In the Municipal Field
If the, early nominations for the
December municipal elections
throughout Huron are any indica-
tion, it would appear that the rate-
payers were pretty well satisfied
with their present representatives.
As far as the County Council is
concerned, there were nominations
for nine seats out of a total council
of twenty-nine members. Of these,
Goderich Township gave an acclama-
tion to Mr. Wilmot Haacke, while
East Wawanosirand TUrnberry also
returned their present reeves, Mr.
Peter Scott and Mr. R. Grain in like
manner. Both Mr. Haacke and Mr.
Scott are experienced cOuncillors,
both having represented their town
-
shin at the County Council for some
years, while Mr. Grain will be serv-
ing his second term. Mr. J. E, Huck -
mg, who received an acclamation
for the deputy reeveship in Goderich
town, will be a new face at the Coun-
ty,Vouncil.
Mr. Owen Geiger, the father of
the County Council, is to receive op. -
position for the reeveship in Hensel!.
In Goderich there will. be a stiff fight
for the reeveship between Mr.. J. J.
Moser, the present reeve, and Mr. R.
E. Turner, the present deputy reeve.
In kAshfield Township, Mr. Mur-
dock Matheson, whb has been reeve
for a number of terms, is being op-
posed by Mr. Richard Johnston, a
former county councillor. There is
also to be a contest for the deputy
reeveship in Ashfield, the present
deputy, 'Mr. 'Samuel Sherwood, being
opposed by Mr. Gilbert Frayne. In
West Wawanosh. Mr. W. J. Stewart,
who for a number of years has re-
presented his township at Goderich,
is being opposed by Mr. John Mc -
Quillen.
Elections in these constituencies,
will be held on Monday next, De-
cember 7th.
Decrease In Unemployment -,
The Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics repOrted this week that employ-
ment at the 'first of November had
reached the highest level of any
month since November 1, 1930.
Those are encouraging figures
whose import is well born out by
conditions as one sees, them locally
and throughout the county.
Unemployment relief has been one
of the main topics of conversation
for the past five years and each year
conditions seemed. to become more
critical.
Likewise it was one of the most
vexed questions that has engaged
the attention and consideration of
municipal councils in some decades.
SO far this winter, and there has
been anemusual amount of snow and
mid weather for so early in the sea-
son, the question of unemployment
and relief,. as we notice by a perusal
of municipal council minutes in both
towns' and country, has occupied a
very minor part in council proceed-
ings. From holding first place, it
figs dropped back to being jut cas-
00,1 routine business.
NO doubt the people whose hoines

help, it is true, but all of them on the
move.
This winter there is a difference.
Not ali the transients. have —disap-
peared by any means, but their num
bers are few and far between to
what they were even a year ago.
It would appear as if most of
those transients who really wanted
work, had found ite anti the rest, of
them, perhaps a majority, were be-
ing offered it so often in place of a
handout, that they were becoming
discouraged.
At any rate, employment condi-
tions have .decidedly improved and
the people of Ontario should be deep-
ly thankful for it.

