Herd Wins at Simcoe:Foir Santa Haus Parades dere December 2nd 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.

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. Although the financial state- ment has not been completed for the year, it showed over $282 was in the bank at the time of the meeting, and out- standing accounts, amounting to $100, were sanctioned to be When nine-year-old Gerald answered the phone at 11 p.m. a voice said: "We are making a survey of delinquent youth. If you have any children do you know where they are this moment?" "Yes," replied Gerald, "we have, and I know, but can you tell me where my jarent9 are?", continue .Crack Down On Problem Drivers Here Ara youths are finding. that Carel ss driving and speeding is a ostly business in Seaforth. Fined and costs as high as $73.40 in one case, were levied in po- lice court here Wednesday by Magistrate H. Glenn Hays, as police continued their crack- down on driving offences. In all, 12 convictions were registered and covered a series of offences ranging from going through a stop sign to impair- ed driving. Four drivers had At a meeting Tuesday even- ing, the Christmas activities committee reviewed plans which have been underway for several weeks. 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 the problem of providing effec- tive decorations is being stu- died by a committee, including R. J. Boussey and J. A. Stew- art. Installation of new Main 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 from Seaforth merchants and industry. The meeting a discussed the selection ofj,'?? Christmas Queen and a contest to determine the most effective home decora- tions. Special committees are being established to deal with these features. 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." CONSTRUCTION of a new 16 x 50 -foot extension Well advanced.
