Just Fifty-five Years Ago 'It -was just fifty-five years ago on Wednesday of this week, that the first business deal over a telephone, is said to have been made in Ontario. Looking -ahead, fifty-five years is a long stretch of time, but there are marry people living to -day to' whom looking back upon fifty-five years of their lives it would seen that' the space of time must have been mea- sured in months rather than years. Time has a way of slipping by un- noticed;- and things once looked upon as miraculous, soon become cominvdi1 place necessities. 'It is so with the telephone. There are, people in every coniimunity who can well remember when the tele- phone was looked upon as an experi- mental toy; a marvel to be exhibited at world fairs, but n'ot an instrument that cpul•d ever be coniverted into practical use for every day life. To -day the telephone is no longer a marvel, but a household necessity, in country, town and city alike. ,Take the telephone suddenly out of our lives to -day and what would hap- pen? Wouldn't the world pretty nearly come to a sudden stop? Just about that when you come to think of it. Business would be utterly demoraliz- ed and people would be helpless with- out it, wouldn't they? Yet hrSysfive Years ago the tele- phone 'was practically an unknown thing. People did business without it. Bought and sold and made and Iost Rr-+oney without it. rFantily life was lived without it,. and perhaps all the more happily and peacefully because of its absence, A .-telephone: then was not a necessity, not even a family topic. ` No home had one; no home wanted one; no home even dreamed of having one fifty-five years ago. 'What a queer world it must have been to live in, a little over a half century ago. And what a queer worla ours will be to the people living ir. the world fifty -'five years from now. • An Example Should be Made Last winter the town au:theritiee -supplied almost countless meals to unemployed transients p a s s.i n g through the town. In addition many householders sur - plied almost daily meals and in most eases clothing of sonie kind to simi- lar unfortunates who came to their doors. This winter 'will see ii' similar 'sit- uation. In all probability the town will be called upon tosupply food to on even greater number of unfoetc.n- ates than last year. No citizen objects. In fact most consider themselves under an elonga- tion, in times like these, to see that none shall go hungry. But there are transients and trans- ients. There are those who are hon. estly seeking employment and who will do any work that will supply them with money or even the food they ask for. And there is the other kind, not IOerhaps a imnajority in number, but in- creasing all the time, who believe the world owes them a living on de- mand, 'whether they are willing to work for it or not. The town had some experience with this latter tribe last year; it is hav- ing more of the same thds' winter, and in order to prevent the householders from being imposed upon, the town authorities have asked that all, tran- sients w'ho ask for meals at homes, be sent to the town hall where they will be fed. In return for this food all that is asked of the visitor is that he do a little wood cutting for the town, One would think the terms easy enough. Not so, however. Not only are the terms sometimes refused, but refus- ed with contempt and abuse is heap- ed upon the town, the authorities and all connected• with it. The matter would not be serious if it ended there. But it does not. Hav- ing refused the town hall terms, these Reds proceed to call at some home and .if refused there, or the meal does not suit them, the householder, very often a woman, is threatened, insult- ed, or both. An instance of that occurred this week. It is not the first one, but it should be the last. No consideration whatever should be shown to .that Mamtp of transient. Police actin should be taken and a Stiff ezntinpile Tilade of such an indi- 011.1dTf Nes hag a way of travel- ling far and fast among the knights of the road, and it would not take long for the Red element of the craft to learn that this town was no place for them. And now, before the real migra- tion of transients starts, is the time to set an example. Does Education Pay? An editorial written by Melvin Snider, Tuckersmith, and appearing in the Clinton Collegiate Institute Broadcaster. Does education pay? Is all this education we are receiving really worth while? Education means pre- paration for life's interests and'aotivi- ties by taking part in them. Through education we gain an interest in na- ture, in human achiev ents, whe- ther in the field of liter re, science and art, or in the in �udstrial c om- merc•iel and political life of our time. A lite assurance com.pay-n in the United States stated that out of one thousand pupils starting to public school, only twenty-three receive a thorough college education. This company values that education at $100,000. To obtain a good position it is im- perative nowadays for one to have more than an ordinary school train- ing. The gpod positions are not giv- en to the uneducated people, but to those who are prepared and capable ,of filling the position --satisfactorily. It is the educated young people that the business men of to -day are seek- ing. • The fact that educated men and women are 'being demanded more ev- ery day is a sure proof that educa- tion does pay. SEEING ENGLAND (Continued from page 1) across was for the soldiers to leap over the gorge! You could fairly bear the swish of the kilts and the rustle of claymores! 