convene Here

How."
Cheillengmg'' the large group to
individually 'know thyself,' 'control
thyself' and 'give yourselves,' Mr.

than just living as long 'as you
can. Continuing, he said: "Man
today works less hours, makes
more money, has more leisure
time, retires from active work
earlier, and lives longer than his
predecessor, but like his predeces-
sor, he hasn't piece of mind, con-
tentment of soul, self-discipline and
mobility of service."

the Woman's Association of the:
church, films were slat ?en and Ag-

Northside Marks
78th Anniversary
Northside United Church cele-
brated its 78th anniversary on Sun-
day with Rev. Dr. Gallagher, of
Toronto, as guest minister. With
fine reference to Christian symbols
at the morning service. Dr. Gallag-
her brought to his hearers a strong
message on Christian faith and ser-
vice. His evening subject, "Beyond
Our Shores," took his listeners to
the various continents of the world.
'Vith stirring word pictures, he
brought vividly to mind what the
Church is attempting.
"The Christian Church is the on-
ly strong spiritual force that stands
over against the would-be dicta-
tors," said the preacher. With wit
and humour, he described many of
his overseas experiences In his
recent tour of Korea and 'Japan,
he found many remarkable and
dramatic examples of the Chris-
tian faith in action. "Those who do
not know the Christian faith, or are
skeptical about it, will constantly
find portrayed before them exam-
ples of Christ -like living and cour-
ageous Christian faith. Only by
the suffering faith of the followers
of Jesus will our world be won to
brotherhood and true peace.
Dr. Gallagher is the secretary
for Overseas Missions of the Unit-
ed Church. Fine congregations
were led in music by the junior
and senior choirs of the church,
under the direction of Miss Mabel
Turnbull and Mr. and Mrs. James
A. Stewart. The congregation voic-
ed their gratitude through their
minister, Rev. John Stinson, to Dr.
Gallagher for his inspiring mes-
sages, and to the choirs for the
memorable music.
"Until insurance negotiations
tiave been completed, it isn't pos-
sible to know just what will be
done," Mr. Daly said. Meantime,
the work of salvaging stock and
tools is under way. Damage to
the building and contents is esti-
mated at $30,000 by -Fire Chief'
John F. Scott.
The blaze spread from a flash
fire which enveloped a tractor un-
dergoing maintenance in the repair
department at the rear of the
block. Owned by Harvey McLlwain,
the tractor was being serviced by
his son, Jack McLlwain, When the
fire flared up about 5:30, neither

