The Branch feels that 'had the purpose of Tag Day for the Blind not been so publicized, the results might have been far .different. As it is the members are very happy over the results. Of course, a very "big hand" goes to the faithful boys and girls who did the canvassing, and last but certainly not least, to Mrs. W. S. Hall who gave so generously of her time and ability. Murder Victim Betty Playford, 11, of Owen Sound, Ontario, whose slain body was .found in a ditch half a mile from her home. Her skull was crushed by blows from a dull weapon and the coroner's re- port revealed she -had been criminally attacked before being slain. GIVE GENEROUSLY TO RED SHIELD Many thousands of men and women never go to church, and are never reached by organized religion, Many people, through misfortune, poverty or disgrace, feel out of step with the other people in their community, and outside all ordinary concern for their welfare. To theSe, and to scores of others without a church, The Salvation Army goes, bringing the only religious teach- ing they know. With this - spiritual help goes material aid, and a very real concern for their well-being. The Salvation Army ranks high in the hearts of people to-day just because of this concern for their spiritual and physical welfare. To-day, The,Salvation Army in our community is making an appeal for fi- nancial help, in order to carry on its useful work for all mankind. Citizens should give generously, to show their appreciation of its many services to iumamty. Help the local committee reach their Objective of $2,400.00. Preached At Clinton Rev. W. A.

Pleva Of Western 'University Was Guest Speaker The regular meeting of the Lions Club was held at the ,Queen's Grill on .Friday evening with several guests present. Lion Sam Burton in intro- ducing Vic Loughlean and Carl Ben- •riett who guided the Juvenile Hard- ball team to the Championship and Barry Gerrie the Softball Midgets, told of how *much they had done for sport. Me also remarked that the installation -of lights at the park had put Wingham on the map. Other guests were Dr. E. G. Pleva, Carman Coats, Coun. Camp- bell and Mayor Kennedy, who were welcomed 'by President, Frank Madill, Tailtwister Wally Armstrong had such a busy night levying fines that he called on the assistance of Dr. Irwin •and Gordon Buchanan. Dr. E. G. Pleva, associate professor, -of Western ;University, and a member of the Town Planning CommisSion for the City of London, gave a very en- -lightening address in "Town and Coun- try Planning. Cities grow and countrysides change, .nothing remains the same, he said, and .any plans made should allow for rede- signing in the light of changing con- -ditions. He adv,ocated that the coun- .tryside surrounding a town should not .be neglected but should be a part of 44 same plan. It is amazing what can` .be done without spending millions. There are no experts—only special- ists, arid 'every community has special- ists. He says an expert is an ordinary fellow a long way from home. Seek ways to encourage stagnant capital to have a part in the develop- ment of the Community. Protect indus- tries 'already established and make it .attractive for local money to be in- vested, and by doing this you will at- -tract outside capital. Private enter- prise 'must make it possible fOr the Canadian labourer to own a...house for his family in keeping with the resour- ,ces of the Canadian enviroment. The motto: Dr. Pleva said "Should be the greatest good for the greatest zumber". Minority must have its aights protected, but sometimes it gets its way to the damage of the majority .because it makes more noise. Keep .speculation out as much as possible. In his closing remarks Dr, Pleva said, have confidence in your own abil- ities, skill and dreams, you have the aiecessary specialists in your midst to plan for the survival of your commun- ity. Call upon specialists as needed, but remember, the best planning will be that which you do yourself. A hearty vote of thanks was moved by Lions Wilford Cruickshank and A. D. MacWilliam. Lion John Hanna brought to the at- :tuition of the Club that the Brussels Lions Were holding their Frolic that -night and a couple of loads were org- anized to attend. President Frank informed the mem- 'bets that the International President would be in London on October 8th, and several signified their intention of Attending. The meeting closed with the usual song and roar. It' T. U. The regular meeting of the W.C.T.- U, was held at the home of Mrs. joint Kelly on Friday pate, September 9. The Atteedamice was small but it is hoped all members will attend the Oct- ober meeting. Some startling facts were brought out by use of the "Clip Sheets". The fact that over 780,000 cwt of wheat was used by distillers in 1945 did not mean any gain for the farmers by thus selling their wheat, since they could not buy enough feed for their hogs to supply tither the home or foreign Market. One million dollars gives employment to an average of 95 wage earners; while the same sum invested in forest products gives employment to 830 persons. To sup- port our temperance work, our prayers Mist be enlisted, also'ur best thoughts and efforts. We must keep otteselves informed, must inform others and al- tteate our youth as to the evils of eirinkittg. Mrs. Wm. Field, in the absence of Mrs. 13, Gowans, read the report of the W.C.T.I.1. Convention held in Goder- ich June. The address was given by Rev. Junes, 'a former minister of Goderich. He •said that the "Ladies Home Journal" of Philadelphia and the "Punch" of England both refuse to publish any liquor advertisements. Two out of three arrested in 'our pravinee are liquor eases, It is better to lose in a noble cause than to 'be ttictessful an evil cause. Young 'people are urged to remember 'that Lord Kitchener and Lord Roberts were' total AbStainett, and urged their men to be the same. The meeting was closed by prayer by Mrs. Field, HURON COUNTY PLOWMEN PREPARE FOR BM MATCH Huron County Plowmen, who bro- ught many honors to the county a year ago when an International Match was held at Port Albert on their own door- tep, are sharpening their plowshares now to go farther afield for plowing laurels. It is expected that a strong contingent of match plowboys will re- present Huron in the international match which will be held near King- stori, 'Frontenac county, October 14- 17, Among those who are likely.to tra-, vel to Eastern Ontario to. compete in the match are , James B. Hogg of Seaforth in the walking-pfow claisses, and a group of tractor plowmen which will probably include William Roger- son and Alex Kerr of Seaforth, Gordon Rapson of Londesboro, Arnold Rath- well of Clinton and William Coutts of Walton. The =two-man teams that will rep- resent Huron in the inter-county jun- ior farmer' plowing matches in Front- enac county next month are to be chos- en on the strength of their showings in the North Huron Plowing Match, which is to be held near Wingham on October 8th. Leading competitors from among whom the two young men for the county team in the horse drawn match are likely to be selected, are John Clark and Arthur Bell of Gode- rich, Lorne Ritchie of Lucknow, NOr- man Pocock of Wingham and Graeme McDonald of Brussels. Junior farmers who are regarded as possible material for thetwo-rrian team to compete in in- ter-county tractor plowing include Ken Rogerson and Bob Irwin of Seaforth, Ken MacDonald of Brussels, Gerald Dustow of Port Albert and Donald Jeffrey of Exeter. As tune-up matches for the county plowing match at Wingham, a series of four coaching days has been arrang- ed by LeRoy G. Brown, agricultural representative for Huron and com- menced on Monday, HARVEST SERVICES AT ST.
