The Clinton News Record, 1933-06-15, Page 3• r THURS., JUNE 15, 1933 THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE 3 GDKINGATENE S iHu:hClar We gather from an article in a far if Roosevelt had been on the dignified family journal that the ad- &Lorgan preferred list. (ministration of justice in some cities is not what it should be. It appears (that the .bulls engage stool pigeons to get evidence against blind pigs. Suoh procedure is bound to cause un- easiness in the menagrie of the un- derworld. o=ff Mae West declares that when she enaeries it will not be to a good- looking man. She prefers a homely looking one. The homely looking - men are already married, but that ehouldn't make any difference to a screen actress. Everybody one meets says times are getting better. Therefore times are getting better. A man's house is his .castle. All except the front door which belongs to agents .and pedlars. Some people use good judgment only when they use that of some one else. CSL—� Some English newspapers denounce as robbery Roosevelt's removal of the gold clause in contracts. It will hurt foreign investors in American securities but surely it is on the whole a disadvantage rather than an advantage to the United States which has loaned billions of dollars abroad. c.=saa "Is recevery coining too soon?" enquiries a financial editor. We read a short time ago that the manufac- turer of drugs and kindred prepara- tions had managed to keep prices up to the point attained during the wa) Congress and Senate were indignant at what J. P. Morgan & Company did as disclosed by the Pecora in- vestigation which showed that they were doing what most people knew they were doing. 3b If there is any lack of free speech in Canada it is not on the part of those who say there is. Companies applying for loans from the U. S. Reconstruction Finance Corporation have to scale down their high executive salaries, and we can well believe that it is only compan- ies paying high executive salaries that are applying for loans from the R. I'. C. C-'7Glem3 That Kansas City girl who was kidnapped and released on payment of thirty thousand dollars says she had a real jolly time with her abductors and almost fell in love with one of them. Father however did not get much of a thrill out of it. We shall never, know whether this investigation would have gone so We do •know however, .that the kick comes from men who were not on that list. If they bad been offered the same proposition would they have accept- ed it? The answer is in the affir- mative. et=:1CO We heard a man recently criticiz- ing farmers for not selling their wheat when they could have got $1.60 a bushel for it. On inquiry we learn- ed that he is hanging on precarious- ly to a lot of shocks on which he could have made handsome profits if he had sold in '29. c==lc=eli Lord Macauley observes some, where England's habit of going on a periodical spree of indignation and virtue which soon ends and is fol- lowed by a long period of complac- ency when "everything goes" until something happens to set her off a- gain on the pursuit of some victim like Clive or Hastings. o�t^� The United States is given to just such paroxysms. It is now indulging in an orgy of investigation and in- dignation, being cruelly outraged ovs er things revealed in the Pecora in- vestigation, and is changing the laws so that such things will never hap- pen again, never, never. Then it wilt Iapse into a long period of com- placency when new means will be de- vised to circumvent the new laws and everybody will be satisfied if not happy. It went through the sane spasms in the days of the first Roosevelt, and will go through them again some years hence. Nearly every large city there has gone through the same process. The Citizens tolerate, things for a long time until at last some one thing stirs thein to revolt. or==, They launch a reform movement and sweep the city, but they soon tire of being good. These infrequent movements are valuable no doubt but the effects are only transient. Citric virtue has not the staying power of civic vice. A hotel dish -washer won $45,000 in the Derby Sweepstakes and immed- iately threw up his job. There are many men keeping bachelor's hall who do not blame him in the least. THE LETTER THAT NEVER— J. P. Morgan & Co., New Ylork. Pear Sirs: I am in receipt of your letter offering me five hundred shares of Standard Brands at $20 a share, now selling at $37 on the mar- ket. In reply I beg to respectfully decline the offer. Yours very truly. What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING '174'n LAST DE- CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY?

A cat owned by Mr. Levi Trick is acting as foster mother to a couple of young mink, which seemingly take to her as comfortably as to their nat- ural mother. New Horseshoes: 'We were shown the other day a horseshoe of ordin- ary size and thickness, which only weighed 91-2 ounces, or about ten ounces less than a shoe made of iron, It was made of aluminum, a metal which has lately come into use. They are manufactured from cold metal and if they will stand the same wear that ordinary shoes do, will prove especially serviceable to trotters. The material is too expensive to admit of it being used generally as a set of shoes are worth $4. Mr. Oliver Johnston was the maker of this par- ticular one. A Wbdding: On Wednesday after- noon the residence of Mrs. Shipley of°. the Huron road was the scene of one, of those pleasing events when her daughter, Miss Emma, was married by the Rev.

If you are a Canadian we want you in Bayfield for the 1st, to join in the celebration of Dominion Day, or if you are a Britisher from the three Isles don't fail to show your loyalty to your counary and your flag. In this age when we hear so much cry of annexation, when a paper publish- ed in our midst has the audacity a- mongst a loyal peaple to publish its treasonable statements, it is high time the young Canadians of this land aroused themselves to prove their zeal, even in the face of the betray- ers of their country.

He is the youngest looking, if not the youngest man ever to be elected to the reeveship of that township, but the shortage of years, if we may put it that way, is not these days considered a hardship.
