Another Boshart game the past

The Seaforth Fawns played three
-games during the past week and
wife victorious in all three. They
defeated Blyth . 22-2; Goderich
girls at Lions Park by a score of
'35-22, and a return game in Gode-
rich, winning this one by doubling
the score, 32-16.. This was the lo-
cals last scheduled game, but it is
understood that they have one
•postponed game yet to play with
Hensel]. Last Tuesday the Fawns
were in Exeter playing an exhibi-

informed the play-offs may start
early next week. •
The Seaforth Legion has been
doing fairly well in the past few
games, but need a couple of wins

IN THE REALM OF SPORT
The holidays are over and, so
back to work. There wereseveral
items of interest while away and
snore cropping up. Whisperings
feels that in Sport News abrief
mention be made of somf as at
the present there are more import-
ant matters on our mind.
We have been told since 'bur • re-
turn, that the Bosharts are out on
top and we extend to them our con-
gratulations and also td the Sea -
forth Fawns who have done so
well this year.
The present play-off details show
that the Seaforth Bosharts and.
Centralia Flyers will meet in the
first best -out -of -five series of the
semi -:finals, TONIGHT, Friday, Aug.
12, at the Seaforth Lions Park un-
der the lights. These two teams
have played great ball all season
and warrants a great series com-
ing up. It• is hoped that all loyal
fans in Seaforth and district will
be on hand. to boost the morale of
the locals towards victory. Come
down early and see some real good
games.
Listowel and Sebringville, tied
for fourth place, played a sudden -
death game Tuesday night, and.
the winners will go on to
meet Wingham in the other part
of the semi-finals. We hope to
have more news about the girls'
piaydowns next week.
The Huron Football Association

Seaforth ratepayers have a dutY
to perform on Monday, Aug. 15.
First, they must . . . each and ev-
eryone . . . go .out and vote, It
is their right.
Why the vote? Briefly it is
simply this. At a special council
meeting in regard to the passing
of a by-law towards the issuing of
a $40,000 debenture to ,be used in
the building of a Community Cen-
tre,
e•ntre, it was felt by a majority in
council that a vote of the people
would be the proper procedure—
therefore the vote.
Reason for this vote also goes
back to the fact that a project , . .
a Community Centre and Memor-
ial Hall . , .. be built in Seaforth
for local and district welfare. Such
a project needs money, and there-
fore is of ,vital interest to the rate-
payers. Such a project is also of
interest to a large majority that
might derive benefits, from the
same but have no vote. .So, it is
up to the ratepayer to study all
angles and to consider the prob-

lem in every respect ... not mere-
ly from his own benefit or disad-
vantage . . - but from the benefit
or disadvantage to each individual
in the community. You have read
the facts already published and it
is up to you now.
At this time Whisperings would
like to bring forth a few comments
that he feels might be of further
help in the ratepayers' discussion
of the pros and cons of this pro-
ject.
In the course of reading from
time to time ideas have come forth
about community centres. Many
cities, and even smaller centres,
are in the midst of trying to gain
industries which are being decen-
tralized. These centres at the
same time are looking around for
facilities to furnish the factory
workers and their families with
wholesome recreation whereby
they can meet and. associate in a
friendly atmosphere, thus creating
a friendly town where they feel
they are welcomed and where they
would like to make their home.
Today, businessmen who realize
this necessity, who see that of
machines, material, and men—.men
are the most important, and the
neighborhood or town where they
live should be a happy one. UnitY
in work, as well as in play, can
not be defeated.
The Centre, wherever it l5 estab-
lished, is the hub of the wheel so
to speak, and through this the peo-
ple of the community are bound
together, not in several class dis-
tinctions, but in one friendly corn

The Cast •
This debenture will cpet propel.:-:

Or in other words,, approximately
$?.r per $1;000.00 assessment. But
lest year we finished paying off a
'David' debenture of $32,500 at 5%
per cent. The new debenture would
be, 31/2 per cent: So the difference
of debenture debt of $7,500 this
year and last would be a matter
too small to even consider. • Fur-
thermore, profits from the opera-
tion
peration of such a .centre must be ap-
plied to reduce the debt (that's
law), and I do not know of any
today that do not make a profit.
If that were not true there would
be none operated by individuals
and companies.
What truly public -minded citizen
would even hesitate to make such
a small contribution to the good
and betterment, not only of their
community, but to the generation
who will be the citizens of tomor-
row and assume the responsibili-
ties we have today.
It is up to each and every one
of us to improve, that heritage
which has been passed along to
us, just as each succeeding gen-
eration has contributed so much to
what we enjoy today.
What would Seaforth be today if
23 years ago a group of public-
spirited citizens, called the Lions,
bad not had a vision of a Lions
Park and swimming pool, and also
combining with others with the
same spirit of community better-
ment to beautify and establish the
wonderful bowling club? These
things are of a value to the town
that can not be measured in dol-
lars and. cents.
As 1 stated, I have given you,
the people, the facts, which I think
it a duty encumbent on the office
I hold, and no matter what you may
hear or read, you will find that at
least I can tell the truth.
Citizens of Seaforth, let us un-
ite
nite and make our contribution for
this decade, so that in fewer years
than we sometimes 'realize, a gen-
eration will rise to call us blessed.
Yes, I am 100 per cent for this
Memorial Recreation Centre, not
only as a living memorial to brave
comrades, and because of the bene-
fits to be derived,_but as a mark of
progress, aa no community, can
stand still. If there be no progress
there develops a steady and in-
sidious decadance. This has hap-
pened before and can happen
again. -
Let us,' each and everyone, as-
sert our civic pride and at least
keep pace with the dozens of
communities (many of 400 to 600
population), who are now proudly
reaping the benefits to be derived
froZ such a community centre.
Le,.us not sell our heritage for a
mess of pottage.

