Hensall's 64th annual stock fair, held. Friday, was a decided suc- cess, according to President Geo. Armstrong and Secretary -Treasur- er Dick Etherington, • of the South Huron Agricultural Society. It was a day for farmers of sev- eral counties to show off some of Western Ontario's finest pure bred cattle and horses. And winners in the various livestock competitions carried away close to $1,500 in Gash prizes awarded by officials of South Huron Agricultural Society, -sponsors of the event_ More than 130 head of beef and dairy cattle, Shorthorns, Angus, Herefords and Holsteins, were ex- hibited in competition in the arena building, where judging' continued all day. The horse show drew even great- er crowds to the park bleachers overlooking the circular dirt track. Well over 20 different classes were judged. Entries ranged from the ponder- ous and ,heavy Peraherons and Clydesdales, their manes braided and tails beribboned; down to the sprightly, high - stepping ponies harnessed to smart carriages. Chairman Robert Saunders, lo -4 the Ontario Hydro -Electric Power ,Commission, declared the fair of- ficially open. He spoke briefly on the expansion of hydro services In Alm province, with particular stress, on the importance of the SL Lawrence Seaway project. The St. Lawrence Seaway, the id, would provide Ontario with additional source . of hydro power, which otherwise would have to come from costly operation of .team plants. In the Exeter -Clio rural oper- ating area hydro servic was being fed to 5,780 consumers this month, more than 2,000 of them hooked into the system since 1947, Mr. Saunders said, Baby Show A baby show attracted nearly a score of young mothers- to the ppeelier's •platforia wilt, their in- fants: Winners finally chosen iiy the. :baby judge, Dr. J.

