PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, November 23 T Roy Patterson In the sudden passing this week, in his 59th year, of Mr. T. Roy Patter- son, Huron County- has lost the ser- vices of an outstanding public serv- ant, who for nearly thirty-two years occupied the position of county en- gineer. Recognized throughout the Prov- ince and beyond as an authority on road maintenance problems, Mr. Pat- terson in the course of his duties in Huron, developed methods of con- struction and maintenance that have been adopted by many municipali- ties. His wide knowledge of all prob- lems affecting his department re- sulted in the saving of many thou- sands of dollars for the County. Of a quiet and retiring nature, Mr. Patterson was happiest when in the family circle, or among old friends. He never permitted personal desires, however, to stand in the way of his duty as a citizen. He gave freely of his time and abilities on behalf of many organizations. His quiet, com- mon sense approach to problems was a large factor in the success which attended so many projects with which he was associated through the years. Those many citizens throughout the County who during his long years of municipal service, learned to know and appreciate his qualities, will join in extending to his bereav- ed family their sympathy in the pass- ing of a devoted husband and father, and a faithful public servant, • :overnment ,l3or ds a � for the Bank of Canada to notify dealers each day the prices at which, subject to change at any time, it was prepared to buy bonds, and similar- ly the prices at which it was prepar- ed to sell. These prices were changed from time to time in accordance with mar- ket conditions. In January, 1948, the bank an- nounced that it was reverting to its pre-war practice of dealing in gen- eral only in response to bids and of- fers initiated by other buyers and sellers in the market, and there has been no change in its usual practice since that time." During recent weeks there have been reoccurring suggestions to the effect that in some manner the Gov- ernment, or the Bank of Canada, had taken action that was reflected in a lowered price for long-term Govern- ment bonds. The rumors were set at rest in a statement given in the House of Commons on ?Monday by James Sinclair, Parliamentary As- sistant to the Minister of Finance. Mr. Sinclair pointed out that it is not the policy of the Government, or of the Bank of Canada, to- cause a fall—or for that matter, a rise—in the market price of government bonds. "That price, in the interval be- tween the time of issue df the bonds and the date on which they fall due for payment, is a reflection of vary- ing conditions which affect the desire of bondholders to sell and of persons to buy." For example, the market value of some long-term bonds rose after the Second World War as high as 105 (a $100 bond would sell for $105) and remained above 100 for more than five years. "Since last March, however, the prices of the longer -dated bonds have been several points below 100, though the shorter -dated issues have re- mained at or close to par." Commons members had only to look to what was happening in the 'United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries, said Mr. Sinclair, to realize "that it is not government policy or central bank policy in any 'western country to seek to maintain a fixed level of world prices of inter- est rates." Referring to a wartime practise, terminated nearly four years ago, of issuing quotations of the price at which the Bank of Canada would purchase bonds of various issues, Mr. Sinclair pointed out, it was not a practce of supporting the market, ,Ifilt a question of trading methods. "Ufing :the war the practice was • Apple Pie The Canadian Tourist Associatioo has in its organization a committee which concerns itself with the meals served in tourist establishments across Canada. The committee hopes that in improving the attractiveness of the food served visitors to Canada, there will result an increase in the tourist industry. In a cookbook recently issued by the association, the committee thinks apple pie "should be" the national dish of Canada. Somebody who obviously has had a broad experience with apple pie, writes in the Port Arthur News - Chronicle as follows: "If there is a suggestion of hesita- tion or mental reservation in the phrase `should be' it is understand- able.. Members of the committee probably have had their experiences. Like others, they know that, while blueberries and cream, which has al- so been suggested as the national dish, are blueberries and cream wherever they are served, apple pie is dependent largely on where it is served. It also is dependent on the kind of apples that are used. "The variation in apple pie covers the wide range between that which is found in some public eating places and what is served in the home where the housewife really knows how to use this fine Canadian fruit. "On the one hand there is the pie made with -.pale, anaemic, soggy crusts encasing half -cooked apples still in the crunchy stage.. "On the other hand is �`',ie pie made with a nicely d' ie crust, tasty brown and "" crumbly enough to dissolve in the mouth. Between crusts are the cooked apples, with sweet juice oozing out like a tasty syrilii. This kind of apple pie is found most- ly in the homes as distinct from the public places v,'here this art of cook- . ing has yet to be developed in keep- ing with the possibilities of the sit- uation." There is no doubt about it, apple pie baked by some one who appreci- ates the finer points of cooking and who really knows just what a- proper apple pie should be, could attract many tourists. On the other hand, like the Port Arthur writer, we have had personal experience with apple pies that, if eaten by tourists, would undo all the work of the association for years to come. What Other Papers Say Candid Friend Tells About Mr. Churchill Changes In