THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL -VISITS CLINTON
The very brief visit of Hie Excellency, Viscount
Alexander, Governor-General of Canada, to Clinton
yesterday noon, served to indicate the kind of man
• who is serving his King as the latter's representative in
this member -nation of the British Commonwealth.
The fact that His Excellency, at the wired sug-
gestion of Clinton Board of Education, consented to take
some time off, while passing through Clinton by train en
route to open the International Plowing Mobil at Port
Albert, to meet educational officials and school children,
was a most generous •gesture, and one that will not be
forgotten for a long time to come. His short, informal
and unofficial visit to Clinton undoubtedly will remai,
torever in the memories of those who had the pleasure ori
seeipg and hearing hiM.
Needless to state, His Eicellency's request that the
pupils be given a half -holiday, proved very popular with
the younger generation.

PROCRASTINATION THE THIEF OF TIME
For th „average citizen of Canada, buying a Canada
Savings Bond is a proposition much different than
was the purchase of a Victory Bond in war days.
Because of the unprecedented size and energy of the sales
organization behind Victory Bond issues, very few people
in the Dominion were left to buy entirely on their owu
initiative. Sooner or later a salesman turned up at the
office or at the home and placed an application before his
prospects and extended his fouritaki pen Mr the signature.
Salesmen will call on a number of ,Canadians in
behalf of the Canada Sa.virogs Bond, but thousands upon
thousands of (those who buy this time will have to make
up their own minds •asad act on their own.
For this latter sizeable group, the 6d -fashioned
motto, "Do it Now" will serve in good stead.

- HURON COUNTY SCORES AGAIN!
Scores of thousands of people from many parts of
Canada and the 'United States have visited the
International Plovdiv, Match at Port Albert, Huron
County, during this week. And scores of thousands have
had the unique opportunity, not only of attending the
world's largest plowing match, but also of seeing for them-
selves just what the people of Huron Comity ean do in the
way of agricultural production.
The exhibits housed together under one roof hi
No. 4 Hangar at the "Victory Match," are a distinct credit
to all the residents of this county, and hi particular, to
those hardworking souls who took the time and the effort
to assemble and arrange them so attractively there. Huron
County has scored a tremendous publicity triumph!

A Trip to the Maritimes
BY THE EDITOR
(Continued from last week)
In last week's article on the Canathen Weekly News-
papers Association ,ammal meeting at .Halifax, .we
described our trip to sea on board the fine destroyer,
HMOS "Nootka." Now we'wish to conclude our report of
the convention with some reference to a few other high-
lights.
One of the outstanding orators of the meeting was
D. Leo Dolan, Ottawa, chief of the Dominion Travel Bureau,
who discussed the great potentialities of the Canadian
tourist industry ,at a complimentary luncheon tendered by
Johnston, Everson and Charlesworth, public relations coun-
sel, TorOsitto and Montreal. Mr. Dolan aPpealed for the
wholehearted support of every Canadian in this national
effort.
John W. Fisher, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
commentator, was the chief speaker at the annual Trophy
Dinner, at which a radio revue was broadcast over the CBC
network. Special features included the presentation of a
Pontiac sedan to Clarence V. Charters, Braiipton, on his
retirement as Managhvg Director of the Association after
nearly 12 years' outstanding service, and the presentation
of a travelling bag ,and set of lawn bowls, as well as a life
membership in the Association, to George W. James, pub-
. Tither of The Bownanville Statesman, in consideration of
his valued services as chairman of the Advertising Com-
mittee tfor the past ten years. Mr. Charters has been suc-
ceeded by William E. McCartney, Brampton, who has been
his assistant for the past year, while Edward A. Seaborn
is the new assiStant Managing Director.

