cluded the busiest Christmas sea-
son it has had in a number of .

Seaforth Man Goodwill
Ambassador For Florida
An 82 -year-old Canadian newspap-
erman is one of Jacksonville's big-
gest boosters and its a safe bet that
some stogies are going out of this
city telling of its tourist -drawing
possibilities, says the Jacksonville
(Fla.) Journal, in a recent issue.
IHIe is F. 'G. Neelin, of Seaforth,
Ontario. Attached to The Huron Ex-
positor, he is also a contributor to
other periodicals.
One would have thought they were
listening to a Florida editor extoll on
tbhis State's value as a tourist h:.ven
to hear Mr. Neelin talk. And it was
mostly about Jacksgnville that he
spoke, too.
A winter visitor to Florida for
several years, he has wintered here
for the last three years.
"The beauty of tide weather here,"
he said, "is that it is so ranch like
Our own June and July weather,
which is most pleasant. The tourist
does not seek necessarily warm
climes, slut rather weather similar
to his ,own' favorite season of the
year." •'
"You ear* say too much about this
city's chances at becoming a tourist
attractdbn," • he said.
No journalism schools furnished
newspapers with reporters, in the
days when Mr. Neelin began Ms
career. It was the same process for
every one—start out as a printer's
devil and if you showed any writing
ability you became a reporter.
While a youth he began serving
his newspaper apprenti'ces(hip on the
Sarnia Canadian, a weekly sheet.
The States attracted him soon af-
terwards. Work on the Chicago In-
ter -Ocean, St. Louis Globe -Democrat,
New Orleans Picayune and Florida
Times (now Florida Times -Union) as
a compositor is listed in his newspaper
life.
He was employed in Jacksonville
in 1873. Carpet bagging was still
prevalent. This was the year of the
gr eat financial panic.
Founder of the Seaforth Sun in
1878, he retained active management
of the paper until 10 years ago.
The 'highlights of the journalistic
world While an active editor was
Horace Greel(ey's work as an editor
and, the invention), of the • 1ii.naty!pe
machine.
"Why they scoffed 'at tthe idea of
the linotype," he said. "How in the
world can they put brains into ma-
chines was the question every one
asked."
!Mr. Neelin has not kept printer's
ink on his hand all the time, howev-
er. Though engaged in writing pur-
suits he was connected for 37 years
with the Canadian government in
Seaforth at' a coli!ector of customs
and ,istlaSod -revenues.
His latest contribution to period-
icals will be an article which he has
prepared for the lOntarito4 Literary
Review on the Seaforth Carnegie Lib-
rary.
After a season of tounisthig here
Mr. Neelin again will become one of
Jaokasonville's unofficial good will am-
bassadors to Canada.

Largest Amount Involved is
in Appeal of Robt. Bell
Engine & Thresher Co.,
. Ltd.
TWO APPELLANTS
ARE REPRESENTED
'Members of the town cowrcil sat
as a court of revision on appeals
against the assessment roll on Mon-
day evening.
Six appeals we're entered' against
the assessment and two were grant-
ed. The largest amount involved was
in the appeal of The Belll Engine &
Thresher Co., Ltd. The assessment

with the fixed assessment under which
the company has been operating for
some years and the renewal of which
was prevented by recent legislation.
Only two of the six appellants were
represented at the court.
Motions were; as follows:
Moved by I. Hudson, seconded by
Robt. W. Eberhart, that Bell Engine
& Thresher Co. assessment on plant
i reduced to $11,200.00 on land and
_ uildings, • and• $6,720.00 on business.
'Moved by J. J. Broderick, seconded
by Robt. W. Eber(h•art, that McClure,
Case, Cardno and Cameron appeals
be not granted.
Moved by I. Hudson, seconded by
J. J. Brcd•eri'ck, that Miss M. Gilles -
pie's assessment on house on North
Main Street be reduced to $2,800.
Moved by I. Hudson, seconded by
J. J. Broderick, that the assessment
roll for 1935 as amended be confirm-
ed.

Cavan Church
On Sunday evening last a ca
service was held when the choirs and
congregations of Duff's, Caven and
Bethel jctimed at. Caven Church. The

awe of the coming of Christ. Miss

BACK' ROADS BLOCKED
Although two weeks atgn.' every in-
dication pointed to a green Christ-

wise and last Friday commenced an
offensive that has resulted in plenty
of snow.
Roads in the southwest part of the
county were •blocked to wheeled traf-

don Road was practically at a stand-
still until the highway plough had
made a trip and opened the road.
Since Friday snow has continued
to fall, although the immediate Sea -
forth district has not had as big a
fall as many other parts of the coun-
ty. Blocked roads between No. 4
