fen Frolic Deserves Public Support
',Annual Hallowe'en Frolic
h byd t nh ee x St e oWe rd tnhe Is jo yn s eClub
_
e pUrpose of the frolic is of
One two -fold. It provides an alter-
tive to the uncontrolled Hallowe'en
elebrations that were at one time a
feature of the end of October by of-
fering an interesting program for
the youth of the district.
But just as important is the oppor-
tunity which the evening provides
for the public generally to partici-
pate in and contribute to the wel-
fare work and community projects
for which the Lions Club has assum-
ed responsibility.
There is a particular significance
attached to this year's frolic in that
proceeds will assist in financing the
construction of the new Lions pool,
the operation of which proved so pop-
ular during the past summer. De-
spite the cold, wet weather that fea-
tured so many of the summer days
there were 11,845 swims enjoyed in
the pool. This attendance indicates
beyond doubt -the community need
which the new pool has filled.
For more than thirty years the
Seaforth Lions Club ,has been active
in furthering projects for the bene-
fit of the citizens of this district.
While the initiation, planning and
direction of the projects have been
carried out by members of the club,
in the final analysis it is the public
generally, by the support given, that
make such projects possible.
That the citizens recognize the part
which they must play, and for which
they are responsible, will, it is hoped,
be evidenced by the attendance at
the Lions Hallowe'en Frolic Wednes-
day night. Let's get behind the Fro-
lic and make it the best in a long
series of frolics.
Canadians Are A Fortunate People
We were reminded the other day
as we read an exchange, that we, as
Canadians, indeed are a fortunate
people.
There are many things of course
which contribute to this state of af-
fairs and perhaps one is the extent
to which so ,many luxuries are with-
in our reach.
This is illustrated by the results
of a recent survey of 1,000 typical
families in Halifax, Montreal, Tor-
onto, Winnipeg and Vancouver,
whose incomes range from $1,800 to
$6,500.
Of every $100 spent by these fam-
ilies, an average of only $52.40 was
required for the essentials of life—
food, clothing and shelter. In other
words, 'basic necessities claimed only
a little over half of total income.
• True, much of the remaining ex-
penditure 'was hardly of a "luxury"
nature. Taxes, for example, account-
ed for $5.80 of each $100 and medical
care and insurance for $4.30.. And
most of us would certainly not con-
sider $7.80 and $6.20 in every $100
for automobile and furniture respec-
tively- anything but absolutely essen-
tial.
Yet, even so, there are still the
radios, the telephones, the television
sets, the record-players, the labor-
Plain English
(From the Ottawa Journal)
• At Terrace Bay in North-western •
Ontario, two young men were killed
recently in an automobile accident,
and as an aftermath the Terrace
Bay News prints a letter from the
father of one of the dead. It is ad-
dressed "To the automobile drivers
of Terrace Bay," is signed "Terry's
Dad, and reads:
"In the tragic accident which oc-
curred on Tuesday evening, Sept. 25,
we have, all of us, witnessed the grief
and sorrow that shocked our happy
community.
"We must all realize that not one
of our boys who got into that car at
Schrieber,would intentially cause an-
ish-, -much less kill two of them.
"Another act of carelessness has
aken its toll.
"If you young people of Terrace
Bay ever needed an object lesson, this
ire& has been it.
"That Terry and Ken did not die
n VainI beseech' you to resolve now
not to take chances while driving on
our highways. 'Please realize and
• prolate the danger each time you
•get behind the wheel of a car."

These are only some of the more
obvious "extras" for which most Can-
adians add up to the difference be-
tween living and e±isting. For mil-
lions of non -Canadians they are an
impossible dream.
Outside of the United States, in
what country would you find a sur-
vey of typical families revealing
that 96 per cent have radio, 72 per
cent. have a telephone, 93 per eent.
• have electricity, more than 50 per
cent. have at least one car, while
almost as many have television sets?
Of course the survey ,is based on
city income, but the extent to which
the so-called "extras" are present in
town and country homes probably
would vary little.
It's worth remembering that the
Canadian way of life has been pro-
ductive of an ever-increasing stand-
ard of living — a standard 'which in
most other countries than Canada
would be regarded as being far be-
yond the attainment of the ordin-
ary citizen.
Proper Age for Retirement
• (St. Marys Journal -Argus)
Retirement, which should have
been a serene culmination of a life-
time of accomplishment, was actual-
ly a death sentence for some, and for
others an eternity of emptiness and
tedium, punctuated with aches and
pains," writes Robert Collier Page,
M.D., in a recent issue of Health
Magazine.
Dr. Page was describing the effect
of too early retirement upon active
men. He points -out that there is
considerable controversy over ,what
is the proper retirement age. Some
s8y 65, some 60, some 55, and some
go as high as 70. From the health
standpoint, retirement planning
should begin as early as the age of
40, for that is the age at which work
patterns have become esalished.
Dr. Page calls for more research
into the problem of setting retirement
ages according to the biological age
of the person rather than the chron-
ological age.
"Go to the thirtieth reunion of any
college, and look at the gathering of
erstwhile classmates—all nearly the
'same age chronologically. You will
see erect, young -looking men with
springy step, clear eye and ready
laugh, walking alongside veritable
antiques with trembling hands, tor-
toiselait, listless eyes, and quern-
tous Voices. From a medical point of
10' view it is absurd to think of these
persons as being,the same age biolo-
#111s- stick er yet the efiron.61q1eal yard,-
the Otly:,jine,1we now have."

