URGES A REST ROOM.:
To the Editor of The News,—
In reference to Rest Room .accom-
modlaition, I would say let os have one
possible as that is
on Main Street if. cos
'the. centre of the shopping area. Sea-
Stonth has had a wonderlful reputation
in the pastas a business centre, but
there is one thing that would' boost
their trade at the present time and
that is a well-appointed Rest Room.
That is a place where 'people coming
in from the country ;could waren
themselves before going home again.
There is a well -ap'poin'ted Rest Room
in 'Clinton and I can assure the people,
of Sehfort•h it is servings useful pur-
pose. If: Seaforth wishes some ofthe
business that really belongs to them,
then do not delay this, because a Rest
Room will make a good business .pro-
position. 'Waken up, Seaforth. Think
of the country's welfare and not let
the big fellow grab everything.
WELL WIIS'HER.
i

discussion on this important phase of
live stock production will be led by
the club shipper, Mr. C. M. McGregor
W. V. Jefferson of Tuckersmith will
speak from the subject, "Root Flog,
or Die." Mr, Jefferson will point out
the necessity of the farmer of to -day
making a close study of his activities,
if he is to meet with•a fair measure of
success.
Joseph Forrest of fhe12nd conces-
sion, will deliver his lecture, "My
Country." 'Mr. Forrest Will deal with
this comprehensive subject from the
staidploint of patriotic co-operation.
This programme' will be intersper-
sed with humorous and interesting ob-
servations and readings by our social

ties, industrious and highly respected
by hisneighborsand all who knew
him., He was a familiar figure in the
community, driving with his horse
and buggy, and even up- to this Aut-
umn he was able to get about in this
manner.' Mr: Oldfield took a great
deal .of pride .in the tall evergreens
surrounding his farm home, which
were plantedabout the year be was
born._ The funeral was held' on Wed-
nesday afternoon from his late home
