If our figures are right, the average el- ector in Wiingham votes for an aver- age of four for Council out of a pos- sible six, Every now and again some ideas are brought forth which would do a- way with "plunkers". We have always felt that each person should be com- pelled to vote for a full slate. If six are to be elected then each voter must vote for six and so on. This would make every voter pick the full quota seeking office, . In bur last election. here, early in the Month, the vote was very light. Some means should be used : to get the people out to vote. In Australia it is compulsory that a person record their vote.' Ta force people to go to the polls does not appeal to us but neither' does the fact that often a large number are not sufficiently in- terested to vote. *any who do not turn out election day would be the first to kick if they could not, vote but apparently are satisfied so long as they are on the list. Wingham Advance -Times. THE COST OF WAR Some one with a flair for figures came forward last month with an at- tempt at estimating the cost of the Great War in human lives and cash. It was asserted that a total of 27 na- tions mobilized 65,038,315 persons during the four years, three months and 11 days the war lasted. Of this number 8,538,315 were either killed or died. The cost in dollars, based upon a study made by the Carnegie Endowment for International Pease was estimated at $337,946,179,657.00. By way of comparison, the dead numbered close to the total wartime population of Canada, and the mone- tary outlay was ten times the esti- mated total wealth of Canada. The war cost for Canada has been placed at $1,665,576,032.00, which seems' small in comparison to the world total but in fact was a thirtieth of our estimated national wealth. Whatever way we look at it, war is. a losing investment, its only divi- ends being death and destruction. —Canadian Veteran, BETTER USE ONE Seeking a bit of guidance in some matters of finance we sought the of- fice of the manager of one of our big banks. Please tell me of a really good book on finance?" we asked. Like a shot came the reply. "I think that you have that very book a- bout your house, somewhere. 'I mean the Bible. There is no business book like it for getting down to business fundamentals." Somewhat crestfallen but wonder- ing, we found ourselves on the street, That was in 1908. Well on December 13th, 1937, Cor- dell Hull, Secretary of State for the United States, told the people of the United States a few things about that same book. He told the great Re- public'^ that the Bible alone sets out the basic principles that can guide the world out of its troubled state. Said he among a number of highly significant things: "Time and again, we find ourselves defeated in effortsto improve condi- tions within and among nations sole- ly because of the spirit which ani- mates human relationships," he said. "Our most earnest endeavors often flounder and founder, because we fail to find reliable guidposts in the basic sphere of relations of man to man." Speaking of the manner in which the liberties of the people are being invaded in one way andanother he mentioned, He sees a "drift towards the tyran- ny of man over man, toward an ab- ridgement of destruction .of human liberty; towards a shackling of speech and action and even ofindividual thought and conscience." as caption her opening fine—"I danc- ed last night with Mont Wallace." That was the day Natalie carne to know Jimmy Hale. A likeable boy who swore he couldit't, write ai line ofcopy, he proved to be the best in- structor she could have had in the business of hunting down news, Where things happened, there soon- er or later—generally sooner—Jimmy Hale would be found with his small car loaded with cameras, lamp, and other equipment of his trade. Because the girl was given feature assignments, almost from the first, she and Jimmy were thrown much to gether and he came to, consider her his , special charge. The time was to be when Jimmy would call her in the middle of the night if a story broke and together .they would race. to the spot, Jimmy to prowl for significant picture s and Natalie to hunt gild inter- views and special: details that made good feature material. Jimmy had unerring news hunches and it was he who on that first of their days together, swung the car a- round to the mansion of Jake Marion, west' coast plane builder and halted under the wide portechere. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK. I As a corrective of present-day evils he recommends a return to the daily use of the Bible as a living guide post. he proceeded' he said that any nations that failed to study the Bible and that any individual who neglect- ed its teachings, was but building o n shifting sands. He then quoted the parable of the man who built his house on the sand, "Alt sissy talk," some modern per-. son says. Well, it was this same Cor- dell I3ull who brought Japan to his feet making ane of the humblest apol- agies known to history. A. long life time of achievement proves that Mr. Hull ]snows what he is talldng about. Theme is no book that clears the brain and stiffens the backbone like this neglected Book. ' They call The present hobble in which the business• world is in a re- cession.' They called the muddle of 1929 a slump. It doesn't make the bump one's nose gets• in the dark hurt one whit bhe less by calling the. experience a contact rather a bump. • —Exeter Times -Advocate, HIGHER WAGES OE:' LOWER PRICES ' I Of late the cost of most commodi- ties has risen considerably, so much so, in fact, not to be commensurate with wages, which, though higher than in the past several years still