COMMUNICATION Editor, Seaforth News In reply to a letter from Mr. Win,. D. Landsborough published in last week's Seaforth News, I would like to reiterate a statement credited, to me concerning Mr. M. J. Coldwell. As was stated in the advertisement sponsored by The Seaforth Young Progressive Conservative Assn., this man, who spoke from the floor of The House Of Commons prior to the recent war and said, "I am quite convinced of this, that a large num- ber of the,young men of this land will refuse to bear arms in a cause in which they feel they have no int- erest," is definitely President of the National Executive of the C.C.F. party. One Frank Scott, who Mr. Lands- borough claims to be President of their National Executive is actually chairman of that 11 man, policy- making body. Mr. Scott, a native Canadian now around 50, is a pro- fessor in the Faculty Of Law and on the payroll at McGill University. So far as is known he has had noprac- tical experience in dealing with the problems for which he professes to have all the solutions but has led a sheltered life in the cloistered halls of the University. I predict that within the next year or so certain "Ginger Groups" within the C.C.F. party will try to oust Mr. Frank Scott. An ironic touch when one considers that Frank Scott and his running mate David Lewis, in themselves ARE the C.C.F. The writer (Mr. Landsborough) also started that misleading refer- ence was made eoncerning,Mr. Cold well's son, who served in the Air, Force during the past war. Mr. Coldwell, as was stated previously,. said in a speech in Toronto, that his son said he would go to jail before enlisting, yet he joined the R,C.A.F. I leave it to you to determine who was misleading who. • Clare Westcott, Director of Or- ganization, Yount Progressive Con- servative Assn., Seaforth, Ontario. PICNICKED AT ST. MARYS' The Eastern Star held a picnic in St. Marys on Wednesday last with' the St. Marys lodge. Supper, games and races were enjoyed.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH This past week a light went out m the life of this community with the passing of Alex. Lillico; the vil- lage blacksmith. A' useful light went out when Alex's hands and mind were stilled. He will be miss, ed. No one can quite take his place in the village. He will be remem- bered for the example he set his fellow -man, of honesty, industry and a strong sense of responsibility to his community. One becomes so accustomed to .the habitual that a break in it immed- iately presents a void. The work of. the late Alex. Lillico was something' we perhaps took for granted and expected to continue for the rest of our lives. As a Personality Alex was unique. Never toobusy to stop for a chat, or swap a tale, his good humour never failed him. His bigness was that he saw life in little things. It was char- acteristic of him that we was cheer- ful 'til the day he died. 'He kept his chin up, planning for the. future. Such Scotsmen as this villa;;o blacksmith inspired Burns to philo- sophize: Princes and lords are but the breath of kings; an honest man's, the noblest work of God." A FELLOW VILLAGER. Egmondville, July '10th. HOW' THE TAX RATE IS MADE UP The following figures presented at .the tweeting of Seaforth town council.
