Fire Soon Curbed
Fire was discovered in A. T. Coop-
er's variety store shortly after two
o'clock Thursday morning by Night-
watchman Grealis, who rang the fire
alarm. The fire might have proved
more serious but for the fact that it
was discovered as soon and the alarm
given and also for'the fact that Mr.
Garron and Gordon Ross were at work
at Richmond's Knitting Factory and
immediately ran down, broke in the
front door, went through to the back,
where fire was smouldering in a -table
of underwear. This they threw out
the back door and the fire was curbed.
It was not necessary to turn'on the.
hose. Mr. Cooper has asked for an
investigation as those first on the
scene say that' there was a•~iro•1•esiii
the glass of the rear door near where
the fire originated. The loss is not
serious, it is 'believed, and will be
well covered by insurance. — Clinton

Business Changes Hands
A business change which has been
pending for some time was comlileted
last week when Mr. J. M. Elliott,
leased his garage biuilaing to the
Supertest Co., and sold his garage to
Messrs. Brock and Oxenham, of Sar-
nia, who took immediate possession.
This business was owned by Mr. El-
liott's father, the late J. W. Elliott,
who operated a livery business for
many years and when cars came into
use added cars to horses, .until they
completely superceded them. Mr. J.
M. Elliott has conducted the business
for the past seven years, hating
greatly improved the stand during
his ownership. Mr. Elliott has taken
a position as travelling representative
for a battery company and will con-
tinue • to make his hoarse in Clinton..

BAYFIELD
Intended for last week.'
The death has occurred at his resi-
dence in Bayfield of one who in his
active career was widely known in
tie medical profession of Western
Ontario, in the person of Ninian
Wildridge Woods, M.R.C.S., Erg.; L.
R.C!PiL, I .R.C.P:L, L.M., Ro;nnda,
Dublin. lHe .was born in the Royal
Naval Barracks, Plymouth. England,
on May 12, 1860, the second, son of
W -tl'am H. Woods, Royal Naval Sur-
geon, and Emily R. Knipe, of Dublin,
Ireland. He received his early edu-
cation at the Blue Coat School. New -
Cross, England, and, studied medicine
at St. Bartholomew"s, London, Eng.,
and in Dublin, Ireland. After prac-
ticing in London and ,other poinrs in
England, he cause to Canada in 1390
to visit his cousins here and started
a practice. In 1901 he was married
to Margaret Fisher Buchan, daugnt'er
of the late Walter Ewing Buchan
and Jane Ellen Laudey of Durham.
They had two daughters, both of
whom survive, Lucy R. and Jean M.
In 1917 he was, obliged to relinquish
his practice owing to arthritis, at
which time he was appointed post-
master, holding the •position ur.til his
death. Although he was in failing
health for the past two years, his
condition was not serious until Sun-
day. He took an active part in mun-
icip•al affairs and was reeve of the
village for several years. Besides his
widow and two daughters he is sur-
vived by a sister, Miss Lucy K.
Woods, Greystones, County .Wicklow,
Teeland, and a brother, Lt. -Col. A. E,
Woods, C.S.I„ 'Alessio, Italy.
Are not the people who look to
supernatural agency for guidance in
daily conduct psychologically in the
same boat with those who call for
"a great leader" and look to a Mus-
solini, a Hitler, or a Roosevelt to
guide them in the paths of good gov-
ernment?—Dr. L. P. Jacks.
The college • graduate has learned
that education pays, but what he
would like to know now is when.—
Eureka 'Humlboldt Times.
In a recent court case a 19 -year-
old girl swore she had never been
kissed. Enough perhaps to make any
modern young lady swear.—Glasgow
Herald.
A sinking feeling, according to a
medical writer, is sometimes the ef-
fect of bathing too soon after a meal.
Another explanation is that the
bather can't swim.—London Punch,
The Sensation
We Call Thirst
'The sensation which we call thirst
is a signal that the body is in need
of more fluid. The secretion of saliva
decreases in sympathy with a gen-
eral loss of body fluids; the ,throat
is not lubricated; there is a feeling
of dryness, and we say that we are
thirsty. ,
IFdr a time, this sensation may be
overcome by chewing anything which
causes an increase in the flow of
saliva. This does not, of colnse, re-
lieve .thirst, but it does, for a time,
overcome the sensation of dryness of
the throat arising from thirst. The
demand for fluid should be heeded
when it makes itself felt, because at
this time the body really needs more
fluid in order to perform, its func-
tions properly.
