Message For New Year to Hospital Aid Members By Margaret Rhynas, President of the Ontario Provincial Hos- pital Aids' Association. As we kneel before the Altar of another gift of time ---A New 'Year— may we all feel the need of forgive- ess for past mistakes and omissions rad with the Psalmist plead for guid- ce and help- J' So teach -us to num- our days that we ,array' get us a heart of wisdom.' Never in our time has tire needsbeen greater for—wis- dom, patience, faith and a heart filled with understanding coentpassion for the needs of our fellowmen. Gbd grant that we may be guided aright in the paths we pursue, and i nay we during these arrsaieue times—give of our- •' -selves and succour to cheer and .com- fort . those who are cast down—and in need. Let us 'give the milk of hu- man kindness along the way — that lonely ones may be made glad. 'We 'hear much these days of Peace end ways and means for world Peace. The world cannot have peace until the individual has 'peace in his heart. I wonder—if -we do not too often de- pend on poor weak earthly ways and Means to this end. '`God ds our re- fuge and 'strength, a very present help in trouble—does it not then be- hoove us to anchor our faith in His Eternal promises, and bo see beyond the present disasters the possible purposes of—God. Who but Christ can bind this torn and discordant world together? We have tried ex= perim+ents of diplomacy, trade, secu- lar education and many other means, Wad all have proven unequal to the task. Yet we are told—."And I if be lifted up from the earth will draw all nen- unto me." Fellow-'workers—let us, as we lis- ten for' the. foot fall bf 'this New clean year pledge ourselves to pray more earneetly, to strive more faith- fully for the goodwill of a111 Mankind —let tis start within our own hearts to create the nucleus of a new league for Pear--'Le't us do our part in bringing about a lasting Peace—and may our watt'& word for this year be "goodwill toward. all . Men." If yourr life le unselfish, if for others you lave, it is not bow Mach you can get; but. how moth you can give -4I you live close to God—in His Infiinne Grace, you wont have bo tell}—it iifll show hi yourface.

Goderich defeated ,Seaforth. 9-3 at 'Seaforth the week before, but since then Manager A. W. Dick has plan- ned some different Plays that proved successful against the Sailers. The McMillan Cup Series' started pput with. two' interesting games on Saturday night. St. Columlban took first tussle 5-4 from Tuckersmith, and` Winthrop was nosed out 'by Ecrmond- ville 1-0 in the second game. There is 'a .great deal of interest in the hockey -this -winter and with the numerous' teams to choose from there will be some .excitieg games yet to come. The Juniors have won two and lost none, so are in a fair posi- tion to win the group honours. , Baby Beeves 6, Clinton Colts 4 MANLEY The Junior NNH.L. team won. their second straight victory by defeating Clinton 6-4 on the local ice on Thurs- day, January ,11th.

P., -.Chair- man of the Public Utility- Com- mission of Seaforth. To the Editor of The Expesator: Dear Sir: Having' the report of the inaugural ;meeting of Our town council befor'e=me; l must confess that I have read with amazement some ;of the statements contained therein. 'A11 who were present at the nom- •ination meeting will recall that His Worship spoke very highly of the splendid position of our local Hydro System. !His Worship was quite correct in his observations, and the ratepayers present were undoubtedly glad to, re- ceive such a favorable report: Ho'w- ever,- we -surely agree' that this posi- tion was not attained as a result of this last year's management alone, but it is the result of careful manage- ment since its inception- here nearly 23 years ago. Quite a numlbcr from here attend= ed the annual meeting of the Mc- Killop, Logan & Hihsb-rt Telephone do. last Wednesday in Dentin, which went off quietly, all the old ofYicials being re-elected by acclamation. Many subjects of interest were •discussed as to ways and means to collect de- linquent tolls and rentals, but the standing of the Company is good as they were able to declare a di v idemi of six per cent. to the shareholders. A resolution of co'ndolenc'e was sent the family of the late Henry Benne- wies, who had served as lineman since 1907. It is twenty-five years since the company was incorporated. Mrs. Thomas Purcell and young son have returned home from Scott Memorial 'hospital, Seaforth. We are still in the grip of winter and sleighing is ideal, but car traf- fic is tied up on the back roads. We are sorry to learn that Mrs. Jerry O'Hara is under the weather and hope for her speedy recovery. DUBLIN A large number of shareholders attended the annual meeting of the McKillop, Logan and Hibbert Tele -- phone Company held in Looby's Hall on Wednesday afternoon.- Conrad Eckert, of Seaforth, was; in the chair. The financial statement was read, showing a successful year and it was decided to pay a 6 per cent. dividend. The old officers were returned: A. A. 'Colqu.houn, •Secretary -Treasurer; Jno. Bemire ries, President; John Murray, Vice-president; Directors, Robert Burchill, John Holland, James Scott, Joseph Worden. J. V. McGrath, of Windsor, spent the 'week end with his brother, Timis iMoG•rath, and other relatives. Mrs. H. •Brickliitn sp'en't a few days in London. . When speaking of Hydro in Sea - forth, one's mind naturally `'Koen 'tsa-ck to the time when ex -Magor Daly, Mr. 3. C. Greig and blie Iate ex -Mayor McCallusms, who were the committee appointed, by council to kead the ram paign in an endeavor .to pass our Hydro- bylaw in the year 1911. 'My information is to the effect that for about 20 of the nearly 23 years of hydro in Seaforth, Mr. Daly was a member of the local Comanis'sion, and I understand that for a:bout 18 years was its Chairman. It was' he, assist- ed by OAT Clerk and other members Who cradled and nursed this utility front its ,infancy: In view of :VI -e., Daly's: -record I think every citizen is fair enough and generous enough to give to him a great deal of the credit for: the -position .of our system which received such favorable comment from the Mayor. As Chairman of the.; Commission for 1933; I also endeavored at our nomination meeting to give our citi- zens a report of our•prese'rrt• standing and to explain our position with Av- on Chests. The explanation I gave regarding our position -with Avon Chests was strictly . in accord with • information and advice received from our solici- tors, 'who, of course, have had charge of this. In addition I did endeavor to give a full report regarding our bill with Avon Chests before bankruptcy proceedings were taken at all, and I am exceedingly sorry that if any had questions to ask or charges bo make that it was not done at the nomina- tion meeting. cIIARLESIIOLMES RE- ELECTED CHAIRMAN. PUBLIC SCIIOOLBOARD Other Appointments Made At Inaugural Board Meeting. SAME COMMITTEES • Charles Holmes was re-elected.. Chairman of the Public 'School 'Board at its inaugural 'meeting on Wednes- day evening. The motion re-electing Mr. HQloles was. moved and seeored- ed by Trustees R. Joynt and R. Archibald, respectively. ' The meeting, which was brief, was the first since the board was return- ed, by ,acclain'ation a few weeks ace°. Trustees, F. W. 'Wigg and W. A. _Wright were -.absent. On ;rn tion of Trustees Archibald and Joynt, M. McKellar was appoint- ed secretary -treasurer. - Last year's Property and Supply Ccmmittee:s will also act during the present year.