Wallaceburg Group
Inspects Pool Here
A delegation from the Parks
Commission of Wallaceburg was
in Seaforth Sunday inspecting the
Lions Park and new pool. Consid-
eration is tieing given to construct-
ing a similar pool in Wallaceburg.
Introducing the delegation was
John McKenzie, former Seaforth
resident. Mr. McKenzie, who now
resides in Wallaceburg, operated a
blacksmith shop on Goderich St.,
where the Anson Gilbert garage is
located, for a number of years.
Cavan Congregation, Winthrop,
Plans 75th Anniversary Event
Cavan Church, Winthrop, will ob-
serve the 80th anniversary of its
founding with special services on
Sunday. Rev. J. R. Holden is the
minister.
In 1874 the Rev. Thomas Thom-
son was, ordained and inducted as
the minister of Duff's Church, of
the Presbyterian Church of Can -
sada, in the Township of McKillop,
Huron County. That same year a
number of families residing north
of 'Duffs Church, in the vicinity
if the villrge of Winthrop, request-
ed that Sunday services might be
held in or close to Winthrop. The
majority of these people attended'
Duff's Church and had/to drive a
considerable distance. Mr. Thom-
son agreed to the request; the
elders of Duff's Church' were. also
favorable, and for a while services
were held in the home of Mr. An-
drew Govenlock. About,,the same
time a Sunday School was organ-
ized with Mr. Govenlock as the
first superintendent.
In 1875 services were held in the
new schoolhouse at Winthrop, and
in duly, 1875, a petition for organ-
ization-at,,a eengtagatio, Wait for-
warded to -the Presbytery through
the Session of Duff's Church. This
petition was signed by 23 members
A
and 21 adherents of Duff's Church,
residing in the Winthrop district.
It came before the Presbytery of
Huron, meeting at Goderich on
August 10, and by action of the
Presbytery the congregation was
constituted with 24 members and
Rev. Thomas Thomson as minister.
Shortly after three elders were
elected — James Hillen, Donald
Campbell and Robert Calder.
The' congregation was active and
energetic, for that same year the
first church building was construct-
ed. It was a commodious frame
structure and it stood on the site
of the present church until 1907.
Hiram Blanchard was the builder,
and the lumber came from the
mill of Andrew Govenlock. The
building was opened and dedicated
on December 29. Principal Cavan,
of Knorr College, conducted the
services, and henceforth the
urch was known as Cavan
Church. A fine brick church re-
placed the original franie church
in 1907.
The 80th anniversary of the con-
gregation is to be celebrated on
Sunday with fitting services, at
11 °Week in the morning and 7:30
in the.evening. Rev. D. A, Mac-
Millan, of London, is to be the
t't• ,
t.t
,,tttt tt'
guest pteacher in the morning. As
a former minister of Northside
United Church. Seaforth, Mr. Mac-
Millan is well known in this dis-
trict. Rev. C. D. Daniel, of Hen -
salt a past president of the Lon-
don Conference, will be the guest
preacher at the evening service.
The choir, under the direction of
Mrs. Oliver Anderson, has been
preparing appropriate music, and
Mr. Donald MacDonald, of Walton,
is to be the guest soloist at both
services.
An anniversary committee, with
Mr. W. E. Hawley, of Winthrop. as
secretary, has forwarded invita-
tions to attend to former members
of the congregation at widely scat-
tered points. An anniversary tur-
key supper is to be held under the
auspices of ,the Women's Associa-
tion on the Wednesday evening
following.
The longest pastifrate was that
of Rev. Peter Musgrave, formerly
of Milverton, who was called in
1876 after Rev. Thomson had been
called to Brucefield. He served
the two congregations of Duff's
and Cavan until his death In 1903.
Rev. D. Carswell, now retired and
living in Toronto, was the minister
when the- present church was built.
Jack Smith, who also were at
work in the shop, were near it. •
Within a few moments heavy
black smoke poured from the rear
and front of the block. Firemen
fought the blaze more than an
hour before it was brought under
control. The. fire proper was con-
fined to the rear of the block, but
damage by smoke 'and water was
heavy throughout the building. So
dense was the smoke pouring frohi
the building at the height of the
fire, it was difficult to see across
Main Street.
Seaforth firemen, in their fight
against the fire, used both trucks
and pumpers. One fireman, Allan
Reid, was cutin when falling glass
pierced his rubber boot.
Business records were removed
from the office on the ground' floor
by Mr. Daly and Wilson Hawkins,
who fought their way through
dense smoke to the street.
In addition to the McLlwain trac-
tor, a car and two other tractors
were destroyed. Large stocks of
parts and accessories were also
damaged or destroyed by fire and
water.
A new apartment on the second
floor, which has just been com-
pleted, but not occupied, was badly
damaged by smoke. Adjoining
businesses. Seaforth Beauty Salon
and Willis' Shoe Store, also suffer-
ed smoke damage.
One of the older businesses on
Main Street. the Daly block, with
its high tower, has been a familiar
sight for 75 years.
On Way To School,
Young Girl Hurt
In collision with a car driven by
J. G. Nigh early Tuesday morning.
Cheryl Mt. 8, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Adam Ast suffered slight con-
cussion and bruises. Mr. Ast on
Wednesday said his daughter was
felt to be out of danger.
The accident occurred near the
Haney store in Egmondville as the
little girl was crossing the road to
board the school bus that takes
pupils from Egmondville to
Sproat's School each day. O.P.P.
Constable H. Snell investigated.
Coroner's Jury
Attaches No Blame
In Auto Deaths
A coroner's jury at a joint in-
quest Tuesday in Clinton into the
death of Willard Lee, 68. of Clin-
ton, and John Harnwell, 87, of
Goderich, found both men died ac-
cidentally from injuries received in
a motor crash on 'Highway 8, about
a mile west' if Dublin. Sept. 19.
A car, driven by Lee, in which
Harr.well was a passenger, struck
a culvert being built by Gaffney
Construction Company, of Strat-
ford. and the jury found adequate
precaution had been taken to warn
traffic of the construction job.
Lee died in Clinton Public Hospi-
tal Sept. 20, and Harnwell at Scott
Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, Oct.
8, both of injuries suffered in the
crash.
The jury's verdict, presented by
W. N. Counter, of Clinton, foreman,
was reached after an hour's delib-
eration. Members included, as well
as Mr. Counter, G. Ross MeEwan,
John A. Anstett, Elliott Bartliff and
Merritt Nediger.
Coroner G. F. Thompson, Clin-
ton, presided while Huron County
Crown Attorney Glenn Hays con-
ducted the hearing.

