at Hemmingford | Would-be Robber Poses as Son of Well-known Resident \u2014Woman Claims Rough Usage\u2014Town- ship Offering $50 Reward For Information Leading to Arrest and Conviction (Gleaner Staff Correspondent) Hemmingford, Que.\u2014Tricking his way into the home of Mrs.Edward Cowan here, a mysterious, masked man demanded money under threat of death.When numerous threats failed to bring results the man, who is believed to reside somewhere in this district, fled, leaving no trace of his identity or of his possible whereabouts.Feeling is running high in this district as a result of the highhanded action of this would-be thief.No stone will be left untusned in efforts to track down the man.Provincial police at Montreal have been informed of the attempted robbery and it is thought they are working intensively on the case now.The citizens themselves are offering every co-operation in order that the culprit may be located.The Township of Hemmingford is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the man.In this week's issue of The Gleaner the following notice appears.\u201cThe Township of Hemmingford is offering a reward of $50 to any person who would give information leading to the arrest and conviction of party who tried to obtain money Gaiety Reigns At Annual Stag Party Big Turkey Goes to Rod Elder of Glenelm\u2014 Thirty Turkeys Are Given in Prizes Gaiety reigned supreme at the O'Connor Theatre last Thursday night as the grand stag party under the auspices of the Huntingdon Curling Club got under way.A wide variety of games and amusements were indulged in by a comparatively large crowd, despite the cold weather and the condition of the roads.Among the diversions were miniature horse racing, jingle board, rummy and bingo.A total of 30 turkeys were given out as prizes in the bingo games.\u2018The big 30 pound turkey given out in the draw went to Rod Elder of Glenelm.During the evening refreshments were served under the direction of Charles Robins.The Huntingdon Curling Club wishes to thank the ladies for the refreshments provided by them, New York Sees Display of Art From Quebec S.Mary Bouchard of St.Urbain is Among Those Who Contributed To the Display There is on display at the present time in the East River Art Gallery, New Yotk City, a group of French- Canadian primitives.These pictures are attracting many visitors and resulting in much favourable comment.Following is a review of the pictures by an eminent critic of a well-known New York daily newspaper: These productions, like most primitive paintings the world over, contain fearless and frank observations upon life.The colors are as bold as the boldest, at times, and at times the artists, probably without knowing it, have solved technical problems in painting that have baffled artists of much greater experience.They hesitate at nothing and generally, as we say, \u201cget away with it\u201d In this they really can instruct our city artists who already heve been so much instructed, for, due to bad teaching, they follow the accepted masters too implicitly and forget to look at life\u2014the greatest and the final teacher of all.Canadian primitives know nothing of masters\u2014they only know life.The artists of this exhibition live in the Province of Quebec near Murray Bay, where a series of exhibitions of arts and crafts organized by Mr.and Mrs.Patrick Morgan have been giving them encouragement during the last few years.Some biographical data in regard to the artists throw further light upon the movement \u2014 for the interest aroused in this work has in turn given it the aspect of a movement.For instance, Adela Harvey of Grand Fond is the wife of a game- warden, and she began to paint with chicken feathers for brushes and house paint for colors.Robert Cauchon, aged 23, is apprenticed to his father, who is a carriage maker and blacksmith in Petit Village.Philippe Maltais of La Malbaie is a gardener who began painting to pay for his winter wood.Alfred ., Deschenes, aged 23, ts a lumberjack ; @tand house painter, now engaged in bottling Pepsi-Cola.George Edou- ard Tremblay, aged 34, of Pointe au Pic, is a designer of rugs and fabrics.S.Mary Bouchard of St, Urbain was encouraged to paint by Marius Barbeau, and lives in the historic Moulin a Cesar: and Yvonne Bolduc of Baie St.Paul designed and made rugs before taking up painting, and has already won a prize at the annual exhibition in Quebec.These from Mrs.Cowan under menace of death.\u201d Mrs.Cowan, who lives alone and who is aged about 70, was accosted at her front door by a man with a Stating he was the son of Medas Perrault, a well-known and highly respected neighbour of Mrs.mask.Cowan, he demanded money.Thinking the youth was playing some foolish prank and offering no resistance to his plans, Mrs.Cowan admitted him into the house.Mrs.Cowan shortly realized that the youth was not the son of Medas Perrault but someone else.Once again he demanded money.\"I have no money for you, stated Mrs.Co- wan.Expressing doubt about the lack of money, the masked man again demanded cash in a threatening attitude.\u201cI tell you I have no money to give you,\u201d reiterated Mrs.Cowan.\u201cOh yes, you have,\u201d scowled the would-be robber, \u201cand I am going to get it.\u201d Mrs.Cowan continued to assure him she had no money.Angered by the delay on the part of Mrs.Cowan to produce the money, the masked man is said to have struck her across the face with his hand, causing her to fall backwards.When this failed to bring results he is said to have threatened her with death unless she \u2018came across with the money\u201d.Realizing his barrage of threats would bring no results the man finally backed away to the door and hurriedly disappeared from sight.No such high-handed action on the part of a would-be robber has time, if ever before, and considerable indignation is felt by the citizens.Every effort will be made to trace down the identity of masked man who will be severely dealt with.to press time but it is expected that something will be learned within the course of a few days.Mrs.W.Philps President of Lady Curlers

15th, 1937 | Some Silver Going The Rounds Here Is Counterfeit Keep your eyes open for counterfeit silver.It is making its rounds in this district.Among silver received in change at the Huntingdon Post Office by Sylvester Galipeau was what he thought looked like a \u201cphoney\u201d ten cent piece.The silver seemed washed off the surface of the coin and it did not ring true when flipped on a desk.He bit the coin with his teeth and it fell into two parts.A counterfeit twenty-five cent piece was received at the Customs office the other day.A merchant noticed some counterfeit silver recently.Watch for it in your change.During the Christmas season it is liable to be more prevalent.Early Morning Fire, Damage Two Thousand Covered by Insurance\u2014 Crackling Flames Awake The Misses McGinnis Fire which broke out about 3.45 o'clock Thursday momming at the home of the Misses McGinnis resulted in damage of more than $2,- 000.It is stated that the damage is covered by insurance.The fire, which started in the kitchen annex of the house, was believed to have been caused by overheated pipes or from the chimney.The entire annex, which included the kitchen and pantry on the ground floor and a bathroom on the upper floor, was destroyed by the fire.Most of the main house was gutted with water and damaged by smoke.Considerable re-plaster- ing will be necessary.When the bricks of the chimney fell, the stove in the kitchen was battered down under a pile of debris.No small amount of damage was done to clothes and to furniture in the house.Most of the furniture on the ground floor of the house was saved from damage by rushing it into the front part of the house which was comparatively free from water and fire.The crackling of fire and later the smell of smoke awoke the Misses Jane and Margarat McGinnis who were sleeping upstairs in the house.By the time they phoned the fire department the flames had gained considerable headway, flames belching forth from the annex into the main portion of the house.Miss Sherry was sleeping downstairs at the time.Had it not been for the fact that a brick wall separated the main house from the annex the fire would have done much more damage to the main house.It was fortunate the wind was blowing in the direction it was.Had it been otherwise, nearby properties would have been in danger of catching on fire.Water pressure was not up to standard for about twenty minutes after the alarm was turned on, it was stated.Because of the pressure, pipes in the vicinity of The Chateau broke and no hot water was available in the rooms of the hotel on Thursday morning.Members of the volunteer fire brigade express thanks to Mrs.Caza and Mrs.Savard for the coffee they provided the fire fighters.The men fought the fire for about three hours, getting it fully under control about seven o'clock in the morning.HIGH TAXES HARASS MOTION PICTURES IN QUEBEC In Quebec the motion picture industry is still harassed by higher taxes, which have been rising during the past five years, and higher admission prices have kept attendance from increasing at rates similar to those shown in other provinces.It is estimated by one authority that between 20% and 28% of gross income in Quebec is consumed by taxes and licenses.As a major problem in the matter of languages has existed since the advent of talking pictures, the result has been a depressing one for operators.Live Buffalo Arrive Here From Wainwright, Alberta, For Experimental Purposes T.L.Irving\u2019s Attempts For 20 Years to Get Live Buffalo Here at Last Succeeds\u2014 took place on his farm yesterday.Wainwright, Alberta.For 20 years Mr.Irving has been endeavouring to obtain from the Government such buffalo to raise in the Huntingdon district as an ago his It is believed that these