Prone To Ferget
Postmaster . 0, T. ;Sills, on two
occasions President `of Seaforth
Legion, discusses the: Legion at-
titude towards the Memorial Re-
creation Centre. Mr;. Sills Mils;
"The property owners of Sea -
forth will vote on Monday, on the
question of whether or not we shall
have a Memorial Recreational Cen-
tre. At several well -attended, pub-
lic meetings, the various .piraaesr
of this project were thoroughly
discussed and apparently met with
the approbation of the great ma-
jority. This was why the commit-
tee in charge, in order to save
some three hundred 'dollar expense,
had a petition to all property own-
ers circulated and with witnessed
signatures, presented such petition
of over three hundred signers, to
our ;Municipal Council. However,
the town fathers; on a recorded
vote, insisted that a vote be taken
on Monday, August 15.
The Legion has always been
practically 100 per cent behind this
project. As a Past President for
two separate terms, a 2n ne Com-
mander and Pensions Of.\ er for
over twenty years, veteran affairs,
their needs and proper place in the
community, has always been the
object of any service I could ren-
der. The Legion has duties to per-
form. One of its main reasons for
existence is to see that those who
offered everything they have so
you and I might have. a peaceful
democratic country in which to
live, shall not be forgotten. This
applies 'not only to those who made
the supreme sacrifice, but equally
so to all service veterans. The
Legion has come to believe that a
better method_ than the erecting
of monuments, is found in the
Memorial Hall, or in our case, a
Memorial Recreational Centre.
People are so prone to forget.
What our veterans, in all classes
of the service, have done to place
Canada in the forefront of the na-
tions today, has been no exception
to such forgetfulness.
The Legion, believes forgetful-
ness can be overcame by just such
a project as a Memorial Centre.
Here the youth of the district shall
have before them, everytime they
enter, just another instance of
what their fighting forefathers al-
ways wanted, namely, protection
-for them always. Recreational
Centres are undoubtedly protec-
tion.
rotection for our' youth in these modern,
fast-moving times. With 'so many
avenues leading to improper paths,
the Recreational Centre provides
the means whereby our youth can
be directed to its proper goal—
good Canadian citizenship.
Many arguments are being
brought forward, some by inter-
ested parties and many without
foundation in fact, as to cost and
consequences of having. the Legion
connected with this project. Please
remember that these men of the
Legion, heroes many of them, be-
ing good enough to offer their all
for this country, surely are stili
good enough and capable enough
to handle their affairs in a man-
ner that will commend itself to all
good citizens of one of the finest
towns in Huron County.
The Legion, therefore, asks that
all property owners, especially
those who signed the original peti-
tion, will see to it that an emphatic
approval be given a most worthy
project, one which will continue
to keep our town as a top ranker
in our district, and be a perman-
ent sign of our progressive Cana-
dian ideals."

Keep Young People Here
Pointing out that means must be
found to keep young people in
town, Buzz Finnigan says in re-
gard to the Memorial Recreation
Centre:
"On August 15 the ratepayers of
Seaforth will vote to decide Ahe-
ther or not a proposed Community
Centre will be erected here. A
challenge offered toe the •citizens,who
are directly responsible not only
to themselves, but to the youn;er
generations, for the kind of teen
Seaforth is and will be.
There appears to be a strong
anti -faction in town which for its
own selfish reasons, is campaign-
ing against the issue. But its
judgment seems shortsighted. A
recent survey by a wholesale firm
shows Seaforth is one of the best
business outlets in Western -On-
tario. Surely Seaforth can do as
well as countless towns, some half'
her size, who have erected cen-
tres with far less controversy.
Seaforth needs an executive to
keep young people here; it is a
reflection on the town when nprs-
es come here, only to leave short-
ly, remarking "There's nothing to
do in Seaforth!" The Lions Club
Pool and Park, a real credit to
the community, fills a seasonal
need, but the winter is long and
times have changed since 9 o'clock
was curfew hour for everyone.
The Legion, with all its funds,
is wholeheartedly in support- or
the project. It represents a large
section of the community, service-
men who came back to Seaforth,
who believe in their home town
and who see in the Community
Centre the lona awaited; realiza-
tion of a goal, For their coni-
rades who did not came back, we
believe this should be' named, a
Memorial Hall.
When you vote on August 15,
examine the factors well. Fine
things cannot be valued in dollars.
The gratitude and respect of the
younger generation seems a worth-
while objective. Let us remem-
ber: No man liveth for himself
alone; our interests are all bound
l up together."
