The Misleading Lady.—The three - act drama "The Misleading Lady," giv- i en in Cardno's Opera Hall on Monday evening by the Murless Players, a town organization, was the best, most cleverly acted and best staged play that a town audience has ever en- joyed and thoroughly merited the large and enthusistic house that greeted it. The drama ,was adapted to the stage by Mrs., R. Murless-Jones, who took the leading part as Helen Steele, and whose work as director and actress made possible the huge success of the play. Mr. Dalton Reid's imperson- ation of Jack Craigen was excellent and he more than pleased his audi- • ence. Mr. Jones, as Steve Weather- " by, and Napoleon-, was witty and per- fectly suited the parts. Miss Evelyn • Greig, as Miss Cannell, was delight- ful and .artistic.

And while we at home have done our work and willingly too, let us not forget our boys who went over. acquitted themselves' nobly and did their duty like true soldiers to the everlasting honor and glory of our town. They felt we at home were behind them, they had confidence that' we would help them in every possible way; they trusted us. Some of the boys are back while some of them sleep in Fla.nders fields that We might be free. The returned !boys have petitioned us for a memorial for their dead comrades and a club tor themselves, the privileges of which. they offer te every citizen. Are we going to fail them now that the danger of the ballot is the memorial the sol- diers have asked for. Give it to them. It is our duty. Put your shoulder to the wheel -and show your gratitude by carrying the by-law with flying The cost to each individual, one dol; lar for eVery thousand of asseisment, is a mere pittance. What the sacri- fice of a dollar or two to the sacrifice the soldiers have made. Think of the sacrifice -of the noble dead, whose memory we are going to honer. Listen to their message as beautifully Voiced by Colonel John McCrae. "To you from falling hands we throw The torch—be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with who die, We shall not sleep, though popies blow In FlaNders fields." Let us not bre-ak faith with them. Let us forget our little. differences of opinion and sMa.11 mercenary objec- tions. Let Seaforth celebrate Arm- istice Day with a loud "Yes" for the Memorial and herald back to Flanders fields the answer: "The torch ye threw and which we Has hot been held aloft for naught. The figli that ye so well begun Is finish' d now and nobly won. 'midA the poppies sleep in peace In Flanders fields." Citizens' Memorial Committee. To the • Editor Expositor:—The "News" of this week published a letter relative to the proposed by-law, for a Memorial and Hall to the soldiers and purporting to be frem the pen of a returned soldier. Dealing with this matter, the following resolution was unarninously passed at the regular monthly meeting of the local branch of the, G. W. V. A. held last night. "Moved by Comrade Muir, seconded by Comrede Chesney that this branch repudiates absolutely the untruthful and unfounded statements conta,ined in the letter appearing in this week's -issue of The Seaforth News and sign- ed "A Returned,Seldier," and we auth- orize our Secretary to ascertain the name of the writer and to answer this letter. instructed I applied to the publisher of The News for the name of the writer of the. letter and he re- fused to give same and when I pressed him to say that the writer was really a returned soldier he would not do so, and we are perfectly satisfied that this letter was not written by a returned soldier. We give our criticism - of the letter. 1. The citizens of this town have elected a council' of supposedly sane men to manage their affairA. All their discussions are open to the public, each and every councillor is willing and anxious to give all the information he has on this subject and consequently by simply enquiring, this so called soldier or any one else could find that not one but five options at least have been secured, four of these at or be- low their assessed value and one at 'less ,than half its assessed value. Not much "unloading" then to our benight- ed minds; the valuators were, we be- lieve, Messrs. Adam Hays and E. Hinchley. 2. L000king at argument II; would any returned man use such an opening sentence, rather- reminds one of some ancient patriarch weeping o'er his children; does it not? But then again, since the writer is in such a state of abysmal ignorance in re- gard to what building is to be purchas- ed, how can he possibly figure on the coSit of heating ($1,400) or the upkeep ($2,500), when, he says he does not know what there is to keep up; Poor reasoning, dont you think ? For the -information of the Poorback writer we beg to state that one of our "dead- wood" business men will pay $100 willingly, because of the advantages to his children under the proposed scheme. • 3. This town raised four years of war some $30,000 for the men over- seas, so don't worry old man about becoming a citizen simply because you are helping to raise a much smal- ler amount in thirty years. As fOr the "secret deal" there is none. Discus- sion regarding this scheme has ex- tended over six months already. Any man who states "the care of the returned man is not at stake," is deliberately falsifying facts, bee cause the Town Council are endeavor- ing to secure for the soldier boys the very best they can under the circum - 'stances, and are following suggestions 'of needs as given by the Veterans themselves. The "deadwood" So much lamented -in argument three is reallir the result of following such advice as given by our Poorback friend, and may we state that, any man, so lack- ing in courage as to .be afraid to place his :real name after his letter, could notepossibly be,a soldier at all, hence we assume with the utmost con- fidence that he belongs to the "Horne Guards." Lacking the cmirage of his conviction he shduld fail to in- fluence anyone and we ourselves trust the people of this town to do as they have always done, the right thing for their boys. Ratepayers of Seaforth, look up your assessment and figure that the Soldiers' Hall will cost you 50 cents on each $1,000 of assessment and carefully consider whether you owe the soldiers that amount for pro-. tecting you.