camera \u201cshots\u201d on the part of newspapers and individuals, shipment of buffalo was originally destined for the Old Country.Mr.Irving persuaded the Government to send them to his farm to experiment in bringing them up in this section of the country.Mr.Irving points out that wool of the highest grade can be obtained from the buffalo hide.Not only is the hide of the buffalo valuable but the meat of the animal also is quite expensive.Before coming here the buffalo were given a thorough Government inspection to see that they were free from any disease.Mr.Irving claims he has always had a keen desire to have buffalo brought down to this section of the country for experimental purposes.He believes it will be successful.Mr.Irving recalls the 90's when he was out in the west with his father who, he claims, was a friend of the famous Buffalo Bill About Two Thousand Dairy Cattle Are Exported From District Since Jan.1, 1937 1,500 Head go to United States \u2014Milk Strike in U.S.A.Affects Shipments\u2014Shipments Not so Large This Year\u2014Cold Weather Holds up Exports About 2,000 dairy cattle have been \"exported from the Huntingdon district to the United States and the United Kingdom from January 1 of this year to present date, according wo local records.Of this number about 1,500 cattle where shipped to the United States while the balance found a market overseas.The number of dairy cattle exported to the United States this year has not been as great as during the year 1936, the milk strike in the United States this year having a definite effect on the exporting of Canadian dairy cattle.The largest single day shipment from this district to the United States was a total of 100 head, which was sent by R.R.Ness and Sons.On Monday of this week two carloads of cattle left for the United States.One carload was destined for Granby, Mass.near Boston, while the other was for South Burlington.vermont.Many dairy cattle are ready for exporting in this district at the present time but the cold weather is holding up shipments.taking no chances fever.There has been for some time now a large demand for dairy cattle from this district on the part of the United States, according to local office of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, and the supply does not meet with the demand.There is every indication that a heavy demand will continue, it is stated.Shipments by truck rather than railway seem to be gaining in favour.Trucks with as many as 12 head of cattle have left here for the United States for points as far away as 300 miles.Shippers are with shipping Windsor Mill Closed Down On Friday Seventy Hands Thrown Out of Employment\u2014 Mill Re-organization Fully Expected\u2014 The closing down of the Windsor Silk Mills, Limited on Friday night is a serious blow to Huntingdon.The mill was giving employment to 70 hands.On Friday.Messrs.J.and I.Horowitz were in Hunting- don and conferred with Mayor Faubert, President D.J.O'Connor of the Board of Trade, Mr.F.H.Hunter, the Bondholders Trustee and several other business men of the Town.From all appearances eight silk mills in this Province have been having trade difficulties.Whether underselling one another or tariffs can be found at fault, We are not ready to say.At any rate the Windsor Mill has been closed down, and just when it will re-open is uncertain.Mr.Arthur Beswick was made custodian.On the many looms within the plant is to be found work in process.weeks to complete the work in process.Mr.Beswick was in Montreal on Monday and

frontier during the summer and fall were heard at Malone this week when Ulysses J.Catman, 26, of 24 Pritchard Ave.was committed to jail in default of $500 bail.Arrest of Catman followed the seizure of alleged smuggled Canadian cattle.He was arraigned before U.S, Commissioner R.R.Levy on a charge of assisting in bringing in seven head of Canadian cattle in (the vicinity of Chateaugay.It is claimed that an increased activity In smuggling of cattle over the line \"has been noted in recent months.Since the new agreement with Can- tada, under which a quota was placed on the importation of Canadian cattle, the tariff has been increased so that smuggling of cows has become profitable.Only so many cattle can-be imported at a certain rate and after this quota has been reached there is a duty of 2% cents a | pound on cattle weighing less than 700 pounds and three cents per pound on cattle above that weight.While there is a certain amount of smuggling of Canadian cattle, compared to the amount of

the United Kingdom last summer, will probably mark a new milestone in the story of our trade with Britain.Whatever may be the course of our industrial development in the future, Canada is still (taking off our hats respectfully to our forests and our mines) in the main an agricultural country.In that way our genius lies.We produce more agricultural products than we need domestically.We need markets and the most important agricultural market in the world is the United Kingdom.But how are we doing in that market?Dean Shaw gives us a booklet of 85 pages in answer to that question, with very sound advice to Canadian producers and to government agencies on how to improve our position in British markets.Shaw says to the producer; send only goods that are suitable to the British market and improve quality, packaging and labeling.To the producer and the government of Canada he says: we need wider and more effective publicity throughout the distributing agencies and among the British consumers.He wants a \u201cpublicity campaign directed to the British housewife\".The report dealing with the history, growth, and present situation of our sales of cattle, bacon, dalry products, fruits, etc., in the British market, is an extremely valuable document.Every farmer in Canada, particularly those directly interested in the export trade should read ft.The president of the C.P.R.has become more urgent in his advocacy of an operating amalgamation of the two great railway systems of Canada.Only in this way, with its resultant economies in the rail administration and operation.does he see a solution of the great transportation problem that faces the people of Canada.Amalgamation in the way he suggests would not mean the submergence of either system.The present ownership of each system would remain unimpaired.There is of course no question that there is a real railway problem.The large annual deficit of the Canadian National, which comes out of the pocket of the taxpayer is proof enough of that.The transportation problem is further complicated by competition from the The Week at Ottawa Need of Greater Canadian Market in the United Kingdom For Agricultural Products\u2014President of C.P.R.Urging Amalgamation of the Two Railways Systems in Canada By Spectator tracks on the highways.The at- attempt by the minister of transport last session to introduce legislation which would bring water and highway transport under some sort of regulation corresponding to the regulation under which the railways have been operating did not meet with success.Sir Edward Beatty thinks the oppesition was due to a misunderstanding of the object of the proposed legislation, and he hopes some legislation of the sort will be re-introduced.He further believes that amalgamation of the railways is essential and inevitable.It is for the future to disclose what action if any the government will take in regard to this increasingly urgent demand.There can be little doubt that Beatty has gained a fairly large following In the business community.On the other hand there is no doubt that the suggestion of amalgamation would raise considerable opposition in the West.Whether or not the talk of \u201cmonopoly\u201d is a bogey, as suggested by Beatty, who says the government would have its adequate checks and balances through the board of rallway commission, the cry of \u201cmonopoly\u201d would have a great deal of weight in the West.The whole transportation problem is a perennial headache for the administration.One of the problems which has harried the government for some years has finally vanished.That is the holdings of wheat accumulated by a former wheat board in its effort to support a demoralized market.About two years ago the government held about 200 million bushels.With rising prices and a more liberal selling policy the new board which came into office at that time rapidly sold its stocks, The last 7 million bushels was recently disposed of.The government's stocks are not of course to be confused with the country's available [surplus of wheat.The amount jof this, on account of the small crop of the past season Is not large.1 It is being sold steadily, and from | present indications at the end of \u2018this crop year on August 1st next, there will be only a normal small carryover of about 30 or 35 million bushels in the country's bins.Decks will be so to speak stripped for action for the marketing of next | season's crops, which will naturally | bring with them their own problems.the! Slugs to \u201cGyp\" Pay Telephones Here Are Very Scarce Huntingdon citizens\u2019 record rings fairly true with the Bell Telephone Company! Unlike a great many other centres, there have been very.very few slugs of any kind placed in the pay telephones in Hun- tingdon in place of nickles.In many municipalities there are found in the pay telephones slugs of many kinds in place of nickles such as foreign coins, amusement slugs of various kinds and in fact, anything at all which the person might think would do the work of a nickle.Miss J.Myers, in her rounds of collection from the 18 pay telephones in Huntingdon, states that during the past three or four months there has not been a single \u201cphoney\u201d coin.Previous | to that two gramophone slugs were found in one pay telephone.But before this finding there was scarcely any attempt at \u201cgyping\u201d on the part of the publie.Dundee Votes To Go Wet By 35 Majority Prohibition By-law Which Was in Force Since 1908 is Repealed Thursday, Dec.9th, the Municipal electors of the Township of Dundee went to the poll to cast their vote for or against the new By-Law No.219, repealing the Prohibition By- Law No.155, which has been in force in the Municipality since 1908.The vote was held in a very orderly | fashion, no demonstrations of any I kind marking the proceedings.After the ballots were counted it was found the new By-Law No.219 was approved by n majority of 35.The vote stood at 75 for and 40 against.The new By-Law gives the Quebec Liquor Commission

