Editor EDITORIAL NOTES The fine weather was due for a dose of snow. It couldn't be called a Janua'-y thaw, there- was no snow to thaw. It is a caution how short the crime aKet is in this province, with the earning power of so many at such a low ebb. The cause must be at tribute*) to the alertness of the police and their success in bringing the cul- prits to trial. The >best record for seeding: in Grey or Bruce counties comes from Hcpworth, when Alex. F. Cunning- ham sowed five acres of rye on Fri- day, the ground being easily work- able. Many people state that we will pay later on, but it is doubtful a* plenty of rain fell to replace the Last week an event of interna- tional character took place at Kitch- ener, when former German and Can- adian soldiers intermingled at a ban- quet tendered by the former. Prior to the banquet a wreath had been placed on the memorial at Kitchener in memory of those from that dis- trict who did not come back. Fourteen yean ago these former soldiers were rtrngrlng ferociously at each other's throats, determined to exterminate om* another. But. as one comrade said "Brave men bear no spite," they knew what the suffering in war meant and now they were peacefully work- ing side by side, forgetting the for- mer animosities in a bond of peace. How many of us have been able to forgrt *o easily? If we are to have a lasting- peace we will have to for- prt war and like these former enemies settle down with peaceful thoughts towards each other. The old com- mandment "Love thy neighbor as thyself", can be associated with countries as well as individuals. Grey Largest County In Western Ontario One of our townsmen in this office last Saturday was giving the new map of Bruce and Grey the once over. After sizing up that elongated Bruce Penir.-ula and imagining it was cut off at Wiarton and placed alongside Bruce on the Lake Huron side to sort i f square it, he said Bruce was larger than Grey. We looked up the figures and he was out in his guess by 127,- 400 acres, or more than the combined area of Sullivan and Derby townships. Grey has the second largest area in Ontario. It contains 1,069,900 acres Bruce, fourth with 942,505 acres. Hastings, which is a narrow county but reaches away up into Central On- tario, is the largest county with 1,094- 832 acres. The second smallest county is Halton with only four township-s and its five urban municipalities, Oak- ville, Burlington, Georgetown, Milton and Acton, having a larger population than the townships. Brant, with five townships and one town, Paris, has the smallest aceragc in the province with 21fi,070 acres. Dufferin County, which was formed out of portions of Grey, Simcoc, Wellington and Peel when Lord Pufferin was governor- general, lias an area of 558,926 acres There arc five unions of counties in Ontario for both municipal and jud icial purposes. The.'e are Northum- berland and Durham; Lennox and Ad- ding-ton; Dundas, Stormont and Glen- garry; Leeds and Grenville; Prescott and Russell. WHY THE LOCAL PAPER IS CONTINUED Newspaper subscribers often won- der why a publisher keeps on send- ing a paper when the subscription has expired. An exchange thus ex- plains the matter: When a subscrip- tion is paid to a certain time, and tht Une expires and the paper is stopped it looks aj if the editor doubted tht integrity of the subscriber, and nim r ITU out of ten the subscriber will (fie the editor a calling down, for in- siaualing that his credit was no good. Rather than cast any reflection a gainst a neighbor's honesty to pay a small debt it has been customary for aewvpapers to continue sending the paper after the time has 'expired. The city weeklies and dailies do not gen rrally follow this rule as their sub- rfribers are at a distance and do not know their financial standing. One deem it an honor to know that SHIELD IS PRESKNTF.D TO SOFTBALL CHAMPS At a meeting of the Young Peoples' Society, held in the United Church on Monday evening, the presentation otf the handsome shield, emblematic- of the girls softball championship of th. Y. P. S. of Grey Presbytery, was pro sented to the society. Tbe Dundalk girls did ont lose a game during the series. Presentation of the shield was made by Mr. Howard Graham, of Vandeleur, Convenor of Recreation. Mr. A. Shackk-ton, of Priceville, Con- venor of Citizenship, was also present at the meeting and cave a short nd dress. Installation of the officers re- cently elected was conducted by Rev E. Baker, the pastor. It was decided to present a short play in the church the last week in February. Lunch was served and an enjoyable social :imc spent. Dundalk Herald. M* credit is not doubted when the publisher continues to send the paper Should the subscriber desire to have his paper discontinued he should in onn the publisher and remit to date ." any is owing. Mill Made A Profit The Osprey Farmers' Milling Co I'M improved their financial position fonsiderably during the past year They have Ixvn able to declare a divi dcnd of 12 per cent on their stock and aUo were able to lessen the out standing book accounts by quite a inargin. This is an excellent show ing for the times. Even folks on the level have their ups and downs. Holstein, Jan. 11, 193k Dear Boys of South-East Grey: I feel that at the beginning of a New Year I should write to you for several reasons. First to thank you for the support you gave our movement throughout 1931 in our camp, confer- ence, election campaign and group activities. I am pleased to say that through your co-operation we have now 12 groups in this riding compared to four one year ago. We now have four in Durham, two in Flesherton. two in Hanover, one in Dromore and three in Holstein. 