The Clinton News Record, 1936-02-13, Page 5'THIJRS., FEB.13,1936 THE CLINTON NEWSRECORD PAGE 5 OF INTEREST .Tb ,YOU. AND .ME Tomorrow is Ste Valentine e. Day The number of fires repotted in the mast few weeks should .have the ef- fect of enaking all householders cafe - fel in regard .to flee. With extea -heat needed in the homes, the danger of fire is increased, 'but'. care and :-thorghtfuhness may avert a tragedy, In the death of Dr, A. H. U. Col- • ••quhoun, for over'a quarter of a sen- '`tury Deputy ,Minister of Education, ••on Sunday, Toronto,• the Prov- -ince and the Deininion -lost a high class; citizen. A Dian of many gifts ,and attainments, of retiring dispoei- tion and of modest mein, .possessed •of fine conversational powers, of a 'keen sense of humour, and of court- - eons, manner, he was a, man whom it was a pleasure to meet tend an honour 'to know. A very real and gallant gentleman, whose passing leaves the ''world the poorer by "his absence, 'though his native land is greatly en- riched by his sojourn in it for the span of his life. Forty years ago ,rhe News-Rocord stated that it,refueed to tender for the. county minting because the price ' was so low'thet it was andercost price. It is a curious fact that this class of work has iilways been done "for less' hen' cost in Huron County, and is being done at present. The :News -Record during the 'past fifteen '.years once put in a tender, at a fair, :not by any ' means ani ' exhorbitant, price. We were fan underbid and have not since tendered. The only reason wliy the county printing is being done 'now. at the price It is, is ‚that some .publishers would rather keep their'staffs busy, even et work which 'does :not pay,•'than ..,to.:have' them standing idle and not •earning .• even. half their pay. But what we. can. never .get 'into • our head is 'why' a wealthy county like Huron is willing be accept work which is not fully paid for from hard- working,. taxpayers in the , county. • Of course, the ,printers are themsel- - ves tp blame. They should not do the ' work at • less than cost. The Toronto Daily. Star Saturday had the following nvith which we a- • gree. If the' bareheaded guys have trotible with their bad ears, neural • gia and kindred ailments as they 'grow older they need not'look'far for 'the cause. Heads need to be protected 'in such cold weather aswe've had lately, also during the" hot suns of July and. August. The bare -headed ' fad should be followed with discre- tion: "On Bloor street on Thursday about four o'clock' a young man was seen—a tall, well-built, sane-, looking young man—standing on a corner facing the zero winds, and he had bn a muffler, heavy gloves, an overcoat and over- ' shoes. He was heavily garment- ' ed arment-':ed against the blasts of winter from chin to foot, but he was 'bare -headed. ' For many years fads have come and gone, leaf this fad of going bare -headed in all weath- ' ers seems the most foolish of all, One can come across no reasoned advocacyof it., You either do it or you do not. But when one 'sees a man on a bitter cold day heavily clothed,.overshoes, over-• eoat, fur gauntlets, a walking= • stick and all, yet bare -headed, one always feels like following - him home to see if he goes 'into the asylum gate. And no matter ' -how' cold it is, one wishes it were colder. They should not do this unless they are prepared to publish a monthly ,journal explaining why they do it, •They must know that to ordinary people they seem 'nutty, If they left off their ov- •sreoats, their overshoes, their mitts and ' their mufflers . ono could recognize them as defiers • of the cold, But when they e'rap themselves up like the rest ••of us in heavy clothing and for-, -get their hats they just seem nutty do the rest of us. No doubt any one of them may say that whether he wears a hat or not is his own business, and to an ex- tent this .is 'true because there is no law to compel him to wear a hat ,but he looks so 'unreas- onable in zero weather that he causes distress to kind-hearted people. And ire shouldn't do that" Young men are not the only ones •Who go bare-headed„as we also have come girls who leave their hats at "home or carry, them in the hand. And another thing which snakes us marvel is the slight of girls, and -of- +'ten women who should know better, warmly wrapped up in a fur coat, ;hat, muff, fur. -trimmed goloshes, and milling on the nether limbs between the goloshes and the. bottom of the ".Cur coat butt a pair of hose of the 'weight:': and :warmth : of a cobweb, Wo sero ':have taken a' lot of abuse in •'their• time, as for instance the wear- ing of tight -corsets for'several gen- •. erations, but our guess is that the ;present generation of girls will not escape the consequenses of this ex- pospre of a delicate pairt'of the ent- ony to the rigors of one northern winters. Oh for soinebody with ln, ':fluence in the fashionable world who would come opt with a light -weight, warm