close by the hostess.Sunday evening lantern slides were shown by the pastor, Rev.J.H.Lynn.The pictures, some of which were colored, dealt with the work of Dr.Darby at Bella Bella, on the Pacific Coast, about 200 miles north of Vancouver.The scenes were very interesting, showing the habits, manner of living and occupation of the West Coast Indians, among whom Dr.Darby has spent about 25 years.Other scenes showed the Indians at work on the salmon fishing grounds from which they derive a living.Dr.Darby had many hairbreadth escapes in the course of his career as missionary doctor.He now runs a well equipped modern hospital which ministers to the needs of the population for many miles around.This is the second in a series of pictures which have been shown in the church this

evening.The claims were delivered by letter and personal appearance.A I few of them were settled during the afternoon session but the majority were laid over, possibly until after the new year, when due consideration will have been given them.All members of the county council were present except Warden Wilfred Lacasse and councillors W.C.Collings and I.Waddell who got within seven miles of Huntingdon when snow-blocked roads prevented further progress.A letter was received from O.F.Cummings stating that due to his men having been held up for about three and three quarter days at an approximate cost of $300 per day there was the sum of $1,100 due him from the county council.The letter was filed pending further investigation of the claim.Maxime Raymond, KC, M.P, writing in the interests of Joseph A.Montpetit, sent in another claim with reference to the Laguerre Drainage project.The Secretary of the county council was authorized to instruct Mr.Raymond that the report of the

shopper.The Christmas atmosphere radiates from the store windows of local merchants where a wide range of beautiful and desirable goods for Christmas gifts are on display.Anticipating a volume of business this year to exceed that of last year the local merchants have bought accordingly.A walk along Chateauguay street provides ample evidence that the tractive arrangements of beautiful gifts

have noticed that Ghristmas shopping has not got under way in a heavy volume as early this year as last, due to the weather.It is confidently expect- F4 however, that this delay will result in an

