OLD READERS OF THIS PAPER Mr. George,Hesselwood, of Hullett township came into The News -Record office on Monday morning to straighten up his subscription to date and, as he said,• regretfully to discontinue it. Mr. Hesselwood who recently disposed of his farm in Hul- lett, is now taking up his residence with his sister, Mrs. Hoggart, in Londesboro, and they thought there was no need -to have two copies of the paper conning to the house. Mr. Hesselwood said that a Clinton paper had been coming to the Ressel, wood home ever since a paper had been published in Clinton. The pre- decessors to The New Era were tak- en in succession, then the New Era as long as it was published, then Tho News -Record. "Oh, we should not like to be without the Clinton pa- per," he said. "It has always come and we look for it and the news it brings us." Mr. Hesselwood has not been enjoying the best of health lately and said he had not been in Clinton for four years, when he un- derwent treatment in the Clinton hospital. He does not know as many people in Clinton as 'he used to, are says, business places are under new management the past few years. "I used to know nearly everyone in this town," he remarked. But the Ilesselwood family used to reside where Mr, W. J. Stevens now lives and of course was much nearer to the town. The News -Record is sorry to lose this old subscriber but trust that with the freedom from the care and wor- ry of farming his health will improve and he, with his brother and sister. may enjoy years of quietness and peace in the friendly and pleasant little village of Londesboro.

THE IIOME PAPE IN ELANDER(S° FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, raw on row, • That mark our place, and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly ' . Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead, Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were' loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields, Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you with failing hands we throw The torch, bo yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not •sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. —John McOvae. AT THE CENOTAPH "Here are twelve roses. Let me count them over," Before I lay them on the rockwashed stone One for my wounded batman, drowned all Dover, Who got me out of No Man's Land alone; These three for Matthews, and his mad twin brothers, Missing at Ypres . . . their naives are on the Gate; And this for John . ... No, I'll not name the others, They only shared the common, gallant fate. Let the names go; they let life go so lightly, Why drag then down with clumsy words let fall By one particular grief? An end' so knightly Bids us keep silence, Unknown warriors ors all, They strove and passed, and these few scarlet roses Show that a new faith springs where dead hope closes. FORMER CLINTONIAN DIES Mrs. John Cuninghame received word Monday morning of the death, which took place in Peterborough on Sunday evening, of her nephew, J. Harvey Callander, who had been ill for some little time. The late Mr. Callander was the eldest son of the late Robert Callander, the first vial - or of Clinton, who met a tragic death as the result of 'burns receiv- ed while assisting in fighting a fire many years ago. Mr. Harvey Callander had been in the employ of the Peterborough Ex- aminer for years and had also eon- tributed to various horticultur- al journals, as his bobby rive is survived wasflowers. He u d e by his wife, who was formerly Miss Hattie Davis, a daughter of the late Silas Davis, and one son and one daughter, both residents of Peter- borough. VETERANS ATTEND CHURCH The veterans of Clinton and vicin- ity attended high mass in St.' Jos- eph's church on Sunday morning last, for their special annual church parade, The mass was celebrated by the parish priest, the Rev. Fr. Maur•+ f ice N. Sullivan, who discoursed on li the fundamental beliefs of the Cath olio Church. A large number of the veterans turned out, many of them never hav- ing attended service in the Catholic church before, and all entered into the service as heartily as was pos- sible. The choir rendered special mimic for the occasion, Mr. Pudwell at the organ. Comrade A. Inlcley was in charge of the parade, the Kittle Band head- ing it, and Comrade Morgan Agnew sounded the Last Post and the Re- veille, which preceded and followed the impressive two minutes of silence observed during the service. This was the first time the veterans at- tended this church in a body and the officials had prepared for the occa- sion by 'having printed programs with the order of service. CUPS PRESENTED On Friday evening last the Huron Softball Association and players met in the Seaforth Opera House. After viewing the fine show, the cups won during the season were presented to the different teams and players. Mr. A. Stebp, president of the Lea- gue was called upon and in his usus al pleasant way, thanked all for their cooperation in making the League such a fine success. Mayor Daly of Seaforth then spoke on the sports- manship of the players after which the cups were presented. The Grand Bend Casino Trophy, whisk was held in 1931 by the Clinton W;earwell team, was presented to the Grand Bend team by Mr. Steep. The Sills Cup, donated iby Mr. ,Sills of Sea - forth for the winning League • tea'tn was presented to 'Seaforth team, and was received ' by T. Beattie. The Duncan Cup, which was given for the most vahsable player in the Lea, gue, was presented to Norman, bet- ter known as "Poodle" Livermore of Clinton. This cup could not have been given to any better player, 'as Poedle has been playing softball• for five years and deserves all the cre- dit that goes with the honor, He will no doubt cherish this cup and the Clinton team is looking for him to' continue, his efforts and perhaps win another trophy next year. Jack Smith, another 1 Wearwell player; won the two ducks' which Were donated also by:the League.. NOT IN GOOD HEALTH Mr, Wm. Taylor of Chicago wrote us this week to renew his subscrip- tion and in his letter states that he has been in very poor health, not having recovered from a recent ill- ness, and spends more than half his time in bed. Even when able to be up he cannot walk without the aid of crutches and that only for a block or so and very occasionally. This must be hard on an active man and his old friends will sympathize with him in his confinement. IVPEDICOS ELECT OFFICERS The Huron Medical Society met in Seaforth yesterday afternoon, a good representation of the medical men of the county attending, Drs. Shaw, Hearn and Thompson going down from Clinton. Dr. H. Little of the 'University of Western Ontario, Lon, don gave an address and Dr. Collyer of Ilensall described a recent case. This was the annual election of of- ficers and the following were tips Pointed: President, Dr, McICinnon, Zurich; vice: Dr, Collyer, Hensel' and sec. -treasurer, Dr. P.

POULTRYMEN MEET IN ROME 'We are in receipt of an announce- ment of the official Canadian tour to the world's Poultry Congress to Rome, Italy, next summer, This congress is held every three years under the auspices of the World's Poultry Science Association, a world- wide organization, of which Mr. F. CS. 'Elford, Dominion Poultry Hus- bandman, Ottawa, is past pt•esident and Canadian member of the Italian Congress Executive. A like excursion was run to England in 1930, these excursions being open to others than those really interested in the breed- ing of poultry, the price of a mem- bership being included in the price of the trip, which is varied according to the accommodation demanded on board ship.

Langford and Paisley and Assessor Rorke constituted the court. LATE RASPBERRIES Mr. T. G. Scribbins showed us a branch of wild raspberries the other day upon which were a number of berries in various stages, from ripe to small green. The garden variety of raspberries often bloom and bear fruit late in the fall but the wild variety is usually not so prolific These canes were growing around where Mr. Seribbins' bees are kept. Then on Sunday the writer was out to dinner and enjoyed a dish of fresh raspberries and cream. It wasn't a large enough dish as to rule out the enjoyment of an additional dessert, but still was enough to give that pleasing flavour peculiar to this type of fruit. That doesn't sound so bad for November 6th, in Canada, "Our Lady of the Snows," does it? H. ANIY S. CLUB MEETS The members of the Home and School Club are looking forward with interest to their next meeting which takes place in the Collegiate audi= torium on Tuesday, November fif- teenth.
