HaAPp New Year
Before another issue of.The Ex-
positor reaches you, the New Year
will be here. May it be a happy and
a prosperous one for you.
Not that the old year, now rapid-
ly drawing to a close, was such a
bad one. There have been worse
and harder ones, even in recent times.
The old year brought to us, in this
county, abundant crops, even if we
lacked the high prices to go with
them. It brought to the villages and
towns a little more business, too, ev-
en if we didn't get paid cash for it
all.
It brought us a nice spring, a
warm summer, a beautiful fall, and
a, rnild winter. It brought us so
many really good things, and so few
really bad ones, we rather hate to
see it go.
No one can speak with assurance
about the New Year. It is too new
yet. But if the New Year is as kind
as the old year and will add to that
kindness by bringing better prices
to the farm, more business to the
communities, more work for the un-
employed, and more cash to us all,
when the time comes, we will part
with it with the same deep regret
• that we now part with the old year.
May it be a Happy, a Healthy and
a Prosperous New Year to you!

Huron's Two K. C.'s
Announcement was made ori Sat-
urday by Hon. A. W. Roebuck, At-
torney -General, of the appointment
of L. E. Dancey, of Goderich, and J.
G. Stanbury, (of \Exeter, as King's
Counsel.
We believe these are Huron's only
K. C.'s and congratulations are ex-
tended on their well-deserved hon-
ors.
Both Mr. Dancey and Mr. Stan -
bury have been practising law in
this county for several decades, and
both have become widely known
through their practise as weII as by
the large part they have played in
public life, and the new appointments
have 'brought honor to the towns
where they have been active and use-
ful citizens for so many years.

The New Hpdro Contracts
The new power contracts recently
entered into with the Quebec power
companies by the Hydro Electric
Commission, prove conclusively that
Premier Hepburn was right when, in
the interests of Ontario power users
he cancelled the former contracts
signed with these companies bythe
former ,Ferguson and Henry Gov-
ernments.
The new contracts will not only
effect a tremendous saving in the
Commission's annual bill for power,
but will relieve Hydro from the obli-
gation of accepting some 730,000
horsepower during the next thirty
or forty years, for which it has no
present and little prospective use.
The former contract price for pow-
er of fifteen dollars per horsepower,
has been reduced to $12.50 by the
terms of the new contracts. Instead
of Hydro being committed to an an-
unal charge of nearly $11,000,000,
their liabilities will now be only
$2,200,000, per year.
And, in place of assuming a total
cost of $300,000,000 over the term of
years, they will now have to face a
total charge of'some $22,000,000, and
thaft will be for power for which
;hhOie is a reasonable belief that they
,cati,resefl to Hydro users.

tracts, !Premier e'phurn has acted
not only prompt y, but courageous-
ly. It was no lig t undertaking, and
the Premier's a tion has brought
down upon his head the dislike and
i11 will of some very powerful men
and strong financial companies.
But it was a case of wiping out the
former contracts, or wiping out Hy-
dro, and the Premier chose the form-
er, and in choosing, he chose well.

The Municipal Elections
Next Monday will be nomination
day, but at date of writing there
seems to be little interest taken in
municipal ,affairs in either town or
country.
That may be a good sign. On the
other hand, it may not. If the old
councils and officials have been re-
sponsible for a business -like admin-
istration, their constituents would do
well to retain them in office, if their
services are available.
If the old councils and officials/
have been lax in administration or
lacking in ability, or even every day
common sense, the sooner their con-
stituents remove them, the better it
will be for that municipality.
At best, municipal office is a thank-
less job. So thankless, indeed, that
year by year it is becoming more in-
creasingly difficult to induce the best
brains and executive ability to run
for or accept municipal ce.
That is an unfortunate tate of af-
fairs, because there never was a
time when strong hands, keen brains
and common sense were more needed
to head our municipal affairs than
they are now, and will be for the
next few ,rears.
We hope the people in town and
country will recognize that fact and
'act accordingly. Now is the appoint-
ed time. There is no use or sense in
finding fault afterwards. ';Not a
particle.
The personel of a council is just
what the ratepayers choose to make
it. The choice lies in their hands and
in no one else's. There are three
kinds of councils -good, bad and in-
different -but you do not get the
first by chance.
To secure a good council requires
some thought on the part of the rate-
payers. Think about it. Select the
best men available and when you
have chosen them, stay with them.
Support them and encourage them
and let them know they can count on
your support and encouragement.

