People now reason that if Hoover is responsible for the depression Coolidge must have been responsible for the wild, hilari- ous times that preceded it, caused it; in fact. One followed the other as surely as a headache follows a spree, In the cold gray dawn of the morn- ing after, one is apt to recall with remorse the revelries of the night before. So at least we have been informed on what we consider very good authority. c`it=so. In an interview given the New York Times, Sir Henry Thornton puts his fingers definitely upon the chief difficulty which will be experienced in enforcing economies on the gov- ernment owned railways, as recom- mended by the Duff commission. Eva ery community, he said, approves the principle except where itself is con- cerned, but there is always a political reaction when an attempt is 'made to reduce service at a particular point, The sante applies to all government expenditure. We all agree that the pruning knife should be applied — but not in our own immediate neigh- borhood, "Robbing Peter to pay Paul was the rule, not only in the Insull case at Chicago, but also in the Machray ease at Winnipeg."—Editorial.

It is not alleged that there is any combination among Canadian dealers, but it is suspected that there is some understanding a- mong the Welsh and Pennsylvania operators. a c tree Democrats accuse large financial and industrial concerns of trying to coerce their employees to vote Re- publican. The same charge was made when Meriinley was the Republican candidate. One firm, tired of the accusation, posted up notices which read; "Any employee of this firm neglecting or refusing tovote as he darned well pleases will be discharg- ed." a-=iCea. Henry Ford is one of the offenders. He had notices posted up urging his, employees to vote for Hoover. An employer who does that should have a very strong case and should be able to show his employees that it is to their interest as well as his own to vote as he suggests. It would have been more politic if he had merely set forth his views, leaving them tr do what they are going to do any- way—Note by ballot, Dissatisfaction with respect to prison discipline governing hours of recreation is said to be the main cause of the riots in Portsmouth Penitentiary, the non -issue .ef cigar- ette papers with the tobacco rations coming second.

Retail Survey Shows Change Better Business Predicted Prosperity has turned the long a- waited and much heralded "corner" and is advancing slowly but surely along the sunny side of the street, according to a recent survey conducts ed by The Business Management Bureau of The Retail Merchants' As- sociation of Canada Inc. (Ontario Division.) This survey' definitely reveale visible improvements in many lines sof business, although the full bene- fits of the upward trend weuld not be felt by the average person for a few months, according to F. H. Boselly, Director of the Bureau, whose reasons are as follows: When the stock market crashed in 1929, the depression had started and prosperity was one its way into tem:' porarcy seclusion ,for three months or more before the average person realised it, curtailed their expendi tures and purchases or made any provision for liquid reserves S3 tide over the hard times. In fact, people were so used to thinking and talking prosperity and easy money that few were capable of visioning a period when such conditions would cease to exist. Similarly today, all economic in- dices and barometers, such as car loadings, stock and commodity pric- es, unfilled orders for steel, money available for loans, bank deposits and cessation of national bankrup- tcies, positively show that business and financial leaders are preparing for a period of expansion and that the depression is over; but once a- gain the public does not realize it. People leave been talking depression and practicing economy and frugality for so long few are capable of be- lieving that better times are here. A canvass in connection with the Bureau's survey disclosed an enor- mons potential market for goods and merchandise of every description During the last period of prosper- ity a higher standard of living was 1 treated by means of advertising and other propaganda. People transfer- red into the class of necessities -many; things previously considered as lux- uries, such as automobiles; radios, :vacuum cleaners, in addition t0 many items of food and clothing. The depression curtailed purchas- ing power and therefore gratification of these wants, but it would take Imore than two or three years of hard times to eliminate the strong de- i sire people have for things which !they have enjoyed and so pleasantly !remember. Now with a return of confidence in !the business structure and an assur- 1 anee of steady employment or poten- tial profits, the public will - again ;start spending and let loose the pent- up flood of buying that they denied Ithentselves during the past three years, which will benefit everyone in the economic chain. Money will start to circulate, ere- ' dits loosen up, the storekeeper stock up his shelves, the manufacturer start his plant to supply the mer- chant, prosperity will gain increas- ing momentum, and we will again be in the midst of good tinges practical- ly before we realize It. But it must not be construed that this prosperity, which is well on the way is of the "boom variety," like the last, with its frenzied finance and over -inflated prices; when anyone and everyone could make money in practically any line that they chees- ed. It is not—and those days are gone. Rather do all indications point to a period of steady, substantial growth, when those who have something mer- itorious to offer, who plan carefully, buy wisely, advertise intelligently, andswho either know what they are doing or hire experts to show theme the way will hage greater opportun- ities for huge success than ever be- fore, And, particluarly is this true of the retail field, where hit and 'miss methods have taken such a disas- trous toll in past. Years, according to' Mr. Boselly, who claims that we are now entering upon the era of great- est expansion and prosperity for scientifically operated and individual-. ly owned retail stores in merehandis ing history. '' "These things the very fine," state many merchants, "but how are they going to help me. I am just about sect m.erehandising and storekeeping 4 a m the hands ofthe:receiver and don't know whether I can continue in :busi- ness ' for even another month,", "This mortality of retail busines demanded a positive and lasting rem edy, explained Mr. Boselly, "so The Business Management Bureau was brought into existence as an integral part of The Retail Merchants' Asso- ciation about eighteen months •ago. Since that time it has been success- ful in re -habilitating many retail businesses which were headed for the, bankruptcy courts. This was ae- eomplished by a simple process of re= organization, the application of cor- principles, and in most cases by ;a substantial increase in newspaper ad- vertising which created \ sales and produced profits, thereby giving con ridence! to creditors and thus' enab- ling an unfortunate but otherwise good merchant to stay in business and make a success," An excellent tribute to the Bur- eau's work was manifest recently, when one of Canada's leading uni- versities requested permission to study the data compiled during this. survey and the results obtained ,in the applying of scientific principles to Ontario retail merchandising.