a Lifetime (Fort William Times -Journal) Changes which come within a life- time might be illustrated by setting before a group of present-day 'teen- agers a checker board and checkers, a chess board and men, a crokinole board, a set of dominoes and a par- chesi board. Only a slim minority of the younger people would have the slightest idea what to do with them. (From an article by Alistair Forbes, long-time friend of the Churchill family, writing to the New York Times Magazine from London). Winston Churchill frequently gratified his fondness for travel, particularly to climates more clement than that of England in winter. Not since the traditional "English milords" went on the Grand Tour has such an impres- sive entourage ventured abroad. Mr. Churchill travels nowhere without his valet. The latter gets a good deal of assistance from the two detectives who everywhere watch over his master. • New Rules About Effort (The Printed Word) An obscure group of idealists con- tends that there is an astonishing amount of satisfaction to be obtain- ed from trying s hard as one can to do things well. The gener istory of the efficacy of effort as a way to satisfaction is not being tested very hard nowa- days and hereabouts. The rule has become that parts of five days shalt thou labor and do some of thy work, getting off as early Friday afternoon as thou canst and staying off an ex- tra day if thy regular day off falleth on a national holiday. when he rests, as the does at least once a day, he undresses fully and gets into bed. He takes a hot bath twice a day; never more then twice, though he likes to brush his teeth more often than thaL He finds the English climate a bit cold for swimming nowadays and does not often use the beauti- ful pool which he ,himself built at Chartwell and into which he ondt;, for a bet, jumped in full evening dress, saying that he had often wondered what it would feel like. He uses the telephone when it is convenient, but is far from being an addict and he has never mas- tered the automatic dialing sys- tem. Legend relates that he is a glut- ton, as malice repeats that the drinks overmuch. Nothing could be further from the 'truth- He eats with a good appetite and keeps a good table, nothing more. He has very little palate for wine. The, joys of claret and bur- gundy are a closed book to him. Champagne, however, has been his staple beverage for many years. He once asked his statistician friend, Lord Cherwell, to work out how many carloads of it he had drunk in bis lifetime and was quite dis- appointed to Iearn that it could all be drawn behind one locomotive. After a meal, Mr. Churchill, like most Europeans and many Ameri- cans, likes to drink brandy. But be never drinks "brandy and soda," as I have so often seen it put about. Scotch and soda, yes; but that is something he always has beside him sometimes well before midday. But they are the weakest Scotches ever poured off the stage, and Mr. Churchill sips them so slowly that he will often be nurs- ing the same glass for two or three hours. Two secretaries complete what Mr. Churohill requires as the minimum attendance upon him, ev- en for the shortest journeys. The truth is that he sees no reason to be uncomfortable now that he is wealthy enough to be without discomfort. He has earned every penny of bis fortune and he spends it in such a way as to make his life more agreeable so that it will tax his energy as little as possible. These are neither as extravagant nor as eccentric as souls people pretend. Mr. Churchill breakfasts in bed but not on porridge or cof- fee Iaced with brandy, as some American papers have suggested. In or out of office he reads ev- ery paper he can get. In or out of office his correspondence comes to him in the iron "boxes" which are a part of the ministerial furniture n England. His secretaries must dec?de what matters are sufficient- ly important to rate "top of the Sox," Mr. Churchill does a great deal of his work in bed.

Christmas Gift Suggestions from The Huron Expositor BRUCE and BETTY Everyone Likes a Gift Especially When It's Only Bare Essentials On Livestock Certificates A standard registration certifi- cate applicable to all breeds of livestock and acceptable to all breed associations with informa- tion reduced to the bare essentials was the main proposal suggested at a joint meeting of delegates of about 25 breeders' associations and officials of the Department of Agri- culture. The new arrangement, if endors- ed by the associations at their re- spective annual meetings, will re- sult in a simpler and prompter livestock registration service on the part of the Canadian Nation- al Live Stock Records to all Cana- dian anadian breeders. On the other hand, associations themselves will have a larger share of the responsibilities which have piled up with time and, for the last 45 years, have been assumed in most cases by the Can- adian National Live Stock Records Office. Specific proposals adopted at this Ottawa meeting and which again will have to be submitted to the breeders can be summarized as fol- lows: (1) The inclusion on registration certificates of the minimum of in- formation required to establish identification and ancestry. (2) The use of standard certil- cate of registration by all assolia- tions. 3. The discontinuance of the plac- ing of special deposits to the credit of an association by the Canadian National Live Stock Records Of- fice. 4. The transfer from the Re- cords Office of such duties and ser- vices as may be adequately con- ducted by association secretaries. Additional services now given in- clude collection of membership fee arrears; preparation of a member- ship list for the annual meetings; interpretation of inaccuracies in constitution and by-laws; settle- ment of disputes among members, etc. The adoption of the above pro - (Continued on Page 7) Party -Accessories personalized with name or monogram . . . what a clever way to say Merry Christ- mas'.
