COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By CARL NOW- 'Complete the report on We_Leadership Forum that was partaa llyre Ported last week. Ou Saturday morning the ses- ✓d4u was again led by Huron county graduates of the Ontario Leadership Forum. Mrs. Stanley Bride and Mrs. Gordon Greig, both Of Trowick Township, led a dis- cussion On Effective Speaking. The group was then divided into five parts arid each .person had a Chance tt, practice what was learn- ed. This was followed by critcism and questions. Mrs. Alex McGregor, of Tucker- amith Township, outlined the need for Publicity and Public Relations to make organization activity ef- fective. She used diagrams and illustrations to get the points across. Mrs. Frank Yeo, of Goderich Township, closed the course with a study of the art of reporting news to the press. This is an ef- fective means of getting informa- tion out to the public, but we need to .consider the views of the edi- tor. If our reports are to get to press they must be of definite interest; they must be brief, and they must be accurate. Here again all were given a chance to try their hand at "newspaper report- ing," with the good and bad points noted. In the Coop Commentary there is a quotation from an address given by Pandit Nehru, of•India: "Our modern structure of society is competitive , , . if that competition is based entirely on the acquisitive instinct of the in- dividual it brings trouble . . . the business of an acquisitive society is quite out of date, since, in theory at least, we have passed out of an age of scarcity into an age of abundance . . . unless we develop that completely dif- ferent mentality, the co-operative mentality, we come to grief, and - we come to conflict." Ernest Page goes on to com- ment: "The dilemma of the capi- talist countries arises from the fact that, as Mr. Nehru points out, the 'acquisitive society' is not ap- propriate in an age of plenty. Why compete viciously for a larg- er and larger portion of the world's gods when there can be enough for everyone, and where no one needs more than enough?" There is no need to be a mil- lionaire in Canada in order to be sure of enoiligh. So why accumu- late year after year? In one of our barns we have hay that is four or five years old. This, I must admit, is poor manage- ment on my part, and I will have to take steps to get rid -of it. The same applies to the accumu- lation of butter that is so much in the news.

Ffoulkes and Rev, Thomas McQuaid were in the Sanctuary. The pallbearers were Gerald and Frank Bruxer, Frank Cronin, John Nagle, William Smith and W. R. Dalrymple. Interment followed at St. Columban Roman Catholic cemetery. Suggest Ways To Clear Slow Sluggish Drains Waste matter that tends to clog drains, especially material' that will not dissolve in water, should never be disposed of through the drainage system of a house. Ac- cumulations of grease, for exam- ple, will slow down and sometimes block the passage of waste water. Plugged or sluggish drains can often be freed simply by using a plunger or force cup. In some cases, however, it may be neces- sary to employ other methods such as chemicals or mechanical de- vices. Lye, the chemical generally us- ed to clean out grease sediment and other obstructions in clogged drains, should be used only when proper precautions are taken. If a lye solution comes into contact with the body, especially the eyes, serious injury can result. Since the chemical is a caustic sub- stance, clothes should also be pro- tected against splashing. However, when instructions for their use are followed carefully, lye and other such chemicals are both safe and effective for cleaning out clogged drains, especially in the case of accumulation Of grease. When more persistent obstruc- tions are met and chemical flush- ing compounds prove ineffective, it may be necessary to use a "snake". This is a wire coil spring auger which can reach a consid- erable distance down the drain- pipe, chewing away at the obstruc- tion by means of a metal bit at- tached to the shaft. Some types are operated by hand, others by means of a motor. Although these types are used mainly by plumb- ers, simple, inexpensive "snakes" suitable for homeowners, are avail- able. A newer method of opening clog- ged drains involves the use of an explosive charge or ''gun". Like the motor driven "snake", this de- vice is. used mostly by plumbers who are familiar with its opera- tion.

