It has indeed been a wonderfu taw which is being enacted.. It wa passed at the last session of" Parlie menet arid: went into effect Januam 1, 1947. u Legislation: previous to that date. deserilbed permanent residents of tire Dominion of Canada simply as Brig %sh subjects. We were thus described, in all our passports, naturalization papers and similar documents. Now, Although British subjects, we have the .privilege of calling ourselves Canadian citizens. What a wonderful opportunity we have in belonging to a country such as our fair Dominion. Just what is this new law going to mean to us as individuals? What class of Canadian citizens axe we going to make. To be real good citizens one home life must be solid. We would never 'think of building a solid brink house or in feet a house of any kind on a foundation of mud bit yet we will try to build our family Life on a foundation which is just as insecure. �, People at times say "My parents were good people. They were not Christians, but they made our .home happy for us, we seldom went to church. but they did not object to us 'having a good time. The following conversation took place: "Do you have family worship?" "Oh, no, I never heard either my father or mother pray in my life. -Occasionally Dad uses God's name but it is not in prayer. I do not think he means anything by it though. "Do you mad the Bible yourself?" "No, I .drink we only have one Bible in the house. I saw it when I was cleaning out a cupboard." "Do any •of the younger children do to Sunday School?" "We never attend any church ser- vice unless it is an entertainment in which some of us are interested" "How do you put in your Sun- days?" "Oh, we usually sleep late in the morning as we are as a rule out late Saturday night at a dance or some show or theatre. Then we have our dinner. In the summer we go boat- ing, play_temtis or some other game. We either go to a friend's house or they conte to our place for tea. We do various things in the evening. and *suably end with a game of bridge before we separate, There is noth- ing wrong in what we do." "Are you happy when the day is' over?" h "Oh, 1 do not know, We have just put in time. Quite often we go for s a drive with a boy friend or a date. t There is a lot of talk in the papers about that sort of thing. In the o summer' we get a crowd together and 1 go to ammo where we have a jolly - ,time. Some of the boys take beer 1 or something heavier and we certainly s have a big time. We often take too much and have a hard time getting y "Are you not afraid of the possible result of such conduct? "Oh, no, we have it arranged •be- ferehand which one of the g girls is to keep sober. Of course w -axe not 'very clear-headed to go to work or school the next day but we had a good time while it lasted," "What time do you usually g borne?" "Around one, two or three o'cloc in ,the morning." "Are your. parents waiting up fo et k r. you. "Oh, no, they leave gone to bed at their usual time and V we do n�dt .make too much noise theydo not hear usI at all. There are times When we have had too much to drink and they have to get up and see that we are in bed properly. They give us a lecture in the morning but theyreallydonotc a ate sas long we are having a good time. That t true in many Canadian homes today. Just what 'kind of Canadian eitizene are coming from that home? We. to a large extent are responsible for it. We either fail -to use our franehrise or we go out and vote for someone who has no sense of responsibility as to the future of our ]young people or our older ones either. We say we have lie idea for whom to vote at times. That is tette. One could talk a lot of politics. At times we even go so far as to interview the candidate whom we are thinking of voting for and have secured his promise to do everything in his power to put down liquor and have been much surprised and disappointed when this all-important question has CMG up in either the Federal or Provincial Houses, to. learn that he has done just the opposite. He has voted in such a way that it has made it easier for the coming Canadian men -and 'women to secure the curse 'which amens their disgrace and downfall. Then there is the other side of the stony, the Christian hone, of which we have spoken recently, that ,truly happy place of abode where Jesus Christ our ,Saviour is the "Head of the Home," Preparations for the Sabbath go on all week. Clothes and shoes are trepared on Saturday night. Early' ours are observed, and the Sabbath Day is truly the Lord's Day, Church ervices and Sunday School are at - ended and the subjects there spoken G are talked over and thus impressed n the minds of those in the family. At the end of the day there is a Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce A General Meeting will be held on MONDAY, MARCH 17 at 8' p.m. COUNCIL CHAMBER for the purpose of ratifying the Bylaws as proposed by the Board of Directors, and discussing other pertinent business.

