A stone building more than a
century old, known in the early
days as Seymour's Warehouse but
later as the cooperage shop of the
"Big Mill" is being razed. The
roof and interior are already pretty
well demolished and the sturdy
stone walls will be the next to
be torn down. The building was
originally used to store grain
brought to Goderich by district
farmers. It was latter abandoned
and lay idle for several decades.
Then, the late Joe "Williams used
it for making apple barrels for a
J.
brief period after which it lay idle
again. About half a century ago
Robert and Alex Megaw operated
it as a cooperage shop. There,
barrels were made to ship flour
from the "Big Mil." Finally, the
cooperage shop went out of busi-
ness, .too.

"SCHOOL'S OUT"
The years pass so quickly; first thin you
know your child's school days are oyer.
Will your boy or girl go on to profes-
sional, technical or other advanced
studies? A lot depends on the~ family
exchequer; your child will probably need
some financial help. So it's not too early
to start building up a special fund that
will assure a future,,education. Regular
deposits in a Royal Bank savings account,
now, can be a big factor it giving your
child ate hest possible start in life. "There's
nothing quite like money in the bank':

DON'T DO IT
Vandalism is playing havoc
with the rockarden being
renovated by the Goderich
Horticultural Society on Har-
bor Hill. Many flowers plant-
ed in this rock garden on the
side of the dill leading down
to the harbor have been pick-
ed, presumably by youngsters,
although some adults might
also be guilty. Parents are
urged to warn their children
not to pick these flowers. The
youngsters are doing definite
damage to a project of the
Horticultural "Society which
adds up to considerable time
and expense.
must follow the Lord's way of life.
Obedience
"The keynote of the Lord's life
of service was obedience," said
Bishop Townshend. "Yet, the
thing that most impressed people
on this earth about Christ was
His originality. To 'be obedient is
the first duty of every Christian—
not trying to be original. Be big
endugh to be just yourself—no
matter what line of work you may
follow in this life—and listen to
God's word for guidance in the
service he has in mind for you
to do for Him."
"Always seek, young people, to
learn the will of God and then do
it—whatever the cost may be,"
he stated, quoting the words of the
hymn, "Breathe on' me, breath of
God" as an example. e
"Put out of your lives everything
that prevents you from showing
who you are and wham you serve.
In this Christian warfare` you'll
find many discouragements, set-
backs and disappointments. I have
experienced them myself thruugh-
life. But Christ knows of these
for they are part of His plan,"
he said,
"At Calvary, everyone thought
that Christ had failed," said
Bishop Townshend, who went on to
show the success attained in the
world by Christianity. "Christian-
ity's success was attained by a man
who was once thought a failure,"
said Bishop Townshend.
"One thing that is vital is that
we persist, that we refuse to quit.
At a time in your life when you
think you are doing nothing you
could be doing mast for Christ,"
said Bishop Townshend, who paid
tribute to his mother for instilling
into him as a boy the importance
of persistence.- -