First Deputy Health Minister HE Province of Quebec in general will look with favour on the appointment of Dr.Jean Grégoire, former provincial hygiene service official, as Deputy Minister of Health.Dr.Grégoire, who takes over office on December 16, will be the province's first Deputy Health Minister.Previously the Health Ministry had been included in the office of the Provincial Secretary.The new Deputy Minister is a native of St.Ambroise de Kildare, Joliette County town.He was educated at Joliette Seminary and the University of Montreal where he took his degree in medicine in 1924.Later the doctor, who now is 41 was awarded two scholarships from the Rockefeller Foundation and he studied one year at John Hopkins\u2019 University, Baltimore, where he took a certificate in public hygiene in 1929.At John Hopkins\u2019 in 1935 he won a degree of doctor of public hygiene.Dr.Grégoire has been medical officer for Lake St.John sanitary unit, director of a training &chool at Beauceville for doctors and nurses, inspector of Quebec sanitary units, and an officer of the provincial administration of hygiene, and public assistance.Northern Unemployment ORTHERN Ontario newspapers are protesting against reports in Toronto newspapers.stating there is plenty of work for all in Northem Ontario, and at good wages.Recently the representative of a Toronto news- paper interviewed a Midland, Ontario man who had just come down from visiting the north.Effervescent in his praise of labor conditions in the north, the Midland man was quoted as saying 500 men were needed for road construction work at Temagami and 500 men for the mines at Kirkland Lake.Painfully disillusioned job seekers in the north have recently returned to their homes in Southern Ontario with none too optimistic stories of chances for a job up there.Residents of Northern Ontario have been for some time noted for their enthusiasm, optimism and unbounded confidence in the future of the north.From the first gong they have been incomparable boosters.This optimism has radiated over the entire country.People who have visited the north have been \u201cfilled\u201d with enthusiasm for the great opportunities in the North.Northern Ontario and Quebec have believed in the slogan, \u201cIt Pays to Advertise.\u201d Their advertising has resulted in speedy population of the north.This is but one case, however, when there has been too much advertising.The results of advertising have been too great to be taken care of by the north.Just as readily as the north can absorb more men it will do so, for it is a country that refuses to stand still.It is not like a certain small town merchant who, when he was asked if he would like to run an advertisement in the local paper replied, \u201cNo siree, I put an advertisement in last summer and it made me so darmed busy in the store I never found any time to get away fishing.Be Careful With Guns ROCEEDING along the third concession of Elgin township recently the driver of a truck was startled when a bullet struck the glass on the cabin of the truck.The driver of the truck was not struck by the bullet but this might easily have been the case.It is thought the bullet was a stray one from the gun of an irresponsible hunter.When it is considered that this stray bullet might have struck the driver rather than where it, did one is reminded that such irresponsible hunters let loose over the countryside could be more careful.Frequently during the fall of the year news items come from here and there telling of hunters, often inexperienced ones from the city, shooting at a cow and mistaking it for something else, maybe a deer.How a hunter could be so short-sighted or careless as that is a source of wonderment and deep irritation to many people, particularly the farmer who owns the cow.In the vast number of cases where accidents occur through careless handling of guns the accidents can be avoided through the application of a little common sense and thought for the safety of others.if not for themselves.Bulldogs and Prestige writer in The Bracebridge Gazette relates a conversation he had in California with a United States friend who has a great admiration for Britain.Incidentally the writer claims that Britain is highly respected and admired in California.\u201cThey may wave the stars and stripes.and declare the U.S.A.to be the greatest nation on earth,\u201d the writer says, \u201cbut I notice they all look to Britain for guidance.Everything that Britain or Canada does is neld up as a pattern for the U.S.A.to copy after, and everything that Italy or Germany or Russia does is held up as a horrible example to be avoided at all costs.\u201d The writer in question mentions one thing about his friend, \u201cHenry\u201d he calls him, that should give Canadians and other British people cause for much thought.This is the paragraph:\u2014\"\u201cHenry reminds me of the time they sent an expedition into Abyssinia to bring out one lone Englishman, not worth two bits, simply to show the world that a Briton's rights must be respected no matter where he goes.They ask me if British prestige will not be lessened by the repeated rebuffs Britain has allowed Mussolini to get away with, to which I answer to saying.\u2018Does a bulldog lose any prestige by ignoring the yaps of a pomeranian or a pekinese?\" The unfortunate attitude which Britain has been forced to assume in some recent years because of unpreparedness has undoubtedly lessened the prestige of the Empire in several quarters.Some indication of this fact may be gathered from the questions often asked these days by Ohinese people In this country who have been friendly to Britain for many years.Some of them who have been British subjects themselves for a number of years and have carried a deep admiration and respect in their hearts, for the Empire may be par- donned for being puzzled because the mighty Britain stands aside and allows thousands of innocent Chinese men, women and children to be wantonly slaughtered.without even a declaration of war to give an aspect of legality to the wholesale murder.When British soldiers are killed on duty and nothing seems to be done about it, there is surely excuse for further Chinese puzzling.There is also serious grounds for the fear that the loss of British prestige will have evil influence on the peoples of India in the days to come.It is asking much of these peoples to expect them to understand the fine-spun theories of the pacifistical internationalists.Another place where the loss of prestige is seriously felt is in the hearts of loyal Britishers themselves.All the pacifist vapourings in the world form little comfort for the thought that a great Empire supposed to be dedicated to world progress and pumanity stood idly by while scraps of paper were scoffed at and thousands upon thousands of peaceful peoples in Ethiopia and China were ravished.The simile of the bulldog needs an addition to make it a plausible excuse.It must be added that the bulldog was ill and incapable of combat.It has not been pomeranians or pekingese that have snapped and yapped at the bulldog \u2014but big dogs that challenged and defied.while the bulldog kept to its own house door and saw its own friends, the lesser breeds, worried and killed by brutal marauders.Had the bulldog been well enough to face the war hounds, there is reason to believe that they would have fled.But the bulldog has been ill\u2014ill with the infection of a false pacifism, fevered with disarmament, dis- tempered with the scurvy of wrong reasoning.The bulldog is recovering now.The tonic of preparedness is doing its work.This is all that keeps the bulldog from being attacked in turn.With renewed health the bulldog will regain the old prestige and respect.The bulldog after all has to do little fighting.Its prestige allows it to escape many a battle Any man who has owned a bulldog knows it is far from a quarrelsome animal.Ready for battle, it seeks no fights.But bulldogs must keep their health\u2014and their teeth\u2014or lose prestige and life itself, THE HUNTIN GDON GLEANER Chronicled News Bits Specially Written For The Huntingdon Gleaner TWINS NOT SAME AGE On a recent Tuesday, a baby boy was born to Mrs.Linley, wife of a brickyard worker at Eastringdon, England.The following Friday afternoon, a girl baby was born to her.Medical authorities declare it is very unusual for twins to be born this far apart, but three days is not a record by any means, Last January twins were born near Polkton, N.C, two weeks apart.Dr.J.M.Postlethwaite, of Whalley, Lancashire, England, reported a case in 1913 in which the interval between the birth of twins was five weeks.GANDER GUARDS SHEEP Four years ago, G.P.Brown, Mid- dletown, Ohio, sold his geese for Christmas.Next morning, he discovered he had missed ene, an old gander which, for lack of better company had strayed with a flock of sheep on the farm.The gander, since named \u201cJohn,\u201d has not only kept with the sheep ever since, but has become their self-appointed guardian.Brown has never had a shepherd dog which did his work better.The sheep have learned to follow \u201cJohn\u201d and like a dog, he stands on guard whenever the flock is feeding out of doors and woe to any stray dog or other animal that means harm to his charges.His loud honking from anywhere on the farms tells the family the sheep are in danger.He will attack any disturber with beak and wings if his loud honking does not have the desired effect.CHILDREN SHOCK HIM Several days after Joseph Manco, Omaha, Neb, was married, he discovered his bride had two children by her former marriage he knew nothing about.Manco went into court and demanded an annulment of the marriage on these grounds.After the judge heard his plea he informed Manco there was nothing he could do about it under the law, and the bridegroom should have looked into these matters before he beware.JUNKMAN WAITING On the outskirts of Denver, Ira Jonas, riding to work in his car, did not see an approaching train as he neared a grade crossing.Locomotive beat Jonas to the crossing but he could not stop his car in time and crashed into the speeding train, which demolished his car.He crawled out of the wreckage with only a few bruises.A witness of the accident said he was a junkman and wanted to know if Jonas would place a price on his wrecked car.A minute of dickering and Jonas accepted $8.50.which he pocketed.climbed onto a nearby street car and rode to work.MAIL BY PUMP Folks in Rossville, Iowa, a town of 100 population, believe in having things as convenient as possible.There is a general store in the town, with the town pump located beside it.So, to make things more handy still, the twenty-five rural delivery mail boxes of the towns families are all placed in a row beside the store, making it possible for householders to get their groceries, drinking water and mail all in one trip.HE STRETCHES PEOPLE In New York, Clarence E.Willard, 61, has for an occupation, the \u201cstretching\u201d of men who need added height to help them pass civil service and police examinations to obtain employment.Willard\u2019s ability to stretch his own height seven inches has given him the name of \u201cIndia rubber man.\u201d He is 5 feet, 10\u2019: inches high.normally, but can stretch this to 6 feet 5!s inches at will and can maintain this height for hours even while walking, swimming.He declares his ability to stretch has been one of the prime factors in maintaining his good health.\u201cAnimals stretch for the same reason,\u201d he says.Are we in MOTHERS FIVE SETS TWINS A 39-year-old woman\u2014mother of five sets of twins\u2014who keeps her 11 children on the money which her unemployed husband receives each week, has been congratulated by Queen Mary on her \u201ctrouble and self denial\u201d in bringing up such a big family.Mother of the children\u2014neighbors call her \u201cMrs.Twin\"-\u2014is Mrs.Pled- ger, of Manor Park, Eng.whose husband has not had a job for two years.Since her marriage twenty years ago she has had sixteen children, but five, including one twin, are dead.A photograph of the youngest twins, who are six months old, was sent to Queen Mary by a friend, and Mrs.Pledger sent a letter of good wishes.She has received a reply, signed by Lady Cynthia Colville, who adds a postecript saying, \u201cBeing myself a twin, I was naturally interested in your letter.\u201d Referring to the picture of the twins, the letter states: \u201cThey are certainly splendid looking children and reflect the greatest credit on i your care\u2014five sets of twins must mean a big responsibility\u2014and Her Majesty congratulates you on the trouble and self-denial which must have gone to the upbringing of a family of 11 children.\u201d ELOPING NUN WEDS After obtaining special permission of the Roman Catholic church, a young nun, Sister Emanuele, has been married at Belgrade to an electrical engineer, Adamitch Balet.The wedding was a sequel to the nun's elopement from the hospital where she was serving as a nurse.Some years ago, she had nursed Balet, then a ship\u2019s engineer, when he was ill.They fell in love, but abandoned hopes of marriage.Recently Balet was appointed engineer in charge of the hospital electricity plant.He met Sister Emanuele again\u2014and they eloped.The Catholic Church authorities agreed to for a new health fad?their marriage, but civil authorities refused to marry a

Karashissar, in Anatolia, and flocks of storks darkened the sky over Istanbul as they sped to help their companions, in battle, These reinforcements proved successful, and, helped by the local population, whose Moslem belief is the stork represents the symbol of material solicitude, the storks have now finally routed the eagles.Both \u201carmies\u201d sustained heavy losses and the city's refuse carts were constantly employed in clearing the streets of eagles and stork corpses during the fighting.The first outburst of enmity between the storks and eagles took place in the early summer of 1934, when six eagles attacked a stork's nest in the village of Orkhangazi, in Anatolia.and ate the young.A little later eagles tried to raid a neighboring nest, but the parents of the young storks that had already been eaten, were joined by 200 other storks\u2014all thirsting for revenge.2, À pa a ) BACKACHE As well as rheumatism and lumbago develops from uric acid left in the blood by

