SPONSOR FILMS The Tuckersmi:11 and McKillop Federation of Agriculture together with the Seaforth Women's Insti- tute is sponsoring a showing of films sent out by the National Film Board in the auditorium of Seaforth High School on the evening of Wednes- day, March 3rd, at 8:30 p.m. The general public of the eomm.uity and district are cordially invited to at- tend this -event. There will be no ad- mission charge but a silver collec- tion will be taken up in aid of the Canadian Appeal for Children Fund. The films to be shown are as fol- lows: The Feeling of Rejection feature fihn - 23 min.) The old platitude that 'The Child is father of the man" has gained new empha- sis through the studiesofpsycholo- gists and psychiatrists. Parents now understand that among the "rights" of children is the right of self-confi- dence. What may happen when it is denied by parents overzealous in "protecting" the child is shown in the film. The fear of disapproval, restraining a young woman from normal competition, is traced back to childhood where a mother's reit- erated "Don't do that, or else!" and a father'sfailure to share her sue cesses and explain away her fears, result in an insufficiency, that re- mains in adult life. Klee Wyck, .(colour - 20 minutes) The story of Emily Carr, a British Columbia artist. The marked effect of the high mountains, thick forests and native peoples of the. West Coast on the painting of Emily Carr are shown in representative paint- ings. While the camera recreates the stupendous wilderness, the gro- tesque totem poles, and coastal set- tlements of Indians, the comment- ary recalls the events of her life. The film is a sympathetic interpre- tation of an imaginative painter who followed mood rather than nature in creating her distinctive canvases. Hungry Minds, showing conditions in Europe. For Home and Country 1(8 min- utes.) showing the Women's Insti- tute Golden Jubilee at Guelph in I June, 1947. Local artists will entertain be- tween films. - DIED IN MICHIGAN Mr. and Mrs. John Nott, Egmond ville, received a phone call Sunday morning telling them of the death of their sister-in-law, widow of the late Lorenzo Williams, at Daster, Michigan, near Sault Ste.

Hl$TORY OF FIDELITY - LODGE, SEAFORTH � .... ..�..,.. .,�..•�.._.�..,-. ..-`f English China t The following interesting history in connection with Fidelity Lodge, 1.0.0.I'„furnished is by 3 CUPS AN Dr. F. Harburn, and is taken froan • "The �T �j Canadian Journal of Oddfel . SJ� 4.J �Li lowship," dated- 1874. On the 27th January, we had th pleasure, in company with a numbe of brethren from Stratford, Goder ich, Clinton, and other places, o assisting at the dedication of th new hall of Fidelity Lodge, Seaforth The dedicatory ceremony was per formed by P. G. M. Gibson, assiste by brother F. W. Johnson, of Go erich, as Grand Marshall, and Br 1. F. Toms, as Grand Warden. Th customary address on the principle and wa given lbyytthe editor' oft the Journal The dedication was followed by concert, Rev. T. .Goldsmith, of Sea - forth, occupying the chair. The at- tendance was very large, numbers being compelled to leave for want of room. The proceeds of the enter- tainment, we are informed, amount- ed to over $150. We may say that while the broom is of ample size for the requirements of the Order for many years to come, it is also one of the best furnished in the ,jurisdiction. The sofas and chairs are handsomely carved, and covered with scarlet morocco; a beautiful Brussels carp- et on the floor; handsome chande- liers; appropriate pictures; a room of which any city might be proud. At our request, the Secretary of the Building Committee, Bro. Jno Payne, has supplied us with the fol- lowing description of the building: "Fidelity Lodge, No. 55, was insti- tuted on the 8th of March, 1870, and up to the present time its pro- gress has been narked and rapid in every respect. With our increased membership we found that our old Hall was inadequate to our wants, and far from being up to the mark. Having considerable funds on hand and invested, it was suggested that we should secure as soon as possible. a suitable lot for building purposes. During the summer of '72, the lot whereon our new building now stands was put into the market; and at once secured for us at a cost of $562.50 for 100x30 feet. It is situ- ated on the corner of Main and Gouinlock streets, and in the centre of the business portion of the town. Having secured the-leei, said or the Brothers being of an ambitious and speculative turn of mind, thought it folly for us to allow it to remain idle; and after some financiering and considerable debating as to th practibility of otn' building, a corn mittee was appointed to report of the scheme. We found that, with th funds on hand, and what could b raised by issuing debentures of 820 each, bearing interest at 8 per to be taken up by members of cul Lodge, (a sufficient quantity of which was at once subscribed for)) in a i'ew years we would be able to wipe out ail our indebtedness, and have a building creditable to the Order and if possible an ornament to the town. Plans and specifications were drawn up by Ili'. ?,dant Gray, Builder and Architect, under the supervision of a building committee, -elected for the purpose of taking: fall control and management, Tend ers were at once advertised for; and that of Mr. Jaynes Walsh was accept- ed for the suns of45600 for the frill completion of said building. The building is 80 by 30 feet, and two stories 'ugh, cellar full size. and roofed a! cottage style, with fire wall extending the full length of the south side. It is built of white brick with pillasters which Project 4 inches from the face of wall and sunk two inches in the centre, moulded and cut capital, with a plinth course with bevelled top run- ning the full length, The windows are circular top and set on cut stone sills. The first story is fitted as a store 74x27 feet, to which we have added a frame. warehouse, 30 x 't4 feet, at a cost of one hundred dol- lars. It forms one of the best and most commodious stores in the coun- ty, and is occupied by Messrs. Lo- gan & Jamieson at $450 per annum, rent, Our Hall on the second floor is easily accessible by a stairway at the east end of the building and con- sists onsists of Lodge room, inner and outer anterooms and Encampment room. The Lodge room is 55 x 27 feet, with 15 feet ceiling, which in set off with a cornice. and a moulding which runs about 4 feet from the walls, and forms a semicircle over the chairs of the N.G., V.G., P.G., and Chaplain. The centre is orna- mented by 2 centrepieces from which are suspended our chandeliers. We have had the hall thoroughly fitted up at a cost of $785, and now it presents an appearance which far excels our most sanguine ex- pectations. On Monday, 8th Feb., it was. open to the public from 9 a,m. till 9 p.m., and was thronged with visitors both from town and country, all of whom expressed great admira- tion. Our regular meetings are held on Wednesday, and we shall he pleased to welcome any of our brethren in the Order who may find it convenient to call on us." e I We ( are le{j} aced tot r, p announce that we have received a large 1 i• % shipment of fine China cups and ) e 1 Saucers direct from England at L3 • very attractive prices S r- tut % e - i- inside assorted floral decorations God ( :u e� • $1.35 s g i Solid pastel colors in pink, blue, I green, ! en, cn la 1 canary o• n 1 r ,each I colors, a % with small Moral decoration at % $1.50 /FF I i f Other smart patterns in cups & iS i saucers ranging in .price 1.rom [ t,6e to 5.00.
