Writing Biography
of William Aberhart
The life of William Aberhart,
the Seaforth district boy who
rose to become Premier o+f Al-
berta and the first Social Credit
premier, is now being written
for the first time, according to
the author, Mrs. Iris Miller, of

Mrs. Miller, who is writing the
biography, sent word she would
pay a fact fiading visit 4o Sea -
forth last Sunday afternoon to
talk with Seaforth people who
remember the days when the
late William Aberhart lived here.
However, there is no word that
she was in town that day. Her
husband, Mr. Miller, called at
the Home of Mx. Louis Aberhart,
a 'brother of William Aberhart,
earlier this summer.
In a letter, Mrs. Miller stat-
ed: "Some will have :gone to
school with him or remember
him as a boy, helping his bro-
thers with the daily milk deliv-
ery in the Seaforth district. Re-
collections of any ineident con-
nected with William Aberhart
can be 'important in throwing
light on his character and later
rise to power in the West,"
