NOT NEED PENSIONS.
•
On a recent editorial the Lucknow
Sentinel said that:
In proportion to population, the
gammas -of Bruce county have sent in
fewer applications for old age
pensions than have the people of any
ather nationality in the county.
• We long ago heard it said that the
German farmer would always build
a good barn before building a good
bouse. There was profit in a good
barn, while a good house meant only
comfort and show. As a rule the Ger-
mans of Bruce reared large families
and everybody worked and saved.
That, of course, can be carried too
far, and doubtless in many cases is
carried too far, but the outcome is
better than when the family goes to
the other extreme and the children
get money to spend on every whim,
to the injury of their health and the
cultivation of wasteful habits.
That is a situation that is not pe-
culiar alone to the County of Bruce
The same may be said of the Can-
adians of German descent in the
counties of Perth and Huron and there
are many of these in both the latter
counties.
The industry and economical habits
of the Scotch are proverbial, yet we
question if these qualities have been
preserved in equal measure by the
descendants of the original Scotch
stock that pioneered in Huron, as by
the descendants of our first German
settlers.
Some of the finest farming sections
in this county are owned and occupied
•by German Canadians, and no place
will one see finer farm buildings and
cleaner, better tilled lands.
These farms, like all others in
Huron, were carved out of the virgin.
forest, but unlike so many other
farms one sees on every hand, they
have not flourished for a geneeation,
and then been practically abandoned,
or which is even worse, allowed to re-
vert back to a state of nature, an eye -
sere and a weed menace to the neigh-
bbring farms and farmers.
Year after year and generation af •
ter generation these farms which
were settled on by their 'original Ger-
man settlers have been improved un-
til to -day they are outstanding in
their beauty, their fertility, their
buildings, stock and equipment, and
all this has been attained in spite of CHISELHURST
the growing scarcity, year by year,
of farm labor of every kind. For
like their cousins in Bruce county,
these German farmers have reared
large families but unlike too many
families of other nationalities of
vhich Ontario is composed, they were
not spoiled with too much money or
allowed to cultivate wasteful habit".
They were taught the art and science
of work, which is a priceless asset
to any boy or any girl, whether his
or her after life may be lived on a
farm or in any other walk of life.
It is this love of work for work's
sake, as much as for the monetary
returns this work has brought them,
that has put these farmers of Ger-
man descent at the forefront of agri-
culture in Ontario to -day. They may
not know as much about cars as they
do about live stock; they may know
less about the change of styles than
they do about the rotation of crops,
but they do know how to work. Work
to them is not drudgery, simply a
means to an end and while performing
it they live a full, happy and content-
ed life and one which has brought as
a reward, the beautiful farms and ev-
en wealth which they possess.
In proportion to population, we be-
lieve that a census would disclose a
maller number of applications from
• eople of German descent for old age
pensions, than from any other na-
tionality. They do not need them.

that is not so. In fact at no time in
the past fifty years would one dollar
buy more than five would,to-day.
No one would want to or perhaps
could exist under the living condi-
tions of fifty years ago, but, at the
same time, the luxurious living con-
ditions which exist to -day, have not
fostered in the parents or engendered
in the young a greater or even an
equal spirit of contentment or joy of
living than those existing in the gooi
old days.

We read the other day in the hap-
penings of fifty years ago, which ap-
pear in each issue of The Globe, a
notice to the effect that laborers were
being paid at Clinton at the rate of
fifty cents per day and boarding them-
selves.
We hear so much these days about
the good old times, it makes one won-
der how .many of the great army of
extollers of those days can remember
when they lived and brought up thriv-
ing families oe fifty cents per day.
Of course, we take it that fifty
cents per day was the standard of
wages fifty years ago, and not just
Clinton's ireannesa, because Clinton
was never what might be called a
progressive town and could not be ex-
pected to set the standard of wages
for the county, nor swing the world by
the tail.
Even to -day fifty cents is still fifty
cents, but how many would like to
try or could live on it, not to mention
the family. Yet, as history records,
it has been done, and there are many
husky descends zi is living to -day whose

HENSALL
Sadly Bereaved.—Very much sym-
pathy is felt for Rev. A. Sinclair, pas-
tor of the United Church here, who
was summoned to Sarnia last week
on account of the quite sudden death
of his father, the late Isaac Sinclair,
of the town of Sarnia, who was liv-
ing there at the time of his death,
which followed very closely a severe
attack of pneumonia. On the very
day of the funeral of his father, on
Thursday of last week, Mr. Sinclair
hastened back from the funeral to
the home of his brother, James, in
that town, who was taken very seri-
cusly ill with the same dread disease.
He was just in the home with his
brother a few minutes and after pass-
ing him a glass of water, saw him
almost immediately pass away, so
that it was indeed a most distressing
time for Rey. Mr. Sinclair, and, as we
have said, very much sympathy is
felt for him.

of Saskatchewan, and J. II., of Well -
wood, Manitoba„ coming that long
distance. Mr. Caldwell was a man
of fine sterling qualities, well read and
informed on nearly all matters per-
taining to church and state, and took
a great interest in everything that
made for the advancement and wel-
fare of the community, and at what
was known as Fansville, in past years,
a few miles west of our village, took
a great interest in the Methodist ceased being a He member of that
Church, in which he held important society, Mr. John Passmore taking
offices and was for many years a the part of the Noble Grand and G.
Superintendent of the Sabbath school, J. Sutherland that of the chaplain. A
and influenced many lives for good. In large number of Oddfellows were
politics he was a life-long Conserve- present to pay their last token of re-
tive and served on many committees spent and six of their number acted
and was a close reader and well past-
ed on all matters connected with his
party. As a neighbor and friend he
was most kind and helpful and being
of a bright optimistic vision, with a
never failing fund of anecdotes, made
him a most interesting companion and
friends in social circles. As a young
man he enlisted with the Exeter Regi-
ment at the time of the threatened
Fenion Invasion and was ready to do
service for his country, and we have
heard it related that one morning at
that time he got up in the very early
hours, walking to Exeter, a distance
of over ten miles, enlisting under the
late Dr. Hyndman, Sr., of Exeter,
who was at that time as Captain,
training a number, and after march-
ing for some hours in practice with a
number of others, he drove in a lum-
ber wagon to Clinton, where they got
in all that pertained to the commun-
ity in which he lived in the way of
schools, fairs, etc., and will be great-
ly missed. The funeral service was
held at the home here on Tuesday'
afternoon last, his pastor, the Rev. A.
Sinclair, conducting the service, and
during which he paid high tribute to
the life and character of the deceas-
ed. A fine hymn, a favorite af Mr.
Caldwell's, was splendidly rendered as
a quartette by Mr. W. 0. Goodwin,
William A. McLaren, John Passmore
and Thomas Sherritt. At the close
of the first part of the service that
of the Oddfellows followed, the de -
as bearers. The funeral tribute of
flowers was most large and beautiful.
The remains were interred in what is
known as the Fansville, Cemetery, a
few miles west of our village, on the
Zurich Road, and just across the road
from the home farm of the deceased
The attendance at the funeral was
very large. Those coming.from a dis-
