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

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-

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.

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. Wasn't I 'Liken-
tioiated-'11)'''dleeove r it carefully 'seal-
ed up in staffolding?
, Thursday aft ern oen the heat was
so intense that We decided Le cease
operations in favor of a swim. Div -
big. headlong into a eulevay we. en-
:feta-ore:el for all of live minutes to
explain to' the gatekeeper that we
wished to go to the moii.tor-e-all this
in French -only. t•O ..have her reply
that she understood only French!
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? „

Emma' 'McIntosh. 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

55. Paul's Anglican Church under the
auspices of the A.Y.P.A. on Wednes-
day evening in the Town. Rail, and
which consisted of a very fine play
entitled, "The House of Bread,' add
was most eplendidly put' on by
number of the members. Portraying
as It did .(Bible incidents and history,
it was most interesting frolni stars

space woeld not permit us going in-
to particulars or personal Mention of
'these who Oak the leading parts so
'well, 'ably supported by a number of
otherse:wbo rounded out, and complet-
ed the many :parts of the play, which
took about two hours to 'render. The
rector, Rev, M. B. Parker, very pleas-
antly and ably presided.
The Public and Continuation school
entertainment, held in the schbol
room on Thursday afternoon, was
most largely attended 'and was an'
excellent one throughout, the pupils
doing great credit to their teachers
as well as to themselves in the fine
manner in which they took, their
'many parts in choruses, drilla, reci-
tations.; etc. In short every pupil
did his or her part in a manner that
e'vi'denced fine training and marked
ahdhty in rendering, and it would be
'practically impossible to particular-
ize the many fine parts taken. 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. Ellis and MisS
Annie Cousitt, who so ably assisted
the pupils in doing their parts that
elicited so much praise and credit.
(On Friday evening lzooth Carmel
Presbyterian Church and the United
Church held in the school roome of
'their churches, fine Christmas tree
entertaimnents that could not well
be surpasied and which it mould be
imPessible to yeport in .detail, ;con-
sisting of so very ,many and varied
parts that go to make.up.fine Christ -

without saying that the delight of
the 'children 'over the enchanting
trees with their wealth of gifts, beau-
tifully lighted upaand decorated and
presided ever :by Santa 'Claus, knew
no bounds and largely compensated
the superintendents, 'Mr. J. W. Ort-
wein and Mr. Peter 'Moir;' ably sup-
ported by the teachers and officers
of the two 'Sabbath scheols for' all
the management and responsibility
that rested Upon them' in providing
for the, splendid Christmas tree en-
tertainments. , •
'Our rural schools had 'fine enter.

Our merphants report a pretty
good Christmas week of business and.

plays.
There has' been quite an epidemic
of colds during the Past week Or so
owing to the very changeable wea-
ther and rains.
Quite a 'number' from our village
and vicinity have lbeen attending the
Kippen town hall dances.
Our rural couriers have been back
to their ears' during the last few
days.
The services in our thriee local
churches on Sandary last, Christmas
Day, were well attended with excel-
lent discourses appropriate to the
day and splendid musical selections
by the choirs.
At St. Paul's Anglican Church the
rector, Rev. M. 'B. Parker, delivered!
a very fine discourse while the choir
swell suatained! their part with finely
rendered anthems and hymns'.
At Carmel Presbyterian Church
the 'Rev.,Mr. Young spoke with -much
'interest and force as to Christmas
Day and what it meant to the world
at large, while the musical part of
the service Was of a very special
character, embracing fine solos, duete
and quartettes, and largelt by the
men specially at the evening service
which was devoted. very especially to,
musical numbers appropriate to
Christmas Day and a number of very
fine numbers were rendered. The at-
tendance was very good both morn-
ing and evening, and the services
throughout the day were much en-
joyed. Quite a large number from a
distance who were 'here visiting, at-
tended both morning and evening.
At the United Church the pastor,
Rev,. A. Sinclair, delivered two fine'
sernibns, morning and eveting, dwel-
ling Most interestingly on what
Christmas Day meant to all and the
world at large in the message at
the birth of Christ, "Good will to all
and peeve on earth," and hew if the
teachings of Christ were followed,
what joy, peace and happiness would
follow.' The' choir added much to the
service with (finely rendered anthems.
At theeeveniag service for ten min-
utes or so previous to the opening,
Miss Eleanor Fisher 'rendered fine
pipe organ music of Christmas car -
els in addition to fine anthems there
were "a couple of splendidly rendered
quartettes by the members 'of the