The best and most simple way to
quench' thirst and to provide the
body with the 'fluids it requires is .by
drinking water. It is unwise to drink
quickly large amounts of cold water.
Cold water should be sipped; this
allows for its pleasant coolness to be
felt in the throat and avoids chilling
of the stomach.
What the individual drinks is
largely a matterof habit, and if the
individual prefers to add something
to the water, there is no objection,
provided the material added is harm-
less, or, better still, if the added
material Is something of value, such
as fresh fruit juice. The use of fresh
fruit beverages supplies not only a
pleasant way of quenching thirst, but
'also of securing minerals and vita-
mins in abundance.
Much of the fluid required by the
body is secured from our foods which
contain a large percentage of water.
Milk' is almost ninety per cent. wa-
ter, and so literally it provides both
food and drink.

Sectional Meeting
,On Monday, October 23rd, the Sec-
tional meeting of the W. M. S. of
Central Huron met at Moncrieff.
Nearly all of the different societies
were well represented. The morning
.session was opened by the Moncrieff
ladies. Mrs. Cummings in a few well
chosen ren•arks, welcomed the ladies
and a reply was given by Miss Mc-
Kercher, of McKillop.
After the minutes and business of
the meeting, splendid reports were
given by the different Auxiliaries, as
well as the Y. W. Circles and C. G.
I. T., also the Mission Bands and
Baby Bands. After the singing of
the hymn, "Where Cross the Crowded
Ways of Life," Mrs. Rattenbury, of
Brucefield, led' in prayer.
The afternoon session was opened
by Londesboro Auxiliary. The ladies
were then addressed by Miss Edith
Sparling, who as a missionary, has
spent twenty-five years in China. She
took as her text, "Look to yourselves
that we lose not those things which
you have gained." She told of the
marvellous changes that have taken
place in China in that time, and how
when the 'Chinese people do accept
Christ as their leader of theiveitoti-
derful faith and their untiring efforts
to spread the Gospel and to give out
of their poverty to maintain the
schools of education. When Mies
Sperling first went to China in her
field of labor there were 3 'schools
and 200 pupils, now there are eighty -
Ove schools and 6,04)0 pupils. She
told of how the little .children were
so impressed with the teachings of
Jesus, that one little child, five years
old, after hearing of the crucifixion
of Jesus, was found sobbing and ev-
en refused to eat because they had
killed her Jesus.
Mrs. J. A. Stewart, of ,Seaforth,
then sang 'beautifully, "A 'Stranger
From Galilee." A pageant, "The
Challenge of the Cross" was well
put on by the senior girls of Win-
throp Mission Band. Mrs. Gardiner,

Writer Of Hill Songs
When those cowboys, who lean ov-
er the imaginary corral fence of the
radio studio, break into one of their
haunting songs, it's Carson Robin-
son who leads them. And Robinson's
direction of his Buckaroos is one. of
the factors that ' lend such a note
of authencity to radio's weekly dra-
matie ;series based' on the legends• of
the olil. west. The songs are real
tunes of the hills and plains handed
down from the pioneer•:: of covered
wagon days, Mingled with then' oc-
casionally are sometof the two hun-
dred or more songs written by Rob-
ison.
The atmosphere in which • Carson
Robinson was reared probably '• had
quite a lot to do with his choice of a
career as a singer and writer of hill -
hilly and cowboy tunes. He was born
in Chetopa. Kansas. His father, who
was a cowboy by occupation, played
the violin for amusement, and his
mother was a talented songstress.
Carson sang and played with the
family quartet and at` an early age
composed an anthem to he included
in their repertoire. His musical . as-
signements in those days were the
church organ and guitar accompan-
iments to his father's fiddling.
When he was fifteen Carson ran
away from home and landed in Vin-
ita, Okla„ where he got a jab riding
and driving horses. Ranch work oc-
cupied hint until 1915, when he chang-
ed his occupation' to railroading in
Tulsa, Okla., and southern parts of
Kansas. During 1917 and 1918 he
served with the array. After the
war he devoted his talents exclusive-
ly to music. The fad for hill billy
songs 'brought him to the crest of
popularity in New York about 1927,
and he made hillbilly fans of John
Bull's stolid citizens with a six
months' engagement in one of Lon-
don's leading hotels. His Buckaroos
—John and Bill Mitchell and Pearl
Pickens—accompanied him on this
trip.
