Dr. F: A. Clarkson, Son of
Former 'S.C.I. Principal,
Gives Interesting Talk.
DISCUSSIES HEALTH
Dr. F. A. Clarkson, well known Tb-
ronto specialist and on of a former
highly este,em'ed principal of the Sea -
forth Clollegiate Institute„ paid a
friendly visit to his old home town
and gave an intensely interesting ad-
dress under the auspices of the Home
and Sclhio'ol Club in the Collegiate In-
etitute on Monday 'evening. His sub-
ject was on °Healtih Pi-olblems in
Middle Age." The !president of the
Club, Mrs. Charles Holmes, presided.
A short.'but pleasing program incl'uca
ed longs by ,Missy Turnib t•11„s class in
the public school; vb'cal duet, Ruth
Cliff and. Mary. Holmes; piano said,
Jack Mills.
Dr.. Clarkston referred to the host
of recollections that came to his mind
since he stolod• in the team in valid h
he now spoke, 35 years ago. He also
paid a Mei tribute to the memory of
the late Dr.Charles Mackay who .was
his first preceptor in medicine.
f'Thelre are many advantages of
middle age,” the speaker conti'n'ued,
"When we are. past the rebellious
stage et lifflk' and. have' become mellow-
ed down. Jowett said the happiest
periods of his life were between 60
. and 70 and 70 and 80. The changes
going on in the system are perfectly
natural. ,The ;physiological problem
is just 'as normal as the falling of
the leaves to -clay. It is a, disease
when nt comes to early. A man is
as old as his arteries. Heredity is a
most impoetant thing: We are more
indebted to our father's and grand-
fathers than we are willing to admit.
Wlhen young we think environment
the essential thing. When we get
to middle age we realize "the power
of heredity, strength and age come
from our ancestors."
He spoke 'otf the serious deterior-
ation that is going on in the home
life of the cities and towns and the
great inexeralbie law of keeping up
With the Joneses. People were not
getting enough sleep, he cautioned.

Clinton Entertains

An enjoyalble evehdng was spent in
Clinton, last Thursday, October 17th,
when the Ctbim'ton' Junior Women's
Institute invited the Seafortth branch
to be present with them at their
October meetting.
After singing the Institute Ode,
all repeated the Lord's Prayer. The
troll call was quite humorously an-
swered by "s•onte incident from my
public school days." After a few
business ma't'ters' were cii;cussed, all
sang ,"0 Canada." •
'Mr. E. C. Beacom; B.A. Public
School Inspector for West Huron, of
GOde was the guest speaker of
the evening. His, talk on "Proposed
Changes in the On'tari'o Educational
System" was listened to with great
attention.
A "ge't-a'cquaintted" contest was
then held, after which Thelma Eigie
gave an interesting report on the
Guelph 'C'onven'tion.
After some community 'singing,
Irene Bouton, winner of Girls' Garden
and Canning Club, 'told about her gar-
den.
Two ,guitar stoles by Elinor Mac -
Innes, of Clinton, were much enjoy-
ed.
The Clinton girls ars hostesses for
the evening, s'erv'ed a delicious lunch
after which the meeting was ad-
journed.

SCOUTS CO-OPERATE
IN SELLING TICKETS
Will Canvass Town to Help
Lions Crippled Chil-
dren's Fund.
Arrangements have been made
whereby members sof the local troop
of Boy Scouts will co-operate in sell-
ing tickets in aid of Crippled Chil-
dren and other Lions Club commun-
ity welfare activities.
In this connection the following
will be,.of interest:
"Ta the Public: The Lions Club
need 3 our financial aid this year more
than ever before.
During the past year the Seafarth
Lions Club expended .aver $1,100,00
on crippled children's work. The
Club also built a cement swimrming
pool at the Lions 'ark casting $2,000,
$;'00 of this arneount going in wages
to
Seaforth workmen, and supplied
over 6,000 pints of milk to needy
,:hi'ldren.
The Lions Club are preparing for
a l iutistmas tree also Christmas
cheer, provide sweaters, mitts, hose,
rubbers, shoes, etc., bring Santa
Claus in a substantial way to every
needy child.
A cheek up of tickets sold to date
discloses the fact that a great many
people in Sea:forth have not yet made
their purchases, and many who per-
haps would be willing to eontritbu`e
further have only purchased one 25
cent ticket.
In order that every one may have
an
epportunity to contribute to this
•..orthy cause, the Boy Scouts will
make a house-to-house canvass on
Saturday morning. Buy a book of
tickets—we need the money.

There was a good attendance

The Universal Symbol
There has developed under the aus-
pices of the Canadian Legion, the
annual observance of Poppy Day,
n,aw eanctifiesd in the Canadian nand
as one set aside far the remembrance
not only of the dead but of the liv-
ing. Year after year the duty of
Canadians to identify
the'm.selves with the
work of Poppy Day
becomes increasingly
borne in upon therm.
The flaming emblem
of sacrifice has come
to mean se nnrch
more than a "tag
day," for • a "tag
day" it is emphatically not.
Tho Poppy is a universal symbol,
sed but inspiring. It recalls those
s'he'll -pitted fields of F]'afndet•s be-
neath when surface lie the mortal
remains of tlhat gallant company who
fcug.ht the gaol fight and, giving all
bequeathed to us a task that can-
not end until peace and good will
triumph aver hatred. How little we
have progressed along that path is
patent now; but this generation has
striven, and :striven hard, to fulfill
its task.
The Poppy also recalls the multi-
tude of mutilated men whom the re-
morseles's exigences of modern com-
mercialism have driven to despair
The wo'un'ded 'v'e'terans of the Crus-
advs, we are told, became outcasts
from their fellows: they were "un-
clean." The soldiers of the Iron
Duke were graeiiously accorded lic-
ense to beg. Something better is
done these drays; but mush remains
to be done. 'Meanwhile therre is in
Canada a vast army of heroic 901.115
who must he assisted, and sortie
mast:m're of aid i$ afforded 'by Poppy
Day.
