk's office, library and recep- tion rooms, which are very nicely de- coratefl and present a most creditable appearance, and now all that is need- ed to make the auditorium of our town hall a place than oan be admir- ed is the decorating of the wall and ceiling which could be done at a com- paratively small cost. The W.M.S.- of the United Church held their monthly meeting on Thurs- day afternoon of last week With the vice-president, Mrs. A. Sinclair, pre- siding.

Services in the United Church were largely attended on Sunday last. Rev. A. Sinclair had charge of both ser- vices, delivering splendid discourses At the morning service. Miss Greta Lammie rendered a pleasing violin selection and at the evening service the pastor spoke vety ably on the Ten Clnandanents, ; .At the ei�rsr3 Og• se vlee. Mrs. 1VI. Redden sung a de 1.10111•d ee'le .eletitled, "Re Wipea - l'enn fromentery Eye." Next Sun- day ltlio ,services will be in charge of Rei+, ¥r McTavish, of Exeter.

Hemphill and family have returned from camp- ing in their summer cottage at Grand Bend. Mr. George Todd spent the past couple of weeks with relatives at Bad Axe, Mich., and other places in that State. Our village, we believe, never 'had a better showing of flower beds, shrubs, etc., than this as the fregeent rains kept the lawns and flowers so fresh and green.

Baker,: a resident of our village, was discovered by neighbors in his house on Richmond Street, 'south, as having passed away perhaps a couple of day's without their knowledge as he was living alone. When found, the cor- oner, Dr. Dwyer, of Zurich, was quick- ly notified and coming here an inquest and trial was held, , the body having been viewed by the jurort. But the giving out of the evidence of the in- quest was postponed for a couple of weeks. At the end of that time the trial was to be renewed with the presence of severalwho were last with the deceased previous to his be- ing found dead, but the coroner being unable to attend at the appointed time the trial was further postponed until Tuesday, the llth, when the County Crown Attorney, Mr. Dudley Holmes, of Goderich, accompanied by his stenographer and also by Chief White - sides and Constable W. Gundry, were present at}}, the trial, when the wit- nesses weft/ examined without any material information being elicited. The finding of the inquest was that the deceased came to his death through the use of alcoholic poison. There were quite a number present at the trial as much interest was felt in the case. e Lost is F rind ieettI Station•to•station ("any- one") calls between 7.00 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. local time are on the low evening rate.
