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. In the
hays' events, close to Ken, in the
junior events, was Don Dearing,
-while Bilis Brock was right on the
heels of intermediate ohamp, Leon
and George Sills second to Doug

High School
With the mercury slipping .past
the 70 mark, over 100' of the
school's potential athletes compet-
ed in keen (competition. From all
a.npesramcrs it looked to be the
Ladies' Day Many more girls par-
ticipated in their events than those
showine efforts for the boys. Ap-
parently it can't be expected that
s''n a of those. old-timers_around 16
and 17 to be as active as they were
in their younger days!
They're on the march! 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

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
Evidence is to hand that
these Huron County "Voices”
are read beyond our Coufity
boundaries. 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,--.

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.