Scott Establishes High School Scholarship Public School Board Reports on Progress to Date To clarify a number of points that have been under discussion recently, the Public School Board wishes to recapitulate the follow ing points' that have previously ap- peared from time to time in the local papers. The present school building has served the community well, the Board having on file a copy of the deed of land dated 10th January, 1871, signed by James Beattie and Samuel Stark, and no doubt the original building was built soon af- ter that date. Some years later the addition was built, that part run- ning east and west that makes the present 'T' shaped building. Throughout all the years, and as shown on the financial reports, the maintenance has- slowly but surely been increasing. The Department of Education report of 1938 sug- gested an early change and subse- quent reports of architects and en- gineers ngineers advised the Board that a new building was essential. A re- cent report from the Fire Marshal's office has also advised the Board to make Changes that would be quite an expenditure. This, with the increasing maintenance, would total quite a figure, which the Board believe would be much, bet- ter spent on a new building In recent years steps were taken to ascertain ,the advisability of again building an addition and making major renovations to the existing school. However, when it was found that this would cost some $90,000 (3-4 years ago), and the major part of the building would still be the old school re- quiring maintenance, the Board de- cided against such a step, which left the only alternative—that of a new building throughout., Besides the overall maintenance on the school, there were other fac- tors presented to the Board. In 1950 the boiler inspector reported the heating equipment as becom- ing obsolete, and that the boiler in all probability have to be replaced in. two to three years. Ta replace the boiler would' entail the tearing out of a portion of the southwall— the wall that it was advised was not too strong, and which would, perhaps, be difficult or impossible to replace. Most rooms in the school are, and have been, over- crowded, a fact that has been point- ed out by Inspector Kinkead's re- ports for some time. Estimates of future attendance, based on the birth rate, show that a further in- crease can be expected, which would result in even more over- crowding. The Board has been advised that the sanitary facilities are at pres- ent antiquated and inadequate, the present water 'supply not being large enough for the fixtures in- stalled, and more fixtures would be required for additional attendance. Also based on present-day stand- ards, the available playground space is too small, and the lighting throughout the school is far from satisfactory. It is realized that lights are not often required, but when they are there should be the proper amount for such young pupils, it being reported that there are a larger percentage of Seaforth pupils wearing glasses than there are in other schools. All the foregoing points, coupled with the fact that the greater per- centage of pupils receive their on- ly education in public school, the present Board—the representatives of the ratepayers—feel they ,have no alternative, and that they are obligated- to advocate a new school. Last year the Board made a sur- vey of probable sites in Seaforth, and they feel they have exhausted all possibilities. Some sites were rejected for reasons of extra cost due to drainage, fill required, etc.; some were unobtainable at any cost,. and• others would not permit any future expansion that may be require$ should the Department of Education institute Public School Areas, the same as the High School. In choosing the old Agri- cultural Grounds, at the west en- trance to town, the Board believes when all matters are considered, that it is thebest site available, and this was also the opinion of Dr. Pleva, who recently spoke at the Chamber of Commerce dinner on "Town Planning." In the past two years the Board has visitedand inspected numerous other schools of the type that will be required in Seaforth, and more recently have interviewed quite a number of architects on the mat- ter of building. And' due to rising costs, the Board has been advised to move aa rapidly as possible, This is sometimes difficult, since the Department of Education has a s-chedule that must he followed, The first of these, of course, was deciding the need of a new school, the site and general type of build- ing required. The Board, assisted by Inspector Kinkead, forwarded a proposal to the Department, and Huron County Junior Farmers' As- sociation; has won for ,himself an enviable record over the past two, year period, and was awarded the trip to Chicago. BAND CONCERT The first band concert of the season will be Sunday night at 8:30 p.m., as announced by Bandmaster E. H. Close. H. E. SMITH NAMED LIONS PRESIDENT Ladies' Night Planned for June 11 At Grand Bend. H. E. Smith was elected presi- dent of the Seaforth Lions Club Monday night. It was the annual election night meeting, with the retiring president, W. T. Teall, in the chair. Other officers elected include: 1st vice-president, Frank Kling; 2nd vice-president, Dr. J. O. Turn- bull; 3rd vice-president, A. W. Sil- lery; secretary, W. E. Southgate; treasurer, M. A. Reid; tail twister, John Longstaff; Lion tamer, J. R. Spittal; directors, -R. S. McKereher and• M. E. Clarke. W. T. Teall announced plans for ladies' night, to be held in Grand Bend on June 11. Clarence Walden reported that approximately 17 tons of salvage had been gathered in the recent collection, amounting to $235.00. The meeting was held in St. Thomas' Parish Hall. this proposal was approved. The next step was to approach the Town Council for the issue of a debenture to cover the cost of building. This was not the first approach to council since the ad- visability of a new school had been discussed at previous meet- ings. But at the May meeting the Board was gratified to learn that the Council, too, was in favor of a new school, and approval of a de- benture "not -to exceed $275,000,00" was given.. It• may be pointed out that although the Council approv- ed this amount, it may be that a new school can be built for a lesser amount, and that if this is so, the debenture will be for the amount as- tendered by the accepted con- tractor. Also that although the town takes out the debenture for the amount of the tender, the De- partment of Education will pay 40 per cent of the principal and in- terest as the payments fall due. To bring the schedule up to the present, .the next procedure is for the Town Council to ask approval of the debenture from the Munici- pal Board of Ontario. If this ap- proval is received, the Board may then proceed to engage an archi- tect who will present sketches. These, too, must be approved by the Department of Education, as must the working drawings or blue- prints. Considering the above points showing that some chs s re- quired, that there is a w modern curriculum, that the Department of Education and Municipal Board have supervision over the project, and that a thorough investigation has been made, the Board is con- vinced that a new building is essen- tial. The Board, too, cannot help but observe that for years no interest has been shown in school matters, and that although articles have appeared in the local papers ex- plaining the situation, there was still little interest shown. Also, that it has proved difficult from time to time to obtain members on the Board..—who are supposed to be elected representatives of the rate- payers—on this important body that looks after the education of Seaforth's coming citizens. The present Board, believes the ratepay- ers are fortunate in having a Coun- cil such as that at present, and a Board who, with no remuneration, work and look after the best in- terests of the town. STUDENTSELIGIBLE TO COMPETE FOR $500.00 AWARD Benefactor Was Former Resident Of Seaforth; Born in Harpurhey. Lawrence P. Plumsteel, principal of Seaforth District High School, was advised Wednesday that Mr. Robert Bruce Scott, Toronto, who died May 21, had established schol- arships for students graduating from the Seaforth District High School.

Until the total assets of the es- tate are gathered together, it is not known how many of the scholar- ships will be available each year. In any event, the first one awarded each year will be to a stu- dent intending to attend Uni- versity College, Toronto, ' a n d any others will be for stu- dents intending to attend any oth- er university or Royal Military College, Kingston,.

Referring to the number of char- itable donations made by South Huron branches during the past year, Miss Anne Lawson, of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, reminded members that the Wo- men's Institute was not essential- ly ssentially a "money -raising organization." "No matter how worthy are these causes to which you donate, re- member that education is the -basis of the Women's Institute, and rais- ing money should take second place," she declared. "When .I heard about the vast sums you had raised," she added, "I expected to hear that you had used it to estab- lish a girls' club scholarship."
