The old tyme music and dancing period was replaced by a sing-a-long. After,.two months absence the birthday party was once again on the agenda of events. Those who celebrated their birthdays in either February or March were hon- oured at the festivities. A combined group of Clinton and Blyth Women's Institutes provided the entertainment to a capacity crowd of both -residents and visitors. Mrs. W. Colclough was in charge of the program which had a definite Irish mood. A sing song got things rolling followed by a few Irish solos by Mrs. C. Wittich, Blyth who was accompanied by Mrs. E. Brown. A quartet composed of Mrs. A. Groves, Mrs. C. Nelson, Mrs. M. Batkin and Mrs. M. Gibbings sang a variety of songs which kept the audience very attentive. George Wilson played his Jews Harp, an, uncommon instrument and was well rewarded for his efforts with applause, Mrs. Col- clough got 'right into the swing of things by cal,ling a square dance for four couples decked out in their green and white St. Patrick's Day clothes. The couples were Mrs. Trick and Mrs. Tyndall, Mrs.. Grigg and- Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Wiltse and her daughter Mrs. Elliott. Pianist for the square dance •was Mrs. Radfort. When the clapping subsided the quartet of ladies returned to entertain. Mrs. Cunningham stewed down the pace with an en- joyable piano solo, Mrs. Nevins.was was next to display her talent namely playing the mouth organ. The next port-, ion of the program was a little different but very special for the residents. Eight young girls, . ballet students of Mrs. Zablocki to entertain and were appreciated im- mensely. Judi Wise, Rolina Boyce, Sharon Harper, Caro- lyn Bern and Mary Helen Clynick performed a ballet "At Last Spring" while Peggy Jones, Mitzi Ray a Deana Harper did a polish Folk Dance. The ladies, then presented the 42 residents celebrat- ing birthdays with a 'present, and needless to say just added to an already delightful day. Following a cup of tea, Miss Agnes Lawson, who celebrated her 96th birth- day expressed her thanks and that of the residents for a show, well done. There ' were only two groups of people at the special' Irish program of Family Night, those that are Irish and those that wished they were. The program was arranged and direCted by Mrs. Orville Storey of Seaforth and the" numbers were introduced by John Henderson. The Henderson Trio, Donna, Darlene and Debbie sang, several. Irish songs and the very popular Irish singer Clarke Johnson of Wingham thrilled the audience -with their favourites and included some Irish jokes. The dance numbers included Sharri Storey—Irish jigs, Verne Sawyer-- step dancing, junior square dancers were twin sisters Donna and 'Doris Lawson, sisters Debbie and Darlene Taylor, Leslie Lawson, David Townsend, Roy Brown, Verne Sawyer. Accompanists were Mrs.. Henderson, piano and Nelson Howe, violin, A vote of appreciation' was ex- tended to the group on behalf of the residents by Mrs. Leybourne. CLEAN 'LIKE MAGIC!

The UFO candidate received 2039.So the Liberal candidate won the seat, but held it only, until the next election, when Centre Huron chose Ebon R. VV1gle , Goderich druggist, as one of Hon. Howard Ferguson's 75 Gonservatives. A fete weeks after the 1919 election, Mr. Proudfoot was ap- ,Tointed to the Senate of Canada. The appointment was made by Sir Robert Borden, head of the Union Government. To a friend in Goderich, Hon. Mr. Proudfoot wrote: "Little did my opponents think that they were putting me in the Senate." . Senator Proudfoot served only three years in the Upper House. Stricken with appendicitis, he was admitted to Wellesley Hospital in Toronto and died after one week, on Sunday, December 3, 1922. He was in his 64th year. William Proudfoot was born Feb.1,1859, in Colborne township. His father, Robert Proudfoot, was a native of Perthshire, Scotland, and his mother, Margaret Darlington,- came from Wicklow, Ireland. (Regrettably, diligent Search of available, records has failed to determine the location in Colborne of Robert Proudfoot. The Journal of Knox Presbyterian Church, Goderich, . lists Robert Proudfoot as a member of the management committee in 1851, and an early settler on Lot 4; Concession 7, Colborne, was George Darlington, but the con- nection in each instance remains speculative.) William Proudfoot, the Goderich lawyer, was a nephew of Chief Justice-Proudfoot, of Vice- ' Chancellor William Proudfoot and The Rev. Dr. Williarn Proud- foot, missionary and organizer, ' who set up Presbyterian congre- gations in London, Goderich and elsewhere in the early years of settlement. After pasSirig through public and high schools of Goderich, he began to study law under Mr. Justice Garrow, subsequently en- ' tering Osgoode Hall. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1880, and in that year commenced prac- tice as a member of the firm of Garrow and Proudfoot. Upon the death of his partner, in 1916, he sought new affiliations and even- tually became senior partner in the firm of Proudfoot, Killoran ' and Holmes,,of Goderich. In 1902 MISS' MARGARET.

At the provincial election of et 1908, Mr. Proudfoot received the Liberal nomination and suc-. eeeded in breasting the sweep for the Conservatives which left only 19 Liberals in the Hmise. Hewes elected in 1911 aed again in 1914. On January 3, 1918, after N. W. Rowell's elevation to the Domin- 0 ion cabinet under Sir Robert Borden, the Centre Huron member was called to the tem- porary leadership of the Liberal party in the Legislature. "During the 1918 session," says the New -Era obituary article, "his general policy was • one of co-operation with the then Conservative goiernrnent for the facilitation of wartime activities. He supported the bill to prolong the (14th) Legislature until the retur n of the soldier voters, and spoke in favor of various other government measures. His pro- nounced stand in favor of Union Government aroused some opposition from within his own party,. He stuck to his gunS, however, and in June, 1919, at the provincial Liberal convention was not successfUl in obtaining election as permanent leader. • "Mr. Proudfoot, contested Centre Huron In 19.19 as an inde- Attorney. The Huron Bar Assoc- iation honored him with its presi- dency over a period of 25 years, and for many years he was presi- dent of West Huron Liberal Association." Election campaigns proved Mr. Proudfoot a competent plat- form performer, but ',not a great speaker," as Hugh Hill, former Colborne reeve, recalls; "not like Graeme Cameron." He is remembered as a great upholder, of his home town - -" the good old town on Lake Huron, there's none like her," he said at a public banquet.
