For the September a ,broadcast in

A. D. SUTHERLAND
(By J. MacTavish in the London
Free Bress.)
In the recent passing of Andrew
Duncan Slither/and, mayor oil the
Town of Seaforth, almost everybody
of that place was alTected by a Per-
sonal tinge.
For about two years he had been
suffering from a lingering malady
from which he tally realized that
death is an ever present surety that
thoughtful man with all his longings
cannot blot out.
It is thought that ,Seaforth perhaps
has never since it was incorporated as
a town in 11174, with A. Armitage as
mayor, a inure ,familiarly known per-
son than Andy, And through it all the
spirit of patriotism and loyalty to his
home town never ceased to thrott
within him. Ile was born in Seaforth
63 years ago: always lived here. He
rejoiced in the fact that Seaford' bad
experienced at one time the prestige
of being 'me of the most pretention,.
progressive and prosperous 10,11S 111
Ontario and he was always omimis-
tie over its figure status.
Not long ago, at a time when he
could not speak above a whisper, his
observation was: "Do not fail t' in-.
still into the mimls of the boys and
girls that they lutist never. never lose
regard for their home town Os being,
the hest town anywhere. Hir, e them
love even the trees, not alone the
bealltiful maples, hut likewise Ole
ttalmits and the elms. The elm, are
:tately and ,1,111(1 1 _iant sentinels
here and there throughout the place."
remember well when Andy ac-
companied two of the F WeS doctors
and the writer in an auto trip to Nia-
gara Palls in blossom time, A night
was spent in iGrimshy, 'rhe following
morning, about the time we were to
breakfast, Andy 'hove in sight. Hie
had been astir in the streets since
daybreak.
:Niter breakfast he chatted with
persons while we went to get the
auto. Passing through the town he
spoke or waved recognition to others,
mile or en away front the place he
'ail41( a man taking home, a load of
clop.
One of the doctors remarked: "Yon
seem to know them here about • as
well as we do at 'home,"
"Well," said ekndy, .made the ac-
quaintance of some fine fellows 'here
this morning. ( had a talk with 'that
chap in a feed s tare." Shortly after-
wards someone referred to Grimsby
as .being a very )fine-looking, place.
"Not in it with Seaforth," Was the
sentiment voiced by iAody, \vthich
certainly was characteristic.
