To the Editor Dear Sir,— Once again you know how on* this northern coast. Wo have had a very busy summer. Over fifty In­ dians have been visiting our Mission while they were camping in the Fort fqr over three weeks. Services in the Indian language were held every evening and the church was nearly always filled. I held school for twenty Indian children as far as equipment and accommodation per­ mitted, We had four Indian mar­ riages and seven children were bap­ tized. On Wednesday, July 28th, the Govemer General visited Fort Norman on his trip to the Coast. We were pleased to entertain Lord Tweedsmuir and his party at the Mission. His Excellency presented us with nine books. I was privileg­ ed to climb Bear Mountain with the vice-regal party and also to- accom­ pany them to the burning coal ledges on the McKenzie River which .have been burning since Alexander Mc­ Kenzie first came down the river. Farmers in Ontario would be in­ terested to see the very fine oat fields in front of our Mission; oats over three feet high and well head­ ed. On Saturday, July 31st, Mrs. Jen- ning and myself flew down to Good Hope. I celebrated communinon in the Hudson Bay dwelling at three o’clock Sunda' afternoon. For six days we enjoyed a holiday and rest waiting to return on tlie S. S. Dis­ tributor. Here we met the vice-re­ gal part on its way out’ in two R. A. F. planes. On Wednesday, August 18th, I flew over to Great Bear Lake, El­ dorado Mines in the large Balanca 1 airplane capable of carrying fifteen d. 5 i A The wedding was solemnized .the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Box, Parkhill, c_ ___ ____ __ ghter, Lois Iva, to Lloyd William Pei\ hour.

At 10.30 o’clock a.m. service was held in the recreation hall. It was a difficult time for the miners to attend. I preached on “Christ the Rock.” The men seemed pleased to see me and expressed the hope that I would return in the winter time. Thursday at 1 .p.m. I left the mine on the boat The Grand Bear, taking up quarters in the captain’s cabin. The lake was very calm and the trip to the Bear River 210 miles was made in 2'2 hours. Here the boat un­ loaded empty gas drums and bags of pitchlblende concentrate; loaded forty tons of dynamite and returned. Taking up quarters for the evening on a barge at th,e head of the Bear River I waited for the next boat. August 21, Saturday morning, found me having breakfast sitting on a tin can with a packing box for a table. Breakfast consisted of eggs and ba­ con, strawberry jam and bread and butter. . The next boat, The Radium Lad, arrived from the head oif the rapids with a load of construction material I and dynamite. There ware 265 tons of pitchblende radium bearing con­ centrates on the dock at the head of the river. While the boat was loading I visited the cairn of rocks on the shore of the lake placed there by explorer Sir John Franklin. The Radium, made the trip to the head of the rapids in three hou^s. It takes fourteen hours to return so swift is the current. I" wonder if my readers can imagine ninety tons oif dynamite in one pile as I found it at the head of the rapids. After spending the evening on boat I walked over the splendid eight mile portage to the foot of the rapids. After the Silver Queen, the next boat had unleaded her freight I returned with her to Norman on .Sunday evening in three hours. The trip over and back was made in four, 'days, a record, over a week if _ ways, j Everybody I courteous and the crews and asters and rosebuds. ' jjy, which took place before a . of gladioli and 'asters, was per- ed.by Rev. A. Hilliard. The ding music was-‘played by Miss’ orcthy Box, sister of the bride. Following the wedding breakfast, served by the Misses Marjorie and Mabel Elliot, cousins of the groom, Mrs. F. Wasnidge, Miss I. Cosens and Miss R. Wade, Mr. and Mrs. Poore left by motor for a week’s honeymoon. The bride wore a blue gray tweed suit with black access­ ories. On their return they will re­ side on the groom’s farm in McGil­ livray. ELECTRICAL ASSISTANCE There are over two million house­ holds in Canada where women are busy preparing meals,' washing and iroiihig and doing the numberless tasks of homemaking. About half of these household have from six to nine rooms to keep clean, and about 7>0i0,000' of them have four to five rooms. The six thousand which- •have over 15 rooms1 are likely car­ ed for by several people and on the other hand one 'person would scarcely be a'ble to care for the one 1 ■room household of which there are 84,000. The average number of persons per household is four or five. The labor involved in keeping order’ in many homes is great but fortunately it is becoming less irk­ some. Mondays are no longer a day when the heated kitchen 'belches forth clouds of steam laden with the familial’ soapy smell. The electric washing machine quickly does its work with very little attention. More and more women are being made happier every year by one of these new appliances. In 1934 there were 88,000 electrically operated ma­ chines,. 4,00 0 gasoline operated and 13,000 haijg^machines produced in Canada. can picture the radiant facWd >e housewife w'hd own one of ,000- electric iron-, ers produced-d^st year.

