Goetz is Honoured by Congregation Prior to Leaving St. James • Societies Unite With Con- gregation in Making Pres- entations to Departing Priest. NEW CHARGE TQ BE • IN WALLACEBURG '94 The 'eonneega;tion of St.James' Church, following Vespers. on Sunday evening, honored Rev. Father E. F. Goetz, who left Wednesday •for Wal - 1a eburg. He 'wasepresented with an a:'ddress and purse on 'behalf of the congregation by G. A. 'S'ills and Louie Devereaux. The C. W. L., Sodality, Altar Society, Altar boys, Arts Club and .children of St. James' school also made presentations to Father Goetz. In replying Fathe•'r Goetz thanked. the congregation. He said how much he had enjoyed the fifteen years spent in Seaforth. He wished par- ticularly to stress the co-operation extended him, not only by members of :St. James' Church, 'butt 'by the var- ious councils of the town and by the citizens at large. Father Goetz, who left Wednesday, is going to Wallaceburg where he be- comes pastor, of the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady' of Help. The address is as follows: Reverend and Dear Father: Your Seaforth parishioners here assembled, have listened with sincere sorrow to the"' announcement that this Sunday we must say farewell. Speaking for the garish, may we be permitted to say that it is but fitting that you, dear Father, be 'pulblicly thanked for the work you have done during your tenure of office as parish priest of St. Jainles' parish, iSeaforth. iWe recognize that in the service of God, His church and us, your flock, you have given unstintedly, fifteen of the best •yearsof your life. We wish you. to know that we are proud of what you have accom'plish- ed; we wish you to feel 'fiat inthis, our farewell, you carry with you our best wishes for continued success, good health, and happiness. We feel, that in your new parish, much larger than Seaforth, and a just .reward to yourself, that you will find a further avenue for your undoubted talents. Looking back over those 'fifteen years, we envision a young priest coming to Sit. James' at Seaforth. Coming to a parish, where buildings needed repair, wthere church grounds were unkempt, where our cemetery was pretty . m'ucl of a disgrace and where, nio doubt, the hectic war feu- rer„ days left little time for' people generally to think sinicb of these things - To -day we see this samle 'Sit. James' a 'beauty spot. By your efforts and through your good taste; dear Father, to -day we take delight and pride in our church buildings and our church grounds. Our main altar is one of the most beautiful' ir>; Ontario; our elnenlr fgrxrishings are equally beautiful, and ciur „church itself is a model for cleanliness, that which it should he as the House of God. Our altar boys are, without doubt, among the best trained in Ontario. Our cemetery, your latest venture, is and shall .be, we promise you, a spot of peace and beauty, a true God's Acre. Our one .regret is that in the doing of all these things, we see this priest, - • once so young and strong, very much impaired in health, and dbing of Glad's work has taken its toll of that fine physique. And so it is, dear Father Goetz, that' gathered here to -day to say farewell, we wish to present to you some little token ..of our love and esteem. tIt is to our sorrow that this depressing time does not allow our token to he that which it should, but we ask you - to remember that mach of it has been given with a %spirit of sacrifice, that you might know the people of Seaforth. parish • do sincerely and wholeheartedly re• gret your going. Just as' the widow's , mite is as greatly esteemed as the rich man's donation, so ere make our offering, in the hope that you who it • • •• • •• To Be Honoured Mr. G. F.

Moore • Has Big Plant , on Mi1T Road. 'Seven years ago just a farm, now one of the leading chicken 'breeding and hatching stations in the district. Such is the change which Andrew A. Moore has effected at his property, Sunnyvale Poultry Farm, on the Hili Road. On a trip through rthe premises, one cannot help but be impressed with the planning and work that has been done to bring the plant up to its present position. The central un- it, a two storey frame building, houses the incilbator and . brooder room's. Extending from each side of this are two wings, each containing five •pens.. The entire building is 200' feet in length.' . In addition to this building are 15 colony houses and shelters placed about the 10 -acre field. Which eonsprises the property. Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks. Mr. Moore specializes in Le- liorns and IPlymouith Rocks. By- e • system of line breeding in- volving the use of heavy pro- duction ,backed males, he built up • Andrew A. Moore. the egg laying qualities of all the fe- males until he , now has uniformly high production distributed through- out all flocks from which.' Sunnyvale chicks are produced. It was for this purpose that he last year purchased a number of R.O.P. Leghorn cock- erels from C. D. Calder, Cowansville, P.Q., the leading Leghorn breeder of the east. (Continued on page 4) ALICE DEVEREAUX WINS LOCAL LIONS �LP ESSAY CONTEST Helen Britton Second .in'An- nual Competition for Students. FIVE ESSAYS 'ENTERED Alice . D,evereaux,• Upper School student of the .Seaforth Collegiate Institute, has 'been awarded first peize in the Lions Club essay con- test. 'Miss Helen Britton carne sec- ond. There - were five entries. The subject this ,year was, "If I were a Lion, what would I want my Club to do for our eonrnrunity," and the ;suggestions brought out by the 'e•ntra.nts were both varied and good. It was no easy task that the judges, Dr. 