Track Rolls Over 50.Foot Drop
Tom Cassels, local trucker, had
a narrow escape on Tuesday
morning when the brakes on his
truck failed to hold. The vehicle
was parked in front of the office
at Western Foundry. As the driv-
er got back into the cab the truck
rolled over the brink of the river
bank and Tom leaped to safety. The
truck went completely down the
bank and came to rest partly sub-
merged in the river. When it was
hauled back to terra firma it was
found that it had not even been
scratched in the mishap.—Wing-

Old Landmark Removed
An old landmark was removed,.
last week when the Baptist Church
shed was torn down. Mr. Frank
Raithby purchased it and it is now
being raised for the third time.
Originally it was built in, J910 be-
side the first Baptist Church on
the Base Line, opposite con. 10,
Hulled. In 1908 the present church
here was built, and the church shed
was moved to its present site.

Scooters Under Canvas
Clinton 'Lions Boy Scout camp
was host to 15 scoutmasters from
Huron District last weekend. The
group were out under canvas and
during the _camp formed patrols
and combined to build, a large
camp chief's chair which will be
an asset to the camp. In charge of
the camp was Doug. Carswell, new
district commissioner and Jack
Corless, Centralia, who was the in-
structor. All the leaders were try-
ing for their camper's certificate.

Morning Fire Destroys,Farm Home
Fire destroyed the home of Gor-
don W. Rogers, in East Wawanosh
township, about six miles south-
west of Wingham, on Sunday morn-
ing, leaving three children and
their parents homeless. The blaze
was first noticed by Mr. Rogers at
about 8 o'clock when he was a-
wakened by the smell of smoke at
the rear of the house. Mr, Rogers
summoned the Wingham rural fire
department from a nearby resi-
dence. Firemen were hampered in
their efforts 'by a strong wind and
lack of a good water supply. A
bucket chain was formed by neigh-
bors until the well ran dry. Water
was then brought from the farm
of Jim Coultes, which helped save
the barn near the dwelling,--Wing-
ham Advaoce-Times.
Some Hike Bread Price
Some of the larger bread com-
panies have announced an increase
in price of one cent per loaf, but
local and district bakers had not
followed suit up until midweek at
least. Two national firms now sell
their standard loaf for 21 cents
here, while a Seaforth baker, who
distributes bread in Goderich, still
sells for 19 cents. The manager
of a large chain food store told the
Signal -Star that his company is
still selling bread at 16 cents a
loaf and there has been no indica-
tion that this price will be increas-
ed. The price of flour and other
materials has been going up, and
one traveller, who services bak-
eries, said he would not be surpris-
ed to see further price increases in
bread and pastry lines before the
spring.—Goderich Signal -Star.

shameful practice is persisted in
the authorities will he called upon
to make an example of some of
the guilty parties.
Mr. C. W. Papst has leased the
store in Cardno's Block recently
occupied by A. G. McDougall and
Co., and intends removing his
stock of books and papers _there.
When he gets settled in his new
premises, Mr. Papst will have one
of the largest and , handsomest
stationery stores west of Toronto.
The cider mill of Messers. Wil-
son and Co., in this town is doing a
rushing business. It is astonishing
the amount of cider that seems to
be consumed hereabouts.
Mr, Hyman Tyerman, of the 9th
concession of McKillop, erected on
his premises a frame stable which
at the present will be used for
sheltering his Stock and storing
his farm PmPlements.. It is situ-
ated on tEe right bank of the river
and 20 rods south of the barn which
was lately destroyed by fire. Mr.
Isiaac Bolton, a young carpenter
of rising fame, framed the build-
ing.
- One day last week, while Mr,
and Mrs. Dynes, 10th concession of
McKillop, were away from home
a tramp called at their residence
and demanded a coat from the ser-
vant girl. The day was wet, and
he said he was going to Grey twp.,.
and that if she could for the pre-
sent loan him a coat, he would re-
turn in a day or two. She, relying
on his word, consented and gave
him an oil -cloth coat of Mr. Dynes.
The whole thing seems to be a
fraud as he has not yet appeared
with the coat.
