The Clinton News Record, 1934-02-22, Page 5'THURS., FEB. 22, 1931 OF INTEREST TO YOU AND (VIE What about a market for Clinton? Wouldn't it be a good thing if it could be arranged? .... Some say a severe winter, means a good crop the following season, There's one crop which we think can have no 'excuse for being light this year, that is the ice crop. Globo yesterday gives the opinion of Dr. W. A. Groves of Fergus, who is gone of Ontario's best known sur- geons, a man who has done wonder' ful work,; n .a small hospital, of the relative value of the large and small hospital. To quote in part: "As it happens, our hospial in Fergus has received a cruel blow from the absurd and cramping regulations imposed. An ener- getic women's hospital aid has saved the situation till we get our training school back, which we intend to do. We do not find that the big hospitals can tell us very much except the art of spending money on 'elaborate equipment, which the graduate. nurse -cannot pos- sibly have at her elbow• when nursing in a home. Of course, the big hospital doctors have an axe to grind through it all. One of them had tithe gall—and' the ignorance—to state, at a nurses' convention in Toronto not' so long ago, that no major opera- tion should be done outside •a large city hospital. We do them in Fergus all the time and are going to keep on doing them. We have heard •of nothing in the air of large cities that is likely to hasten nature's recuperative power on the part of patients, or develop brain power and surgical ingenuity in doctors, any better than that which I ant breathing at the moment, Moreover, we put more soul into our work; so our results are apt to be better though our fees are smaller." • The world grows steadily smaller -and more neighborly when the Can, adieu 'householder and his family can sit in their own home, and listen to the funeral service of an European King, as they did this morning to the funeral of King Albert of Bel- gium; el- gi which was conducted in St. Gudule Cathedral, Brussels. The tragic death of King Albert of• Belgium, which occurred on Saturday afternoon, the result of an accident -while he was indulging in a bit of ',outside exercise in the form of climb' ing, when a -bit' of rock gave way in bis hand and he fell a distance of rover thirty feet, breaking his skull, recalls vividly the days of the war, 'when the monarch of that trampled -and intrepid little country was much in the public eye. King Albert con- tlucted himself throughout those -ter- rible years, as he has since, in such a way as to win the complete admire, 'tion and respect of the world and the love of his own people. A brave sol dier and a pian of honour his name -will ever be held in esteem both in "his own realm and throughout the world. .. . n It no doubt does get on- rathei n •otonous being a "hired man" on a farm. In faot, most jobs are apt to 'become dull at times, so a elrap down at Springfield thought he would in- troduce a little variety by ingenious- ly inventing a little story to the ef- fect that he was a young widow and bad been left a sizable fortune by -the 'death of a grandmother. He managed it so that he got quite a little bit of front page publicity, things be, come dull in newspaper offices,' too, •occasion lly, and a nice little story like tha't helped to cheer a dull day. But alas and alack, the police began 'to look into things and this boy with 'the vivid imagination was subjected to some questioning and the whole 'story was proved a t:oax. Too bad, it was a nice story. We were almost sorry it wasn't true, and no doubt 'the lad was also. He ought to take up fiction writing. Nothing could have so forcibly demonstrated the democratic charac- ter of Belgium's king as the manner of his death. He Ind death by an -accident and his body was undiseov- •ered for hours. Could such a thing have happened to any other crowned -head in the world? We doubt it. He went out to enjoy air afternoon in his favorite pastime of mountain climb, -ing, going suite alone, even as you or I. The driver of his car is left in the car and is not concerned about • his royal master until it is time for his return. There are no 'bodyguards, no secret service then in civil dress unobstrusively looking after the royal head of the nation. Albert, the 'King, dons sport togs and -goes out for a few hours' recreation just as ' the. humblest of his subjects would -do, and nobody bothers about him un- • til it is time for him to return, as would happen to anyone. It was un - 'fortunate in this case, but it really 'proves a very fine spirit between sovereign and people, a camaraderie -seld•onm reached between a monarch •and his subjects. - THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD ammimmumelisonsass THE BEST MARKET FOR BIRTHS HUNTER-1At Alton, 111., Feb. 12th, to Mr, and Mrs. R.

While Mountain -Climb- ing On (Saturday Death as the result of a fall down a mountain side came to Albert, Ring of Belguiin, 'on Saturday afternoon, and he died alone, his body not being found for several hours afterwards. King Albert, -who was fond of out- door sports and was an experienced mountain climber; set out from thee palace in his own car and only ac- companied by his valet, to climb a 200 -foot . cliff about twenty miles from the' capital. Leaving the valet in the car His Majesty went on alone and when he did not return in due time the valet followed some distance and tried to locate his master but darkness came en and he finally cal- led out a search party. The body of the monarch was found at the foot of the cliff, where he had fallen ' a distance of about thirty-six feet. His skull was° fractured and he had been dead some hours. It is supposed that he had caught a projection of frost- bitten rock as he was climbing up- ward, which had given way and los, ing his balance he had been hurled down the cliff side. King Albert was fifty-eight years of age and his death occurred on the eve of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ascension to the throne. His son, Prince Leopold, or the Duke of Brabant, is thirty-two years of age and will be crowned on Friday, the day after the funeral of his royal father. . 9 •. 5 .. Exeter village council has decided to charge owners of police dogs a tax of $20, which will probably be equivalent to prohibiting them al- together, as few people will feel able to pay a $20'dog tax. This action 'has been taken owing to attacks by these dogs•on people and other sinal - 'ler dogs.
