This Week At the
BY KEN
Step right up, folks! Don't miss
the festival of the year. Take your
time; this big celebration lasts
from the hours of 9 to 1. Lots of
room for all!
. '1'he decoration committee, under
Mr. Allison, is making its final de-
but before the doors are throw n
open on the largest festival of the
N ear, "The New Orleans Madigras."
For the past two weeks the school
;auditorium has been in its annual
hustle and bustle to make ready
For the biggest dance of the school
year, the• .At home. Bright elabor-
ations have already suggested that
are final touches are being added
and that when the hour of judg-
ment arrives the critics should be
well pleased with the festive show-
ing. Everything from red-cheeked
clowns to Waltzing Matilrlas have
been arranged, to make the night
the gayest possible. .
At the latter part of last week,
committee chairman Hugh Gorwill,
was seriously worrying whether his
small group could make it by the
zero hour. Immediately following
the holidays a good crew showed
up each night to give the chairman
a hand, but by the time the end
of last week rolled around, only
the old faithfuls were making the
n'ightly appearance. By the time
Monday made it appearance, most
of the able art talent realized the
situation, so the past week has
been quite successful as far as co,
operation goes.
Nevertheless, year after year it
is usually only about a dozen good
hard workers that make the big
night possible. It's a wonder some

the same people doing all the work,
wouidu't stop lo see if they could
be of some assistance. This means

Now that most of the work is
done for preparing, let's see a good

tre towards the purchase of a fan
for the dance hall. About 100 box-
es were packed for -the County
Home, where the Institute is to
visit Friday, January 15.
The program on Citizenship and
Education, under the direction of
Mrs. G. Popple, opened with sing-
ing
in>ing "Home on the }range." Mrs.
Paul Doig very ably dealt with the
motto. "Don't waste time looking
at your hill, climb it." To do this
is a sign of childishness. If we try
our.best, we can tackle a thing and
do it, and when people do their
best, Providence usually steps, in
to help. .
Hear Burns' Talk
Mrs. David Ritchie was the guest
speaker and chose as her subject,
"Robert. Burns" -very fitting for
the January meeting. Burns is
honored as one • of the wor'ld's
granter1 sons• and we will be cele-
brating his 2110th` birthdn.y in five
.years, 1-1e was the oldest of seven
children, and as a child and young
man l;new greaj poverty, and hard-
shipIndependence was one of his
great ideals, and he rebelled
aiiains,t man's inhumanity to man.
His untimely death at 37 was due
largely to early poverty and hard-
ships. Robert Burns was a great
man. great perhaps in 'his weak-
ness, but great also in his strength,
and the world will always cele-
brate his birthday as Scotland's
greatest national poet, and one of
the greatest poets of all time.
Mrs. Elmer Cameron favored
with some Scottish music, and Mrs.
E. Whitmore moved the vote of
thanks to the hostess and those
taking part in the program. The
meeting closed with "God Save the
Queen" and a social half-hour was
enjoyed.

MRS. DAVID WATSON
BLY'I'H.-The last member of a
pioneer fancily of this community,
Mrs. David Watson. died Thursday,
Jan. 7, at the home of her daugh-
ter and son-in-law. Mr. and Mrs.
Russell McDonald. Hullett town-
ship boundary. Mrs. Watson. who
was in -her S7th year. had been in
fairly- good health until a month
ago when she suffered a cerebral
hccemorrhaae, Mrs, Watson was
born in Blt nshard township, . Be-
Itre her .marriage she was Simina
Wells.
When quite young she moved
with her parents and they took u.p
farming on the Hullett boundary
line. At the same time the Wat-
son family also came from Blan-
shard to settle on a Hullett town-
ship farm nearby. When Simina
Wells was 18 years of age, she
married David Watson, and togeth-
er they farmed until 1931, when
they retired to the village of Wal-
ton, where both of 'them were ac-
tive members of Walton United
Church. Sixteen years ago Mr.
There is something badly lacking
in Seaforth's hockey spirit. We
forget about the kids. Last Satur-
day night one of the best hockey
games on Seaforth ice this season
was battled out 4n the evening's
doubleheader. Only about 50 fans
saw these two fast games that
have much more spirit, punch and
drive than any of the bigger clubs
have. One of the town's beat.
hockey fans, Mr. W. J. Duncan,
does not hesitate to verify this
point.
It is not as if Seaforth was Sup-
porting losing miiror clubs, but
both the Midgets and the Bantams
are two of the better WOAA teams
in their brackelts. Not only do the
coaohes and sponsors• get discour-
aged at the poor attendance, but
the young kids) feel they are en-
titled to some support.
Thursday night•hockey fans saw
the best game played on Seaforth
ice this season. Saturday night
London bockey" fans saw the most
one-sided hockey possible. In the
Thursday night contest, A. J. Ald-
ridge coached the Lou Bali squad
in the •place of the regular coach,
Red Geddes. Before the game Ald-
ridge warned his boys that they
would have to work and skate their
hardest all the time if theyy wanted
to stay in the running. This is
just exactly What the London team
did, and toe a result made Seaforth
work the entire 60 minutes: to
make aura of a win.
Saturday. morning, what do we
see? Red Geddes returning to the
Lou Ban Coaching seat that night
reed with him he le taking a secret

lit the wrong end. With hot -tem-
per Geddes back in the Forest City,
he co-piloted bis team into the
worst defeat possible.
Maybe half of Manager Lou
Ball's problem lies in the differ-
ences in coaches.
For the pas -:t --week or more Sea -
forth has been finding some un-
pleasant difficulty in obtaining two
Midgets from Brussels. The Brus-
sels team is not being entered this
season, butnevertheless the offi-
cials of the Brussels minor hockey
teams do not want to release the
players- to S'ea'forth for the sea:son.
If these boys do not. play for Sea -
forth this season, they will go a
whole season without seeing any
action. Do you think this is fair
to the 'boys?' Is it sport?
