One closely connected with th business and social life of Seafortl passed away at noon at his ]honk on Thursday last in the person n JOIN JOYNT TROPHY, e W. Thompson, R. 1d: Sproat, t Sproat, Jos: McMillan (skip), went e to Lucicnow and played f ucknow for f the John Joynt trophy and won by, 22 \A?ilham Down Bright, aged 75 years. Deceased had, been in wiling health for the past two years, but his in- domitable will fought a brave fight un which he never yielded to the dis- ease, though 'a great sufferer, until a few days beforethe end. Ivir. Bright was born in Devonshire, England, and came to. Canada when 17 years of age. TIe came to Stratford, where he had an uncle living, and worked as a tailor, Inhis spare hours he learned to cut and devised a scheme of his own, which brought 'him rapidly to the. front as a tailor. After leaving Stratford, he worked for a time in Exeter as a cutter. Later Ile bought a business for him- self in Walkerton, About 1884 he came to Seaforth and joined the late Wm. 'Campbell inthe tailoring hbasi- ness. The business was conducted in the store now occupied by Chiefetz Bros. After one year Mr Bright bought out Mr. Campbell and short- ly after was joined by his brother in the 'firm of Bright Bros. About 20 years ago they removed to the pres- ent location in the Strong block and when Mr. Bright's brother, owing to poor health retired, he took his two sums into the firm which has since been known as W. D. Bright & Son, Mr. Bright was twice married, his first wife being Miss Robinson, whose two sons, R. E. and William, .of Sea - forth, survive. He later married Miss Doblc, who with the other rela- tives, have the deepest sympathy of the community. AL. Bright was closely connected with the Seaforth Methodist church, being leader of the choir for years and treasurer of the managing board. He was actively in- terested in' curling, and a prominent member of the Masonic Order, under whose auspices the funeral was con- ducted. The funeral was held from the 'Methodist church on, Saturday after- noon and was very largely attended, the store. being closed out of respect. The floral tributes were many. The services at the church were conducted by Rev, R. Fulton Irwin, assisted by a former pastor, Rev, E. \M• Erl- wards„ of Listowel. The pall bearers were Messrs. \Arm, Black, M.P., Wm, Hartry. J. If. Best, W. G. Willis, John Beattie and James Watson, Masonic hon, pallbearers, Messrs. C. Aherhart, A. D. Sutherland, O Neil, I G. ,\Totten, h, lfeLean, A. A, Me- T,ennan. YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE.

The Seaforth League provided the ,programme, af- ter which a very pleasant hour was spent socially. Next Tuesday even- ing a Dramatic Dialogue -Debate will be .presented by three hien, This is a debate dealing with both sides of the prohibition issue, and a cordial invita- tion is extended to all to attend. ANNUAL MEETING, The Seaforth Highlanders Baud held their annual meeting on Tues- day evening when the finances of the Band were discussed and a plan of advancement t napped out for the season of 1925. As part of this they are advertising for new members and it is the intention to purchase some new 'instruments. The, secretary's report showed .the past year hart been an active one, owing to the Re- union and a number of extra outside engagements, which compensated fur the smaller number of garden ,parties held, in town: A beginners class will be started immediately if enough new members take instruments, The energetic 'secretary -treasurer, Mr. Dalton Reid, received high com- mendation for the efficient manner i which he has conducted the business of the organization during his term of office and it as � f was decided to make the position of secretary a permanent one. Mr' . Wm, Freeman, who has ably conducted the Band the past several years, was unanimously, chosen to swing the baton again for the coming year, and to use it freely on the heads of tardy metnlbers. The matter of promptness in attendance at practice and concerts was greatly stressed. There Is one member, Mr. H. rC. Boz, who has not missed a single practice or engagement with the Band in two years, and it was hoped tate other members would make an effort 'to - follow -his example. The 'officers elected for .the coming year are as follows: Hon. President; M. McPhee; e Presid sat. E. L, Vice President, M. Rennie; See.- Treas., D, L. Reid; Cornu., H. C. Box, E. Smith, W. Parke;.

During the month of August the Provincial Highways Department placed men at certain points on the highways to count the number of ve- hicles passing and tabulate them in order to know what traffic each road wascalled upon to carry. It may P y seem strange that theCounty road from Seaforth- to Bayfield had a y a larger traffic than the Provincial road from Seaforth to Goderich but no doubt thehyo rk be' n t being a g 'do a at that time between Seaforth and Clinton diverted much traffic from the-1a,tter. It will be noticed that the traffic. both south and east of Seaforth has greatly 'increased since the tabulation in '1922.. Another feature is that as the townships are improving : the back roads much of the traffic is being di- verted to them instead of following the Provincial highways. PR'OVINCIAI, HIGHWAYS.

