cordial invitation is extended to all.

Egmondville.—The E. Y. P. S. held
their weekly meeting on Tuesday,
January 28th. Miss Evalena Nott
presided over the first part of the
meeting. The meeting opened with a
hymn and Gladys Coleman read the
Scripture lesson. Mr. Coleman led
in prayer. The topic on "Missions"
was ably taken by Mr. Douglas. A
hymn was sung and after a few min-
utes of games, the meeting was
brought to order by Miss Jean Smith.
Business was discussed and the meet-
ing closed with a hymn and benedic-
tion.
Hockey.—The game between Gode-
rich and Seaforth, played Tuesday
night here, was one of the hardest
fought games seen in years, ending
in a tie, one goal each after thirty
minutes overtime. The rink was
orowded, a special train bringing ov-
er 100 from Goderich, who went away
after getting thrills galore, holding
the late train,nearly an hour. The
players gave the best they had and
left the ice a big weary team, but
anxious to play it over again, which
will occur if it has any bearing on
the district. Roy McGeoch gave one
of the finest exhibitions of goal keep-
ing ever seen in Seaforth, and was
hacked up by the rest of the team for
all they had. George Karges, of Kit-
chener, the referee, handled the game
to the satisfaction of all, and we
hope to see him here again.
Public Utility Commission.—At the
first meeting of the Public Utility

has been its chairman for the past
18 years, a hearty vote of thanks for
the excellent service he has rendered

and thought he has given to the many
problems that have arisen in connec-

phases of the Commission's work since
its inception in our town, and copies
be forwarded to Mr. John F, Daly and
the press.

Death of John Govenlock.—As we
go to press we learn of the death of
M .r. John Govenlock, which occurred
at his home in Egmondville on Thurs-
day morning in his 83rd year. Mr.
Govenlock was a pioneer resident of
McKillop township, and one of the
best known men in this district. A
private funeral will be held from his
late home on Friday, January 31st,
interment being made in Maitlandbank
cemetery. We hope to be able to
give fuller particulars next week.
Death of William C. Montgonlery.—
The death occurred at his home in
Seaforth on Saturday evening, Janu-
ary 25th, of Mr. William C. Mont-
gomery, in his 71st year. For nearly
a year Mr. Montgomery has been a
severe sufferer from heart trouble,
but previous to that he had been a
man of unusually robust constitution.
The deceased was born in Pickering,
but for a great many years he had
been a well known and highly esteem-
ed resident of this town. He was a
cooper by trade and a man of very
quiet manners and disposition, but
was kind and hospitable, and held the
esteem of a wide circle of friends.
Some thirty-six years ago Mr. Mont-
gomery was united in marriage to
Miss Margaret Fraser, of Blyth, who
survives him. Three children died in
infancy, but he is also survived by
one son, Mr. William Montgomery, of
Toronto, who carried on a jewelry
business in Hensall for several years.
A private funeral was held from his
late home on Tuesday afternoon whe7l
the service was conducted by Rev. W.
P. Lane, of Northside United Church.
Interment was made in Maitlandbank
Cemetery, the pall bearers being
Messrs. George Lowery, C. Finkbeiner,
R. G. Parke, Dale Nixon, George
Vickery and M. McCallum.

gregati .? al Meeting. of Cteasteanee
United Church was held on
Thursday afternoon, January 23rd.
Thereports givenl by the various or-
ganizations were very satisfactory
and gratifying to all. The treasurer
of local funds, Mr. R. B. Rogerson,
reported a small balance in the treas•
ury. The Missionary and Mainten-
ance Fund had advanced somewhat
over last year. The Ladies' Aid had
a splendid report, and had raised ov-
er $300.00 during the year and still
had a 'balance in the treasury. The
W.M.S. and Sunday School reports
were very satisfactory. It was mov-
ed and carried that the Elders remain
in office for five years, one retiring
each year. Mr. Robert Clark was
elected Elder to take the place of Mr.
tl'ugill. The Stewards were elected•
as follows: Messrs. Ben Snell, Bern-
ard Nott, -George Wheatley, Ross Mc-
Gregor, A. Irewin, E. Adams, Austin
Dexter. The pastor in commenting
on the year's work, was much pleas-
ed. Owing to the shingling of the
church, it made rather a heavy year
for disappointment. In all there was
raised over $2,000.00. Lunch was
served.

of Christina Willison, which occurred
on Saturday, January 25th. She was
a kind woman, always willing to lend
a helping hand and a true neighbor.
Much sympathy is felt to the brother

