SEAFORTH, Friday, January 23 Get l3usy The annual meeting of the Sea - forth Chamber of Commerce, held on friday evening of last week, recalls the fact that thi's organization has now' been in existence a year: It is true that -a year -is but a short space of time, 'but in that short space of time, we woulddsay that the Cham- ber of Commerce , has abundantly, proven itself to be an organization ,of great benefit to Seaforth. In fact, no organization in a good many years, has created and maintained as much of the interest of the people,., of the town. It has created. no antog- onism ; it has asked and received the cordial co-operation of .. the citizens generally, as well as that of the town - council, and while its work has mit been spectacular, it has been thor- ough and has advanced ,,the town's interest In a good many ways. In some- of its projects it has been disappointed; not through lack of endeavor or miscalculation, but only through circumstances which could not be foreseen at the time, and over which it had no control. ' Two of the Chamber's first pro jects were- the-' endeavor to secure -a •. public rest room, and stabling ac- commodation for the adjoining farm- ing community that does business in Seaforth. A rest room and one that would have been a model for any town, was almost an accomplished' fact, when ' the modern building which had been donated for its use, • was unexpectedly leased, and the project was up in the air again. But a new situation will be found, and the furniture and accessories al- a ready procured will be installed. A rest room for the women and chil dren of the country is a present day - necessity that no live town can -af- ford to be without, and the merch- ants of 'Seaforth, with the Chamber of Commerce,' fully realize that fact. The providing of stabling, howev- er, has proven a much more difficult task. Seaforth has no hotel stabling and no church sheds for the accom- Meda-Ri'of-farmers. horsesin either winter or. slimmer. The committee in charge of this actiyi'tr•, have•given it a lot of thought and have spent a lot' of their tiine in going over the "town looking for suitable lireinises, but were unsuccessful in finding any- thing that would sufficiently answer the purpose. This week, however, a new stabling proposition has. opened up, and, we believe, it will be .fully investigated and if at all feasible, advantage will be taken of.it. To properly fit it will entail some work and the spending of some money. Even so, the one hun- dred dollars already contributed to this project,44y a anonymous. old boy, who still has the interests of ' the town at heart, will make a start, and more, we know, will: be willingly sub- scribed. That, with tie ' eager co- operation of the farmers in the ad- joining townships, which has alrea-dy'' been promised, should" make' com- modious and suitable stabling accom- modation . for Seaforth an accom- plished fact. 'Lack of stabling accommodation in any town ,during our Canadian winters, is a much heavier business loss than many merchants and rate- payers realize. To them the horse and, buggy 'days are gone forever. Why bother? But that is not the - view of the country people, and whe- ther a town is going to be alive or dead; rests largely with the' country people. • - Tlie. people in the towns have go to waken up to the fact—and v r •�' soon,, ntoo,. if they expect to conti rile an ,Isusin6shat the horse and bug - `'da sre'not things of the past. It - trtie that they have gone a long irt"t it, is equally true to -Say drat fi, i now:1on. their Way back again at least, as long as the War. .,.s-. 'iecesar 60- t,0 -.ited. How long or how far ean'peo- ple drive ..,cars without either gas or tirest? Think about that a little. Think about the time next sum- mer, next fall and next winter when there is more than a possibility that you will see more horses on the roads than_ you have seen in twenty-five years. And, if you are Seaforth peo- ple, think about where le the owners are going to put those horses when they come into your town, because they are not going to come if you don't. And now would be as good a time as any to get busy along that line of thought. ' • 'Why Not Tell It All ? "s Giving the opinions of some of the Ontario.. weekly papers, under the double' column head: `Ontario Week- ly Press Voices Demand For An All - Out War Effort by Canada," the Globe and Mail on -Monday Iast quot- ed the Fergus News -Record as fol- lows: - "We must do much more than we are doing. But we must do it in ways that will bring the great- est -advantage to the cause of the United Nations: We are _ net con- vinced that the form : of conscription, as. introduced near the end of the Iast war, is the right way. It does not go nearly far enough. It takes the youth of Canada andorces them to risk their Iives and` leaves older - people and their resources untouch- ed. We feel • that something broader than Mere `conscription' is required." The above is, we believe, a correct quotation from the,News Record, but why did not the Globe and Mail :4uote: a_few, 'nore_paragraphs' from .the same editorial written by Hugh Templin, editor of the News -Record, who has recently, returned from England. Why not tell it all? We have some slight suspicion why the Toronto paper was so brief, but we will quote a few more paragraphs from the same editorial from which the 'Globe and Mail" quoted, so that our readers will be able to form their,.... own guesses. Mr. Templin said: "In all fairness it should" be pointed out .that the Doixtiniori Government -has done a , great deal already to_ make Canada's war effort wellworth while. One of these things has been an honest ef- fort to keep prices down. There has been no such chance to profiteer this time as there was in -the Iast war. There have been other restrictions; too, which have benefitted millions, but musthave stepped on -a few toes." "For some reason the Globe and Mail has had a spite at Prime Min- ister King. It is backing the various movements to stir up discontent and apparently has a considerable share in this latest project. This is one More, reason for 'regarding it with suspicion. The Globe° and Mail stili calls itself `Canada's National News- paper,' but it would have a hard time proving it." "Of course you, can write to your Member- of P-arliament if you .like. That won't do any particular harm. If you write your own opinions in- stead of echoing those of some per- sons unknown, it may do ,;cod. But we suggest that you wait until Par-- Iiament opens and see what is really the program before condemning it, At least, that would be drone sens- i'ble.", - "And when somebody tells you that the United States is doing more in., proportion to `population and wealth than 'Canada hasalready done, the best answer is a hearty laugh." - • The Januarp Thaw ° We are told that the January thaw is as old as the Canadian winter;' and no real Canadian winter has ever come and gone without one. That is a mis-statement, of course, because while we pretend to be neither an octogenarian nor an auth- ority on the weather, we can remem- ber at least one winter, and that not so long ago, that January came and went without the sign of a thaw. But this winter is running true to form. We have had ai January thaw, and a real one too, with all its dis- comforts of rain and slush, and wet feet, and strong language on the state of the streets, and colds, and other things. .

