Mrs. Adams had been in poor health for the past four months and had, only recently gone to Wel- land. She -was in her seventieth year and was born in Tuckersmith, her maiden name being Mary Wheatley. She was married Nov. 13th, 1901, at her parents' home, lot 1, con. 9, Hallett, and since her marriage she had lived at lot 35, con. 5, McEiilop.

It' is anticipated that winter sports too will be provided and it is hoped to extend the activities to include oth- er sports in the future. President, Dr, P. L. Brady (Leg- ion Vice Pres.); secretary, Geo. Hays ((chairman Special Events com- mittee) ; sports officer, Fred Willis. As a result of a questionaire submitted to the local schools 54, names were received of those int- erested in softball. It was therefore believed that it would be possible to form a four -team league, from Sea- forth, Egmondville and the sur- rounding country. With this in view the following were ebosen as mana- gers and coaches: W. H. Finnigan, manager; Geo. Kruse, coach. Angus McLean, ma- nager, Bill O'Shea, coach. Jim Southgate, manager; -Frank Lee, coach. Tom Sills, manager; Bill Smith, coach. The executive of the league is to be composed of the president, sec- retary, sports officer and each team manager. The following rules were discuss- ed and approved. Rules 1. Players eligible to play: if un- der 17 years of age as at 1 May: if residing in Seaforth Branch 156 of the Canadian Legion area, or if at- tending Seaforth schools; when a signed Legion sports application form is accepted by the executive. 2. Teams limited to 15 players on each team. Team roster to be in the hands of the executive by May 15, 3. Trading between teams may be' arranged on approval of executive. Last trading date to be 30 days af- ter the opening league game, 4. Regulation softball rules to govern play. (a) For minor offenses managers or coaches may suspend members of their team for one lea- gue game. Further penalties sugg- ested will be dealt with by executive. •(b' Umpires and official scorers ap- pointed by the executive to have full control of the game on the grounds. 1(c) Players guilty of unsportsman- like conduct niay be suspended by the executive. 5. The executive will act on any WRITTEN complaint sent to the league president within 48 hours of the occurrence of dissatisfaction. 6. Decision of the league execu- tive is final. 7. Equipment supplied by the sponsors must be given proper care and returned to team manager or coach after use. It is hoped that this initial at- tempt of the Legion with organized sports will prove successful and that further sports programs may be arranged. Plans for the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal to be launched on Monday are now complete, accord- ing to James M. Scott of Scott's Poultry Farms, chairman of the Ar- my's annual appeal' Mr. E. C. Chamberlain is acting as campaign treasurer and all dona- tions may 'be left at his office. Also assisting in the 'business canvass will be J. A. Westcott, R. Kerslake, C. Reith, J. Stewart, G. McGonigle, A. Sillery, Dalton Reid, A. Wright. The Egmondville district is to be under the direction of H. Finnigan and A. C. Routledge. The Tucker- smith and McKillop districts are also being organized and further 'devel- opments will be announced. Appeals for help being made to the Salvation Army in Canada have never before been so multiplied or so urgent, says Lieut. E. J. Ivany. The national objective of $1,110,000 will meet maintenance purposes and expansion of services. During the past year the 88 hospitals, hostels and institutions throughout Canada were filled beyond capacity and the work has to continue. All citizens in the Seaforth dist- rict are urged to contribute gener- ously and to have their donation ready when the canvassers call.