Uenistan, of Stratford General Hos-
pital. who conducted the post mor-
tem; Dr. J. A. Addison, Clinton;
Dr. John A. Gorwill, Seaforth; Wil-
fred Maloney, Seaforth, and his son,

i)Jie 26th annual Hallowe'en frolic,
spisored by the Seaforth Lions
Cl which is being held at the
Ar a on Friday evening, shows
ev ey indication of being the big -
get and the best in a long series
of Hallowe'en frolics, according to
members of the club, who are in
charge.
Frolic Friday
In view of the extensive arrange-
ments which are being completed
and the program which will be
available to the public, the event
will seem more Lite a three-ring
circus than a frolic. In fact, that's
just about what it will be. The
carnival and games will take place
on the west end of the arena floor,
"TRICK OR TREAT" DEMAND ALTERED;
S.P.S. PUPILS TO ASK FOR PENNIES
Seaforth Public School pupils ar
introducing a novel feature into th
usual Hallowe'en demand of "trea
or trick."
This year, instead of asking fo
candy as they make their rounds
to neighboring homes, they will ask
fora penny each. The pennies tha
are collected will be given to the
Lions Pool campaign.
Discussing the venture, S.P.S
Principal John Talbot, said the plan
permits the children themselves to
play a part in and make a contri
button to the Lions pool project
They expect to use the pool and in
this way they can assist by giving
up the candy and cookies they
might expect to get at Hallowe'en
It brings home to the children the
work necessary in order that they
may enjoy the pool, he said.
He might have added that the
plan would probably serve to elim-
inate numerous tummy aches that
inevitably follow the Hallowe'en
gorging,
The public is asked to co-operate
by making pennies, rather than
treats, available when Hallowe'en
visitors call on their rounds. Par-
ent, all
i, too, are asked to see that
pennies collected are taken by the
children to their teacher as soon
as possible.

Registration Slow
• I Registration for Seaforth Night
Classes will take place at S.D.H.S
Thursday evening, Nov. 3.
-• I According to Principal L. P.
Plumsteel, preliminary registration
has been disappointing. Since a
minimum of ten registrations is
necessary in order to hold a 'par-
ticular class, it is necessary that
there be a large attendance next
week or a number of proposed
classes will require to be aban-
doned.
It is known that there is a broad
interest in each of the classes, and
it is hoped that enough registra-
tions will be forthcoming to per-
mit each to be held, Mr. Plum -

Hensall Resident
Has Sweep Ticket
A habit of thirty-five years fin-
ally paid off for Bob Baker, Hen -
sail, 68, father of thirteen children.
and grandfather of twenty, who
had his ticket drawn in the Irish
Sweepstakes.
When informed he had drawn
Bright Circlet, he was engaged in
a game of cards and continuing to s
play. asked: "Who do you think
you are fooling?" He has been
buying sweepstake tickets for 35
' years, and this is the first time
he has been lucky.
He farmed out West for many
y go ng was tough oate.
and rugged, then took up farming
in Stanley Township. He moved to '
McLean , Brite,

)4'1
gram, featuring Bill James, in an
amazing exhibition of comedY
magic, and Steve Melding and
fq.
Judy in juggling that defies the
law of gravity, together with oth-
er added attractions, will be pre-
sented on a stage erected at the
west end of the arena. Master of
ceremonies will be Eric Munroe.
Highlight of the evening will be
the drawing of a ticket at the dose
of proceedings which will deter-
mine the winner of the special ,
Oldsmobile four -door hardtop. To
the seller of the winning ticket will
go a thousand dollars.
Interest in the draw is increas=
ing daily, and for some time now
a large drum has been in the win-
dow of Kling's store, containing
thousands of ticket stubs. More
are being added each day as mem-
bers complete their returns of
tickets that have been sold.
Objections that the public might
have to attending the frolic be-
cause of cold weather, are elim-
inated this year, since it is plan-
ned to provide heat in the arena
proper in the event that the tem-
perature is too low for comfort.
Committee members point out that
this means that those who are look-
ing forward to an evening of fun
and frolic need have no fears con-
cerning the fact that they might
catch a cold from the cold weather.
They can attend the Hallowe'en
frolic secure in the knowledge that
they won't catch cold, but that
they will have the time of their
lives. At the same time, they can
know that they are assisting the
Lions Club in carrying out its
many projects, the chief of which
is the completion of the new Lions
swimming pool at Lions Park.
In charge of the events are the
following committees:
Fowl booth and groceries, Ross
