WAS ACTIVE IN
CHURCH WORK
The tragic accidental death of Miss
H. Isabel Graham, which occurred
early Wednesday evening, deeply:
moved the people of Seaforth and
vicinity, and. it seemed impossible to
realize that the famslfar figure which
had gone in and out amongst them
for so many years, the expressive
voice and the facile pen 'had been
stilled forever.
Shortly before seven o'clock on
Wednesday evening she called at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
Holmes;•.,on Victoria Street, to give
their daughter, Miss Elaine, 'her usual.
music lesson, She had come to the
side entrance from the inside landing
of .which a stair leads to the base-
ment and a door into' the dining room,,
where she was met by Mrs. Holmes,
whcr turned to precede her into the
+house. When Miss Graham did not
immediately •fo'llow, she returned and
was shocked to find that she had ,fal-
len- to the basement floor, although
no tiois'e 'of her fall or outcry, had
been heard, although that may have
been accounted for by the fact that
the radio was turned on.
Whether Miss Graham, became con-
fused and made' the wrong turning,
or whether she suffered a weak :spell,
is not known, but she had been in
this office :s'everal times during the
day and in the late afternoon had
complained of unusual weariness, so
there is a 'possibility of the latter,
which would account for no outcry
being heard.

The Seaforth Overseas Coipmittee,
which is charged with tthe responsi-
bllity of forwarding boxes to Seaforth
bd's ,overseas, is now' completing ar-
rangements for the shipment of
Christmas parcels. ,
While it is believed the list now in
the hand's of the committee is fairly
complete, it may be that the name of
same Seaforth boy has 'been omitted.
To avoid this it is requested that, the
names and complete addresses• of all
Seaforth boys serving overseas be
forwarded immediately to E. C. Bos-
well, the chairman of the committee.

Legion Makes Annual
Appeal on Poppy Day
The' local Bra°n•ch of the eana:dian
Legion is making. its annual Poppy
Day appeal to the people of this com-
munity on Saturday, November 8th.
The Poppy Fund is now a recognized
institution wherever the Canadian
Legion exists in Canada, an it ,serves
a two -fold purpose of much merit, The
.money which is raised by bhe distri-
bution of the poppy the symbol of
sacrigce—'is used' entirely to relieve
unusual distress among war veterans
and their families. At all times, it
'has been found that the veterans, in
view of the fact that many of them
have disabilities and handicaps, sut-
tee even more than, others who are
out of employment, since many of
them erqu'ire •special care and atten
tion which thee are enable to provide.
This is Where the Poppy Fund, raised
through the sale of ,poppies by the
local branch oC . the Legion, atepee in
and provides reliief for the'd'ituation.

manufactured - in the Vetcraft Shops
of Canada, workshops in 'which handi- .
capped veterans are given sheltered
employment, and in which they manu-
facture the huedre'ds of thousands r,f
'pop•ples which are distributed every
year at this time. By wearing a pop-
py, citizens can find much satisfac-
tion in knowing that they are help-
ing those handicapped veterans to oh-
tain a livelihood Which they would
otherwise lack on account of thele
special disabilities.