On Sunday, September 12th we decorated our church for the Harvest Thanksgiving service. We used our own vegetables and flowers, pota­ toes, beets and carrots, lettuce, oats in sheaves, cal-undula, lavotera, cen- truaea, poppies and daisies. We have had a warm fall for these parts but it is colder now. On September 117th it was 74 degrees in the shade. Yours truly H, L. Jennings Do Not Accept a Substitute Insist On "Dr. Wood's" A T.

THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE EDITORIAL Well, the elections are over, And now for the fowl suppers and the taxes, ******** We don’t hear of so many women going’ alindherghing. ******** Next thing we’ll heai’ will be the sizzling of the Municipal Election pot. • *♦♦****. How much bettei’ the roar1 of the silo fillings than that of war planes. ******* * « The dilatory Bachelors are still bathing at the summei’ resorts. They don’t know that summer’s over, A day behind the plow, followed by fried potatoes and cold lamb and deep apple pie with cream. At the next meeting of the Dilatory Bachelors the subject will be “Sock Mending and Potato Boiling.” Word comes of a part of the country that has swallowed a . wheat field. That’s nothing! We know a farmei’ who swallowed a whole farm. ******** A frosty moonlight night, a mettled horse and fine girl, Well, there's nothing ifor it but a wedding ring and a visit to the parson and bliss unalloyed ever afterwards. ’ ******** The President of the Eligible Maidens says that her beau can­ not teach her to whistle, As soon as she gets her mouth into the propei’ position something else happens. u THE EXPLANATION People wondei’ why there are so many car accidents in the face of "so many newspaper warnings. But, you see, the majority of people who have such mishaps do not read the newspapers. WHY Farmers are, complaining that grain this yeai’ is below par in test. Why is this? We had abundance of moisture and sunshine and heat. What steps is our government taking to answer this question, that everyone knows to be of primary importance? ******** THEY DON’T KNOW HOW We were protesting to a large employ ex- of labour because he ■went favafield for his help. “You see it is this way,” he explain­ ed, “I would like to employ these fellows near home, but they simp- ' ' ly do not know how to work. They are not geared nor gruelled for a good stiff day’s work. They simply do not know how to endure. They can learn the technique of a job all very well, bur when it comes to sticking it, they simply are not there.” ****** ** FORTHRIGHT, Japan has told the .rest of the world that she has certain plans regarding China that she intends to- carry out, regardless of pro­ tests or. representations on their part. So there you are. Japan does not intend to shillyshally or to waste any time on notes that she has known to be but scraps of paper. She had no- faith in agree­ ments intended to be misread and misconstrued and violated on the first opportunity. She has her own plans and she intends carrying them out without asking anyone’s leave. She has no time for tongue-in-the-cheek diplomacy. Perhaps Japan with all her savagery is teaching something. Others besides governments will do well to take notice. ******** DOWNRIGHT TIRED OF IT Ontario has watched wearily fox’ the conclusion of the election campaign. A great many were anxious to- become informed on the issues of the day but were greeted with" a flow of verbal abuse simply nauseating. Plain people who toil and spin were anxious to hear business men talk to them intelligently oxx business matters but were greeted with'verbal pugilism degrading to anyone who lis­ tened thereto. For once Radio and all who had control thereof have proved recreant to a mighty txiust. Fortunately, the verbal sluggers overshot the maik. Few heeded them. If a firstclass heckler ox’ two had been beside every microphone we’d at least have had a little fun of a poor sort. Any feeble minded talkex’ can carry on when there is no one to educate him in good manners and fair dealing. It is a question if such- electioix ballyhoo affect the public as much as tihe