S. and Mrs. Allan, Ilder- ton. Among those who were special- ly presented to the Prince of Wales on his recent arrival at St. John, N.B., were Brigadier and Mrs. D. A. Moore, of the Salva- tion Army. Mr. Moore is a well known Clintonian who now stands high in Salvation Army circles. Miss Lucy Levy, who has been on three weeks vacation in To- ronto with her aunt, Mrs. Terence Brady, has returned home. E., RaiKS, Arnprior, a for- mer CCI teaCher, was the guest of Mr. W. Brydone over the week- end, Mr. Rands assumed the prin- cipalship of the Listowol High School on Tuesday. James Delaney and F. Krus- kaup, who are farmers 1Y4 miles north of Dublin, have five acres of sunflowers, much of the crop standing eight feet high. The in- tention is to put the crop in silos to be used as feed. County repre- sentatives got some snapshots of the fields which are a novelty to people not accustomed to grow- ing sunflowers on such a large acreage. During my holidays I swore I wouldn't write a column about them when I got home, and bore everybody. And here I am, back at the kitchen table and the type- wfiter, the clock showing well past midnight, and " nothing to write about. But be adamant. I won't write a word about my holidays. • * I WON'T write a word about them. I won't write a . . what's that? You ' want to hear the whole story? Thank you, Mother. Maybe I'll just write one word, if my assistants will lock the doors quickly, so nobody can get away, and give everyone a benzedrine pill, I wouldn't want anyone to miss a word. It's so exciting. • * * Well, as threatened, we took this cottage at the beach, see? No, no, I didn't say we could see the beach. We could see a grocery store, three roads and some other cottages, • * In fact, the first day we were home from the cottage, I was sit- ting in the nice cool kitchen of our house, having a nice cool beverage, when I chanced to look out the window, drank in the nice cool view of our bay, and realized it was the first time I'd seen water for a week, without having to get in the car and drive Not that we didn't like the cot- tage. We did. It was a dandy and very well equipped. Too well, in fact, When I was a kid, and we were at the cottage, my mo- ther kept five of us busy, hauling pails of water from the lake, go- ing to the farm for eggs and milk, getting ice from the ice- house, and collecting fire wood ib the bush, * But at this cottage, everything Was electric, automatic, refrigera- 40 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, September 4, 1919 Miss Maple Livermore, Toron- to, visited her sister, Mrs. A. Mc- Cartney. this past week. Miss Livermore is to be congratulated on her success as an artist, hav- ing received two first prizes at the Canadian National Exhibition for her china painting. Nesbit Cook was in Toronto last week attending the Exhibition and seeing the Prince of Wales. Nesbit might have had a handshake with the Prince only there were so many in line ahead of him that he concluded his turn wouldn't come until about four a.m., so he didn't wait. Miss Nora Kennedy left on Monday to take charge of her first school at Mildmay. Mrs. John Scarlett, Walton, has taken up her residence in Clinton. She will reside with her sister, Miss Lovett, who has purchased a house on Mill Street. 25 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, September 6, 1934 While plowing on the Broadfoot farm, Tuckersmith, Walter Dale noticed a bird's nest in a tree which had something unusual a- bout the material of which it was built. He took it down and un- wound a $1 bill from the twigs ted and indoors. There were' no chores for the kids, and they hung around the cottage like 'coons around a garbage can, pestering for somebody to go swimming with them, or play that fascinat- ing card game known as Fish. First three days of my holi- days it rained relentlessly, 24 hours a day. The first day, de- termined to enjoy myself, I ignor- ed the rain, just sat around and drank beer and read, But I found these recreations, taken together for any length of time, make the eyes bloodshot. * * So, at the end of ten hours of teeming rain, I decided to get out of the slump by sitting in front of the fireplace. This, however, tended to become desolate after a few hours, as a fireplace, nor- mally a cheery Spot, isn't much without a fire, and I had forgot- ten to bring some wood in before the rains come. * The fourth day dawned fine and clear, though, and I was all set to start some healthy outdoor recreation, like sitting in a deck- chair with a book and a bever- age. So my wife say8 we have to go to town and wash, we haven't a clean shirt left among the bunch of us, I spent most of the day in my Own kitchen in town, putting stuff through the wringer, But after that we settled right in to enjoy cottage life. Oh, we did slip into town Wednesday night to see a movie we didn't want to miss, And we had to come to town Thursday to turn in the empties and pick up the mail. And Friday we were in town, for a few hours getting (Continued on Page Five) etc., of which the nest was built. The bill was somewhat tattered and torn, but on being presented at the bank, it was sent to head- quarters for exchange. Miss Bawden and Mrs. Gordon Lawson were hostesses at a show- er held at the former's apartment in honor of Miss Pearl Churchill, a bride-to-be of the month. