Doesn't the`bright sun make you think of Spring,, Easter, — and HATS? This is the theme which the girls of Beta. Sigma Phi Sorority have chosen for their •• hat show to be held March' 14, at North Street United Church iwiall, ° • w They have that smart hatter, Mrs. Humphrey . of London, to- provide the delightful fluff and the girls will Provide the tea and • delicious desserts.

Next year it will be, planned earlier and will avoid other events at nearby towns -- it does take early — and lots of planning. All -in -alb I think a vote of thanks should go out to those -fellows who worked so hard (— a . lot •° harder than they had 'expected-- to bring the event to Goderich. P.S: I hear Sammy lost ten pounds! Not too many saw the torch -lite parade from the only it 4 4 b place — the grandstand — where it really showed up as a most beautiful sight you may ever see. We had a terrific sunset and by the time the torches started around the track; the color pf the ,torches against the brilliant colors of the late sutlyset -'- well,. it was a picture no artist could paint and ',I •doubt if anyone made a color -foto of it. Theoski-mobillers also deserve a Vote of thanks for the handling of their madhines in that there were no accidents for the two days. - For this we can all be thankful as there certainly could have been. many accidents since people will not be careful. They know that if a machine is corning someone. will .warn them • or rescue them — and they will do as •Choy darn' please about where they stand or sit -- no. matter WHAT rules . o"r precautions are setdown. That was, the' ox11y part -of the 'whole twd days that ware , the workers c, to a frazzle. Th,e parents seem' to have no control of their children and certainly no discipline. • Discipline seems to be a fancy, word that is not fashionable the last ten years .and it surely shows! I shouldn't say the last ten years, it is longer than that" since the° children escaped the strap or .a good clout and the grown-ups -are sorry they 'how have no control.- -. This weekend we have the Figure Skating Carnival and it is always a colorful and thrilling event. We are fortunate to have so many talented youngsters in this area and we should be very proud of them.
