The board of directors endorsed the following resolution from the Huron Presbytery Laymen's As- sociation. While the resolution was endorsed, some of the mem- bers wondered why only farmers were mentioned: "Whereas the practice of con- ducting farm operations on Sun- day, such as tilling the soil, har- vesting, combining, etc., is becom- ing prevalent in this Presbytery of Huron, be it resolved that we, the Lay Association of Huron Pres,by- tery of the united Church or Can- ada, call upon all Christian people throughout the Presbytery to re- fra'n from, and not in any way Countenance, such labor^ on the Sabbath. "Our pioneer forefathers could sew their fields and could cut their crops with the scythe and cradles, and harvest them without resort- ing to Sunday labor. Surely we, in this highly mechanized age, with all our equipment could do sio without desecrating 'the day. "We are in Imminent danger of losing the heritage of our Chris- tian Sabbath, that ol)ir forefathers have passed down to us. A day agent in rest and quietness, and Worship, fie surely what this age heeds in these feverish times,. We its this day greatly needy to learn that pian doee iliot live by bread ale t i." e Minister Louis St. Laur 1 11 Visit Huron -Perth Centre TO' SPEAK HERE Teddy Howell, 14 -year-old.

H. .GLENN HAYS ADDRESSES LIONS Gives Impressions of Can- adian West Gained While in R.C.N.V.R. "My Impressions of Western Canada" were given by H. Glenn Hays at the regular meeting of the Lions Club Monday evening. MT. Hays formed his impressions from experiences gained during his ser- vice in the West with the R,C.N. V.R. He found that -there existed the traditional jealously and coveteous- ness between the Easterners and the Westerners, based to a great extent on the fact that the eastern part of Canada seemed to be more blessed with the country's natural resources and wealth. Th•espeaker made an imagin- ary trip from Winnipeg, the gate- way of the north, to the Rocky Mountains. In his travels he com- pared the West with the East in respect to its ,cities, towns, peo- ples (and customs. lee said that Winnipeg was a comparatively new city which has grown tremendous- ly in the last .half ' century. It is the focal point of the West. Win- nipeg is a large distribution cen- tre, with clean, wide streets and cosmopolitan in its outlook. Tte hospitality of its people is excel- lent. In a summary of his addiress, Mr. Hays said the cities, of the West exceeded! ours as a place to live, but that there wa,s a great lack of towns like those in the east. The towns of the West have generally sprung up like mush- rooms. There is no organization, nig town planning and the people have become clanish. in their liv- ing. There is no assimilation in their way of •life. Mr. Hays con- cluded with,-sayieg .that thig part of Ontario in which we ourselves are living is the last bastion of the Anglo-Saxon race. In 1t there has been little infiltration of any for- eign element, and the people are still tolerant with each other. John Beattie favored the club with two of his poems, "Reverie" and "Fishing," accompanied by J. M. Scott, who provided a back- ground of music. The meeting was under the joint chairmanship of Harold Jackson and J. G. Mullen. HOLDS SOCIAL The Seaforth Order of the East- ern Star enjoyed a social evening Thursday last, it being the official visit of Mrs. Weld, D,D.G.M., of In- gersoll.

It is expected that he will stop briefly at each place to make acquaint- ances and say a few words. . For the exact time of his arrival at his various stops, see the sche- dule on Page 4.
