There was a majority for the bylaw in every ward, the North Ward giving a majority -of 30, East Ward 21 and South Ward 13. There were 440 ballots •counted and three spoiled ballots, making a vote of between 70 and 75per cent. which is considered fairly represent- ative. The vote was as follows: For Against Polls 1 and 2 , 107 77 Polls 3 and 4 ... 74 53 Polls 5 and 6 ... 71 58 252 188 With the assent of the ratepayers having been obtained, the next move will be taken by the Seaforth town council which will give third read- ing to the by-law.. A novel feature of the campaign was the use of floats accompanied by loud speaker which toured the town on Saturday in behalf of the com- munity centre, one part of the dis- play featuring boys playing ball and hockey, and idle boys. This was the first time in the province, probably, that a petition was circulated under a recent sta- tute concerning community .centres, and later a vote of the ratepayers taken on the question. A comparison of the results of the two methods of securing an ex- pression of public opinion is worthy of note. The petition had 305 names in favor of the centre, while the vote gave 252 in favor. On the other hand the petition of ratepayers asking that a vote be taken had about 90 names, while the vote against the bylaw was 188. ' In a general way it could be said the majority for the bylaw by secret ballot was about one-third of the petition. The election discloses another new angle of changing tunes. On Tuesday morning an 80 -year pensioner said to the News: "I was against it at the start. But then I got to. thinking some other feller will have to pay for it, not nye. I don't expect to live that long". However, he looks healthy and good for quite a few years. Who says the retired farmer is always against "progress" and only the young fellow is for sport. Altogether, the feeling seems to be, with the vote over, everybody will work to help the project. A. grave obligation will rest upon those who will be entrusted with erecting the community centre. Wise .planning and careful over- seeing can yield a memorial of which all will be proul for gener- etionS By their works they will be known.

Mr. Morton Elliott at Varna. Identification of the plane was made through the wheel, tire and part of an oil line which were torn off hi the accident and were found near the horse. The accident happened about sixty rods from the house. While no one saw the accident occur, the family saw the plane be- fore and afterwards. According to Mr. Elliott the pilot of the plane claims he was flying•low because of engine trouble. Those who saw it at the time said it appeared to be running smoothly and there were two planes, both flying very low and going from Goderich towards London. Mr. Elliott values the dead horse at $250, and expects there will be no difficulty in collecting damages. The pilot of the plane managed to laud safely on one wheel at Crumlin after being warned that a wheel was hissing. NEW CUCUMBER VARIETY PROVES GREAT YIELDER Many cucumber growers have been visiting the farm of Albert Rock of the highway just east of Dublin to see the new variety of cu- cumbers he is growing this year. The seed was supplied 'by the factory and Mr. Rock planted four rows of the new variety as an experiment and four rows of the regular kind. The new vines are only about half as long as the regular vines requir- ing only half the area. The yield is very heavy as these short vines are simply loaded with pickling cucum- bers of such uniform size that they nearly all grade No. 1. GIVE CONCERT IN AID OF POLIO FUND Local talent was brought to the fore on Thursday evening, Aug. 11 when the neighborhood children of Jarvis and Huron streets under the leadership of Mrs. Edwin Bennewies and Mrs. Charles Corlett staged a concert in benefit of the polio fund on the lawn of MVlrs. Hugh McKay and NIr. and Mrs. Jno. E. Daly. The adventure was a huge success, al- though earlier in the evening rain fell and thunderclouds darkened sunny faces as disappointed children watched anxiously for old King Sol. The program consisted of instru- mentals, tap dancing, amateur box- ing, square dancing', musicals, a -joke man and singing. Mr, and Mrs. Ed. Fisher and Mrs. J. Broome favored with some old time music. A very amusing skit was produced when Mrs. Corlett as a newly fledged dentist perfori'ned her first tooth pulling on a patient, Mr. Jake Broome. A . chap known only as "Art" who first happened through the neighborhood repairing chim- neys volunteered some well chosen harmonica selections. His partner, Mr. Roy Morrison, was an excellent master of ceremonies. These two very generous gentlemen also sup- plied ice cream for all the ohildren participating in the evening enter- tainment. Toward the close of the program Miss Charlene Corlett thanked all who had helped in any way to make the evening a success. Special thanks was extended to Mr. and Mrs, Daley for the use of their lawn, also to Mr, and Mrs. Jake Broome for the loan of their piano- and ianoand truck which was used for a plat- form. Special thanks "was given Mrs., Bennewies for .the use of her home for practise, and to Mr. Morrison and his partner, Art, for the ice cream. The concert closed with a sing -song of old favorites while everyone joined hi with God Save The King, after which the cast went to Mrs. Corlett's where a dainty lunch was .served.

DIAMOND WEDDING OF LONDON COUPLE King George and Queen Elizabeth were among -the many sending greet- ings to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coates, 568 Wellington Street, well known Londoners, yesterday, on the occa- sion of their diamond 'wedding anni- versary. A letter came, too, from Ontario Lieu'4enant Governor, Honorable Ray Lawson, but it was more than an officjal greeting. The lieutenant governor's letter was -a personal messhge to an old neighbor, for the Lawdons and the Coates had lived near 'one another on Stanley Street, in Lbndon south, for many years, and His Honor recalled several neig- hborhood events in his letter. When Robert Coates, then a young drygoods salesman with the whole- sale firm of R. C. Struthers, brought his bride (the former Catherine Ament, of Seaforth), to London following their marriage in Seaforth on August 14, 1889, the city had neither street cars nor buses. They remember walking uptown through deep snow one winter's night to hear Sir John A. McDonald and Sir. Charles Tupper address a political meeting. Mr. Coates began his business career in London with Mr, Struther's firm, but in 1906 he decided to link up with two other comanercial tra- velers and form a company of their own. And the firm of Coates, Burns and Wanless, wholesale shoe merch- ants, was to become well known, Mr, Coates pioneered Northern Ontario as his firth's representative, and he recalls being on the first train going into the Cobalt area. Retired since 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Coates are content now to watch the world, go by their spacious hone on Wellington street north, and to at- tend, when health permits, near -by Metropolitan United Church. Both in their 86th year, the couple didn't want too elaborate festivities on their diamond wedding anniver- sary. Members of their family, two sons and a daughter, all of London, A. E. (Dolph), Robt, A. and Miss Gertrude, arranged a family dinner party in the afternoon and later in the day friends and neighbors calledto extend personal greetings. Home for the event were three grand- children, Mrs. John Fisher, of West- on; Miss Petra Coates, Toronto; Dolph Coates, of London; also -daug- hter-in-law and nieces and nephews. The hone was filled with flowers and cards, evidence of the wide circle of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Coates, who have lived in the Forest City all of their married life, FEDERATION NEWS The National Film Board circuit sponsored by the Huron County Fed- eration of Agrioulture will be oper- ated as usual, starting the fall sea- son, •September 12th.
