Pate seems to be in et�vaait fox Wm.
Bowden, of 'Con, 2, Stephen township.
Last w'ee'k during the storm he was
unfortunate in halving his (barns en-
tirely demi[oli'shed. This w'ee'k on
Monday while clearing away the
debris with his team, he was in the
act of putting the fanning mill on
the wagon, when it sndtden1y• tiite'd,
frightened :one of the horse's which
suddenly jumped, and the two imide
a dash for liberty. Mr. Bowden hung
on trying to get them, to a standstill.
The !infuriated animals ran thee -ugh
the lane to the road and across to a
neigh'bor'(s yard. Going through the
gate the wheel of the wagon struck
the post with a farce that :threw Mr,
Bowden of the wagon, lighting on
Acis face, (breaking his poste and other-
wise bruising his •h'o'lly. Other than
ra few scratches to one horse further
damage did not result.
An adequate •supply of pure water
in the apiary,.,easily accessible to the

tection at this' time 'of, year. ••

About Latin
Seaforth, June 12, 1933.
To the Editor, Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: itt is. with much inter-
est and curiosity that 'I read in the
last issue of The Expositor the re-
port of . the Huron 'County Council
meeting.. Amlong..other things, it be
-
copies apparent •that the local re-
presentatives would ring the curtain
down on the study of classics in Gol-
legiates and High ,School's of today,
at Beast in those serving a rural conn
munity, , Nobody realizes more than.
the writer the neoe's!sity for economy,
but do bet it be econorey, not just
"cutting off our noses to spite our
faces."
The one feature of our pres'e'nt
civilization is rank materialism arid
utililarianism. Even the very food
we eat must be useful! Where would
we be if that criterion were actually
carried to its logical Conclusion? No
doubt we should all be promenading
the Main Street in sugar sacks, since
that is all that is required ,to" keep
us within the bounds of propriety and
oertainly it would be warm enough
fol.- our present needs.
Our so-called beautiful modernistic
architecture is an excellent example
of utililarea.m'ism=writh its four-
square mi!eticulously ''mea's'ured angles
and points. The age is ,material -mad;
no longer may we study classical
music, gothic architecture, the art
treasures of the past, for fear of
being dubbed "old -•fashioned." Even
Mother's Day, the most beautiful of
sentiments, may be 'bought for a
price. Now we must dispense with
the classics simply because there. is
no way of measuring in dollars and
cents the' practical returns gained
from hours of .devoted study.
A cartoon comes to mind,- nepres-
enrting Trotsky and Lenin sawing op-
en the skulls of Russians, in order to
pour in liquid Bolshevism. The an-
alogy is evident. The wotld- is ac-
quainted with the attempt to vnak•e
the Russian culture of a thoroughly
useful and practical nature. School
curriculums have been pared down
to the bare essentials necessary to
prepare boys and girls to be useful
Russians; even religion has been
carefully ruled out of existence, until
you might say there was nothing left
that was really lovely. The result is;
of course, that the people are going
stark mad in a feverish attetnpt to
carry out the dictates of a ,practical
mrind. The inference is not that the
Huron councillors are Russians, but
simply that they are devotees of -the
same new but .gigantic god, mater-
ialism.
Let us meet the councillors on their
awn ground and see whether it is
really true that, th'e e'tudy of classics
is devoid of practical returns. No-
body is prepared to see• the farmers,
the 'ba•okbone of Canada, grow up in
ignorance. Then the study and ap-
preciation of English literature and
the ability to speak in public without.
putting one's native language on the
eocecutioner's 'block, 'becomes a neces-
sity, not a luxury. Unfortunately,
the .Britons were so foolish aa to base
CASE PROPERTY I.S
PURCHASED' FOR NEW
GOLF 'COURSE SITE
Work of Levelling a n d
Building to Start
Immediately.
TO BE NINE HOLES
A eolmfnuttee appointed by the
meeting of citizens called by the Sea -
forth Golf and :Country Club, to. con-
sid!er a new golf course site, purchas-
ed the 'Case property on the Huron
Road,,. East, on Wednesday. The
price was $2,750 and • one share of
etock "in the new club. Possession
will be given July 1st.
The Case farm contains one hun-
dred acres. It has am excellent large
briek house, which has been a local
landmark for years. The property,
also includes a small !bush.' --Case's
Grdve-a popular picnic 'ground for
e number of generations of Seaforth
children. Silver Creek wind's through
the farm and will add Much to the
beauty.of the golf course.
The Seaforth Golf and Country
Club have been. located for the
past fifteen years on the Dodds'
farm in McKillop. The change of
site, however, has been necessitated
by ,the inability - of the Club to have
the lease, which runs out the end of
this year, renewed. on satisfactory
terme.
.It' will likely be some weeks before
actual construction work begins on•
the property, 'although a detailed sur-
vey will be made as soon' as posses-
sion is given. The course will be
nine holes and with the water and
hill's :with which the property abounds
should be one of the ,nest popular
links in the ••district. It .should be
ready for play next season.

