Plumbers Strike Delays Changes At County Home Discuss New • Grouping for Jui Seaforth Hockey Prospects The effects of a strike of union plumbers is being felt at Huron County Home, it was •revealed Wednesday. Mrs. Martha Jacob., matron, stated that the strike has affected the work of the renova- tion of the old building, and that the situation is serious. Although the new addition to the Home has been completed 'with central plumbing, work on the old building commenced only Tues- day. Everything was held up Wednes- day as none of the half-dozen Lon- don plumbers returned to work. In all, some 14 patients, eight of whom are bed patients, are ,incon- venienced, and the hold-up has not only upset the home's routine, mak- ing more demands on the staff, par- ticularly the nurses. To use the words of the matron, "It has con- fused our old people. They are up- set by the whole matter, as they cannot understand the predica- ment." Mrs. Jacob said that the new ad- dition is now housing the patients from the old building, while the bed patients from the hospital ward are now in the old building. She expressed concern over whe- ther the interruption might inter- fere with the official opening of the new addition slated for Fri- day, October H. St. 'Thomas' WA Makes Plans for 65th Anniversary Highway Link West of Seaforth Open to Traffic Traffic began to move over the new No. 8 Highway cutoff west of town on Wednesday. The new road, construction of which got underway some months ago, begins on the west at the farm of J. F. Scott, and runs north of the existing highway, then joins the existing highway opposite the residence of Roy Lawson, at the westerly town limits. While the new road eliminates existing curves at Harpurhey, it does not cut across country in a straight line, but curves to the north. • The road passes through the farms of Peter Simpson and Joseph Grummett, nibbles at the northerly limits of several proper- ties until it reaches the Beattie residence. Here it was necessary to move the residence a distance north to avoid the road. "Will you love me When I'm old?" "Love you? I shall idolize you; I shall worship the ground under your feet.

Edward G. Barry, vice-president of Lions alnternational, who came from Little Rock, Arkansas, to join Seaforth Lions at their birth- day party, reminded the gathering that a birthday celebration is in fact an opportunity to pause. to - assess past efforts, and to plan for the future. It is an occasion that inspires hope for continued ser- vice, he told the Lions, as he re- called the record the Seaforth Club has established in its 31.4yeear history. Increasing interest in Lionism, he said, was indicated in the steady growth in membership. un- til today the Lions organization was the largest service•club in the world. It indicated, too. the fact that Lionism is premised on char- acter, is built on service. It holds the freedom of man as being para- mount, and with this is knowledge that the only effective means of controlling man is from within, through religion. Only by this means can freedom be assured. Lionism Is a force for peace. The situation in the world, the speaker pointed out, is such that it becomes the responsibility' of every Lion to approach his. mem- bership with seriousness. Too fre- quently Lions regard their mem- bership as a stepping stone to of- fice, or to recognition, rather Stewart Home Sold; Plan Nursing Home Announcement was matte this week of ,the purchase of the resi- dence of the late Charles Stewart 'at the corner of Church and Cen- tre Streets, by Mrs. Joseph Row- land, Reg.N., and Mtss Pearl Thamer, Reg.N.

The meeting was told ice was expected in perhaps 10 days. New grouping arrangements for the Juniors were mooted., and the meeting was agreed changes were desirable in view of the distances involved in last year's group.

In the other, the teams would include London, .Woodstoek, Brantford and Chatham. While top interest centred on the Junior 'B' picture, the meeting did not lose sight of the necessity of actively continuing its Bantam and Midget program.

In. - stead, the proposal was referred to the. associatipn executive for fu ther investigation and action, if desirable. A special committee, including Leo Stephenson and Wm.
