REMOVE OLD PUMP AND CASING FROM WELL The work of pulling out the old casing at the salt well has been in progress this week. The old pump was still in the well, the pump shaft coming up to within a few feet of the surface. It was found that tha: casing near the top was still in per- fect condition. Further down it was heavily encrusted and still lower down the casing was as thin as paper. Mr. W. R. Belden, of Brandon, Manitoba, who is hi charge, develop- ed a salt well at Neepawa, Mao., which he later disposed of, It is noted in the papers recently that one of the big companies is now establishing a million dollar salt plant at Neepawa. It is recalled that the old well at Seaforth closed down, not because of any scarcity of salt, but because the abundant wood supply of the early days disappeared. It is understood that a good supply of fuel is now available from the waste material at the flax mill.

Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. S. Carter Highly Esteemed Seaforth Cou- ple Celebrate Fiftieth Anni- versary Mr. and Mrs. Sam Carter eelebrat- ed their golden wedding anniversary at their home on North Main street on Monday. During the evening their many friends called on them to ex- tend congratulations and best wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Carter were the recip- ients of many lovely gifts and mes- sages of congratulations. The wedding ceremony of fifty years ago took place in Seaforth at the Methodist parsonage, the pastor, Rev, Mr. Casson, officiating. The bride and groom were residents of Brussels at that tinie. The brides- maid was Sarah Carter, sister of the groom and the groomsman was Rob- ert Denbow, brother of the bride, now living at Brandon, Man. The bridesmaid later became Mrs. John Taman of Brussels, and died at Sud- bury about fifteen years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Carter recall that their wedding' day was a beautiful day in a season of fine weather. There were no automobiles to bring them to Seaforth from Brussels. The wed- ding party drove in a double carriage called a surrey, behind a team of horses. They left Brussels at noon, arriving here for the wedding at 2 o'clock and were back to Brussels by four. Some years later Mr. Carter drove the stage between Seaforth and Brussels for a period of six years. Mr. and Mrs. Carter lived at Fordwich for a couple of months af- ter their marriage and then returned to Brussels where they lived until moving to Seaforth twelve years ago. Mrs. Carter, the former Emma Denbow, daughter of the late John and Sarah Denbow, was born at God- erich. She was four years old when her parents moved to Brussels. Mrs. Carter has a brother, Robert Den - bow, .at Brandon, .Man.,, and a sister, Mrs. Robert J. Williamson at Dog Pound, Alta., near Calgary. Mr. Carter was born in Seaforth, a son of the late John and Margaret Storey Carter and was a young man when his parents moved to Brussels. He has a brother, David Carter at Blyth, and two sisters, Mrs. George Hend- erson, who is residing with Mrs. Alex Wright on the Mill Road near Bruce - field, and Mrs. E. Parker, of Owen Sound. MINISTERIAL MEETING The Seaforth and District Minister- ial Association met in Egmondville United Church on Monday, May 18th, at 2 p.m. Papers were given by Rev. C. B. Heckendorn, of Zurich, entitled "The Pastor's Ministry to the Sick," and Dr. Hurford on "The Purposes of Parables." The next meeting will be' in the Anglican Parish Hall, Sea - forth, on Monday, June 22, at 2 p,m. WHITSUN The Forgotten Festival It has been said that the Holy Spirit is "the forgotten truth," and it is quite apparent that the festival connected with the Holy, Spirit is the forgotten festival. We all celebrate and enjoy the festivals of Christmas and Easter, but are inclined to neg- lect Whitsun. This festival belongs to no one church but to the Church as a whole. It has been kept for cen- turies in all parts of Christendom, We need to be reminded of the per- son of the Holy Spirit who comes to take the place in the hearts and lives of Christians which Jesus took when on earth in the lives of His disciples. The account of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is found in Acts 2, and the teaching of Jesus about the Holy Spirit is found in parts of the 14th, 15th and 16th chapters of St. John's Gospel. Like Easter and Christmas, Whitsun is connected with a public holiday in Great Britain which is called Whit -Monday, The derivation of the word may be 'White Sunday,' from the white baptismal garments worn by the candidates, for at one period this was the special day for baptising. We need more study and teaching regarding the Holy Spirit and Whitsun then will not be a for- gotten festival. MAKING REPAIRS Extensive repairs are being made this week to the eaves on the Odd - fellow's block on Main street. Much of tire wood work ha.cl to be replaced because of water damage. before new eavetrotlghing could be installed. SHOP AT S AVAUGE IT PAYS WEEKLY SALVAGE BULLETIN Tuckersmith Salvage Collection, Wed., May 27th There will be a salvage collection in Tuckersmith on Wednesday after- noon, May 27th, starting about 1 p.m. The collection will take place in the section of Tuckersmith including 2/ miles east of Seaforth, 334 miles iwest of Seaforth and 334 south of Seaforth. Please have all salvage to- gether in a place that will be con- venient for the collectors to pick up. Arrangements for this collection are being made by the three Tuckersmith members of the Seaforth and District Salvage Corps, Messrs. Robert Arch- ibald, Harold Jackson and Wilson McCartney, who will be pleased to give any further information about the collection. Farmers are asked to remember that the committee will take ALL your salvage (except tin cans, enamelled ware, etc.) Pay no attention to anyone who may pose as a Government collector, and who may advise you that your committee will not take iron and, other salvage items. Within a few days of the time your salvage is collected, ibis sorted and sold; the salvage materials go directly into Canada's war effort, and the money is donated to the Red Cross and other war charities. Now is the time to make your salvage do a real war job. Mr. Clarence Grainger, school tea- cher at Walton, has been doing a grand job of salvage collecting. The salvage has been brought to • his school, where he and his pupils have sorted it. On Saturday Mr. Grainger and two of his pupils brought a truck load of salvage to salvage headquarters, and are bringing an- other load within the next few days. All who have assisted in this work in Walton are to be congratulated on their salvage war efforts. At a recent meeting of the minis- ters of Seaforth, it was suggested that some definite measure might be taken by the churches to help secure sorters at the regular Tuesday and Thursday night sorting bees. It was decided that each church would send ten men to assist each evening, and each church be responsible for one week. Last week members of St. James' Roman Catholic Church were on the job; this week's bees Will be stimulated by help from the First Presbyterian Church; next week the extra helpers will be supplied by ]Northside United Church, and the following week St. Thomas' ' Anglican Church and l gmondyil]e United Church will combine'. to supply, the extra manpower. This Worthy effort on the part of the churches has been a. welcomestimulant to a handful of tired sorters, and is 'a most corn - mendable contribution to the'salvage efforts of this eotiitrrursity:
