S:. . Woodsworth PICKED UP BY STEAMER Word has just reached here of the Barrow escape of Mrs. Frank Steven, of Hong Kong, the former Miss Doro- thy Gauld, well known to many in this district and in Kipper. Mr. and Mrs. Steven- were residents of Hong Kong, where Mr. Steven was employ- ed as an engineer in connection with airplanes. , Mr. Steven had placed his wife on a planeleaving Hong Kong with the intention of following at the earliest opportunity. • During the trip the plane was attacked and damaged. The bottom fell out of Stevenshe plane and into the ocean. Mrs. ewas hurled into the water but. was able _to swim a little until she came across an in- flated tire which she held on to until she was picked up by a rescue ship and taken to Karachi, India, where here baby was born two days later. Mrs. Stevens was born in Formosa, and is a daughter of Mrs. William Gauld, of Guelph, the former Miss Greta Mellis, of Kippen, who together with her husband the late Rev. Wm. Gauld, were missionaries in Formosa, where he. died. Mrs. -Stevens was in Canada a few years ago and while here was the guest of her cousin, Mrs. Charles Mc- Donell, of Hensall. The life, the ideals and aspirations of the late Mr: Woodsworth, who pass- ed away earlier this year, are.all too little • appreciated by the people of rural "Ontario. Mr. Bruce Hutchin- son, the well known Canadian writer, wrote a very fine tribute to Mr. Woodsworth, part of which is as fol- lows: "Mr. S. S. Woodsworth was a more important figure in Canadian history than most of his .contemporaries re- alized. He *as important for what he represented, rather than his ac- tual accomplishment. He was a sym- bol and a portent of a new day. His- tory will mark him as one of its great milestones in this country. '.He was , an indifferent politician, too scrupulous for political compro- mise, which is the : essence of dem- ocracy; too high-minded for the inti- mate company of -Most • men; too theoretical for the practical workings of parliament. Yet, in an envious way, • he was . precisely the right man, in the right place when he emerged after the Great War. Here in every phase of his character was the prophet of a new idea. He had been martyred for his beliefs in the Winnipeg strike. He had been brutal- ly jailed, as I have heard him say with a twinkle of merriment, for dar- ing to read publicly a few verses from Deuteronomy in the free dem- ocracy of Canada. He had chosen poverty and laborer's work on the waterfront, ' this frail and delicate scholar, this minister of God, rather than seek favor from anyone. 'He was the most Christlike man ever seen in : parliament, and his white beard, his flaming eye, his anger at injustice,- his gentleness''arith every- one, and his deep booming voice of moral protest made him appear like a"p'rophet out of the Old Testament." As last Sabbath, Sept. fith, was Canada's national day of prayer, I take great pleasure in presenting to. the readers of The Huron Expositor a prayer Mr. Woodswo"rth wrote for "Labor Ohilrch," Winnipeg, 1920: Prayer We meat together as brothers and sisters of the one big family. We confess we have not yet learned to live together in love and unity. We have thought too much of our own interests and too little of the common welfare. We have enjoyed and even sought special privileges. Our,. own Fain has ofteta", involved another's loss. Ve are heartily sorry for these, our own misdoings; the memory' of them is grievous 'to us.

FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO Two sheets of- stationery were brought into The Expositor office this week which will have az -'old-time in- terest to many of our subscribers. One was a letterhead of tae Board of Trade, Seaforth, in the year 1900. In the centre of it was ,a, 23 " x 4" cut of the Board's motto, and on either side the officers and council. The 1900 officers were; President, M. Broderick; vice-president, W. T. Box; secretary, W. J. Moffatt; treas- urer, W. D. McLean; council, Robert Bell, ,_ William Pickard, ;H. Stewart, D. J. McCallum G E. Parkes J A Stewart, A. Winter and A. E. Colson. The other was a letterhead of the Seaforth Public Library,"now known as the Carnegie Library. Apparently the new library building' was in pro- spect or in course of erection in 1900, as besides the Library Board there was a Building Committee listed on the letterhead,. The Library board of .that year is given as William Hartry,' president; F. G. Neelin, secretary, and M. Brod- erick, F. J. Burrows, M.D., A. F. Cluff, W. 3. , Duncan, J. Finlayson, J. C. Greig. p Carnegie Public Library Building Committee—M. Broderick, chairman; F. G. Neelin, secretary'; A. F. Cluff and John Finlayson. In recent weeks 'a number of farm ers in various parts of Ontario ` have been prosecuted for using cream cans for other purposes than the delivery of milk or cream to the owners of the cans. This has become an of- fence under the War Measures Act,' and the magistrates of the provinces have not hesitated to impose fines in cases coming before them. At Goderich last week four farmers were fined $10 and costs each for us- ing cream cans to ship milk to a lo- cal cheese factory. At Belleville • a farmer was fined $10 and costs for putting gasoline in a can. At, Bramp- ton recently two farmers were also convicted of offences against the Act. A cheese factory is facing prosecu- tion' this week at Listowel. Since it is an offence to put any- thing but milk or cream into one of these cans, and also an offence to re- tain one of the cans in their posses- .sion, all holders of such cans not cur- rently•iq use should hand them to a local eream truck, and they will be delivered to the owners. Otherwise, prosecution is always a possibility. iE , i1 +YI "ii oF 4( ,,+a 7 �� ia.,.r,�"�. ',,;,,. • FRIENDS HONOUR SEAFORTH OLD BOY AT CALGARY, ALTA. convictions of others.

