The roll call was responded to with a scripture verse containing the word "love." The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the secretary, Miss Edna • • • /• • On Fast Time Thursday had been a long day. Dusk was falling and clerks were growing weary—were anxiously 'waiting for the six o'clock bell. Ah, the bell! Housewives hur- riedly attended to last minute supper details; merchants pre- pared to close up shop, and small boys hurried home mindful of oft repeated warnings to be on time for meals. Ah! Again—for the hands on. Seaforth clocks point- ed to only 'five o'clock. But the bell can't be wrong; the clocks must be slow, mused the good people -of Seaforth. But,'alas,and alack, the bell was wrong. Chief of Police James V. Ryan, whose business it is to pull the rope, was one hour ahead of time. Puzzle hie head, as he may, the Chief can not understand how it all happened. "I thought it was six, but it wasn't," he said. • • • • • • COLLEGIATE TEAM WINS FOOTBALL GAME • Tie Clinton and Win From Goderich in Inter School Series. • Seaforth •and Clinton Oollegiates played a no -score game at the Re- creation Park, 1Seaforth, on Friday last fer the Haugh Cup.

HYDRO POWER IS OFF Seaforth and district experienced a severe electrical and rain storm on Saturday, which did considerable damage. During the evening at the height of the storm, a large chicken house son the farm •of Mr. James E. Reynolds, east of town, was struck by lightning and completely destroy- ed. Hydro was off in town for a short time oh two occasions, the first at 10.30, the second about 11 p.m. Clin- ton and Goderich, however, did not have lights until Sunday morning. The 'st'ortml proved but the begin-. ning, dor on Tuesday arrived a sam; .ple of winter. Snow fell throughout the day and the ground was covered. Barns Are Saved. Only the assistance of neighbors and the drizzle of rain Which• was falling at the time, prevented the de- struction of the large barns on the Reynold's farm. Sparks from the burning building repeatedly fell on the barn but were discovered -• in. time. The fire occurred at the same time as Hydro was off and was clearly visible in town. Large numbers drove out to watch the blaze: Damage At Zurich. The storm which passed over this section on Saturday evening did con- siderable damage. A heavy rain fell accompanied byhigh winds. About ten o'clock a miniature cyclone struck parts of the township 'and trees an -1 fences were -laid low in its path. The Iarge barn on the farm of Mr. John Charrette, south • of St. Joseph, was badly wrecked. A wagon and rack in his yard were blown • over and broken. lOn the Blind Line the dwelling on the farm of Mr. H. Clausius was dam- aged, part of .the roof being blown off. ' The telephone Iine west of the Bronson Line was disrupted. Nine poles were broken off and the wires and` cross^ arms were blown into an adjoining field. STAFFA Y. PEOPLE HOLD JOINT MEETING Junior Farmers and Junior W. I. Enjoy Program Put On By Girls. The Staffa Junior Farmers and Junior Women's Institute •met in the township hall last Wednesday even- ing for their regular monthly meet- ing, with the largest attendance of the year. Themembership campaign, which had been in progress since the pre- vious meeting, was a remarkable success, adding a total of 98 new -Members to the roll. Much credit is given all those who worked so dili- gently to get names, but cong•atula- bons go to Misses Mary Allen, who won first prize; Margaret Coleman, second; .Dorothy Gray, third, and _Margaret Allen, fourth. The program for the joint meet- ing was sponsored by the girls this month and was very appropriate and entertaining and much enjoyed by all. Music was furnished on the piano by Miss Vera Allen. Mr. Will McKaig favored with a selection on the ac- cord/urn, and Duncan McMillan sang, accompanying himself on the guitar. After business was attended to a few minutes were spent in community singing. To the passerby it indicat- ed that Junior Farmers are optimistic and happy despite the depression and numlbers from the