Mid the host gave of b1s best efforts of hand or IIlvoiee or brain to entertain his guet5ts, or listened with undis- guised and unfeigned pleasure to the efforts of the guest to entertain him. And the etranger and the friend were welcome and made to feel that way. There is that genuine aced old time hospitality still to be met with in this o world, but with all our popula- tion, p p tion, our labor-saving devices in the home and our easy and rapid anodes of transportation, one does look for it as a matter of course, as of old. Rather one does not expect it, but is, nevertheless, charmed and gratified when it is encountered. Welcome used to be blazened in large letters over the door in almost every home, be it of high or low de- gree, and hospitality was extended solely for the purpose of giving and of receiving pleasure. To -day, too of- ten the sign is only put out over the door of the home that has some navy- thing newthing of art, of treasure or of furnishing, which represents the pur- chasing power of money. Nat to give hospitality for hospitality's' sake, but for the purpose of creating wonder of the command of resources in the minds of a stranger, or envy in the minds of a friend. Other days have other ways. The old time • home may have possessed few furnishings and no conveniences, but the hospitality it extended was rich in welcome and goad will. Too many modern homes are rich in ev- erything but those old time virtues,, and the world is not any better for it. Se e'ral months ago a branch . of ;?' radian Legion of the British :ixitlrre Service League was formed all 'Seatordh, which is called Seaforth Post 156. $ Since its formation the Seaforth Post has on two occasions advertised entertainments at which an admission fee was charged, and these were lib- erally patronized by the people bath in the town and country. Since then several inquiries have come to this office, asking whether the funds derived from these enter- tainments were distributed as profits to private individuals, or were actual- ly used to benefit returned soldiers. After careful enquiry, The Exposi- tor is in a position to assure the pub- lic that the organization is one de- serving loyal support from every citi- zen; that the money so fax raised has been well and wisely spent, but that the money under its command is en- tirely inadequate to meet the calls made upon it. Further we learned that the Sea - forth Post has a membership of 30; the annual fee per member being $2.50, that this fee is only half of that levied in other Posts in this county, and than it wias placed at this low figure so as not to debar any returned soldier from membership on account of the fee charged. From the branch fee of $2.50 per member, $1.50 is sent to the head- quarters of the Provincial and Domin- ion organization. That leaves the lo- cal branch only $30 with which to tarry on its business. This business consists of looking after disabled soldiers and their de- pendents, securing pensions for re- turned soldiers, increases to existing.- pensions xistin,fpensions and relief from the Depart- ment. As an instance of the activities of the Seaforth Post, we might mention that in its efforts, to secure a pension• for a Iota' disabled soldier, 23 letters were exchanged with the Pension Board in this ane case alone and the average of letters for others has been eight. And while this work is done by the Past officers without pay or renumeration of any kind, it can readily be seen that considerable funds will .be necessary if the Sea - forth Post is to accomplish the ob- ject of its aims and hopes. One thing that we would like to impress upon the minds of the public, above the fact that the organization is worthy of every consideration and patronage is, the fact that it is an actual safeguard and ' guide in the giving of money, when aid is asked on behalf of returned men. The Post is competent to decide the genuineness of all ciai'm•s and the pub• 1ic is advised not to give aid to any solicitor asking it for any form of war relief work, unless that solicitor carries a letter from the officers of Seaforth Post 156. And, in addition to being a live, patriotic organization, the financial business of the Post is conducted in a thoroughly business like manner. All business is done through the bank, all amounts are paid by cheque, and the accounts are regularly audited. HOSPITALITY Life says that it is easy to enter- tain guests in the city because you can get plenty of food just by open- ing a can, and plenty of music just by opening a window. No doubt that is true, but neither earned food nor canned music can be considered to be the height of hos- pitality, even if they provide an easy mode of entertainment. In fact easy modes of entertain- ment are largely responsible for the disappearance of the old time hos- pitality practised by our forefathers in this country. There are, of course, many other causes which have con- tributed their quota in accomplishing the doom of hospitality in the home or what was known as hospitality. It was not the custom in the early days of Ontario for either host or hostess to seek far easy ways of en- tertaining thJ•ir guests. On the con- trary, no work which had for its ob- ject the pleasure of the guest was considered or counted work at all. It was, in fact, a pleasure. Even at ti- s day one can imagine the expression of wrath and disgust which would have flashed over the face of the old time housekeeper if someone had s'iggestedd setting a table with canned goods and canned cook- ing as we knew them to -day. Or the expression of face of the old time hast, if it lied been suggested that it wory) be easier to open the win- dows to allow his guests to hear the cows' bawling And other music from the bairn yard, than to entertain thein With the old time music that used to lbe •$ai some form or other in every Ott -'the housewife always had on aYi't ''ti: :good supply of home nada naked' food, plain ar deli - !nr(tii tytyf. .ixprlllj where Mr. 'Smith has taken a posit gi4n as butcher.—Mr. D.

The Late Thomas Murdock. — On Monday afternoon last, the funeral of the late Thompson Murdock, one of our 'oldest best known and much re- spected residents of our village, was held from his home here and inter- ment made in the 'Renals Union cem- etery. The service was held at two o'clock and was conducted by the Rev. A. Sinclair, of the United Church, who paid high tribute to the life of one who had been associated with the business life of our village for over fifty years, and who by his kindly and genial manner, coupled with great hospitality and open-handed kindness, had made himself a great favorite with all classes and in a very special manner with the children, to whom he was most indulgent, Mr. Murdock, when first coming to our village from Lucan, over fifty years ago, engaged in the livery business, which he con- ducted on a very large scale often having over thirty horses, as well as many race horses from time to time, but with the advent of the cars, Mr. Murdock reduced his livery to a few horses for hire and carrying rural m'.rch sweetness, and with his whole soul in it, and in fiddlers' contests won trophies and medals, winning second prize in a fiddlers' contest of those of advanced age in Toronto just a few years ago. He was known to hun- dreds of commercial travellers, in fact no man was better known in our vil- lage and throughout the district, as he was a most companionable Man and fond of company, hi•s house being what mit bt be termed, an open borne, •'i 'ply} °•.,g.av x.k} 1{4i„••••••••„. 4 1,[ po i,r{ J X11 Beautiful New Ford bodies on display at our showrooms.

Mr. Murdock was in his 83rd year and, until the past year, when his health and strength began very noticeably to decline, he was as smart on foot as a man of only half his age. He leaves to mourn hist loss his wife, whose maiden name was Jana Hunter, and three daughters, Amy, Mrs. (Dr.) Campbell, of Toronto; Ethel, at home, and Vera, Mrs. A. C. Hogarth, of Calgary, Alberta. Thus one by one our old residents are pass- ing away but will be long remembered by those nearest and dearest to them. NOTICE TO PUBLIC. Having disposed of the furnish- ings in trade of the R. E.
