SEAFORTH W.I,I The Seaforth Women's Institute met on Tuesday, May 14th, at the home of Mrs. Wilfred Coleman, with a very good attendance. The president Mrs. Paul Doig was in the chair. The meeting opened with the Ode and Lord's prayer. The roll call was answered by an exchange of slips and bulbs, The minutes and financial rep - ports were given. The money received from the servicemen's dance is to be used to buy food for Britain. The sum of $40 is to be donated to the Cancer fund. The Institute will not meet di}r- ing July and August. Final pians were made for the District Annual, to he held in Egmondville United Church on Wednesday, May 29, Every W.I. 'member is asked to keep that date in mind, Mrs- Cecil Oke, Agriculture Convener, then took over the meeting, Mr. Leroy Brown, new Agricultural Representative for Huron, spoke on "Conditions in Europe." Mr. Brown served overseas with the RCAF, and his squadron leader was Mr. Ian Mac- Tavish of Seaforth. The main thing lacking in the Old County is proper refrigeration. Dairy products are cooled by well or spring water. Then, during shipment by train, the produce becomes warmed and causes great loss. In Mr. Brown's opinion the scar- city of butter is due to the high prices paid by other countries for dairy cattle to build up foundation herds. A dairy farmer does much better raising good stock for this purpose than for dairying at home with pres- ent prices and restrictions. In the Huron orchards which Mr. Brown has inspected, .frost has definitely da- maged the cherry, peach, plum and early apple crops. The motto, Beauty lies not in a multitude of flowers but in their sel- ection," was given by Miss Thelma Elgie. Mrs. Cecil Oke read a paper Charlie Pearce, "king of the hoboes," died in Bracebridge hospital this week after two weeks' illness. Charlie Pearce, who was always welcomed in the spring along with the robins as he started out from winter quarters for his summer tours, was famous for many years for the large collection of medals which he wore on his coat. In earlier years he could always gather a crowd with his clog'• dancing to his mouth organ and bones accompaniment. Charlie claimed that he had been raised in the vicinity of Seaforth, but it is thought he was a native of Eng- land and that he was around 78 years of age. COUNTY SELECTS KIPPEN ROAD FOR TEST The County Road Committee of Huron County Council at a meeting on Wednesday approved the experi- Imental construction of a section of .the Kippen road where a wider right ' of way will be provided. This will make more room for construction and pole lines; also for tree -plant- ing for snowdrift control. It will also , add to the appearance of the road and provide a windbreak. The road will be raised higher, and deeper ditches will be construct- ed, farther from the road, The side slopes will be sufficiently flat to provide safety. The work will not likely be started until the autumn. Only a mile will be constructed, as an experiment, this year. JOHN McCORMACK The funeral took place on Monday morning from the W. J.
