Mead Of Cattle Sell For
Over $27,000.
Livestoclt," ,=elements and chat-
tels on the fa �; 'of Harold Wilson,
Dublin, brought' $38,400 in one of
the largest clearing auction sales
ever held in Dublin district. Mr.
Vfdtlson's farm is situated, in Mc-
Killop Township, .at the northwest
corner of the village.
Leading feature of the sale was
the disposal of the 110 head of beef
cattle in the Wilson stables. In-
cluding much young stock and a
number of calves, the cattle
brought a total of $27,500. One two-
day -ole calf was sold for. $86,•

them in excellent conditions
brought prices close to the list
prices of new machinery. A. binder
went for $450, and a seed .drill for

The well-equipped farm and well -
fisted stables on 'the wilson place
were the outward evidence of a
real success story. In the:depres-
bion years of the early 1930's, Mr.
Wilson was financially ,wiped out,
aad lost the farm he then had in
Hibbert Township. Simply on the
/strength of his reputation for hon-
esty and hard work, he was able
to get started again on the farm
from which he has dew retired.
Neighbors helped him get started
again 15 years ago, because they
had faith that Harold Wilson• would
make tltings go.
The Wilson auction was the cen-
tre
entre of interest Tuesday for an areal

lin. By mid-afternoon, cars were

— ' On B.C. Conditions
Mr. J. W. Dolmage, Ladner, B.C.,
in renewing his subscription to The
Huron Expositor, commented on
conditions in British Columbia
during the bast year, He says:
"We had a good winter; the
ground was white with snow about
five times, and it was down to 12
degrees above zero. Had lots of
rain, but as we are four feet below
sea level there is not any danger
of a flood here. The land is good
for farming. Last summer oats
averaged better •than 120 bushels
to the acre, and bay up to seven
tons. The price of land is np; a
farmer refused $60,000 for a 75 -acre
farm, and taxes run around $12.04)

Octogenarians Mark
Birthdays Quietly
John J. McGavin, of Walton,
quietly marked his 86th birthday
on Wednesday, when he was enter-
tained at a dinner party at the
home of his son and daughter-in-
law. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon McGavin,
McKillop.
Members of the family were pre-
sent. Mr. McGavin is in good
health. It is 33 years ago last
month since he first started ship-
ping cattle. and he is still active
in that business.
Mrs. Euphemia McNichol, a for-
mer highly esteemed resident of
McKillop, marked her 81st birthday
on Tuesday at the `home of Mr. C.
H. Addicott, Goderich St. East,
Mrs, McNichol is in splendid
.health and her motto is: "Have
good health and be happy." The
evening was spent in renewing old
acquaintances and • social chat. A
dainty luncheon was served during
the evening.
the first in July. From July 9 to
July 27, according to the schedule
as it stands now, the conversion
crews will be working in the rural
areas of Hay, Stephen and I's -
borne Townships. adjoining Exe-
ter.
'rhe month of August is to be
devoted by the conversion crews to
work at Grand Bend and other
summer resorts along the lake-
front. The conversion plan has
been arranged so that the crews
will be in Grand Bend when cot-'
tagers will be there on vacation.
and the greatest possible number
of property owners will be on the
spot to co-olierate in the conver-
sion work.
For the same reason, the in-
ventory of electrical appliances
that has' to precede the conversion
is to be done at Grand Bend just
before 1 h actual conversion, in-
stead of several weeks before, as
at other peaces. At Grand Bend the
conversion d rectors plan to use
one hulinay month, July, for in-
ventory, and the other holiday
month, August,•for conversion. At
any other time of year they would
find mar,, Grand Bend hydro users
absent, and their cottages locked.
Once the work at Grand Bend
has been completed, the conversion
effort is expected to be directed to
the rural lines in • the northwest
corner of the Exeter rural operat-
ing area, in and around the ham-
lets of Zurich and Dashwood. The
first week of September will prob-
ably be devoted to conversion in
the Zurich -Dashwood area.
The Clinton area is scheduled to
be converted starting early in Sep-
tember; Goderich, and then Mit-
chell, are to follow Clinton.

Current Year.
The Seaforth Home' and Scheel
Association was reorganized Tues-
day evening after about 15 years
of dormancy. Dr. P. L. Brady, a
member of the school board, is
more or less• responsible for bring-
ing
ringing the club back to life. The last
executive included: President, Mrs.
Chas. Holmes; secretary, Mrs J.
B. Russell, and treasurer, Mrs. W.
S. Hay. •
Principal D. N. Eastman welcom-
ed the parents and visitors to the
tweeting, saying that such an or-
ganization contributes much to the
relationship of teacher and pupil,
as well as to the good of all.
F. E. Willis, chairman of the
school board, welcomed all to the
meeting, and expressed his opinion
that all should avail themselves
of the privilege of being a member
of the association. He said he felt
the club would be most helpful
due to the fact that the building
of a new school was in the offing.
Dr, P. L. Brady spoke of his ap-
preciation to the Provincial and
Federal Boards of Education for
aeir help in reorganizing.
Mrs. Eric Munroe was appointed
secretary for the evening, Miss M.
E. Turnbull of the staff entertain-
ed with Irish airs.
Mr's. L. Winkler and Mrs. Ryan,
London, representatives of the
Home and School Federation of
Canada, explained the purposes of
a Home and School organization,
and told of its many accomplish-
ments in other centres. Also ex-
plained were its creed, what it
stands for. and its aims. It is a
non-commercial non-sectarian and
non-partisan unit. A home and
school organization must endorse
no commercial products, no adver-
tising, favor no creed, and must
play an important part in the
spiritual and ethical program of
the home, school and community.
It should deal with all the prob-
lems of the child and create a
service to child, parent, teacher
and community.
After a full explanation had been
made and questions discussed, it
was decided to reorganize a d
adopt. the .
.. ar.P i tint-.. ;,.
the Provincial and Federal Home
and School organization. The name
chosen was the Seaforth Home and
School Association,
The membership fee was set and
each executive member was to re-
ceive a copy of Home and School
l'ainphiet from the funds obtained
through membership fees. There
were about 45 in attendance, in-
cluding staff and board members.
Nominations resulted as follows:
President. Mrs. W. T. Teals; vice-
presidents, Mrs, D. N. Eastman,
Mrs, D. R. Stewart, Mrs. F. Kling:

roe; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
