SERE AND THERE First catalogue this year of Christmas card samples arrived on Monday—just to sort of remind 'Us. , A century of publishing and- 60 years of service as a daily news- paper will be observed by the Can- adian Observer of Sarnia on -Nov- ember 16 when a special issue to mark the occasion will be issued in this booming Canadian city. A new, bright red car sat in a local garage. "Who's it for?" asked a curious spectator. Plan- ning on a little fun, ' a garage at- tendant replied, without cracking a smile, "the town purchased the car for the Fire Chief to ride in." This remark had the same effect as that of waving a red. 'fiat in front of a, bull is supposed to have. The spectator exploded with' shouts, "taxes are too x&398%zl high now," or words to that effect. Departing so fast he almost left a trail of smoke behind him, the man, who was obviously a tax- payer, headed for the Town Hall to unload his remarks. When he came out of the Town Hall, the wrathful look had changed to an amused smile. He had learned the bright new .red car had been purchased by "Skip" MacDonald to use in electrical service work. A surprisingly large number of Goderich and district .people took in the Western Fair at London last week. Despite a fall off in attendance in general' this year, blamed on the weather, the West- ern Fair in recent years seems to be on a forward march. There are always people well behind the scenes who have much to do with the success of a show. Such a person is Purdom Love, publicity director of the Western Fair. The general public doesn't hear much about a publicity director. He publicizes everything and every- body else but himself. A news- paperman of' long experience and one who has also operated a farm for many years, Purdom Love pos- sesses .the agriculture -publicity combination, knowledge to make him admirably suited for his job. The results of his widespread pub- licity program for the Western Fair are bearing -fruit. The Wingham Advance -Times tells of "a problem which is plagu- ing almost every school board in the Province." With an enrolment at an all-time high of 420 at Wing - ham Public School, the board faces the problem of "obtaining further accommodation for further in- creases which are due to come in the next five years." The school -- ,is now .operating ._to capacity de spite a new $100,000 addition comepleted one year ago. We might say that Goderich won't have to wait for increases "in the next five years." Those increases are right 'here now and, according to Prin- cipal H. M. Shackleton "at -the pre- sent rate of going the Goderjch Public School will need one . new classroom for next fall and a second new one for the following year,'•' Apparently there is some- what of a problem in adding any new classrooirts to the- recent ad- dition. Whether this Is because the present heating system would not adequately carry heat to such additions we do not know. But if this is out, the alternative of using the old Collegiate for Public School classrooms may have to be considered. It seems rather cer- tain that the Public School Board faces an accommodation problem for next fall, if, indeed, 'it is not even now having its difficulties in this respect. In the fall of 1950 a new addition to the Goderich Public School was opened which cost nearly a third of a million dollars. That fall tthere were 619 pupils enrolled. This month found 740 pupils enrolled --121 more than when the addition was opened only three years ago. So, figure it out for yourself! OVERHEARD ON THE SQUARE -"Do you really think it's going to be a long, hard winter?" Preparing • Arena For Winter Season Under close observation since the summer figure skating school closed at the- end of August, the floor at the Memorial Arena, which bad started to heave in spots, has settled back to normal, according to reports. In preparation for the winter season of activities, the arena is now undergoing a , complete face-" Ir Lifting, with the interior of the building getting a new paint•' job. MORE VISITORS' . Groups and individuals from tear and far are coming to Gode- rich still to visit the popular Huron County Museum. On Tuesday, 25 women and 'children from the Ladies' Guild of St. Jetties Luther- an Church, R.R. 2, Ayton, made a tour of the institution. Group Adopts Club .Program A leadership training program! instituted by the Goderich Junior Chamber of Commerce was adopt- ed by a regional meeting of Jaycees at Owen Sound on Sunday and now wilt be sent to the national group for consideration. The re- gion includes 43 clubs in Ontario. Details of the program "were out- lined by the leadership Mining chairman for the region, Jim Brophey, of the Goderich club, who also gave a summary of the, course being sponsored by the Goderich club which begins Oct ,- ber 8. Briefs were presented by Bill Anaerson, Max Cutt and Andy Boutilier, all leaders of phases of the coarse. • • • Cec • Hoffman, Goderich presi- r dent, spoke on assimilation and orientation of new members: Also present, with the Goderich group was Frank Reid. The local group had the second largest representa- tion at the conference, exceeded only by the host club. Guest speaker at the seasion was Garfield Case, of Beaver Valley, who spoke on Canada and its rela- tionship to the British Common- wealth. Jaycee groups represented at the conference were from Goderich, Owen Sound, Galt, Kitchener, Stratford, Southampton,' Preston and Guelph. The Goderich Lions Club plans to have the town "go nuts" between 5 and 7 p.m. Friday—but for a good cause—raising necessary funds to carry on the welfare work of the club. To assist them in this the float in the picture above will visit Goderich, Members of the Lions Club will make a house to house visit Friday evening selling tins of peanuts. Here's your chance to help a good cause. Lion Howard Blue heads the committee in charge of the "Peanut Blitz" and members of the committee are Lions Nelson Hill, Jim Kinkead, Leo Walzak, Harry Bosnell, Garby Darland and Bill Lumby. Talk On Alliance By Rev, C. W. Cope Importance of the work of the Lords Day Aliance was emphasized by Rev. C. W. Cope, Of Brai?tford,. Western Ontario secretary of the group, in an address at the Sunday evening ,service in Knox Presby- terian Church. Mr. Cope, a former pastor of North Street United Church in Goderich, gave a detailed report o •i ' the work of the Alliance. In 1952, he' said, of the 11 corn munihies which voted on Sunday commercial sports, eight ' voted against the proposal. The Alliance, he said, had conducted strong cam- paigns against the Sunday com- mercial sports.