splenmdid talk to the . children on
"Lessons to be Taken 'From the Bees."
The service of ,song was led by the
young people of the 'Sunday school.
There was an anthem, "Smiling
Through"; a, solo . by Kelso Adams;
which was enjoyed; .a. beautiful duet,
"Lead Kindly Light," by Mrs. Dos -
ranee acrd Miss [Ivy Simmons. In the
evening the•, (pastor, Rev.. Gardner,
assisted in the service. Rev. Keine
gave an inspiring and timely address
on, "Then came to Ham the mother
of Zelbedus children with her son,
worshipping Hine and desired a
certaing thing of Him." T h e
music by the choir consisted of an
ant'hejrn, "Fling Wide the Gates";
solo by Mrs,. P. Lindsay; a quartette,
"Wandering Child, Come Home," by
Miss (ivy Simlmons, [Mrs. Wim. Britton,
Mr. Warn: ,Britten and Mr. George
Wih'eatley, which fitted in with the
subject of the evening and was nvueh
enjoyed.
Mr. 'Leslie Tasker, who is erecting

frame work finished on Saturday
night and the ,,form on Sunday lev-

that posterity would have another
problem to face "what price Latin in
modern schools in order that farm
boys and .girls may be conversant in
their own language."
One of the councillors was quite
right in claiming that 'only 3 per cent.
of the students proceed to uni,versi-
ties-that's the way it should be, an
honor, not a habit. The study of the
classics is real mental discipline, as
any struggling student will agree,
and its continuance is cheap at any
mice if it only makes it neore dif-
ficult for boys and girls to be satis-
fied with the "Elsie Dinsmore" or
'Horatio Alger" type of book. Let
us also remember, that Virgil himself
was a farmer, but that did not, pre-
vent him from understanding and ap-
preciatirig, let alone writing, the
treasures of his native tongue. Here's-

Mrs. A.nma Taylor Ashdown, wife

of Blyth, failed in her suit ''brought
against the Village of Blyth and the
Blyth Municipal Telephone System is
the only case to go to trial at June
session's, which opened and'closed be-
fore Judge Costello on Tuesday.
In her evidence, Mrs. Ashdown, a
middle-aged lady, related, that while
walking from the si'dewal'k across the
boulevard to an automobile at the
curb her left foot ;broke through the
sod into a hole, allegedly once the
location. of a telephone pole, and
that she suffered two broken bones
in her heel, resulting in permanent
injury.
This was on July 21st; 1982, and
MTs. Ashdown, the former Anna Tay-
lor, was then a •spi•nster, but was en-
gaged to marry 'Dr. Ashdown on
August 12th of the same year, just
three weeks after the accident. The
we'ddi'ng took •place on the scheduled
day, with the bride's •fnnt in a plaster
cast, but the scene of the wedding
!had to be transferred front Toronto
to Blyth and a • honeymoon trip to
the :Meekoka Lakes cancelled. Plain-
tiff claimed, 'among other items, $50
to compensate her fiancee for his
out-of-pocket money fie his attend-
ance upon her.during l:.*r illness and
$100 for dis'appointmc::t and incon-
venience resulting from the caneela-
tionn of the honeymoon.

"To -day, as a result of the acci-

is stooped over, her flcure will never
be the same. She will never run or
dance again."
"Did you, ever sen her dance?"
asked counsel.
"Yes, many times in her own
home," replied witness.

as to where to turn for relief.
We formerly went to the Depart-

•now this has changed and we are
asking for expenditures to.Obe 'de-
creased, and we think we are pur-
suing the proper course to keep
down the taxes,
It must be borne in mind that
those who don't buy gasoline, don't
pay tax. ,If they don't buy licenses,
they are not supporting provincial
road expenditures, and the Govern-
ment revenues are much decreased,
hence th'e' request for a decrease in
county expenditures.
