SIAFORTII, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1952 PRiZE SHORTHORN BULL I MoKILLOP SCHOOL FAIR I ARRIVES FROM IRELAND IS BIG SUCCESS Mr. J. M. Scott of Scott Poultry Farms has received a prize Short- horn bull, "Millham Dollar", which he imported from Ireland. The bull is a good specimen of the Double Dairy Shorthorn type and was pur- chased by Mr, Scott to improve his herd and also for the benefit of the cattle industry in this country, "Miliham Dollar" was bred by Herbert S. Robinson, an outstanding b r e e d e r, of Newtoncunninghami County Donegal, Ireland, and was first prize premium bull in his class at the Royal Dublin Show in March; 1952. Purchased in March by Mr'. Scott, it has taken since that time. for the animal to reach Seaforth be- cause of the many restrictions, From Ireland, which has never had foot and mouth disease, he was shipped to New York, where after a requir- ed period of quarantine, he was al- lowed to complete the journey.

In the absence of the pre- sident, Mrs. Teall, Mrs. D. East man presided. If this meeting was the forerun- ner of the 1952-53 season, good things are girt store for the months to come. Credit goes to Mrs. W. A. 'Jones and her committee for its arrangement. Speaking on "Stick Up for Your School", Professor J. Scott gave us much food for thought. "The place for criticism of the school is here at these meetings, and not out on the street". Touching -on new ideas• in education in the past quarter cen- tury Professer Scott said "Just be- cause it is old does not mean it is not good: because it is new it is not necessarily good, Cut out the dead wood and, graft the new on the firm foundation of the old". Referring to the fine new school under construc- tion, "Do not forget this old build- ing, it has . served its purpose well, sending forth many who have gain- ed a firm foundation here and gone on to renown in their respective en- deavours." These are just a few of the things this "old" graduate of the S.P:S. gave us about whrith to think. Misses Betty Campbell and Barb- ara Trewartha, pupils of Mr. Pulsi- fer', delighted the guests with 3 fine guitar duets. Mrs. Mason's class again had the greatest number of parents present and holds the picture for the next month. MRS.

Their unmatched shoes and stockings completed their array. Boys wore their aprons so as not to dirty their clothes with their lolli- pops. Both boys and girls wore sun bonnets so as not to catch colds.. Wednesday night a weiner roast and dance was held in their honour. We certainly hope they enjoyed their lunch. It looked good. For same who were standing too near when the banquet was on, it may have tasted good also. When it was all over we realized what wonderful sports they were. It wasn't too bad, was it Grade 9? Baseball seems to be the sport of the day. I guess it must be the new equipment. We have seen evidence of future Joe Dimaggios. Question of the week: "Who wants to buy a load of hay?"
