HURON PUBLISHERS MEET •
On Friday Hist the nubiishere of
Huron county were called to Grand
Bend to a conference by the presi-
dent
of theas e i t'
sea ion Mr.3. M.
Southcott, of Exeter; and,' although
the day was _wet and unpromising,
there was a good representation
pt'eserrt. On this occasion the news-
paper men were invited to bring a-
long their ladies and- those . taking
advantage cif the invitation includ-
ed: Mr. and Mrs. Naftel' of the
Goderich Star, Mr. and Mrs. G. E.
Hall and Miss Clark of The Clinton
News -Record, Mr. McLean of the
Seafortli Expositor,
� c
Mr: aha i
M ..
C.
Smith of the Zurich Herald, Mr.
and Mrs. H. Davis of the Mitchell'
Advoeate, 'Mr•. and Mrs. Larne Eedy
of the St. Marys Jgnrnal-Argus and
Mr. and Mrs. Southcott, who were
the gracious 'host and hostess for
the occasion.'
The meeting was held at: the club-
house of the. Oakwood Golf . Course
and the idea was that after the
business meeting an hour .or two of
golf shauid he. enjoyed by those wlto
wished it. The newspaper Hien got
dawn to "business about eleven o'clock
and discussed /natters of importance
to their craft, Mr. Lorne Eedy, who
i. a member of the national execu-
tive, being the chief speaker. But
it was a free and easy, round table
conference in which ail took part.
At one o'clock an adjournment• was
made to the Brennan House, Grand
Bend, where an excellent dinner was
served and was enjoyed to the full
(that expression is used advisedly),
by all present,
After dinner President Snuthcott
packed the party into three cars and
a tour was made of the park, where
many handsome summer hn'nes are
stiuetted,` and 'also the . other
side of the village, where there are
also many cottages. Then back through
the wooded drive to the 'Club house
where' another meeting was "held and
effieers were elected, T r, J, WI,
Senthcott was re-elected president
Miss Clark, vice-president and Mr.
McLean of Seaforth and Mr. Rehea-
t -ea Goderich members of executive.
and Mr. W. F. Naftel sec. -treasurer,
Regret was expressed at the eontin-
led illness of Mr. W. L. Craig of
the Wingham Advocate Times, At
he conclusion of this business, the
sun having appeared, a half dozen of
the more ardent golfers shouldered
their clubs and went out to show
chat they- could dn. But we shall
rivo no scores. When they tired of
this they came in to joie
the . others around a big
N fire and chat a bit befoee
t was tine to hit the' trail for temente,
each one feeling that this was one
of the pleasantest meetings the Hrd•
on .press had ever had.
Seme 'people may know all about
rand Bend but the writer, who
ticks pretty' ,closely to week, is not
t all familiar with suchgay wat-
ering places, a few short visits tc
Bayfield during the summer seasor
being about all we calx boast of, ane
we were' not aware that such an
interesting place ae the Okewooci
Golf Course existed. It is a private
enterprise, Messrs. C. 11?, W'alkor and
Scn having acquired the property,
built the: large log dying room or
lodge, with a number of cottagee
adjacent, the large len_,• dining room
and verandahs and laid out the golf'
course. During the summer seasee
many visitors take advantage of the
opportunity of having their own liv-
ing quarters while • enjoying hotel
ace./en/iodation aid the privileges of
bathing, golf, etc. Even. on sueh a'
day as Friday, 'which was nicgardly
of sunshine with a cold wind blowing,
the place looker" like an ideal spot
to spend a 'holiday.
The meetings evere held in a. high
raftered 'room, like an old colonial
hall, in w'h'ich a blazing fire roared
no a wide stone chimney. Ancether
fire was blazing in the dining room,
which is divided by glass doors frons
a glassed -in verandah which is also
used as a dining room. All the fur-
niture is of rustic manufacture, very
fitting for such surroundings and, al -
belt, also very ectnfortable, 'The

place. Preparations were • going on
for the building of another verandah

HOW OBSERVE IT?
Whatever is done nn November
11th, Canada's first Remembrance
Day," should be a cornu unity af-
fair, not sectional ,or denominational.
It should be snob n ceremonial as, all
may join in freely and whole-heart-
edly. If the veterans, as they are
the only arganizatic,n which is made
up of all classes and creeds, will map
out some mode of observing the an-
niversary eve believe that -the people
will enter into it with enthusiasm,
But we need leadership anti the vet-
erans seem to be the logical or-
ganization tri lead.
Just by way of a suggestion, how-
would
owwould it do to arrange for a public
gathering, for Clinton anis commune
ity, to be held, should the day prove
as fine as many clays we have "tad{'
recently, in the prstoffice square or
inr
Rec cation Park, where the grand
stand could be used to seat the peo-
ple? It might be understood that in
case of bad weather the gathering
Would be in the town hail,' -
In the afternoon of Nov. llth the'
Huron Ce'tnty Veterans go to Mew
ter, for a general celebration, acscnd-
ing to previous arrangement, but
theywill be here in the morning and
it is at eleven o'clock that this pub-
lic gathering should be held. On the
fii:at Remembrance Day to be exclus,
ively that, an effort should be made
to have a real and suitable c;rser-
vance. We feel sure the Ministerial
Association °will give hearty co-op-
eration.
