To the ]Editor of The News, -,Our cotmty officials are finding a lot of fault with the five per cent. cut in their salaries, a cut -which should be begun from parliamentary officials down, in these times of depression, for in regality they are getting higher salary than they have got for years. Take into Consideration the difference. in the cost of living. The producers' wages are cut by more than 50 per cent., and a no doubt the merchants and manufacturers will feel the pinch soon if the ,producer does not get more for his product. None of the off- ficials will tell the producer: "We will give you more for your product and leave our salaries as they are." Hu- man nature is to buy as cheap as one can buy, even when the salesman is the loser. RATEPAYER. -� Euchre and Dance 1111,1moMIENNIIII4 Under Auspices of Canadian Legion G. W. V.

It was a great big 'night and one long to be remembered. • * * * Thirty -First Annual, At -Home of the Huron Old Boys and Girls of To - ionto, Thursday, Feb, 5th, in the. Arcadian Court, Simpson Build- ing. Pipes Skirl. Trumpets and Violins Blare. Swing and Rhythm on the Dance Floor. Bridge, Euchre and "the Eats." The 31st Annual At-IHome of the Huron Old Boys' Association of To- ronto was held in the spacious Ar- cadian Court, Simpson Building, on Thursday evening last, with an at- tendance far exceeding any event in the history of the Association. The Arcadian Court is especially adapted for functions ofthis nature. The large dining -room floor was used for dancing, while the beautiful balcony was used for Euchre and Bridge. - The refreshments were served quickly and without a hitch, and the arrangements were like clock work. :s * * Old Friends Are Priceless. The foregoing is a recital—exiles of Huron at play. Above and beyond it-- what t—what doesit mean ? Mentally one tries to appraise the value of an old friend. There is samefhing• about the friends of yes- terday—the boys whom one stubbed toes with in the long ago—the boy the gang knew as "Freckles" or "Bricktop" or "Curley. Head"; the school girl with her golden tresses hanging down her back curled over her mother's finger,' whom we called perhaps Miss Prim; or the dark -eyed little girl who shot you a roguishly smiling glance as she wended her way to and from s'chool The friends of yesterday I How we like to renew pleasantries and contacts at such delightful gatherings as the Huron 01d Boys' and. Girls' at home in the city of.one's adoption. One takes pardonable pride, too, because these gatherings are second to none. At one's leisure the value. of old friends keeps to the fore. Beyond mental capacity is the value, when measured in pure gold or glittering gems. One tries to say each old friend is worth his or her weight in precious metal, in cut gems. You mentally heap up the volume' of these of highly intrinsic value. Then the thought is closely examined, and one finds the high values are,an under estimate — and you co'neled•e "old friends are priceless"—beyond com- putation. * * * Exiles Who Were There.
