The Huron Expositor, 1975-01-16, Page 3We're going to call the column "Soniettg to Say" and it will ...ear as oftpips.,we have something to say a a time to befite it. So, here goes. It was great to see Seaforth's C tennial Year starting with a bang on N Year's Eve. Centennial organizers did good job with their presentation of Seafo h's plans for thb big Centennial weeken on • e CKNX Guy Lombardcr,Show. Recreation Director Clive Buist and our new mayor' Betty Cardno did a' creditable job • as spokesmen for the town. The Seaforth Merchants' an4 Centennial Committee's sponsorship of the Guy Lombardo New Year's Show gave a big boost to 'the Town's Centennial plans. Since the show appeared we've also had proof of the newspaper adage that advertising whether on TV or in. your local , weekly, pays. The day before New Years there were about 200 tickets left for the Centennial kick-off Guy Lombardo Dance at the arena , here. onMay 15. After Seaforth's night ,on TV, sales took off. Jim Crocker, whoin charge of ticket sales said there were 1 , tickets left last Monday, January 6.By ' Tuesday afternoon, all the tickets were sold out. Jim reports that he's hid more than 100 • phone calls asking for tickets since, then, but he's had to tell everyone, Including-one town councillor who Jeft/things a little too late', that there just weren't any more tickets:. That makes 1000 tickets sold_in Seaforth and area since September for a May 15 dance. Not bad eh? It certainly augers well for , successful centennial celebrations. If .you don't have tickets for Guy Lombardo, don't dispair. The Centennial Committee is going to sell tickets for the areria',s bleacher seats for the , big night starting later on this month, But for heavens sake, as soon as they are advertised for sale, buy them, or you might just end up listening to the sweetest music this side of Heaven from the arena parking lot!

It's a pretty he re Ponsibility being the foutth editor in 104 years. My three predecessors logged an average of.34 and two thirds years each in the job. That's a pretty heavy commitment, in sheer time at least and we don't intend to think about following in their footsteps to that extent. Working at this job until two thirds,: the way through the year 2009 is a bit too much to contemplate right now. However. we do hope to continue some • of the Expositor traditions, like good coverage and analysis of what is going on in Seaforth and area, thought provoking editorials and good service to our readers and customers. If you have A beef or a -suggestion, call us or write a letter to the editor. This is YOUR paper, all you 10,000 or so people who read us every week.... This column is a new Expositor feature. We've found it difficult over the past year and a half to classify everything we want to write about as either straight news story or editorial material. This column is intended to fill a gap that we have felt and allow the editor to write in a sometimes personal vein. Although we thought there had been a pretty long delay in a decision from the province on the local day care centre (see last-week's editorial), a talk this week with Tov.;n Clerk Ernie Williams reminded us that the day care delay is tiny, compared with the several years it took to get the first senior citizens' apartment building underway. We called Mr. Williams to see h ow the survey into the need for more senior citizens' apartments here was coming along. Council asked OHC to make the su rvey in the fall following many requests from local people. "There is no survey y'et,", Mr. Williams said, "They haven't star ted". The clerk said he got two letters from OHC both saying exactly the same thing and signed by the same person back-in the fall acknowledging council's reque,st fox. a-.• survey. Since that burst of •energy, nothing. How long did the survey for the last apartment building take? We asked Mr. Williams. About two years, he said, from the time it was ihitiated and _completed. Then when tenders were finally isitted, „ problems arose in finding a suitable site in ' town for the apartments and all in all several years elapsed until the apartments were 'finally built. ," So, we cautiously suggest that when the survey for the second set of Apartments does get underway, Seaforth citizens of say age 50 and up consider applying for apartments, on the hope that by the time the apartments are a reality, they will be old enough to qualify. ; • fruron -Pres ytersaltneets Mrs. J.
