,:.Memorial Service
Addresses by Rear, U. E. Cronhielin
and Richard. H. 140rriSh.
Heard with Interest
The annual • memorial service at the
Colborne township- cemetery, held on
Sunday evening,'was of especial inter-
est and was attended by a large cone
course of the 'people of the township,
with . a goodly number from Goderich
apd elsewhere. Mr. H. A. McCreath
Welcomed the gathering in behalf of
the Township Council and the cemetery
committee and expressed pleasure at
the increased interest taken in the
township's "God's acre" and' the sup-
port being given the cpmmittee in
charge.
With Mrs. Jos. Snider at the piano
the gathering sang the hymns "Faith of
Our Fathers,' "Breathe on Me, Breath
of God,':. fid • "Jesus, Keep Me Near
the Cross." A duet, "Abide with Me,"
was beautifully sung by Mrs. Howard
Fowler and 'Mrs. Allan Wilson.
Rev. 'U, E. Cronhielm. minister -f
the Benrltiller United church, read from
the Scripture the story of the anointing
of Jesus (Matthew 26) and took as
the text of his 'address the words of
the 13th. verse, "Wheresoever this,
gospel shall be preached in the whole
world, there shall also this, that this
woman? hath done, be told for a mem-
oria"f df her:" Jae spoke of the pioneers
wha in faith and courage faced danger
494 olgdured, hardship in clearing the
land and establishing homes in the
new country and who built churches as
visible signs of their, faith. "What

asked the speaker, "than to carry on
the work which they commenced? Life
is brief, and we should pray, `Teach
us to number our clays, that we 'may
apply our 'hearts unto wisdom.' We
must ,lay hold on the fleeting moments
to make of our lives a Memorial that
will lust to eternity."
• A Colborne Old Boy •
An (`address that was heard with keen
interest was given by Mr. Richard H.
Morrish, a native of Benmiller, who
after spending many years in business
.life in the :United States has returned
• toebis tomeelandeandehasereeentleebeen'
living. in. Qoderich. He 'told of his
great pleasure in returning to Colborne,
township after an absence of over sixty
years anecailed some of the in-
cidents of his early years when he
knew the fathers and grandfathers et
many ot* those present in the audience;
He commended the annual. memorial
service and the opportunity it gave
for people who perhaps seldom saw
one a another to get together ;and renew'
acquaintance. The better they knew
and- understood one another, he said,
the betterwould they.. be able to see
and appreciate one another's good qual-
ities and so become one happy Colborne
faintly.
Mr. Morrish said that after much
thought he had resolved' for himself
a "philosophy of life." This was that
life was a preparation for a futurein
another_ world that we call Heaven.'
All ham- an beings would share this
future, in which they would have op
portunity to improve the good in them-
selves and approach nearer and nearer
to perfection. This might' be a rather,
unorthodox view and he did not ask
anyone to agree with him. ' •
He concluded his address•.by stating
that he expected in a few months to
make Goderich -•his permanent home
and he invited all his Colborne friends
to call and 'visit hire.
The singing sof "God. Save the King"
concluded the program.
AI'any in the gathering had brought
flowers which they placed on the graves
of loved ones in the cemetery. Much
thought and care lave been given to
the beautification of the cemetery of
recent yeers and its appearance bears
silent but eloquent tribute to the good
work of those in charge of it.
Mr. Morrish Seriously I11
Dining the night following this ,ser -
Vice Mr. Morrish was taken ill at the
'Bedford Hotel, where he was Staying,
and on removal to Alexandra hospital
was found to be in very serious• con-
dition with. heart weakness, -Though
in his eighty-sixth year he hes had the
appearance of a much younger man and
the*news of, his illness came asa great
shock to those who heard Itiin speak
with so much ease and vigor 'on Sunday
evening. His granddaughter, Miss
Robertson, has come from Chicago to
be at his side at the hospital.

THE FARM PROBLEM
Editor The Signal -Star.
Dear. Sir,—I was interested in your
editorial 'entitled "A Problem for
Huron" in The Signal -Star of July
25th, •
I would like to refer you to the
Farmer's Magazine -of May, 1946, which
has an article by Ethel Chapman en -
tilled "Farming Is a Way of Life."
Also to the replies in the July issue
entitled "Why Girls Leave the Farm."
I think possibly the .weekly papers
of, Huron county and CKNX, along with
llerp3ecutive of the Huron Federation
of •Agriculture, could outline a cam-
paign to keep Huron's boys and girls
in the' ;county and • on the land. But
first I think such a'group would have
to enquire of Huron's boys and girls,
who left the land why they left and
under what circumstances they would
return.
Yours truly,
ALEX. M. GLEN.
Clinton, R.R. 2.

the response has been practically
negligible, according to Mr. W. C.

classified as qualified carpenters, Mr.
Tripp stated.
