Teach 530 Swimmers In Lions Park Program Instruction was given 530 stu- the greatest improvement dur- ing the season. Need of a greater apprecia- tion of the value which family records and history can have was indicated by Brock E. Dav- is, of Drayton, who spoke brief- ly. Mr. Davis, who had return- ed recently from a tour of Eur- ope, spoke of the tense inter- national situation. 'A deterrent to war, he suggested, was the fact the East and West each has the means of annihilating the other. At the same time, there must be concern from the possibility of an isolated conventignal war getting out of hand. Over-riding all was the threat of Red China in the back- ground. dent swimmers at the Lions Pool during the past summer, members of the Lions Club were told at their meeting Mon- day evening. Of this number, 358 were beginners. Pool supervisor Hugh Huff, and park supervisor Roy Mc- Gonigle were guests of the club at the dinner meeting, and in introducing them, park committee chairman A. Y. Mc- Lean expressed appreciation on behalf of the club for the con- tribution they had made to a successful season's operation. Emphasizing the degree to which the swimming program was serving the district, Mr. McLean said 127 students, or 76.5 per cent of those eligible for Red Cross swimming awards had been successful in the Red Cross examinations. This in- cluded 63 -beginners, 40 juniors, 16 intermediates and 8 seniors. While inclement weather had reduced attendance, particular- ly among transient swimmers, the number admitted to the pool was down less than 1,000 from 1960. Admissions, includ- ing season ticket holders, total- led 23,390. Hugh Huff told members of the organization of a swim team this year, and presented tro- phies which he had provided to Joan TeaIl and Bill Rowat as most valuable swim team mem- heirs. He also presented a tro- phy to Monica McCurdy, as the swimmer who had showed The speaker, who is editor of the Drayton Advocate and a well-known Rotarian, was in- troduced by the chairman, Lloyd Rowat. Appreciation was expressed by W. E. Southgate. Reports on the pet show and turkey booth at the fair were presented by Lloyd Rowat, Bill Moore and Lee Learn. Plans for a turkey bingo on Oct. 4, and for a peanut drive in late October, were announced. Nate: "Aren't you coming in swimming?" Kate: "I can't. A moth has been eating my bathing suit." Nate: "The little rascal! He must have been on a diet."

The weather. however, proved to be too good and attendance dropped about 500 people from last year. !The high prize money --$8,800 --i-offered by the Seaforth Agri- e(,iltural Society, was a factor in the large entry, officials said. Over 4,000 persons were treated to a variety of enter- tainment, as well as tremen- dous cattle, sheep and swine showings, including three top- notch cattle breed shows, un - .surpassed in, the tri -county area of Huron, Bruce and Perth. The fair was opened by G. W. Montgomery, former Huron agricultural representative. Tabulation of results is con- tinuing and final figures will be released following a meeting of the directors later in October.
