To Raise Funds for New Kilt Uniforms Editor The Seaforth News, - Dear Sir;—May I take a little valuable space in an attempt to promote the aspirations of one of the oldest organizations in town the Seaforth Highlanders Band, This organization dates back to the days before the turn of the Century when Seaforth always had at, least two bands. We don't know exactly when the band start- ed but we do have a photograph of one taken in 1871. It progress sed through different military stages ;as the 33rd regimental, then the, 161st Battalion until in 1922 .the. Seaforth. Highlanders were formed and the wearing of the kilt became a •permanent part of our local heritage. The uniforms purchased in 1922 were from War Assets and haye been in continuous use ever since. However the ravages of time have taken their toll and one by ono the parts of the uniform have worn away. The tunics were re, placed in 1946 by the purchase of. discarded jackets from the army. Now ;time has caught in with the rest of the uniform so that many members are ashamed to wear them. It particularly hits new members and without them we can't progress. The executive of the band has therefore decided to start a com- plete overhaul of uniforms, music and concerts with the plan stretching over a 5 -year span. The main object of taking 6 years is an attempt to oreate a fund of $3000.00 with. which we can pur- chase at least 20 kilted uniforms. At present the band receives a grant of $700.00 from the town council -,$600.00 of it pays the conductor who puts in at least lour nights a week all year round teaching beginners or the regular band. The other $100.00 pays for instrument repairs—which are ex- pensive-- and any new music we might require. Don't think we are complaining about the grant! We certainly are not because it Is quite generous and we appreciate it. It can be seen however that there is nothing left for uniform repairs and that they must coma from the efforts of the members. We are therefore issuing an ap- peal to the public at large to sup. port us. We are going to hold a series of draws and variety con- certs with the hope that money made by them, combined with any ,donations we might receive, will be sufficient to buy new uniforms five years from now. In the meantime we hope to smarten up the appearance of the band by playing concerts dressed In ,dark trousers or skirts with white shirts, plaid tie and Glen. gary caps. We wish to assure you that we don't aim to leave the kilts for long because they are a Seaforth tradition and we are proud. to carry It on. Keeping a band together in this age of motor travel, summer cot- tages and organized sports, is a precarious business that requires taking advantage of every straw =you can have a good band all year round except in the summer time when you really need it. Looking around the district you •find very few bands left—like the proverbial Arab they have silent- ly folded their tent and stolen. away. Here in Seaforth we have never given up in spite of many handi- caps and we feel that you people appreciate it. During the past year we have had a surge of strength so please don't let us miss the tide. Be generous and give your town a boost. Thank you. — Sincerely, F. C. J. Sills, President Seaforth Highlanders Band, CURLING NOTES' The Seaforth ladies, brought home second prize from •a bon - spiel at Wingham.
