So That Their Sacrifice was Not
Seaforth and district citizens, in
common with fellow Canadians from
coast to coast, will pay tribute to the
dead of two wars at Remembrance
Day services Sunday. This year
November 11 falls on a Sunday, and
,as is the case here, many centres are
combining a church parade with
Armistice Day ceremonies.
The occasion provides an oppor-
tunity whereby citizens can pay hom-
age to the memory of those who laid
down their lives to preserve our way
of life. Unfortunately it is an occa-
sion that in past years has been ig-
nored by far too many among those
who benefit from the sacrifices of the
fallen. A Remembrance Day cere-
mony, attended by a mere handful of
citizens, is not only an affront to
those who gave their all ; it is an in-
dication of a `don't care' attitude
about matters that should be of con-
cern to a community that prevails
all too frequently today.
At no time should Armistice Day
be regarded as a holiday, as a day of
relaxation , of pleasure. Rather, it
Christmas Seals Mean Less
(The Huron County Tuberculosis
Association Christmas Seal cam-
paign begins .this year on Nov. 14.
This message is prepared by the As-
sociation.)
There is a motto': "God grant idle
the serenity ti accept the things I
cannot change, the courage to change
the things I can and the wisdom to
know the difference."
This motto is applicable to the
problem of tuberculosis in our com-
munities. It is a problem that can
be defeated and is being defeated,
but the efforts of the considerate are
being hampered by the fewemisguid-
ed individuals who fail to be X-ray-
ed. While they worry over cancer
and heart trouble, they fail to ac
count to tuberculosis though it is in-
disputably true that more can be
in Vain
is a day of remembrance, of dedica-
tion.
This is particularly so • this year
when the free world is faced with a
challenge to peace greater than any
with which it has had to deal since
the end of World War II. If _ever
there was a time when it was nec-
essary to give thanks and to seek
guidance in a spirit of dedication, this
is it.
In the two world wars 102,653
Canadians were killed. In the war
to stop aggression in Korea, 288 were
killed. In addition there were more
who suffered wounds, the results of
which they will never be rid.
These Canadians died to protect
and preserve . our freedom -freedom
to worship, to vote, to speak as we
will. They died, too, to free human-
ity from war. Remembrance Day,
therefore, is a time when their sacri-
fice must be recalled and our
thoughts and actions directed in
such -a fashion that their lives will
not have been given in vain.
TB
done to prevent and cure TB than
either. of these others..
That the course of tuberculosis can
be effected is proved: The death rate
in Ontario in 1900 was 160 per 100,-
'000, now it is less than five To those
who are afraid, you have no more to
fear by not being X-rayed. Early dis-
covery means early recovery and al-
most certain recovery' when the dis-
ease is tuberculosis.
'That this program of discovery
and cure can be proceeded with to
the end .that tuberculosis may be
wiped out, it is necessary- that ade-
quate funds be made available. 'It is
for this reason then that the Huron
County Tuberculosis Association
plans its annual Christmas Seal
campaign. The campaign makes
possible a continuation of the fight
against TB.

Highways To Build Garage
A five -bay .patrol storing garage
is being built near Goderich for
the Ontario Department of High-
ways at an estimated cost of $750
000.' The site is one and one-half
miles north of Goderich, near the
turn on Highway 21 and just past
the C.P.R. overhead bridge. The
work, which started in September,
is being directed by the Depart-
ment of Public Works. CIare Bed-
ard, of Goderich, is foreman of the
job, which is providing employ-
ment for about 21 men. It is hop-
ed to complete the building some
time in December. At present,
vehicles of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Highways are sheltered in
buildings at Sky Harbor.-Goderich

Police believe the headlights of

frightened away thieves who re-

Sunday night. The agent discover-
ed the break-in about 9:45 p.m.
when he went in to fix the fire
in the furnace. The thieves gain-
ed entry through a window. Po-
lice found the safe, which contain-
ed about $200 in cash, in a patch
of weeds about 50 feet west of the
station on the opposite side of the

Austin Dexter, a young -man of
about 19 years of age, who lives
one mile north of Constance, was
on the roof of the, barn clearing
off the straw and dust which had
accumulated there while threshing.
The young man lost his footing
and slid down the roof and fell
to the ground below. Strange to
say, he got off with a sprained
arm and leg and a bad shaking
up.

Shortage of Nurses
'Lack . of accommodation and
shortage of nurses were cited by
South Huron Hospital Association
as major reasonsfor its decision
to postpone the addition of major
surgery facilities to the local in
stitution. In a statement made
public last week, the board said
the hospital is taxed to capacity
and the additionof surgical' pa-
tients might require the construc-
tion of an addition. It said the
present nursing staff, already ov-
erworked, is not sufficient to han-
dle surgery and that specialized
nerses required for surgery are
difficult to obtain. Additional quar-
ters would be necessary to ac-
contmodate more staff. - Exeter
Times -Advocate.
Loses Thumb and Fingers
Mr. Harold Badley is . a patient
in the Clinton Public Hospital suf-
fering from a most unfortunate
accident which occurred at his
farm about 5 o'clock on Monday
afternoon. During the afternoon
a gang of men had .been. assisting
Mr. Badley to buzz some wood. He
and his brother, Mr. Lorne Bad-
ley, were finishing up after the
others had gone home, when gar-
old's left hand slipped and ran in-
to the saw, severing completely the
thumb on the left hand and also
removing half of three fingers
on the same hand. His brother
was able to stem the flow of blood
and rushed him immediately to
the hospital, where he received
attention, and is expected to re-
main for a few days. The acci-
dent is an unfortunate one, indeed.

YEARS AGONE
Interesting items gleaned from
The Huron Expositor of 25, 50
and 75 years ago.
From The Huron Expositor
- November 11, 1881
The celebration of the Gunpow-
der Plot was commemorated in
Walton on Saturday.
A few days ago Mr. John Mur-
ray threshed on the farm of Mr.
Robert McLean, Mill Road, with
his steam thresher, 300 bushels of
oats in one hour and 30 minutes.
The grain was fed by Mr. A. Mode -
land, another well known and . ex-
perienced thresher. This is put-
ting grain through pretty fast and
did not leave those Who were at-
tending the machine much time
for gossiping.
At 11 o'clock Friday night the
harness shop of Mr. George Diegel
caught fire on the inside. It pene-
trated the roof before it was ex-
tinguished. His worthy next door
neighbor slept soundly during . the
whole confusion.
Messrs. Laidlaw and Fairley
have purchased the old Expositor
building on John St. and intend
fitting it up for a storehouse.

Toronto, Oct. 30, 1956.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: I note the following
market reports in your feature,
"Years Agone," from the news
column of The Huron Expositor
half -a -century back (Oet:..12, 1906):
Eggs, 19 cents; honey, 10 to 14
cents lb,; butter, 22 to 23 cents lb."
While these prices look pretty
modest when viewed from the
angle o#..today's markets, I think
it very important to remember:
(a) that the 1956 `dollar' as a slim
end anaemic affair, in terms of
purchasing power, when placed in
the balance and contrasted with its
1906 ancestor; and (b) that, in the
first decade of `Canada's Century',
a capable mechanic earned in a
week what his opposite number at
the present hour earns in a day.
Despite the continuous referenc-
es these days to the high cost of
food, I heartily agree with the
thought of one of the farm edi-
tors, in dealing with this same
theme only last week: "All in all,
the Canadian people are among
the best -fed in the world, and the
percentage of income spent on
food in this country is among the
lowest in the world. The indus-
trial worker can now buy more
food with one hour of labor than
ever before in the nation's his-
tory" (Farm 7/8 Ranch),
