The Campaign is Over,. • The Expositor Good -Will Club campaign which has been running for the past six weeks, closed on Satur- day afternoon last. ;The contest which was run for tae purpose of securing new end renew.1 al subscriptions and for collecting arrears, was under the 'management of Mr. R. L. Taylor, and he certainly made a success of it. .The i contestants for the thirteen valuable prizes offerea, worked hare and successfully, and although • the competitiou among them was of the keenest, the battle was cleanly fought and when it closed on Saturday all the , candidates were on the best of good terms and all expressed there - selves as satisfied. ( 'The Good -Will Campaign has mad many new readers of The Expositor, man' more who were former sub- aeriberts have co es ea back again. In all several hundred of them. • , Tee appeal too, of the candidates, te our 'readers for the payment of bark et:ascriptions, Must have TIPT; with but few rcfusals, as the amount collected in this: way was as much beyond the expectations of the cand; „dates as it was of this offiee, and ar in a time of great depression. , The Expositor not only wishes to thank the eandidates, but to thank the subscribers for the liaeral 're- sponse. to the appeals for renewal and beak- subscriptions, which were made to. ahem, We have always tried to give all the local news when it is news, ani we believe our readers have appreci- ated our efforts, otherwise our cir- culation would not be the largest in Huron county and could not have 'maintaieed that circulation record oee er a period of sixty years. We welcome the hundreds of new, subscribers: which this cempaign has brought The Expositor, and We be- lieve that they, too, will soon become firm friends and :constant readers.

Bell. London, Eng., August 16,19-62. sea' Dear Dora; This is positively the last of our sparkling eorrespoadence; isn't that romantic? To -morrow morning the big white Empress of Australia wid waft us out of the harbor, homeward bound. It is iSsally sad that my gorgeous holiday has to 'be thus ruth- lessly terminated, just far the future of the race. However, this is no time for sentiment, let's get back 'to Paris, where all went merry as the proverbial marriage bell. The heat certainly didn't Abate but like true tourists we trudged on iv search of the new. Paris certainly has its share of interesting places to visit, but of all the lovely spots on earth, surely the laurel' must go to the tiny chape of Sainte Chapelle. Situated in behind the tPalois due Justice, it was built by Leuis XI as a shrine for the relics which he brought from the Holy Land. Per - feet in every detail, it is entirely de- corated in the royal red and crimson with the gold fleur-de-lis . of the French court. The colored ,.wiedows depicting the story of the gospels, are magnificent, but just outclassed by the superb rose windoma in the rear wall. Right 'around the corner from SaintetChapelle is' located what probably is the most historical place in all France -the Conciergerie where among others, Louis XVI and Millie Antoinette were guillotined during the savage days of the Revolution. A French gendarme took • a morbid delight in orating, for my benefit, on aIi. the gruesenie details. One day, Friday I guess, we cross- ed the Seine to investigate the 'beau- tiful Notre Dame. Its twin towers, lovely windows and shrines:I suppose could not be matched anywhere, but for me the cathedral, failedtoexert the same spell of St. Paul's. Quite an interesting feature of this district are the many !bookstalls with the piestearescase vendors, that :line the oual and surrounding streets and at• leya. The story of Paris, of course, would he incomplete without the mention of Napoleon's toeali at' L'Hotel dos la- valides-which means, not the home for the sick, but for peasierters, ana then the opera.

You could have. bought 'either. Phil or me for the long-standing nickel, though weareally couldn't help laugh- ing. Friday afternoon was devoted to a trip to Versailles, through the. chanting Bois de Boulogne and past St. Claud, where 'Louis XVI, sought refuge fromthe terrors of the Rev- olution. Aside from the fact that sse were 'blessed With a loony guide, we •theroughly enjoyed the gay. splendor of the French royal "residence. It is by far the most enormous palace you • can imagine -why 'Louis XIV -even had a wigging. room, devotedato the care of' his 150 head -pieces! The' ,fame of the Hall of Mirrors is wide, spread, partly, I suppose,. on account of the Treaty of Versailles; however, the tapestries, the exquisite furniture, the portraits, the gardens with their splendid fountain's, are all ,yert of the glory of the place. Friday evening, being the last in our' Continental holiday, was cele- brated. with due fervour at I.e Hido, the night club of Paris, located on the Chamaps4Elysees. Alt 'an hour perilously close to dawn -we decided to call it a day; after a glorious ev- ening. Instead of applauding; you are invited to bat little balls into the air -unique? At our request, the band played "The Blue Danube Waltz" -it was thrilling. Saturday morning at eigibt bells .we were ready, bags in hand, for a real nevelty-sour flying trip over the Channel to London. With much, fear and trembling I crept into the mon- ster cabin plane, but that aoon dis.• appeared 'as we got under way. It was just like- driving in a big lim- ousin.e, why we even had coffee on board. Imagine, we- left le Bourget at 9.20 a.m. and were at Croydon in less than two hours. It was such fun to view that m'emoralble channel from "on top" and to trace the pat- tern of the' golf ceuraes and, farms over England. • You can imagine that once back' in London :we were in a fever to crowd. assmuch as possible into those last few days. On Sunday, after church at Westminster Abbey, we went to Chelsea to luhch • with Mr. and Mrs. Mason. Then not to be out- classed, we explored. the depths of the .Savoy for tea -that -was really and lovely with its elegant atmosphere and intriguing music. In the evening We Want to Make it Plain: Word has coma to this office, through eeveea1. different sources, during the Plast two (lea's, that, an advertisement which appeared in" 'the last issue of The Expositor under the heading, "You Town Needs a Sewer System," was sponsored 'by a group of Seaforth business men. We wish to state positively that no individual, association or grout) of men in Seaforth, bad anything what- ever to do with the/ compiling or in- serting of the advertisement in ques- tion. Or that any ratepayer knew anything' whatever about it until he or she read it in the column's of The Expositor. The copy and insertion order for the advertisement came from a sewer pipe company in Toronto and 'the ad- vertisement was paid for by them. This same Toronto company ran a series et adeertisements, on the same subject, in The Expositor six months ago, and a later one appeared in the issue of November 18th. At/that time there was no mention, thought or suggestion that there was a Connectioe between this series of advertisements and any local pro- ject by'the council, business associa- tion or anyone else to have e sewer eystem, built in 'Seaforth. , There is to more connection ,now. Is that plain eneegh? „ 4•4 The Municipal Pots Are ' • Boiling. The municipal pots are boiling boiling hard.

Miss McIntosh, the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs.' David MoInt6sh, was born at Brucefield, spending all her life in her native village. By her quite, un- obtrusive life of helpfulness, Misa McIntosh not only endeared herself to the members of her own family and to her immediate friende, but al- so became a favorite with all whnse privilege it was to know her. As a member of her church, as far an her health and strength permitted, Miss McIntosh endeavored to serve in every way in which' she felt she could make her services of the great- est value. Of her it could be truly said, "She bath done what she could." The funeral took place from her late home to Baird's cemetery, the ser- vice at the borate and at the grave being conducted by her pastor, the Rev. 'W. A,. Bremner. The pallbear- ers were Meters.

Suf- fice it to say that great credit is due to all the teachers, namely, Mrs. File schie, Miss Irene Douglas, Mr; Claude Blovves, Miss Mettle.
