CHRISTMAS CHEER
FUNDS RAISED,
On Tuesday night, Seaforth and vi-
cinity again demonstrated its willing-
ness to help'in any good work, espec-
ially a good work undertaken by an
organization which has proved so
capable as the Lions Club. The plan
of the hall opened Saturday morning,
Nov: 19th, and in a few hours the re-
served seats were nearly all sold.
Needless to say, a packed house greet-
ed the "Favorite Four" concert art-
ists, of London, assisted by Archie
McCulloch, baritone. The programme
was of a high order, and with suf-
ficient variety to provide entertain-
ment for all. The proceeds will am-
ount to 'about $125, which will go to-
wards the Lions Christmas Cheer
Fund.
It might be mentioned that any citi-
zen, whether a Lion member or not
will be allowed to participate in the
distribution of "Christmas Cheer," if
that citizen so wishes. Donations may
be handed in to any of the Lion Club
officers,
SEAFORTH HOME AND
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION:
The first public meeting of Seaforth
Horne and School Associatic4n was
well attended last Friday evdning in
the Assembly Room of the Collegiate
'Tnstitnte. The large audience ' follow-
ed with keen interest and evidentap-
preeiation the.debateby members of
the :Lions Club ands the introductory
remarks of its chairman; Dr, iChas,
Mackay; the: highly informative ad-
dress of .Dr. Burrows and speeches by
Mayor' Golding, the Principal of the
Collegiate, Mr. 'Geo. Spencer, and the
President of the Home and School
Association, Mrs. S. W. Ar4hibald.
Musical numbers 'by Mr, 'Ed. Bright,
iblr, A. D. Sutherland, Mrs,' Lane,
Mrs. Bechely and Miss Eleanor Evans
were much enjoyed and heartily ap-
plauded. Everyone will be glad to
know that the funds of the Associa-
tion were increased some $20.
Our question—'`If by some ,strange
chance not a vestige of us descended
to the remote ftuure, save a pile of
our school books, or same college ex-
amination .papers, we may ,imagine
how puzzled an antiquary of the per-
iod would be on fin,iling in them no.
sign that the learners were ever likely
to be parents. 'This must have been
the curriculum of their celibates,' we
may fancy him concluding. `See here
an elaborate preparation for many
things; especially for reading the
books of extinct nations and of co-
existing nations; but I find no refer-
ence whatever to the bringing up of
children. They could not have been
so absurd as to omit all training for
this gravest of responsibilities, Evid-
ently, then, this was the school course
of one of their monastic orderV"
"It isan astounding fact that no
instruction is given to young people
concerning the treatment of children,
although the larger majority of them
will sooner or later become p;arents."'
--Herbert Spencer in The Ontario
Hone and School Review,
DANIEL J. DEVEREAUX.
The many relatives and former
friends of Mr. Daniel J. Devereaux
deeply regretted to hear his very
sudden death at his home in Los
Angeles, Cal., on Thursday, Nov. 24th,
The cause of his death is not definite-
ly known yet. Mr. Devereaux was
born 62 years ago, son of the late John
and Mrs, Devereaux, who resided on
the farm now owned by Mr. S. F.
Carron, just east of town on the
Huron Road. He was a graduate of
Seaforth Collegiate and obtained his
certificate at the Goderich Model
School. Mr. Devereaux did not teach
but joined the hardware. business in
Seaforth owned by the late David
Johnson. A few years afterwards he
because a member of the Kimbark.
Hardware Retaii`Co in Chicago as
city sales manager. While in Chicago
he married Agnes Cowan, of Chicago,
formerly of this vicinity. He purchas-
ed a 'hardware business in Edmonton
and remained there till a few years
ago when he moved to Los Angeles.
There are Mrs. Devereaux and four
dhildren surviving: Raymond, Spring-
field, O.; Adeline in Chicago; Helen
and Daniel at home. One sister and
four brothers are living: Mrs, John
McDonald, Walton; John Devereaux,
Wm. Devereaux Sr., Robert Dever-
eaux and James Devereaux, of Sea -
forth. The funeral was held on Sat-
urday in Los Angeles.
Mr. Devereaux was a very popular
young man in Seaforth while in the
hardware business, and won many
friends wherever he went through his
gentlemanly character. Though it is
some years since he made his last
visit here, he was always a most wel-
come. visitor.
WAS ARRESTED.
C. G. 1. T.
The regular weekly meeting, of the
Marian Keith C.G.I.T. was .held in the
Sunday school room of Northside
United Church on the evening, of -No-
vember the 23rd, at seven o'clock, The
meeting opened with the C.G.I.T.
hymn, and after prayer a few songs
were sung. Each member took hart
in the Scripture lesson by repeating
a verse of Scripture, The roll was
called and answered and the ;minutes
12 the last meeting were read and
adopted. The business part of the
meeting was `then discussed. It was
decided that the C.G.I.T. girls would
put on a play after Christmas, Miss
Elva Wheatley, second vice-president,
then took the place of the president,
ivtiss Laura MacMillan, taking charge
of the physical program. Miss Mary
Barber played a very pleasing piano
solo, after which Dr. Burrows gave a
very interesting and instructive ad-
dress on first aid, namely, on the
subjects, fainting, fracture and drown-
ing. Miss Anna Edmunds then sang
a sweet solo, followed by a piano solo
by Miss Eileen Chapman. After the
collection the meeting closed with
the singing of the C. G. I. T. bene-
diction.

CORN BORER CONTROL,
The Agricultural Representative
has informed us that several farmers
have inquired of him recently, whe-
ther or not they will be allowed to
continue growing corn. This question
no doubt has been brought about by
.the Act respecting the Corn Borer,
which applies now to that part of the
County, south of the C.P.R. running
from Goderich East. -
It is not the intention of those in
authority to prohibit the growing of
corn, The Corn Borer Act has to do
with the control of this pest. Sug-
gestions as to the best method of con-
trolling the Corn Borer have been
placed in the hands of all Corn Grow-
ers in thearea affected, i ected The Corn
Borer Inspector is appointed to sec
that the Act is enforced and that
clean up measures are taken in order
to control the pest.
'Farmers are advised therefore ' to
grow as much corn as they wish, pro-
viding they are prepared to clean up
their corn ground in a manner that
will meet with tine approval of those
responsible
enforcement of the
for the
Corn Borer Act.
JAIL FOR CHICKEN THIEVES,
The promise. of an amendment to
the criminal code, making chicken
stealing 1by imprisonment
punishable int ri onment
instead of by a fine, has been secured
by -Attorney -General Price from the
federal authorities. Chicken stealing
has become a major' problem in rural
Ontario, motor trucics being used in
some sections.Huron County has
suffered to quite an. extent, farmers
sometimes resorting to the shotgun
4o protect their fowl from thieves,
The difficulty of coping with this
form of thievery so far has been that
the criminal code provided a fine as
alternative tri imprisonment where the
value of the theft does not exceed $20.
It is to be hoped that -the certainty'
of a jail sentence if caught, will deter
these parasites, who are too lazy to do
a bit of honest work for themselves,
from taking in a single night the re-
sults of weeks and months of caring
for the young fowl by the farmer or
his wife,
