Goderich —Seaforth In Football Row A meeting of football officials and principals of Clinton, Wing - ham, Seaforth and Goderich is being held at Clinton at 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon to try to arrive at a solution of friction between the Goderich and Sea - forth football teams. Trouble which has been smoul- dering since the start of the sea- son flared into iinpleasantness at the game at Goderich on Thurs- day last which resulted in the game being called off by the of- ficials before completion. Principal L. P. Plumeteel said on Wednesday he had asked for a meeting in the hope of improv- ing relations between Goderich and Seaforth. Seaforth feels the fault is not entirely theirs, but so far had not been able to get the idea across to Goderich, If either Seaforth or Goderich drop out of the league, there would be only three teams left. In this way Clinton and Wing - ham have an interest in the un- fortunate situation, as a three team league would not be very satisfactory.

Legion To Attend( St. James' Church By Jack Holland Well comrades and friends there is some interesting news for all of us this time of year. But at present here's what the mail bag has brought up. .Last week at the presentation of scholarships at the S.D.H.S. our Legion president, Allan Nichol- son, presented Glenn Coutts with the Legion Scholarship, a pupil selected by the teaching staff. Congratulations Glenn and con - tinned success in your quest for higher education. The Hallowe'en masquerade and social held last Friday night was well attended and a real good time was had by , all. The Saturday night bingos are going strong and the fall weather will bring out even bigger crowds, Charlie Woods, our chairman for special events informs me that Friday and Saturday of this week will be "Poppy Days” for this year. Now "Poppy Day" has a special meaning all its own for all Legionaires and veterans alike. The main reason for "Pop- py Day" is that the memory of fallen comrades can best be hon- ored by making sure that none of the veterans still living shall be allowed to suffer want or dist- ress. This fund can be used for no other reason, a most worthy cause so let's all buy a poppy. There is no doubt but that the Poppy is the flower of Remem- brance, and by the way Charlie is looking for volunteers to help him on the Poppy Campaign, so let's give him a hand. There will be a church parade on Sunday, Nov. 5, members to meet at the Legion before 10.30 a.m. and proceed from there to St. James' for the religious ser- vice. Next week on Thursday night ur regular monthly meeting ekes place and since it is also omination night a real large urnout is expected, and of course ur Remembrance Day service ill be held on Sat. Nov. 11 and 11 members are requested to be t the Legion by 10 aan, More ewe on this next week: So you see comrades there is busy schedule in the offing and is up to us all to make these vents a success so in closing isnot forget the ones who made all this possible. At the going down of the sun nd in the morning we shall re - ember them.. P. S. Don't 'forget to buy a oppy. 0 t n t 0 IV a a n a it e le a m P d ANDREASSI—GLEW The United Church parsonage here was the scene of a mid -aut- umn wedding when Nancy Ann Glow of Seaforth, and Angelo Andreassi of Mitchell, were mar-. r Tied by Rev.
