The owner proved to be Mr. Samuel Hannah, of Birtle, Manitoba. It is only a Manitoban who can afford to sport so much money so carelessly these hard times. Mr. A. Roe, of Wingham, is not the posses- sor of that fine horse, Garfield, by Clear Grit, having traded a fast team of mares for him. Clear Grit was bred by Mr. George Whiteley of Seaforth. The country roads are now worse blocked with snow than they have been in years. Large audiences are attending the revival meetings held by the Misses Dimsdale in the Methodist Church, Brussels, and numbers profess a change, which it is hoped may last. Those sudden changes are generally followed by a sudden relapse. Reason is always a better guide than emotion. Feb. 27, 1914 Edison's latest invention, the lcinetophone, or talking motion pictures, has at once taken its place among the high class theatrical attractions now touring the country. A pro- gramme of 12 excellent subjects, combing musical and dramatic numbers, speeches by prominent statesmen and suffragettes, vaude- ville and minstrel numbers, has been arranged for presentation in the first class the- atres. The talking pictures will be the attrac- tion at the Opera House in Seaforth for two nights, with daily matinee, commencing Monday, March 2. Kippen has been having a real estate boom, a number of residences having exchanged hands at good prices. Something of a record in livestock ship- ments was created at Brussels on Wednesday of last week, when William Jewitt shipped 111 hogs to Toronto. An explanation for this usu- ally large numer maybe found in the fact that during the recent cold weather no shipments were made at all. Mr. Jewitt's partner, John Bateman, shipped 39 hogs from Ethel station, six miles east of Brussels. All the animals were between five and six months old and their average weight was 200 pounds. At nine dol- lars per hundredweight these represented a good heap of money. Feb. 24,1939 Huron County was unsuccessful in its bid for the 1940 International Plowing Match. The annual Lions Club Milk Carnival will be held on Friday evening of this week at the Palace Rink, when an outstanding program for skaters and spectators will be presented.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Adams of Egmondville this week celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary. Egmondvolle scouts won't forget scout week this year. It's the week they purchased the former Egmondville Church shed as head- quarters for Scout and Guide activities.

In Seaforth, as many communities both large and small across the country, meetings were held in observance of Brotherhood Week The demand for bulk fertilizer in the spring of 1963 and summer has led Topnotch Feeds Limited to introduce complete bulkhandling facilities.

Feb. 22,1989 A letter of complaint from a Seaforth resi- dent, concerning parking on Seaforth's Main Street, evoked some heated debate at the recent meeting of Seaforth Town Council. The letter, which stated a local resident's annoy- ance at the difficulty in obtaining a parking space on the Main Street, also named mer- chants, store employees and councillors as unnecessary users of these spaces. There is off-street parking available to merchants. The town of Seaforth has a model resident in the person of 19 -year-old Brian Dupuis. The young Seaforth man, son of Rene and Nichole Dupuis ofFranklin Street, was chosen the best overall model in his class (age 13 to 19) at a three-day competition held in Toronto last week. It was hosted by the Modelling Association of Canada (MAC) and featured over 500 top models from across Canada, 60 of them competing against Mr. Dupuis. This week at Maplewood Manor cupids, hearts and flowers were added to the decor. On Tuesday morning, Valentine's Day, bright red hearts decorated the placemats at break- fast. At noon, a touch of spring was added to the dining room with potted plants of cro- cuses, daffodils and tulips that will bloom over the next few weeks.
