SET/FORTH, ANTI Ree, 7 LI [JRSDAY, JANUARY 3( , 11924. IS VERITAS THE REAL ETHIOPIAN Seaforth, Jan, 29, 1924. To the Editor of the News. Dear Sir: I noticed an article in the last issue of a local paper en- titled "Did Seaforth Fall Down on the Factory Proposition," After reading this article over. care- fully I was not at all surprised that the writer had failed to put his signa- ture to it, but. I was surprised atany person whoa if attall familiar . with the facts in-eonneetioiii h i w t this pro- position should sign his name Veritas, meaning as it does, "Truth."` ' The whole article, apart from what may have appeared in the Wingham paper, is absolutely misleading. andthis ---was certainly appreciated by The writer says that this is. identic thein, whether, by Veritas or not. ally the same industry that the Sea- Will our .writer of truth write an - forth Board of Trade and citizens other article and tell our people how successful the proposition of Mr. Matthewman has been m 'Wingham ?

These men were Mr. Jones, man- ager of the 'Dominion Bank, Mr. Charles Stewart, and Mr, John Mc- Tavish, and the two members of the ' co��uncil were Mr, J. W Beatty and Mr.e . CY o D. eau Haigh. I ' � r g assn aou that oury good friend Mr. Jones did - the very best possible in the way of securing information on which they could base their repot to the council, generally tried to interest the town council in. Is this, Mr. Editor, a true. statement ? Did the Board oTrade' or citizens ever approach the town council with the proposals of Mr, Matthewman, who has been negotiat- ing with lnlingham ? Certainly not. Now perhaps Veritas, this self-styl- ed writer nt truth, will say that it is the same spinning industry, If that should be his contention, let me give you an illustration to show 'how ridiculous such a contention would he. Let us suppose that Pentnans Ltd., or some other successful company. had bought the machinery of the de- funct,Yorkshire Worsted Company, and had approached our town for as- sistance to locate a .plant here.

If, as Veritas says, that dereliction of duty and remissness in business foresight lies at the front doorstep of those entrusted with the hest interest of the town because we failed to carry on negotiations with this Com- pany, what then has he to say of Stratford, Woodstock, l'eterboro and even .Carrie itself, who according to press rerports of a meeting in Barrie in August, 1922, were all approached by this concern, if,the: statements made by Mr. Crawfod, their .manag- er, at that meeting, were true. Evid- ently we are all wrong, and Veritas, this truthful soul, is right.

For myself, I candidly admit that these proposals did receive my ap- proval and I felt at the beginning of the negotiations that it looked a good proposition, but Mr. Editor, I do not wish to occupy' space in your paper to go into all the details as to what changed any opinion but I freely con- fess that while we as a council have made mistakes, the dropping of this proposition was not one of them. Let me also ask Veritas, this writer of truth, why He didnot tell our citi- zens that a committee of three citi- zens and two members of the coun- cil were appointed by the council to investigate this proposition. , And 'their report, which appeared in the columns of the local papers not very long ago, practically advised the coun- cil to have nothing further to do with this Company. rt.

Many have been relieved of corns by Hollawy's Corn Remover:It has a power of its own that will.. be found effective, Inspector Field in stating to th county •council that Seaforth spec $12,000 on a new heating system an new closets would appear to, has overestimated the amount. The tota cost oaf improvements and teachers salaries and other expenses of operat ing the school for .1923 was $13,613 The treasurer of the public scho board gives the amount spent on the closets and heating as $4,958. In re ference to this same heating system it might be explained that up to the ,resent two i w of the rooms upstairs have not been satisfactorily 'heated in cold weather. However, representa- tives of the company who had the contract .of• installing, have been in- vestigating the matter this week and it remains' to be seen whether it can be remedied. in any event, the Board has retained a part of the purchase money 'sufficient to protect them- selves. CLINTON JRS. MAKE IT THREE STRAIGHT, Last Thursday night saw our Jun- iors go down to defe'at at the hands of tile strong Clinton aggregation by the score of 9-5. The game had no bear- ing on the group honors as far as Seaforth was concerned, Had they won the game it would have tied, Clinton and Exeter with two wins and one loss apiece. As the group now stand; Clinton have three wins to their credit'with the last game at e d e 041 home against Exeter. Exeter must win this last game to tie Clinton for the group and if they do, we will say right now that. it will be a game well worth watching, 1f Clinton win it will give them a nice group win, Without . a loss at all. Clinton certainly have a nice, coin- pact little bunch of skaters and stick -handlers, and every man is also a good shot. Their combination against Seaforth here was very pretty to watch, at times. O'Rourke at centre was no doubt the best for the visitors, slowing flashes of speed and stick -handling that marks him as a future prospect' for real fast company. He appears to be a real goal getter landing five out of Clinton's nine counts. His individ- ual work is good but at time he has a bad habit of holding the puck a little too long, thus throwing the rest of his line off -side. Sutherland; the net guardian for the Seaforth outfit, was givenlots of work to do and played a real good game, Shots were counted on him when it was quite evident that he had no chance of seeing them for his own men in front. It is a hard proposition to stop d shot that you cannot see coming at all. Reid 'and Doig worked pretty well together on the defense. Both these men were playing at a disadvantage, after the first period. About half way through the first stanza Reid received a heavy body check that sent him to the dressing room for the rest of the period,. Doigreceived a love tap on the thumb tht, as the game progress- ed, increased in size. At the finish of the contest it resembled three com- bined thumbs stuck together. Kerslake, Holland and Mathews made up Seaforth's front line, and combined on several occasions, That looked nice from the side, but to be honest the combination that they des - played in Clinton when Clinton had to work twenty minutes over -time to beat thein 3-2, was sadly lacking here. Of course, this is liable to 'hap- pen to any team at time and the boys cannot be censored for merely fol- lowing the rule of the old game. Combination play when the game is a bit choppy is practically out of the question, anyway. Nicholls and Lane, Seaforth's subs., were used during the game and while doing battle, were in theame. ever g Y minute. This game closed the season for our. Juniors and *let me tell you they are a credit to the old town and this town should be -proud of every mem- ber of the team. They gave us all they had and we like 'em all the bet- ter for it. No, they did not win any of their games in the group but had their opponents very, very nervous for fear they would, so hard did our boys press them. The game they put up in Clinton certainly goes a long way to prove to us that we have something coating our way in the future regarding the good old game. Allure young and very much under the age limit, there- fore when the Junior season opens again next winter we. are going to witness some real nice hockey by these youngsters. The Intermediates to date have straight wins to their credit and go- ing strong. Wednesday night, Jan. 30th will find them in Go de ich in battle with the Sailers r do _ of that town, Below is the standing of the teams in the group to -date. � b E y, C7p., ,1 0,2 1- Seaforth . 4 4 0 24 6 Godcrich 3. 2 1 11 12 Mitchell 5 0 5 11 28 A Corrector of Pulmonary Troubles —Many testimonials could be present- ed showing the great efficacy of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil in correcting disorders of the respiratory processes. but the best testimonial is experience and the Oil is recommended to all who suffer from. these disorders with the certainty that they will find relief.