rvillage stores could not resist going over .to join in the choruses, after which the boys assembled in the basement and they began their separate meetings. The Junior Iinstitute October com- mittee had a particularly interesting program •prepared for the• girls. Miss Mary Allen gave a lengthy and en- couraging reading on "The Girl on the 'Farm," stressing the fact that well-trained farm girls are capable of doing more work for hone and country and have a knowledge of a greater number of trades than girls in any other walk of life. Another interesting and pleasing number was a short lecture and demonstration on "Arranging a• bouquet for thedining room table," given by Miss Grace MOLachlan. Three shades of Cos- mos were used. By special request Miss Margaret Hamilton and Miss Margaret Allen sang a duet, accom- panied by the latter's sister on the piano. IIt \was agreed that each Member make an article before the November meeting as their donation to thebazaar which is to be held early in December. The Junior Farmers' meeting was equally helpful to the boys. Alf. Ross gave an address on "The Care of Farm Machinery," and James Scott gave a lecture on "The Eradication of the W'eitble Fly." For next month Toni Scott has promised a demon- stration on electric wiring. Lunch was then served and danc- ing followed for the remainder of tl{l:::nCw4,? eine Uise k!nd lu;a:ess AGTaa: A,.X,tis.4a.F.W'Ih:,koaa:iaau;ia hill .�,'S/n4i `bniA`v;tefi Seeing England ' The Huron Expositor is Pleased to publish the first of an interesting series of travel letters by , Miss Marion Bell.

"Ascaliia," July 6th. IDear Jean: It's your turn to get the "press letters" this time. I'm so thrilled at the prospect of the return visit that I hope I'll be able to write half way intelligently. This is Thursday and I figteerebiat if I be- gin this epistle to -day it ought to be nearing the finishing line by Sunday when we disembark at 2 p.m., so the Captain tells us. This is the Iife, Jean. We're having a perfectly mar- s ellous time and have met such in- teresting people. The water is like the proverbial mill pond and the weather so fine and clear—in fact, we'sue been wearing our lightest sum- mer clothes on deck all the time. Guess I might as well start back last Friday. Embarking was a regu- lar circus. To begin with, Roxy•abid I lost our baggage in the Montreal baggage room among several corps- es. The 'begs eventually turned up but too late to give us time to ever, snatch any .breakfast. ' Can you pic- ture Dottie waving that yard white arm of •hers a mile into the air as we slowly •puffed out of the harbor? Very shortly we made the acquaint- ance of Mrs. Hodges (promptly christened "Odges") the stewardess, in order to get some coffee. There was a "get -acquainted" dance at night,'but the heat of the river kept it from being very well patronized. A terrific storm broke at dinner time, so that we were delayed until 10.30 in getting to Quebec. That was really too bad. Saturday was a great day, an ex- cellent concoction of deck tennis, shuffle -board, meals and a big July first dance at night with balloons, much serpentine and bunting, good music and better dancing partners. The officers, not to ' mention the Cap- tain, have already christened us "the immortal five." Sunday, of course, found us at divine service at 10.30— a miracle when I tell you that we just made breakfast by ten bells. We had. tea with Dr. M—; he's the .,best sport and we feel quite attached to him. • On the roll call lee answers to '"Angel;" There was the loveliest sunset, beautifully reflected in the glimmering green and white ice- bergs. By midnight we were getting out into the ocean and I don't mind confessing that the boat was begin- ning to make my knees play "Home Sweet Home." Until Monday after- noon all suffered acutely; we were all so glad to welcome the sun again. From that time on it has been per- fect weather, just like a picnic on the sun deck, where we have tea "on the hatch" every afternoon. (Continued on page 4) DUBLIN 'Mrs. G. K. Holland and Mrs. Jas.

