cynical adult
gets to be a
kid again
From Page 4
"We're here to sing for you," I offered,
leading everyone in a chorus of Jingle
Bells and the ice was broken.
After the first house, everyone was
much more at ease and ready to offer a
song to the neighbourhood. And, yes,
there were. a few snowball fights along the
way.
And, even the stressed -out, cynical adult
had a chance to be a kid again for an hour
or so. It was lots of fun - I highly recom-
mend it.

Another great start to holidays
in Seaforth, says aihtrnl visitor
To the Editor,
' What another great start to the holiday sea-
son in Seaforth!
It really was wonderfulto see all ` of the kids
and parents on the streets for the Lions Club
Christmas parade.
It was also great to have so many beautifully
decorated floats entered to ;make it fun for all,
including myself. The downtown looked great
too with all of the bright lights and festive deco-
rations! I know it's a lot of hard work for the
Seaforth Lion Club, businesses and other orga-
nizations to get all of the floats decorated for
that night, but it does make it extra enjoyable
for us to visit Seaforth.
I was also nice for the Seaforth Optimist Club
to inviteme back for breakfast last week!
Hopefully, you invite Rudolph and myself
back for next year's events!`

and maybe a carrot or two for the reindeer this
Sunday night.

Bookkeeper escapes injury after
falling through trapdoor in 1881
DECEMBER 16, 1881
Messrs. Wade Brothers, musical
instrumentdealer of Seaforth dis-
posed of nine organs and one piano
last week. This looks like business.
It is stated that James Hayes will
oppose Wm. Grieve for the
Reeveship of McKillop.
James R. Aitcheson, formerly of
the Expositor office has now
assumed sole control and propri-
etorship of the Paisley Advocate.
He gets out an interesting, newsy
local paper and so long as he con-
tinues to do so, he will succeed.
John D. Sills, bookkeeper at
Messrs. Broadfoot and Box's
Furniture Factory had a narrow
escape from a very serious acci-
dent. He was passing through the
second storey of the factory and as
it was dark he did not observe a
trapdoor which was in front of him
and he walked into it and fell full
force to the floor below, a distance
of about 12 feet. His hip and back
were bruised.

A.E. Gibson, manager of the
Dominion Bank here, who has been

Mr. Gibson has now completed his

Seaforth branch.
William McDougall, fur dealer of
Seaforth, last week purchased fifty
dollars worth of furs from D.
Quinlan of Egmondville, which he
collected in three weeks. This ele-
vated Dan to the position of cham-
pion hunter of Huron and Perth.
Robert Winter shipped a carload
of fine pigs on Thursday. The price
paid the farmers for them was six
cents per pound. Mr. Winters i.s one
of the oldest and largest shippers of
stock in the country and he has dis-
tributed much money among the
farmers in his day.
The Bell Engine Company of
Seaforth has given notice they will
again pay a dividend of seven per
cent on the fully paid up capital
stock of the company. They have
paid seven per cent every year
since the company was organized.

Miss Trout, who has been on sick
leave at her home in Stratford, has
resumed her duties at the Scott
Memorial Hospital, Seaforth.
As a proof of the wonderfully fine
mild weather at this late season of
the year we might just mention
that Mrs. R.D. Bell of Hensall has
a couple of rose bushes in bloom in
her garden and the flowers are cer-
tainly very beautiful.
The choir of Turner's church
enjoyed its annual fowl supper at
the home of the organist, Mrs. Roy

Whether it's caused by the stor-
age of corn or not, the Seaforth
arena has a rodent problem. In an
inspection in late November the
Health Unit noticed "proof of a
rodent problem in the upstairs
kitchen."
