Editor, Times-Advoicate,
Sir,—
I was interested in reading in a re
cent issue of your ipaper, the reprint
of an account of the great storm on
Lake Superior (1913.)
The awfulness and terror of this
event was not exaggerated, but the
computation of the losses incurred
underestimated.
There were thirty nine ships lost
during that tragic night.
The most extraordinary and pow
erful winds blew from every quar
ter, so that it was indeed a difficult
task to- keep on one’s feet on deck,
and when the Soo Canal was reach
ed those same winds blew the steel
dust from the hawsers ’round the
windlass, into- our eyes, so that it
was hard to see for four days.
In verification of the
I add that my ship was

wheat from Port Arthur

Dear Mrs. Strange,—
I w-ish to thank you very much
for the parcel and you may be sure
that it was really needed and much
appreciated. I have five children,
ranising from 5 to 16 years of age
and four of them are going to
school, SO1 you can realize what a|
problem it-is to dress them.
We have had croip failures fox' .tea
years and unfortunately, we were not
blessed with a good crop this year, j
Many in oui' province did and it cei' |
tainly must be a relief after all the
years of hard times.
1, myself, have not had a _ new
coat for five years, so you can see
that yours was really needed. I
shall wear it myself. I know you
Easterners are not rich by a long
ways and it must be a sacrifice to
send so much to the West, so know-j
ing this we <
youi' kindness. Please
else who contributed
as I cannot afford to
personally. ”
I wish you a Merry
a Ha'ppy New Year.

A unique event was quietly mark
ed in Seaforth on Christmas Day
when Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Jacobs,
grand old residents of this commun
ity celebrated the 66th anniversary
of theii1 wedding. Mr. Jacobs is the
oldest resident of the entire district,

though she is rather feeble and un
able to be out, Mrs. Jacobs is quite
bright and does the house work
daily. Mr. Jacobs has lived in this
district since he was seventeen years
of age, coming to Egmondville from
. He recalls the day when
Egmondville was a larger and more
j active centre than was the village of

town.

YOUR DEBT
em-
fOI'
Every man who works foi’ an
ployer is, in reality, working
hmself. Never forget that.
Some men make the mistake of
thinking that working for thier own
interest and their company’s inter
est are two different things.
They never can be.
When you attempt to divide your
energies applying part of them to
youi’ employer’s interest and part of
what you think are your own, you
are trying to apply material only for
one roof over two seperate houses,
and eventually, your house will suf
fer as much as your employers.
If you wish to work for your own
best interest, you will work hard and
loyally for your firm or employei’
regardless of youi’ occupation or
position—only a narrow visioned
man will see it differently.
No matter what youi' job, give
it all your thought, energy and ef
fort for, remember, YO'U are work
ing for YOURSELF—no matter who
you are or where you are.