Gindron Suffers Cuts and Bruises When Car Goes Into Ditch. BABY IN CAR ESCAPED INJURY • •One1 Tuesday afternoon, about 5.30 o'clock, Mrs. John• V. Gindron sustain- ed painful injuries when she lost con- trol of the car' she was driving on No. 8 higaway, about four miles west of Seaforth. Mrs. Gindron had taken her baby girl, Carol, to a Seaforth doctor : er a periodic treatment, and when re- turning home had taken her right hand off the wheel of the ear to ease the baby's head. The car went momentarily out , of control and in bringing it back into line it careened to the opposite side of the road and into the ditch, where it crashed headon into a hydro pole, snapping it off. The car turned over, imprisoning the mother and child in- side. A passing motorist, whose name Mrs. Gindron did not learn, suc- ceeded in releasing her and the baby, and a few minutes later Harold Pick- ett came ' along and ''brought the 'n- jured woman to •Clinton, where Dr. W. t.. Oakes treated her injuries, whic:i 'consisted of lacerations and bruises to the left leg and left arm, and shock from the severe shaking up. The baby received only slight scratch- es to head and face. • The car body. and fenders ,were smashed and the radiator crushed. Provincial- Traffic Officer Culp, of Goderich, was advised by telephone. Mrs. Gindron was able to go to her apartment after"her injuries were at-' tended to. J. V. Gindron, the hus- band, is a radio instructor at the IR.A.F. radio school. Mr. J. Seymour Watson, who forty- one years ago was a well known Sea - forth boy and a valued member of the 33rd Battalion Band when that organization was one of the best in Western Ontario, is at present with Mrs. Watson, ,who was an old Kippen girl, spending a few weeks in Sea - forth and vicinity. 'Forty-one years have made a great difference in the appearance of the town, Mr. Watson thinks. The trees have grown so ,much that they give the streets a different appearance; and there were no pavements in .his day. • Despite that fact, however, he. is getting his bearings again and is really surprised at the number ' of people he remembers and who have recognized him. Previous to leaving Calgary, he was- honored by his business col- leagues, an account of which -•was published by the Calgary Albertan. on September lst, -which we copy: "J. Seymour Watson, former opera- tor of the Alberta Produce Co. Ltd., Calgary, Wllo is returning to his .boy- hood home at Seaforth, Ont., was hon- ored at a banquet in the . Renfrew Club Friday night, attended by many. representatives of Alberta creameries and produce dealers. "Following obis early activities in the butter, egg and poultry business at .different points in Western Can- ada, Mr. Watson organized and oper- ated the Alberta Produce Co. for the past sixteen years. On August 1, the business of the firm was acquired by the provincial government and is now being operated by the Provincial Mar- keting Board. "C. Butcher acted as, toastmaster at the banquet• and presented Mr. Watson with a silver cigarette light- er. He also expressed, in behalf .of his •Colleagues, the feeling of regret that existed <1s a result of Mr, Wat- son's decision to retire from active 'business in Alberta.

