Follow- ing the business period, the meeting came 'to a close, ISEAFORTH BUSINESS MEN'S ASS!O'CIATION !Usually an association or organiza- tion •of'nien is for the purpose of onion in order to protect a common interest involving something ,slightly selfish in nature;, and the 'p'rotection thus secur-' ed is usually in some degree at the expense of the other fellow. This is not the case with Seaforth Business Men's Als'sociation, In fact such' organizations are not characteristic of Seaforth. We have a Service Glub in'Seaforth which has raised several thousands of dollars land spent them all, every dollar, for (beautifying certain' parts of the town. (notably Tourist park'an'd swimming pool), and for the 'curing of crippled. ch'ild'ren, for health clinics, for eye- sight clinics and various' similar en- terprises. Seaforth has always been a good town, always been, strong; on service. And now the idea of service is en- tering the business life of the town in a, marked manner. The Wednesday. half-holid'ay.s have 'been reduced from five months to three months in order that better service may be given. This is, the first actual effort of the associa- tion and gives an exact and definite line on the purpose and aim of the Business Men's Association. -Service. This ,association differs as widely from. the usual association as is pos- sible. Its aim is service to all con- cerned. A service 'that will merit the 'corUldence of all wihom it is privileged to meet. There is no thought of any ,direct protection to any member, or to the association as a whole. But the as$ociati'on does believe that the best protection they can have is the confi- dence o'E the putblic'in the district won and maintained by the finest and best service po'ssi'ble.. The Business Men's Association of Seaforth believe that by co-operation in merchandising they can make your dollar considerably increase its Buying polwer and this is the keynote of the hope and aim of this association. IWhiie it will take some little time to work out all the plans in prospect, we hope that 'the special':.D'oliar Sale of 21st and 213x4; of May will clearly de- monstrate the policy 'of the Se'a'forth Business Men's (Association which is a policy that will be of equal and mut- ual benefit to both town and country. SUSPENDED SENTENCE. In the early hours of Saturday morning Miss Anne 'Govenlock's home on North Marin street was en- tered for the third' time in recent weeks, entry :being, gained through a wind'o'w The main electric switch was pulled out. When the intruder pro- ceeded upstairs, with an electric torch, frightening 'Miss Goven'lock and her •cons,p'anion, Miss Watson, 'their screams wakened Mr. Thomas John- stone and family next door, but the culprit quickly escaped.' A young lad of town was taken into custody on Sunday and appeared be- fore Magistrate Reid at Goderich on Monday -hen he, was released after being given two years fn Reformatory, sentence suspended. umnisimmwmimmu Don't Miss DOLLAR DAYS SEAFORTH y Saturday,May 21st Monday, May 23rd Ever. in Store. r Big Bargains y S o e.
