Day or Night Phone 147w THURS., JULY 19, 194 THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, OF INTEREST TO YOU AND ME What's this about Premier Hepburn buying`eimself a new car and having another ' presented to him? We thought he said he was going to ride ..a bicycle after he was elected, It appears that, after all the talk, there is -not to be such an absolute deluge of beer, ---=Globe. The Globe doesn't seem to be near- ly as frantic in its fight for temper- ance as one would expect, or as it used to be. The change carne, we be- lieve, when the Liberals threw out the • dry plank as useless timber in its plat- form. Will the Globe advertise beer if and when the ban on such adver- c rising is lifted? According to a statistical report farm values in the three counties, Perth, Huron and Bruce, that is land, buildings, stock, ate., amounts to the suin of $167,304,417. Muton is the wealthiest of the three, its share be- ing $64,677,041. Huron County farm- ,'' ers may be a'bit short of cash ceeas. ionally, four years of low priees are having their effect, but Huron is ene • of the wealthiest counties' in the pro,, vince and leads in several lines of production. 1E El The News -Record decided long ago • •that it would not accept liquor adver- tising, evelt though it were made leg- •al"to so advertise. Such advertising •would bring in money and, goodness -knows, newspapers need it. But still we made.the decision against accept- ' ing the advertising • and _so informed several advertising agencies who in- - quired about it. Advertising in The News -Record promotes sales: and it has no desire to promote the sale of .any sott of intoxicating beverages. Wie are. not mayor of Toronto,. nor -yet chief of police, but from this die, 'tante it looks .as if it might be wise, no matter' what the general opinion' ,of the movement is to let the "hun- ger marchers" march right up to the Governtnent buildings. It is the head -of the government they want to see so let them do so. Itis unlikely that ••any trouble would result, but in case there should be trouble the city police could handle it. Evidently the march ' is being managed front the city, as it is in Toronto 'the headquarters are situated. They seem well organized, sending out correspondence on printed stationery, like any organized 'busi- - ness, i The loss of life by drowning this summer seems to be greater than usual. Greater .care, should 'be taken "by those going into the water, espec- ' ia]ly by those unable to 'swim, and ' those having the guardianship of young people should insist upon every precaution being takers. t In a country like Canada,., where, ' lakes and rivers abound, and where practically everyone likes to go to the lake for 'a holiday, every child —should learn, to swim as surely as he learns to read. Teaching boys and girls to swim and to handle boats, ,taking duo precautions, would ensure • that in future they world be in little • danger from drowning; for as a rule It is the boy or girl who has not been properly taught to deport themselves in water who take the risks. The bey 'who has been used to water all his life ..doesn't rock the boat when there are • non -swimmers in it; he doesn't von- • tnre out when the water is rough, nor • does he entice Mon-swimmere out be- ' gond their depth. Children brought up to behave in the water and in boats snow the danger and do not take un-. -mousse* risks. • And when an em- ergoney occurs they do not lose their heads and they know what to •do and do it quickly. Several of the 'drowning accidents happening recent- ly 'evidently ecently'evidentiy could have'been.avoided -had the young people, concerned been • :able to swim. We have heard a good deal lately -.about the ,Government interfering • with Hydro, but the new premier, '-Hon. Mitchell F. 'Iiepbut'n, has shown more control .over 'this concern than -.anyone , so far. Re declared be- fore the election that if elected Chief 'Engineer "Geby would be dismissed -and, sure enough, 'he was, before he'd -:been in- power:•week, also several ethers. • We have no means 'of, knowing -whether the removal of Mr. Gaby was ..a good move ;or -not, although some' of the newspapers very friendly to the new government protested against it. There may be ,too many engineers In the Commission's pay and others` may be able to carry on the -wok, very few men are absolutely inclispensible,. 