QUEBEC HIGHWAYS AND IMMIGRATION TO BE STUDIED BY BOARD OF TRADE A committee to study the situation in respect to Quebec highways has been appointed by the Montreal Junior Board of Trade under the chairmanship of J.Thomas, which will investigate the subject from every angle and submit a report by the end of the board's year in June next.The secretary of the committee will be J.M.Mackenzie.In studying the Quebec highway system, the committee will consider the engineering problems, safety and traffic control, lighting, Government plans and administration, finance and taxation and the importance of the highway system from the points of view of the tourist trade as well as domestically.It will make recommendations to the Jun- for Board.The immigration committee will deal with its subject in four parts.Under part one it will study the selection question and the education of immigrants.Part of its deliberations will comprise studies of the natural increase in population, population movements and absorption.A study will also be made in outline of Canada\u2019s key industries, and the final part of the report will be a study of foreign trade.MOTOR CAR SALEM UP 259, IN

the parade but the merchants themselves will probably derive extra financial benefit from the plan.A town the size of Huntingdon with such a splendid farming area extending far about it might easily support just such a Christmas parade here as is being done in Malone.There are many towns and villages in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario with populations smaller than Hun- tingdon who are each year taking a successful parade with real benefit for all concerned.In most cases it is mostly a matter of some organization launching the project.From there its popularity continues to grow until it becomes firmly established as a yearly affair of no small enjoyment.The Hutingdon Board of Trade might well give every consideration to the idea as one which would be of definite benefit to the town and district.COST OF STRIKES IN Us.FIVE BILLION YEARLY Strikes cost the United States around five billlon dollars, or between $160 and 8175 per family, in 1937 \u201cLhe worst and most costly period

when he fell on the ice on the Chateauguay River.Mallory was playing hockey with other young boys when one of them accidentally tripped the lad who struck his head on the ice when falling.When the boy reached home, the parents fearing a concussion.summoned Dr.H.R.Clouston who disclosed that the boy had been badly bruised.Two stitches, however, were necessitated to close a cut on the left side of the forehead.Mallory is recovering steadily.With each succeeding day the amount of Christmas mail leaving the Huntingdon Post Office increases.During the evenings the majority of it is mailed.It is expected that the volume of mail this year will surpass that of last year.The Huntingdon Woman's Institute is making an appeal for clothing.footwear and reading material.Clothing can be remodelled to

turned on.No one was to blame.At the filter plant it is understood water pressure will not be turned on until telephoned to do so.If water pressure were turned on as soon as the siren is sounded, and no hydrant opened, the pressure on the water mains and kitchen boilers would be excessive and perhaps cause much destruction and inconvenience.In place of criticism of water pressure being cast about, it is a bit of volunteer fire brigade organization that is most essential.In regards to fire brigade equipment, a chemical tank would serve a very useful purpose and perhaps save much damage that is done at many fires by water.An ample supply of chemicals to extinguish fires, if applied in the carly stages, might prevent some fires from becoming serious losses to the property owner.Curling Rink

just now.They are asking her the question that they used to ask me: \u201cWhy don't you get married and settle down?\u201d As far as 1 am concerned, they have come to the conclusion that I shall never be married at all.I agree with them.Obviously I never shail.There is a good reason for this.Six good reasons, to be honest.The first reason was 5 feet 11 inches high, dark-haired and dark- eyed, with wide shoulders and a small waist.He was agile on his feet.All around me I saw my contemporaries becoming engaged to the same sort of young men.They did not appear to be bored.As soon as I knew 1 was

DAY OF THE MONTH HIS JINX Discussing the possibility of another world war, a local World War veteran today went into reminiscent mood.He recalled that it was on the first day of September he enlisted, the first day of September he married and on a first day of September he was wounded in action overseas, One can not enlist, be married and shot on the same day of the month without always fearing this particular day.However, the first day of September is a long way off yet, so the local resident can breathe easy until next fall, at least.Current Conversation A very nice old lady had a few words to say to her grand-daugh- ter.\u201cMy dear,\u201d said she, \u201cI wish you would do something for me.I wish you would promise me never to use two words.One is swell and the other is lousy.Would you promise me that?\u201d \u201cWhy sure, Granny,\u201d said the girl.\u201cWhat are the words?\"\u2014Cal- gary Albertan.said I was sure they would not match for long.I had begun to be tired of baked beans and futuristic art.The fifth reason is quickly dispatched.For many months people had been telling me that I should marry somebody older than myself.Understanding, they said, came from men over 40; besides, they added crudely, there is generally more money.There was more money when I met the fifth reason; more than I had ever thought of possessing.I saw that he would take great care of his health, that his habits, after a life of bachelorhood, would never change.I was afraid that I would lose my temper with him and become ruder and younger and wilder as the years went on.So I said \u201cNo.\u201d The sixth reason was what is called the love of my life.Now, it is obviously an ideal situation to marry the love of one's life and I tertainment.I said \u201cNo.\u201d Perhaps as a counter-irritant, I company of the third reason.The third reason earned the adjective.\u201cworthy.\u201d He played golf, tennis ; and rugby.Racked with muscular pains from the unaccustomed exercise of a five- mile walk, I heard the third reason proposing to me.I said \u201cNo\u201d and could not think of a polite excuse; the true one being that I was bor- | ed again.It was a relief after so much | earnest physical endeavor to meet Angelo.Angelo was the fourth: reason.When I met him he was at | a party, wearing an orange pullover and gray flannel trousers.He said: \u201cI should like to paint you,\u201d and invited me to his studio.The studio fulfilled my expectations by being very untidy.He proposed just before midnight, saying that our souls had matched from the moment when we met.I 1 Novelties MALONE, N.Y.hoped I would.Unfortunately, he did not ask me.So here I am.The relatives have ceased to inquire of my future plans.They know I have none.I have, as it were, exhausted

Huan nese i Godmanchester Notes The exceptionally low tax rate paid by the citizens of the Township of Godmanchester is a source of curiosity to people living in more highly taxed municipalities.The present total valuation of the township for the purposes of taxation is $1,386,062.At the present rate of three and one-half mills on the dollar, this amount is expected to bring into the treasury $4,851.21.In contrast to this figure, the cost of running the affairs of the township is in the neighbourhood of $5500.The difference is made up {rom a surplus savings account which God- manchester has to its credit.At the time when Mr.James E.Barrett took office as Secretary-Treasurer of the township, the arrears in taxes amounted to $10,000.Of this some $8,000 was collected the first year, putting Godmanchester in an extremely strong financial position.\u2018This surplus was put into a savings account to be used when needed.The recent business depression raised costs of government and at the same time made it harder for people to pay their taxes.Consequently, while the rate was kept low, the difference was made up from the savings fund.Thus Godmanchester is able.even in difficult times, to keep the rate low and still balance the budget if the citizens cooperate by paying their assessments promptly and in full.Tax receipts this year have been very encouraging, according to Mr.Barrett.Collections up to December 1.totalled $2,42890 as compared with $2.074.86 for the same period last year.BOOTLEGGING If further evidence were needed that government control does not prevent bootlegging and illicit stills, it is to be found in the Annual Report of Sir James McBrien, Chief Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, for the year ending March 31, 1937.recently presented to the Minister of Justice.\u201cWe have under way, at the time of writing,\u201d the report states, \u201ca Pro- vince-wide conspiracy to break the excise laws, involving approximately 45 accused.The cases are centered in Montreal, Three Rivers and Quebec.\u201d The report goes on to recite the clean-up of five big illicit stills in the Montreal district.A more recent issue of the Gazette contains the account of the seizure of more than three thousand gallons of illicit alcohol, the largest ever effected in this city.Bootlegging is apparently a profitable calling.Aubrey The

