This township will get along for 1983 with tate same council, as their lordships, the ratepayers, decreed when all were returned by acclama- tion et the nomination meeting held in Mulholland's hall, Ilolmesville, on Friday last. The old council consists of Reeve Wilmot Haacke and Coun- cillors F. W. Powell, Ernest John- ston, 0. J. Jervis and Harry Corey. These were all renominated and Mr. Powell was also nominated for reeve and Mi'. J. Sowerby was nominated for councillor. But these withrdew and the council was left "as is." After: the nominations had been made Mr. N. W. Trewartha, mayor of Clinton, former reeve and clerk of the township, was called to the chair while the members of the council gave an account of their stewards ship. Mr. Trewartha congratulated the township on the lino financial situation which it maintained even in the face of times of depression, anti the reeve and council on their careful management of affairs dur- ing the past year, so that the try( rate con be reduced, thus easing the burden •cn the ratepayers. He re- called the work of former councils) which had also carefully watched expenditures and was glad to sec that it was being continued. Reeve Haacke, on being called use on to •speak announced that the 4••^"n .tin -cite had been reduced from four to three mills, that the muni- cipality *di free of debt, that a tell per cent, cut had been made in sal- aries, that no money had been ex- pended in relief, that there was a nice surplus of $1,700 and that an- other cut in Cate would be made in 1933. He criticised county expendi- tures. He thought the county gold age pension committee an unneces- sary expense, being a member of the Huron committee he still thought it needless as the Provincial inspector hadthefinal sayto'whether as w et h rensk'n should be granted. He, also thought the cost of the administra- Hon of justice was too high. Ile thought the County 10i+own Attor- ney and other officials should be paid a salnsy and the fee system a- bolshed. He announced that not a cent had been paid in legalfees this year and that there was lege thar 5100 in unpaid, taxes at the present time. Mr. Sowerby also thought fees and salaries were toe high. doctors. lawyers, nurses and all professions' people got too much money,, he said. Mr. Powe11Mr. Jervis, Mr. • John- stole ohnstole and Mr. 'Oseey also spoke brief- ly, Mr. Powell, thought the council should be grateful for the cooperal tion of the ratepayers in their ef- forts to keep down taxes and he spoke of the harmony which had ex- isted at the council board, the querns berg of which had worked well to- gethey. Although the; surplus in the treasury, seems large it would not have been so large had the weather' held good, as more worle would have been alone on ,-the roads, elthougli over 57000 had been spent on roads, more having' been spent this year than last, and every cent of this had gone into the pockets of the rate payers themselves. 45c per hour had been paid for teams but he con- sidered •this money well spent, as more work had been accomplished, Mr. Jervis took occasion to conl- plineent the work of the municipal clerk, Mr. R. G. Thompson, work most important in any municipality. Indeed, the whole meeting seemed more like a love feast than almost anything else. May the good wont continue and spread to other tennis cipalities. RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY The Soviet Government has done a great deal towards changing human nature, despite the popular theory that this cannot be done, writes Bruce Biivon in the "New Republic." Yet Russia is a large stubborn coun- try, and these things take time. I Was reminded of this facts in a Rus- sian city, which I think bad 'better be nameless, by my experience with the waiter and the caviare, A foreigner, unaccustomed to the Russian food of today, learns to lean rather heavily on caviare, which is bow reasonably plentiful and, under certain conditions, not prohibitively expensive. In this city I was living en the American plan at a leading hotel, under an arrangement by which I was entitled to caviare with both dinner 5 p.m., and supper 11 p. m. In tbe diningroons I sat each day at the same table, and was served by the sante waiter, an amiable middle= aged man who spoke a little of what he proudly imagined was German. For four or five days Ise served me caviare twice daily without comment and then -ane day I came in for din- ner, ordered the dish as usual, and ran into an obstacle, "Excuse me,'. he said. "Caviare is an extra in this hotel. You must order it a la carte. Large portion, twelve dollars. Small portion, eight dollars. Which would you like?-' "I wouldn't like either," I explain- ed patiently. "I ant paying a lump sum per day, and it includes caviare twice a day with spy meals. Don't you remember? You have served me vom'seif, day after day. Every day. Twice a day. My words had no effect. "Twelve dollars for large portion," he repeat- ed hnnefully. "Eight dollars fol; small,,, Before I was in this city," I went on, "I was in (let us call it 1Danyet- grad. Sanse arrangement there, Caviare twit° a day. Included in bill." 73]3 fare lighted up. "Ah, ah, ah," he breathed, "In Danyetgrad, yes. Caviare free, with meals, yes. Here no. Large portion. twelve doll--" "All right. all right," I said. "Ne caviare. Bring me some soup." At my next meal I again sat at the same table, was served by the Rene man, I gave him my order: "..riser me some caviare first" He brought it sweetly and without a weed. and all meals thereafter. Puzzled, I told the story to a Rus- sian friend, who gave me the key to the mystery. "Don't you see?" said my Menet "That one meal, there didn't happen to he any caviare itt the house. And he didn't want to confess this to you, a foreigner." RAILWAYS WANT TWO NEW THURS., DEC, 1, 1932 ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED, Mr. and Mrs. Jahn A. -Cox an - flounce the engagement of their se+. cond daughter, IvadeIl, to Mr. Wil- liam E. Jervis, son of -117r.

