SEAFORTH LIONS MILK FUND
'ihe Seaforth Lions Club is now
supplying 76 children with a very
ntuclt needed daily bottle of milk.
The purpose behind this scheme is to
buikl up resistance to disease rather
than he compelled at a later date to
correct the results of mal -nutrition
the child or children.
is former years the Lions were able
to finance this supply of milk without
any outside appeal. With each year.
however, the Club has witnessed an
increased demand and owing to the
other costly activities of the Club such
as the swimming pool, crippled child-
ren's work and glasses for defective
vision, it is necessary to adopt some
method of raising funds .in order to
continue the supply of milk to child-
ren Who would otherwise lack .this
very necessary part of their 'daily
food.
The local ne'u'spapers have very
kindly 'donated space each week for,
the Lion Milk Fund and the club feel
very confident that the people of Sea -
for* anti vicinity who so generously
respond to every good cause will res-
pond to this 'appeal and enable the
Lions to supply every needy child
with its daily supply of milk. Any
amount, large or small, will greatly
helip and will be .acknowledged each
week in this column, Donations will
be received and subscription lists
posted at the Canadian Bank of Com-
merce, the Dominion .Bank, the Prov-
ince. of Ontario Savings Office, the
iHttron Expositor and the Seaforth
News; or any Psion will receive your
subscription and see that it is acknow-
ledged in regular order,

RE THE RECENT
RAILROAD ACCIDENT
---
To the Editor The Seaforth News.
.
Dear Sir---tlust a .little -explanation
as 1 have seen and heard. in the first
place'1 cannot understand Trow 'Frank
was negligent at this crossing', as Inc
has had a chau'ffeur's license for -well
onto ten years and has driven the
truck continuously for past four years
and has never touched another ve-
hicie or anything on ,the highways to
my knowledge. •
'1 have been told so often that
Frank was a careful driver. Even the
day of the accident, although he was
behind time, it has been proven he
did not drive beyond 30 miles Per
hour, which 1 believe helped contrib-
ute to the accident as the train carte
from behind at 1115 miles per hour and
Ile would oat be able to see it until it
rounded the curve near the highway.
And the whistle on those tDiesel en-
gines do not carry like a .steam
whistle.
In the car directly behind were Mr.
and Mrs. Fell. .Mr. Tell heard the
whistle but Mistook it at first for a car
horn until he happened to look out
the window and saw the train. Mrs.
Feil did not hear the whistle at all. No
one heard the hell, which the engin-
eer claimed Was ringing.
I fee that I should make this es -
planation on behalf of my sou Frank.
The C.N,R. is a big corporation; they
were well represented at bite inquest,
Frank was not able to defend himself,
but we hope that he will be able to
give his version some day, and for this
we will be thankful.
Thishiv, is the third fatality at this
crossing in two years, The people on
both sides of this crossing and the
people who travel the highway say it
is dangerous, and still if a truck hits
the trait it is the truck's fault; if the
train hits a truck it is still the truck's
fault. .-\till there are a good 1115113
times the number of people travel rip
the highways than trace] onthe rail-
road, We .pay plenty laze.: to use and
keep tip the highway and the goVertr
meat. 'Anil the government subsidizes
the railroad. You figure it ow.
