TELL YA WHAT SON . . . I WON'T DID'-CUSS YOUR YOU WON'T DISCUSS MINE! FROM MY WINDOW By Shirley Keller The invitation vvtlikch council extend- ed ydnday night to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to call a meet- ing to consider including all of Seaforth witlfin the authority could result in long term benefits to the town. Seaforth is located on the border be- tween the Maitland Valley Authority and the Hayfield River basin. The town- participation in the authority is limit- ed to that portion north of ,Goderich Street that lies within the Maitland basin. Because it is located partly in, partly out of the Maitland jurisdiction many of the direct benefits that might be expected from association in a con- servation authority have not been forth- coming. On occasions in the past it his been suggested that the Maitland Authority should ,have added to it those munici- palities drained by the Hayfield River but objections by one or two of those involved 'have brought discussion to a otandatill. While certainly this would be the de- sirable arrangement from every stand- point, if it continues to be beyond reach, sold to J.G.Wallace of London. The trans- action was made through the real estate agency of Watson & Reid, With the dissolution of Parliamimt and the issue of the writs for a general elec- tion, election officials went into high gear to have everything in readiness for polling day June 11th. W. H. Golding, who repre- sented Hu-on-Perth in the recent parliament has received the Liberal nom- ination. In the last election, Mr.Golding's majority was 2,150. Mrs. E. H. Close, president of the Seaforth branch of the Red Cross and Mrs. K. M. Campbell, secretary, are attending the • Provincial convention in Toronto' as delegates from this area. L. Wren Elizabeth Smith of Ottawa spent the paSt week with her parents, mr. and Mrs. W. D. Smith, in Egmondville, before leaving far Halifax. Spr. Donald Dale returned from Over- seas after spending the past five years in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Louis Boshart of town-has moved. into the house on north main street which he purchased from g. H. Close. John W. Hanna was the unanimous choice of the Huron-Bruce, Progressive Conservative nominating convention in Wingham. Mrs. Leonard Noakes of Hensall, re- ceived word that a box of eggs she had mailed to her brother, LAC David Sang- ster in England, had reached its destin- ation without an egg being broken. It is said that one swallowdoesn't make a summer and it IS quite evident that even a flock • of robins doesn't make a spring. We have plenty of robins but for two weeks spring has go,ne around the corner. Monday night there was a heavy hail Storm and Wednesday an almost con- tinuous fall of snow. APRIL' 16, 1920. . Wesley Nott of TuckersMith is moving. this week to the farm he recently pur- chased on the Huron Road. Mr. Bowers of Logan is making his rounds in McKillop with his drag saw and there will be no scarcity as he averages forty cords of wood a 'day. Mathew Armstrong of Constance has purchased the one hundred,a.cree farm 'of Robert Dunlop, also the fifty acres of pasture land from Wm. Knox of McKillop. R. D. Murdock of Brucefield has been having great success at the different spring fairs with his new Clydesdale stallion. 0 On a busy day at the freight yards at Brucefield, two loads of hogs were shipped, one by the local .buyers and one by Mr. , Fitzsimmons of Clinton. The Cold weather of the past week with the sleighs jogging around and the fur Coats out again is not much like the spring season the farmers at Kippen are wishing for and many report that feed la not tee Pitintihil. Beattie's drove, known to everyone', old anxt yOurig, in Seaforth 'for a generation And•rfiere.AS ,a Plenic and pleasure ground, was. soli! week .hy tarries Beattie tb WriL 'Rattry. Mr. Beattie had held the prOpert" for years in the hope that -an effOrt hid be Made by the town to have it Made tOttptiblic park, as it corriptises about 8 aerea of beautifully wooded land Dilly tt few b1ddlt4 town. " the ,thOWielt• On Sillithiy Made good Seaforth, at this time, is wise to move of its own accord. It has everything to gain and nothing to lose by moving now. Despite the problems of the past, the fact that the association of all Huron municipalities with one or other of the two conservation authorities has been pressed by county planners, may pro- vide enough incentive to produce fav- ourable decisions, The authorities — the Maitland and the Aux Sauble which through the years have don& an excellent job on be- half of