EXTENDING BUISINIE'SS Night week of the full staff has been discontinued by the Clinton Knitting Company, rush orders hav- ing been gotten out for the time bei ing,. although a small night shift is still on, A new night engineer has been put on, Mr. J. Folland having been appointed, Mr. J. McNeil being thus relieved of night duties. The firm is receiving many orders from Bermuda and the West Indies and it is expected that a lively trade will be worked up in other parts of the British Empire as a result o1 the Ottawa Conference. WORDS -C. K. Howard, manager of the Tourist Bureau of the Canadian Na- tional Railways hopes to see two new words in the dictionary before long. At present there appears to be no sanction for tite use of a substantive or of an adjective to correspond with the word "tourist." The nearest au- thentic apperoach is f'touristry," which' :means the science of touring nor avenging itineraries, The Canadian National official wants the word "touristic" introduc- ed, as well as the word "tourism." These would be logical, anglicised forms of the French "touristique," which mean, in English, respectively: pertaining to tourist traffic' and "tourist traffic oanstder°d as awto ] e in the general sense." Thus we would say: "The touristie advantages are obvious; only a sound policy of tourism will bring us tour- ists, will cause yds to • ba included when touristry is engaging the et -- 'tendon of travel -minded- people it other.' countries." OSuch a sentence is now impossible without taking ereat..liberties,with:;.•the King's .Eng-, lish. 'The advertisements are printed for vnsr,emtvenienfo. They inform and save your time, •energy"and money. FUNERAL OF MRS. W. T. HILL Brief notice was made last week of the death of Mrs. W. T. Hill, who was found unconscious in her resi- dence, where she lived alone, on Tuesday and who died in the hospi- tal on Wednesday after partially re- gaining consciousness, although she was unable to speak, having suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Hill, whose maiden name was Susan Green, was born near Whitby nearly seventy-three years ago, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Green, moving to Hibbert township some time later. About forty years ago she was united in marriage to the late W'. T. Hill, who died thirteen years ago. They lived and farmed on the gravel road berth of Clinton for many years and there her bus, band died. Later she moved' into Clinton. They had no family. Rich- ard Robinson and Miss Margaret Robinson of Brussels, Nedbv Robin- son of Edmonton, W. J. Oldfield and Mrs. John Pethick of Seaforth are nephews and nieces, and all, with the exception of the one in Echnon- tom were Here for the funeral on Friday, which took place from her late residence. The Rev. F. G. Far - rill conducted the funeral service at house and graveside, the pallbearers being: J. Appleby, S. Lobb, H. Cas, tle and 3. McNeil. Interment was made in Clinton cemetery. 'THE L.O.B.A. PLAY The foul' -act comedy drama "Oh! Susan," which was staged in the town hail on Thursday evening un- der. the auspices of Huron Lodge L. 0.13.A. by an all -local teat drew a full house, and set the Orange ladies well up financially. The parts were ail well taken es- pecially that of the title role Janet Dalton or "Susan" as she was more intinmately named by her friends This major part was taken by Miss Virginia Rozell, who has on several occasions taken the more difficult parts in amateur theatricals. The entire performance was so well done however, that to specialige might be unfair, and, anyway, much praice is due the entire cast. Those taking part in addition to Miss Rozell were: J. Douglas as Dan- vers Meredith, healthy, wealthy, and wise; Miss Viola Fraser, who took over a part which had been practised by Mrs. Cooke and had a very short time to get it up, his aunt, "Mrs. M. Weatherby;" Misses H. Livermore and N. Taylor, as "Rese and Edith Parsons'," two rosebuds; Miss: C. Harrison, as "Maine," who takes tvisat she wants; S. Taylor, imper- sonating "Lefty" a light fingeree young gentleman; G. N. Davies, tak- ing the Hart of the "Old Soak:" and Henry Sloman and Mrs. W. Meilveen servants to the Merediths.•The scene of the play is the Meredith Home. and ran over a few months of time, THE PRINTER The printer's calling is a peculiar businost in that it is not only a trade, .but more. 01 . course, the first end is to make a living—a most worthy end; but much more thanthis is mixed with fits •trade. There is a spiritual side which ole- vates the aproned and bedaubed print' ter to a place among the elect of progress and enlightenment, , 1, The printer takes a blank sheet of paper, gathers the type, inks the press, and delivers to his patron, not merely a piece of, merchandise; but et thing now alive, speaking a message to the mind through the eye. The. inanimate has been created into n . spirit, a tongue of meaning has been given the once dumb sheet, end naw the piece of paper, with aid pf magic of printer's ink, does what the mind in itself cannot do—carries a mes- sage of thoughts,' hopes, and ambi- tions to other minds. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. They speak figur- atively, for they mean the printing press when they say the pen. And when the roll i3 called of the great souls who, without brag or boast, have sped this old, sinful world along the way of progress and eivilization, perhaps the first in line will Ibe that same aproned and bedaubed printer. —.William Lewis Judy.

POOR. OLD GIRL Down in South Huron an incident occurred recently which did not find its way into print, and which was re - listed to us through -a private channel It is wen worth. giving publicity to, and shows that quick-witted accident saved the day from a vicious hold-up in an original way. The driver of a cream -collecting truck overtook an old woman carrying a basket. He stopped his truck to take her in and she handed him a basket which she carried, but when she stepped .on the running board the driver noticed that under the skirt was a pair of men's pants. Quielc as a flash he put out his foot and kicked "her" in the stomach, knocking her into the ditch and drove off. After getting a safe distance he looked into the :basket and found that it contained a revol- ver. Search for the "lady" failed to discover her.