Know That: Claudette Colbert wears a dress in the picture version of \u201cTovarich\u201d which weighs 14 pounds and cost $2600.?Persistently in the news, also, is a friend of long ago, Rene Caisse of Bracebridge.The work Miss Caisse is doing in the curing of cancer was described in this paper recently.Many years ago Rene Caisse gave the neighbors in Bracebridge a great scare.She had last been seen on the wharf and disappeared from view thereafter.But all the time she was on the boat with me.I had been visiting with her and she decided to return the call without any further arrangement than stepping on the boat.I was, of course, delighted.It was the first time we had met but I knew her sisters who had conducted a \u201cGrand Millinery Opening\u201d by Misses Caisse, at the Monteith House every Spring and Fall.When the boat docked at Ros- seau four or five hours later, my brother Arthur appeared to be greatly relieved when he saw Rene was with me.He hurried us to the house and dashed for the telegraph key.He was the operator.I have no doubt that young Rene was just bursting with curiosity to see the Monteith House, about which Albina was always talking.It is just the same urge to find out and do something about it that has brought her success in the treatment of cancer.In the same manner, whatever little artistic sense I may have developed I truly believe I owe to the Caisse sisters.Their millinery exhibitions in our parlour simply fascinated me.Thirty years ago hats were hats; not inverted flower pots.I simply haunted the place and no doubt pestered the girls to death.Anyway, a couple of weeks after- wards, a well advertised \u201cGrand For cozy contentment during your leisure hours a house coat that's cut just right will always be a treasured possession.You can be just as feminine or as tailored as you please in choosing the style and color.But, of course, you'll want the material to be snuggly warm for the long Winter evenings ahead\u2014probably soft flannel, daintily quilted satin or heavy taffeta.Millinery Opening for Dolls\u201d, brought the young matrons for miles around to visit my display.A lot of people don't see any reason for weeping about the 82,128,470 yards of imported cotton goods, as the revenue of the country was increased by the amount of duty paid.It would cost too much, probably, to make the stuff in Canada anyway.It makes a lot of us pretty mad to see flannelette blankets, for instance, selling around fifty cents each in Malone and something inferior on this side costs twice as much.And about 100% difference in cost of overalls, shirts, smoeks, etc.required for working men.Raw cotton comes in duty free and power is supposed to be cheaper here.Until our manufacturers can make things better and cheaper than any others they have no right to kick about people importing what they want.: Dahlia\u2019s a\" Grave and Gay Christmas is the happiest time of the year and consequently the sad- dest\u2014to those who mourn.If only in memory we hear a cheery voice, and see.in Mrs.Heman's words, \u201cthe face that once like spring-time smiled\u201d our happiness in Yuletide's past serves to gloom our present.The first Christmas message of peace and goodwill is still a challenge to those responsible for, or indifferent to, the miseries of the war-torn areas of the world, a challenge as well to our individual pet schemes.It would, indeed, be inexplicable if the nations were at peace when their private citizens are selfish, greedy, envious, and dishonourable.Which has spurred mankind to the greater achievements?\u2014 memory or hope, experience or imagination, the Cross\u2014the signpost or the Crown\u2014the goal?One would like to give human nature the credit of thinking that gratitude is a more potent motive to action than expectation, but is it?It is galling to find people thankful only for future favors, but \u2019tis a common failing.Imperial Ties With the chance of scanning newspapers from a town in B.C.and a city in Australia came the thought of their kinship in race and ideology, both British.The Canadian province with Rocky Mountains for vertebrae and her face fanned by the Pacific breeze, while she is the part of our country furthest in position from England.is the nearest in outlook as she is the latest to be settled.The similarity of climate favors the Old Country flair for horticulture and floriculture.The rose-gardens are often replicas of English gardens.British Columbia's boundaries like Australia\u2019s have served to maintain British ideals, while the older provinces have to a greater degree assimilated American modes of thought.Even British currency has been retained in Australia and New Zealand and these colonies keep in close touch with the Motherland\u2019s literary and dramatic interests.The way in which the descendants of convicts transported from London slums to the Antipodes have become prominent and esteemed citizens gives an interesting slant to the ever-present comparison of heredity and environment.Free from the temptations by which their ancestors were beset, and given chances which they never had, such men achieved

for the souls of men and women.On another occasion referring to her Sabbath School work, she declared that if she could accomplish nothing else, she aimed to train the young people to be able to stand before an audience and read a few sentences without becoming worked up into a pitiable state of nervous panic with palsied limbs and shaking paper.Another wise woman it was who, having heard how somebody had left the church in a huff, said something like the following: \u201cNo one will ever make me leave my church, not even the minister.It's my church, just as much as the minister's and I won't leave it even for him.\u201d It's queer, isn't it, how we can go to the same store, creamery, or show, ride in the same bus or train, send our children to the same school, our horses to the same smithy, our mail in the same bag, but refuse to attend the same church or sing in the same choir?It can't be that the church is worse than all these other agencies combined, can it?Or do we thus \u201cunbeknownst\u201d to ourselves, at one and the same time pay homage to the church's office and admit the paltriness of our own spite?There's one comforting thought, namely, that both parties to a tiff can ring in on the same church service broadcast.A Night for Every Oay We read how God guided the Is- raelites by a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night, but.has He not always

tests of good manners that distinguish the well-bred in public.In the street think a little of others and try not to inconvenience any one in any way.Never walk directly in front of an oncoming person but move a little out of the way.Don\u2019t carry an umbrella or stick carelessly.Avoid getting into the way of people who are obviously hurrying to get somewhere.A man does not sandwich himself between two women when walking with them in the street, He takes the curb side of the pavement whether he is walking wlth one woman or with several.In walking with one woman a man does not link his arm in hers, grasp her by the elbow or offer her his arm, unless it is to guide her through a crowded street or protect her from traffic.He does not, if he Is a gentleman, chew gum or smoke.Nor does he talk in a loud and boisterous manner.Never call a person's name in public if it can be avoided.In conversing, do not make personal remarks or expose your private affairs to passers-by.Remember that the well-bred person never attracts attention to himself.When greeting people in public, bear in mind that a quiet, unobstru- sive manner shows good breeding.You can be cordial without making yourself conspicuous.Greet your intimate friends with a cheerful \u201cHello!\u201d but do not shout it so others turn around to see what has happened.Greet acquaintances with a courteous nod of recognition or a friendly \u201chow do you do?\u201d It is discourteous to stop on a busy thoroughfare to chat with someone you have met.If you meet an old friend with whom you would like to have a little talk, walk on with him slowly instead of standing and getting into other people's way.Perhaps a stranger accosts you in the street and asks for information.He may be looking for a certain street or number, or he may want to be directed to a certain store or office.If you cannot be of assistance to him, show by your manner that you are sorry, and be as courteous as you know how.Direct him, if possible, to someone who can give him the information he wants.If you can direct him, do not stop and attract attention by your gestures, but explain as simply and clearly as possible what he wants to know.Walk on a bit with him and give your directions in the same tone of voloe you would use for ordinary conversation.In time of accident, be courteous enough to keep out of the way unless you can be of service.The greatest test of good manners is to be able to keep calm and poised leven under the most distracting let circumstances.| ing are appropriate for either raisin bran or plum puddings.Brown