He deplores it moat heartily. It is a tribute to his nature that when war broke out he switched rapidly from criticismof all world powers for having indulged in the last war to constructive criticism aim- ed at winning the war for the side of r:ghteousa.es's. Tthe war however, gage him. a principal joy. . . . that of telling each and every one of his, relatives and neighbors that they should cut down on their wasteful ways and become more saving. ir•'Eph has been an advocate of sal- vage for as long' as I can remember. It is al;!most an ..abeession with him. In fact the story is` told that on the rare occasions . when he has his hair cut he makes the barber spread a paper around the chair and he takes. thehair home with this: When you cohsider how long his hair is and. how 7t. Curls in a flowing gesture like min=: iature silver waterfalls over the col- lar of his smock you can appreciate the amount of hair._ he must be able totake home with him. It is a standing joke in our town- ship' that E'phshould be appoint i as Minister of War Services. Whefi the news came through about the appoint- raent'-to that position, Big Joe -Flan- nery edged his mackinaw cap back on his head, shifted his Alain's apple and neatly deposited the excess' chewing tobacco froth. his mouth by squirting it through the broken, mica in the stove in Murphy's Grocery Emporium and said: "Eph is the man. 'who should have had the salvage end of that job." .Everybody laughed then but seriously s;peaking . Eph could think up a great many ways to help this waraeffort of ours. Sit in his kitchen' and watch him at work on cedar splinters some night and -you will have a -greater ap predation for his work. With a jack knife in his hand- lie will pare a cedar 'stick down carefully into long, narrow strips and-. then lay them on the oven door. When he wants to light his pipe a splinter piked down through a hole in the lid of the stove where a bolt is out, will -come up with flames curling around it in a perfect way for lighting' a pipe.

He Is just think-, ing of all the -coal-oil that is being saved! Being a great • man for saving it is only. • natural that Eph should have some strange collections. On the walls of the horse stable he has neat rows, of spikes with salvaged binder twine hanging on them. His horse blankets are patched until the origin- al•ones have long disappeared into a, confusion of patches. They used to say on his' sideroad. that he lacked his car • ep and put it on blockt every time a came home just ito'sa4e the fires. Once he heard tell of an -Indian who mixed medicine out of herbs and used a small amount of soot in the mixture. Eph has been saving 'soot ever since. Long ago he stopped ,using shoe laces, he substi- tuted binder -twine. He even has twine dipped in lamp -black to use .with his Sunday shoes. He saves string and old papers and ire the driving shed he has each.daily paper of the past twenty-five years neatly rolled• up and stacked like cord wood. He figures that some day they may toe' of value. Most folks don't appreciate just how saving Eph really is. What real- ly impressed me was tibe case of the chewing gum. For a penny one day, about 20 years ago, I bought two big sticks of gum. I was chewing Odie and when Uncle,.E,pheoffered rag aerhie ,home from the village I offered him the other chew of gum. He took it and chewed it. One day last winter we were, 'over ---there : for --diviner and - after dinner he went over to the clock shelf and took a wad of gum off the side of the shelf and started to chew it. "Do you ,remember that chew 'of gum you gave me the day gave you aride out from the village?" he said proudly.. "Well,., the flavor came off it but I still have the gum. I chew. it after my meals; it seems to •help me digest' my food." Recent ,Bride Showered.

Canada by Hugh Templin of the Fergus News -Record. There seems to be no doubt that Prinie Minister Winston Churchill is the greatest' wartime leader 'Britain has had throughout her long history: He took office at a time when the fortunes, of ,Britain and the Empire were at a low ebb. Invasion of Eng- land seemed certain and the ability to resist successfully was doubtful. In the intervening months, Churchill has giventhe people -'new heart and bas aroused such enthusiasm that Eng- land, has stood up under bombing and threats with unparalleled courage. The danger ,of successful invasion •ap- pears to have passed. ,,.Powerful na- tions which feared, that Britain could not .hold out in the late months of 1940, are now ter allies in 1942. Winston Ohtirchill• has been visit- ing this continent. He camaet r talk over the unification of plans to win the war. Actually, his very presence and his effective speeches have, done much to stir up the L'inti,ted ,States and -Canada, as they had, previously 'heat-, ened the people of his---t>"tvii country.

Strangely enough,• or so it seemed to us, the prograre did not inelude an opportunity' to meet or even to see the Prime Minister. I be- lieve, that was because the people in London do not realize what an infl- enc.e Mr. Churchill exerts' in Canada. They clid not know how unanimously the resident of this country lay aside their work whenever ,he speaks over the air waves; they did not know that we regard him not only,, as the leader of the British Isles, but of the 'Empire.
