Raises $400 for Missions --
Mrs. Lindenfield Dies
The annual meeting' of, Carmel
Presbyterian Church on Monday ev-
ening was full of enthusiasm as the
various reports of the many societies
indicated that thepast ear had been
one of splendid effort which had
been rewarded with success. Follow-
ing a period of worship, Rev. Wm.
Weir was appointed chairman and
Mr. J. W. Bonthron secretary of the
meeting. The minister presented the
report of the session in which rever-
ent reference was made to the loss
sustained in the death of fourteen
membera and adherents during the
past year. The session also congrat-
ulated the various societies on the
splendid work accomplished during
1941 and while thanking the congre-
gation for contributing nearly $400
to missions, called for even further
effort in the new year. Later in the
meeting arrangements were made to
put forth a special effort- for mis-
sions. Reports were heard in turn
from the Women's Missionary Soc-
iety, the Ladies' Aid, the Arnold
Mission Circle, the Welfare of the
Youth Club, the Sunbeam Mission
Band and the Sabbath School. The
report of the congregational treas-
urer, Mr. Fred G. Bonthron, was
heard with interest as it revealed
that again all obligations had been
met in full and that the congregation
is free of debt. Mr. J. W. Bonthron
and Mr. P. Moir were re-elected to
the trustee board. Messrs. F. G.
Bonthron, M. Dougall and Archie

pointed Presbyterian Record secre-
tary and the ushers elected were

tions that arose out of the discussion.
The meeting was closed with the
singing of a hymn and prayer by
the minister.

MEMBER SPEAKS
Mr. W. H. Golding, M. P. for Hur-
on -Perth riding, spoke in the house
of commons last Thursday, Jan. 29th,
in the debate on the address in reply
to the governor general's speech.
Mr. Golding stated his position in
regard to a plebiscite that the gov-
ernment proposes to submit to the
people in regard to a release from
commitments made before the elec-
tion, during the election or since the
election,
"I want to state briefly but definite-
ly my position on this question," Mr.
Golding is reported in Hansard, "We'
have in the cabinet, I believe, eight f
hon. gentlemen who are veterans of,t
the last world war, some of whom
still carry the marks of the wounds
they suffered in that great conflict. b
Some of these hon. •gentlemen have c
badges which were given them for g
distinguished valour on the field of b
battle. Some of them have sons, as
many of the rest of lis have, in the s
army, in the navy or in the air force. p
I itTIONV WEI question has been con-, c
sidered, not just for a day but day
after day, by the Prime Minister (Mr. r
Mackenzie King), by those members
of the cabinet to whom I have refer- a
red, and by the other members of 1
the government as well. They have b
•come to a decision on what they be-
lieve to be the best course ender the d
circumstances, and 1 am prepared to a
accept their judgment." o
For the first time since 1918, Sea-
forth and district will go on daylight
saving time early next Sunday mor-
ning when the fast time goes into ef- •
fact all over Canada. Daylight say-
ing has never been popular in the,
rural districts as ib offers little or no
advantage for farm work and has
several disadvantages,
No word bad been received at. the
local C.N,R. station up to Wednesday
of expected changes in timetable on
this line, but it is likely that the
trains will continue to operate pretty
much as at present.

PLOWING MATCH NOTES
The voting of $3,500- by the Huron
County Council to the International
Plowing Match was the "go-ahead"
signal for the directors to begin
working at full speed. It shows that
the county is right behind them in
wanting to put this gigantic event
over in the very best way possible.
There are to be no half -measures.
The very fact that this is a war year
will make it harder but in the final
tally it will be responsible for great-
er credit to the directors.
On Tuesday, February 10, the dir-
ectors of the Huron Plowing Match
Committee will be present at the
King Edward Hotel in Toronto for
the annual meeting of the Ontario
Plowmen's Association. They will
bear a complete report on the 1941
International and will secure many
valuable ideas by "hob-nobbing" with
those men who have been responsible
in past years for staging the match.
The fact that Ontario is faced
witis a shortage of man -power on its
farms has been considered thorough-
ly by the Ontario Plowmen's Associ-
ation. Discussion of ways and means
to help relieve this situation will be
the key -note of the convention and
annual meeting. Of interest locally is
an address by Gordon McGavin of
Walton, vice-president of the Ontario
Plowmen in 1941 and in all probabil-
ity the forthcoming president of the
association who will report on his
trip with the Salada Tea Special
winners throughout Western Canada
and the United States last year.
Reception Committee
Warden George Armstrong of Hay
township is the chairman of the re.
ception committee. He became the
occupant of this position when he
was elected as warden of the County
of Huron. George is of the type to
represent the county.
Operator of a 150 -acre farm `it is
fortunate that a typical farmer has
been chosen to represent the pre-
dominantly agricultural county of
Huron. On the other hand the new
warden will find himself with a great
deal of work to do.' In addition to
operating his farm he will preside
over the Huron County Council. He
will also have to be the personifica-
tion of the theme, "Huron For Hos-
pitality," which has been selected as
the slogan for the International Plow-
ing Match.
The men who knoW Mr. Armstroag
feel certain that he will be able to
fill the position and satisfy the de-
mands on his time perfectly, •
While he will be the official host
for the match, all residents of the
county should also consider that they
bear the seine responsibility. This
will be the time and place for treat-,
ing life-long Impressions of true hos-
pitality in the minds of the Many
thousands of visitors who Will tome
to Huron on October 13, 14, 15, 16.
