The statement was made in an article in the Exeter Times - Advocate printed on the day of the election. In the front page article, Mr. Southcott said that the only news- paper that seemed interested in printing his side of the issues was the Times -Advocate, Mr. So- uthcott owns the paper with his brother. His charge was echoed after the victory of Jack Riddell, Lib- eral candidate, by similar char- ges by Charles MacNaughton, the former M.P.P. for the riding. He said the opposition parties had played on people's fear of regio- nal government and by exagger- ating this fear may'have done a disservice, He claimed the is- sues have not been fairly pre nted by the media, "But I believe in the system and the people still rule, " he said. "The system gives the people the right to express themselves." Mr. MacNaughton said he had expected the election to be close but was disappointed by the rej- ection of "a capable candidate, well experienced in the ways of government." "My opinion is that the people of Huron will live to regret it," Mr. MacNaughton said. "The riding has prospered under the present regime -- a lot." He said he felt the opposition parties, especially the Liberals had played on the fears of the people of Huron with "r ' • ed herr- ings." Regional government, one such "red herring, Is not planned fcr Huron, Mr. MacNaughton said, and Premier William Dav- is told the people this in a speech in Seaforth March 8. The ridi- ng would not lend itself to reg- ional government and can not be compared with areas that will come under a regional govern- ment. The rejection of the Conser- • vatives may have been a repri- mand to the Davis government for government policies they dislike, he said. "I'm quite confident the Prem- ier and the government of the day • will read and interpret this by- election and St. George and probably take a look at where their policies displease the peo- ple." VOLUME 83 - No, 12 csity over the closest opponent, Ken Duncan, who gained 3;653. Close behind Duncan was Paul Carroll with 3427 and the tail end was brought by Socialist Ed Bain with 95. Mr, Riddell turned things aro- und winning more than 54 per cent of the popular vote and a majority of nearly 3000 votes in what was basically a two-way fight. He gained 8855 votes' to,Don Southcott's 5887 for the Conservatives and only 1748 for Paul Carroll of the NDP, Mr. Bain again ran and won 36 votes, In his victory speech to sup- porters early Friday morning at the Pine Ridge Chalet near Hen - all, Mr. Riddell thanked all those who normally supported the Conservative or New Demo- cratic parties who voted for him, He pledged to work for the people of all parties in his • term of office.' It was a stunning victory, even to mast Liberal campaigners. Most Liberals after the Riddell triumph said they had expected to win, but not by such alarge Wally rray Gaunt, Huron - Bruce MPP who campaigned ti- relessly in Huron riding for Mr. Riddell said he was not surpri- sed at the win, but was with the extent of the switch.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, March 21, 1973. people victory Many Liberals in Huron county may be rejoicing this week that THEY won the election last week. They are fooling them- selves, . The people of Huron and Jack Riddell won the elections The.people won because they used the election to show how fed up they were with the Davis government and its arrogant Way of, doing things. It seems they may have been on the same track as the people of St. George in Toronto who also seem fed up with Davis,. The Davis hand was evident throughout the election. Both candidates were hand-picked by the Conservatives in Toronto to fit into the Big Blue machine. Both had been well groomed, one as an assistant to Davis himself the other as an assistant to Charles MacNaughton, Davis' biggest supporter, It seems nei- ther riding liked Mr. Davis' choice. It seems they are, tired of his "we know what's best for you children" attitude, The victory was also a personal one for Jack Riddell. It seems hard to remember thatonly a little over a month ago he was unknown to most people in Huron. Today he is their Member of Parliament with a big majority to boot. How did it come about? It came through Mr. Riddell's willingness to meet; people wherever they worked, in the farmyard or factory or in their home, It came through his desire to shake a man's hand, no matter how dirty it might be. It came through his ability to really listen to what people had to say about how government should be run. • - There was another victor too. The victory was also a triumpil for the reputation Murray Count, M. P. P, for Huron -Bruce has' made in the past 10 years. It's no secret that one of the hard- est campaigners in the Riddell cause was Murray. It takes little political accumen to see the effect this had on