Along the promenade is Jeannette Edmunds, Geraldine, better known as Glen Smith the winner of the best comical costume, Jim and Jean Keys, 'of R.R.#1, Seaforth, winners of the best dressed Centennial couple and Viola and Lorne Lawson. Mr. Lawson won the best male costume in his uncle's 90 year old wedding suit which he said was warm but fit him perfectly. (Staff. Photo) Variety Night was Centennial highlight Local amateur talent proved during • Centennial weekend that homemade entertainment is still often the best entertainment. A musical variety night organized by Frank Sills and Seaforth's Centennial committee kept a large crowd entertained at S.D.H.S. in a Friday night kick-off to Centennial. Frank Sill's rendition of "Alice Blue Gown", which he sung in a falsetto voice while wearing a blue evening dress kept the audience in stitches. The Town & Country Four, Marlen Vincent,Bill Campbell, Ken Campbell and . George Ribey sang a number of • smooth barbershop guar tette songs. Small fry were also well represented. Krista and Melissa Stewart did clog and step dancing. Pipers Jeff and Greg McPherson entertained with their Scottish music. Eight girls who are directed by Mrs. Lila Storey, the Centennial Steppers, did a step dance routine. Angelee Andreassi, Joanne Carter, Notary Lynn Glew, Tracy McPherson and Charlie Malcolm did Highland Dancing. Sisters Debbie and Dena Wey of R.R.4, Walton did a guitar and voice duet. The musical talent night was especially enjoyed by Seaforth's senior citizens who were provided with transportation to the concert. DOV 'T FORGET THAT WE.

Here are just a few small things you can do, that can add up to a considerable energy saving. Turn off hot water taps so they don't drip, fill clothes washers to match the size of the load, wait until you have a full load before using a dishwasher and remember showers usually require less hot water than baths. Try not to use more hot water than you need. The Cascade electric water heater will give you a dependable supply of hot water, but it's up to you to use it wisely. your hydro CS5 4 946 4th Annual Summer Shoe Sale Starts Friday, July 11th Save up to 50% on regy,lar price JIM CRQ,c FAMILY FOOTWEAR 53 Main St. Seaforth ' Hunglt..E.x.P.aSITOf4:.4014 0-19* Something to Say 4PV by Susan White Whpri.is 0 holiday no to h6lidai(?. right close to home, we left a couple of staff members, names out of our Huron Expositor ad.

Rhea had been helping out part timein the layout department here. Then we failed to recognized our long time n eighbour and friend Orville Oke and couldn't identify him in the photo of the costumed Home and School beauties on page 15 of the second section. Take a look at the photo and you'll understand our confusion. Orville is the bathing beauty on the far left at back. Even his own mother couldn't recognize him , we wager 2 But anyway Orville, we're sorry. We still aren't sure how the next mistake happened. Turn to the back page of the second Centennial section and you'll notice that the photo of smiling little school children doesn't match the cut line under the picture. Two of our- favourite cousins, Johnny Grant and Kimmy McLean are in that one, so there's really no excuse for that boo boo. We'll reprint that photo with its cutline and the cutline that appears with its proper photo• sometime soon. In fact we have quite a few more old school photos here that we didn't have room for in the Centennial issue and they'll appear, in other issues this year. They're too good not to use. We've been told that the man in the ph-oto of Dr. Scott in his horse and buggy is a Mr. Schade, father of the late Mrs. Gib . Reeves. If anyone else has any more enlightenment about mistakes, omissions or identifications, please let us know and we'll pass the information alon to our readers. Thanks.

It was a good idea we thought and we still do, although we aren't much more rested than when we-made a hurried escape on Wednesday night. In theory, it was a holiday, but actually we probably could have '4 got more of a rest at the office on what was the first quiet Thursday and Friday since Centennial issue planning started five or so months ago. You see, we have this problem. To this writer a real holiday is reading an engrossing (overdue from the library) book on a beach with an occasional trip for a cool drink or a swim. But whenever a couple of days away from the fp office and the house become available we forget what really makes a holiday and we make plans. • It soon develops that we try to pack , so many activities into a couple of days off that a day back at work begins to look slack. Last week, dear reader, we did it again. N Thursday was to be a quiet recovery day at the parents-in- law's cottage. In exchange for this labour free day, we agreed to help husband at the house renovations in McKillop on Friday. Fair's fair, right? But then sister Margaret, at home for the week, suggested a trip to London. Yes, it would be good to get to the city we agreed, and that • was booked for Thursday evening We mentioned the proposed trip to a friend who lives in that city and ended up with a dinner date with' her. That cut time at the cottage to about six hours. Then we decided we really would like to stop en route from the cottage to London to see .a friend in Bayfield. We ended up abandoning the glories of the • beach and the. book for the hot highway about 2:30 in the after- noon. • Late Thursday night we arrived home, not exactly refreshed, but still in one piece. Friday, after a few housekeeping and grocery shopping chores that had been neglected for weeks, we actually did do some work at the house. Friends phoned and we, were *invited out for a barbecue at the spur of the moment. We had • a lovely evening, but six for supper is not a holiday, is it? Saturday the garden that doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves demanded some care. Saturday night we really blew the rest and recouperation by having a great time and staying up half • the night at the wedding of an old friend. The bride and groom didn't leave the festivities until after midnight, so who were we: to decide to go home early? Sunday morning, ,/ (Sunday already, oh nol) we didn't feel too peppy. The propane camping stove (yes we're back at the house in the country) had run out of fuel and we couldn't cook any break- * fast. Instead of eating we helped the better half wrestle a huge hot water tank into its final resting place in a very small basement. • We collect scratches and bruises now, as well as antiques. We spent more time picking things that needed to be harvest- ed in the garden on Sunday afternoon. Then we took off for the cottage, more to get some- * thing to eat than to get back to the beach and book. Probably everybody has the, same problem of needing a rest and then packing holidays with too much to do. It's a common human affliction. They say a change is as good as a rest and we sure had a change. Now we're back in the office, • getting our rest. Sort of. We're sitting but it's at a desk with a typewriter that has been getting pretty rusty without anyone pounding at it for four days. We've learned our lesson and for a whole week in September we're going to do nothing, nothing, but sit on that beach and read. Probably it'll rain. • We want to let all those who so generously loaned photos to the Expositor know that they can pick their photos up at our office.

There's a blood done; clinic on here at Northside United from 6 until 9. The Red Cross finds that the need for blood transfusions usually goes up in the summer months. But at the same time donors are often somewhat scarce because people are , away on vacation. A donation of blood can help save a life. It doesn't hurt and takes only a few minutes. Don't forget, Monday, July 14, at Northside United, from 6 to 9 p.m. * * * * * * Phones are a great convenience, but they can be an awful headache too. The staff at the' Seaforth Post Office has been finding lately that their phone is more of a problem than a convenience. There is a phone in the Post Office, but it is only for handling enquiries about postal rates, and times of despatch and receiving mail. The Post Office has had too many people phoning lately who want to know if there is any mail. in their box or if Family Allowance or Old Age Pension cheques are in yet. Postmaster Orville Oke says that is a real problem for the Post Office staff sometimes when there are only two people on duty, waiting on customers at the front and one of them has to run to the back corner of the building to answer the ph one. We're passing on a request from the Post Office that people call only on business, not to find out whether there's a letter from granny or a cheque from big brother in their mail box. Give our friends at the P.O. a rest. * * * * * * • All in all our 'Centennial' iSsue ,wenl °net/Usti- iweeP4 withoUt trio many bonbons:- There- *were"'a couple of dillies though , and apologies are in order.