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Middleton, Goderich Township, are spending a few days at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. Archie Ballantyne and Miss Garnis, Brussels, spent the week- end as guests at the home of the former's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George Roberton. The visit- ors assisted the choir of Wesley- Willis Church at the evening ser- vice and rendered a pleasing duet. 10 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, September 1, 1949 When a flash fire, originating in an upstairs bedroom, was dis- covered in their farm home in Tuckersmith Township, Mr. and Mrs. George L. Falconer were burned and had a narrow escape from much more serious conse- quences. "The White School", SS 1, Tuckersmith, celebrated its 50th anniversary with a reunion of graduates and former teachers. 300 persons were present, includ- ing 80 graduates. Clinton Women's Institute held their annual Grandmother's day on the spacious lawn at the home of Mrs. A. F.

Prueter, toodhager4 Selwyn Baker, Brussels; Munroe, Seaforth, THE REQUEST from Huron County for a vote for and against repeal of the Canada Temperance Act in this county has been taken to the Secretary of State at Ottawa. We feel there is need for clear thinking with regard to this action being taken by hund- reds of citizens of Huron. Too often, when the CTA is being considered, there is an emo- tional viewpoint taken which centres mainly around the question of Temperance versus Abstinence. Our opinion is that a man's decision to drink, or not to drink, can not be legislated. To allow the sale of alcoholic beverages to min- ors, is an unwise thing, We also believe that consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors is very unwise. However, these opinions are our • own, and we would defend the right of any one to dif- ferent opinions on the subject. The proposed vote for and against the CTA., Is purely a question of law. Neither of the Acts which are applicable in the matter of drinking regulations, can stop a man from drink- AIN WRITTEN FROM an almost outside point of view, though doubtless with an interested eye, is an investigation of the "Canadian Farm paradox" as put down by an Ottawa writer for the American publication, Christian Science Monitor, in a recent issue. This writer considers vertical integration and notes the concern of farm groups for the loss of individual control of farm products by the farmers through this. He recalls that it was the mandate which rural areas gave the progressive conservative party, which has lead to action by the department of Agriculture of Canada to set up a system of deficiency •pay- ments, for which farm people were asking. But, says the writer, only six weeks went NO, CH I LDREN don't regard school in that way. There's an eager bounce in the step of young folk this week, as they purchase a new pencil and ruler -to take to a new desk next Tuesday. They're chatting about their new teacher, or about renewing acquaintance with one they knew last fall. They're looking for- ward to meeting their classmates, and finding out what happened to their friends throughout the long hot summer. The streets are alive with 'teen-agers al- ready. They're looking over what's new in books, and supplies, and some are trying out the new idea of leather briefcases, just like the junior executives carry. This is a far cry from the old leather strap which used to hold tight the texts and notebooks of a past and done decade "LORD, IMPRESS upon me the great re- sponsibility that is mine as I take the wheel of my automobile. As I need thy guidance in all things, so now especially do I when I have life and death in my hands. "Give me always a deep reverence for and a desire to protect human life. When I would be careless, remind me of homes where there is sorrow and loneliness, of the hospitals where broken suffering bodies lie in anguish because someone forgot. "'Write indelibly on my conscience that each time I take the wheel of my car I am a poten- tial murderer; that in a few careless moments I could be