Purchased secondhand in 1922, the Scotch uniforms can take no more parades, it is revealed in a statement' issued over the signa- ture of -band president F. C. J. Sills; which tells of 'plans the long- time Seaforth organization has to provide new kilts and tunics. Much askthey dislike it, the Band will be ferced to parade In pants until such time as funds are avail- able with which to purchase new uniforms. One of the oldest or- ganizations in town, the Band seeks public support for its fund- raising progr a m. The statement bK,. Mr. Sills: This organization dates back to the days before the turn of the century when Seaforth always had at least two bands. We don't know 'exactly when the band started, but we do have a phottgraoh et (Mr taken in 1871. It progressed through different military stages, as the 33rd Regimental, --then rte., 161st Battalion, until in 199" 4" Seaforth Highlander6 ed and the wearinr' .if kiit came -a permare::.t part of our lo- cal heritage. The uniforms, purchased in 1922, were from War Assets and -have. been in continuous use ever since. However, the ravages of time have taken their toll, and one -by one the parts of the uniform have worn away. The tunics were replaced in 1946 by the purchase of dis- carded Jackets from the Army; Now, time has caught up -with the rest of the uniform, so that many, members are ashamed to wear them. It particularly hits new members, and without them we can't progress. ,The executive of the Band has, therefore, decided to start a com- piete overhaul of uniforms, music and concerts, with a plan stretch- ing over a five-year span. The main object of taking five years is an attempt to create a fund of 000.00, with which we can pur- chase at least 20 kilted uniforms. At present, the Band recerves-a grant of $700.00 -from the town rouncil--$600.00-of it pays the con- ductor,. who puts in at least four nights a week all year round, teaching beginners or the regular band. The other -$100.00 pays for instrument repairs -which are ex-' pensive -and any new music we might require. Dpn't think we bre complaining about the grant! We certainly are Resident Alone AS Fire Destroys Varna Residence Fire destroyed a two - storey frame home at Varna on Thursday. The home was owned by Mrs. Al- fred Ings, a sister of Albert -Horn- er. Seaforth. Saved from destruc- tion was a refrigerator, TY sdt and some clothing. The fire, which started in the - chimney, was beyond control when Bayfield and Brucefield fire bri- gades reached the scene. Mrs. Ings Was alone hi the house at the time. She had been ill with the flu and was cared for by neighbors. Shower Honors Barbara 'Hillis Miss Barbara Ann Hillis, bride of this week, was honored by friends Friday evening. A miscellaneous shower was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Christie, Sper- ling Street. The event was arranged by Mrs. Eric McCue, Mrs. Douglas Whyte, Mrs. Gar Baker and,111i$S Marion Chamberlain.

We ' are, therefore, issuing an appeal to the public at large di support us. We are --going to hold a series of draws and variety con- certs, with the hope that money made by them, -combined with any donations we might receive, will be sufficient to buy new -uniforms five years from now. In the meantime, we hope to smarten up -the appearance a the' Band by playing concerts dressed in dark trousers or skirts, with white shirts, plaid tie and Glen- garry caps. We wish to assure you that we don't airn to leave the kilti-for lung,' because they are a Seaforth tradition, and we are Feud IQ carry it on, Keeping a band togetheIr in this age of motor travel, .summer cot- tages and organized sports, is a precarious business that requires 'taking advantage of every straw - you can have a good Band all year round, except in summertime when you really need it. Looking around the district you find very few bands left -like the proverbial Arab, they have silently folded their tent and stolen away. Here M Seaforth we have never given up in spite of many handi- caps,- and we feel that you people appreciate it. During the past year we have had a surge of strength, so please don't let us miss the tide. ()Weil Wedding Reccilis191-0Stiow About the only thing that hasn't changed in.50 years is the' weather, according ti Mr. and Mrs. David G. Papple, as they looked back on a half. century of married life. • Mr. and Mrs. Papple were mar- ried at the Egmondville manse by the late Rev. NeilSha, on March 9, 1910, and following -the cere- mony drove . to their farm home, lot 31, concession 4, LRS, on- the Road. Here they continued to reside until their retirement to it was nweatheri e in1946Was a lot like this year. There was all kinds of snow -more than we have now," Mrs. Papple recalled, and added that of course there were no plowed roads, nor snowplows. The trip,Lrom Eg- mondville along the snow -filled Mill Road was by horse and cutter, and there were lots of pitch -holes. "It was dull in the morning and 'foggy, but as we drove home the sun came old and it was nice and bright," Mr. Papple said. Mr. Papple is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Papple and was born on the Kippen Road. His wife, the former Isabella Mohk, was born in Hullett, the -daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Monk. When she was a baby her father died, and the family moved to the Mill Road.' Thinking back over 50 years, the Papples recalled the changes in living that have occurred. "When we were married everything was done by manpower and horse% poWer. There weren't any cars or tractors or telephones or hydro. But we had more sociability Than there is now. People weren't rush- ing all the time, and they liked gather together in the evenings, s mething people today won't think of doing." While the wedding day was on March 9, the anniversary celebra- tion was held over the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Papple were guests of honor at a dinner arranged by members of, their family in the new, Legion Hall, Seaforth, on Sat- urday evening -the first event to be held in the new hall. They pre- sented them with a swivel -rocker and easy' chair. The grandchildren presented gold flower -filled vases and d purse of money. The dinner was served by members of the Legion Ladies' Auxiliary. Later in the evening about 100 neighbors and friend- joined the family, making a presentation of a blanket, mantel clock and a cup and saucer full of money': An ad- dress was read by Wilson McCart- ney while the presentations were made by Arthur NicholsOn and George McCartney. During the Zvening cards were played, after which a lunch was served. Mr. and` Mrs. Papple havii a faMII1Vfterr M Ming -West, London; Gordan, R.R, 5, Seafort * !Or Wallace (Mary) Pringle:, . , .