tirades of a cheap’ midway performance at a cheap show affects the business life of the commonwealth. ******** WHAT TO DO ! As we read with shuddering horror of the ways of Japan with the Chinese, of the wilful butdlxer'y of women and children and of the murder of thousands of non-combatants, we wondex* why Bri­ tain does not take action. As we say this we should check up on ourselves by asking what practical support Canada is prepared to afford Britain should she turn her guns on Japan? What would we be doing as Japenese guns threw shells ihto Vancouver. Further, should we refuse to trade with japan and refuse hex’ sons entrance to o-ur borders and should Japan communicate with Ottawa asking the .reason for such action on oui’ part, what would we have to say in reply? Any school boy can give the answer. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Chinese are being slaughtered and Canada stands by like the poor craven bride of whom Scott sings, dangl­ ing her bonnet and plume, Britain, well knowing that should she again undertake the battle fox* fair play in China that Canada would afford her no effective support. Yet Canadians are critical of the attitude of Great Britain! Was ever position more humiliating to the beaver or to> any self-respecting nation? ***** *** WE MAY AS WELL FACE IT A friend visited the home of his childhood that he had not seen for 35 years. He was good enough to tell us of one thing that struck him. As was his custom, he attended church on Sunday morning. Naturally he went to the old home church. Thirty-five years ago this large church was so well attended that one needed to be on hand early to secure a seat. The choir in the old days Was up-to-date and the congregation hearty. But the change in three decades. Worshippers were like the Hielan’s man’s turnips one here and none there. Everything was bagging at the knees and down at the heels. And that in a centre where everything else seems prostperous, if one is to- judge by the numbers shopping In the Stores and the general appearance of the snug little town, This same Sort of thing is going on in nearly every centre. People are voting for the closing of Canadian churches fay hoh-at- tendance and by asking the church to cater to every whim and fancy of the passing show. We may aS well face the music. Facts remain. Why should we seek to deceive ourselves? THURSDAY, OOTORER 7th, ID37 Usborne Council Elimville, Oct, 2, 1937 The municipal council of Usborne Township met with all members present.

Confederation Life ' Association . Head Office Toronto F. J. DELBRIDGE, Representative, EXETER There is an unwritten law in the theatrical profession. Regardless of what happens—“the shoiv must go on!” In thousands of theatres throughout Ontario this same traditional rule still applies, but in a different way. Today, “the show must go on”—with Hydro. The “Talkies” and Hydro, bring to the cities and the small towns alike, the best the theatre offers in drama, music, comedy, while travelogues and news-reels bring a new form of education. Hydro also makes it possible to enjoy your theatre night right through the hottest season, with the aid of air conditioning and cooling systems, which the majority of theatres now provide. This same Hydro service that is essential for the “Talkies” is also necessary for night baseball, tennis, lawn bowling and other forms of night entertain­ ment and sport, which electricity now makes it possible to enjoy to a much greater degree. Thus in the realm of entertainment and sport—as in so many other phases of activity—Hydro—your Hydro—makes an essential contribution to a better, happier, healthier livelihood for the people of the Province of Ontario with its low-cost power. The success of Hydro in being able to lower power costs in the past two years in the face of a general increase in the price of practically everything we use, is a noteworthy achievement. Its continuous efforts to lower these power costs still further, and extend the benefits which accrue throughout the Province of Ontario, is a matter in which you should be vitally interested.
