Ladies' Auxiliary of the B. E. S, L.
and the first part of the evening was
spent in cards, the president, Dr, F.
G. Thompson, acting ,as master of

pleasant party.

W'HY IS BELL BUNG -
"Why does the town bell ring at
six o'clock and at seven o'clock each
week -day morning?" was the ques-
tion asked by s lady citizen not long
ago. She went on to say that es
nobody went to work at seven o'clock
'these times she could lee no real rea-
son for disturbing the quiet hours of
the morning with thea clanging bell.
We put it up to the powers that be.
Itfis poesiblethat the ringing of the
six and seven bells does not disturb a.
great many people but they may
greatly disturb some others, On the
other hand, when the ringing of the
six, o'clock bell was discontinued for
a time some years ago, some house-
keepers complained that they did no
know when to get up and start the
day activities so as to get their
family off to work and to school In.

the town bell at six arid seven each
morning necessary now?
JUNIOR INSTITUTE
The members of the Junior Insti-
tute held their regular meeting last
Thursday evening in the board. room.
On account of the icy condition of
the reads, the attendance was nos
very large. In the absence of the
president, Miss Carel Evans, a. for-
mer president occupied the chair.
Nominations . were held for office of
president. Miss Annie Williams was
elected. The roll call was answered
by "The Origin of Place Names in
Huron County." Only a few were
able to. reply. Mlss Carol Evans read
a paper,- which told of the origin of
the townships and of several of the
towns and villages. The townships
were named in honour of men con-
nected with the Canada Cane
pany or those interested in colon-
ization work.
Miss Dorothy BBartiiff and Mrs.
Ian MaeLeed gave a demonstration
on the making of sandwiches, which
was instructive, and interesting. The

A SUDDEN DEATH
Ward has been received in town
of the sudden death of Judge 0. A.

sister of Mrs. A. J. Tyndall of town
and of Mrs. Andrew Porter of Gode

rich.
h.
Judge Nye passed away at his
home in Moorehead, Minn,, on Fri-
day, November the 22nd..
From The Daily News, published
at Moorehead the same day we clip
the following:
"District Judge Carrol A. Nye, 74
died suddenly about 10 a.m. today,
at his ,home 618 Eighth Street, South.
News of his death burst liice a
bombshell on a waiting courtroom,,
where he was expected to take the
bench, He complained of feel-
ing ill at the noon recess the day be-
fore but had eeturned to sit through
the afternoon session. At his home
he became severely ill about 3 a.m.
but he dressed intending to go to
court. He was unable to do so, how-
ever, and died while sitting in hie
room,
It was a heart condition. But
though it was known that he had
this condition his death, came as
a great shock to his family and
friends.• • '
"The sudden passing of Judge
Camel A. Nye is a distinct and grave
loss to the citizens of Moorhead, the
State of Minnesota and the Nation,'
the head of the Clay County Bar said,
on hearing of his death.
Judge Nye wasthe youngest of
three brothers, the eldest of whirr

Nye," writer, speaker, humorist. lie

a resident of Minnesota since 188e.

and their leader, Mrs. Trewartha.
seem to have some very happy times
together.
THOSE OLI-PPINGS '
We received the other day from a
Toronto. Clipping Bureau, a couple
of brown bags of clippings, clippings
from different papers which had been
copied from The News-Rceord. These
were from, daily papers and from
weeklies all the way from Halifax
Vancouver, to Z aneouver, •between two and
three hundred of them,
fIbwould seem as - if The News -Re- '
cord, is doing something to keep
Clinton "on the map," to use a slang
phrase, i
These clippings were from our
news column, especially so when tat, i
en from nearby weeklies, and from
the editorial page and from the
women's page. W'e do not exchange,
with all; the papers, nor with a quar-
ter of the papers who quoted us, but
one paper would copy from an-
other, and in some cases the same
iteni would be quoted in half a dozen
or a dozen papers. We have never l
claimed to be the most quoted paper i
in Canada or even in Huron, but we
notice that a good many papers seem '
to think an item worth reproducing
occasionally.

noon for a skate and had gone once

TRIED OUT FIREI SIREN
Oe Monday afternoon the Bickle
Company, Wloodstoek, sent a repre-
sentative up to give a demonstration
of a fire siren, the town council and
fire brigade being interested in
procuring a new and up-to-date fire
alarm.
The siren was placed on top of the
town hall and, judging from tho
noise it made, such an alarm would
rouse the town pretty well. Members
of the council and brigade 'went to
different parts of the town to test
the carrying power of the siren.
The siren would be operated from
the telephone office, when a fire call
would come in there would be no de-
lay in trying to locate the night-
watchman, who might be at the
other end of the town, but the a-
arm would immediately be started,
Such an arrangement should save
precious minutes at the very begin-
ning and in that way save peeperty
of the citizens.
The 1935 council is merely obtain-
ing all the information possible in
regard to these things and it will
devolve upon the in -coming council
to decide whether or not to make
the purchase of a new fire alaxm.
For many, many years the old
town bell has served as fire alarm,.
When a fire oeeurrs somebody' usu
ally telephones Central, asking it is
can 100, the police office, and have
the bell rung. But the nightwateh
man makes periodical surveys of the
town during the lone hours of the
night and it might happen that he
is out on one of these tramps. In
that case Central .sometimes runs
out into the street and tries to hail
someone or runs up and gives the
bell a . jingle. Citizens have been
known to run out in their night-
clothes to ring the bell.
An alarm which could be 'rung
from the central office at . the first
word of fire would seem to be a great
advantage,