When one considers the fact that the people of Seaforth and district have contribut- ed, in addition to this amount, over 26,000 pounds of rubber since collec- tions started in March, it is felt that a very, worthy effort has been made, and Postmaster C. P. Sills and the Seaforth and District Salvage Corps wish to thank all who co-operated in this very necessary rubber •salvage drive. "If you still find some rubber, bring it in town the first time ybu come, and leave it in the doorway of Salvage Headquarters. - . All metal coat hangers are badly needed, as no new ones are now be- ing produced. These are sold as hangers rather than as salvage, and if you will dig up all the old ones you can find for the" next collection, they will help to fill avery definite shortage. All rubber heels are needed for scrap rubber, but PLEASE send in ONLY the heels and not' the entire leather boot. When the entire boot is scut in it requires time removing the heel and expense in disposing of the useless boot. Your help in this little matter will save the committee both time and expense.

Jarrott, to whom the follow- ing article from the Sarnia•Cana:dian Observer has reference, was a form- er Huron boy, born near Hillsgreen, where he received his early educa- tion. Later he attended Clinton high school, London -Normal School and Toronto University: "If one excludes Jack Miner, whose bird - sanctuary at 'Kingsville -.has brought him international fame, there must be a few men in Western On- tario better known as lovers of nature than • Brigden's school'Principal, W. E. Jarr ott. Forester, horticulturist,, geologist and poultryman, Mr. Jarrott has gath- ered unto himself increasing distinc- tion since he first came to Brigd'en thirty-two years ago. His home on the outskirts of the village is one of the beauty spots of Lambton County. "Today a reporter for The Canadian Observer visited Mr. Jarrott to see and learn at first hand something of the various interests that have - brought him fame as a ' naturalist. Around the home in which he and Mrs. Jarrott live, spacious green /awns are edged with deep perennial 'borders, backed by shrubbery and brightened by a summer planting ;of annuals. Here the lover of flowers and shrubs may find not only the ev- ery -day plants to be found in every garden, but many exotic varieties - rarely seen, -and even some hybrids developed by Mr. Jarrott himself. Feathery tamarisk, viburnum, spirea, buckthorn, lilac,. Coster spruce form- ed a perfect background for the riot- ous' color of salvia, phlox, calendula, ageratum, gladioli, alyssum, snapdra- gon and zinnias, to say nothing of dozens of others. "A small orchard gave evidence of many varieties of fruit, chiefly apples. Mr. Jarrott has several Delicibus trees, .a -variety not common in this :part `of" the country.. 'Beyond' the orchard are a number of wood- sample plots. Five or six hundred black walnut trees are to be found in one corner, a reminder of the success which has attended the experiment of those—notably Sir Wit- liam Mulock on his estate near Tor- onto—who have .in recent years gone into walnut production on a large and financially profitable scale. Nearby several hundred Scotch pine have done so well that they - already require thinning. - "A stand of white pine, scientifical- ly spaced, gives clear evidence of the wisdom of planned growth as it is practised in all modern reforestation schemes. Among the pine were set out wire 'boxes containing the larvae of insects supplied by the entomolog- ical branch. of the department of ag- riculture at Ottawa. These insects when'released in the neighborhood of • pine, feed upon other destructive, in- sects that left alone eventually kill tree growth—an application of the old principal of "Set a thief to catch a thief." Mr. Jarrott has maintained a 'close co-operation with the Dominion government in the matter of forestry research. Near his pine plot as a fine stand of Norway spruce. "Walking. through his wood lot, Mr. Jarrott told of how every eve>ling thousands" of birds, starlings and meadowlarks chiefly, seek refuge for the night in its friendly shelter. Pheasants and quail are often seen there as well, and the wood—as well as the whole area west of Brigden is a protected area for game birds. "Next Mr. Jarrott took his visitor to his hennery, where 1,200 layers— White Leghorns and Barred Rocks— provide some 600 dozen eggs a week for Sarnia 'householders. "The Elite Poultry Farm," 'as Mr. Jarrott's es- , tate is known to the business world, has been established by the govern- ment as an official egg -grading sta- tion "Inside his home Mr. Jarrott has gathered a most interesting collection of rocks and rock -minerals native to • this district and leas at his fingertips a wealth of information on the geolo- gical development of the Huronian basin. "A native of Huron County, Mr. Jarrott came to,Brigden in 1910 after completing his education at Toronto, and has been principal of Brigden school ever since. His first interest was in poultry .raising. Later, through lectures in English given to farmers attending short courses in agriculture at Brigden,• he became interested in agricultural science himself, and took it tip as a hobby, with a special in, terest in,tree cultivation and scientific , methods o&reforestation. - Ont of ,this hobby" a further interest in natural science led him to horticulture and mineralogy.