Archibald, F. W. Wigg. .Other business done by the Board included the appointment of John Finlayson to the Public Library Board and Charles. Barber to the Collegiate Institute Board. Robert Archibald was appointed truant officer on motion of Trustees McKellar and Joynt. 'rhe Board adjourned on motion of Trustees Joynt and Archibald. His Worship spoke of our financial position, of thecondition of_ the sys- tem, and a splendid tribute was also paid to the integrity and capabilities of our employees. This, of course, was all to the good. In view of the reference made to our Hydro system at that "'time, I am sure • that many would be astonished, as I surely was, to read His Worship's re':r:arks to Council.. According to your report, the May- or in referring to the P. U. C., re- marked; "I am not notified about meetings; they (the P. U. C.,) meet without me. I try to do my best for the town and do more than many others. I leave my personal interest alone and.think only of the town. It seems funny to me is'sui g a write against the Credit Men's Association who are wording en our behalf." "A Councillor: Doesn't look like a square deal. "It isn't," excitedly ex- claimed the Mayor. "I get slammed right and left, but as long as I am Mayor I will do 'my best for the town." Now, Mr. Editor, as a member of the Comhnission for 13 consecutive years, I feel that I am iii a position to speak a word en 'behalf of those who have been my associates during these years. In that time I have been associated with Mr. Daly for 11 years, Mrs J. J. Cluff for 12 years, Mr. Parke 1 year, and Mr. Box and our Mayor for the year 1933. In my as- sociation with all these gentlemen, I have found them all endeavoring to do exactly as the Mayor claims he is endeavoring to do, namely: Work in thg best interests of the town. We have not always 'been..in entire agree- ment; that surely cannot be expect- ed, but we have endeavored to let the majority rule on all questions under consideration, and as a result, harm- ony has prevailed. His Worship clairma that he gets slammed right and left. This, in my opinion, of course. is entirely imag- inary, as "one could hardly conceive (Continued on page 4) Seaforth 2, Goderich 0 The Beavers turned the tables on the Goderich Sailors by whitewash- ing them 24) in Goderich on Friday, January 12th. It was a fairly clean game throughout and both teams strived hard. Seaforth notched their two counters in the first six minutes of play with G. Rennie and Bucknam beating Doake with hot shots. From then until the close of the gan'te, there was no more score. The ice was fairly heavy and play was rather ragged on this account at times, but neither team let up trying and it was a struggle all the way. It was a surprise to all since Gode- rich hasn't been beaten on. their home ice iii about four years. Since the last game Manager A. W. Dick has worked out some new modes -tHf at- tack and with these in mini the team played a different brand of hockey that proved very effective. Norfolk, of Stratford, refereed.

SOINE PHASES OF A MUNICIPAL AUDIT "Municipal A c c o unts and the Chartered Accountant" By Alfred Byron Shysard, F: C.A., Toronto.. Ontario. This is the second in a series of articles on municipal audit- ing, which The Huron Exposi• tor will run from time to time.