,Robinson made his radio debut on
Station WDAF in Kansas City, Mo.,
in 1923, and radio, vaudeville, phono-
graph recording, and motion pictures
have occupied all his working time
since then. When he relaxes nowa-
days he goes to his farm near Pough-
keepsie, N. Y., where he keeps same
high spirited western horses. The
farm 'means a great deal to him. He i
would live in the country all the time
if his work permitted, As a matter
of fact his farm figures rather large-
ly in his work. Four people who live I
and work on it are the most reliable
critics of his work on the air. Each
week, when he goes to the farm) af-
ter his program, they tell what they
liked and what they didn't like about!
it. One of the critics—nnd the most ,
severe—is his son, Carson, Jr.
The married life of Carson Rohl -
son and his wife is a real radio ro- I
mance. Mrs. Robison was Catherine'
A. Barrett, formerly secretary to
Nathaniel Shilkret, one of radio's ,
most popular 'maestros. Besides Car-,
son, Jr., there are two other children ,
--Patricia Ann, four years old, and
Robert Arnold, who will only have a'
birthday every four years. 'He was
born on February 29, 1932.
Robison doesn't like crowds, bluf-
fers or successful artists who develop
"big heads." Will Rogers and raisin
pie stand high in his estimation, and
never in his life has he had enough
fishin'.
Counterfeiters' Foe
Superintendent J. W. Phillips of
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
is the scourge of dope rings.
'Because of his consistent work he
Cleaned up much of the narcotic traf-
fice that went on in Montreal. •
Counterfeiters and forgers also have
heard of Phillips. Whether with pa-
per currency or silver, counterfeiters
cannot last long once the R.C.M.P.
put Phillips on the case. There was
a family of farmers who found that
nut, too. They had ,lost severat hun-
dred dollars to a stranger who took
it and promised to return with a large
amount of counterfeit currency to the
farm folk living some'distance out of
Montreal.
The stranger failed to show up and
so the farmers, believing here an
easy way of peaking money decided
to do their own .money making. They
procured the services of an expert
etcher and got together all the equip-
ment necessary for counterfeiting on
a large scale. Less than a week af-
ter they had begun operations they
had printed between 1,500 and 2,000
bills. Then a knock came at the door
of the isolated farmhouse. The
Mounties were outside.
But Phillips was 'not always chas-
ing dope rings and counterfeiters. He
used to have an Arctic beat, and
while making his usual patrol one
year he and his two men had a thrill-
ing escape from death. It happened
that they were out on the ire -strewn
Arctic Ocean near Herschell Island.
Their small boat was seaworthy, and
they were making good time for the
post, when a storm sprang up. Too
far from their destination to make
it in such weather, they headed for
the nearest Eskimo village, eight
miles away. The storm had come
suddenly and as suddenly their mast
snapped, went overboard and the
small boat took aboard a lot of wa-
ter. The mast chopped away, the
boat bailed, many supplies thrown
overboard to lighten the small craft,
the three men hoped to make shore.
But their chances slipped when the
little boat crashed into one of the
many floating chunks of ice. The
three policemen were in the water.
The struggle for life was on. From
one chunk of ice to another they
scrambled, and where the :jagged -ice
flees were far • apart they hitched
their belts and suspenders together
to forum a life -line. So they fought
the ice-cold water and. the ice floes
for ten hours. Then they made share
a bleak barren spot with little drift-
wood to make a fire, and a cold wind
'blowing from shore. With only a
few of their wet clothes left they
rested in the lee of the best shelter
they could build. One constable was
delirious, Phillips had sprained his
ankle, s;1sd the third man eventually
was sent for help. Before he came
back, Phillips sighted a sterna tossed
whaler which took him and the de-
li/di:file constable aboard. When the
police reached the nearest settlement
thef found the third man not yet ar-
rived. A search party located hum
ten miles away, unconscious, but still ,
living.
Apples For France
The quota for importations into
France of apples and pears from
Canada for the last quarter of this
year has been fixed at 2,941 metric
quintals and for bran at 1,350 metric
quintals. The metric quintal equals
220.4 pounds.
Scottish Sheep
'According to the fourth census of
agricultural production in Scotland,
in 'X930131, a report of which will be
issued Shortly, the steady increase in
the number, of sheep since 1920, when
stocks were at their lowest, is one
of the marked features of post-war
agriculture in Scotland. In 1931 a
total of 7,831,000 sheep was return-
ed, the largest numlber in 40 years.
In 1932 a still larger number of sheep
was recorded. The wool' clip of 1931
—27,300,0'40 pounds—including akin
wool, the value of which is included
under mutton, naturally kept pace
with the increase in flocks.