And while we at home have done our work and willingly too, let us not forget our boys who went over. acquitted themselves' nobly and did their duty like true soldiers to the everlasting honor and glory of our town. They felt we at home were behind them, they had confidence that' we would help them in every possible way; they trusted us. Some of the boys are back while some of them sleep in Fla.nders fields that We might be free. The returned !boys have petitioned us for a memorial for their dead comrades and a club tor themselves, the privileges of which. they offer te every citizen. Are we going to fail them now that the danger of the ballot is the memorial the sol- diers have asked for. Give it to them. It is our duty. Put your shoulder to the wheel -and show your gratitude by carrying the by-law with flying The cost to each individual, one dol; lar for eVery thousand of asseisment, is a mere pittance. What the sacri- fice of a dollar or two to the sacrifice the soldiers have made. Think of the sacrifice -of the noble dead, whose memory we are going to honer. Listen to their message as beautifully Voiced by Colonel John McCrae. "To you from falling hands we throw The torch—be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with who die, We shall not sleep, though popies blow In FlaNders fields." Let us not bre-ak faith with them. Let us forget our little. differences of opinion and sMa.11 mercenary objec- tions. Let Seaforth celebrate Arm- istice Day with a loud "Yes" for the Memorial and herald back to Flanders fields the answer: "The torch ye threw and which we Has hot been held aloft for naught. The figli that ye so well begun Is finish' d now and nobly won. 'midA the poppies sleep in peace In Flanders fields." Citizens' Memorial Committee. To the • Editor Expositor:—The "News" of this week published a letter relative to the proposed by-law, for a Memorial and Hall to the soldiers and purporting to be frem the pen of a returned soldier. Dealing with this matter, the following resolution was unarninously passed at the regular monthly meeting of the local branch of the, G. W. V. A. held last night. "Moved by Comrade Muir, seconded by Comrede Chesney that this branch repudiates absolutely the untruthful and unfounded statements conta,ined in the letter appearing in this week's -issue of The Seaforth News and sign- ed "A Returned,Seldier," and we auth- orize our Secretary to ascertain the name of the writer and to answer this letter. instructed I applied to the publisher of The News for the name of the writer of the. letter and he re- fused to give same and when I pressed him to say that the writer was really a returned soldier he would not do so, and we are perfectly satisfied that this letter was not written by a returned soldier. We give our criticism - of the letter. 1. The citizens of this town have elected a council' of supposedly sane men to manage their affairA. All their discussions are open to the public, each and every councillor is willing and anxious to give all the information he has on this subject and consequently by simply enquiring, this so called soldier or any one else could find that not one but five options at least have been secured, four of these at or be- low their assessed value and one at 'less ,than half its assessed value. Not much "unloading" then to our benight- ed minds; the valuators were, we be- lieve, Messrs. Adam Hays and E. Hinchley. 2. L000king at argument II; would any returned man use such an opening sentence, rather- reminds one of some ancient patriarch weeping o'er his children; does it not? But then again, since the writer is in such a state of abysmal ignorance in re- gard to what building is to be purchas- ed, how can he possibly figure on the coSit of heating ($1,400) or the upkeep ($2,500), when, he says he does not know what there is to keep up; Poor reasoning, dont you think ? For the -information of the Poorback writer we beg to state that one of our "dead- wood" business men will pay $100 willingly, because of the advantages to his children under the proposed scheme. • 3. This town raised four years of war some $30,000 for the men over- seas, so don't worry old man about becoming a citizen simply because you are helping to raise a much smal- ler amount in thirty years. As fOr the "secret deal" there is none. Discus- sion regarding this scheme has ex- tended over six months already. Any man who states "the care of the returned man is not at stake," is deliberately falsifying facts, bee cause the Town Council are endeavor- ing to secure for the soldier boys the very best they can under the circum - 'stances, and are following suggestions 'of needs as given by the Veterans themselves. The "deadwood" So much lamented -in argument three is reallir the result of following such advice as given by our Poorback friend, and may we state that, any man, so lack- ing in courage as to .be afraid to place his :real name after his letter, could notepossibly be,a soldier at all, hence we assume with the utmost con- fidence that he belongs to the "Horne Guards." Lacking the cmirage of his conviction he shduld fail to in- fluence anyone and we ourselves trust the people of this town to do as they have always done, the right thing for their boys. Ratepayers of Seaforth, look up your assessment and figure that the Soldiers' Hall will cost you 50 cents on each $1,000 of assessment and carefully consider whether you owe the soldiers that amount for pro-. tecting you.