the voters, particularly in the northern part of the riding where Mr. Riddell rolled up some of his biggest majorities. Obviously, the personal endorsement of Murray gave the people the feeling they could be confident- in Mr. Riddell, But the biggest victory is for the.people. They have made it plain they don't like government policies on regionalism and centralization. To really win, however, they must not stop there. They must continue the fight by writing letters to their Member of Parliament and Mr. Davis himself, They must use every possible way to express their disapproval of government policies. On losing gracefully • Some of the statements made last week by the two most prominent conservatives in Huron riding did not make either look good. Perhaps the sorriest statements came from Charles MacNau- ghton the former member for Huron and one of the most be- loved politicians in the history of Huron. Mr. MacNaughton's statement after he heard of Mr. Southcott's defeat: "My op- inion is that the people of Huron will live to regret it{" sounds too much like a threat to make one comfortable.. Is the former cabinet minister trying to tell us that the only way the Davis government will give a riding its fair share of services is to elect a Tory? If so, then it's time to kick the givern- ment out, not elect a Conservative. Mr. MacNaughton also joined Mr. Southcott i . claiming the media had not been fair in presenting the issues. Mr. Southcott had made the same c laim in an article Thursday in the Exeter Times -Advocate. He had claimed the election campaign was the dirtiest he had ever seen and said the Exeter paper (in which he holds an interest) is the only paper in the riding that tried to present his side of the issues. From what we've seen, most of the newspapers iri the county gave the Conservatives equal treatment in news coverage although only the Exeter paper lent its support editorially. We know that as professional newsmen, editors do a lot of soul-searching to try to make sure their personal feelings about a political sit- uation to not seep into their news coverage. Here are the facts of the news coverage of this newspaper: Feb. 14 issue, coverage of the NDP nomination meeting rec- eived 47 column inches in The Standard. It received front. page play because it was the only political meeting of the week. On Feb. 21 issue, coverage of the Conservative nom- ination meeting was given 44 inches (including picture) on page 5. The Liberal nomination was given 43 inches of cov- erage on page 11 (including picture). The NDP had no cove- rage. There was no political coverage on Feb. 28, On March 7, there was 38 inches of coverage of the all -candidate meeting in Clinton. Besides this, the Conservatives had two stories on the visit of Premier Davis to Huron, one 13 inches and another nine inches. A story on the possibility of a power station in Huron was carried occupying 35 inches. This story included some statements by Paul Carroll, N.D.P. candidate. The Liberals received no coverage. The final issue during the campaign on March 14 gave 21 inches to'a roundup of the activities of all parties during the campaign. The Liberals had an additional five inches; the Conservatives three and a half inches and the NDP two and a half inches. All other remarks on the election were clearly labelled "opinion" including a commentary in the March 7 issue which related some of the problems Mr. Southcott was having with his campaign and predicted a possible upset. This newspaper in trying to be fair to the Conservative candidate did not dwell at length on the Tom Wells "non-political" meeting with teachers which was boycotted by most teachers and ended up being one of the bigger blunders of the campaign. It did not mention, ex cept in the commentary, the embarrassing situation over Mr, Southcott's statements over the jail wall or the many other cases where the Conservative candidate blun- dered. It would seem then that if anything Mr. Southcott got pre- ferential treatment as far as news coverage goes.over the Lib- eral. That Mr. MacNaughton should make such an accusation is unbecoming of a man of his obvious stature and respect. It is even more inexcusable of Mr. Southcott who is himself a for- mer newspaper man and knows how newspapers strive to ensure unbiased news coverage. Certainly, the newspapers of the county did not support Mr. Southcott through editorials, but surprisingly few threw their support against him either. Mr. Southcott well knows that it is the privilege of a newspaper editor to express his opinion on who he feels is the best cand- idate, and no doubt he used that privilege himself in the past to. support many Conservatives, including Mr. MacNaughton. From here, gentlemen, it sounds like you have been winners for so long, you don't know how to be gracious losers.