the municipalities they repre- sent, would be in an even better posi- to carry out their responsibilities if all of the county was involved. With the growing problems of pollution and erosion facing every community it is imperative that full advantage be tak- en of any and all programs that are available to protect the outdoors from the ravages 'now at hand. The conser- vation authorities are best equipped to undertake such tasks and With the grant schedules available to them can ensure that the work is done most economically. Mr. Fraser is preparing to build a barn at Hayfield; a vault is to be built and several improvements made in the Sterling Bank. Mr. W. R. Jowett has made arrangements to build a fine large pavilion and the town hall is to be en- larged and placed on a cement foundation .with basement and cement veneered. APRIL-19, -.1895. The Ross.property at Brucefield has been sold. W. Scott of 18rucefield has bought the church and ground for $220; the ldts near the village were purchaSed by Robert Ross for $500; the manse and grounds were sold for $520. Edivard Elliott of Hayfield is having the ',Albion ••Hotel put in readiness for summer visitors. The proprietors of the River hotel and the Queen's purpose enlarging their buildings. Mr. Forsyth of school section 2, Tuckersmith, has some 15 scholars on the way for the examination for the High School. -G.' C. Petty bf Hensell shipped a carload of pork and.lard to Sarnia, where he has a large wholesale and' retail sildre. • Thos. Ward of Varna informs us that he has just sold four two year old steers, the combined weight of which figures up to 5300 pounds. They were sold for 5 cents per pound for May delivery. The most disastrous fire that has visited Seaforth for some time ocdurred early Wednesday when the commercial Hotel, billiard and sample rooms to the rear were completely destroyed and the Bank of Commerce block was badly dam- aged by fire, smoke and water. There was a strong wind blowing from the north east and sparks were flying thick onto the roofs of- the buildings to the south and those across the street. R. Logan's bank 1n the north corner of the hotel building was completely demolished. C. Wilson's grocery and •Ed. Dawson's liquor store were damaged by smoke and water. Many farmers have commenced plow- ing and the land was -too wet to do much on it and seeding is likely to be unusually late this year. The Kinburn cheese factory Will start work for this season and the milk wagons will be on their several routes. Peter MacKay;-deputy reeve of Tucker- smith, who has been spending two weeks in Algoma With his brother, returned home . He reports all the former Huron- ites located in that district well and pros- perous. Rev. Neil Shaw of Egmondville left for Woodstock to attend the meeting of Synod. In accordance with previous announce- ment, Hugh McIntosh's delivery and . agricultural implements took place and made quite a stir in town.. As fast as they could be loaded at the freight house, they drove onto Main St. until between 50 and 60- wagons stood at the lower end of the town. A procession was •formed led by the 33rd battalion band and including Mr. Wettlaufer and Mr. Mcintoah in a buggy; Messrs. Chesney and Hamilton on horseback and other gentlemen in a car- riage and all of whoib using gay horses. Addresses were delivered by Mayor Gray; Dr. Bethune and 1V/.X.McLean of Seaforth; and Thos. gi Hays oflitegillOp. I've 'been giving some thought lately to discontinuing this column. I'm be- ginning to feel• like the movie title "Sterile Cuckoo" implies - unproductive and stupid. I seem to have gone dry of ideas and new formats.. Every week I write the ' same old things and every week my style, seems to get less and less exciting. Just when I think my problems are worse than anyone else's I hear something that makes me forget my little worries so that I can throw back my head and laugh.. Today was one of the.splays and now I'm right on top of the world gain. , • • I suppose you heard about the young lady who was having the "big problem that is really little", 'You didn't? Well, .it seems t re was a lovely sweet young thing (i cidentally, this is an absolutely 'true st ry - I kid you not) who' would have be totally lovely had she been just a little better endowed above the waist and below the .chin. In plain language, the - poor little thing was flat-:chested. That's not one of my figure faults so-I have no way of knowing just how wounded this young lady really was, but I have heard that it can be carte a blow td certain females 'if development in the bust