OBSERVING HOLY WEEK The Editor, The News -Record, Dear Sir: At the regular monthly rnecting of the Clinton and District Ministerial Association, held on Monday 30th March, I was requested as chairman of the association, to suggest through the courtesy of your columns to the people of this community, that they shouldrefrain from attending public dances during Holy Week, and also that organization should refrain from attending public dances during Holy Week, and also that organizations should refrain from holding dances this week from year to year. Tho members of the Ministerial Association felt, that whed we consid er that the days of this' week com- memorate the events of the last week of our Lord's earthly life, He. Who was the Son of God ,and Who is our Redeemer and Saviour, that the people of tire. community would be glad to observe the week as suggest ed. We would hope that this would be - cone the custom, every year. On behalf of the Clinton. and Dis- trict Ministerial Association, Yours sincerely, JOHN GRAHAM, president.

V News From International George Reagan is ii charge of traffic at the International Plowing Match to be held in Huron county on October 13, 14, 15, and 16. That may sound like an easy job at first glance but don't let it fol you. The people who attend the match will conte in thousands of cars. These cars must be parked neatly in vast parking lots where their owners can get out at any time during the day with as much ease as possible. In addition, the revenue from the sale of parking tickets is the only revenue during the match for the Huron Coun- ty Plowing Match committee. Traffic must be kept moving at a proper .speed so as not to congest at any spot, It must also be kept ni.ov- ing to avoid the possibilities of acci- dents. In addition to that traffic must be kept away from the tented city and reservations made for those ears owned by •ones -who are in charge of the match as well as the men who are working in the various exhibits. It all . adds up. to .one of. the hardest problems yon could possibly imagine. Traffic police will be delegated from all parts of the province to aasist in the work. However the whole thing must be 'tapped out, Parking areas must be placed where they can . be of the most service George Reagan has same real prob- lems on his• kande. George will look. after then however. A dairy farther' who lives near the edge of Goderich, he is used to problems. To keep a, modern dairy herd in production and to cope with the present day problems which restrictions and subsidies and all the other matters present takes some level headed thinking. George is a man who believes in having a plan of action before he starts into a job. He was like that in the township council. He carried: the same plan into. the county council and the Warden's chair for the !county of Huron. It won him 'a place on var- ious committees and later he was ap- pointed as inspector for the Huron county home. Faced with the work of one of the most important commtiteeg of the whole Huron county .plowing match executive he ie quite 'calm about the whole thing. He finds no reason to get flustered. He doesn't about his own . problems so why should heover the International? He -knows that this year's International will be the best in the history 'of the Ontario Plowmen's Association; and that he'll do, his share towards-m•aking'it such. ' HAYFIELD An informal gathering was held on Saturday 'evening, March 28th, to present gifts to three soldiers home for the weekend, at which neighbors, friends, and relatives rallied together for an evening of fun. Music for the evening was supplied . by Mrs. Jack Parker, Miss Jacqueline Parker, Miss Monica Graham, Mr. George Weston, Miss Helen, Stergeon, Mr. Buster Clarke, and Mr. Carl Houston. Before the social hour, Mrs. Gaird- ner, read a very splendid letter of thanks from. Mr. James Dewar, S.B. A. from Halifax, who was one of the soldiers honored a few weeks ago, in which he expressed thanks for the woollen comforts, and also the pen and. pencil set,whidh he said was do- ing double service. Jimmie is an as- sistant in the Navy Hospital at Hali- fax, where so many sailors are brought in from torpedoed vessels. The three guests of the evening Were then called to the platform, and Mrs. Gairdner, read the following ads dress: "We meet tonight in this happy in- formal way for the seventh time to do honour to three more distinguish- ed sons of Bayfield, who have respon- ded. to the Pall of the Empire and have taken their personal stand. We owe a debt of gratitude to all sold- iers, sailors and airmen; but when we learn that another name it to be added to Bayfieid's Roll of Honour we like to single them out in a spec- ial way such as this gathering tonight when we meet to etxend the hand of friendship as a symbol of our pride and honour, We have a personal interest in you but you know that, because you have come a long' way to be with us to- night, back to Bayfield and to the hones where you live. I hope this special lratrouring won't make you vain. Some people live in vain; but there was only one man in history who didn't lose his head by being lionized -and that was a man in the Bible named Daniel. We do miss and will miss seeing you in Bayfield -but we want you to know that we will follow your careers as you go to your tasks during these trying days- nowing full well that each of you will serve and play your part in this Game of War in whatever niche it lies. So now we add John MacLeod's. name as our third sailor lad, Bertram, Carney and Eugene Castle to our list of those serving in the army, making a total of fourteen.
