"Mr. Williams, himself a son of the manse, was minister of First Church, Seaforth, from September 1944,. to May 1948. During his past- orate there the congregation made splendid progress. Me was especially earnest in promoting the Church's Missions so that First Church is among the largest contributors to the Church Budget. Many other ad- vances were made in the church's work. Earnest as a preacher, his affable disposition never failed to bring good cheer wherever he was. His fellow ministers and laymen of the Presbytery regret his loss to our church, but pray he may have a suc- cessful ministry in the American Church. P. A. Ferguson, Clerk," Prior to his departure from Sea - forth recently, Mr. Williams was also honored by the congregation of the church with farewell gifts and other marks of ,esteem.

Mrs. Hillebrecht was in the chair and opened the meeting with the ode and Lord's prayer •in unison. The roll call was answered with "How to postpone old age." The minutes of the previous meeting also the special meeting were read by the secretary, The treasurer's report showed a nice amount realized from the fah booth. A letter was read from the Guelph college stating that the sum of $19,- 000.00 has been collected in the Ad- elaide Heedless memorial fund. This money will be given in scholarships at the rate of $100.00 each to girls for a degree course in Home Econ- omics to those interested in this work. Anyone knowing a young girl thus inclined who would like to take this course is requested to contact an Institute member regarding same. It has been decided to hold the euchre and dances again this year as the Institute did last year, com- mencing the latter part of October. and holding one a month till spring. The meeting was then turned over to the health committee, Mrs. Dale Nixon and Mrs. James Brown. Mrs. Leeming gave the motto, "A merry heart doeth good like medic- ine," from Proverbs 17.22. She pointed out that the Hebrews real- ized the heart was the centre of all grief and sorrow and of joy and pleasure. As Mrs. Leeming quoted the following verse, "A broken heart drieth the bones," it is brought out to -us how great a thing a happy and contented heartis to all. Mrs. Henry Enzensberger then gave a summary. of some very prac- tical hints that all might benefit by in the home. With winter months just ahead the home .medicine chest should be checked over and four main itemsshould be on hand in every home: absorbent cotton, alco- hol, camphor oil and vicks. Mrs. Enzensberger stressed the dire re- sults ofgiving castor oil without a doctor's orders. It can cause a child's death so easily when given without specific orders. Throw out the castor oil bottle and In its place use a mild- er remedy such as milk of magnesia or mineral oil. Children with colds should be kept out of school. One child may have a .cold and., llaue'enough_antibodies to throw it off, but another may con- tract it .from the first with dire re- sults. Also when there •is any other communicable' disease in the family keep all children of that family home and don't spread it to others. It can cause death to be neglectful in this respect. Glass jars filled with hot water and wrapped in bath towels can take the place of hot water bottles in case of chill. Keep patients between woollen blankets, Current events wire prepared by Mrs. Paul Doig and read by Mrs. James Brown. The national anthem closed the meeting. Mrs. Gordon Papple moved a vote of thanks to the hostess andl speakers. A lovely lunch and social half hour brought the meeting to a close. ENGAGEMENT The engagement is announced of Dorothy A.

The parade of school children. from Victoria park to the fair grounds was led by the Seaforth Highlanders Band and the Woodham fife and dram band. Splendid weath- er helped bring out a crowd of around 3000 which enjoyed an after- noon of full entertainment at the grounds.

KEN DOIG TO PLAY HOCKEY IN SCOTLAND Kenneth Doig, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Doig, left by air on Thurs- day last for Scotland where he will play hockey this winter in the Scot- tish Ice Hockey League. This league is about the equivalent of Junior A hockey in Ontario, but there is no age Iimit. Kenneth, who is about nineteen years of age, played last year with Galt Junior B team. Around 120 Canadian players are expected to play in the Scottish League this winter. Harry O'Connor, of St. Columban, former player with St. Mike's Mid- gets, spent last winter in this , league in Scotland. A picture of twenty-one of the boys boarding an airliner at Malton appeared in a Toronto paper, with the following story: There were rumors of hockey; shanghai-ing and kidnapping at Malton airport today when Canada exported a whole planeload of hoc- key talent to Scotland. Everybody 1caught the plane for. Prestwick but Casey—two Caseys, the brothers Philip and Patrick, out of Prince Albert, Sask. 4'They've been in town for two days", Claude Kewley, Canadian re- presentative of the Scottish Ice Hockey League, lamented, as he shepherded two dozen players .to- ward the big airliner. "Could have been picked off by some other club since they arrived in Toronto," he conceded. "We've lost three or four boys in the last week," "Buffalo was talking to the Caseys," some person volunteered. "Or maybe the Leafs grabbed 'em". Pat Casey played in the Scottish league last winter, Bewley said, and apparently was happy, since he was taking his brother over for the com- ing season. In addition to the 24 players who departed from Malton, five others are to join the party at Montreal. They will be distributed among Dun- fermline, Falkirk, Paisley -Glasgow, Dundee, Ayr, Kirkcaldy and Perth. "It's an amateur league—players average about $40 a week," Kewley advised. "Of course, most of them get sidelines, such as part-time jobs. sharpening skates and that sort of thing boosts their income. Season starts Sept. 23 and runs to next May —longest in the world, as far as I know. In addition to playing in their own league, these kids will tour all over Europe." There are ' about 35 'holdovers from last season already in Scotland, according to Kewley. There are even a few Scots, he said, in the Scottish Ice Hockey league. ACCEPTS POSITION IN NEW BRUNSWICK.