'My memories of Inverness are rather mixed. After much enquiry we finally stationed ourselves at the Bught 'Motel. I have slept on hard beds in my life, but never en one that .actually made my hones poke through my body. When I finally lo- cated a place that sold hair -pins, the shopkeeper politely informed me that he couldn't sell them after 8 o'clock. That finished me. Compensations there were, of course. I found the site of Macbeth's castle, naw desecrat- ed by a bowling green. Tomnahurich cemetery, I decided, was the ideal place to rest the weary bones. Then the misty' blueness of. the' Moray Firth. bearing the waters of the Ness River out to sea. There's a pungent tang about the Highland air that makes you glad to be alive. I sup- pose there is a breed of dour Seotch- man, ',but I've never met one that didn't have a twinkle in his eye or a smile somewhere about his ruddy cheeks and his burr-rr-rr makes my blood race a milee'a minute. I love it. I could turn a somersault every time ('hear it. We left Edinburgh Wednesday a- bout two o'clock: I wanted to stay another day, but it just couldn't be managed. Greater still was my dis- appointment when Alistair told me his mother had planet a dinner par- ty for us. That's waiting for me on The next trip 'over. However, I must tell you about Tuesday, or at least to much as I think would he good for you to hear. It was a positive field day, beginning at ten -thirty \vhen we arrived for coffee at Gib - son's and found Alistair assisted by t,tk.a redoubtable Scots, Alex. .Mae - Lend and Bruce Campbell, the latter equipped with a most preposterous umbrella, at least a yard and a half wide and every colour of the rain - how. "Lily," now boasting new "in- nards" was a new woman and 'the way she ron'ned up those hills all af'- ternoon and evening, was nothing short of a miracle. The frolic be - ran after hunch, in the pouring rain, first to visit Roslin Castle with its enor+nious fireplaces and the gem of a chapel; then on to "The Black Bar- eny" for tea. It had once been a huge manor house, abounding in the most beautiful walks and iardens. For two hours we continued to munch .every variety of cake and scone and dabble in infinite pots of jam and tea. If it were really true that you "laugh and grow fat," I couldn't get through any doorway. Alex.. was the chauffeur and off we went into the Lowland country, via the side road route that only the Scotchman can negotiate. I don't know how they ever remember so much about their country --.the Yarrow Valley, where Wordsworth met the shepherd; Et- trick Forest. St. Mary's Loch; the London Arms where Wordsworth apd Scott met, through Peebles and Gal- ashiels, famous for the manufacture of Tartans. By this time we felt like supper—it proved to be a very eventful meal. At 2.30 a.im. we were hack at Alistair's house eating cheese and biscuits, and trying to concoct a tale of woe to convince the dean of a Scotch University Residence that our absence was entirely necessary. Hoot man, what a day! 'Wednesday, after lunch, found us on our way through the Trossachs. It was such a lovely afternoon with blue sky and big puffing clouds and misty hills quite tinged with heather. When the hills around Stronachochar became too much for "Lily's" delicate constitution, two or three of us could always be persuaded to get out and try Shank's mare. At supper time we just parked the bus in a niche in the mountainside and got out on the shore of Loch Katrine. About sere - en o'cltek we were in Callander, to find a Highland festival in full swing with people of all ages and sizes do- ing the merry jig right on the main• street. We got some very good snaps. Not much later see arrived at Loch Earnhead Hotel—a very posh place. There was plenty of time to go "roam'in' in the gloamin'," through sheep -folds anrT over stiles until I' wondered how far up is up? I remember that hotel quite well be- cause I left my one and only hot water 'bottle in the bed, and I wish I had it now, for Inverness is the coldest* (#lace outside an Arctic igloo. LOOKING OVER THE DISTRICT NEWS STAFFA The Women's Institute will awe on Wednesday afternoon next. Th program will 'include : Report o London convention; current events Mrs. A.

