vital job to do and we'll have to
step on it in the next 12 months."
Iii a,uggesting an industrial cam-
misaionter for the county, Jr 0.
Crich oadd he fejt it would be a
full-time position for such an of-
ficial and that it would probably
be two years before the county
would feel any result for the ef-
fort.
Dr. E. A. McMaster, Mayor of
Seaforth, suggested a, part-time
commissioner. He believed small
industries should be sought for
the county, remarking that "big
industries can wreck a place."
It was his opinion that each
community would. have the job of
selling itself once the county has
been sold to an industry.
The general feeling among rural
municipal officials and one which
was voiced especially by Orval
Taylor, reeve of East WaVvan,osh
Township, and Alvin McBride,
reeve of,, Stanley Town:ship, was,
that industry, regardless where it
was located in the county, would
'benefit Huron as a,who1e ands in
turn, the surrounding rural area.
To Inform Centres
Each town, village and township
in the county will be informed re-
garding the aims of the board and
how it hopes to benefit the dis-
trict. )Financial assistance will tie
requested in order to meet the
expenses involved.
March 17 was sot as the date
for the next meeting, to be held
in Clinton. It is planned to have
a ' representative of the Depart-
ment of Planning and Develop-
ment as guest speaker.
Mr. Crich said that by .bringin-

these were 'often obtainable. (ib!,
in the particular locality of their
operation and a traveller coming
from afar would find it difficult td
plan his journey upon any reliable
information.
What Bradshaw did ;as to com-
bine alr the various timetables in-
to a single and; authoritative vol-
ume. In the first Railway Compan-
ion of 1839,-, there was not a great
deal of material to include—there
were no more than 82 railway sta-
tions in the -whole conntry—buthe
outstripped his rivals by always re-
membering that passengers were
human, indirfiluals who needed
much more than statistical tables
to calm their apprenhensions as
they set out upon the great venture
into the unknown of a railtay
journey.'
It was in his nature to want peo-
ple to travel with ease and comfort,
and to enjoy moving about and
meeting their 'fellows.: So he acid -
ed maps, the distances between ev-
ery station on the lines, advice
about labelling luggage, informa-
tion about dealing with porters—
they atere strictly forbidden to ac-
cept tips in those days --and the
cost of taking one's own horse and
carriage on specialvans so that
one could complete the journey at
the other end. -

This,, smiling friend,. a service sta-

His plant is small. the (building just

But he has what it takes to bring

Quite often Folks. will park across

And mar -Vel at the knack he has to
meet;
Young folks and old from every

good wife.
Always a line-up, a good-natured
crowd,
They like to hear him, sometimes
smile out loud.;
He operates the station all alone—
One day, a bigger and, better he'll

Good luck and bless you, Service

The Wolf and the Crane
A WOLF Once got a bone stuck in his throat. So he went to a Crane
and begged her to put her long bill down his throat and pull it out.
"I'll make it worth your while," he added. The Crane did as
she was asked, and got the bone out quite easily. The Wolf thanked
her warmly, and was just turning away, when she clied, "What
about tat fee of mine?" "Well, what about it?" snapped the •
Wolf, baring his teeth as he spoke; "you can go about boasting
that you once put your head intoc. Wolf's mouth and didn't get it
bitten off. What more do you want?"
MORAL: Many a man who takes long chances has nothing to
show for it afterwards. Isn't it wiser to put part of your
salary, every pay day, into? a savings account with
The Canadian Bank of Commerce? Then you will really
be able to laugh at the wolf of adversity.
