A nine-year-old Seaforth young

that tobacco :smoking has bad .after
effects. Our young friend got 'hold
of •his daddy's pipe and tobacco and
proceeded to enjoy himself according
to the most approved fashion pictured
in the tobacco advertisements. Then,
we presume, he carefully put back
the pipe where he got It ,and went
about his business. •But a little bird
in the Form of tell-tale aroma in the
house told mama what had been going
on, and now one youngster is greatly
impressed that .tobacco smoking pro-
duces a painful warns feeling in a
part of the anatomy least expected.

The fatal accident which caused
the instant death of Arthur • Laidlarw,
23 -year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dav-
id Laidlaw of Cupar, Sask., on Fri-

of three per .cent, or three feet every
hundred, and into it the river will be
diverted and • an electric power house
built at the lower end. 'On Fridlay
morning Arthur had just taken a load
of workmen' •into the tunnel on the
train and was returning with a •load
of rack, when. a 500 pound stone fell

:this kind is very_ unusual as large
rocks that are loosened in the blast-
ing are discovered and removed- by
the workmen wtbo test the surface for
lease rocks, 'wh'ich is known as
"scaling."
Mr. Laidlaw had been at Masson
for eight months. During the past
two years he had been engaged in
somewhat similar work at 1Flin Flon,
:Manitoba, and from there he went
with a .friend, Mr. Prank Wright, to

a big tunnel was bored far a power
development under construction, and
from there they (went to Masson.
(Arthur Laidlaw was born at Fort
{William, Ont„ and since then lived a
few years at Swift Current and the
past 15 years at Cupar, Sask. To Mr.
and Mrs. Laidlaw and family the
sympathy of the community is ex-
tended in their so'd'den and sad ber-
eavement. ;lour brothers and two sis-
ters survive, together .with the. par-
ents: George, at Swift Current, Sask.;
Wilfred, (H'aro'ld and David and Mary
Ellen, at Cupar, Sask., and Agnes,
nurse, in ,General Hospital, Winnipeg.

deceased, had been in Seaforth nearly
all winter, and went a couple of weeks
ago in company with his cousin, Geo.
(Smith of Hullett, for a few days' visit
,with Arthur, leaving there just about
a week before the accident occurred.
The work there will be finished in
May, when Arthur intended coating
to Seaforth for a visit before return-
ing home to the West.

we were responsible far developing a
Christ -like character that will radiate
in our faces. 'In a very beautiful way
we can renew our youth and succeed

the youth of today, she said. She said
that every young woman needs the
friendship of an older woman and'
just as !Huth does every older woman
need the friendship of a young woman.
The future of the youth in our church
will be just what we, who are older
make it, she stated. She said that we
talk- much of investments, but that
there was no investment that paid
such large, such lasting dividends as
that invested in young life. "How
much time, love and prayer,, have you
been investing?" she asked. She said
that lack of leadership does not mean,
lack of ability, but rather a lack of
consecration: If the young people are
to be saved, she said, we must spend
ourselves. She quoted Dr. Stanley
Tones as saying that the 'happiest
peapi?; in the world today are those
who are giving and sacrificing for
others; the unhappiest those who are
just trying to have a good time. She
said that if women waisted real lasting
thrills let them link t'heinselves up
with the Kingdon o!f God inovenrent.
She said that it will not 'OOIS'T but it
will pay. We will live on and on if
•we unload the treasures of our live's
into the lives of the youth. 'Slue urged
all to remember that nothing is• not
great with God and that nothing is
great without God. If we .want oeople
to think we are true we must be 'true:
Youth today needs a little less criti-
cism and a little,moreexample. She
said that one quality a leader required
was tact and delfined it as 'something
that if you ain't got it everybody
knows it—bat if you have got it no-
body 'notices,. it," She said le} us .ac-
ceptthe challenge that"youth brings
tis, and train then for the work of
the church.'
