Sawa This Week At the Seaforth BY HEN LARONE If you had the -opportunity of vis- iting the premises of S.D.H.S. last ;E'ridiay, you would have been under the impression that it was the home ter 'the old and decrepit. Mus- cular stiffness was ruling the roosts following Thursady's track and field meet. The big handicae prov- ed to be the poor general ph;'sical condition of the participating rth- letes. With the weatherman doi.rg • his best the previous week •to dampen all plans, few had. the op- portunity of getting themselves in- to shape for the big test. Hats off to Ruth Sills, Marg. Achilles, Hazel Slavin, Ken Thomp- son, Leon Murray and Doug Keyes, who ran off with all the silver- ware. Runner-up to Ruth. in the junior girls was Barbara Boyd, and running second in the intermediate and senior girls' events were 'Katy Campbell and Lena Miller.

During the last part of this week the Sea - forth High School Cadet Corps. will be putting the final' touches to the military life for this term. Next Wednesday has been selected as the day for the big trials.• Since the return to school after Easter holidays, the army's activ- ity has dominated the tenth period action. Well over 250 cadets have daily been stepping through their paces in an all-out effort to main- tain our reputation of being one of the best corps in the Province. Although the bugle band has slightly . diminished in numbers, well over half of last year's first- class band die still filling the ranks. At one time the band was regarded as the cream of the Cadet life. No longer! From all appear- ances it is strictly poison. When recruits are approached to join the musical company, the turned up noses should suggest an immediate feeling of joy and keen interest. It is much more fun to lug pan over- grown rifle than to porter a bugle. Just because the band has more funs, less tiresome commands, and .twice the. life, this should' not sug- gest th.e slightest idea of getting tr FOR SALE TRACTOR PLOWS NEW MASSEY-HARRIS and USED All Makes — 2 and 3 -Furrow Make us an offer!

A beautiful little Northwestern Ontario town, less than 2,000 population, is 'bedevilled by drink. It is in L.C.A. territory and' is amply supplied with legal liquor out- lets. They have two- beverage rooms, a government* liquor store, and a brewers' ware- house. A small group of citi- zens, greatly concerned at the deplorable conditions, met some time ago to do something. At the first meeting this col- umn in Huron County Week- lieswas referred to, and a simi- lar plan was launched. A. few of, the group chipped in to pay' for the first insertions, but Int- er fees' were accepted to defray expenses. This local temper- ance league is increasing in membership and is working be- yond its town limits. One of the group writes, "We have always been wet, a hangover from old timber days. We had at one time seven sawmills here. I personally know condi- tions in Blank (a small Huron County town); Hived there 14 years. Conditione are better there than here as regards drinking. We have a run of petty police court eases thee Blank ie free from, or meetly so." Surely such testimony should have weight with us. We are under the Canada Tem- perence Act whieh allows no legal outlets for the sale of beverage alcohol. The Courts have frequently complimented us onour comparative freedom from crittte, of which the chief • contributing factor is drink,--.

Oke inter- viewed the Council in regard to the Westlake drain.

To The Editor Grand Forks. N.D. May 17. 1954. The Editor, The Huron Expositor: This morning while reading the May 14 issue of The Expositor, I came across Mr. Scott's column in which his remarks state that the "new highway will go right through bhe middle of the town." My thoughts wandered back to Goderich Street West and its av- enue of beautiful maples. Surely few towns, if any, in Ontario can boast of such lovely trees, and memories of walks under their spreading branches are very vivid in my recollections. I would like to go on record with a pleaforthis attractive avenue to remain as it is. With apologies to George P. Morris, I quote some of his lines— with a little deviation: Road Builders, spare those trees! Touch not a single bough! In youth they sheltered me. My heartstrings round them cling close as their bark, There shall the wild birds sing. Through this little letter, may 1 send kindest greetings to you and all my Seaforth friends. Very sincerely, Margaret McQuaid Mulligan Whitechurch, Ont., May 5/54. The Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: The Wingham and District Council of Churches feel that the enclosed article will be read with interest by many people and we are therefore asking t.hat you consider printing it for your readers. Yours very truly, R. D. A. CURRTE, Secretary. The Christian Funeral (By the Wingham and District Council of Churohes) One of the most distressing times that any of us are likely to face comes with a death in the family. Even when expected, death is a paralyzing shock to those who are left. Emotionally, mentally and spiritually! we are upset. The nae tural reaction is to do everything we can in the final act of the fun eral to express our esteem and affection for the loved one. At such a time we need some guid- ance.. uidance.. Because of the Christian under- standing of death, the funeral is a service of worship. It is an act of praise and thanksgiving for our hope of eternal life by faith in our Risen. Lord. Also because of Christ: the Church, the household of faith, is involve!, and the service is a congregational matter, Preferably the service should be held in the church. Many of the deepest mom- ents of life from baptism to burial take place in God's House. When death occurs in a family, the first thing to do is to call your minister. Where possible, he will rbe ready to help you. He will ad- vise you as to all the suitable a,r rangements, the custosm of., the' Church, etc. No arrangements should be completed without the sanction of the minister. Flowers, however beautiful, last only a few ,hours and are not a liv- ing memorial. Individuals or groups may pay tribute to the de- ceased by giving some lasting memorial to the Church, or to some other good work in which the deceased was interested. The family may be informed of this by letter. Floral tributes in the ser- vice should be few, limited to those of the immediate relatives. At the funeral of His Majesty King George the Sixth, a single wreath on the casket, representing the Royal Family, was the only wreath lo be seen during the service. A family is not honoring their loved one, nor Jesus Christ by having an elabor- ate funeral. Sunday funerals air to be dies couraged. All civil and fgraternal honors and ceremonies should be complete apart from the Christian funeral, preferably the evening be- fore. The casket should be closed be- fore the, service commences. Alt wishing to review the remains re- ceive ample time beforehand. Per- sonal reference to the deceased, 14 at all, should be brief. If there is a sermon, It should give comfort, and hope, and strengthening of our faith. A Christian funeral conducted in the spirit of humility. sincere sym- pathy, triumphant faith, with rea- sonable acte of Christian love, and with proper participation by friends and neighbors, is part of the Chris- tian Witness to the community.