Po Problem OfAccommodatjofl At Public School Reviewed Predicting a continually increas- ing enrolment at the Goderich -Public School for the next few years, Principal H. M.. Shackleton briefly reviewed the accommoda- tion problem at the school Tues- day night during the "Get Ac- quainted Night" program of,, the Goderich Home and School. When the public school closed last June there was an enrolmenit of 719 +pupils, said Principal Shackleton, in comparison to an enrolment of 744 when the school opened this September. Two rooms were used only occasionally in the new addition when it was first opened. ,Now -every room is' being used• and, said Principal Shackleton, "there will not be enough accommodation in the building by next year to carry - on as is• now." Stating ther five cl e are ass rooms with two different grades in them, he added that several teachers on the staff had been teaching two grades for several years now. He said that this is "a lot of work." Because there were 43 grade pupils in Miss Fawcett Sturdy's class it was felt necessary to do some're-shuffling to make fggr more even distribution of pupils in class- rooms. -"Miss • George offered to take a straight grade class in ad- dition to her special class which dropped to 19 pupils," said Prin- cipal Shackletoriwaa "So we have given to Miss George a number of top grade four pupils. • The pre- sent set-up in Miss George's room Is these better grade Our pupils along with her special class and I feel sure it is going to ,work out well, too." . Introduces Teachers Principal Shackleton introduced each of the teachers to the gath- ering, giving a brief history of each of them. Chairman of the meeting was the president of'the Goderich Home and School, Mrs. Harold Doak. hMinutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. Frank Bowra. Mra. Carlton Worsell, treasurer, reported a 'balance on hand of $68.50. Two motions were passed, one _to again give pins to members of the graduating class and the other to serve luncheons at Home and School meetings only • on special occasions and not every 'time. Two solos were sung by Miss Ruth Dockstader accompanied on the piano by Miss Eleanor Lauder. "Educating for Leisure" was the subject of the ,address of the guest speaker, Rev. D. W. Williams, • B.A, + minister of Victoria Street United Church. Rev. Mr. Williams stated he had found in his visits to homes 1 over the years that so many people, ! once they are retired, don't know what to do with their spare time with the result that many of them are unhappy. Such „people are 1 faced with three alternatives: 1.1 To stagnate; 2. To be led around , by their noses; 3. To use their 1 creative ability to enjoy leisure time. Look To The Future Stating that because of labor saving machines continually being j introduced the •trifle of a man's employment in the future would likely be considerably reduc&d, the guest speaker pointed out the im- portance of a person looking to the + time they woulo be retired and of I the necessity of having some cre- ative hobby to occupy their minds during this time. Remember the old watering cart that went around town spraying the streets to keep down the dust? Well, you'd hardly recognize it now. But if you were to look be side the Huron County. Museum on North street you'd see it parked there, all bright and shiny with new coat of red • and green paint. The old cart, a relic of the Vic- torian era, will bring back mem- ories 40 many people . of Goderich and many who have moved away but lived here when youngsters. George Beacom, a town em ployee, remembers when he started to work on the cart in (1905. That was when he took over the job steadily. Prior to that he had worked on it -from time to time; since his father, John Beacom, had driven the cart for 13 years before George started. } built In ' Goderich He recalls that the cart was built by D. K. Straughan, who ran a shop on Victoria street, but he can't fix a date . on when it was made. George, perched .on the seat of the wagon with his team of white horses drawing the load, remem- bers that the cart was popular, especially - with the youngsters on a hot day. "l'd no sooner get a load of water in the cart than you'd see the kids start chasing behind it around the Square getting soaked in the spray," George says. Every summer day, except when it rained, George would load the cart 20 times in the 'morning and 20 times in the afternoon. Just Lp water down the Square would rake close to a dozen loads. "And you couldn't load or un- load the cart any faster no matter how hard you tried," George says. "You could only get the water out of the hydrant at a certain speed and it would only pour out of the tank at a certain speed." 