CIVIC' HOLIDAY ON
MONDAY,. AUG. 6TH.
Mayor Golding has 'issued the fo
lowing statement on Seafor''th's Civi
Holiday. It will be held next Mo
day, Aug, 6th,, following the costo
of other years of having it,
vonthe fi
g
Monday in August.
To the Editor of the News.
Dear Sir: In view of the troubl
that has arisen with regard to Civi
Holiday and. the many differet
stories that have been circulated as t
my action in the matter, I feel th
aa. explanation from me might help•t
show the people the situation as i
really stood.
In the first place I have been chug
ed .with taking the authority of issu
ing • this proclamation entirely upo
rnyself, but that is not true. In 1921
the matter of Civic Holiday wa
brought before the members of th
council and fully discussed, and i
was: mutually agreed •that, for th
citizens in general, Monday was th
most acceptable day for this holida
and they also proposed that we adop
the same plan that practically al
"towns' and cities ha •adopted,
i to that is
to observe the first Monday in Augus
of each year as Civic Holiday.
The members of the council fel
this would be a most satisfactory
plan to follow, saving a lot of trouble
each ear and the therefore
y y, gave me
authority to issue the proclamation
for that day. In 1922, the matter was
brought up again and the council told
me I had the authority to act as I
had done the previous year. This
year it was intended to follow the
same course, but before the proclam-
ation was issued, the Fire Brigade
had a meeting to discuss this matter
and they sent a representative to me
to ask that some other day be pro-
claimed, as the 6th of Aug. preceded
the two days the firemen would have
to he in Burlington, and there were
two or three members of the brigade
who felt they could not be away front
business three days in succession. He
also said it had been suggested at
their meeting that thefollowing Mon-
day would be quite satisfactory. There
waass...�ttio .mention then for Wednesday
as outlined in the petition afterwards
received, and had there been, it
would have been another natter en-
tirely, But for Aug. 13th, one week
after every other town had observed.
their holiday,.seemed most unreason-
able; more especially so, when Mit-
chell was having their Old Boys' Re-
union from the 4th to, the 9th. Quite
a number of citizens had spoken to
me in view of this and hoped we
would hold our holiday on the 6th so
they could celebrate in Mitchell. Con-
sidering the request of these citizens
and the voice of the council, as al-
ready outlined, what would any' of the
men, whose names appear on the peti-
tion, have done under the same cir-
ctunstances? I see in the list the
names of several business nien who
told me 1 had taken the proper stand,
in this matter, not 48 hoods before the
petition, was placed in my hands. How
can a person hope to satisfy citizens
like that?'
In all matters of this kind, I have
always tried to be fair to the business
men and also the citizens in general;
I have always endeavored to give
both the Band and Fire Brigade my
moral and financial support, but- if
the services I have giventothe best
of my' ability,' have not been satisfac-
tory, it is perhaps better that I have
tried and failed, , than not to have
tried at all,
I have also a petition in my hands,
signed by some 176 of our citizens
asking that the holiday stand as' has
been proclaimed. In deciding the
matter, it seemed only fair to follow
the precedent established by my pre-
decessor, who was in the same posi-
tion as` I was, and that was to con-
sider the petitioncontaining
the
greater number of ' names. I could
not be expected to do otherwise, so
our Civic Holiday will be observed
Aug. 6th,
Respectfully,
W. H. GOLDING.`

The e pcrition received first by the
Mayor was signed by 73 names and
ten G,W.V.A. It read as follows:
First Petition. •
"Believing that the best interests of
the Band, Firemen and citizens gen-
erally, for the good of the proposed
Old Boys' Re -union, 1924, would be
best served by holding Wednesday,
August 8th, as Civic Holiday, instead
of Monday, August 6th, as propose&.
we, the undersigned business men of
Seaforth, petition your worshipto
have said date changed from August
6th to August 8th. We beg to point out that Seaforth
is making a special effort to secure
the Firemen's Convention for 1924,
and to do this, as good a representa-
tion as possible of Band and Firemen
at Burlington is necessary, - It is
manifestly impossible for individuals,.
largely .business men to observe Mon-
day as a holiday and then lose two
days besides. We also wish to point
out that the business supply men
cannot possibly close their places of
business for the Monday without un-
due trouble to themselves.
A canvass of the members of the
two town organizations 'has shown
that too large a percentage must re-
main at home, if the holiday is held
on the 6th, to make a decent showing
at Burlington, and .therefore' as it is
to our interests and citizens generally.
to make the 1924 Old Bbys Re -union
as great a success as formerly, we
would ask you to give our petition
every consideration." ;
Second Petitid`n.
The second petition has 176 names
attached. It is interesting to note
that some parties have signed their
s" -both
`John Henry' to p eti tionst
ns o
"We, the undersigned citiz c f
Seaforth, have appreciated very match
indeed the effort that you and the
members of your Council have made
during your term of office to hold
Civic Holiday on the day that prac-
tically every town, in this part of the
province have. adopted, and which
they have decided Civic Holiday
should be held, namely, the fidst
Monday in August.
"To the great mass of citizens this
day has proven acceptable as it gives
a splendid opportunity to visit friends
of other towns with the knowledge
that they will be having a holiday as
well as Seaforth We regret very
much that an effort is being made to
change this system, and especially do
we regret that this effort is being
.made by citizens who are enjoying
for 5 -months a holiday that the great
majority of workmen cannot -partici-
pate in. We are not convinced that
the- holding of this holiday on the
dates set will have the disastrous ef-
fect that is outlined in the petition
which you have now in your posses-
sion, and in view of this fact we
humbly petition you and your council
to hold the holiday on the day that
you have proclaimed, namely August
fith, 1923."

