CHRISTMAS SEAL
CAMPAIGN APPEAL
Editor The Seaforth. News.
Dear Sir,—I would be pleased ie
You would publish this letter so that
your subscribers may become fam-
iliar with Christmas seal campaign
districts.
"It has been my pleasure for the
past few years to act as chairman
for the Seaforth Red 'Cross districts
in connection with the annual
Christmas seal campaign fund in
the interests of- Queen Alexandra
Sanatorium.
This year all funds raised in con-
nection with the Christmas seal
campaign will be used in the County' Support Your Hospital
of Huron for the elimination of tu-
Suport the Hospital Aid
berulosis and the tree x-raying of
I I.
Now Kenneth was thinking deeply
Not many months ago,
I am tired of single blessedness,
It's not good for me, I know.
I'll not be a stern old bachelor
From matrimony free,
I'll
hunt me up a maiden
Who'll be suited just for me.
With this in mind he shook his fist
And firmly did declare,
I'll do it now or never,
So maidens all beware.
He dressed up.in his best attire,
Like crusader of old
And started bravely on his quest,
No lover was more bold.
He started up his Diver
And stepped on the gas;
He rushed to the highway
And down to Waterloo he went
With no limit to his speed,
And off to Nellie's house
To pop the question clear.
Will you be mine, my darling?
And marry me my dear.
Mow Nellie quite excited,
By this time you may guess,
Looked up at her Prince charming
And shyly whispered "yes"
Hurrah! said Kenneth dismounting,
I knew I couldn't miss,
I'll take no chance of forfeit
I'll seal it with a kiss.
They hurried to the minister,
To 'him their bliss they told
And very kindly asked -him
Their happy lives to mould.
"I do" said Kenneth contented,
"I will" said the blushing bride,
And hand in hand they started,
To face whate'er betide.
To -night we all salute you,
Girls bring the gift in sight,
And many years of happiness'
We wish you to -night.
Your friends.

For the next three issues this pa-
per will carry articles dealing with
the Scott Memorial Hospital. This
hospital is one of 600 public hospi-'
tals in'Canada, giving care to pa-'
dents for 365 days a year.
We in Seaforth are fortunate in
having such. a modern ' up-to-date'
hospital,
The Hon, Russell T. Kelley, Min-
ister of Health, was favorably in-'
pressed with what he saw when he
visited here.
Hospitals have suffered through
the war years. Repairs and altera-'
tions could not be made due to short -i
age of supplies and full-time Occup-
anon of all rooms. ,
Maintenance costs were higher,
nurses were not available and staff
shortages hampered the amount of
patient care given.
Now Haat peace has returned you
may do your share in aiding a. com-
munity property, your hospital. I
Read this ,paper next week a.nd

Hospital has done for you.

"The czar of price control, Donald
Gordon, with whom we have no quer•-!

previously there has been relaxation.
in prices of other commodities and if,
this is the case, we feel there must bel
some relief for agriculture," I
I- Prices of. manufactured goods have
!increased because of higher costs of

Betzner stated.
, "We have no quarrel with the eight

clared "buti
f the farmers must t

then they must get.prices adequate
to pay their help on an eight-hour
