Before . dismissing the resolution,
ccuncii heard the report of Harvey
Erskine, county treasu r, that he
and the warden had o,,Z" to confer -
with the manager- of .the bank re-
garding lower interest rates on coun-
ty' loans. The manager -had told them
that no municipalities were 'receiving
any :ower rates on loans but that he
would write to the head, office regard-
ing the matter, said Mr. 'Erskine. The
present,r•ate is 51/e per cent.
An indication of better times was
shown by the fact that the • salaries
of the.county clerk, J. M. Roberts,

A. R. Turnbull Writes of
Experiences While in
Austria During Holidays:
(Mrs, G. T. Turnbull has received
the following letter from her son,
Mr. A. R. Turnibull, who is resident
in London, En -gland. During the
Christmas holidays Mr. Turnbull en-
joyed a trip to Austria and here'
writes• of his experiences:
Christmas is over for another year
but this C'hristm'as has been the most
enjoyable for me since I came to
London. The London atmosphere at
Christmas time is usually dull and de-
pressing, so this year I decided I
wanted to see some snow, so I took
to two weeks,' vacation and went for
e whirl at winter sports in the Aus-
trian Tyrol. Mand English folk a-
vail themselves of the opportunity for
this sport presented by the moon -
tains of Europe and this year special
excursion trains were run to the var-
ious winter resorts ind' S-witzerdand'
end Austria. Here must be dozens
sof these resorts but iI chose a town
by the n'ante of Kitzbuhel in Austria,
ituated on the main Innsbruck -Vien-
na railway line, about 300,, miles west
tof Vienna.
The sports special left Victoria
tstation at 5 p.m. Saturday, December
22nd. The station was one mass of
people, some ; in ski dress carrying
their stkis, other in ordinary business
'dress. We arrived at Folkestone a-
bout 6.30 and boarded the S. S. Can-
tte'rb'nry for the channel crossing. I
,,yl±ielieve this was the ship used to
bring 'Princes ' Marina to England

'For all Thy goodness lent.
And if it please Thee, Heavenly guide

Lions Club Does not
Issue Invitations
The Seaforth Lions Club wish to an -
ounce that wild letatall times they are
pleased to welcome guests to 'meet-
ings, they do not, as a club, issue in-
Ivitations. Guests in any capacity,
who attend Lions functions, are there
on the invitation and at the personal
expense of the individual Lion who
invites them, and who, of course, al-
so pays for his own meal.
Under no circumstances are the
funds of the Lions Club used for any-
thing but crippled children and gen-
eral welfare work and the ordinary
expenses incidental to club operation
which are comparatively insignificant
and strictly limited.

Wight 'travel ,on continental trains

one takes a sleeper, the cost of which
is excessive, being about the equiva-

travel second class and try to catch

cedure and as I had a corner seat
I didn't fare so badly. We reached

A Denial
Editor of The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: May I be allowed space
in your valuable paper •to deny the
Changes of your correspondent, R. E.
C., who shows what type of man he
is when he refuses to sign his name
to the article. •
I am sure that the electors of
Tuckersrnith will agree with me that
ther'e is no more contemptible or cow-
ardly action a man could be guilty of
than trying to slander a fellow citi-
zen under the cover of obsourity. And
I wish 'to say to him that the state-
menes he made are absolutely false
and untrue.
In addition I feel sure that the in-
telligent citizens of this munici1 alit.
will resent the inference that they
would support the tactics outlined by
'this correspondent, and will agree
with nue that such procedure is be-
neath the contempt of honourable
men.
Thanking you, Mr: Editor, for the
above space.
