The Seaforth News, 1949-03-24, Page 1• 'WHOLE SFIRIDS, VOL. 72, No. 12 STRICKEN MAN TWO DAYS IN LONELY CABIN Mr. Joseph ICellington, of Atiko- kan, Ont., Rainy River District, is being cared for at the home of Ms sister, Mrs, W. A. Stanbury, Eg- tnondville, and .is now reported in just fair condition. Me. Kellington had a harrowing experience in his trapper's cabin when he suffered a stroke of paralysis and lay on the floor for two days in the bitter cold. On the third day he managed to 'get off the floor and attract the atten- tion of section men on the line of the C.N.R. near his cabin., A telegram was sent to his sister, Mrs. Stanbury, who immediately went to Toronto and flew by T.C.A. plane to Fort William. She brought Mr. Kellington home to Seaforth by train on March 11th, Raised in Morris Township, near Brussels, Mr. Kellington has lived most of his life in the north country, having been a fire ranger in his youth. Since much of the fire rang- ing work is now done by airplane, in recent years he had been a trap- per. When his arm and leg became sud- denly paralyzed he was not able to even light a fire in his lonely cabin and it is considered a miracle that he survives the ordeal. Northside United Church Rev. H.

P.'s TELL OF RUSSIAN TERRORS Two Estonians, Mr. and Mrs, Arn- old ' Raidmaa, arrived at the farm of Mr. George Stone, in McKillop, last week where they will be employed. They came on the S.S. Gripsholm from Sweden. Stories of unbelievable horrors which the people of the little state of Estonia on the shores of the Bal- tic Sea suffered at the hands of the Enssians in ,1940 are told by these people. Communist terrorists follow- ed them wherever they went. Mrs. Raidmaa is a university grad- uate and a school teacher, her hus- band was a policeman. They fled to the bush to escape capture by the Russians. Her father, who owned a 180 -acre farm, was murdered by the Russians and his farm taken by the invaders. Her three brothers and two sisters were deported to Russia. Nothing has been heard from them since. With tears streaming down her cheeks, Mrs. Raidmaa told Mrs. Stone in broken English how the Russians locked people in the houses and then burned down the houses. A -young neighbor boy who left the bush in search of food was captured by the Russians. His friends shortly afterwards found his terribly mutil- P. B. MOFFAT RESIGNS AS SCHOOL PRINCIPAL According to E. J. Hawkins, chair- man of the Seaforth Public School Board, the resignation of P. B. Mof- fat has been accepted by the board as of March 310. The Board will ad- vertise immediately for a new prin- cipal.to commence duties at the next term in September. Mr. Moffat came to Seaforth in 1981 from Port Arthur. He has been on leave of absence due to ill health since December. JOINT SONG SERVICE PLANNED FOR EASTER An Paster song service will be held on Easter Sunday evening in First Presbyterian Church by the combined choirs of the Presbyterian, Anglican and United Churches. Prac- tises commenced this week with Mr. Robt. E. Becktel as organist and Mr. J. A. Stewart choir leader. A similar joint service at ,Christmas was very much appreciated by the three con- gregations.

Mr, Lech; ner did not visit his homeland, Cze- choslovakia, which is now under Communist rule. "I didn't even try to get into Czechoslovakia," Mr. Lechner said. He has a sister living in Austria and it was there he visited. No word whatever of friends or relatives reached him from his home country, but he met plenty of old friends in Austria. Things are pretty tough in Aus- tria, he reports. This country is under four -power control. There is plenty of work to be had but little money, just enough to live on. France is little better unless you have American dollars. Switzerland, on the other hand, is well off, but ex- pensive. England is in good shape, most signs of war damage have dis- appeared and no one is starving. Meats and fats are hard to get in England. Mr. Lechner also has rela- tives in England whom he visited.

The new edition contains 140 pages in its alphabetical section as compared with 132 in the alphabet- ical section of its predecessor, and lists numbers for Stratford, Goder- ich, Mitchell and Clinton. Issuing directories is a large-scale publishing operation, the manager said. Last year The Bell Telephone Company of Canada published one or more editions of 38 directories, containing 1,611,176,000 pages. If the 2,500 tons of paper used could be turned back into trees, they would cover more than, 500 acres of timber- land. C. W. L. HOLDS " - ST.

S. No. 1, Hullett celebrated their last meeting of the season, by all the members contributing to a very bounteous slipper, the main item on the menu being oysters. There were 16 members and 4 ehild- ren present. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing euchre, 500, and Chinese checkers. to lock these lockers. One student, well aware of this fact, had placed a lock on his locker about a week ago. On Friday, at noon hour, this student decided to play a game of basketball, with his fawner friends in the gymnasium. On changing into his P.T. equipment, he placed his clothes into the locker, in which, by the way, he has no partner, and shut the door. Another grade X student, before going up to the gymnasium lent a helping hand (intentionally or not'?) and locked the padlock on the first student's locker. Oltl too late the truth carne to light; his keys were in his pants locked snugly away in the locker. We wonder if that student (dressed in shorts) caught cold while opening his locker with a screwdriver and hem- mer, for as yet he has not been back to school. This won't happen again for now that student has a partner who will also carry a key to the locker.

Students appeared in the halls of S.H.S. proudly displaying their green colours. One boy with a great deal of Irish in him wore a green dress and had his hair very prettily tied in a piece of green ribbon. With this costume on he went through the af- ternoon of St. Patrick's Day.

MacKay, who passed peacefully to rest at her home, The Albion Hot.eI. She had been taken suddenly ill, two days previously. In her death another connection is severed with pioneer days in the village. Born in Bayfield. January 1, 1872, she was the last sur- viving member of the family of Maria Smythe and Edward Elliott; five brothers and two sister having pre- deceased her. With the exception of four years spent in Brucefield, when a very small child, she had lived all her life in Bayfield, Widely known by a large elientel dating from her early childhood, Mrs. MacKay's friendly personality will be greatly missed in the village. She had - lived in her late residence since 1890 when the Albion Hotel was run by her Parents. On April 18, 1906, she was married to Hugh H. MacKay and in, 1914 they took over the management of the hotel, from her mother, The deceased woman was a member of Trinity Churelt and during her younger days took an active part in the Sunday School and choir, being organist for six years. She was also a member of the Ladies Guild, of Trin- ity Church, A great reader, possessed of a keen retentive memory, she tools an active interest hi the Library, of which she was a director for some years. Besides her husband, she is survived by two daughters, Alpha (Mrs. R. L. Bassett), and Miss Ellen MacKay, also one granddaughter, Bar- bara Bassett. The funeral which was very largely attended was held from her late resi- dence on Sunday afternoon, at two o'clock. The burial service was read by the rector Rev. La Verne Morgan, Mrs. R. B, Johnston at the piano and Trinity 'Church Choir led in the sing, ing of two favorite hymns "Abide with me" and "Jesus Saviour Pilot me." interment was made in Bayfield cem- etery.