When the whole thing began to happena • couple of months ago, I wasn't too excited. As most of my reg- ular readers know, provincial po- litics haven't pleased me too much in the past because IIve found that people complain ab- out things in general and then get out and vote for the same repre- sentatives.... or give even larger majorities to the ruling party, I guess you could say I was truly disillusioned with voters for the most part. So the upco- ming by-election didn't really turn me on. So what, I thought. Somebody told me to take heart. I was reminded that by- elections are not like general elections, People do strange things in a by-election, I was told. In our Riding, Progressive Conservatives had dominated for over 25 years .... way before my voting time at any rate. And when the dust had settled,after frenzied nomination meetings, my hopes for a PC upset in my Riding began to dwindle. The PC candidate was, in my humb- le estimationa tough, hard- nosed politician who had been hand-picked and groomed by the former MP whose retirement had forced the by-election. Even the timing seemed right. The Davis government had been swept to power by an overwhel- ming majority and apart from a few rumblings of discontent here and there, the Big Blue Machine seemed to be rolling along quite nicely. But just about two weeks into the campaign, there were the be- ginnings of signs to show that the PC in our Riding wasn't doing too well, An informed, intelligent politician he might have been... but a personable, sort of one- of - us candidate he was not, He charged on the day of the elec- tion it was a "dirty campaign", while most voters - PC or not - would have called it a stupid ca- mpaign. It's history now, but the PC's were soundly trounced in my Ri- ding. The Liberal was carried to victory and the cheers may not die down among die-hard Grits for days and days. If there is anyone in this prov- ince who should be doing a lit- tle head scratching this week, it must be Bill Davis, the captain of the PC ship. The Premier must be asking himself how to plug the holes in his wounded vessel before it begins to list and sink. One of the first things he could do is to spend less time drafting Davis legislation and more time listening to the people. Folks that I know are getting a little weary of having their heads pat- ted like good children, only to have their noses held and another dose of Davis "prosperity" push - by SHIRLEY J. KELLER, ed down their throats. They do- n't like the ridiculous run-around they get from Davis who'says one minute to relax and stop worry- ing while all the time some do- cument or another is ready for signingwhich, if known to the people, would give plenty cause for concern. Another thing Davis could do is to eget real",. as the kids say. As the former Minister of Educ- ation, Davis foisted all kinds of expense and trouble on the elec- torate in the name of "equal" educational opportunities". I don't niind the expense and I don't mind the trouble . , , but by heavens, when the equal ed- ucational opportunities dont ar- rive I feel that I've been had. And Davis is still up to his old tricks, promising the world, col- lecting the payments and delay- ing the delivery. It would be better to promise less, take less and do more ... the recipe to be obtained from federal PC's who want to dump the Trudeau• government to put this fantastic plan into effect. I don't know whether or not the results from the two recent by-el- ections in the province are any indication of a move afoot to dump the Tories in Toronto ... or. at least give them a good sc- are, It could be and naturally, I'd be happier to see a much tighter provincial House. But if Bill Davis is smart,' he - '11 start mending fences and keep them mended. Hell take a cue from our PET who learned it is more blessed to be humble and int office than arrogant and defe- ated, If Davis gets as smart as Trud- eau in that respect, he might make a premier of some ability. bw.teal 2 bw teal1 ', .'x shoveler : _ =ail x ` ;" „• . redhead" `�fli' ; rte"'.'-- ', xiY,M ' �� •' ,•114!u' xb.w,teal4 '1% x)bw.teal3 r Marsh World Ducks Unlimited (Canada) DUCK TERRITORIES — Mated pairs of ducks and geese like other birds, space themselves out on their breeding areas each spring.

In Bayfield he won by nine votes, 116 to 107 and in his hometown Exeter he had a 56 vote margin, 825 to 769. At his headquarters in the Clinton Legion Hall Mr. South- cott said, "I honestly don't know what happened. Obviously I didn't interpret the mood of the public." He told supporters, "I'm sorry. I take the blame". Although Mr. Southcott said he didn't know what caused the defeat, many Liberals had rea- sons besides the strong campaign put up by their candidate, the strongest one in years by a Lib- e They freely pointed to candies liven out by Mr. Southcott as he campaigned and said they heard many voters complained the Conservatives were treating them like children who could be swayed by candy.' They pointed to Mr. Southcott's inability to meet farmers and workers on their own level and get his hands and feet dirty to meet voters. They also felt the issues of cen- tralization and regionalism had a great deal with -turning the voters against the government candidate. Mr. Southcott agreed that regional government was a leg- itimate issue, but his former boss, Charles MacNaughton, cl- aimed regional government was a "red herring", that regional government is not planned for Huron. He said Mr. Davis as- sured the people of the riding of this when he spoke in Seaforth on March 8 by saying the riding did not lend itself to regional gove- rnment. Many observers felt, however that such assurances came much to late and should have been made while Mr. Mac - Naughton was still in office, Coming in the midst of an ele- ction campaign as they did, ma- ny observers felt, and still feel, the assurances could not be' taken at face value. Rumors of an upset began to surface with about two weeks left in the campaign when it became evident that all was not well with Mr. Southcott's cam- paign and that Mr. Riddell was a popular Liberal candidate. Many Liberals felt they had it in the bag after a barbeque at the Pine Ridge Chalet on March 12. Estimates of those attending ra- nged from 3000 to 5000 persons. They had to walk a mile or more along muddy roads to get to the gathering for their free hamburger, yet were enthusia- stic when Mr. Riddell appeared to shake hands and talk. It was obvious that the peo- ple had made up their minds earlier than that however. Re- sults of the advance poll cond- ucted the week before the ele- ction showed Mr. Riddell with a strong lead, 253 to 178 for Mr. Southcott. Hullett Continued from pg. 1, with a subsidy of $50,400.