standing third in the papers front

news value and headings, the winning
paper (Haney Gazette) getting the
possible. We received eight out of
ten for typography and make-up,
(Haney Gazette taking nine), and

better in this regard in the coming
year. One of the four papers.
So much for "shop" talk. The con-
vention came to a close with luncheon
at noon on Saturday, September 14.
Retiring to our hotel, we poked our
bags and got ready to board the Can.
adian National Railways train leav-
ing Halifax for Montreal later that
afternoon. On board this train, we
were given splendid service. Again,
we missed most of New Brunswick,
travellig through most of that Pro-
vince at night.
Quebec on a Sunday Afternoon
Arriving at Levis, Que., just after
lunch the next day, Sunday, a party
of five of us left the train there, took
the ferry across the mighty St. Lawr-
ence, and spent a very pleasant after-
noon sightseeing in Quebec City. The
weather was delightful and the Ter-
race was crowded, many of the people
being tourists from the United States.
We took the Canadian Pacific evening
train for Montreal, arriving there in
tirne be catch the night sleeper for
Toronto. We made connections in
UNITED CHURCH
COUNCIL RECORDS -
TEMPERANCE STAND
The Twelfth General Council of
the United Church of Canada, at its
session in Montreal last month, pas-
sed the -following resolution respect-
ing Temperance Education:
"Where the use of beverage alcohol
has assumed flood -like proportions in
our country causing gjeat economic
wastage and also involving social
wastage through the wrecking of
home life and the unfitting of many
for life's. dutie.
And whereas St. Paul declared, "It
is good neither to eat flesh, nor to
drink wine, nor • anything whereby
thy brother stumbleth, or is offend-
ed, or is made weak" (Romans
14:21). "Wherefore, if meat made
my brother to Weald, I will eat no
flesh while the world standeth, lest
I make my brother td offend." (1
Cor. 8i13).
And Whereas in the consideration
of this problem there are certain un-
derlying factors 'Which mast be ser-
iously regarded, among them the
following:
That many of our churcli people
do not make the use of beverage
alcohol a' moral issue;
That many people regard the usa
of beverage alcohol an integral part
of gatherings such as weddings
baptisms, and various festive oc-
casions;
• That many people, while not ad-
dicted to the use of beverage alcohol
themselves, feel that they are socially
bound to offer hospitality to their
friends and guests in the form of
beverage alcohol; among such guests
often are young folk who thus par-
take for the first time;
That many people, likewise, rather
than give offence to their hosts or
hostesses feel .the necessity of par-
taking, thus helping to create an
appetite for beverage alcohol, the end
of which no one can foresee;
Therefore be it resolved that this
Council:
(1) Unequivocally declare that in
view of the widespread wreckage of
humanity caused by the use of bev-
erage alcohol, it is a moral issue, and
thus calls upon each and every mem-
ber of our Communion to face this
fact and the issues involved;
(2) Challenges every member of
the United Church to set a Christian
example of total abstinence, believing
that it is the only wise and safe
course to be followed;
(3) Calls upon all United Church
members to refrain from offering
cocktails or other drinks containing
beverage alcohol to their guests on
any occasion whatsoever;
(4) Calls upon all •United Church
members to refrain in any way from
investing their money in or becoming
directors of Corporations whose busi-
ess is in whole or in part the pro-
duction and sale of alcoholic bev-
erages;
(5) Express gratification at the
decision of the Privy Council in up-
holding the validity of the Canada
Temperance Act'
(6) In the field of education, urge
(a) all ministers and sessions to form
temperance committees composed of
representatives of every activity in
the Church, including the Young
Adult Group, which committees
should be study circles to educate
themselves on the modern approach
to the alcohol problem and to intro-
duce a comprehensive plan of educa-
tion suited to each group in the
Church; (b) the Religious Education
Council of Canada to produce and
popularize a teacher -training course
in temperance education; (c) each
'Provincial Government place a quali-
fied person in its Department of
Edueation, to 'outline an effective
method of Temperance Education in
the primary,secondary and Normal
Schools. It is suggested that such a
person might well he sent to the
Yale School of Alcohol Studies.
(7) Urge the appointment of a
Federal Royal Commission to investi-
gate and report on the manufacture
sale, and distribution of beverage
alcohol in Canada.
(8) urge provincial governments to
Vote from their profits on liquor sales
sufficient sums annually to provide
adequate hospital care and scientific-
ally conducted clinics for the rehabili-
tation of alcoholics,

and thence home—absent from Clin-

a -half hours.
