SENT FROM IRELAND Mr, and Mrs. Frank Sills ou Mon- day.�+hOSBII ByAcclamation As, received a, genuine Irish shillelah , from their son Frank Sills Jr„ who is Member for South Huron.— Meeting uron.Meeting End of December Word has just been received that Mr. Ernie Clarke of Seaforth, has been elected by acclamation as mem- bey of the Ontario Older Boys' Par- liament for the riding of South Hu- ron. The Ontario Older Boys Parlia- ment meets this year at Kitchener from, December 27 to 81. It is com- posed of members elected from Tux- is Groups and Registered Organized Sunday ,School Classes throughout Ontario. Where there is more than � one nominee in an electoral district, an election is held in the same way as in a provincial election. Ernie Clarke, who has just been elected I. for South Huron, is a member of the Tuxis Group of Northside United Church. After the Older Boys' Parliament assembles, a Premier and a Leader of the Opposition are selected. The Premier chooses his cabinet from the members elected. Problems con- fronting boys of today are dealt with and discussed in Parliamentary fash- ion. Members of the Provincial Leg- islature lend a keen ear to the delib- erations of these Older Boys of On- tario, and on many occasions have used the ideas brought forth -by the members of the Ontario Older Boys Parliament. Ernie is a son of Mr. and Mr's. Mel, Clarke. • COAL PICTURE WILL BE SHOWN SOON - The smart moving picture with commentary, "Champion Coal," which was shown in September to enthusiastic members of the Lions Club is corning again to Seaforth and will be shown at the Tuxis Concert in Northside United Church on the evening of Monday, Nov. 29th. "Champion Coal". vividly shows the. historic beginnings to the time it is loaded onto freight cars enroute to your coal bin. You will see how the coal is mined, the life of the coal miners in the pits; the giant cranes that lift five tons of coal at a time. In addition to this picture there will be a novel and interesting puppet show, which•will be given lay some of. the pupils of the Public School. Bet- ween numbers will be a smart array of local talent and the evening will end with the sound -movie picture, "Snow -Thrills." 50 per cent of the net proceeds of this concert will be used for overseas boxes. NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY ISSUED Tosave paper and type metal in wartime, important changes have been made in the arrangement of the new telephone directory for Seaforth and vicinity, which is now being dis- tributed. For example, the list of long dis- tance rates to points most frequently called is now to be found on the in- side front cover, and instructions on how to use long distance service are on the inside back cover. All marg- inal advertisements are being remov- ed from the top and bottom of pages in the alphabetical section. By means of changes such as these applied to telephone directories for allthe exchanges, the Bell Telephone Company expects to save 360 tons of paper a year for war purposes. In view of the large number of new and changed listings in the new directory, it is important to discard the old book promptly on receipt of the new one. Subscribers are being asked to contribute their old direc- tories to the regular salvage collec- tion, for paper has now returned to the list of badly -needed salvage ar- ticles, Consulting the new directory care- fully before placing calls will help to eliminate unnecessary calls and will reduce the "wrong number" nui- sane considerably. Another request which is being emphasized because of war condi- tions is that subscribers who are moving should take their telephone books. with them, instead of asking for another at the new residence.

Weekly Salvage Bulletin Snowy weather did not deter then East Side Collectors on Tuesday af- ternoon and a fair amount of salvage was brought in from the East Side of Seaforth and Egmondville. In the evening a group of sorters arrived from Egmondville United Church and the salvage was soon ready for the shipping. )tags, particularly of cotton, are required in ever-increasing quanti- ties. They are desired for wipers for the Armed Forces and War Industry and the Department points out that old cotton shirts, underwear, cotton aprons and dresses, cotton sheets and curtains and other cotton articles reasonably large in size will fill the requirements nicely. Canada supplies only a small percentage of,its wiping i•ags and is dependent for the bal- ance on the import market, and it is difficult to procure these raga at the present tune. Consequently, it is doubly urgent that Canadian house• holders salvage their cast-off wearing materiels, particularly cotton.
