'G. W. V. A.' Notes. The indica-
tions are that we shall have a fine
crowd at our Christmas dance. Vis-
itors in town over the holiday season
will be made welcome, The following
gentlemen members have been asked
to act as a Floor Committee on the
28th: Mr. L. T.. DeLacey, Mr. Harry
Stewart, Mr. R. Hays, .Mr. Ross
Sproat and Mr. Joseph McMillan.
—Mr. Ben Johnson has resigned to
take a position elsewhere and Mr.
John Wilson is now in charge of the
Club House. Following our poljcy of
employing former service men, when
possible, it is but right that the mem-
bers should know that Mr• Wilson is
a 90 per cent. total Disability man as
a result of his war experiences; and,
therefore, we trust he will be given
every assistance towards keeping up
the reputation of the Club.
—The fees for the Christmas dance
have been set at $2.50 for gentleman
and lady, extra lady, $1.00.
Announcement.—The engagement.
is announced of Miss Mary Ross Me -
Gregor, daughter of the late Mr. and

Barbara Kirkman. Auxiliary. --The
annual meeting of the Barbara Kirk-
man Young Women's Auxiliary of the
Presbyterian chi*rch, wsa held Tuesday
evening of last_ week, when the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the
coming year: President, Mrs. H. J.
Gibson; Secretary, Miss Anna Bell;
Treasurer, Miss Gretta Ross. The
reports showed the past year to have
been the - most successful in the his-
tory of the society and one of great
progress. The amount raised this
year by the society was $580, an
increase of $438 over the previous
year, and the attendance and en-
thusiasm manifested at the annual
meeting would indicate that the com-
ing year will be equally fruitful.
Installation of Officers.—At a large-
ly attended meeting of the members
of Britannia -Masonic Lodge, held in
their lodge rooms on Tuesday even-
ing, the newly elected officers were
installed in their respective offices.
Rt, W. Bro., Dr. R. E. Cooper acted
as Installing. `Officer and performed
the duties in an exact and pleasing
way, while the charge to the Beth -

Let's gro to Hugill's Music Store;
ke sells that good old Bell Piano.
The tone is so beautiful and the ac-
tion is so easy, any child cans play it,
and the price is right, although it
may cost a little more than some of
those strongly advertised cheaper
lines. Musicians tell us the Bell is
the best buy on the market to -day,
taking everything into consideration.
So, it is our duty to have a demon-
stration. If you can't call on him,
have him call on you. He also sells
Phonographs, Sewing Machines, and
Cream Separators, and he will be at
the Seaforth Fair with his exhibit of

Death of Murray McLean. The
death occurred in Toronto on Satur-
day evening of Allan Murdo Murray
McLean, eldest son of Mrs.., Ethel
McLean, of that city, and—grandson
of the late M. Y. McLean, of Seaforth.
Although a partial invalid for some
years, his death was very unexpected
and came from the effects of an at-
tack of grippe, which he suffered the
previous week. Mr. McLean was
born in Ilford, Essex, England, in
February, 1899, but on the death of
his father when he was two years of
age, the family came to, Seaforth,
which was his home until four years
ago when they moved to Toronto
He is survived by his mother and one
brother, H. K. McLean.: a -student at
the School of Science, Toronto. The
remains were brought to- Seaforth on
Tuesday, the funeral services being
'held from the residence of Mrs. M.
Y. McLean,. on Tuesday afternoon, and
interment being made in Maitland -

the heaviest downfalls of snow for
years to occur in a few hours, fell
here Friday night, making the roads

is that the fall of snow seems quite
local, as •a few miles east of the

good sleighing.—The funeral of Mrs.

dent
esident of the village, took place in
