Santa Claus comes to Sea -
forth on Saturday, Dec. 2, a
week later than had been plan-
ned originally.
The change in plans arose
not through any whimsy on the
part of the Merry Gentleman,
but because of confliction in
band engagements. The date
originally arranged—November
26—is the same day as the Lon-
don parade, and several bands
anxious to take part in both
parades were faced with a diffi-
cult decision.
His top herd of Guernsey
cattle continue to . win -many
awards for William J. Dale, RR
1, .Clinton. Mr. Dale is this
week exhibiting eight head of
his quality Guernsey cattle at
the Norfolk County Fair at
Simcoe.
On- Tuesday he won five
championship ribbons. His big
win of the day was the Senior
and Grand Championship cow,
won by "Woodrow's Regal
Rose", who topped the four-
year -olds in milk class. This
same cow -won first place at
the Western Fair in London
earlier this month, in the 4 -
year -old dry class. She fresh-
ened the next day with a hei-
fer calf, and has since been
undefeated in the milking class.
So far this season she has been
Grand Champion three times.
One of Mr. Dale's herd also
won first in the 4 -year-old dry
class with "McDonald Farms
Rivals Vint.4", who topped 11
entries. Other winnings includ-
ed the Reserve Junior cham-
pion bull calf and Reserve Sen-
ior and Reserve Grand Cham-
pion 2 -year-old bull.
Approximately 100 head of
cattle are entered in the West-
ern Ontario Guernsey Cham-
pionship show, which is held
each year in conjunction with
the Simcoe Fair.

6:30 p.m., in the Seaforth Pub -
lice School auditorium, with
lunch and soft drink§ being
served at that time. Besides
the annual awards for the most
valuable player on each team,
an additional award will be

improved player. The award is
donated by Gus Boussey, and
will be .up for annual competi-
tion. - --
A program, including a guest
speaker and a film, will be pre-
sented, following plans laid at
a recent meeting.
- In -reviewing the year's ac-
tivities covering the three
groups, it was felt that the as-
sociation has had a successful
year, despite the lateness and
continued postponements due
to an excessive wet summer.

The band contest is assured
of a large entry, according to
chairman L. F. Ford and Geo.
Hildebrand. Each band taking
part will receive $25, and in
addition compete for $100 in
prizes and the Topnotch trophy.
Reporting for the.:dfloat com-
mittee, Lee Learn said a can-
vass of Main Street revealed
promises of 21 floats. This year
greater emphasis was being
placed on the Fairyland theme,
he said.
A complete n,ew approach to

died by a committee, including
R. J. Boussey and J. A. Stew-

Street lighting provides new
opportunities for particularly
effective decorative lighting,
the committee was told..
Meantime, the finance com-
mittee, under chairman J. A.
Stewart, is making arrange-
ments to raise nedessary funds

industry.

paid, leaving approximately
$180 on hand.
The meeting, chaired by
President John E. Patterson,
expressed its appreciation to
all who assisted in any way dur-
ing the summer months with
the ball clubs, and particularly
thanked the Seaforth PUC, Sea -
forth Council and - those who
purchased booster tickets. The
drive netted $133, the highest
support given the association
in a number of years. The as-
sociation is happy to know that
more and more interest is be-
ing ,shown by sport fans to-
wards assisting with minor
sports during t h e summer
months, the pfesident stated.
In discussing the arrange-
ments for Minor Baseball Night,
the meeting expressed a desire
to have as many parents pres-
ent as possible for this occa-
sion. With this in mind, the
executive is requesting each
player to bring along at least
one parent with him. Players
are also requested to bring
their uniforms with them to
the school. The executive must
have these turned in so they
can be readied for next season.
SDHS Board
their licenses suspended for
varying periods.
The convictions raise the to-
tal of offenses for which pen-
alties have been assessed since
June to more than 50, Chief
Elmer Hutchison said.
Speeding and unnecessary
noise by visiting youths on Sea -
forth streets have triggered
several discussions during re-
cent council meetings, as coun-
cillors heard complaints. De-
spite a series of convictions
during the summer, the trouble
persisted. Police believe now,
however, that increased fines
and the loss of licenses have
had an effect and that drivers
are beginning to realize that
they cannot get away with wild
driving on Seaforth streets.
"We don't want to bother the
ordinary driver," Chief Hutchin-
son said, "but we must control
the driver who pays no atten-
tion to traffic rules. nor to the
rights of the ordinary citizen."
Delays Action
Action concerning remodel-
ling of the home economics
room at SDHS will be held in
abeyance until the effect of
the new Huron Composite
school on, the course is determ-
ined, the board decided at a
meeting Tuesday.
Technical courses, including
home economics, will be in-
cluded in the curriculum of the
composite school being built at
Clinton and SDHS. The board
was of the opinion that until
the effect of the enlarged facili-
ties in Clinton on the demand
for the course here had been
determined, there was little
point in going ahead with alter-
ations.
Decision to modernize the
facilities was taken last spring,
but was held up in June when
tenders received exceeded esti-
mates.
The board approved the pur-
chase of three additional cafe-
teria tables and 30 chairs. An-
nouncement was made that a
meeting of the Principals of
Huron secondary schools would
be held here Thursday after-
noon.
"You've been a pretty sick
man," said the doctor. "In fact
I may say that it was only your
strong constitution that pulled
you through."
"Well," returned the con-
valescent, somewhat testily, "I
trust you will remember that
when you come to make out
your bill."

In Field Crop .
Competition
Crops of corn are the best in
years, Ray Arbogast, Sebring-
ville, field crop judge, said last
weekend as he judged 25 fields
of corn in the field crop coin•
petition sponsored by -the Sea -
forth Agricultural Society.
Results of the competitions
were very close, with John
Broadfoot beating out a class
of 13, to take top spot. He also
placed first in his entry at the
lair earlier this month. Only
six points separated Mr. Broad -
foot's winning entry from the
13th place entry.
Ensilage corn classes were
equally close with Bruce Cole-
man taking top spot with 901
points in the field, and 95
points at the fair. In this class
61/2 points separated first place
from llth place.
Complete results of the three
competitions appear below.
Winners are decided on 75%
of the field score and 25% of
the fair score.

SDHS Students Seek
Subscription Award
Students at SDHS have be-
gun their annual subscription
campaign. The students this year
are competing for three mod-
ern transistor radios, which are
offered by The Huron Exposi-
tor to the individuals obtaining

addition, each subscription ob-
tained earns a commission for

of athletic, musical and other
equipment which is not provid-
ed from public funds.
In co-operating with the
SDHS student who calls to of-