BRUCEFIELD The regular meeting of the Bruce field Young People's Society wa held on Monday evening, Novembe 20th, with a fair attendance. Mr William 'Pepper was in the'chair an tl'p meeting was opened 'by a hymn followed by a prayer taken by th Rev. Mr. 'Bremner, followed by an other hymn. The topic, •'Povert and Wealth," was taken 'by Mr. Fre Boyce, who gave one of the fines topics heard at the meetings thi season. He went into full detail and gave examples from Paul' character. He also went on to sa, that money used in the proper wa was a good thing, and pointed out man's character, but money used i the other way for purposes othe than doing good was a curse. In al big society homes money reigns su preme. but as regards happiness an good will one will find very little. H gave several short stories, many o which pointed out true facts whit happen in everyday life. The on thing that he tried to make clea was that the love of money wa against the teachings of the Rible. . discussion followed, but owing to th topic being so well given nobod, could think of anything to discuss The speaker was• given good atten tion by all present and eyerybod, appreciated such a topic. The presi dent. Mr. 'E. McLeod,. took the chai for the business. It was decided tha the Y. P. L. would put on a play a their Share of the Christmas enter tainerent. Rev. Mr, Brenner, Mis. Eva Stackhouse and Mr. Ed. McLeo were chosen as a committee to selec a play and the characters to tak part in it. Rev. Mr. Bremner res a letter asking all the officers of th society to attend the Y. P. L. rall3 in Exeter on December 1st. As s many were doubtful of going. th matter was not settled, but, Bruce field will be well represented whey the time •comes. Some time ago tw members, Miss Eva Stackhouse an Mr. Fred Boyce were appointed a •captains for a memlbei•ship drive an at the meeting everybody pr'esen was asked to sign his or her nem!' en the membership roll•, The meet Mg closed by singing a hymn, after which all joined in benediction. Mr. Jesse Freeman and Mr, Janie McCully visited-»at-•tlee home of. Mr and Mrs. J. Addison over the wee end. EXETER On Tuesday last Dr. J. W. 'Brown ing, the oldest practicing physician in Ontario. and probably in Canada, celebrated his 90th birthday. He has practised in Exeter continually for 66 years. Dr. and sirs, J. H. Brown- ing entertained a large family party in honor of hie birthday. Mr. Ted Moyle who for some years has held an important position with the Exeter Lumber Company, left on Monday morning for Toronto where his mother will join him. They sail this week from Montreal for Aus- tralia, where they expect to reside in future. Before leaving the A Y. P. A. of Trivitt Meimorial Church, gave a farewell party for him. •A very serious accident occurred on Monday afternoon, when Edmund Ward, son of Mr. John Ward, was on a ladder removing the awning from in front of his father's office. Ow- ing to the icy condition of the side- walk the ladder slipped. precipitating the young man through the plate- glass window. It was found that the Pretty'soon we reached Stirling, which to me is the most romantic place, next to Edinburgh. The pan- orama from the sturdy ramparts of Stirling Castle is something to re- member forever. Away across to the horizon lies a lovely plain laced with the twisted strips of the Forth, back- ed by the misty peaks of Ben Lona - end, Ben Venue ancl Ben Ledi. To the right rises the Wallace Monu- ment, straight, grim and defiant to remind us of "Scots, wha hae w•i Wallace bled!" Further around the rampart we came to a little staircase leading to a small turret room with but one window, the lkouglaa windirw. to rnark the room where James murdered Doug- las. Do you rensem'ber these lines: "'My castle is my king's alone. From turret to foundation stone. But -never -else]] in friendly clasp The hand of such as •Marmion grasp.

Wedding bells, are ringing in the village. A very sad death occurred here on Saturday evening last. We here re- fer to that of Mrs. Harry Jacobi, of the village, who on Friday morning was discovered by a couple of. her neighbor ladies in the persons of Mrs, Alex. McMurtrie and Mrs. Roy McLaren, who noticing the lights in Mrs. Jacobi's windows late in the ,horning, wondered' if she was not well and' after knocking at the doors and getting no response, thought it hest to force an entrance, which they did from the back of the house, and were horrified to find Mrs. Jacobi quite unconscious, lying on the kit- chen floor. It would a ear pp _ that she had got up about the usual time to turn on her hydro lights and had suddenly been seized by a stroke, and remained in an unconscious state save fer a very few minutes at in- tervals and on Saturday evening passed very peacefully away. Mrs. J'aco'bi was in her 68th year, her death occurring on her birthday which made it sad. She had moved irito the village from the homestead farm a- bout a year ago, purchasing what had been known for years as the Samuel Steacy dwelling, and very nrvch improving and decorating it, both as to the exterior and interior. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and (Mrs. Joseph Harvey, residents of Hensall a number of years ago, after moving in from -their farm in Stanley Township, and is survived by her son, Harvey, and brother, Al- bert. of Kippen, and sisters, Mrs. Beatty and Miss Harvey, both of Eg- mondville, her husband having pre- deeeased her about eight years ago. Although living very quietly in her home during here life here ma e many friends who, with a host of friends and relatives -scattered through the district, will miss her very much. The funeral service, a private one, was held from her late home here on Tuesday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. A. Sinclair, pastor of the United Church with interment in Exeter cemetery, and although a private fune.ral a large number of relatives and inti- mate friends gathered at the home despite a heavy rain. The pallbear- ers were John McLean, John Robert- son, JohnShepherd, William Slavin, Fred Manns and James Sangster.

A very enjoyable evening was spent in a. so- cial hour, followed by a delicious lunch served by the hostess. Also on Tuesday evening at her parent's home, her girl friends from Hills - green gave her a miscellaneous shower and 'on Saturday evening there was also another shower for the bride -elect at her 'home here, when her cousins met, showering her with miscellaneous gifts.