HAD 'SIX MINISTERS IOm Sunday, October 29th, Cavan Church, Winthrop, celebrates its fifty-eight .years as an organized church. The 'lite of Cavan Church, as an organized body, goes back to 1875, when in July of that year, a petition for organization as a con- gregation was presented to the Pres- bytery of Huron through the session of Duff's Church, McKillop. The petition was signed by 23 members and 21 adherents of Duff's Church, residing in' the Winthrop district. P'tesbytery on August ,10th, 1875, ,granted the• request, and Rev. Mr. Thompson, pastor of Duff's Church, awes enstitz ted to organize the con- gregation. The Meeting for organization was held in Duff's Church on August 19, 1875. The original members of Cav- an Church were twenty-four in num- ber, of whom, the only one living is Mrs. James Hillen, who resides in theWinthrop district with her son, Calvin Hillen. . The first church built was a large frame structure, and it was opened on December 29, 1875. During the pastorate of Rev. 'Mr. Musgrove, the present church was .,built,. It is the large brick church with stone founda- tion that one passes when travelling on the Seaforth-Brussels. road. Until the time of the Union of the churches in Canada, Duff's Church, McKillop, and Cavan Church, Win- throp, formed a pastoral charge of the Presbyterian Church. At the time of Union in 1925, these two churches entered into Union. They, together with Bethel appointment, form the McKillop pastoral charge of the Unit- ed Church. Throughout the years, the church has had thriving organizations. The Sunday School was organized in 1874 and has been a wonderful power for good in the community. It has had but two superintendents during its long existence. Mr. Andrew Gov- enlock was the first superintendent, and he retained the superintendency for a quarter of a century. Ever since the beginning of the present century, Mr. Thomas Dodds has been the capable and efficient superintend- ent. He has a faithful group of of- ficers and teachers to •'back him in his work. The Young People's Organizations have played a large part in the life of the community. The first Young People's Society was •formed- in 1905. The president of the society at the present time, is Mr. Wilson Little. The first Woman's organization in the congregation began on Septem- ber 18, 1900, and was known as the Ladies' Society of Christian' Work- ers. The society worked both for missions and for the local con'rega tion. In 1915 it became an associat- ed society of the W. M. S., and in 1919 it was organized as a regular auxiliary of the W. M. S. The presi- dent of the woman's organization for the current year is Mrs. Andrew Patrick. Throughout all its history the woman', organization has «orked faithfully. Cavan church has been served by six ministers: Rev. T. Themeon, Rev. P. Musgrove, Rev •. Carswell. Rev. J. A: Ferguson.:'7i"�`r-. Rev. W. F. Smith and the present pastor, Rev. G. E. Morrow, B.A. 'Cavan Church, Winthrop, situated as itis in the heart of Huron County, has had through its many years of organization, an opportunity to in- fluence for good the lives of many. It is ministering to the needs of a large community.

The adoption of flowers by nations of the old world as national symbols goes back to mediaeval times. The lillies of France, the rose of England, the !Scottish thistle all had their ac- ceptance es distinguishing emblems in the conflicts of the past. These blos- soms are, however, restricted in their significance, denoting in general, the adherence of their wearers to some nationalistic group. Not one of them has the universality of the Poppy, nor is any of them (vested with such poignant memories to this genera- tion. The -Poppy has by association with the sacrifices and achieve- ments of a past gen- eration been elevated to a sacredness of character not possess- ed by the flora of any individual nation. The Poppy has become the universal em- blem of sacrifice; the wreath of pop- pies has displaced the laurel of tri- umph because of the deeper elements which it incorporates. Wear a Poppy. To wear a Poppy on Remembrance Day is a national duty, for it marks the wearer as one -who is not uiAmind- ful of the sacrifices that have been made ost his or her lbehaif. 'Throughout Canada, in every city, town and village, under the direction of- Canadian Legion will poppies be offered for sale:' Made by disabled war veterans who depend upon these in large measure for their livelihood, the poppies are emblematic of Can- ada's pride and sorrow. The graves of nearly 50,000 young Canadians in France and Belgium , are carpeted with the red blossoms. The Poppy was ever-present .to their sight in those receding day's of 1915 - 1918; they colored the landscape with a red which darkened orily"in the deeper red of the blood that was shed in or- der that these present wearers might live in Peace. • Duff's Church , Written by Foster T.