legging to be worn onehe street and ' taken off when indoors. It night save much 'suffering and • Mean added health to the evoinee of •-our land. A lovely rose which was presented to ,the writer over a week ago, which has been "watched and tended„ care- fully to keep from frost and is stili quite perky, displayedwhen opened that it had two .hearts. That was a real St. Valentine rose wasn't it? We like two -hearted roses and when ' or- dering roses in future we shall stip- ulate that they have double hearts. New inventions are said to be so. convenient that people will be able to keep house without the aid of servants, lead a teeth -the -button sort of an ex- istence. But we have not heard of anything yet which will get one out of bed and dressed ready for ,the of- fice on a cold morning -such as we've had, this Winter without the exer- cise of an individual will power. • An electric needle has been invent- ed which, it is said, will start the heart beating after it has stopped. When the time comes for our heart to stop beating of its own accord we hope they will justleave it alone. We do not wish to be electrically restored to life, just to prove the efficacy of any modern invention. Besides, we fancyby that tine we shall have had enough of this life and will be con- tent to go on and try another. And, truth to tell, this nice old world, which has been more or less kind to us, may be quite content to allow us to go. . The Federal Parliament was opeh ed last Thursday, with less pomp than usual, as all the ladies present at the opening wore black,in honour. of the late King. As a .newspaper• pointed out, there was a new king on the throne, a new government in power and a new governor-general as repre- sentative in Canada. And, what may be prophetic for this Dominion, there were two women members present, in- stead ofonly one, which. has. been the case for the past three parlianments, There was a second woman member in the senate, also. SUN LIFE ASSURANCE SEES SOME L'VIPROVEMENT Montreal February 10th,—Define ate signs of improvement h general business conditions can be gathered from the 65th Annual Report of the Sun Life . Assurance Company of Canada just released for publica- tion by Arthur B. Wood, President and Managing Director. The state- ment. reflects the strength and sta- bility of life insurance, a voluntary co-operative movement which for generations "has stood every test. Life insurance companies' annual statements always considered bat:•- ometers of general business condi- tions in the territories they operate in,_have'been accurate indicators dur- ing the depression and since 19333 have shown, in no uncertain terms, that general business .s making head- way. The Sun Life's financial statement for 1935 shows still ferthur strength- ening and improvement, just as the report for 1934 showed progress over 1933, the year the depression reach- ed its low point. Another definite sign of improved business and lessening of tniemploy- ment, gathered at the meeting, is the increase in Group Assurance, design- ed primarily forcommercialand in- dustrial plants. This phase of the Sun Life's business shows an increase foe the year of twenty-three per cent. Payment to policyholders and their beneficiaries since the company was organized 65 years ago exceed nine hundred one sixty-eight million 'dol- lars and during 1935 payments of this nature were over eighty million dollars: Mr. Wood, in commenting on gen- eral business conditions in the coun tries where the Sun Life operates and the prospects for 1936 in the United States, Great Britain: and Canada, the three countries where the com- pany secures most of -its business that the world is slowly but surely emerging from the depression and that although many uncertainties as to the future 'still exist and that Him* will be setbacks from time to time the significant factor is—that all those indices' by which' business improvement is judged clearly in- dicates n-dicate- that fundamental economic forces are gradually having their ef- feet in bringing about recovery and that this continent, is steadily ap- proaching' normal conditions. 'WHERE'S THERE'S A WILL The problem of transportation over impassable roads in• sub -zero weather was solved Tuesday,last, ac- cording to a report from '•Seaforth, when a wedding party from St. Col - timbale passed through the town in the body of a Forel car decorated with placards and mounted on a bob- sleigh. driven by a span of horses tied with white ribbons. The St. Felix de Valois Co-opera- tive ,Egg• and Poultry Marketing As- soeration, Quebec, in 1935 handled 251,000 dollen eggs which are sold to pevehasers of ;all grades at an'aver- age aver -age • price for the entire year of 23:6 cents per dozen, This price was ap- proximately three cents better` than. that secui,edby producers marketing through other ` channels• in the dis- trict.'' Operating costs were approx- imately four cents .a dozen.