Electors of Seaforth, read the following: TESTIMONY O F A T \ G=REAT SURGEON The following interview with Dr. 'William J. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., the celebrated American surg- eon. is taken from the New Zealand Herald, "rhe first ,question put to me by most people in Auckland is "How are you getting on with prohibition in America`'" Anti then they smile,' said Dr. W. J. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., U.S.A., addressing the 'Auck- land Rotary Club recently. 'Now I am going to answer some of the questions put to me, "'There was first' said Dr: Mayo, Y. 'the pathetic story of the Scotsman domiciled in the United States and deprived of drinks. His brother was a marine officer and when his ship arrived in port, the two foregathered for a few drinks. Finally, the American -Scot, not quite inebriated, left the ship, carrying in his right hip pocket a bottle of whiskey. He was tacking across a road when a motor car ran himn. low He washelped to the pavement and informed that hie was injured in the right hip, Put- ting his hand to the place and feeling the sticky trickle, he prayed fervently, "My 'God, I hope pit's blood." Now if liquor is so rare that a man prefers physical injury to losing a bottle of whiskey," said Dr, Mayo, 'your may 'be sure Prohibition is not such a farce as it is often made out to be. II liquor is so common , so easily come by, you know as well as I do, that it would not sell for twenty 'dollars a quart. 'Since pro- hibition carne to America the chil- dren have been better dressed and better fed, You see whole families going to the ,cinema instead of only father sallying forth to the saloon at the corner,' FOR THE UNDER RDOG, "'You say Prohibition is a re- flection on our am moral o stamina, ' that everyone should not be prejudiced for a few that cannot control hem thselves. I can say 'Probkiition is not for those who can control themselves, but for those who can't who work so hard and still are .poor, who are not so intelligent. " soome Of your people have asked. ISSUE No. 42, Our Spectral . Watch $8,00 For a few days we are putting on sale a fully guaranteed 7 -jewel watch in nickel case, the popular price at $8.00. This is a special vah:e and the watch is so good we put our name on it as a mark of our guarantee and approval. 41; me whetheroState Control would not be better than' Prohibition in America. To that I reply that this is a moral question. When I was in Vancouver, leaving for New Zealand, I asked a resident how the government sales were prospering, "Oh, great' '"he replied, "we have sold $800,000 vvortlt in a month," "Do you find that more people are purchasing liquor tinder Government 'Control?" "Yes ," he replied, "you :see the fact' that the government conducts the wade gives it a sort of standing and a ` certain dignity." 'The United States,' con- tinued Dr; Mayo. 'will never submit to its government going into the liquor business,lending it a sort of standing.' Mayor Golding, of Seaforth, told the writer that during his years as Mayor there came no appeal to him or the Council. for relief where the need was caused by drink. What a change from the old days of the bar room and its miserable work. Are you going to vote the old conditions back again on October 23rd ? WHAT THE LONDON LIFE IN- SURANCE COMPANY SAYS • ABOUT PROHIBITION. The following is a copy of a letter to all Managers. Superintendents and Representatives of the Company, a copy being n8 sent to the local repre- sentative. e- sentative. Mr. J. D. Hinclhley, of. Seaforth.. Gentlemen: It is notoften that circumstances justify an institution in suggesting to the members of its staff considera- tions that would have a bearing upon their vote. The circumstances in this instance_are such, however, that those members of the Head 'Office staff, who in the course oftheir duties visit other 'provinces, are un- doubtedly in an exceptionally favor- able position to judge what are likely to be in Ontario the result of re- introducing the .sale of liquor. These members are unanimous in their opinion that conditions under the O. T, A. are infinitely better than conditions that develop where the e sale of liquor under any auspices is permitted. As a Life Insurance Com- pany also, ' it is pertinent to the question that all reliable statistics indicate most emphatically that the use of even a little liquor shortens life: and the more it is used the higher is the resulting mortality. We may supply the definite data on which this assertion is ,made at a later -date if it be found desirable to do so. An- other 'feature of the situation will be of interest to you. During the opera- tion of the Prohibition Acts we have been accepting risks as Standen" which showed a past history of ,more or less free use of liquor. A much more rigid selection of such risks will be made in all provinces where Prohibition Acts are defeated. There is a mass of information available for all who want facts which abso- lutely confirm the statements that in the Provinces adopting Government Control, bootlegging grows rapidly; legitimate business suffers tremend- ously and disorderliness noticeably increases. - Any financial'benefits,' and so far they are difficult to discover, are obtained at tremendous cost. It is our fixed opinion that if the O.T.A. is not .maintained in 'Ontario the re- sulting conditions will be many times \worse than those now existing. Fur- thermore, we are promised strong enforecment if there is a strong favorable majority, I have no hesi- tation in urging every one of you therefore not only to vote for thi• maintenance of the O.T.A,, brit that you will use your influeuce as widely as possible ;in support of the .present Act. Yours truly, ED. E, REID, General Manager.
