Old Business Changes Hands The oldest drug business in Hur- on County has changed hands, Ef- fective May 1, W. S. R. Holmes has disposed of his long-establish- ed business to Walter C. New- combe, Phm.B., Goderich, who is known to many residents of •this district. The latter ltook over this week. Mr. Holme. is one of Clinton's oldest bus'ness men. The business was start d by the late Jas. A. Combe about 85 years „ago, and was continued by his song the late Lt. 'Col• H. B. Combe, who died in 1945. The latter sold out to Mr. Holmes in 1905, following Mr. Holmes' graduation from Ontario College of Pharmacy. Mr. Holmes has enjoyed a growing patronage each year during the 45 years, but feels that he has reached thce age where the business requires a younger man. He states that He is not like the old mill stream that "goes on forever," and wishes to extend his appreciation to the many families he has served through several generations. His successor, Walter C. Newcombe, has been in the employ of H; C. Dunlop, druggest, Goderich, • for more than 20' years. He and , his wife and daughter, Mary Anne, shortly will take up residence in Clinton where already they have many friends. —• Clinton News - Record. Honored By Church Choir' On Thursday evening the regu- lar practice of the choir of Mel- ville Presbyterian Church was fol- lowed by.a farewell party and pre- sentation for Mietek Skowronski, who has been a valued member for two years. On May 1 he went to Tillsonburg to take up his new work. -Bill King expressed the re- gret of the ohoir at Mietek's de- parture and wished him success and happiness in his new home.

After thorough investiga- tion he reports that there are few- er alcoholics in rural than in urban areas. The rate of chronic alco- holism .in cities of 106,000 or more is higher by 33.7 per cent than in smaller towns and cities and high- er by 105 per cent than in rural areas Dr. Jellinek concludes that the greater the numbers of outlets for drinking the more people will drink. The Huron Temperance Federation has always maintained that to increase the outlets is to increase the consumption and the alcoholism, Huron County is for- tunate -that it Is a county of small towns and, rural areas. It is also fortunate that it is under the Can -1 ada Temperance Act, that does not provide for liquor outlets.—(Adv.).

The ad- vice dvice comes from the Experimental Farm at Swift Current, Sask., where special attention is given to farm engineering. Think of a brick wall. Here large pieces of baked clay (bricks) are held together with mortar. A mortar that is too "sloppy" oozes out, and, a weak wall will result. In many ways, concrete is sjmilar to a brick wall. Coarse material is held together by mortar. The mortar in this case is a mixture of sand, Portland cement, and water. This is mixed along with the coarse material all in the one operation. The strength of the mixture, when it has "sets," will depend up- on the amount of water used in re- lation to the cement. Note this point. It is the amount of water used in relation to the cement that is so important. The dealer from whom you buy your cement will be able to get useful bulletins on mixing and using concrete for you. Ask for "Quality Concrete" and "What the Farmer Can Do With Concrete." These are published -by the Port- land Cement Association. It pays to screen pit -run gravel. Then use the coarse and fine material according to the direr- tions. If too much fine material is used in relation to the coarse ma- terial, more cement will be requir- ed. At the Swift Current Station, most pit -run gravel contains too much sand. It was found that a man's wages could be,paid screen- ing the gravel. A good workman would handle enough material in an hour to save nearly one sack of cement. Properly graded aggregates (sand and gravel), the right amount of water and cement, will give a dense and strong concrete at a minimum cost.

For reason of mental and physical, as well as spiri- tual well-being, the idea of "CLEAN-UP AND BEAUTIFY" is one that will appeal to every right-thinking citizen. The outward appearance of a community often reflects the spirit of its citizens. How much more attractive Por visitors and tourists to see fresh -looking homes, stores and public buildings, with flowers, grass and trees in profusion. The Seaforth,. Chamber of Commerce requests the' citizens to make this "sprucing -up" their contribution to- ward civic improvement and public health for the coming season. For its part, the Local Chamber of Commerce has obtained. the full support of the Seaforth Fire Department in washing, down the Main Street. Street signs will be erected on Goderich St. West during the campaign. The Lions Club will hold its Annual Spring Salvage Drive oh Wednesday, May 17.