Suchan, Farmer Jowan Su- chan's wife, believes in direct action, Yugoslav marriage laws being what they are.When she caught her husband in the arms of another woman, she administered a 15-minute beating to the latter, and threw her out of the window.Then she turned her attention to Jowan.She bound his hands and feet, and carried him to the well, where she tied him to the well-wheel, leaving him there the whole night, while she slept peacefully.In the morning she beat him-\u2014half frozen though he was mercilessiy, and made him swear never to see the other woman again.Then she prepared

But I don't happen to be in love with a beautiful woman who has borne me a fine son.\u201d \u201cYou've been in love?\u201d \u201cAnd out again.But didn't you and I decide that that was not love; that it was hunger, like the hunger of the stomach?Appetite is not love.\u201d They were walking along the scented lane under a sober autumn sky; there was nothing extraordinary in the situation.But Gloria found herself trembling, confused; she held herself steady with an effort and did not dare to speak.\u201cIf you decide that you made a mistake,\u201d Karl said, returning to the opening of the conversation, \u201cyou will go on?\u201d \u201cI can't see that it was a mistake.\u201d Gloria said, troubled.\u201cNo, you could not see that.But a French woman, you know, or a German woman,\u201d Karl said, \u201cor any of the Nordic women\u2014Dutch, Norwegian, Danish\u2014would have gone \u201cIt very probably will not last ol \u201cOn the chance it would all come out right?\u201d \u201cIt would be no chance to them.No choice.It would be simply what they would do.That would be marriage.\u201d \u201cAnd this isn't marriage?\u201d \u201cIt would be to them.It is to you.It is to any American woman.Her marriage is one event in many, to her.Another may be more important.But to other women\u2014women of the old world\u2014marriage is a change.Marriage is like being born.\u201d \u201cSo that such a woman,\u201d Gloria said, in the light tone of casual conversation, \u201cwould prefer scrimping and cooking and washing dishes to helping out?\u201d \u201cOh, very much.Because that way she would have her man.And the man is the thing for her.The companionship, the love, the intimacy of their relationship, that's what she wants.Not the paid bills and the bigger houses and the\u2014 well, whatever you wish to call it,\u201d Karl ended; \u201cfrocks, motorcars, servants, whatever American women buy with their money.\u201d \u201cBut it's ridiculous to assume,\u201d Gloria said, conscious of disliking him and speaking a little quickly to avoid showing that she was hurt, \u201cthat European women love their husbands more than we do.Yet, unless she loved him\u2014oh, tremen- dously\u2014a woman wouldn't get any happiness out of sacrificing her life to his!\u201d \u201cOh, but that's the very point.She wouldn't call it sacrificing.She'd say that to go out and work, to give her right to her man and her children, was the sacrifice.She'd rather live in one room with him, and cook for him and make that room a home, than leave him and earn money somewhere that couldn't buy her anything she wanted half so much!\u201d \u201cWell, if circumstances arise in which the wife has to help out,\u201d Gloria offered somewhat stiffly, \u201cit seems to me it is only sensible for her to do it.If she's smart she makes money and keeps her home going too.\u201d \u201cBut that she can't always manage,\u201d Karl said, with just the faintest hint of significance in his tone.Gloria flushed a little; she was not going to argue with him.She tried to think of just the right thing to say to end the conversation, could not seem to find it.and was left with the uncomfortable feeling that he had the last word.She was especially gay with Kitty and Tony Baggley when she and Karl joined them later in the garden.They sat lazily in the lawn chairs;

Kitty, as always, sweet and preoccupied and quiet; but Gloria was in great form.She looked her loveliest in a remodeled trousseau dress whose taffeta ruffles stood about her in a quaint wide skirt that gave almost an effect of hoops, and whose deep lace collar fell cape-fashion on her shoulders.Her round, firm throat was bare, the ruffled soft, dark gold of her thick hair was uncovered, her small gold sandals had flat heels, like a baby\u2019s slippers, and she could step as lightly and surely as a child across the grass.It pleased her to pay special attention to Tony tonight; she was like an admiring little sister, in the low basket chair beside him, watching him, listening, laughing at whatever he said.Walking back to the sanatorium at ten o'clock with Karl, she suddenly realized that she had been feeling slightly antagonistic to him this evening; she had still felt, deep in her spirit, the smart of his implied criticism of her way of solving her life's problems.Gloria, in her own soul, had reviewed the steps that had led her to this point, had reminded herself that she had been forced by common sense and by circumstances to take, not the easiest, but the only way.She had never deliberately selected a certain course, abandoned an alternative one.She had never said to herself, \u201cI'd rather support myself and Jimmy than struggle along on what Peter makes.\u201d She had never been set or unpleasant about it; it had just happened so, and so, and so; and Peter and Mummy had agreed that one step had forced another, and another a third, and that Gloria always had been doing what was right and sensible.But Karl, tonight had talked as if any woman, doing that, deliberately chose between a domestic and a business career; put the office before the home, the income before the hearthside love of husband and babies.But his tone now somewhat softened her.He had apparently forgotten their argument on the way; he was speaking with a sort of affectionate amusement.\u201cJimmy has such a dynamo for mischief,\u201d he said.\u201cI, myself, was a severe\u2014a most serious child.No one played with me.No one ever laughed in my grandfather's house.We children were like little grownups, it seems to me now.We swam in the lake, we rode our ponies, we walked out with our tutor, my cousins and I.But there was none of that ingenious mischief! I should like to have know what you were like when you were a little girl\u201d \u201cI was a happy little girl\u201d she said thoughtfully.\u201cMy father was the sort of man who keeps the feeling of a child.He always understood children.To the end of his life he liked to pick up a baby and make love to it.\u201d Her voice had softened, as it always did when she spoke of her father, \u201cTo such a man, having a child of his own must seem a miracle,\u201d Karl said, and she knew he was thinking of himself.He loved children, too, They fascinated him.He would watch Jimmy and the little Baggley girls with passionate, serious attention, ask questions about them.The casual ease with which Kitty and Gloria interpreted their ridiculous questions and solved their tremendous problems was a mystery to him.(Continued on page 12) Valleyfield Council At a regular meeting of the Val- leyfield Council held on Wednesday evening, Ald.Touchette asked the City Clerk to read over the contract agreed upon between the City of Salaberry of Valleyfield and contractor Loiselle for the transport of Masson bridge.This contract stipulates that the transport will be for $1800.To this sum, however, $100 must be added, forming a total of $1900.In his declaration Mr.Touchette precised that it was the proper thing to do in having the public know what the actual cost of Masson bridge was so as to refrain rumors brought about by certain citizens who seem to ignore these contracts.At this same meeting, the Council acknowledged receipt of letters from Delpha Sauvé, M.L.A.and Me Theodore Lespérance, secretary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Valleyfield concerning the smoke nuisance along the road at Beau- harnois, coming from the St.Lawrence Alloys.Mr.Turnbull, of the St.Lawrence Alloys, in a letter, stated that he regretted this complaint made against this company and stated that it would be preferable if the Council made a retraction in regards to the statements issued concerning the accidents which occurred near that industry.On the other hand the company will make the necessary changes next spring.Mayor Billette asked that a vote of congratulation be adopted for Gordon Whitehead who saved young DeRepentigny from drowning during summer holidays.Steps will be taken to have the Humane Society present Gordon Whitehead with a medal.Ald.Miron asked that a vote of congratulation be sent station CKAC on the occasion of their 15th anniversary as a mark of gratitude for concerts given the population of this province.Mr.James Shinkin asked the city for a grant for the upkeep of an kidd dit iii 4 Work Clothes with good warm clothes.Trousers.sold at low prices.;