The victory ties the series at one win each, Millian gave the Flyers the lead in the first half, but the Regional sports group planned For the past few months a gr- oup of men and women in Huron County interested in sports have been conducting meetings on Sports in Huron County. They are now at the point where a Regional Sports Council will be formed, To do this another meeting must and will be held on Wednesday, March 28, 1973 at the Clinton Community Cen- tre. They would like all inter- ested people to come and attend a meeting on that date at8c:00 p.m. The regional council is an organization comprised of repre- sentatives from all Sports and all areas of the County (Region). It would also include an ass- ociate membership of persons dedicated to sport and involved in such areas as recreation, gar- ernment, university, secondary and elementary education, etc. Its objectives are three -fold: (a) organize, promote, encour- age and maintain development - excellence of - and participat- ion in - sports within the region (County). (b) provide services for the members of the organization. (c) seek out funds for further- ance of these projects. In Huron County this organiz- ation can assist in the follow- ing services: (a) Knowledge of grants and funding available through Fed- eral and Provincial agencies. (b) Organization and promot- ion of clinics for coaches and officials. (c) Communication inter and infra sport. (d) Spat directory for region. (e) Information centre for pub- lic as well as members. (f) L`iason between this region and Sport Ontario and Sport Canada. (g) Will provide organizational network for Regional Games, should region hast these games. (h) Sports equipment safety. (i) Provide a unified voice for Region in matters of concern in Sport. (j) Purchase and publish teach- ing, coaching and officiating aids. (k) Communication - news- letter. (1) Eventual library and res- ource centre for public and organizations. (m) Service of duplicating, secretarial assistance and mailing to member sports of the council. ' i. e. - Administrative material such as notice of meetings, re- ports of meetings and comm- ittees. - Constitutions and by-, laws; - Promotional material; - Newsletters and bulletins to members; - Publicity and promo- tion of sport events; - Results of races, com- petitions and sports events. 8th Liners came back to tie' the score on a goal by Jim Blake. Flyers went ahead to stay on a second goal by Millian. The next game in the best of five series will be Thursday night at 8 p. m, thur. The third period saw Mon- kton take the lead and a goal by Mike Smith. The boys kept pressing and Phil Arthur tied up at 14;08 from Ron Plunkett and Keith Howatt. The first overtime period was scoreless as both teams missed several chances. The second overtime period was a sudden and how true, At 2;07 Keith Howatt scored from Ron Plunkett and Steve Bromley. This had to be one of his biggest goals ever. Fans who missed this game missed the most exciting thr- iller so far this season; some- thing they will rarely see on the boob tube with the pocr hockey we've watched on it this winter. Next home game is Friday night against Tiverton at 8;30 p.m. THE BLYTH STANDARD, March 21, 1973. PG. 5. Ilia scnuie Thurs, Mar. 22 Fri, Mar. 23 Sat, Mar. 24 Sun. Mar. 25 Mon. Mar, 26 Tues.

Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Rinn and John were supper guests with Mr. and Mrs. Keith Rack and Janette of Walton, History of tabacco The Canadian Indians wrecked by the white man are having the last laugh in the Great Beyond. Tobacco is the Indian revenge. Before Columbus, tobacco was unknown to the white man. But explorers soon saw that Indians smoked the leaf in a Y-shaped pipe called a tabaco, Each end of the double -forked pipe was in- serted into a nostril. In some places, though, Indians smoked tobacco leaves rolled with husks of cern. The white man camp - led the stuff, liked it and there- by put 'a curse on coming gener- ations. The Indians smoked for cer- emonial purposes and as a sym- bol of goodwill, They also be- lieved that tobacco had medic- inal values. It was, in fact, primarily for this reason that ex- plorers carried the, weed back to Europe. The brainwash took so well that by the middle of the seventeenth century, a London doctor wrote a whole book on "The Wonderful Vertues of Tob- acco." The overzealous physi- cian recommended a drop of to- bacco juice in each ear to cure deafness, a green tobacco leaf flat on the head to cure head- ache, and a tobacco leaf tied over a tooth to cure toothache. For a cough, he advised boiling tobacco leaves, shaking the sy- rup, and putting the mixture on the stomach. Doctors have learned a lot more about the effects of tob- acco over the last three centur- ies. Now they know that smok- is a leading cause of emphysema chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and oth- er diseases. But in the interve- ning centuries, smoking has sp- read around the world. And there are still millions of Cana- dians who smoke cigarettes. To avoid going early to the Great Beyond, find out ways to kick the habit from your local tuberculosis and respiratory dis- ease association.

Since then many new discoveries have been made. The use of plastic blood packs—much more convenient for storage and shipping than glass bottles—is nearly universal. Long term low-temperature pres- ervation of blood is now possible, Plasmapheresis—removing plas- ma from the blood by centrifuga- tion after which the cells are re- turned to the donor—is common procedure. Automation is being used for certain laboratory tests. Computerization has simplified record keeping procedures. To- day Red Cross, a modern pioneer in blood technology, provides Canada with 'all the blood and blood products it needs, * * * The 35 guests presented gifts and Betty thanked everyone.

SAUERKRAUT BLYiN DUTINEI SHOP E rn ie `F reek' Button Proprietor B lyth, On tario Phone 523-4551 This week, some random and rambling thoughts on a vari- , ety of topics, A friend and colleague died yesterday, and I'll miss him, He was a free soul, beholden to none, with a mind and a tongue that paid obeisance to no man and no theory, He was ill for a long time, but fought like a demon, and never gave an inch to encroaching death, Since 1 joined this teach- ing staff twelve years ago, six men teachers, all in their forties and early fifties, have died, Five of them were World War II veterans, That's a pretty high attrition rate, There are only six W,W, II veterans left on the staff, including one lady and one vet of the German army, and we're sort of eyeing each other for signs of sudden deterioration, Guess we should make a pool, winner (last alive) take all, Don't worry, I haven't a morbid bone in my body, I've already had About thirty years more than a lot of my old mates, so life doesn't owe me a thing, Spring is more a time of birth than of death, And did we have evidence this week, Saturday morning, I often grab the chance to sleep in for an extra hour, Last Friday night the temperature went soaring up to About fifty, About four a,m., the word got around among the black squirrels in my attic that spring had arrived, and they went stark, staring, rav- ing mad, ' All winter, they'd been pretty, quiet, with only the occasional Saturday night party complete with drunken fights, screaming females, bawling kids and acorns rat- tling around like bowling balls on concrete, But this week, they pulled all the stops. I started out of a deep sleep, shouting some- thing about the Yanks invad- ing Canada, My wife was cowering, head under the covers, The males were bellowing like bull moose, The females were chattering li(<e --- well, females, The babies were shouting, in unison, "Hey, Ma, Can we go out? We don't need a coat, We've never seen spring before, What's it like?" And all of them running and jumping and skittering and slithering and scuttling right overhead until it sounded like midnight at the Lumberjacks Ball, This went on until day- light and so did my wife's demands that 1 do something about it, What would you do? I wasn't going to go up into the attic and take them on single-handed. I was afraid to, They sounded like Gen- ghis Khan and his boys warming up for the raping and razing of a city. There was nothing to do but batten down the hatches THE BLYTH STANDARD, .March 21, 1973. PC,15, Stupid squirrels! It was only 4 a.m. and hope that some over- zealous little black rodent did not chew through the ceiling and