A post -nuptial party in honor of
Mr. and Mrs. George Kruse, who
were recently married, was held at
the Bayfield pavilion on Thursday
evening, Over 200 friends of Sea -
forth, Egmondville and surrounding
district were present, Throughout
the evening dancing to music of
Murdoch's orchestra was enjoyed. An
address to Mr. and Mrs, Kruse was
read by Edwin Chesney and a purse
of money was presented by James
Hughes. Mr. Kruse replied express-
ing their appreciation.

Dear .Neil and Dorothy—A few of

like getting together and doing
something to convince you that even

our local papers under the heading,
"Local boy makes good." With these
few words we ask you both to ace

GASOLINE RESTRICTIONS
NOW IN EFFECT
Restrietions forbidding the sale of
gasoline from 7 p.m, to 7 a.m. and on
Sundays went into effect Monday
evening. Locally there was no rush
of last minute purchasers of gaso-
line and most people seem to accept
the regulations as making very little
inconvenience to them, and It is for
a good cause.
A farmer thought some arrange-
ment should be made so farmers
could fill up with gas on Saturday
nights, as many farmers are seldom
in town any other time in the busy
500500,
One comment was to the effect
that it is a pity similar :restriction
do not apply to Mr. Hepburn's "Ril-
ing stations." On the other hand
there is a man who gives solemn as-
surance that his car will run on the
stuff.
A local dealer sees a bright spot
in the restrictions. It 'will put an end
to being called out of bed in the
middle of the night to supply some-
body with maybe a couple of quarts
of gasoline—when as often as not
they say, "Pay you on Saturday."

DOG DAZE
Fido wiggled his tail, sat down
and scratched his ear. "This is the
time of year they call the dog
days, isn't it?" he seemed to ask.
"Some of the city papers are
hounding the cats," he went on.
"But 1 guess that is appropriate for
the dog days."
"Well, I chase a eat once 'in a
while myself, it's good fun, What
makes me sore is someone comes
along, who never owned a cat and
bis place is likely overrun with
nice i bet, and this guy says cats
are bad, because they eat birds.
Welt; don't humans eat birds?
Ducks are birds, aren't they? and
geese? and 1 am sure my boss said
the other day some fellow was
going to eat crow!"
Fido gazed up earnestly, almost
pleadingly. "Will you tell those
people who are abusing cats," he
said, "that I have a young cat
friend here in Seaforth who has
caught more than fifty field mice
outdoors since early spring this
year. Since the first of July to my
doggone certain knowledge she has
caught and eaten fourteen field
mice. How do I know? She brings
the mice to the back doorstep and
there is always a bit of the luck-
less mouse's innards, about the
size of a dime, left for nee.
"As far as 1 )prow, this pussy
has caught only one bird this year.
"Just think how quickly our
fields and homes would swarm
with mice and rats if it weren't for
our cats who work faithfully night
and Clay to rid our country of these

are doing, and hats off to them, I.
