Wednesday, Dec. 7, 1938. Tim FLESHERTON ADVANCE NO SENSE OF HUMOR Apparently there is not u wide spread sense of humor in existence. When Huron County Council was in •ession recently one of the members mentioned in a facetious way that It would be Well to ban the wearing of anythiti); which looked like a Hitler moustache, and he also mentioned that o;ie of the county officials might have the job of enforcing such a law. The whole thinn was a joke and nothing else. But Huron's joke became the ser- ious affair of other people. Toronto papers had reporters askinf; people what they thought about the idea; the news got on the wire and went to papers the world over. And now letters are starting to arrive in God- crich telling the county councillors what a brave thing they did. The inayor ot one United States city wrote four closely line<l pages, and New York Jewish papers made it appear it is actually an offence to wear in Huron County anything that looks like a Hitler moustache. So the Council's joke has grown a flock of serious aftermath. Any person who stopped for a mo- ment to think the thing out would know an in^iividual living in Huron County or elsewhere in this land could grow any kind uf moustache, Hitler kind or 'Walrus, close cropped or cow horn style^ and no person could convince him to change it. So the next time Huron County coun- cillors indulge in a moment of levity it might be well for them to explain ttat nothing serious is intended. A seniMj of humor is evidently not widely distributed.â€" Walkerton Her- ald-Times. Beer Warehouse At Hanover Special Shoes For Victim Remember Alfred Scadding, who with Dr. D. G. Robertson, noted child surgeon, was rescued from the Moose River gold mine in Nova Scotia two years ago after frantic digging? His feet were deadened by the ex- posure and the doctors had to am- putate the toes on both feet. Since then he has suffered much from cold, due to poor circulation, so a special pair of fine felt shoes have been made for him at the Elmii-a felt fac- tory in the hope that comfort may at last be found for his crippled feet. READ THE "SMALL ADVTS" Hanover is to have a beer ware- house and probably a liquor store as well as a branch of the Walker- ton store. Henning's block in the west end of the town has been chos- en by authorities as the situ of the new building. Hanover has always been a "wet town'' to the extent that local option the Ontario Temperance Act was never in force there, and when abandoned land beer privileges re- stored to hotels, authorities were granted to three local hotels. According to latest rumors, "the store is to be opened shortly with a prominent Hanover merchant in charge. Just why this store should be located in Hanover when there is a licjuor store in Walkerton just six miles away is hard to understand. Judging by the shutout McGill handed Western, the Montreal col- legians must have used the padlock law on the boys from Ontario. Apparently there is nothing in the new trade agreement to make it eas- ier for Canadian football teams to import expert forward passers from across the line.

T T ♦ Inspector PeDtland On Township Areab A copy of the following letter by Public School Inspector Geo. E. Pent- land, has been sent to the secretary of each rural school section in South Grey. Inspector Pentland said: During the term just closing I have tried hard to meet the trustees and as many of the ratepayers as possible, in order to explain the Township Area idea, but in some cases I have not been able to do so, hence this letter is sent for your information. Please have it I'ead at your annual meeting on the 28th. The Township Area may consist of two or more sections joined into one, with five trustees for the area, but an entire Township, or groups of sec- tion in two or more townships is not too large. In England, for in- stance, the average rural area includ- es a population of about 150,000 and in Scotland and Ireland about 160,000 and in those countries the scheme is said to be so popular that under no condition would the people revert to the old individual section scheme. In case each of the six townships of South Grey formed an area, to include all the sections, the grants would increase by $8,000, which is $100 for every section going into a union, and as the total legislative grant for 1938 was $11,760, it is easily seen that the increase would be nearly 70 per cent. The increase to each Township would be as follows: Artemesia $1500, Bentinck $1300, Egremont $1500, Glenelg $900, Normanby $1500, Pro- ton $1300, a total of $8000.00. This comes every year. Furthermore if buses could be put on the roads to bring boys and girls, who have passed the entrance, to the most convenient High School to be taught, the Depart- ment would pay 60 per cent of the costs and this extra $8,000 would more than pay the 40 per cent of the cost for which the section would be responsible. You will note,, however. that to earn the extra $100 it i& not neces.sary to put a bus on the roads. The only condition for getting this money is to join into a Township area. The bus idea could come later when the newly-appointed trustees, five for each area, assume their duties. It is hoped that the annual meet- ings on the 28th will be largely at- tended and that each section will express an opinion on the matter so that if favorable, the Townhsip Coun- cils may, if they see fit, pass the necessary bylaw. With best wishes for a Happy New Year, I am, Very tnily, â€"GEO. E. PENTLAND, I.P.S. In Practice Over 60 Years Dr. David Jamieson of Durham â€" and who in South Grey does not know the genial medico who represented this vicinity for so many years in the Legislature â€" has been in prac- tice in our sister town for more than sixty years, and he estimates that during these years he brought about oght thousand children into the world. The subject arose in the publicity i,'iven a Russell phy.'sician who offici- ated at seven thousand births during his fifty years of practice. Dr. Jam- ieson says he kept a record up to twenty-five years ago and at that time he had over five thousand births "on the slate." He started in prac- tice with a horse and saddle, anr when he could afford it, invested in a buggy and cutter and in recent years he has made his calls in a motor car. He figures that he has owned some sixty cars in his day. Clover Seed Market Red Clover Seed Threshing of red clover seted is progressing satisfactorily in south- western Ontario. The commercial prwiuction of double cut red clover i» estimated at 4,250,000 pounds in 1937. The demand is fair and since little export is expected, buying is rather selective and cautious. Prices being offered or paid growers, basis No. 1 grade, are ranging between 7 and 12 cents per pound. In Eastern Ontario the total commercial production of double cut red clover is estimated at 1,081,000 pounds as compared with 202,000 pounds last year. .\lsike Clover Seed The total commercial production of clover seed in south-western Ontario Ls estimated at 6,000,000 pounds as compared with 200,000 pounds last year. The demand is fair only. Due to low prices offered by dealers, farmers are loathe to sell. On the other hand, seed merchants having to face a keen competition on the Eng- lish market, are very cautious and selective in their buying. About 2,- 000,000 pounds have already been ab- sorbed by the trade. Prices being offered or paid growers for No. 1 grade are ranging from 5 to 15 cents a pound. Threshing is progressing satisfactorily in Eastern, Northern and Central Ontario and the commer- cial production is estimated at 625,000 pounds as compared with 45,000 pounds last year. Lord Twkeedsmuir says the use of brains is vital to a democracy. The dictators seem to be getting along, however, without any. Little Betty had been served with a chicken wing and after working with it for some time she said: "Ah gee. mother, do you mind if, I have something else besides the hinges?" There are, a rapid survey shows, t\vo kinds of business men. One is selling out and the other is outselling. After a lapse of some years, Sim- coe has re-formed its high school ca- det corps and one himdred and fifty students have enrolled. The old fashioned fellow who never thought anything of walking eigh- teen or twenty miles in an afternoon has a grandson who never thought of it either.
