TUCKERSMITH PAIR
MARRIED 25 YEARS
Councillor and Mrs. Harry
Chesney Are Honored
By Friends
On Friday night, March 26th, abomtt
100 friends and 'neighbors gathered
at the home of 'Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Chesney, east of Egmondville, to wish
them well on their twenty-fifth wed-
ding anniversary. The evening was
most enjoyably spent in cards and
dancing.
Lunch was served at midnight atter
whlch Mr. Robert Harrison read an
address and Messrs. 'Warden Haney
and John Oldfield presented Mr. and
Mrs. Chesney with a beautiful cedar
chest. Mr. Chesney replied to the ad:
dress, 'and after singing "For They
Are Jolly Good Fellows," dancing was
resumed till the early morning.
The following;is the. address: "To
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chesney: Dear
Harry and Jennie: .We, a few of your
friends, very generously invited' our-
selves to assist you in celebrating the
twenty-fifth anniversary of a very im-
portant event in your lives. As this
event happened at the same date in
each of your lives, we save consider-
able time in having bath celebrations
at the same time. Many, many years

ago, a young lad and a lass ,Met and
seemed very much drawn to, each- oth-
er—especially after dark—and after
much bargaining and bickering and
swapping of confidences and other
nice things (we often think it is a
good thing couches don't talk), they
decided if it did not cost too much,
they would commit matrimony.
"Even in those early days you could
not commit anything without a license
or permit, so the lad's name being'
Harry,. he "harried" a CIerk and se-
cured a license •for knot -tying and
forthwith beguiled this poor innocent
young girl to come with him to the
Manse and have a short talk with •the
minister, It happened he went away
from there a changed ,mau.'in fact
only half 'a man—.but with' a help-
mate who has since shared his joys,

we hope with much of Life's pleasures
ahead and we hope that no very ser-
ious calamities may happen to them.
or theirs for many'years to. come, and
that we all may be spared .to cell.,

friendship as neighbors, kindly accept
this gift, loaded with wishes for a
long extension of happy years of life,"

START ORGANIZATION
THROUGHOUT COUNTY
Citizens of Huron County: The
opening of the Fourth Victory Loan
is rapidly drawing- near. A tremen-
dous job faces us. It can only be
carried through to a successful con-
clusion by the co-operation :of . every
citizen.. The Huron County general
canvass objective 'for the Fourth- Vic-
tory Loan will undoubtedly he .in ex-
cess of the amount - raised on the
Third Victory Loan. From the figures
'below, listing the Dominion of Canada
objectives and the _total cash applica-
tions on previous loans, you will ap-
preciate why our objective must be
substantially increased.
Dom. of Canada ' Total Cash
Objective - - Applications
First Loan .. $ 600 million .$730 million
Second Loan 60e " 843 " ,
Third Loan 750 " 991 "
Fourth Loan 1,100
We wish to point out once again,
that the minimum objective for this
Ivan is $1,100,000,000, and the amount
raised on the ThirdVictory Loan
from all sources was $991,000,000. We
must raise more than the .minimum
objective. Mr: Ilsley has asked us to
raise at least $1250,000,000.
Mr. Ilsley has asked that individual
subscribers buy a total of $500;000,-
000. The 'balance 'of the money will
be raised from the Special Names,
Insurance Companies, Financial Cor-
porations, and individuals capable of
purchasing $25,000 or • more. •
The Province of Ontario, the rich-
est in the Dominion, has always pro-
vided- approximately 50 per cent. of
the. total .amount raised in the Do-
minion, both from general canvas and
special names. The Province of On-
tario will therefore, likely .be asked to
raise, in general canvas, $250,000,000.
We list below the previous provincial
objectives and amounts raised:
Ontario ''
General Canvass
• Objective Raised
First Loan - $151,000,000 $157,000,000
Second Loan 145,000,000' 169,000,000
Third' Loan 158,000,000 188,400,000
From a study of the above figures,
you will note that the Province rais-
ed, in General Canvass, on the Third
Victory Loan $188,000,000, and will
likely be asked to raise $250,000,000
this time.
The citizens of Huron County will
be asked to accept their share of this
all-out war effort. We must succeed.
We have sufficient money to over-
subscribe any objective given us:
Huron County
General Canvass
Objective Raised
First Loan $1,300,000 $2,1'00,200
Second Loan 1,800,000 2,109,250
Third Loan 1,900,000 2,280,150
The citizens of Hums County will
be asked to' buy more bonds. Our ob-
jective wily he up—not down. We
must and can exceed any objective
by a wide margin. "Back the attack"

Operated continuously since 1860 in

on Saturday evening. • The business
was founded by the late Alexander
Cardno, pioneer resident of 'Seaforth.
The decision to. close the business
was made necessary by the appoint-
ment of NeIeon C. Oardno to a• com-
mission cmc the, R -C.N.V.R. He reports

'Situated in the Cardno 1ilock, 'larg-

which includes' Cardno's Hall, the
scene of countless gatherings through-
out the history of the town, the busi-
ness was conducted successively by
Alexander Cardno, his sons, John and
George- Cardno, and his grandsons,
Nelson and John Cardno. The third
generation John Cardno joined the
Army about -a year ago and since
then his brother has 'carried on alone.

Fine. Salt At 1100 Feet on
Property Near C. N. R.

COMMENCE TO
ERECT BUILDINGS
First step in the re-establishment
of Seaforth as a leading salt produc-
ing centre was successfully complet-
ed last week, when drillers' reached
an 'extensive bed of pure fine salt at
1100 feet. '
3iist twelve months ago W. R. Bel-
den, of Philadelphia, arrived here and
spent' all of last summer endeavoring
to reopen . one of the old salt wells,
but becaj,se of cave-ins could not get
through to the bottom of the wells.
Then on the advice of drillers, a new
well was Commenced on January ,1st
of this year, by the Evans Company
of Tillsonburk, who completed what is
believed to be a perfect salt producer.
The - well, drilled through solid
rock for 1,000 feet, was cased to cut
off •surface water when a flow of brine
was encountered and this rose to 100
feet of the surface. Continuing drill-
ing, the bed of pure, fine salt *as
struck,, much of this excellent salt,be-
ing brought, up by the sand pump.
Drilling was done some 60 feet into
this salt bed and the well was com-
pleted at 1,100 feet. •
Construction of necessary buildings
will 'Commence at once, Mr, Belden
stated. Th'e, work will be done by
Harry Hart, S'eaforth contractor.
