"The spirit of the people on these

loss, it only .serves to make the in-
habitants more determined• than ever
to see this• thing through to they end,"

Major McTavish'weites as follows: -
Errgland, 5-6-41.
•
Dear Keith: The, fame of the Sea -
forth Beaver"s ria The Huron Exposi-
tor, has travelled many miles and I was
pleased. indeed -to see the boys'cotne
through and finish •on top of the heap.
I see a copy of The Exepositor very
once in .a while, and was delighted in-
deed to get the one telling of the
famous victory of the hockey teem..
I will never forget the•;night in 1933
when we journeyed to ...Clinton and
beat them, there: I always felt. that
i,vae a stepping stone toward,a a cham-
pionship, and only regret that I watt
not there this year to cheer the boys
on when they won in the tight to the
last and won the last battle:
We are passing through gran days
over here these times, but like the
Reavers, we will ell ,play hard and
there is no doubt in any once., mini
c, ho will win the last victor;".
. It seems a long time now since
we used to slip down to the rink due
it.g i an afternoon and "sweep" the
etoues over the hog line. I often
think of the many good times I'had
•when I was veith you in Seafo:th end
the many kind friends I' tete there.
This is a wonderful country over
here, but, of course, the best° part is
in the northern half of the Island. I
am sure 80 per ;cent. of the leave pass-
es I sign are to Boiiny'Seotlar.d. where
hospitality, unlike any place else on
earth, awaits you.
The spirit of the people on these
Islands is unbeatable. Although the
ruthless destruction of the beautiful
and ,historic buildings is a grievous
loss, it only serves to make 1140 i:t-
habitarits more determined, than ever
to see this thing through to the.end.

issued by the Minister of National
Defence, urging men of military age
to .enlist in, the Caned= Active Army.
The proclamation was delivered to

stock. Lieut. Lawson was accompan-
ied ba a platoon of sixty men' from
the Woodstock camp.
The soldiers• arrived in Seaforth a
few xutnutes befo a noon in lorries and
acrompanied byadespatch riders 'tad
a ,bugler. Leaving the lorries •at the
corner of Main and Goderich Strcets,

towu officials. While the mien pres-
ented arms Mayor Cluff read the pro-

"In 'Canada's early days• when . free-
dom was threatened . the system of
cal'linrg• the citizenry to the defence of
their homes was for. a horseman to
gallop to the outlying districts, with
an official proclamation) that, was to
be read' to the public from the town
ball steps,” an annountnent by the
Department of Defence said.
"Today, when Canada's freedom is
again being threatened, the same .sy s-
temas being used, but with .a modern
twist."
Terming•the proclamation a modern
"call to arms," the announcement said
great cities had replaced' pioneer set-
tlements and modern military vehicles"
had • •repiaced',,,herses, but the "need
for men and urgency of the situation"
remained..,
"With. that view in 'mind," it con-
tinued, "national defence headquarters
has µissued- teeeniodein ..+proclantsetien
calling Canadians to arms."

Congregation Presents
Mr. Chandler With Purse
On Friday, June 27th, a strawberry
festival was held at St. Andrew's
Church, followed by a first-class' con-
cert presented by Paul Brothers -of
Kirkton, Mrs. Paul, the mother of
the boys, was the competent pianist,
and Miss Green, of Exeter, the reader
of the evening. The program moved
with unflagging interest from begin-
ning to end: The Paul family, will
surely be welcome again. Towards
the close the program was interrupt-
ed by Mr. T. N. Forsyth, who read a
farewell address to Rev. and, Mrs. E.
F. Chandler, while Mt`. J. H. Cochrane
presented a wellefilled purse on behalf
of the church and congregations sof
Hillsgreen and Kippen.
Tile address was as follows:
Kippers, Ont.. June 27, 1941.
Dear lir. Chanaller and Mrs. Chandler:
We desire on this occasion, when
so many of our church members. and
adherents are gathered together. 10"
express, though feebly and inadequate-
ly, certain feelings which are over-
whelming u:+. They are mixed feelings
of pride and gladness, regret and dis-
appointment. ,
For -eight years you have been 'our
faithful minister. It was the wish and
hope of many of us that you might re-
main amongst us'for many years to
come. We recognize, however,' that
'a decision has been made to make this
'impossible, and which will work out;
we hope, to the advantage of your
family.
' However, we cannot but express our
disappointment and sorrow that this
change must take place, for a itch
friendship arid admiration has grown
up between us during the years, and
we are going to....rniss thou from our
church and •Community.
We have derived great .profit from
your work •amongst us as out minis-
ter. Oliver Goldsmith, speaking 61
the country preacher, said this:
"Remote from' towns he , ran • his gods
ly race,
Nor .e'er had changed, icor wished to
change bis ,pierce; •
Unpractised he to 0i
li� t •sd+9lt :der

to prize ,.
More bent to raise the wretched than
to rise.". •
Now Goldsmith has not only pictur- .
ed a village preacher that he knew, .
but he his portrayed one that we have
known for many years. You have
been content in our midst, believing
that there was work to do here, and
you hazre carried on your. ministerial
duties with `diligence, faithfulness and.
efficiency; and we. know `that you
would not Seek to change youf- place,
but for the educational needs of your
family.
We wish to thank you for your'
many inspiring rnessages•from the pul-
pit. . They have been ,strong, fresh,.
challenging and convincing, giving.
constant evidence of a well furnished,
well trained mind, wide reading, con-
structive and progressive. thought.•
But apart from,your successful work
as a minister, we esteem you highly
as a man to be trusted, and a worthy
citizen. ace have never assumed a
superior air, but have been kind, and _,
friendly to all. We have admired your ,
frankness•, your honesty, your toler-
ance, your magnanimous spirit and
your truthfulness. Charles Dickens,
said:
"There is nothing safer or
stronger in an emergency of life than •
the simple truth." Because you hairs
been, a man amongst us, we are going
to Miss your companionship.
We also desire to say a word, of es-
teem and affection to Mrs. Chandler.
You, have done what -you could to help
forward the life of our church. •In -
'deed your gracious•8nrfluence an:kligst
ns cannot be expressed in a single
sentence. You have just been your-
self, always the eaine modest, Co4op-
erative, dependable and' a latelegse
worker in al11 the, w:omen's;. org alta-
bone of our church. lteu We bed