Lots of snow for snowshoing 'these days. "CATTLE NEED BOTH FEED AND WATER. IF ANYTHING WATER . MOST IMPORTANT" A Practical Farmer's Opinion The News -Record reporter was strrick Tuesday by a statement in Tor- onto dailies credited to the Hon. Mr. Nixon, to the effect that cattle would not suffer' from lack of water as long as there was plenty of snow on the ground, • , Having lived in the country the greater part of a busy life and having witnessed on many occasions the ex- tra work undertaken by farmers in order that cattle might have free ac- cess to water during winter weather, despite plenty of snow, this didn't seem reasonable to us, but not feel, Ing that our knowledge was suffic- ient to warrant a refutation of the statement, we consulted a practical Goderieh Township farmer about it. "Will cattle do without water in winter when there is plenty of stow on the ground?” we asked hire. "Oh, they need water, too,” lie answered. We then told him about Mr. Nixon's contention. "He may mean cattle on range," he said, "hut certainly cattle which are housed need water and plen— ty of it. It is one of the farmer's greatest problems, supplying his stock with drinking water during the winter months. Sheep will do with less. But cattle need both feed and water and if anything, water is the most Import- ant." niport- ant " This farrier has water hi his stables each beast ,having its own drinking cup, (think of that, you kids who use a common cup for drinking) but he said that he had on many an occas- ion dug out a drinking place in a creek before getting the above convenien- ces installed, so that his stock night have a good supply of fresh water. Mr. Nixon said he knew what he was talking about when snaking this deivery about the thirst problem on farms, but here at least is one prac- tical faience who disagrees. Later on in the spring, when the Snow begins to thaw and rue in furrows and hollow places, no doubt cattle which ave al- lowed to run out for a period each day might easily find drink, but in the weather we have had unless they ehoul'eat the snow, and no doubt•if they were thirsty they might do this, they would suffer for want of drink, NEWS IN BRIEF Malcolm MacDonald , Secretary' of State for the Dominion, who was de- feated in the General • elections a few weeks age, was returned in a by- election in Scotland: on Mpnday.

He recommended the separation of these young offenders from older and more hardened criminals. "Tee great maj- ority of young convicts,'.' the report reads, "find themselves in, penitet- iary due to a weakness or inhibition arising from inappropriate early training, their greatest defeet being lack of self-control;' . The Reeve of Sandwich East, who last week refused to take the oath of allegience to Ring Edward VIII, sign- ed a shorter oath this week. He'ex- plained that the oath prescribed by the Ontario Department of Municipal affairs, contains an oath to bear arms, that another one, the one taken by members of parliament, is shorter and reads as follows: "I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true alleg- ience to his majesty, King Edward VIII, his successors; accord- ing to law, so help me 'God." The other oath he described as "a military oath unlimited in scope." The members of the council of Sandwich East also sub- scribed to the 'shorter oath. • John Trewin, a Toronto man and six others, whohave been engaged in missionary work in the Soudan In- terior Mission, are reported as being held captive. • The Ethiopian Gov- ernment has ordered their release. Kisses sometimes come high.

Definate announcement that legis- lation will be introduced allowing Ontario separate schools a share of corporation taxes was madein the speech from the throne which marked the opening of the Ontario Legista- tene On Tuesday. It was also suggest- ed that township school boards will he brought into being to improve the or- ganization of rural schools. Another highlight was the announcement that "arrangements have been made to construct 800 miles of rural hydro lines to serve 6000 rural customers." Rt: Hon, R, B. Bennett leader of the opposition in the House of .Com- mons the other day asked that the Robert Simpson Company be probed. He charged that the president of this company was a heavy contributor to the Liberal cause in the last two elec- tions and that wages were withheld from the staff to bring up profits. That employees were compelled to take holidays without pay. The Simp- son Company has since denied these charges, giving the amount of wages paid in several years. At the assize court. held in London this week it was brought out that Henry Walker had supplied inform- ation to Premier Hepburn that the highway payrolls were padded during the. Conservative regime,'but when asked to come before a committee and. testify he demanded $1.000 in pay- meet, which was.refused,by=the Prem- ier. Prime Minister Mackenzie Ring in- timated in his speech on the address in reply to the speech from the throne that he would recognise but two part- ies, the government and those who supported the leader of the opposition, R. 13. Bennett. All others 'would be grouped to- gether ea "inclepen.dants," no matter by what name they called themselves. Arthur Slaght, r member!. from Par- ry Sound, in which riding resides the famous 'five ' sisters and Dr. Dafoe, gave the members of the House of Commons a warm invitation to go up, to Callender and see the Quiets. The Ontario member drew a laugh from the House when he extended particular invitations to Premier King, , Conservative Leader Bennett, Postmaster -General Elliott, and De- fense Minister Mackenzie, four bachelors. If they went to Callender, Mr. Slaght assured them, they would find "five of the most charming young ladies in the world. • Lord Tweedsmuir will be called to the bar and made an honagy bencher of the Law Society of Ontario when. he visits Toronto in a week or. so.