10 -Hour Job It was no easy job refilling the tank about twice every hour -and it required 10 hours each day to get all the streets done. "But I didn't mind it too much," George recalls. "In fact when I finished work I'd usually go out and play ateouple of games of la-' crosse, And on rainy days, I spent most of the tittle wishing for sunny weather-" Around and around the•Square a George would go, and 'up and down the side streets. Since the spray from the back ,of the cart was only 30 feet wide, he'd have to go down one side of the street and back •up the other. • And whenever the fire whistle would blow you'd see George on the cart with his team of horses running as fast as they could to get to the blaze. For .there's hard- ly been a fire in the last half • century that George hasn't helped extinguish. Outside Museum Now the old, wooden cart with its big wooden tank sits outside the Museum=too big to be placed anywhere inside the building. Ever since it was put into retire- ment in the early 1930's with the advent of pavement, the old water wagon has sat in the yard behind the Town Hall gathering dust. Oc- casionalIy it was used to water a few outlying streets. But now it's back in its. glory again looking majestic in its new paint job. Even though its activ- tity has ended, it will prove to be a decided attraction for tourists visiting the museum and for some will perhaps bring back recollec- tions of the days when they chased along behind it to catch some of the cool spray on a hot day. Workmen Replace Workmen started on Tuesday to rip up the 'sidewalk from beside the Town Hall on East street to Victoria street and along Victoria street in front of Knox Presbyter- ian Church to prepare the section for a new sidewalk. The sidewalk had been in poor Shape and replacement of it had been considered for some time. LENA'S BOY WINS When Lena's Boy won the 2.16 pace at Queep's Park, London, on Monday it chalked up its 15th win since it has been owned by Reg. McGee and Sons during the past two months. In the same time it has also won two 2nds and one 4th. It has lowered its record }n this time from 2.10 2/5 to 2.07. Plac- ing fourth in the same race was Miss Catlie Grattan, owned by George Feagan. "The greatest curse to children in our day is toys," said Rev.' Mr. Williams. "If we would nut down on the manufaeture of them by 1 about two-thirds we would have better,happier children," he stat- ed, ading that a child who made a rag doll for herself got greater , pleasure from it than if she was (Continued on page•6) Canada's first national tractor plowing champion will be chosen from cone petinf provincial Champions at the Ontario Plowmen's Association flyer - national Match at Cobourg, Ont., October 6 to Above, Emmanuel Hahn, the internationally -famous Canadian sculptor, who has designed many of Canada's stamps and coins, is putting the finishing touches to the clay model of the winner's trophy, the Esso Silver Plow, In additlgn to the trophy, the Canadian, champion and the runner-up will travel each year as guests of Imperial Oil to the world plowipg match where they will compete on behalf of Canada.

I Varcoe Cemetery __Dedication _Heidi Dedication ceremonies were held yesterday afternoon at Varcoe j 1 Cemetery in Colborne Township, t which has been the object of a beautification campaign this surra mer, Numerous trees were planted and a cairn was erected bearing , a commemorative plate. Last year the cemetery, in which many °pioneers of the township are buried, was cleaned up to prepare ; it for the trees and cairn,. The cemetery was part of the old V ir- coe farm, now owned by James I McPhee, R.R. 5, Goderich. The undertaking was made possible through the co-operation of th- Colborne Township Council. i Kinettes Give Pin To Past President Goderieh Kinette Club held their first regular meeting in the British Exchange Hotel on Monday even- ing with the new executive taking over, their duties. ,,The newpresi- dent this year is Mrs. Max Cutt. The past president, 'Mara, Harold Hibben, was presented with her past president pin and a gift from the club for her leadership in the past year. Rev. and. Mrs. Jas. J. Morrish of St. Jahns, Michigan, and their daughter, Mrs. Howard Craig, of Flint, Michigan, visited last week with the former's sister, Mrs. John Tabb, Britannia road and other relatives here. 0 Crowd; arse Classes Acclaimed as the best in a num- ber of years, the annual Dungan- non Fall Fair held Tuesday by the Dut'i°gannon Agricultural Society drew a crowd of over 1,500 and at- tracted the largest number of en- tries in the various horse classes in some time. The weatherman co-operated, providing a crisp, clear day for the ,,event, and the crowd stayed all afternoon to see the various races and judging of animals and the kiddies got their fill of 'hot dogs, ice cream, popcorn and pop. One of the main highlights of the animal judging was in the Dun- gannon 4-H Baby Beef Calf and Swine Clubs, in which 100 per cent of the members participated. The boys and girls in the two clubs put on an excellent display. Opens Fair Official opening of the fair was tarried out by Steve Stothers, of Lucknow, former Agricultural Re- presentative for Huron County, who was introduced by the presi- dent of the Agricultural Society, Howard Sproule. "Dungannon and Ashfield," Mr. Stothers said, "to me are my na- tive land." He said that he could recall the Dungannon Fall Fair back to the "horse and buggy days." 4 • He