13ut if any man, even that man he the premier of the Province and elected by a good ma- jority, can dismiss the Hydro Com- mission at his own whim, appoint an. other at his own whim, and dismiss every and any official without Jet: 05 hindrance, then we think Hydra would need to be put on a different basis The municipalities which own Hydro should asert themselves and see that the project is put upon such a basis that it will not be subject to the whiny of the head of the gov- ernment, irrespective of his political stripe. Mr. Hepburn has demonstrat- ed that Hydro is too much under the dominion of the pasty in power. O E CI The citizen's of the . village of Or, ono are quite worked up over • the rumor that a nudist camp for men is to be established there and the reeve declares that he will not allow it. A visit to a bathing beach any day during the summer would give one the idea that a number of people of both sexes are fast drifting into a nude state. And, indeed, playersof games often do so in about as little clothing as is allowable. Considering the number and' the warmth of men's garments and the hot weather we have had off and on all summer, it is not amazing • that men should wish to get freedom frons some of their surplus garments. But it is really not necessary to discard ail clothing in order to be reasonably comfortable even in the warmest wea- ther. All this discussion about cloth- ing, reminds doe of Cariyle's Sartar Resartns, in which he depicts his Mythical German professor, who de. Glared that - Clothing was first sought by savage ratan not for warmth or comfort, but for decoration, recalling that before clothing was adopted ta- toning and painting of the body was practised, "The first spiritual want of a barbarous man is decoration.. Clothes, which began in. foolishest love of ornamentation, what have they not become .. Clothes have made men of us; they are threatening to make clothes -screens of ns," to quote the Sage of Cheslea. And he later makes his queer professor'',pieteee a. royal drawing -room, with all. the officials, Lords, dukes and the like, marching in state and dignity, and asks us to imagine what it would be like if by some enchanter's wand, all the fine robes of the multitude were to dis- appear and they were all left in na- ture's covering'. "What would Ida- jesty do," he makes the professor go on to say, "could such an accident be- fall in reality; should the buttons all simultaneously start, and the solid wool evaporate, in very deed, as here in a dream. How each skulks into the nearest hiding place ,-'. and with them the whole fabric of Government, Legislation, Property, Police and Civ- ilized Society" . , Lives there a man, questions the Sage again, "that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords? Imagination recoils on itself and will not forward the picture." Clothing is so much a part of our civilization that we cannot imagine it functioning "in the nude."' 'And, while the present generation is pretty daring, we can- not imagine et ciiscarding clothing al- together, even though both sexes. sometimes shed •a bit too much, to suit conservative tastes. We could wish, however, that men would, dun, ing the het weather, take more gen- erally to wearing lighter weight clothing and thus be morecomfort- able.

She has hatched out one wee birdie, and is taking wonderful care of it, while Mrs. Bell, who is now eighty-three years of age, is watching the operations w i t h interest. Like many others, Mrs. Bell had never seen the nest of a humming bird before. This, we think 'is n rare odcurance, as ;few people have *en seen one of these pretty creatures alight.

Elford, of the Central Ex: perimental Farm, was relieved of all responsibility in connection with an automobile accident in which, two people were injured on the Prince of Wales Highway do February 4th, 1933, according to a judgment hand- ed down by the Appeal Court in To- ronto. Plaintiffs in the action were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Craig and they sued the owner of the car in which they were passengers, W. B. Dalton, and Mr, -Elford for substantial damages ,for injuries received when Mr. Dat ton's and Mr. Elford's automobiles crashed near -Prescott. At the trial at Kingston the judge awarded Mr. and Mrs. Craig $5,000 each and apportioned the blame for the Brash at 60 percent.' against Mr. Elf ord, and 40 'percent. against Mr, Dalton. An independent suit taken by Mr. Elford against Mr. Dalton for de. maps done to bis 'automobile wan dismissed with costs. Mr. Elford appealed both judg- ments and the Appeal Court decision relieved Mr. Elford of all' .responsi- . bility and held that Mr. Dalton was 100 percent. negligent.. The action was therefore dismissed with costs, while Mr. Elford's case against Mr. Dalton for dainages to his ear was allowed, plaintiff being awarded $257 and' costs. Lieut. -Col. A. W. Beament and John A. Grace were' solicitors for Mr. Elford, while T. K. Phelan, K.C., and T. Agar, of Toronto, were coun•e sel for Mr, Dalton and Mr. and Mrs. Craig, Workmen's Compensation Statement During the :month of June there were reported to The Workmen's Compensation Board 4,886 accidents, as compared with 4,452 during.