STRATFORD LADIES WIN.
A rink of touring Lady Bowlers
from Stratford, comprised of Mrs.
Dingman, Mrs. McKay, Mrs. Smith,
and Mrs. Howie (skip), stormed the
Seaforth green on Saturday evening,
and challenging;a local premier quar-
tette of Men trundlers,' carried away
the honors of the evening by a maj-
ority of three, shots.
The consistent bowling on the visit-
ors'part, together with their barrage
of color and an adverse gallery of -in-
lookers, finally broke the morale of
the Seaforth quartette.
Mrs. Howie and Vice Skip Mrs.
Smith are to be highly complimented
on their generalship, and the perfect
draw shots of Mrs, Dingman and
Mrs need no other comment
than reference to the final score.
A kind invitation was, extended by
the ladies to visit the Classic City for
a, return game, which was graciously
accepted and the "Boys" hope to re-
deem their lost laurels in the near fu-
ture. The personell of the

T. E. HAYS RESIGNS.
At the regular meeting of the Mc-
Killop Insurance Company,
which was held at the Queen's Hotel
on Friday last, the efficient and aged
Secretary -Treasurer, Mr. T. E. Hays,
handed in his resignation to the com-
pany after a service of twenty-three
years.
Much regret was expressed by the
Directors that increasing years had
compelled theirhonored treasurer t'
take this step, and a motion, moved
by Mr. James Connolly and seconded
by Mr. Robert Ferris, was unani-
mously passed: -
"That the resignation of Mr. T. E.
Hays • as Secretary -Treasurer be ac-
cepted and that the Board regret very
much the necessity on the part of Mr.
Hays, for taking this step, and 'wish
to express their appreciation of his
long service, which has conduced to
the success of the company to a great
extent, and they also wish Io express
the feeling that his presence will be
greatly missed at the Board, and at
their meetings, and hope that he may
yet attend and meet with them as of-
ten as possible," -

FIREMEN'S GARDEN PARTY;
The Firemen are as good at putting
on a Garden Party' as in fighting fires,
Theyon the are " lob" from start to

of Seaforth, was evident on Thursday

the benefit of the "Fire Laddies."
The cause was good and the pro-
gramme was excellent. After the
opening number 40 .Canada' Mayor
(io1dutg
who .oeehpie'd;tbe chair, gave
a short address: The'band then gave
Taylor's march, "Samsonian:' The
Highlanders in their selections on this
occasion, surpassed themselves in the
presicion of atta,k, balance and shad-
ing of tone. This was especially true
in "The Wee MacGregor," and the
serenade, "The Twilight Hour."
Master Harry McLeod gave a reci-
tation, "The Old Flag," after which
the band gave .an humoresque, ,"A
Musical Switch." ,
Next the male quartette, composed
of Messrs. Beattie, Israel, Mullen and
McGregor, gave a selection which
pleased the a
1 audience. The first part
of the programme closed with that
funny instrument which an Irishman
calls a "Seotchman's Goose," the bag
pipets, played skilfully by Mr. Angus
More. "
After the intermission, on the High-
landers aiders warmed the
good Irish hearts
by giving a fantasia "Ould Oireland,"
in which many of the old Irish airs
were heard, This seemed a fitting in-
troduction heard,
"Mr, Gallagher and Mr.
Shean," a comic duet given with great
ability by Messrs. DeLacey and Reg.
Reid, and each local "hit" was ap-
plauded. They received a well de-
served encore.
This was followed by an exhibition
of Highland dancing by Misses Helen
Beattie and Margaret Kerr, the ex-
pert little pupils of Miss Mabel Hogg.
The band gave "The Twilight
Hour," and the Male Quartette again
added to the entertainment of the
evening, "The Wee MacGrtrgor"
from the band was followed by Mr.
Geo. Cardno dancing the - "Sailor's
Hornpipe" like a real sailor boy; fol-
lowed by the baud "Yes! We Have
No Bananas."
rhe•accompanists for the evening
were Miss Hazel Reid, Mr. H. Ches-
ney and Mr. L. T. DeLacey. -
Refreshments were served at the
booths, and as the evening was warni,
they were kept busy. The Firemen
will realize about $300 from the even-
ing.
The Firemen will go Burlington to
the Convention next week, accompan-
ied by the Highlanders, and an ef-
fort -will be made to secure the Con-
vention for Seaforth for 1924.

witha pain about the heart and in
spite of medical aid, she passed away

gained many friends and her un-
expected death has - drawn in 'a very

"Marvin Plummer, young son of
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Plummer, 215
Douglas street, is recovering nicely
after his rather hair-raising experi-
ence on Monday. He was climbing
along the iron work under the railway
bridge at. John street when he over-
balanced and fell, striking the con-
crete curb at the edge of the river,
and then falling into the water. Both
arms were broken and had it not been
for the timely help of Leslie Hogg, a
playmate, who got him out of the
water and took him home, his injuries -
might have beep worse."
