NOT FOR US On sending his renewal subscrip- tion from his winter quarters at Or- lando, Florida, Mr. - Jacob Taylor writes: "We are comfortaby settled in the same apartment we had last year. This season I have a good siz- ed vegetable garden, in which I am very much interested. It is quite a novelty planting; and working a gar- den in December. Already we have lettuce, onions and radishes fit for' use and will soon have green peas. Everything grows very fast . , , fruit very plentiful and cheap. Oranges grapefruit and bananas ten cents per dozen." No wonder "Jake" looks so well when he returns for a little visit in Clinton, after all that outdoor exer= cise and living on fruit and vege- tables. He doesn't say anything about bowling but his friends here would have no hesitation in'saying which he would do if the onion bed needed weeding and . there was a bowling snatch on that particular day. However, that climate may be all right for those whose blood is thin, but look what they miss in this glow- ing, winter .weather?` Then .too, think of having to weed a garden all the year around? .. DEATH OP THOS.' WHITE mt. Thomas. White, whose death was mbutioned briefly last week, was well known. in Clinton and vicinity. He was born at. Thirsh, Yorkshire, England, Jan. 16th, 1851, and in 1873 the family, consisting of his mother, his stepfather, Mar, Pallisier, three sons and 'two daughters, 'came out to Philadelphia, coming to Canada and to Clinton two or three years later. In 1888 Mr. White returned to Eng- land and was married to his now sor- rowing widow. He returned here with -his bride but the following year went to . Philadelphia, Where lie' en- gaged in the retail tea .and coffee business, later going to Southern Al- berta, where for many years he held. the position of manager of a depart" meat in the Hudson's Bay •Company's store, Pincher Creels. Tiring of the close confiner:dent of business after so many years, he then went• to British C'olnmbia and settled on a fruit ..and petiltry ranch near New Westminster, • where he ,remained .un- til 1917, when ire and his wife return- ed to Clinton to care fonhis. invalid sister, the late Miss M. A. White, and here they have since resided. . Mr. White was apparently in, his accustomed health, going about as usual, until the day ;after Christmas, when he 'was seized.• with a heart at- tack, and from that time he failed rapidly, the end coming thirteen days later. Surviving are hiswidow and one daughter, Mrs. Clemens of Re- gina, Sask., who reached her 'father'e bedside a few, days before the end: Also one brother, William White of Kelowna, B.C. The funeral tookplace from St, Paul's church, of which he was a member, on Thursday afternoon last, after a brief service at the residence. The Rev. L. C. Harrison conducted the funeral rites and the 'pallbearers were: J. H. Derr, .A,. J. Tyndall, E. H. Wise and E. G. Saville. Many of the.' members • ofthe local 1.O.O.F.:also attended the funeral, Mr. White having been in his `young- er days an active Odd Fellow. Intermtent was /made in the family t in Clinton cemetery. y AMONG THE CHURCHES Baptist Church The minister's sermon subject on Sunday; evening will be: "Hypocrisy. in the Church."

Clinton friends were shocked and sorry to learn of the death, which oe- cured in Misericordia• Hospital, Win- nipeg, on Thursday last, Jan. 10th,. aftera brief illness, of, William S. Anderson, son of the late Rev. S. Anderson and of . Mrs, Anderson bf London. . •' Mr. Anderson had been practising law at Sioux Lookout, and the story of his illnessis the better told by the .following from a Winnipeg daily of Jan. 4th: "An airplane matched its. speed with death and won 'a nip and tuck race from Souix Lookout, Ont., to Winnipeg, Thursday afternoon. The maohine ca' red W. S. Anderson a barrister, who was taken ill sudden- ly a few days ago with brain fever. His condition took a turn for the worse at noon Thursday and medical 'men of Sioux Lookout attending him Predicted' death in a'£ew hours unless he could get better hospital facilities. The nearest big city was Winnipeg but it was an eight -hear; train jour- ' from Sioux Lookout anti the, train did not leave until ten o'clock' that night. That would mean the patient would not have arrived here until eight o'clock this morning and this would be too late. Fortunately there were several Western Canada, Airways Ltd. Uni- versal Fokker• monoplanes stationed at the town and one was commission- ed to bring Ma. Anderson to Winni- peg, Unconscious he was carefully placed in the apacious cabin and with- in two hours and three-quarters was safely in Miserieoidia hospital. Pilot. Dale Atkinson was at the controls. He left Sioux Lookobt at 2 o'clock sharp and was at the; St. Charles fly- ing field about 4.30, negotiating the, 246 'miles in two and one-half hours. Andersot's condition was fairly good this morning and he was re- ported to be resting easily." Although there seemed to be some hope of his recovery- when the above was, written,` he died one week later, having had only one short interval of consciousness during that time. • Mics. Sorbs, formerly Miss Emina Higgins, who knew the Anderson ie • family when they 'resided 1 re and who is now .living in Winnipeg, on learning of the case went to the hos- pital to visit the young man but Iris condition never improved sufficiently to allow of her seeing hin. Mr .Anderson attended public school and Collegiate Institute in Lon- don later graduating from the Uni- versity of Western Ontario with Arts degree in 1921. He then entered Os- geode Hall, where he' completed his course in law. Mi•,. Anderson was engaged in the department of agri- culture, Toronto, and 'with the sol- diers' civil re-establishment board un. til ttvo years ago, when he opened an office ieCSibu'a Lookout, Ont., in part- nership with J. T. Shillington. JJr, Anderson saw action in the Great War as a lieutenant in the Roy'- al Ain l:ci'eo , serving in Greece. while on active service his plane was brought down, resulting in serious injuries, While being invalided home his ship was torpedoed in the Irish Sea and he was rescued after being afloat for en hour.

He had not had a ellanee to meet his committee nor to consid- er who should be recommended for these positions and he did riot see why the same old members should be appointed year after year.

He also thought we should have it real' audit, either we were paying too much or'too little for an annual audit, If the audit was a thorough one the 'auditors were un- ' derpaid, if, it wap not they were get- ting too much.