Solemn High Mass of ;Requiem was sung hi St, Janes' Roman Catholic ;Church, !Seaforth, at 9.30 aan. Monday, March 10, by . Rev. Father T. P. Hussey. assisted by Rev, Father F. Foulkes, Dublin. Interment was in St.James' Cemetery. Mr, Daly had been .in failing (health only for the past two months, but previous to that had enjoyed' a long active career in the business and public life of his town and district. He was a son of the late Thomas Daly, one of the pioneer business men of this county, and was born in ,lvginondville ,on September .19, 1872. He received his early rsY education at the EI gmondrvlle and Seaforth Public schools, and later •at ,Seaforth Col- legiate Institate, Mr. ,Daly had been In business on Seaforth Main Street for 57 years, Best in the jewellery business, and then as Ford dealer. Ile had handled the Ford Motor Company's products to fit themselves to give their best to their employer, who pays them for their services. Citizenship requires education and this necessitates education centres. European countries have had these. Canada is gradually stepping to the fore. Often we read where students are coming from many countries to be educated here. We have a right to feel that our fair Dominion may be eventually; even within a short period of time, the greatest centre of learning in the world. Will we not, each one of us do our best to help on with this project? Another bhing we should do is to take a sleep interest iu pubic affair's`. With the exception of the Bible there is nothing more interesting and in- structive than the newspaper. We should not pick out a certain part, read it, and then throw the paper to one side. Let us broaden our minds by branching into subjects ir. which we have previously taken little interest. In recent weeks and months there have been reports of different conferences. The majority of us have • paid no attention to them, but in them we would find world knowledge which would not be -available to us in such short form elsewhere, Then there is the editorial colunine which always contain some thoughts which are well worth while pondering. So many people have little interest in political questions. How can we vote intelligently if we do not read what goes on in the Federal or Pro- vincial Houses of Parliament and hew can we become good citizens if we do not to the best of our ability: understand the running of our country? If it is at -all possible we should always use our franchise. We are too careless altogether about this and we show a great lack of interest in affairs which should be of para- moent interest to us. Then we should live and work to- gether, and in that "we" Jesus Christ should always be included. His. enemies should be our enemies- Ile will protect all who are rejected •with Hint. "Christian life !tinges on one thing, and that is taking God at His word, believing that He means ex- actly what Ile says, and accepting the very word's in which He reveals His goodness and grace without sub- stituting others' or altering the pre- cise moods' and tenses which He has seen fit to uses" Above all the very most important element in good citizenship is Chris- tianity and our prayer is that we, each one, may take the first step towards this by believing in Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour. May we pray daily that we may closely Follow Christ and with Him as our Companion become good and true citizens of this land of which we have every reason to be and are so proud—the great and glurious Do- minion of Canada. "PEG" In amunieipal politics Mr. Daly had been active for 40 years, and had occupied every municipal and edu- cational position in the gift of the people. He started his municipal career in 1908 by serving as a mem. ber of the town council and continued to aet in that capacity for a nem- ber of years.

He had served Seaforth as Councillor, Reeve, Mayor. and+ Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, and in all these positions he had given able, honest and con- scientious service. In addiction to the •^tri, Mr. Daly played in municipal polities, he had always taken a conspicuous part in all the social. educational and ath- letic activities of ;Seoforth. He was a past chairman of the Collegiate Institute Board; past President of Seaforth Turf Club, Agricultural Society, Lions Club and Seaforth Golf Holding Corporation, and was a member of Holy Name Society and Knights of Columbus in 1901 Mr, Daly was united in ;marriage at St. Patrick's Cathedral, i Hamilton, to Mise Mary Phelan, _ of that city, who survives him, together MRS- WILLIAIVI CUNINGIIAM Relatives and friends from this district' attended the funeral of MTs.
