sea THE STRATFORD MIRROR PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE FLETCHER JOHNSTON PRESS, STRATFORD, ONT. Vol. || STRATFORD, JUNE 9, 1933 No. The Holder of Paper No. 4348 Gets Prize Worth $5.00 This Week _ ' Now Not merely the anticipation of in- flation and seasonal activities can be responsible for the decided upturn which has been noted in the last sev- eral weeks in many lines of industry. Something more is involved. Perhaps the feeling has at last gripped the people of this nation that the depress- ion is over--or is about to die. Cer- tainly the rise in prices points that way. However, continued prosperity de- pends upon buying power. The wages and salaries of many have been re- duced to a level in keeping with the deilated prices of the past several years. Now these prices are going up. Soon the effect mjust be felt by wage earners. What President Roosevelt says in this particular, therefore, is important. It is important that em- ployers act instantly, for wages must keep up with the procession if the country is to put the depression per- manently among the things of the past. Quota Signed Up Thirty Stratford unemployed single men are likely to be placed in a work camp in Northern Ontario. The men, who are scheduled to leave for North- ern Ontario today, will be sent to Chalmer's Camp, West of Mattawa. They will be paid at the rate of five dollars per month with board. The opportunity to send a quota to Northern Ontario was presented to Stratford following a request by Mayor Graff to Hon. William Finlay- son, Minister of Lands and Forests. Quotas from Kitchener have already gone north, and St. Thomas, it is un- derstood, has also made application to have some men placed in work camps. Men to fill the quota have been signed through the government em- ployment office and the civic relief office. Another Lucky Number In This Issue Is Worth Getting Some lucky Stratford resident is owner of a copy of the issue of THE MIRROR dated June 2nd containing the Lucky Number 4348 on the first page.

Former Ontario Boy Gets Call Te Knox Church A call has been extended by the con- gregation of Knox Church to Rey. C. S. Oke, formerly of Brandon, Mani- toba. At a meeting of the congrega- tion on Monday night, Mr. Oke was chosen from eleven ministers who have appeared in the pulpit of Knox Church, and who have indicated their willingness to accept a call. The call will be "prosecuted" before Stratford Presbytery by a committee composed of J. H. Smith and Wi W. Gray, representing the Session, C. A. Down and A. J. Thistle, representing the Board of Managers, Mrs. G. R. Mark and Mrs. William Easson,_ re- presenting the ladies of the church, Harry Jackson for the Sunday School, and John Jackson for the Young Peo- ple of the church, ~ Should Mr. Oke accept, it is scarce- ly likely that he would assume his charge here before September 1. _Mr. Oke is an Ontario boy, a gradu- ate of University of Toronto. Recent- ly, he completed a post-graduate course at Edinburgh Theological Col- lege. Prior to going to Brantdon, Mani- toba, he was assistant at Chalmers Church in Toronto, and later was the pastor of Alexandra Church in Brant- ford. Mr. Oke is a war veteran, having served overseas with the artillery sec- tion of the First Canadian Division. Horses Usually Take Kindly To A Joy Ride Three horses in an automobile truck > are parked outside the Mirror office door as we write. It must be quite an | experience for the equines. The ani- mals were purchased from farmers the other side of Mitchell, and are be- ing taken to Toronto for re-sale. One other evening this week the same buyers made a similar purchase, and informed The Mirror that they had little or no trouble finding buyers. The owner of the truck was asked if he experienced much trouble in taking them that distance? It is only very seldom that we do. But one of these horses we had quite a time with. In fact, said the driver, we had to blind- fold him. After that we hadn't a bit of trouble. Usually horses seem to take very kindly to a motor ride, said the horse buyer. Where Eggs Sell For 4 or 5 Cents a Dozen The old saying "Go west, young man," is heard no more, and when one comes in contact with a western farmer he doesn't wonder why. This_ week we met an old Stratford boy ~ who worked for many years for The Whyte Packing Co. by the name of Jim Mathieson. He is farming now and has been for some time in a place called Watson, 400 miles west of Win- nipeg. He did not say it complaining- ly, but incidentally mentioned the fact that eggs in that part of the country sold for 4 and 5 cents a dozen, and last fall seventeen pound turkeys were sel- ling for 50c, but then said he, we are getting by at that. Some how or an- other the people of the west nearly all look on the bright side of life. RASTUS' GRANDSON "So this is your grandson, eh, Ras- tus?" "Yassir. He's a fine boy, too. Leads his class at school.' "Indeed? Come here, boy. . Sup- pose you had two dozen watermelons, and another. boy took five of them, how many would there be left?" "IT gueth ef I done git a holt o' two dozen watermillions, they ain't not boy on dis yere airth 'uld git five of 'em," -- replied the youngster.
