St. Thomas', Seaforth 10 a.m., Sunday School PROPOSES COMMUNITY EFFORT TO OPERATE GOLF AND TENNIS CLUB Mr.- G. M. Ritchie Explains His Position In Relation To Golf And Tennis PYoperty The Editor, Seaforth News— Dear Sir: During the last week there has been brought to my at- tention Many rumors and various veiled threats concerning the Golf Course and Tennis courts which are now in nay possession, so I find .it necessary at this time to lay the facts before you. 1; The property was not snatched up while nobody was looking but con- versely it had been offered to other parties and I was assured that in the event of my failing to take it, it would be sold to others. 2. The property is not rented for pasture, although several excellent offers were made, unsolicited, and during the past few years, it has been tart to pasture. '3. The property -is not to be Ploughed up, although representatives' of the Goderich Golf Club were very anxious to remove the greens. 4. It has been suggested that there were legal loopholes in my agreement to purchase. This, I have been as- sured by some of the best legal talent in Ontario, is not so. While I would go to great lengths to avoid .such a con- troversy, if it is forced upon us, It will be found that we are prepared. 5. Contrary to nubile opinion I have not now, nor have lead, any desh'e to do away with golf or tennis in this community. As evidence I quote in part any letter to the Sea - forth Lions Club — of December 4, 1945 — "There are, 1:am sure, many facts of which I ani unaware; if; these prove best for the community, I then I am quite willing to turn the' property over to those who are able to prove it such. You will agree with me that this would be a community program which would extend over at least a few years and a co-operative project which might include several other interests besides those of the iLions Club." EarlyinFebruary of this year II officially met with a delegation from • the Seaforth Lions Club and made arrangements to protect the water flowing into their pool from con- tamination; we agreed upon a plan for the beautification of the approach to the town and several other mat- ters. At this meeting 1 expressed the hope that in some manner the Golf Course would function this summer.' The representatives of the Lions Club were- very enthusiastic and indicated that their club was In a position to materially aid in the maintenance of !the course.

JAMES SHOLDICE James Sholdice died suddenly of a heart attack on Thursday at 10:00 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George Williamson, McSRillop Town- ship. Mr. Sholdice was born October 12, 1862, in Tuckersmith. He was married to the former Marion Wat- son, June 4, 1893. They farmed in McKillop township and retired to Seaforth seven years ago. Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Shol- dice, he was a member of the.Pres- byterian Church, Seaforth. He is survived 'by his wife, two sons, John of London, and Watson of Brussels;, three - daughters, Mrs. John Mc- Kotier, Tuckersmith; Mrs. Talbert Clarke, Grey county,-- and Mrs. Geo. Williamson, Seaforth; three sisters, Mrs. John McLeod, ' Saskatchewan, Mrs. George Milldon, Brussels, and Mrs. Thompson Maclntosh, West - hope, Nova- Scotia, and five grand- children. The funeral was 'held April 22 at 2:00 pan. at the home of bis eon -in-law,: George Williamson, lot 17,' boundary of McKillop. Inter- ment in Maitlandbank cemetery.. The pallbearers were: Robert Joynt, James Morrison, David Boyd,. Wm. •Oldfield, Art ' Wright, Wm. Cuthill, Rev. - Williams officiated, assisted by Rev. Hazlewood.

That it be strictly non -denominational and open to any one regardless of race and creed; to support this I give you the fine records established in this last con- flict by the padres and auxiliary ser- vices, working together in similar mutual benefit programs. That there be no dlrarge fol' the use of the facili- ties and that an effort be made to have sufficient clubs and racquets available for those who do not have any. I, for one, 'would be pleased to donate a set of clubs and a bag for this purpose. The cost of .operating such a pro- ject can be handled in many ways, several of which, 1 am sure, will pre- sent themselves to a committee such as ,above. My hope for having such an enter- prise operating is motivated by many reasons, not the least of which Is contained in the recent appeals from the Vatican and from the World Council of Churches at Gene- va and such publications as the Christian Science Monitor and the War Cry. These appeals lead me to believe that a more active interest by the church in such affairs as this will make for better Canadians. In proposing this to you let me once again refer to my correspond- ence with the Lions' Club "I reas- sure you that I do this with no ul- terior motives or hope of gain and that the property will be used only to the advantage of the community at large." . . . this is still true.