Travelling For Nothing
For a year or two back we have
'noticed, particularly in Western pa-
pers, repeAted references made to
the new invention of a Winnipeg en-
gineer, whose claims for his inven-
tion seemed to be so fantastic as to
be beyond the realms of truth or
even the flight of imagination.
The claims of this engineer, Pogue
by name, were that he had invented
a carburetor which would enable an
automobile to travel two hundred
miles, on an ordinary road, under
ordinary Weather conditions, on a
single gallon of gasoline.
Have you got that -200 miles to
the gallon? Sounds like a fairy tale,
doesn't it? Well, it is said that fairy
tales sometimes come true. At any
rate it -now appears that there might
be an element of truth in the claims
of this Winnipeg invehtor.
Mr. Pogue- says he has tested his
new carburetor in an automobile
trip from Winnipeg to Vancouver
and return. And it worked.
But we are not taking his word
for it.. What is more to the point is
that The Financial Post is authority
for the statement that Mr. John
Hammel, the well known mining mil-
lionaire, is making a special test o1
the carburetor, and is, it is said, pre-
pared to supply the money to put it
on the market.
•Two hundred miles to the gallon!
Toronto and back for a quarter!
That is about as near to travelling
for nothing as even the heart of a
Scotchman could wish.
If true, even if there is a semblance
of truth in the claim, it means a
revolution in transportation. It
means there would be an exodus
from the villages, towns and farms
to the highways and the cities. And
don't the former three suffer a little
too .much now from absentee treat-.
ment?
And what would this new inven-
tion, this 200 miles to the gallon, do
eto the Government gas ax?t
Wouldn't it simply play hob with
Mitch Hepburn's balanced budgets?
But before we go any further in-
to the realms of conjecture, wouldn't
it be well to give some thought to
the reaction of the gas and oil com-
panies on thia new carburetor ques-
tion. Wouldn't they raise the price
of gas to meet this new competition?
Or do you think they wouldn't?
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Six Churches in One Village
(Brockville Recorder and Times)
Travelling about the countryside, one Is struck
by not only the apparently excessive number of
rival church,et in Anal] communities which can-
not hope properly to support all of them but by
the tnanner in which churches belong to the same
;communion exist within two or three miles of
one another. And very few of them are other
than struggling congregations which often ex-
Perience difficulty in, 'meeting, thein own commit-
ments apart altogether from supporting external
antiseionary or other prOjects.
We know of one community in the county of
Leeds of little more than 700 'Mots which possess-
es at least six churches, each of them affiliated
with a, different coManundon. And we knew of
seaallmitres, situated not mere,.thau th,ree Miles
1
apart hich bothpossess Neither of them is at
all thriving and both of. thein experience diffi-
culty in keeping going.
0 reason prevailed, two or three of the church-
es in the village in question would WS closed and
the remaining .elturches given a chance to func-
ton properle. If reneon also nvrevailed, the
elinrehes of the olio dhmlnation situated two or
three mites apart would join hands and Make
their -position More secure.

S. S. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 6th
Lesson Topic—Paul's Patting Coun-
sels.
Lesson Passage—I Timothy 6:6-16; I
Tirrinthy 4:16-18.
Golden Text—fl Timothy 4:7. ,
Timothy was. converted under
Paul's teaching and became a friend
and co -laborer in planting and water-
ing • churches, Paul 'commissioned hire
to remain at Ephesus for some time
to perfect the good work begun there.
On two ,oecasices Paul wrote hiln'let-
tele called Epistles and from these
to -day's lesson is selected. They con-
tain his parting counsel as follows,:
But godliness, - with contentment is
great gain. For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we
can carry nutting ,out. And,. having.
food, and raiment, let us be therewith
cretent. But they that will be rich
fall into tee itation and a snare and
into many foolish and hurtful lusts,
which drown men in destruction and
perdition. For the love of money is
the root of all evil: which While some
coveted after, they have .erred ftem
the faith, and pierced, theinselves
through with many sorrows. But thou
0 man of God, flee these things; and
follow after righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight
the good fight of „faith, lay hold on
eternal life, whereunto thou art also
called, and hast professed a good pro-
fession before many witnesses. I
give thee charge in the eight of God,
who quickeneth all things, and before
Christ Jesus, 'who before Porltiut,
witnessed a good confession, that
thou keep this commandment without
spot, unrebukable, until the appear-
ing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
in His times He shall show, who is
the blessed and only Potentate, the
King of kings and Lord of lords; who
only , hath immortality, dwelling in
the light which no man hath seen
nor can see: to whom be -honor and
power everlasting,. Amen. • •

him to plead bis cause, to bear testi-

WORLD MISSIONS
The People of Honan, China
With regard to the people we might
say first of all that they are surpris-
ingly like us An,glaSexons, some
would say, evenmore specifically, the
Scotch. You must not imagine the
"inserutable oriental" when you think
of a North' Horan Chinese. He is
materialistic •and matter-of-fact in bis
outlook but veryhuman and, fond of
fun. A culture of thousands of years
has given him an innate • courtesy
which even illiteracy and grinding
poverty cannot impair. In fact, the
Chinese nioral, outlook is mainly so
cial. One •difference .between him
and a westerner is that he looks up-
on harmonious personal relationships
as the aim of conduct, whereas we
are more concerned with absolute
principles such • as honesty; loyalty
and courage, Another trait of char-
acter which is 'pert of the same mor-
al outlook is what is called "face."