Elliott Goderich, ( Y W. E h, in the Stratford Beacon -Herald) Last Post notices in The Legion- ary for January fill five columns. Deaths of more than 160 ex -service men nad been reported in one month by the Royal Canadian Le - ion's official magazine. They in- c:udcd veterans of every war in ths' c,.ntury, members of all three serv,ces• in U.K. and Canadian forces. and even individuals who had served in Russian, Italian and French armies. Most names, of c, urse, are Canadian, and among them we find that of Lieut, Harvie James Dorrance, MC, MM, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, who died at Victoria, B.C., November 15, aged 67. Harvie Dorrance was a McKil- lop Township boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Dorrance, He was in the Canadian West when the First World War broke out, and return- ed to go with the Seaforth party to Valcartier. He was just past 21 when he enlisted, and gave his occupation as farmer. With most Western Ontario volunteers, he found himself in the 1st Battalion, It was to be his home for 42 months. With it he fought in 23 battles, was twice wounded and twice decorated for bravery, He reached France in February, 1915, suffered a gunshot wound in the thigh in April and was sent to hospital in England, but got back in July. By the following January he was corporal; in April he put up three stripes. Soon after, a citation appeared in the battalion honors and awards file over the signatures of Lt. -Col. P. A. Creigh- ton and Brigadier -General Garnet Hughes, recommending • Dorrance for the Distinguished Conduct Med- al "for conspicuous bravery and coolness during the enemy attack on Hill 60 on the night of the 26/27 April, 1916." It continued: "After his officer and senior NCO had been killed or evacuated he was left in command of the trench with a number of the enemy occu- pying a sap in front. He at once proceeded to place his trench, which had beenbadly knocked about, in a state of defence and posted his men with great skill and judgment, at the same time establishing touch with both flanks and sending back information to his company. He held the situa- tion well in hand until the arrival of an officer and the organization of a counterattack, which drove the enemy from the sap." The Military Medal was awarded. * * In May, 1917, Dorrance was again wounded, this time in the arm, and was sent to No. 35 General Hospital. He did not take advant- age of his "Blighty" and was back with the battalion on May 19. In September he was sent to Eng- land to take an OTC course and .qualify for a commission. On Jan- uary 26, 1918, he was commission- ed and rejoined the 1st, FUNERALS JOSEPH R.

Hamilton, of Lon- don. formerly of McKillop Town- ship, where he resided all his life until retiring to Brussels. Mr. Hamilton was in his 84th year and died in Delaware Nursing Home on Satdhrday, Jan, 28. He was the widower of the former Ida Oakley, of Brussels', and the father of the late Mark Hamilton and Robinson Hamilton, of London. Surviving are seven grandchildren.

"During operations at the Nord Canal,' Lt. -Col. Sparling wrote, "the situa- tion on the right flank became ob- scure, owing to a German counter- attack. This officer took a patrol of three men and entered the vil- lage, got the location of German aLvanced troops, then got in touch with our flank troops. This was executed under heavy shell and MG fire. His reports were most admirable and all dispositions were made on these reports," The recommendation was for the Military Cross. It did not come through right away, and Col. Spar - ling later repeated the recommen- dation in a new citation. Lieut. Dorrance at this time was Scout (or Intelligence) Officer, and his reports were highly commended, which perhaps reflects sound basic training at S.S. No. 2, McKillop. "On October 1, during the Battle of Cambrai, this officer performed valuable service under very try- ing circumstances. Time and again he made daring reconnaissances and the information thus gained proved of inestimable value. He was untiring in his efforts and moved from point to point supply- ing information, keeping in touch and assisting in reorganization, Previously, during operations on September 27, he performed diffi- cult tasks of reconnaissance and liaison, continuing in his duties until forced by utter exhaustion to discontinue," This time, the Cross was awarded, * * * Back in Saskatchewan after the war, Harvie was chosen by Tisdale Liberals as candidate for the Leg- islature, and in 1934 defeated Hon. W. C. Buckle, minister of agricul- ture in the Anderson (coalition) government. The Parliamentary Guide at that time gave his post office as Lens. In 1938 contest he was defeated by J. H. Brockel- bank, CCF. Mr. Brockelbank had served in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. (He en- tered the. ministry, held various offices and now is minister of min- eral resources under Premier Douglas.) In the Second World, War, Mr. Dorrance served again, with rank of lieutena tt-colonel, Some years ago he removed from Saskatche- wan to Victoria, B.C. The Huron Expositor, Seaforth. has published the family particulars. Mr. Dor- rance is survived by his wife, the former Nina Copeman, of St. Thomas; one daughter, Mrs. Don Gatenby; also a brother, Guy Dor- rance, and one sister, Mrs. James Kerr, both of McKillop, On that great day in April, 1919, when the 1st Battalion marched through London, Ont., behind its colors, for demobilization, a photo was taken showing officers and men grouped closely at a platform from which someone was making a speech of welcome. In the front row, between Lieut. Hemsley and Capt. Scott, is Lieut. Harvie Dor- rance, medal ribbons visible, face upturned to the speaker. He was not quite 26. To many of us, he will always be remembered as on that day. Ask Yourself: How's Your Eye Q? "What color are the baby's eyes?" is a question every mother is asked.
