'Baker, former Seaforth Junior, who

THIRD STRAIGHT WIN
FOR SEAFORTH BALDWINS
The London Lou Ball sextet is still
winless in four games of their O.Ii.A,
junior "B" group schedule, but one
thing about it, •Iry Hodgson's kids
deserve an "E" for effort. -Tues-
day they absorbed their fourth
straight setback, this time at the
hands of the strong Seaforth Bald-
wins, by a 6-3 count, at the Queen's
.Park puck "palace," but they didn't
wind up on the etort end of the
score because they lacked the old col-
lege try.
Matter of fact, except for the
opening frame when Seaforth had
a big edge in the play and a 3-1 mar-
gin in the scoring, the Londoners
weren't too far off the pace. But
that initial frame made all the dif-
ference.
It was the third win in as many
games for the league -leading Bald-
wins.
For the first few minutes of the
opener, it looked as if London was
going on a scoring binge. Don'Quirie
sent the locals ahead 1-0 on a nice
solo effort at 2:25. But that was the
only time the Lou Ball squad held
the lead. The Baldwins came back to
walk up three goals before the end
of the session, and then managed to
add the odd goal in the five scored
in the second and third frames.
Baldwins deserved every bit of
their triumph, too 1 "Farmer" McFad-
den's youngsters had their passing
plays clicking remarkably well for
so early in the season, and this plus
their close, hard checking style, was
too much for the London team to
overcome.

HON. W. J. DUNLOP
OPENS HIGH SCHOOL
(Pile 'Hon. W, J, Dunlop, Ontario
Education Minister, in an address
officially opening a new edition to
the Seaforth and District High
School said Tuesday, the architect,
the contractors and the trustees
seemed to have thought of every-
thing when building the addition, and
when renovating the old addition
was carried out,
The Department of Education this

FARM POND HELPS
SAVE LAYING HOUSE
Buick response by Seaforth fire
,brigade saved a large two and a half
storey laying house at Scott Poultry
Farms early Friday morning,
Credit goes to Mr. Tien Chambers
for timely discovery of the fire,
The farm pond, constructed a few
years ago by .the owner, Mr, J. M.
Scott, amply proved its worth, pro-
viding an abundance of water for
the two fire trucks,
The fire was confined to the roof
of one pen on the third floor of the
ary Schools, $9,000,000 for unworn- laying house. A hole about 12 feet
ties and other millions for other pun- square was made in the roof, as fire -
poses, :There are now '978,000 pupils � men had to tear off ,sections of the

schools in Ontario, and in a few
years the enrollment is expected to
be more than 1,000,000, he said.
He said the Ontario Government is
willing to meet as much as possible
of the costs of •education,
"We are always glad to see .our
beautiful buildings," he said, "but
it is our teachers and our pupils that
make our schools. We are trying to
produce the best of citizens to carry
on the development of this country.
We want our youth to be equipped
for the various occupations they will
follow. We want to produce well-
equipped, religious and loyal citizens
who know what a real 'democracy is,
and who will be able to refute dan-
gers, evils and Communism,"
:Gordon McGavin, board chairman,
was the chairman, and said that when
Seaforth celebrates its 100th anni-
versary next year, former pupils can
come back and visit the old school as
they visit the new.
Tho Rev. H. Douglas Stewart, of
Toronto, a graduate of the sohool,
gave the prayer of invocation.
In bringing greetings of the Town
of Seaforth, MayorE. A. McMaster
said each new building makes a town
that much better. "There is too much
money spent on super grand build-
ings", he said. "As the teacher is, so
is the school. We need more well-
trained teachers, as good schooling is
cheap schooling."
Huron County 'Warden W. J. Dale
said: "We are just at the beginning
of an era of new schools and new
hospitals." The St. Lawrence .Seaway,
he said, will affect our whole way of
life in this county.
C. H. Gillen, the school's architect,
and David Smith, representing the
Ellis -:Don Construction Company, of
London, brought greetings. Principal
L. P. Plumsteel spoke briefly.
Musical numbers were given .by
Dora Ann Stinson, Doris Johnston.
June and Audrey Hackwell and Mary
Dennis.
Prior to the meeting the speakers
and guests to the number of 50 were
entertained by the District High
School Board at a sumptuous turkey
banquet in the parish hall of St.
Thomas' Church.
On Thursday last McKillop Muni-
cipal Telephone System completed
cutover of the telephone circuits
feeding through the old aerial cable
north of Seaforth to their new un-
derground cable plant. This will pro-
vide double the number of circuits
needed to split the present lines, to
have fewer subscribers per circuit
when needed, This underground ca -
s. plant cost approximately $8,500.
'The old cable is being removed as
soon as possible and pole lead will
be removed from the county road as
far as Grieve's bridge. The old cable
will be scrapped, and good poles will
be used to strengthen the main lead
to Walton.

McKILLOP
S. S. No. 2, McKillop Farm Forum
met at the home of NIP. and Mrs,
Stewart Doimage with an attendance
of 26 adults. Questions for discps-
sion: (1) How have your buying hab-
its for food changed in the last ten
years? Answer: By buying in small-
er quantities instead of in bulk,
fancy packaged articles in wax and
cellophane. Refrigeration being used
more for meats, vegetables and
fruits, more buying co-operatively
and credit system than 10 years ago.
,(2) How can the farmer adjust
himself to the new trends in consum-
er buying? Answer: By growing var-
ieties and grain prodrtets that meet
the consumers' demand, keep up to
date on insect, smut control. Process
some of his own products before they
leave the farm. Buy more eo-opera-
tively and in larger quantities and
reduce the credit buying. After the
discussion period games were played
with winners as follows: Ladies, Mrs.
Ephraim Clarke, Nies., Secord Me -
Brien and Mrs. S. McClure. Men:
