SEAFORTH IN GROUP 5 ' Intermediate 0.H, A, Groupings announced this week include Group No, 5—Seaforth, _ Clinton RAF, God- erich Sky Harbor, Convener is J, E, Willis, meet at Seaforth, • In his interesting and informative address, Rev. Dr. Hurford dealt with the points of the Atlantic Charter. Tho Atlantic Charter issued by Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt in August, 1941: The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, representing His Maj- esty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known certain com- mon principles in the national polic- ies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world. I. First, their countries • seek no aggrandisement, territorial or other= wise. II, Second, they desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the people concerned. III:. Third, they respect the rights of all peoples to choose the form of. government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored to those wino have been forcibly de- prived of them, IV. Fourth, they will endeavor, with due reaopeet for their existing obliga- tions, to further the employment by all States, great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are needed for economic prosperity. V. Fifth, they desire to bring about. the fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic field with the object of securing for all improved labor standards, economic adjust- ment and social seturity. VI. Sixth, after the final destruction of the Nazi tyranny, they lobe to see ablished a nesse tivhich will afford to the nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own bound- aries, and which will afford assur- ance that all the men in all the lands may live out their lives in freedom from want and fear. VII. Seventh, such a .peace should, enable all men to traverse the high' seas .and oceans without hindrance, VIII. They believe that ' all the na- tions of the world, forrealistic as well as spiritual reasons, must come' to the abandonment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be maintained if land, sea or air arma- ments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggressionoutside of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and perma- nent system of general security, that i the, disarmament of such nations is essential. They will likewise aid and encourage all other practical meas- ures which will lighten for peace - loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments. Further discussing post-war prob- lems the speaker dealt with these references: Pope Pius' first point: "The assurance of all nations of their right to life and independence. The will of one nation to live must c never mean the, sentence of death 1 passed upon another' The Pope's fourth point: c "The real needs and just demandsof nations and populations and radial b minorities to be a.djueted as occasion may require, even where no strictly legal night can beestablished, and a foundation of mutual confidence to be .thus laid, whereby ,many incent- ives to violent action will be re MR: WATSON 11..PORTER Editor of the "Farmer's Advocate," who will address a banquet of the Lions Club in the form • of Rural Relationship Night on Monday, Dec - ,ember ?, in the Presbyterian Church, when each Lion brings one or more' farm friends as his guest. Mr. Porter will speak on his recent trip to Eng- land with a group of Canadian editors. COURT OF APPEAL DECLARES WILL VALID Ends Long Series of Litigation Over Seaforth Woman's Will The Ontario Court of Appeal on Tuesday, Dec. 1st, dismissed the ap- peal from the judgment of Judge T. M. Costello and directed that the last will and testament of the late Mary O'Reilly be admitted to pro- bate. The costs of the appeal were directed to be paid by the appellants, ' Thos. O'Reilly, Mary O'Reilly, Jos. Ryan and Francis J. Ryan. This decision ends a long series of litigation in which the will was at- tacked on the grounds that the testa- trix lacked testamentary capacity and that undue influence was exer- cised. Miss O'Reilly died in Seaforth on March 27th, 1941, and by her disputed will left the residue of her estate to St. James' Church, Sea- 2orth, after certain bequests to ne- phews and nieces. CLINTON MAN PURCHASES JAMES NOLAN FARM Mr. Clifford Levy of Clinton has purchased the James Nolan farm south of Egmondville and gets im- mediate possession of this fine prop- erty.

C. • Chamberlain real .estate office. Mr. and Mrs. Chris Schultz Have purchased through the office of E. C. Chamberlain the R. L. Thompson residence, situated on John street, and have taken possession. Mr. Schultz is an employee of John Boshart & Sons and was formerly of Zurich. SALVAGE BULLETIN Tuesday saw 1942's last local sal vage collection, when a good assort- ment of both salvage and rummage was brought in by the West Side Col- lectors, This was the 24th salvage collection sponsored by the Seaforth and District Salvage Corps since March of this year:; it was' the 18th local collection and the ninth West Side collection.

Watch this column for announce- ment of date. Canadian War Industries require almost 100,000 pounds of fats every day.

Housewives an assist by rendering all fats into ' vide -mouthed tins or bottles, and i raving them ready when salvage day omen around.

Your Friends and Neighbors, TAG DAY FOR BLIND TO BE HELD DEC. 5th A Tag Day in aid of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind will be held in Seaforth on Saturday, December 5th. Miss Mabel Turnbull and Miss Alice Daly, members of the Huron-Goderich advisory board, C.N. 1.B., are conveners. Taking Things for Gram,.. In a recent interview in Toronto, Colonel E. A. Baker, Managing -Dir- ector of The •Canadian National Insti- tute for the Blind, stated that one good effect of the war was to teach Canadians that it was a mistake to take too much for granted. "We never doubted," . he said, "that there would be apple supplies of sugar, rubber, tea, silk, oil and a dozen other things which are now either .impossible or difficltlt to ob- tain. Now we realize, that in order to maintain the privilege of enjoying those things, we have to protect the sources of supply. We did not do it, and now we know what shortage means." Colonel Baker was trying to illus- trate the importance of things to which not much attention is paid un- til something happens to them. He pointed out that there were close to thirteen thousand blind people in Canada and Newfoundland, and that experts agreed that between fifty and seventy-five per cent. of them would not have been blind if they had had the proper attention at the right time.