ZURICH: An auto collision took place onSaturday evening at dark, near the first bridge of the big swamp, on the Zurich road, when 111r. Albert Heideman, son of Mr. anti. Mrs. Egbert Heideman, was return- ing to Zurich from the east, and at the mentioned place he met Mr. Alex, Munn of Hensall going east, when in seine way owing to fog or other con- ditions Mr, Munn seemed blinded and swiped the side of the Heideman car, With the result that both cars suf- fered considerable damages of ap- proximately $40 each. The Heide- man ear was going quite slowly at the time and the officers advise us that it was within six inches from the ditch on the north side of the road, and was absolutely at no fault sof the collision, while the Munn car displayed only one headlight.—Zurich Herald. ,rineeet> WINGHAMs Wingham L.O.L., No. 794, held their annual church service last Sunday evening at St, Paul's An- glican Church, when about 60 ntem- bees and visiting brethren attended the service.

Mr. Hayes explained thor- oughly what ,the order stood for, and that there was nothing secret, as far as they were concerned, any more .than the symbol by svhich One Or- angeman rangeman knew another.

Do you know that to -day is the 75th anniversary of the con3ecration of Dr. Benjamin Cronyn as the first Bishop sof Huron? He has the dis- tinction in our church annals of be- ing the first prelate of the Church of England in Canada to be elected by a diocesan synod; and the last who was compelled to cross the cceon to be consecrated to the office' of bishop, the ceremony taking place in the chapel of Lambeth Palace. ' This first diocese to be created out of the vast territory aver which Dr. Straehan pre- sided_ for so slong, is therefore, 75 years old to -day, providing, of course, that one reckons the birth of a diocese from the consecration of its bishop, the right thing ecclesiastically even if not so correct from the legal stand- point. But Huron has three other an. niversaries this year, the first the centenary of Mr. Cronyn's arrival in the then very insignificant London; !. the sceoatd, the 87th anniversary of the opening ef the cathedral; the third, the 70th anniversay of the foundation of its diocesan college. All three of these are to be joined in a centennial celebration at London. Benjamin Cronyn was, as his name I implies, an Irishman. Born in 1802 at', Klkenny,'he was educated at Trinity College, 'Dublin, was ordained as deacon by the Bishop' of Raphoe in 1825 and as a priest by the Bishop of Tuan in 1827. IIe came to 'Canada in the cholera year, and was appoint ed to succeed Rev. E. J. Boswell at London, which up to that time had iyeen ,overshadowed in importance by St. '.thoinas, but soon after Mr. Crcnyn's arrival London began to. grow. .The tillage became a town in'. 1848. and -a city in 1854; during the interval the Anglican vector' has] been busy indeed. What the rector's work bust have been in his early years can beimagined from a statement made by Bishop ,Strachan in the first year of '• his own episcopate, 1839 that between London and Goderich on the one hand and St . Thomas and. Wloodhouse on the other, there was not a single missionary. Thanks to Dr Cronyn's energy as missionary, as rector and as bishop,. (baeked .by the generosity of the S•P.C.K. and the S•P,G.), the aged bishop of Toronto was able°to say by 1861 that in the two dioceses there were 'by 'then 200 clergymen in active service. It is 'tot be ,hoped that in the centennial .and 1 Other celebrations the good church folk of Huron will remember with gratitude the funds supplied to their ancestors by these two great English religious societies. Without them the early• mission work would have been impossible: without their aid the crea- tion• of the diocese of Huron would have been difficult and certainly de- layed. The diocese has been fortunate in its bishops: Cronyn, 1857-71, Hell- 'niuth, 1871-83, Baldwin, 1883-1905, David Williams, 1905-31; and now Bishop Seager, to whom, and to all the Anglicans of that lovely section of Ontario, best` wishes are extended in this historic year. HIGHWAY PROJECT TO BE RESUMED Single Transients to be Given Worli In Camps Unemployed single transients will again be given work on the trans - Canada