Just a few lines thanking you for
the trousers. I am nearly ten years
old and I am at present in bed ow-
ing to a car running over me, but I
was lucky because I only tore the
giders of my leg and I can walk yet.
There are three of us in our family.
I have a brother eleven and a baby
brother two. We are having some
lovely weather here and I lie on a
sofa in..the sun. S read some in the
day. My back is tired sitting up so
I will write a longer letter later.
Your friend, Keith Smith.

LEROY BROWN ADDRESSES.
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.