area is somewhat less than desired. Being a modern miss, she decided to do something about it. She went to one of these "we-can-fix-anything" beauty bars to be inflated 'in just the right SUGAR by T'ere's nothing like 'a little change at this time of year to pull you out of the ddidrums., That's what my wife said when the school holidays were coming up. And she was right. Most of our friends were going some- , where: Skiing, Florida, Jamaica, Mexico, ' South Carolina. Family obligations and lack of cash . vetoed anything like that, but she had ,a wonderful plan, 'My brother-in-law and family ,were going. to Florida. They live . in the city. We',d go to the city, stay at their plate, saving a big hotel bill„.take in a few shows, and •step out to dinner a ' couple of times., "It'll be just like home for you" says she.. ,,You can take your exam papers and mark them, you won't have a care in the world; - w,e'll have some fun, and it will be a nice change for you." It was. Our, daughter was home for the week- end, but was going back to the. city to stay in the grubby hole her friends rent. She wanted to take back her cat' and kitten. She was prevailed upon to wait until mid-week - when we were going down - for the animals' sake. First mistake. Word, got around among her friends. Second mistake. To cut it short, we left for the 'city with 'two cats, four teenagers, two big boxes 'of grub for Kim, enough clothes to go to Europe, and me in 'a surly mood. Arrived at Kim's abode and carried up the food, only to discOver that three teeny-boppers had beat her to it, and there wasn't room for her. Took her back with us to brother-in- law's house, a handsome place indeed. Picked up the key from a neighbor, as arranged. Turned key 1.11 lock. It bent. Played with lock. Stomped on key With heel to straighten it out. Couldn't. Fi- nally door swung open. Great relief. Fumbled for lights, all located in wrong place, "Phew! This place stinks," sald'Xim.,,Ste was right. Dopey sister-in- law ha notturned refrigerator off pro- \ perly. Freezer was unfrozen, water all over floor, meat putrid. Solid hour of mopping up, scrubbing out' frig. All hope of harnburge; gone out in garbage, rotten. Eveiltually, I made a mess of crumbled buns in a large - tin of spaghetti sauce. It tasted like spaghetti sauce, which is pretty strong without spaghetti. House was cold. Turned heat well up. Nothing happened. Steatn heat., An hour later it was 80. Turned heat way down. Nothing happened. Steam. • Tried washing, dishes. No hot water. Afraid to go out to show, or anything, be- cause of faulty key. , Might never get In again. Suggested: "pet's get the hell out of here and check in at a hotel." No takers. Too- tired. Watched TV and went to bed. Next day same thing. Hot water came on, for no reason, but wife and'daughter ;bickered most Of day, dab fOr no reason,. Had' company. Sent out for' food. Stayed up too late. Fell asieep. Awoke to great squabble and daughter leaving, with her cats . persuaded her to.settledown. Three places. Apparently the operation was succes- sful. The young lady was not disappointed. For a few months, she put forth a better "front" than sheever had before. I don't know all the ins and outs of the story - but this ,morning I heard the ups and downs of it. The gal is now suing her bosom builder for something like $75,000 be- cause one of her breasts to quote the newsbroadcaSter, "sprang a leak and went flat,''. Comments like that make me wonder just how this bosom building is accom- plished. It sounds to me as though it must the done by much the same tech- nique aS they use to firm-up heavy- duty tractor tires - by loading them with dome kind of special fluid. I remember when we lived- on the farm , it was a black day indeed when' all the fluid went out of the tractor tires. I can imagine how upsetting it could be for a woman if' all her buxom beauty began to drip 'away little by little. But to find yourself at half-mast with only one side of you in full bloom must, be more than the average stout hearted gal could stand. I .hope this girl collects her $75,000 or whatever it is.-After all, what price do you put on digfigurement, dampened spirits and. soul -deep embarrassment. I have only one word to say to- this wretched woman: It is better to have had and lost then never to have had at all. • a.m. and no buses running. She's not so dumb, and agreed. Third day, worse. Freezing rain and snow outside, no food and raw nerves in- side. My wife was right from the start. It was just like home. Arid my exam papers were still in the suitcase.
