Mr. O'Grady said that yarn was . a basic industry, something which went .into the making of Clothingand which hitherto had large- ly been imnported either from.the Old Country or from the United States, 13ecattse there was' i1n duty+on raw material coining from England, a plant operating in Canada could cone- pete with outside factories, Their plant hard -been in operation in an Ontario town and the product had received high praise from large users; also the plant, which has' now been closed for 'nine months, showed that with proper management it would pay well- They had had a skilled mechanic in charge and made yarn of unequalled quality, but he had no executive ability, making necessary the closing of the plant. The build- iiig they had used was ton small to accununodate the machinery and as they could not lank to the town' in which they were lacatect for aid to get larger premises, it was necessary iv move, The type of building required would be preferably a one-story building 200x711 feet and a much smaller build- ing to use at a dye house. For in- surance purposes the dye house had to be separate from the main build- ing. -A long harrow factory of one story would greatly - --reduce the cost of manufacturing yarn, since handling vias a big item of expense. The var- ious machines could be laid out in two rows so that raw material pro- ceeded front one machine to another. down one side and back thr:other. About a year ago. when the plant was in operation, a delegation from eaforth• inspected it, and ,were leased with the prospects. But a . couple of incidents had caus- ed the matterto be held over till now. One was that the agreement with the town which was sent up from Toronto to be sighed, was not the same as the agreement originally proposed and set before the people of Seaforth, and before the matter' was adjusted, disturbing manors started by discharged mechanics haul caused farther negotiations to he dropped. The proposed plant would employ forty or fifty hands the first year, sixty per cent, of which would be giris or women. Tite work ivas light. Mr. O'Grady explanted, but difficulty bad been experienced in securing girls to Work in the factory. Towns were better than cities -for this kind of a factory to locate in, not only be- cause of lower overhead. hut For the help problem. The proposition is that the town guarantee the company bonds to the extent of $40,000. being given a ,Srst mortgage on the plant as security. the head office to be in town and most of the directors Seaforth men. The meeting decided to let the council appoint a committee to go thoroughly into the proposition. The council have appointed R. M. Jones, J. W. Beattie, G. D. Haigh, C. Stew- art and J. Mactavish a committee. REBEKAHS' EUCHRE. 'I'11e Rebekahs held a successful 'tied pleasant -uchre in their rooms on Monday night.

DECREASED SALARIES • l ev Dr, Martin, of Stratford, ,gave a very clear, concise and convincing statement of the deficit in the budget and the causes leading up to it, in the Presbyterian church on Sttnday'tnor)t- •ing. He explained that retrenchment 'had been made both in the Home and Foreign .Field and that the salaried Officials had been reduced from'twen-. ty-nine in 1914 to nineteen itt 1923. The deficit, 'he said, was not Inc to 'expansion of the work, which should have been expanded, nor even to lack of increased, liberality on the part of the people but was .caused by the in- creased cost of living and transporta- tion, foreign exc'han'ge, interest on borrowed money, increase in minis- ters' stipends, etc. He urged propor- tionate and sacrificial giving on the part of the people in order that the mission work of 'the church should not he curtailed.

Methodist Jubilee, •-- An historic event was celebrated in the Method- ist church here last Sunday which will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to partici- pate in it. The occasion was that of the church's Golden Jubilee anniver- sary, and it is not too :much to say that the affair was a real community celebration. On Sunday, Rev. A. McKibbin, B.A., of Fingal, Ont„ a Walton old boy, preached to capacity congrega- tions. In the morning his theme was The Church." and in the evening, 'The 'Moulding of a Life." Mr. Mc Nihb n not only interested his audi- ences at both services, but gave such material as cannot but be of lasting benefit to all who heard hint. The' choir of Duff's Presbyterian church furnished splendid music, which add- ed much to the effectiveness of the clay's proceedings. On Monday evening a fowl supper•, and concert was ]veld in the church. The weather,which on Sunday h} was l sir alt that could be desired, was even better on Monday, with the result that the old church could scarcely accommodate all who came, After everyone had done justice to the good things in the basement provided by rhe ladies, an excellent programme was given in the auditorium of the. church. Mr, Morley, of Toronto, well known elocutionist, and Miss Rennie of Zurich, vocalist and pianist. pleased I 1 their the audience .immense t h y Y splendid work. An important part of the programme was the historic sketch of Walton Methodism for the past fifty years, given by Mr, W. H. Kerr. Interesting addresses, some of them reminiscent in character, were given by Rev. A. C. Tiffin of Myth,, Rev. 3. W. 'Button of Florence, both former pastors, Rev. A. McKibbin and Rev, J. A Ferguson. A telegram was received from another former pastor, Rev. F. W, Craik, stating that he was unable to come and sending greetings frotn himself and his wife. Rev, R. Fulton Irwin, of Seaforth,, superintendent of the circuit, occupied the chair in his usual :efficient man- ncr. To do honor to the occasion, Mrs. ,Tames N. Campbell made a lovely jubilee story' cake. Pieces of this cake are being sent to former' pastors and given to members and friends of the church. The jubilee was .a success in every way, and was worthy of the great oc- casion. In the mature of the ease, snehi to event suggests retrospective thought„ and as one looks hack over the fifty years' activity of this church, the begets to be impressed with some- thing- of .its importance itt the, life of the cotnmttnity. But it is exceedingly necessary that we look to the future rather than to the past, And it is to be hoped that this great event will inspire the Methodists of Walton to go forward and acco•'npltsh still more inthe interests of God's Kingdom. The proceeds were over $400.00. Following are the naives of the pasto! s of the church since its dedi- cation reading, ai•rosst \'tit. Uavey Mr. Stafford 5. \V. Faflis Wm; Baugh Tiros, Gee 'rhos.

November 26th, follow- ing the anniversary services, Sunday. Nov, 25th. Rev, W. D. McDonald, of Egmonrh•ille. will occupy the pul- pit at the morning -.and evening ser- vices. Rev-. Dr Martin, Stratford, gave a very interesting address on the "Bud - rt, ,n connection with ntissiotta-y fields. He explained things very clearly and it is to be hoped the peo- ple will take a greater interest in the good work when the collection plate is being passed around. The banquet held in Cavan church last week was largely attended. The address, given by Miss 'Freedman, formerly of India on the Hindu life in India, was interesting, She sang many hymns in different Indian lan- guages. She showed several idols and explained their different usages. She also wore the Hindu dress. After the address, o vote of thanks was moved by, Mrs. J. M. Govenlock by a few fitting words and seconded by Mrs. J. G. Grieve who gave a few words in accordance with the great need of help to our mission fields. After the close of the meeting all returned to the basement. where supper had been prepared by the ladies on the west side of the gravel. Great credit moat be given to them for preparing such a grand spread, and every one of the east side seemed very much satisfied after getting up from the table.

The groom's gift to the bride was a muskrat coat to the bridesmaid. a gold ring with sardonyx setting, and to bite groomsman a gold tie -pin. After the marriage .they went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Orval Hableirk, cousins of the groom, where a wedding dinner hart been pre- pared for .them, and later left on their. honeymoon by motor to Kitch- ener.
