Happy New Year
The past few years have, perhaps,
not been too happy ones for a great
many people in tOwn and country.
They have not been too happy on
the 'farm, and when the farmer is
not happy, he has not much to pass
along to the people in the towns, and
that is why the town merchants and
•business men have not been too hap-
py either.
But those years are past. At least,
it looks that way. The past harvest
Was a bountiful one. There is plen-
ty' of feed. Cattle and other farm
stock are climbing up in price. The
possibility is they will be still higher
in the spring. That spells prosper-
ity for the country, and when the
country is prosperous, so are the
towns and the villages.
And so we say A Happy New
Year! And a prosperous New Year
too. May 1939 be one of the best
years you have ever known. That is
our wish and hope for you.

' Money In Reforestration
Reforestration has become quite,
a common word to be heard in gen-
eral conversation in the country dis-
tricts in quite recent times. It is a
good word, too, and one that would
mean a lot of future, prosperity to
some people and a good deal of"pros-
perity to whole sections of the coun-
try, if it were put in active opera-
tion.
Not. all land, of course, is suitable
for reforestration purposes, b u t
there is some and in every tow-nship
of every county almost in Ontario,
that ,would pay a dividend through
reforestration, that would not show
a dividend under any other crop or
circumstances, and township and
county councils are doing the wise
thing by showing an awakening in-
terest and some action on this ques-
tion.
We were led to discuss. this sub-
ject through reading a number of
newspaper comments and articles on
reforestration as practised by Sir
William Mulock, a former Minister
in the Cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier, and recently Chief Justice of
Ontario.
Thirty years ago Sir William, al-
ready over sixty years of age, plant-
ed a large grove of black walnut
from seedlings on his estate. Since
then he has largely increased the
acreage, until it is now claimed he
has over a hundred thousand black
walnut trees on his property. And
those trees, it is said, are worth a
million dollars.
• A million dollars is a lot of money
and there are not many farms in On-
tario worth that amount of money
for their standing crops alone, but
the estimate of the worth of Sir Wil-
liam Mulock's black walnuts is not
much overdrawn, if at all.
A black walnut tree, of any size,
• would easily be worth ten dollars,
and a hundred thousand such trees
would just spell a million dollars, all
grown in the space of thirty years.
We have never seen an estimate of
what it cost Sir William to grow
these trees. It was not a simple
• Matter of planting them, and just
watching them grow. They had to
be cultivated and their 'owner has
given them careful and intensive
But figure the expenditure at any-

Has Brought Honor To Huron
County
4,14
The appointment of R. S. Robert-
son, K.C., of the law firm of Fasken,
Robertson, Aitcheson, Pickup & Cal-
vin, Toronto, as Chief Justice of On-
tario, has conferred a distinguished
honor upon Huron Cmmty.
The new Chief Justice is a native
of Goderich, and a brother of Mr.
W. H. Robertson, of the Goderich
Signal -Star. Mr. Robertson studied
law in the office of Garrow & Proud -
foot, in the county town, and start-
ed the practise of law in the City of
Stratford. Some twenty years ago
he went to Toronto, where he has
had a distinguished career at the
bar, and has become known as one
of the greatest legal minds in Can-
ada.
Mr. Robertson's appointment has
been received with very general ex-
pressions of commendation through-
out. the Province, and no where has
it met with greater pleasure and
gratification than in his home town
of Goderich and his native County
of Huron.

It Did Not Do Any Harm
It did not do a bit of harrn to close
the beer parlors at eight o'clock on
Christmas Eve. In fact we are in-
clined to the belief that it did a
whole lot of good.
We can not speak for the cities,
but up here in the country there was
nothing to mar the beauty of the
night. There were crowds of people
in the stores and crowds of people
on the streets. ,But there was not
one accident caused by trying to
drive cars with alcohol instead of
gasoline.
There were no painful sights and
no painful sounds. We do not mean
to claim there was no Christmas
cheer. No doubt there was plenty
of it, so no one so inclined was made
to suffer by the shortening of the lic-
ense hours.
But the good cheer as far as we
could see was not evident on the
streets, at least not the liquid kind.
There was plenty of other Christ-
mas cheer on the streets and every-
where else. however, so we say the
eight o'clock closing did not do any
harm.

County Council Appointments
To High School Board .
(The Municipal World)
Up to the end of 1938 county councils have
had the right to appoint three trustees to high.
school boards and boards of education in name •
icipalities not separated from the county, and
also to the boards in cities and separated towns
where notice was given that tee high schools
were open to county pupils on the same terms
as those in aremicipalities not sepOrated from,
the county. 'file three county representatives
were appointed for terms of three Tears, one re-
tiring each year.
During 1938 section 3 of The Boards of Edit-
catioru Act, and sections 13, 17 and 21 of The
High Schools Act, were amended to provide that
commencing January 1st, 1939, county councils
may appoint annually only one representative on
such botards, for a term of one year. This ap-
pears to mean teat all county appointees on such
boards retire at the end of 1938, whether their
terms are fit:dated or not, and the county coun-
cil may appoint one trustee only.
Although section 12 of The High Schools Act
has been amended to, read "Every 'high school
board shall consist of at least three trustees"
instead of six as formerly, the actual composi-
tion of such boards has not been altered except
that county appointees are limited to one, ap
pointed tor one year.

