The Clinton News Record, 1932-06-30, Page 3TH1US., JUNE 30, 1932 CtKINGATENE S i. u:flC1ar In.,some cities the civic employees have a inion so`strong that eldern}en have to sit uj> and take notice. The poor old ratepayers not +beingor- ganized' have to it bads and. take tax .notices:,. If -you .wis;h to be generous, • say that the New Jersey' Police are zeal- ous but inept and unfortunate. The Republican selection . of Pre- sident IH;oover and the framing of a platform, was the work of President Hoover himself; through the adinisiis- tredve machine which he ,controls. No one else has a look -in if a Presi- dent wishes a' second term. The plat- form se far as it covers the prohibi- tion issue is a skilful attempt to do what he slid four .years ago -to hold or gain Democratic drys . without losing' Republican wets. Two words ' enabled him.to do this in 1928. When he referred to the Volsteacl aet as a '"noble experiment," the • drys saw the ward "noble"; the wets saw•the ' word "experiment," and • he took both into camp. It was the wets who were deceived. Time alone will tell • whether' they will gain anything by his new policy of re-ststbrnission, but it looks now as if he has disappaint- ed the drys while antagonizing the • repealists in his own party, whose delegates went home disgruntled from the cut-and-dried preponderance at Chicago. • A scientist says man was origin- ally jelly.. Hasn't changed much in some cases. While it lasted, the slump of 1020 was no slouch. A salesman wired his house, "Cancel immediately all orders sent in last peels." The reply was, "Can't cancel immediately. You will have to wait your tura." The Democrats are now trying to outdo their political opponents in framing an agreeable platform and in clisipays of enthusiasm for their candidate. The exhibition of Re- publican' enthusiasm was a disappoint- ment, It lasted twenty-seven min- utes, but it was a labored effort sup- plemented by devices for noisomak- ing and for theatrical effects. Par- ading through the aisles, snatching (or snitching) standards, cheering, shouting, howling -all to impress the public, and deceiving no 'one except themselves. The system. is organiz ed. But real enthsuiasin is spontan eous. The .iisarrufaetueed article is a pale counterfu:lt. It 'sounds tinny, tastes synthetic and looks silly. r1r-ea! At a recent denominational 'con- vention,' it was reported that many clergymen are in the unhappy poste tion .af not being able to .Feet their obligation's on the meagre stipends' they now receive, •and a proposal was made" that ministers receiving $2,000 or more should contribute a tenth $o help:' out their less fortunate bret1nen. There is' a shrinking in congregational and general "contrijhu- tions,, and Church authorities are ex- periencing the same difficulty .as governments in balancing their' bud- gets because the depression plays few favorites, and when it 'hit"s the pew it hits the pulpit, It may be soone satisfaction to know that theta was a time when conditions were much gorse and pas- tors worked zealously and devoted- ly on beggarly pittances. Thirty or forty years ago, ministers of the gospel were scandalously underpaid, but there ha been a, wonderful im- provement since then. In those days they used to tell of a preaoher vase was offered an increase in salary but declined to acce'ps it., He was getting $400 a year.1 His 'congrega- tion offered to inrcease it to $600. He refused the increase, on the ground that he had trouble enough collecting the $400. People were poorer in those days but they were better church -goers and had more respect for the cloth. They were not in a position to be liberal, with cash. Coppers were more numerous on the collection Plate than nickels or dimes and a quarter would create a sensation and establish a reputation for someone. But they were generous in other ways toward the pastor snaking up to, some extent at least, for the in- sufficiency of their cash' donations, To -day, clergymen are in a much better position, In most denomina- tions the minimum salary is 'fairly high, and many ministers draw sal- aries that compare favorably with the incomes of, other professional seen. But even minimum salaries, and wages fixed by agreement, have. to yield in such times as these to the exigencies of the treasury, and it is a good sign when the more highly favored are willing to help out those who have to rely upon minimum salaries.

"It is most difficult to'say what.a safe speed is.` The laky restricts speed on the highways, to 35 'mileo per hour. Too may motorists ac- cept this" limit as being permissible under' all conditions.

The crew had a very narrow escape, but all hands were saved. The dredge was being towed by the tug Max L and accompanied by the tug Peel, towing a coal barge and two scows. A high sea was running, driven by a strong northwest wind. The dredge had shipped a let of water, which caused her to List badly, and the seas were washing over her decks. A particularly high wave hit the dredge and the water in her holt/ shifted to the bow, causing her to go down bow first and split in two amid- ehips. Capt. Convey and crew of 11 jump, ed overboard and swans until they were picked up by the Tugs Max I. and Peel. The Max L made Goderich with part of the Brew, and the tug Peel stood by about a mile offshore with the balance of the dredge crew, barge and scows until tate sea drop- ped sufficiently to enter port safely. Captain Convey of the sunken tug is a Port Stanley man.

Their representatives tell you of the large stuns of money being spent in metropolitan daily newspapers and in nationally -circulated magazines Like "MacLean's," "Chatelaine," "Canadian Home journal," "Canadian" and others, to create and maintain consumer demand, and they try ]tars/ to pereuade yoti that such "remote" ,advertising will surely create and sustain largo local. demand. It is admitted that it is advantageous to you and your customers for you to stock. nationally - advertised products, but such products will sell faster if they are locally advertised, in this newspaper, in addition to being advertised in nen-local publications. There is no good er sound reason why a na- tional advertiser should not do local advertising in this newspaper. You will be told, when you say to the representative of firsts calivassing you to stock and push Isis firm's product, "05, we could never afford to do local advertising.", Wihat he really means, when he says suck words, is that .he doesn't .expect large local sales. If he did, then he would see that these local sales can provide a sus. of money adequate to main- tain a local advertising campaign. Why should you help a national advertiser to develop his business in the territory covered by the circulation el this newspaper without ad- vertising co-operation from him? You provide local distribution facilities for manufacturers of branded products, and your value to them is recognized. Why, then, should these manufacturers not assist yoti to sell these goods, if stocked by you, by a series of local ad- vertisements, perhaps carrying your name as local distributor, published in this newspaper? The more frequently and vigorously you present your point .of view to national advertisers, direct and through the representative who calls on you, the .pore surely will you .persuade them to accept it. (N. B. Cut out this advertisement: Paste it on a card, and 'then show it to rem 'esentatives who urge You ta'stock goods not being locally advertised.)' 01, L 1 1