highway this winter the Mail and Empire announced on Tuesday. The boarding camp system in the north, it was learned at Parliament buildings, will be put into operation, and the men will be set to work on that section of the trans -Canada highway west of. Nipigon, and lying between North Bay and Pembroke. At the present time there are 3,500 single men in government camps, and they will be set to work immediately, the paper says. During their occupancy or the camps they have been receiving 55 per month and their board. When they star/ en the road they will get ii 0 Pea month and their found, less 50 cents per month for medical service. The men will work eight hours a day, r; and the ocst will be shared equally between the provincial and federal governments, the paper con- tinues. The govermnents' will not pay transportation to Northern On- tario this year, and single transients wishing to go north must make their own arrangements, it is learned. RAILWAYS BARGAINS SNAPPED Ula Football fans appear to'be, as much interested in bargains as the average housewife, looking thein up even in railway fares. Recently the Cana. dian National Railways unwittingly offered a bargain trip from Toronto to Detroit. It came about this way: A special $2.00 week -end excursion was operated from Toronto to Lon; don on the day of the rugby game between Varsity and Western Uni- versity. On the sante day another special week -end excursion was be- ing run from London to Detroit,. Somewhat to the surprise of R. E. Richmond, City Ticket Agent, at To- ronto, a man came into the Ticket of- fice six days prior to the operation of the excursion and asked: "You are selling 52.00 week -end tickets to London and return, and ones for the same from London to Detroit?" The answer was it} the affirmative, and the man promptly pm:chased four tickets. "We'll stop off and see: the game Saturday and then rim along to Detroit," he said. The idea of splitting the excursion trip at London, seeing the rneby game and then continuing on to De- troit for the week -end, apparently found great favor with a large num- ber of football fans, for the advancr sale of the dual ticket was abnormal, and the ticket clerks at Toronto be- came quite used to the novel idea of selling London to Detroit tickets from a point entirely outside of the ori- ginal intent of that excursion. MORE SUNKEN TREASURE A fortune awaits the man who bass sufficent perserverance and luck to salvage all or a part of the Spanish fleet of Admiral Apodaca, who burnt his ship; in the Ice of Gasper Grande, off Chaguaramas Bay, Trinidad, on February 12, 1797, rather than risk an action with Admiral Harvey on the following morning, In Cuba the Government has de- cided that burials costing more than 5175,00 and coffins costing more than 575,00 are luxuries, and there- fore taxable.

Training for all Emergencies - The wide variety of heady acts for which Scouts are awarded medals was illustrated when the Governor General presented medals to two Moose Jaw boys. One had saved the life of a gunshot victim by ap- plying tourniquet, the other had gone to the aid of two men attacked by a moose in the Moose Jaw Wild Ani- mal Paris. C�L�p 20,000 Danes Greet Scout Courier A novel cross-country event which attracted much public attention in Denmark was the carrying by Scout messengers from the northermost point of Jutland 500 kilometres to Copenhagen of a kuda camp horn, the gift of Lord Baden-Powell to the Danish Scout Association, The ar- rival of the horn was witnessed by 20,000 spectators. One courier crossed an arm of the sea by sail boat and another piloted an airplane. Danish papers published photographs of the progress of the horn across the country. • �r. 11111111111111 1141 Our Commercial Printing Department is equipped to handle printing of all kinds from a box of Calling Cards to ten thousand Statements or Letter Heads Give us Your Order for Counter Cheek ooks We are prepared to supply you in any quantity " We will he Pleased to receive your order for Letter Heads a �lfl Heads Statements Envelopes Calling Cards, or Private Stationery THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD A 'FINE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING—READ ADS.