drop on my wife's head. That would have, as they say, torn it, At dawn the wild ulula- tions subsided a little and I peeked out the window, There they were, goofing about in the back yard, stupidly digging in the snow for acorns, looking par- ticularly ratty with their coats half shed, The oldtimers soon realized with disgust that it was not spring at all, and returned, up the big cedar, flying leap to the vines, scrabble up to the hole and back to the attic for a long snooze, But the little ones were baffled, bewildered and bel- ligerent, They ran around in circles. They sank to their ears in wet snow, They chit- tered indignantly. They couldn't find anything to eat, Had I not heard them talk- ing so often, I'd not have been able to understand. But I had. And 1 did, 1 distinctly heard.one baby buck squirrel snarling, "What the hell goes on here? We've been sold a bill of goods. THIS is SPRING? Where are the luscious bulbs, the green stuff, the tender shoots? We've been had, brothers, Let's demonstrate." And demonstrate they did, loudly and shrilly, for the next twelve. hours, .back in the attic, berating their elders, Can't blame them, It must have been a traumatic experience, out of the warm womb of the attic into the bleak reality of a March day. Some of them (I hope) will be scarred for life, psychologically, But I can't kick, They've been fairly quiet since, aside from a lot of mumbling and muttering among the young ones, convinced, like all kids, that their parents be- trayed them about life, Dang it, I've run out of space, I wanted to mention the two baseball pitchers who have swapped not only wives but families, present some startling spring poetry, and discuss the abysmal stupidity of the Department of Education, but there's no room, Why do I let squirrels loom so large in my life? ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■�■i■■■■l■■■■I IHUsh ■ IN ■ ■ C by r c IJ \ ■ ■ ■ ■ For Men and Women The ideal Shoes for Comfort and Service. ■ R.

Friday night our television went on the fritz just as our older monster, (daughter when she's good) was about to sit down to watch the tube for a while, Then Saturday the sto- rm blew in and we received a phone call that the company we were expecting wasn't going to make it ... after, of course, we had stocked the fridge and Jill had cleaned the house. We were miserableright? Wrong. I haven't enjoyed a weekend so much in a long time. I maybe weird, but I just lo- ve a stormy weekend when I've go nothing that has to be done. I love the feeling of being able to lie around in complete cont- entment with not the slightest pang of conscience that I should be out washing the car or clean- ing the yard. I love to be able to dress in comfortable old clo- thes and not have to worry about shaving because someone might drop in unexpectedly. No one, but on one, was going to drop in last weekend. Sounds like I'm a bum right? Well I sure am. It's one of the things I've always liked about living here in snow country. I like the feeling that there are some things you just can't beat, so you might as well sit back, relax and enjoy yourself. And storms like this weekend's are prime examples of such things. I remember on the farm when I was a kid, if I was sick and missed school, I felt a twinge of guilt. If, however, one of our famous blizzards blew in off the lake and the roads disappeared under six feet of white stuff, I didn't have to feel the least bit of guilt and I could curl up with a good book and hope it snowed until the food supply ran out. But how did we live without • television? Very well, I've always resented the boob tube in a way. The problem is it's like a drug that's nice at first but 'soon has you hooked. Until a couple of months ago, the TV was hardly ever on in our house. Then our older daughter began to get interested in watching shows and first thing we knew everyone in the family was sw- itching the set on f or this or that program. But not this weekend. Daugh- ter didn't have TV to watch so she had to use her own imagin-• ation and play with her toys. Mother either got housework done or read a book. Father caught up on reading magazines. We get quite a stack every mon- th and most of the time we're a month behind in reading them. You know something? Usually it seems weekends just fly by. But this weekend with no place to go and no television to watch seemed as long as a holiday weekend. I kept looking at the clock and finding to my surprise that it was not as late as I thoug- ht it was. Net that time dragged just that without a television on, an hour seemed to be worth mo- re as far as getting things done. What about the stcrm? Well I cant say I even noticed it much. The house was warm, the reading was good and the walls of our ancient home are so thick one could hardly hear the wind blowing. I didn't not- ice it, that is, until it came time to dig out on Monday mor- ning, Then, if you listened to my mutterings as I shovelled snow up to my fanny, you coul- dn't really tell I liked storms. Mrs, Luther of Hensel], led the Christian Women's Club song service on Sunday evening in the chapel, with Mr. Luther provid- ing the organ accompaniment. for the hymn sing.