The Motor Horn
(Ottawa Journal)
The suggestion hhat nonne on motor vehicles
stould be abolished is not a good one, we think,
The thing wrong with the motor horn is not its
use but its abuve.
Proper use of the horn is a measure of safety.
It is used appropriately, and necessarily, when a
pedestrian crosses the street in front of a car,
without looking about for traffic, but the briefest
of toots will suffice. It is Oroperly used also
when one vefhicle turns out to pees another be-

• The Three Chamberlains
0
In recent neentes the name of the
British Prime Minister has been on
everybody's lips—Neville Chamber-
lain. A general loathing and detesta-
tion of war, conducted as it is, todaa
by wholesele Massacre of civilian,
populations, found expression in
praise of the ,statesman who had
been the leaeler in averting the threat
of war.
Whetter or not a continuing peace
lote been brought nearer it is still
too early to say. But that Mr. Cham-
berlain will sustain his efforts is
sure, and for a reasonable settlement
such as men • of good will everywhere
desire, it would seem that Great 1371-
tain would readily make actual and
not vicarious sacrifice.
When. Mr. Chamberlain took the
[helm he changed the ship's course.
He did not part with Mr. Anthony
Eden on a punctilio, but on grave dif-
ferences of method. In diplomacy it
has been sail le ton fait la chanson.
Mr. Chamberlain! abruptly changed
the tone. It is always arguable whe-
ther a ceatain, course is right or
wrong on, balance; of the short view
and the long. Not without some tem-
porary lose of prestige for the West-
ern Democracies was the catastrophe
averted. But the faults and mistakes
which had produced the desperate
situation' were committed long 'before.
Having cut the loss, Mr. Chamber-
lain "sees what he foresaw."
The Chamberlains, are realists. That
does not mean that they lack ideals.
But they know that without realism
ideals remain in the clouds.
Britain thad three closely related
Chamberlains in the forefront of Bri-
tish polities during the last 50 years.
That is a rare, if lath unprecedented,
occurrence. For father and s'on to
hold high office is not uncommon, but,
evens so, the early advancement of
the son is usually due to the paternal
influence. Williara Pitt, for example,
would never have been Prime Minis-
ter at 23 had he not been Chatham's
son.
Joseph Chamberlain, fatter of Aus-
ten and Neville, passed. on nearly a
'quarter of a century ago. He had ev-
ery qualifloation for political leader-
ship—strong personal ambition, in
tense driving force, clear vision, the
demagogic- touch which sways the
multitude, readietees in debate, sad a
• wer of invective which Made him
• itlable in attack.
Mies Goldie Cm -afield, 'who is to be

A. alacfie and Mrs. E. Evans. Lunch-
eon was served and after a few

Chosen For Outstanding Post
hecould do was to teach the British
people to "think imperially" and to
adv-ance his fundamentals of educa-
tional, social and economic reform.
"I hope to lay teen and deep," he
said, "the foundatione of that Imper-
ial It nion which tins my evert when
I look forward to the Riture of the
world." It was a grand and inspir-
ing ideal, but Lord Salisbury and
many other Conservatives of the old
school could never overconae their
rooted distrust of the one-time idol of
provincial rad i cal i sin and militant
nonconformity.
Next to Gladstone, Joseph Chamber-
lain was for a generation the most
dynamic figure in the British political
scene. Nothing daunted him. He
never rested. in office he was worth
half a score of ordinary Cabinet Min-.
laters and half a hundred rank and
file. At the Colonial Office, which
till ,hrie coming was a stagnant pool,
they called 'him "the master." In op-
position the was an adept with all the
Parliamentary weapons which con-
duce to it clean "kill." He had the
genius, in equal measure, of making
friends and enemies. John Morley
wrote lof tint: "His fidelity to a po-
litical ally is incomparable." Yet T.
P. O'Connor was by no means, the
only man who, with a vigor beyond
party resentment or honest rage,
spoke with rantoor against Joseph
Chamberlain,
Where, then, could the twO° keen-
-witted boys who call,ed lairn father
have found a more bracing and stim-
ulating upbringing than at Highbury,
with its orchids and its books and
its atmosphere of tallc-hadl, earnest,
controversial, inspiring talk, talk
which re -volved round big causes and
hard4ought political battles--s-mash-
ing .14am-tee and, dire defeats. It was
a home to produce practical and reso-
lute men of affairs. The two sons
more than fulfilled thte confident
hopes of the father, though the pat-
tern of his plants was altered by the
nature of events.