BRUCEFIELD
From California.—I have beer.
hearing of the old fashioned stormy
.winter in Canada, as so many have
come out here to enjoy this climate.
They certainly are entertained by the
Canadians who live here, and who do
not forget their good old flag. We
have lately had the rainy season.
When it rains here, it rains. There
were about nine months of dry wea-
ther, so allwere glad to see the rain.
What a time we had last week, the
10th, the anniversary of Prohibition
in the United States. Bells rang loud
and long, something like when the
Armistice was signed, public meetings
were held, and how hard they worked,
especially the N.C.T,U. They cer-
tainly went "the twain mile" and have
still lots of work ahead of them. Many
here listened to King George's speech
on the radio. It was heard here at
2.30 in the morning, so many of us
missed hearing the great notables.
Burns' followers are making great
preparations for Burns' night. They
will have the ancient haggis and all
the old Scotch bread, scones, etc., and
listen to the old pipes. Near Los
Angeles there was lately opened a
little church, said to be a replica of
the church Annie Laurie attended in
Scotland, the wee kirk on t h e
heather. IIt is for funeral services,
weddings, etc, When opened the
Scotchmen came in their kilts with
their bagpipes. I see by our Sunday
school papers of the preparations
made for the Sunday school conven-
tion, that will be held in Toronto in
June, when the Robert 'Raike's statue
will be unveiled. I was surprised to
read in The Expositor's editorial of
Agnes McPhail's opinion of farmers.
We have always supposed that the
farmers were the salt of the earth.
Even an M. P. is not always correct.
Anyway, she does not live in Huron
County. There is a good deal of Can-
adian news in the. pppers here, as
there as so many Canadian readers.
With best wishes to all the good
Brucefield friends.—Bessie McGregor.

and a very social time was spent by
all. The hostess served a d -licious
lunch and plenty of good coffee, which
was very much enjoyed by all. After
thanking the host and hostess for their
kindness, they all left for their homes.

"The two most momentous decisions

"Nine times out of ten these decis-

A wife is chosen because of the

pqgs in round holes.
All around us we see starving
lawyers and doctors who would have
made fortunes and found happiness
in business. We ,see business men
with spiders busy, b • ding cobwebs
en their cash reg1s ho would
have made splendid su eons, or.,,sci-
entists.
Half the world works at uncongen-
ial occupations. Most misfits could
have been made happy and successful
had a bit of care been used at the be-
ginning to steer them into congenial
paths."
So writes Roe Faulkerson in a re-
-ent issue of the Kiwanis Magazine,
official organ of some 1,700 service
clubs scattered over Canada and the
United States.
The Kiwanis Clubs in many cities
are studying this :problem, and with
'heir membership representative of
the more successful men in all legi-
timate occupations they are able to
render a great service.
But we must begin early.
As Principal here it is my impres-
sion that a good many boys and girls
come from farm homes to study not
to get into an occupation for which
they feel they are fitted, but rather
to get away from an occupation which
they have been told offers small re-
wards for long hours and hard labor.
As neither the boys and girls nor
their parents have any adequate idea,
any sufficient knowledge of any other
occupation to form a judgment, the
chances are that most of the decisions
are wrong.
What feelings pupils and parents
have regarding the attractions of the
various occupations are usually bas-
ed on meeting or reading about the
ten per cent. of the city who rank at
the top in success and income. They
do not know that probably seventy-
five per cent. of city dwellers are not
so well off as the average farmer in
this district.
Can we not another year start a
movement to meet this difficulty?
An effort should be made to pres-
ent to pupils and to the parents of
pupils inbn
both
public and
high schools
the real nature of the work and the
life, the qualities of personality, and
the nature and cost of the prepara-
tion, the attractions and the draw-
backs of the various occupations.
There are business and professional
men who would be vlad assist by
discussing the occrpntinns with which
they are familiar.
Your Principal hos h:'d years of
experience in the hi- ieeso world as a
vocational and emrloyni-'nt adviser.
To think of such a prniect at once
recalls our serious lace: of an adequate
auditorium in which we could accom-
modate the parents as well as the'
pupils. Yet to make s"ch a plan
parents as well as pupils should bee
brought together to hear occupations
discussed. in order that the future of
each child may have the benefit of
the home discussion day by day in
the light of the mere aderuate knowl-
1 edge of occupations furnished by
i lectures and pictures at the school.
Speaking recently at the convention
i of the Northumberland Trustees' and
Ratepayers' Association, W. M. Mor-
ris, Secretary of the Cana1ian School
Trustees Association said: "It is
!recognized that the vonth of rural
Ontario after spending a few years
In high school are reluctant to returns
to the farm. The difficulty is that
the courses of studies in the high➢
school have little bearing upon fares
activities.'
This is true. In the main the pro-
fessions are kept before the minds of
the pupils in the high schools, and
the other occupations neglected.
Surely it is our duty to aim to
make our school build up our own:
community first, and to find some
means to present to the pupils with
at least equal emphasis the nature,.
the attractions of those occupations
which may be successfully carried ore
in this district, and something of thee
successes that have -been made is
these occupations and how those who•
have achieved connalcuous success
have done so.
With proper equipment -to make it
possible to bring the parents and/
other citizens fregnently to the
schools, with lectures on the various
occupations of the country as an at-
tractive feature, and further with the
addition of those features wd'lich have
a direct bearing on the more common
occupations, p ons, our high schools and col-
legiates which in the past half cen-
tury have undoubtedly been a factor
in reducing the population of this
county, may become the greatest sin-
gle factor in building up both iter
prosperity and its population.