face to face with dire tragedy for my own family as well as for others. "Give me grace to practice the Christian virtues of patience and thoughtfulness at all CANADIAN AGRICULTURE, shocked by the American Farm Bureau's demand for a tariff against Canadian pork equal to the federal deficiency payments, has received another jolt. The U.S. Tariff Commission recommends that Canadian rye imports be cut in half. Actually Canada sells U.S. 98 per cent of the rye she _ WE WONDER hoW• *long this fashion for toothpick toes and razor sharp heels on ladies' shoes, will last. If innocent bystanders have anything to do with it, the fashion should be short-but short. Some of the shoes look as if they would make good murder weapons, and it's murder when a too fetches you a clip in the ankle or a heel comes down on your instep. ing if he wishes, nor can they make him drink if he does not want to. In repealing the CTA, if Huron decides to do this, the people of the county will merely be changing the law under which they are governed with regard to alcoholic beverages. Legally, we believe that the Ontario Liquor Control Act, has more "teeth" in it, under modern circumstances, than the CTA. has. We believe that a law that states it is illegal to sell to minors: illegal to be drunken in a public place; illegal to drink in cars; illegal to drink in any place other than a licensed area, or in one's own home, is a better law for Huron people, than one which ignores these things. Now, when the people of Huron are pre- paring for their vote on this matter, they should keep clear in their own minds the facts that they are not voting for more drinking, nor for less. They will be voting for the law, under which they wish the drinking habits of the people of Huron to be controlled. It will be up to them ,to decide which law they want to be governed under, by after the announcement of deficiency pay- ments on hogs and eggs before three of Can- ada's largest feed concerns announced they were reducing or cancelling completely, hog contract financing operations. This has resulted in many farmers finding they can no longer get easy credit to finance purchase of weanlings, and feed for them. The article also points out that farmers next turn to the government for easy credit, and comes to the conclusion that this, too may lead to certain supervisory rights, from govern- ment. And the question which is posed, is whether it is better to have supervision of farm products and their growth and sale, by the government, or by industry? which we older folk remember. School is not a dreadful place — and only becomes so when young people are trying to do some studying which is above and beyond them, or when some other young people are deliberately causing an upset in class so that no one can study. The ability to learn, and the great enjoy- ment which comes from accomplishing some task in learning, is a thrill to anyone, young or old. All of us have experienced it in some line, or other. All of us look forward to learn- ing more as years go by. Let's encourage our young people to get full enjoyment out of the experience of learn- ing. Through this will come satisfaction in school, and in the great, full life to come after- ward. times. Help me to show the same courtesy and kindness to other motorists that I want to ex- pect from them. "When others exceed the speed limit or otherwise break the law, let me not be tempted to do the same. Forgive my stupidity if I ever think it is permissible to violate traffic laws so long as I do not get caught. "Remind me often that I am responsible to Thee as well as to the state to obey the ordinance of the highway, and when I do not, I sin against Thee as well as against my fellow men, even though nobody else may be watching and to accident may result. "Lord, grant me control of my car and of myself at all times. Help me to live lawfully and peaceably, to save life and not destroy it; and so by example lead others to do the same. Amen." —Anonymous. imports and this action would be a hardship for producerS who grow specially for this trade, President Eisenhower previously vetoed such a proposal and may give Canada a helping hand again. Incidentally this rye is grain, not the bottled variety.—London Free Press, August 13. The shoes look charming when they are displayed in a shop Window but they look some- thing less than graceful under the weight of hefty females with weak ankles. It would never do to criticize the shoes from the point of view of whether or not they are practical. The un- practical aspect is what gives them charm. What we don't like about them is that the people who wear them defeat the charm. — Manton (Alta.) News). OUTSIDE VIEW BACK TO THE STONE PILE?