'Charles Mackay and Messrs. J. G: 'Mullen and Charles Stewart were faced with. Needless to say, the judges, while reading the essays, did not know the identity of the writers of the various co'inpositions. Each was designated by a number end it was riot until the judges' decision was reaches) that the president an- nounced the names of the successful candidates. - The winning essay follows: In introducing my subject, "What Would I *ant a Lions Club to do in my community were :I ••a' Lion," I should 'first 'ask myself, what my obligations are as a Lion. ' The name "Lion" was chosen for this great or- ganization because the most imiport- ant •quality demanded of the members is strength. This, of course, requires unity and co-operation of all mem- beer, without which there is no strength. If properly organized and doing the work, Lionism• stands for good citizenship and if I am a. Lion I must necessarily be a good citizen myself, and also do all in niy power to promote the welfare of all citi- zens. My motive for being a Lion most be an unselfish one, that is, I ant not in the society' for any benefit for myself, but rather for the. service I can .do for my fellowmen, both mor- ally and financially. -Keeping 'these facts in mind; I will try to make a few suggestions as to how my Club could be of the greatest service to all in my community. !By mean's of trade and commerce we are friends and rseighbe'rs with othler nations, and, in this day of wonderful scientific inventions for transportation, surely the nations of the world should be one -united fam- ily. (Were I a Lion then, acting on thio. principle, I should want my Club to. be fair, in its business relations with others in my 'town and uphold my . brother merchants in honora!b1e.. .business methods. This would be a foundation for square dealing with nations. Training of childeen in principles of unselfishness makes for the good of society. As the aim of all edura tion is character 'building, I would .snuggest that one period a week of :school time be devoted to special .leo- tures on this subject and study of the lives o'f men and women of out- standing character. The Club might arrange for our 'school children to have free - dental examination- and also special rates for dentistry. In the same way have children's eyes tested and prices for glasses reduced. • T'here may not be marry 'blind in this community, but I would try to have all members of my Club dhow kindness to them and pro- vide each :blind person with some distinguishing ;mark. As tennis' is a most 'enjoyable and healthful ,sport for young people, could the Club secure the use of the old 'bowling green and have it fitted - for a community tennis court? The players might provide their rackets and balls and take turns in marking the courts, leaving the club to ppr- chase the riets. Another good idea for the ,younger children is to have public playgrounds in the -different' ward's of the town. Secure vacant lots for this purpose and equip them with swings, slides and other misuse- ments, halving older children to sup- ervise the games. A eolle¢tion of used magazines, 'books and 'toys at Christmas • time should 'be made and these 'sent •to the West or to Old People's and Orphan's Homes. In conclusion, I would like to see the Club in my community zealous in defense of the right and just, con- siderate in the dealings with the poor and particularly with the young people who, through no :fault • of their own, are unemployed As ser- vice and strength are required, let the rn'emlbers co-operate with each other in working for one or for all of the,differenrt worthy objects which I have tried to set forth in this es- say. knew. us indeed. so well, will under- stand and appreciate. In the name of St. James' Parish, Seaforth, dear Father Goetz, we wish you Godspeed, good luck, health and happiness in your new field of en- deavour. We ask only this in re- turn, that you. may somn•etinres re- member us in your prayers. Recol- lect always;, dear Father, that we, people of Seaforth, have not said "Good-bye," 'but rather do we wish you to he impressed on leaving Sea - forth that our homes, at all times, shall 'be .always ready and glad to receive. you. Until that time comes, may 'God have you in .His keeping. —(Signed on behalf •of St. James' 'Parish: Louis Devereux (far the country), GeoeA. Sills (for the town).

CLUFF & SONS' Councillor, Crosier Explains )Yap Vote +Seafor'th, April 25, 1933. The Editor, The Huron Expositor.. Dear Sir: In regard to the report of the nninutes of the April council meeting of the Town of Seaforth, I have been asked many times why I voted nay in passing the accounts. There was not a fair report of .the meeting in regard to what took place. I brought up a motion not to pay the accounts to those members of the council who had been selling relief .goods to the council, which is strict- ly against the law and would unseat anyone who does such business with the council. I had in thrown up to me at the nomination last DDoce.mlber that;•I was liable to be unseated for doing work for the town, which was tree. Now, I have turned away work from my shop this year and lived up to the law, and the same man that accused me of it last year is a me'mlber of the council this year, and he has had a bill' in every month for relief. Now that same law is in force and if I live 'up to the •law I think other members of the council should do the same.. That is why I voted nay ort pass- ing the accounts. No town is re- sponsible for such accounts. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, fon the valuable space in your paper. Yours truly, :' W. W.