Bonsal was, for a time, one of his pets, and Bennett despatched him to various hot-spots\u2014Austria, the Balkans, Turkey, Germany.France and England.Here he met some of the outstanding personalities of the day; here, too, he found adventure of a unique character.These reminiscences enable us to understand more intimately the tangled background of European and world affairs which ultimately led to the debacle of 1914.Frankly, as we read, the thought often comes to us whether Europe ever was civilized, for the barbarities and moral obtuseness of the alleged statesmen who laid the foundations for the collapse of Europe's leadership are obvious.It is difficult to determine which of the experiences of Mr.Bonsal is the more absorbing.He describes Bulls Eyes ° BY PLAIN-SPOKEN PETE Escape to the Present Johannes Steel does not deal with the heyday of a vanished world but with the bitter world of present- day Europe from which he would escape to new duties in the New World.It is a tragic autobiography.written in defiance, not in vain regret.He tells us of the hideous conditions of his boyhood when, during the war.food was scarce and even the well-to-do families went hungry and he throws much light on the speculators who made money when the mark was depreciated until Schacht stepped in an monetary dictator.Then he attended the University in Berlin, and as a student associated with Socialists and Communists.Conditions in Berlin in the middle of the last decade are trenchantly described.Finally.he entered the government service and was sent to various continents seeking to outwit Germany's competitors and reestablish Germany's markets.His THE WAY TO GET A | = \\ CUSTOMER TO SPEND | are \u201cnot particularly edifying.to SOME MONEY WITH ! those who hold to the supersanctity of our economic system and even YOU 15 TO 7 Johannes Steel grew critical of the whole business.Then Hitler came SPEN D SOME into power.his brother\u2014a quiet student of ancient languages\u2014was T ME WITH murdered, and in disgust our auth- Hi M or escaped to America.He throws some fresh light on certain events LI in Poland, Japan and Ethiopia, and his book is bound to create a sen- / sation by reason of its forthrightness.Those who are tempted to be indulgent towards Germany and thus corroborate the present regime in its exploitation of its \u2018nuisance- value\u201d should read this book and ponder its deeper implications for the world, Perhaps, Johannes Steel is unduly bitter at times, but the Germany into which he was born and still admires is no more.So he has shaken its dust from off his feet, and his heart has been expatriated! Germany, he believes, is done for \u2014\u201cThe Third Reich, loaded to the sinking point with Neuraths, is hastening, all sails spread, towards a new and more disastrous Versailles\u201d.Our reputation for reliability and service guarantees the customers satisfaction.The money you spend for electrical appliances will return to you in hours of leisure.Let us show you how little it costs to put electricity to work in your home.POND\u2019S 121-127 E.Main St.MALONE, N.Y.One feels, too.that Johannes Steel believes that Europe is done for.It is becoming a Hell's kitchen where all the finer values of life are being suffocated.Perhaps so! And if so, then the New World may perforce become the residuary legatee of European civilization, but shall we use that inheritance any better?We wonder.There is a tragic lack of vision in political and financial circles, and men fail to see that in the last analysis the only real wealth is that of human personality, made responsible in freedom, and released for a corporate life of dignity and nobility.FILM Developing and Printing The Gleaner is fully equipped for the developing and printing of amateur photography.Enlargements may be made to whatever size you desire.Amateur photographers who have us do their developing and printing will receive an enlargement free of charge of any pictures that we may amicably arrange to be reproduced in the Gleaner.Such pictures must of course have a current news value.All work done at the regular scale of prices will be carefully and promptly attended to.The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc.MAIL US A TRIAL ORDER Church were greatly given to the use of symbols.Harassed and persecuted almost beyond human endurance they contrived this ingenious method of confessing their faith in One who was dearer to them than life itself.Many of their symbols were inscribed on the walls of the Catacombs, and there they have remained, an abiding witness to a faith that could not die.The Dove, the Anchor, the Good Shepherd with a lamb on His shoulder\u2014each symbolised an article of the Chris- tion creed.There was one symbol, however, that adorned \u201cthose walls subterranean\u201d more frequently than the others, and it was the symbol of the Fish.Among all their inserip- tions this one was given the place of honour, for it was significant of a great faith, The Greek term for a fish is ICHTHUS, and by skillful summer, but a grand autumn.use of each of the five letters of that term the Christians dark day built up their confession of faith.Each letter was made the initial of a word of deep and holy significance: Iesous Christos Theou | pockets then assuredly your next Ulos Soter; and this, being inter- (welve months is going to be a hard preted.is \u2018Jesus Christ, Son of God, |gne.You will lose money.Britain.fortune during the coming year.This is but one of which have grown Christrnas time.up \u2018weather.say, summer.Clerk.For instance.if on Christ- Saviour!\" A better creed, or more!

the quest of the Magi, the visit of the Greeks, and the penitence of the dying thief.The three scenes suggest \u2018widely-differing types of men .the dreamer from the East, the open-eyed man of the West, and the unthinking man of the street!\u201d Each type is conscious of the appeal and significance of Jesus for human life, and may be regarded as representing all mankind.Dreamer.reasoner, prodigal\u2014Jesus attracts them to Himself: He did it when He lived on the earth, and He has not ceased to do it.\u2018From the best bliss that earth imparts, They turn unfilled to Him again!\u2019 One Highway To Success Which is Guaranteed to Bring Its Own Reward\u2014 Work and More Work We, not infrequently, wonder how it is that some fellows just seem to make good even though they are not credited with having any brains.Others, who meet up with all the standard qualifications for success gapingly stand by while these apparent mis-fits turn the trick.How do they do it?It would be impossible to tell how they all do it.If one were apprised of all the tums in the road of success, then the ease with which that road could be travelled would the way of the ordinary.thereby destroying its attractiveness.But, it appears, that many, a good many, of these men who have no supporters or followers attain their goal through the medium of hard work.Hard work is the main highway to success, It takes us a longer way on our journey than any other factor, and the fine thing about it is that this faculty can be acquired.Men cultivate it, not only the ability to work hard but also to work There are passages of rare beauty effectively.in the book, Here is the opening paragraph of the second chapter: \u201cThe sacred fires on the altars of Greece had gone out.Even the ashes were cold.But the heart of Greece still burned with desire: the ancient quest still drew her on.\u201d Skill in the use of words is evident here, so deftly does the writer illumine the back-ground of the story.By clearing the road of some of the nonessentials of life through the practice of self-denial and by stimulating a little enthusiasm for service we may naturally be led to persistent, thoughtful effort which will be rewarded with success \u2014success that makes others as well as ourselves better off and happier.But the fine prose of Dr.Maclean make it, and Miss Patience Reid, accompanist, \u2018ence.Miss Ellicott, in replying to | 12 Months\u201d Agony | and friends of the pupils which had unnerved that he was afraid to !them brought a successful and en- \u201cFor 12 months, I suffered pain' The exchange of pulpits to sti- use.1 could not walk up or down- unavoidable circumstances but was started taking Kruschen Salts, and \"The latter preached on \u201cThe Con- if more people than there are ber- man of the School Board, congra- ries on.tulated the teachers, Miss Ellicott.| for the splendid program, the honor HE WAS AFRAID TO of the pupils and school in receiv ling the Flag, This was concurred in this vote of thanks, said this honor was only made possible by the help | Suffering from acute rheumatism {been freely given and she wished to in both his knee joints\u2014treated in thank them for their loyal support.cross a street \u2014 how readily every Joyable evening's entertainment to rheumatic sufferer will sympathise |# Close.and misery with achute rheumatism , mulate missionary work of the Unit- in both my knees.Twice, I was ed Church ot Canada did not take stairs.I was afraid lo cross the held on a later Sunday when Rev.street, for 1 had lost all confidence A: M.Rose exchanged pulpits with ;
