TVOLI hy
Verses of
Lofty Appeal'
This review of Miss Graham's book
of poems, "Be Of Good Cheer," is
from a recent issue of the London
Free Press:
"II. Isabel Graham, born near Sea -
forth, a daughter of the Manse, up-
on whom. the Muse bas cast a rich
mantle of fancy and imagination, of-
fers another garland of verse, "Be of
Good Cheer." In the 130 poems in
this little book, one catches the echo
of her training and reading in the
Manse of her father, Rev. William
Graham, Presbyterian minister of
Egmondville; her mother, by the way,
was Elizabeth Gouirslock, a name
with an authentic Scottish ring.
Tribute to the Ayrshire Ploughman
is paid in a dialect poem in Auld
Scots, "Robert Burns," and there is
something distinctly Burnsian in her
"There's Aye a Something," a happy
little commentary on the inevitable-
ness of a "something" in life.
Sae, inane rash yer held, ye fool
But tak a seat in wisdom's school
And learn this guid auld-fashioned
rule,
There's aye a something.
In "rhe Man Inside the Hearse,"
Miss Graham ,takes a whimsical view
of the quiet satisfactions which may
have come to...r‘t • with •the
jnam-
bent, and in "To a Mosquito," she re-
turns to the Ayrshire .poet for her
communion with Ontario's mast ag-
gravating pest. There are number
of verses of lofty appeal, gentle senti-
ment, and clear insight reflecting -the
author's measure of the ways and
manners of mankind, and the essen-
tial beauty of this, spinning bubble on
which we dwell ---the world."

John Beattie, Lions Club
Speaker, Marks Fiftieth
Christmas in Business in
Seaforth.
WAS ORGANIZED
DECEMBER 9, 1924
The Seaforth Liens has expended
over $20,000 on welfare work and
community benefits since i,ts forma-
tion, members learned on Monday ev-
ening. The club was formed on De-
cember 9, 1924, and this week's meet-
ing observed the 15th birthday.
In bringing the birthday occasion
to the attention of the members,
President A. Y. !McLean read the
names of the charter members, nine
of whom are now members. He also
refereed to the record established by
Lion John Beattie, who this year
meats his, 50th Christmas in busi-
ness on Seaforth's Main Street.
Speaking on "Make a Friend To-
day," Lion Beattie told the members
how he had come upon- a Nem with
the seine title as that of his address,
and how he had studied it and what
it had meant 'to him,
Lion C. A. Barber was chairman of
the meeting and introduced the
speaker. He also expressed the ap-
preciation of the club to Messrs. Earl
VanEgmoild. and James T. Scott for
their co-operation and help during
the year. Lion W. J. Duncan, on be-
half of the meeting, thanked Lion
Beattie for, his .helpful address.
"Just about fifty years ago I arrived
in Seaforth, •took up my position on
Main Street," the speaker said in
part, "and ever since that time
"1 ne'r have changed, nor wished to
change, my place." I came here full
of young dreams and full of young
blood. Many of those dreams were
never realized, but thanks to a kind
Providence, some of •them came true.
As for the young blood, well it is not
like, some other commodities, it does
not improve with, age, but even on
that score I have no complaint. Dur -
big all those years I have been in-
terested in selling things, and natur-
ally I have handled many different
lines, some good, some not so good.
I come to you tonight still in the roll
of a salesman, andproud to present
the finest line I have ever offered.
And Lions here I present to you my
line:
If I could make a friend today, 1
would not ask for greater :kora
If just one soul would come and say,
we shall be comrades eventore,
I would not need to count my gold to-
night, vohen all my labors end,
My heart a greater wealth would hold
if I could say 1 made a friend.
If I could have a friend tonight 1 did
not 'have at this day's dawn,
One hand that held my fingers tight,
one breast that 1 could lean upon;
1 would not need to calculate how
much my profit, much my trade,
My gain today to estimate, if 1 could
say a friend 1 made.
I today a friend (atilt! find, amid
the labor and the stress,
Some toiling brother kindred mind,
some hand to clasp in tenderness,
It would not matter what reward, the
day had brought me on its way,
If 1 could say, 1 thank the Lord, 1
know I made a friend today.