congratulated the members of the society for their efforts in helping to make the -fair a -success. "There bas been a movement," he said, "to do away with some of the smaller 'fairs. I believe Dungannon came close to closing at one time. But I want to con- gratulate all those who through their perseverance kept this fair alive." He urged his listeners also to support the Agricultural Society. "It has a place in the community," Mr. Stothers said. "It can't keep that place unless you support it and enlist the aid of younger men to carry it on." Congratulations to the society were also expressed by Elston Cardiff, Member of Parliament for Huron. During the , afternoon, various events. were held and in the even- ing a dance in Agricultural Hall completed the program, ' A successful. home baking sale was held by members of the St. Paul's Anglican Church Ladies' Guild. al hehorseraces crud the running ;Start Planning For Hockey Club It's hockey time again and i won't belong before the Goderic Memorial Arena is humming wit 'activity once -more. Right now the big question pro moters of hockey in Goderich are t1 hI faced with is: "Are We Going to! Have a Hockey Club?" Last Monday night a group' of businessmen and interested citizens gathered at the Arena to start the ball rolling for the -formation of a hockey club. The _meeting, how- ever, turned out only a small group and the main thing decided was to a • race classes and hurdles provided the entertainment on the track.

Last winter, Goderich was for- tunate in .having a good intermedi ate club and right now the pos- sibility exists that a good inter- mediate outfit might be formed again this year. That, of course, is something that will have to be decided, and soon, by those inter- eMin having good hockey here this winter, Reason ted for starting hockey meet- ings so early in the season is that officials figure, the time is ripe -to grab hockey players now before they start signing up with other clubs. So anyone interested in hockey will be giving a big boost to the cause if he gets out and attends the meeting next Monday night. Millionairess With A 'Kind Code Of Ethics Visits Here An elderly millionairess who visited Goderich for several days including the past week -end has an unwritten law in her code of ethics which she has carried out religiously for several decades. Every time she makes any fairly large purchase for her own use she immediately donates something of equal value to some needy Cause or some organization striving to help needy people. In her 67 foot cabin cruiser, "Florence 0," which sheltered in Goderich harbor on the week -end and early this week enroute to Florida from St. Joseph Island, (west ' of Manitoulin), Mrs. F. W. Orrell, of Flint, Michigan, now in her eighties, retired to her cabin hunk about 9 p.m., Saturday after fipending the evening looking over Goderieh„harbor and indulging in her favorite hobby, reading books. The Captain of her cruiser, P. W. Kent, aged 65, of Richards l,antltng, St. Joseph Island, who has held this post for a' quarter of a century, listed only a few of the many donations she has given. These ,include building a school and also two libraries on the Cap- tain's home territory, St. Joseph island; also numerous donations to the Salvation Army. She has even turned her old family home at Flint into -4 home for elderly ladies I while she uses a small .apartment + when at home in Flint. Her only rules for the old ladies' home is that they must be respectable, in need of a home and over 65 years of age. Her husband died in 1927 as a result of a car accident in Florida. ile .and four other men started the original Buick motor plant at Flint Today, Mrs. Orrell is a large stock- holder of the General Motors Cor- poration. Her trip to Florida this year will be fifth in the "Florence 0” but . she has spent more winters than -that in Florida, and also in California and other parts of south- ern United States. She has had some seven different cabin cruisers in bygone years. On St. Joseph island she has a 130 acres farm as a hobby with a full five acres de- voted to nothing but flowers. Captain Kent and his crew of four brought Mrs. Orrell into Gode rich harbor only once before. about 18 years ago, Trying to help needy causes with financial donatios has its difficul- ties, Mrs. Orrell has found. Once donations are given word soon gets around and the donor is flooded with requests from various sources which continually come in. To distinguish between the genuine calls for assistance and the camou- flaged rectuests is not an easy task. Alvin Sherwood, of - Dungannon; took two seconds and two thirds i this class, In the Aberdeen -Angus class, George Kennedy, of Luck - now had • all .firsts and seconds, while J. D. Durnin, of Lucknow, had one third. Mr. Gaunt also won the award for best herd of i three' females, best bull under one • year, and the T. Eaton prize. School Display Public School children exhibits, � on display . in Agricultural Hall, were a big attraction. Prizes went to: Projects--S.S. No. 9, Ashfield S.S. No. 16, Crewe; S.S.