Christmas -Weather
A short time ago we asked for a
little more Christmaslike weather.
We got it.
And as far as this immediate dis-
trict is concerned, it is just right.
Quite a little snow, and clear, sharp
weather.
But other localities were not quite
so fortunate, particularly about Lon-
don and west of the London Road in
this county.
On Friday London experienced a
blizzard, or something akin to it.
Snow fell in great quantities; the
wind piled it up, and the thermome-
ter dropped below zero. Quite a bit
below.
West of the London road, car
traffic on Friday„ and Saturday was
practically at a standstill. And ev-
en on the highway the plows had to
go through before the cars could run.
That in itself, is unusual. Rarely
is there much snow west of the Lon-
don road ,-and along the lake shore.
Usually it is to the district east of
the highway, that winter comes first
and stays longest.
This year that district has had lit-
tle snow. Concession and county
roads, as well as the highways, have
been as available for car traffic as in
the fall.
' However, in all probability our
turn will come and even if it doesn't,
we won't complain. Not a bit. In
the meantime we are enjoying per-
fect Christmas weather.

"Harping •clack to days spent in

Staffa, we realize that there were
two outstanding factors in connec-

there.
There was the part which was de-

teachers inside the building; there
was also another' part got outside
of it from mingling with the boys

Oct. 13 -The Story of Jeremiah
-Jeremiah 9 6-10; 26:8-10,
-.Jeremiah 1:7.
Jeremiah had a definite call from
Gad to be a 'prophet. Lamenting bit-
terly over the sins of the people and
the nation, he called upon there to
repent, for if they continued in the
life of 'treachery, deceit and vileness
God would punish them and destroy
Jerusalem. When he continued to
prophesy thus, the people, refusing to
look upon hint as the Mouthpiece of
God, had him arrainged before the
princes. He there again uttered his
prophecy, saying the Lord had sent
him for that purpose and he could do
no 'other than utter his message even
though they should put him to death.
Oct. 20 -The Message of Jeremiah.
-Jeremiah 7:1-11, 21-23.
-Jeremiah 7:23.
Jeremiah was given a specific com-
mand to go and stand in the gate of
the House of the Lord and deliver a
message to the people gathered in
the outer court. It was a call for
them to amend their ways. They were
to repent in sincerity of heart and
hand; they were to cease unjust deal-
ings between man and his neighbor,
they were to cease oppression, they
were to forsake the worship of idols
and to turn with full endeavor after
new obedience to the one true God
and he would remove all danger of
captivity from them.

of the revelry, writing appeared son
the wall. When interpreted by Dan-
iel, he !learned bha't, he bad been
weighed and found wanting and was
to be deposed from the 'throne and
his kingdom to be divided. His king-
ly glory was not used' for the glory
of God.

to Judea. He ordered the peoples
amongst whom they had lived for the
70 years of their captivity to help
them get away and to give them need-
ful things for the journey and for
the setting up of their own homes and
the rebuilding of the House of God in
Jerusalem. The days of weeping for
their own land were over and joy-

them how they were dwelling in cell-
ed houses while the House of God
lay waste.

to Judaea. Being in high favor with
the King, he received much needful
assistance from both King and peo-
ple; but .he did not ask for an armed
escort to see them, safely through
the enemies' countries. Instead, he
told the King the God whom they
served would guide and protect them.
When well away on their journey
Ezra ,proclaimed a fast and public
prayer was offered and they reached
their journey's end in 'peace and
safety.
Dec. 8 -Nehemiah Rebuilding the

the city he first !mlade a survey and
then unfolded his plan and mission
to the people, who said, "Let us rise
and build." By watchfulness and
prayer, the enemies were frustrated
it their plans of opposition and the
work went steadily forward. He
armed the workmen and kept strict

built.

5, 6, 8-12.
-Psalm 119:11.

and began to weep and mourn. They
were reminded it was a day holy to
God and were told to cease their
weeping and rejoice. The altar had
once again been !erected in their midst
and thy were called upon to pray and
praise the God of their fathers. "And
all the people rejoiced because they
understood the words 'that were de-
clared unto them."

Cold Bath
•
A team of horses belonging to Mr-
Ednwmd J. Wa'.per, of the Bronson
Line, north of Dashwood and Cou'n-
oilier of Hay Townsihip, created some
excitement when they were left tied
up in the shed of the Lutheran
church, at Dashwood. Becoming rest-
less they are thought to have bitten
through the rope , with which they
were tied. The shed doors were clos-
ed and for a time ,they ran arroumd
(the shed until someone opened the
door to drive a car into the building
and immlediately the horses dashed'
through the opening and madly rac-
ed !home. IMr. Walper, while shop-
ping in a local store, was informed of
the runaway but the horses were al-
ready too far gone for capture. The
Iiorbes escaped serious injury but the
wagon was badly damaged. A se-
quel to the accident happened a day
later when seven year old Lloyd
Fischer, son of C'hris'tian Fischer,
was leaning backwards against the
steel railing of a bridge which had
been struck by the runaway wagon
but was not noticeably daanaged. The'
railing • collapsed and he fell bubo it -
bout three feet of icy water but he
was able to crawl out. At present
he is suffering from a severe cold
resulting from his sold ,dip. -=Zurich
