Dear Editor:—An ancient wiseacre said "thoughts are things" and the modern guy exclaims "Jess so," and there you are. So in world events there are limitations, distinctions and differences. Hence during the glori- ous sunshine days of the past autumn month, who thought of the three- day snow blizzard of last week, yet it materialized ? Considered geo- graphically it did good and harm to humanity. The Ontario farmer re- joiced regarding its kind service con- ducive to the betterment of fall ;wheat growing and fall plowing, while his co -laborer in Alberta and Saskatche- wan deplored it through the ruination off wheiit still remaining in the stook outside, Again our .own retired far- meps remained in -door and read and "kept the !tomes fires burning" and in present date lingo "Ditto" was our 'middld name. By way of digressions oli, the pity o' it , that the old Scotch farmer weather prophet of Chatsworth fail- ed in guessing the four foot snow blockade in Buffalo where ,the native Yankee tourists provide themselves with snowshoes, sloates and ski'ng outfits when visiting Toronto during July and August as his weather al- manac book would have been, among the best sellers. Speaking of snow storms, back in the early 80s, mentally observe this old timer one. The old Tory Chieftain, Sir John A. Macdonald, was a great story teller and joker. During his premiership a heavy fall of snow oc- curred one night and next day upon entering the Legislative Hall at Ot- tawa he was greeted by a. coterie of members of both shades of politics with "Hello, Sir John, a heavy fall of snow last night." In reply to the salu- tation, Sir John with a merry twinkle in his eye, laconically said, "Yes 1 It's sno' matter." Naturally the loud superlative degree laughter greeted the sally. The yGrit members present not wishing their political party to be jocularly outclassed, wanted their Chieftain, the Hon. Edward Blake, to emulate •Sir John's witticism, there- upon dispatched a deputation to inter- cept 'hint and give instruction in re- partee. In the vernacular of the day Mr. Blake's confreres did not gamble properly regarding . his staid de- meanor but instructed him along joc- ular lines, i.e. when we arrive in the hall where the members are awaiting the opening of the session we'll say, "Hello, Edward, a heavy fall of snow last night." They you'll reply, "Yes, it's 'Imperial' tome ' Tthe uninitiat- ed . o n ni itiat- eel the !jocular word "Imperial" was in the good old drays of drinking your boon companions under the table a special tipple of choice, cool drinking liquor. • Evefything went along as happily as the jingle of the marriage bells with the Grit catechists and at the proper moment greeted Edward with "'Hello, Edward, a 'heavy fall 'of snow last night;" Hold your breath and imagine the dismay and con- sternation of the would -'be jocular Grits when Mr. Blake replied, "Oh, it's immaterial to me," and passed into the Commons chamber. Needless to say the merry ha-ha was lacking. Both -great Ca'nad'ian statesmen are s heaven. So be it. ' _ The -Bible, Crippled Children and, Lions. Again our thoughts revert to the Lions Club and crippled children. 01 the latter that gem of, literature the Bible speaks in Genesis of "Penned; Who halted upon his thigh." In 2nd Samuel 44, And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame on both of his feet. He was five years , old, when the tidings gs came.of Saul and Jonathan out of jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled and it came to pass as she made haste to flee that he fell and became lame. His name 'was Mephi'bas'he•t'h." Further we read in Acts 3•-2, "And a certain roan lame, from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily et the' gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of them that entered into the temple," The above quotations depicts three instances of crippled children. grown to manhood, dependent upon charity. Had these crippled children. lived in Seaforth to -day the Lions Club would have brought to their aid the best obtainable surgical and .hospital treat- ment. thereby enabling them to be- come self-supporting Canadian citi- zens. We trow, the thought is not too far fetched. Dear reader, let your sympathetic donation • ft) little crippled children receive recognition through the inter- mediary source of the Seaforth Lions Club and receive their blessing, Do it now, while in the sympathetic vein. Hallowe'en is the last date. EDWARD THOMAS BURNS A sad death took place on Satur- day; October 25th, of a young ratan in his 29th year, Edward Thomas Burns, sat of the late William Burns, of Chepstowe, Bruce county.

Adana Holmes of Seaforth, was united in marriage to Mr. . James Pevitt of Guelph, son of Iv'rr, James - and the late Mrs. Pevitt of Warrington; Eng- land. The bride .entered the living room on the arm of her brother, Mr. Russel Holmes, to the strains of A1en- delssohn's wedding march played by Mr. Earl Van'Egmond, and took up her position under an erch of ever- greens and flowers. The bride looked charming in a gown of pervenche blue crepe trimmed with sand, and shoes and hose to match. The bridearnaid was Miss Nellie Holmes, cousin of the bride and was dressed in a gown of rase crepe. The groom was assisted by Mr. Orville Holmes, brother of the bride. The ceremony was per- formed by. Rev. Charles Malcolm of Egmondville. After a sumptuous wedding dinner the happy couple left Seeforth on the afternoon train for Guelph, where they will reside. Guests were present from Bayfield, Bruce field, Egmondville, Seaforth, Brus- sels and Blyth. TO TRY ROLLING ROADS Reeve Dr. P. L. Tye of Milverton, was the mover of a motion in Perth county council to try the experiment of rolling the Shakespeare -!Tavistock road this winter in place of snow- plowing. Dr. Tye said he did not think that the snow plow was alto- getherpractical. ractical His contention was that if the road were rolled everyd ea y> snow would not have the same chance to accumulate The snow would pack down and make a good road. when there came a'thaw it could be graded. In the spring it would be an easy matter to clean, the road off. The trouble with snow plows, he thought. was that high banks were formed on each side of the road. and the snow soon drifted in again. The roller had been tried on the streets of Milverton and had worked well. The motion was carried. If rolling makes the road passable for cars and at the same time leaves all the snow on the road for sleighs,. it may become popular.
