The first heat was run Wednesday afternoon, and the second and third on Friday. The track was still too wet on Thurs- day. The showing of Blue Again high- lighted the program of fast racing. The big, black son of Scotland, fourth in the first heat of the fea- tured event on Wednesday, won handily on Friday. His main op- position, Huron Express, who won the Wednesday heat, wasn't around, but the Leatherdale speed- ster 'from Windsor was at his top form. He won the last heat in 2:09, one of the best miles he has paced in some time. Billie Direct Heir, second on Wednesday, placed in both of Friday's heats. The three-year-old stake failed to fill in Friday's re-ruri. Lady Lee Unco, owned by Roy McCaubrey, of Alvinston, who won the Wed- nesday heat, paced an exhibition mile in 2:16, and was presented with the Grand Bend Plate. Barbara Ann Grattan, owned by Lawrence Pollock, of Parkhill, cap- tured the 2:24 pace. She won the opening heat, was fifth in Friday's first test and then won the final dash. The best time in this one was the 2:13 2-5 mile paced by Stewart Simpson's General Lee III in winning the second beat. Carlie G, owned by J. Campbell, of Walton, and Ramona Chips, from Levi Budden's stable at Dor- chester, were the winners in the divided 2:28 class. Both of these horses had a 2:16 mile to its cred- it. 2:28 Class, 1st Division, Purse $300 Ramona Chips (Levi Bud- den, Dorchester) 2 1 2 Mabel K. Brooks (E.

The sixteenth annual summer carnival of the Seaforth Lions Club, despite being nearly rained out Wednesday evening, ended Friday night a success. Proceeds from the three -night exent, while much the same as last year, will make possible the continued opera- tion of the Lions Park and the :arryiug out of Lions welfare work. The large crowd which filled the park on Thursday and Friday eve- nings saw a program that includ- ed a trained dog and pony act, a baton twirler and a comedian. Bands for the two nights were the Seaforth Highlanders Band and the It.C.A.F. Station Band, Clin- ton. Talk' of a new public school for Seaforth apparently led ,.ome person or persons un- known to commence wrecking the present 813 -year-old build- ing on Church St. In any event, over the week- end some fourteen Panes of glass were smashed, as well as a number of basement win- dows. Police are investigat- ing and have interrogated cer- tain owners of sling shots with the thought that the vandali: m was carried out with a weapon of this type. Building. Seaforth town council set its 1951 tax rate at 69.8 mills at a • special meeting Monday night. This is an increase of 14.4 mills over last year.

As of that date the annual subscription rate will be 92.50 in Canada, and 93.00 in the United States. Single copies will continue to be 5 cents each. While the trend necessitating the price change has been apparent for some time (newsprint, for instance, increased 912.00 a ton this month and now costs nearly three times the price ten years ago), the publishers have hesitated taking any action that would have the effect of increasing the price to their subscribers. This, despite the fact that The Expositor has been the only all -home print weekly in Huron County to continue at the 92.00 rate. All other weeklies in this class advanced' their subscription rates to $2.50 nearly a year ago. It is now no longer possible to absorb the increased cost of pro- duction and at the same time provide bhe complete weekly newspaper service to which our subscribers for more than ninety years have been accustomed, and for this reason an increase of less than one cent a week is necessary. Subscriptions at the present rate will be accepted until August 1. Subscribers until that time may pay one year in advance at the present rate. Subscribers are requested to forward their remittances to reach the office by August 1. Expiry dates are shown on address labels. McLEAN BROS,, Publishers. EXCEL. MILLS' Tal SPOILED .
