Mr, Langford will have subagents at the principal parts of the County before next spring, One of the Inspectors of Toronto Public Schools recently remarked on the large number of teachers from the County of Huron who are employed in the various Toronto schools, and then made this state- ment: " I do not know how to ac- count for it, but my experience is that the very best teachers we have are those who come from Huron. Whether it is their particular training, or natural ability, I ant not prepared to say, but I am stating what I believe to be a fact." This is quite a compliment to for- mer teachers from Huron. With a blowing of whistles and a clanging of bells, the 1918 Vic, tory Loan campaign was ushered in at 9 o'clock Monday morning when Clinton started out to raise $60,000. The first bond was bought by Mrs. Arthur Forbes, the second by Master jick Rellyar. 40 YEARS AGO Clinton News-Record Thursday, October.31, 1918 - A, disastrous fire visited Varna about six o'clock last Thursday ev- ening when the blacksmith shop and garage of E. H. Epps and Son were- burned and for a time it looked as if several other build- ings might also be destroyed. The fire was the result of an explosion which scattered several gallons of gasoline about, Practically noth- ing was saved and the loss is a heavy one there being, no insur- ance, It has not been considered nec- essary to establish an emergency hospital, as has been done in so many towns, but three committees are appointed, one to look after the nursing of those ill with influenza, Mrs. Andrews being convener; one to see that proper -food was pre- pared and sent where needed, Mrs. W.

The Act deserves a realistic look,' 'and an attempt to improve the situation can not be put off much longer. If the intentions of the CTA were adhered to, then the situation in Huron and Perth would be the best, probably, in Canada, as far as temperance is concerned. But, the fact remains that it is an out-dated Act, and its terms are no longer realistic. Be- sides that, there is continued flouting of the meaning of the Act, and the loopholes which it contains are being used to the utmost. This encourages contempt for the law. It is not good.

It will be known as "Clinton Day," , the name having been chosen for the reason that it is short and seem- ed to express in brief form just what the day would be. Clinton stores will have bargains galore for everyone, and they will be real bargains, too. All the merchants in town are cooperating in assur- ing the success of the event. Our advice is to watch for next week's issue of the News-Record for a listing of great shopping bargains. Rehearsals are under way for the big home talent show to be pre- sented by the Canadian Legion on Wednesday and Thursday evenings next, in the Town Hall, Clinton, for the benefit of the new Build- ing Fund, There are ten scenes in this big show including a Barn Dance- Scene, Children's Story Hour Scene, Tom Breneman's "Breakfast in Hollywood," and Dr. I.Q.

Smiley) us, the sight of a bonfire, and the smell of it on the autumn air is a delightful thing, indeed. We had never thought that anyone was having difficulty with the smoke. We beg their pardon for ignoring their misery. However, when we get down to cases, and state that a person is- entitled to freedom from other people's smoke — then there is the quest- ion of freedom of people to smell other people's smoke if they want to, We like it. We'd feel lost in the autumn without it. In fact if the world ever gets to the antisep , tic dust-free paradise that some people seem forever striving for, then we'll be glad we died a thousand years before. Consider a youth spent without mud-pies. Consider a life spent without the discipline of "having to dust- the furniture." Consider the dullness of an autumn day without the smell of leaves and burning leaves on the air! WE WERE MADE quite unhappy 5y corn- ment in a near by editor's column that some- thing official should be done about the nuisance of bonfires. He contended that those who suf- fered from sinus attacks and other related nasal disorders found it difficult to put up with the. other fellow's smoke. He went on: "Certainly a person should not be obliged to suffer from someone else's =smoke any more than he should have to listen to, his dog barking all night or be disturbed by his children. Free- dom is a great thing — as long as it isn't pro- cured at the other fellow's expense." Now, we may be a bit of a romantic, but personally we find that the fall season is par- ticularly beautiful, and it attracts cur sense of smell as well as our sense of sight.. True the sight of the lovely autumn coloring is a fine thing, indeed. • But the smell of the leaves is delightful— and it is made better by the smell of bonfires, and those same leaves burning. To If people paid any heed to the warnings, dire predictions, and ap- palling statistics with which they are assailed on every hand, the •entire race would be made up of drivelling cowards, cringing under their respective beds. * * Reach for a coffin nail with your morning paper and coffee, and a headline jumps at you: SMOKING AND LUNG CANCER.

And surely one cannot refrain from cheering on the man with the bum ticker, who, retired after thirty years in a sedentary job, immediately starts working like a navvy building, tearing down, fet- ching and carrying, shovelling snow and cutting grass and gen- erally showing a fine scorn for living to a good old age. * It must be exasperating to scien- tists, traffic authorities, temper- ance people, tax collectors and doc- tors, but there's something un- beatable in human native., It's A sort of massive, charming stupid- ity and recklessness that has made people ignore all warnings, and still keep rolling through all sorts of misadventures and disasters, ever since the day Eve was warned not to fool around with that apple, (The Acton EACH YEAR with the adVent of Farm Forum activity we can't help but admire the fact that -farm people gather together weekly to exchange opinions, trade views and discuss subjects that vitally concern them. From information concerning the season's activity it would appear the subjects will be' just as stimulating, topical and controversial as could be hoped for.

What does this mean for Canadian Agricul- ture? Well, during January every Monday evening, National Farm Forums will try to find out. This is one instance. Over the year more than a dozen subjects will be touched by For- ums. From the discussions can come one of the best cross sections of opinion depending on the number of those who choose to participate in the programs. To our way of thinking such discussions should rank high in interest, attention and par- ticipation for the rural residents.

We are quite confident that the medical' practicioners associated with Kincardine General Hospital will continue to exercise restraint and use common sense in the matter of hospital ad- missions. In so doing, they are bound to cause some ill-feeling among that type of patient who insists that he or she has paid for certain services and is going to get them, the question of their ;Ives essity being a side matter of little importance. There are times when the hospital is far from filled and qther occasions when it is filled to overflowing. In the latter instance, this represents a time When the accommodation is required for seriously ill, not these who have permitted themselves, through self-delusion, to imagine they require hospital services.