are below the level commodity costs would warrant. The cry that prices must advance before wages has often been heard. It has been a rallying cry and stan- dard around which groups have clus- tered, sometimes using it as a pre- text for upping costs, sometimes as an excuse for failing to raise wages. So it is interesting to note. that the Brookings Institute, in its investiga- tion of causes of the 1929 depression, placed much of the blame on the fail- ure of producers to reduce prices as fast as the cost of manufacture was reduced through the use of bet- ter machines and from better man- agement. At the same time, it is found that living .costs — using the United States as an example, are to- day 14 per cena higher than in 1933. Between these two% facts there seems to be some'relation, which leads many to believe that a move- ment similar to that of 1929 is hap- pening today. As a solution to the problem it is suggested all concerned recognize that free competition is the heart of the capitalist system and that continued progress under that system depends on increasing the production of dis- tributed wealth. Distribution depends more on lower prices generally than on higher wages and higher prices. —Kincardine News. =SNAPSHOT CUIL TRAIN YOUR EYIES. TO SEE • , Railroad yards may be sooty and ugly eye and his pictorial sense can find common WOW many of ;our Guild mem bars, I wonder, go far afield searching for. beauty, in the like- liest places, and do not find it, and canuot understand why?' It is an experience most camera workers have. But, sooner or later, if they are serious workers, they learn a basic principle: that is, that beauty is not so much in the subjects they find as in themselves and the way they look at things. To put it another way: pictures do not exist in a scene but only in the trained eye that can select and single out that which is interesting and good. Few persons beginning to use a camera would think of a railroad yard as a place to find beauty. But one photographer has become world-famous for pietures made Just there. He works when the air is crisp, when a locomotive's exhaust steam fans upward in a great white plume. This steam, contrast- ing with the black of the engine, forms a focal point in each of his pictures. He selects his viewpoint so that the rails, curving away from the locomotive, are high- lighted in long, silvery white lines; lines so arranged that they form his picture's compositional frame- work. Wherever possible, he in- cludes a framing of darkfoliage but the photographer who trains his beauty there—and In every other thing. to give his picture depth and he likes to work when there is mist or fog in the distance so that far- away buildings or figures are re- duced to soft, dim outlines. The objects this photographer works with are not appealing. They are dirty, sooty, ugly. But his pictures are beautiful because he bas trained his eyes to see, to select, to arrange, to recognize mood and atmosphere -in brief, by the use of his creative imagina- tion to extract beauty from ugli- ness. There is magic in photography like this but it is magic open to all. It calls for no wizard's wand but only thought and feeling and the application of your imagination to commonplace things. Kitchen pots and pans are not pretty but I have seen pictures of a group of them, rhythmically arranged and lighted so their texture was "emphasized, that were beautiful. Old shoes are not attractive butI have seen a pic- ture of a pair wet and dripping be- side an umbrella in a hall corner, so photographed that they con- tained all the essence of rainy Autumn. Fellow Guild member, beauty is not over the next hilitop, down the next road—it is inside you. But you must train yourself to bring it out. rc, John van Guilder. NEW INVENTION FOR VIOLINS G. A. Schatte, bandmaster of Wing - ham, has finished an invention for the violin which he feels is the great- est improvement to. violins since 1747. After months of study Mr. Schatte has devised a new system whereby the violin's volume is increased 100 per cent. He feels that violins made with his improvement will give much better balance for higher positions, the high notes being true and full in tone. He claims the invention will be a boon to all stringed instrument players. ARENA CHANGES HANDS The Mitchell Arena was purchased Wednesday last by Mr. Wilfred Hille- brecht from Mr. Arnold Gloor. The management of the rink will remain the same as Mr. Sid Gatenby has rented it from the new owner for the season. It is expected that further improvements will be made to' those already completed by Mr. Gatenby. What is a Bargain? in this community are hundreds of individuals and families on the watch for an advertisement which will offer them what they want at an advantageous price. Call them bargain -hunters if you will, but thrifty shoppers would be the better designation. Thrift is a commendable trait and merchants should cater to it. One family wants a new carpet—the need is not urgent.. An- other family is looking forward to buying dining-roomfurniture— it may not be for a twelve month. One marc is thinking of buying himsielf a watch. One' woman x shopping bag; another an umbrella, All can be made to buy earlier= -by advertising. Advertising' can matte the desire so keen that the bargain is forgotten in the fever for immediate possession. A NOTE TO MERCHANTS Stimulate business by the offer of some slow-moving lines of special prices. Brighten up business by advertising some desirable •goods at reduced prices. Make advertising banish dull business. Often you can tempt the buyer who is biding his or herr time, to buy from you—at a time of your naming.