'May we strive to make even greater progress in 1932. Then I want to tell you very briefly of our experiences at the Eleventh Older Boys' Parliament. Wes. Wright of Hanover represented the northern part of Western Ontario as a Trail Ranger representative and gave a fine speech on the debate to the speech from the throne. We ate and slept at Burwash Hall ttnd we held our meetings.caucuses and sessions in Trinity College, (Angli- can) which is very beautiful. W<- gathered on Saturday, December 26 About 100 of the lad-3 went to a pro- fessional hockey game and some went to see Al Plunkett's "Dumbells". On Sunday morning we had a most im- pressive service in Knox chapel aftei which the 121 members signed "The Oath of Allegiance to the King oi Kings". We went in small parties after dinner to the various Sunday schools. I went with three othei boys to Victoria Presbyterian church They have an average attendance ol over 800. We then toured Hart House and had supper and spent tht evening in the Music Room. The House had four sessions. Every moment was packed full of activities committees and groups. Each morning we were inspired by Rev. Crossley Hunter's spirited messages. We heard three lectures in three afternoons: Spencer Clark on "Co-operation in In- dustry": Lt. Col. Drew on "Disarma- ment" and Rev. Fry on "A New Christian Social Order". Comment on the value of these messages is un- necessary. The actual legislation of the Parlia ment is not I think a-a important as the high fellowship and the great in spiralion for Christian service. Last year a measure was passed which stated that no boy who used tobacco or alcoholics could run for parliament Leaders noted a great improvement in the membership. A new clause was added this year to define more clearly the spiritual qualities <xf the members. The amendment re cade training caused a heated debate and brought out fine arguments on both sides. A resolution which I helpei to bring in was one concerning a Leadership Training course for rura boys in winter months. I would be glad to receive inquires from anyone interested. The finance bill was passed. The board is in serious straits and the bond selling campaign mu-st go over or we will lose eithfei Charlie Plewman or Gordon Lapp and Oitario can not afford to lose either one. The opening session was impressive and colorful. We had a full gallery. His Honor, Lt. Gov. G. Russell Ding- ham opened the Eleventh with all the ponip and ceremony of a British Par- liament and Premier G. S. Henry gave us a thought provoking speech ol welcome. Premier John A. Hunter of Peter- borough filled his position with dis- patch. Lors Carlson of Noranda gave some real spirited opposition and Paul Moore of Oxford County filled the same position as last year min- ister of Organization. Although he was the defeated candidate for prem- ic-nhip he interpreted the true spirit of Tuxis by sitting beside the premiei and becoming his chief councillor. Judging the success of the parlia- ment from the serious-mindedness ol the members, the high inspiration of the usefulness of the legislation; it Is safe to say that the Eleventh Oldei Boys' Parliament has reached a high water mark in Boys' work. Hoping that this year will see a reat advance in our work, I remain, Yours fraternally, R. ALEX SIM. South Grey: As was reported last week South Grey has been honored in- asmuch as the present member, Alex Sim of Holstein was chosen Ministei of Education at the eleventh session oif the Older Boys' Parliament. But according to this week's bulletin, as you will see by reading down the column, a further honor has come to thi-s constituency through its member. At. the final session of the Parliament Aiex was one of five members chosen to contest the premiership of the twelfth parliament next December. Further South "Grey had one of the ten Trail Ranger representatives from the Province, the honor falling to Wes Wright, of Hanover. Small Advts.

In the past yoar export of eggs -from Halifax to Bermuda have held steady de-spite the advantage of lower prices enjoyed by competing expert product. This is a fine indication of the value of stand- : i dized grading for eggs and of the benefit of government inspection of export eggs. Canadian exporters have secured the confidence of the Ber- muda market in the quality of thei product and the reliability of our grades. The -same is true with re upect to the export of eggs to New- foundland, where quality is winning confidence with the result that im- portant new markets for Canadian eggs are developing.

HAW Ceylon Store closes every evening hut Wednesday & Saturday Catalogue and City Competition The thing for the merchants of this community to do in their own interests is to advertise faithfully, and to make their printed announcements interesting and helpful to those trade and favor are desired. Mail Order Houses and the large department stores of neigh- boring cities with their striking advertisements and catalogues are serious competitors of local meichants. The poorest way to offset this competition is for our local merchants to remain silent. For them not to "speak up" is to give mail order houses a better chance to get business from this community. A WORD TO THE PUBLIC When you send your money to a city store you enrich the great and empoverish this community. Strengthen not weaken the merchants of this community. It will all be returned to you in the form of better seruice and better values. Advertisement are interesting Read Them! ' i - . . - ? \
