Returns to Home COMMITTEE OPENS FUND AS TRIBUTE TO EX -TEACHER (By James R. Scott) When the projected new Sea forth Public School is completed it will contain a tangible tribute to the work of Miss S .I. McLean, who for more than forty years was kin- dergarten teacher. That is the aim of a locai. committee just set up, comprising Public School Boatel Chairman Fred E. Willis, James A. Stewart and James R. Scott, act- ing as co -treasurers, and Mrs. Gil- christ Livingston Coppin, of De- troit. The idea was Mrs. Coppin's. In an open letter of tribute to Miss McLean on her retirement this year, she suggested "that maybe all Us kids' could honor both Miss McLean and Our Town in some tangible way," and asked that Jim Stewart form a committee to get the project started This has now been done and the committee is prepared to accept donations in alt amounts through the mail to this newspaper, or at Stewart Bros. store, Seaforth. "Of course we can't tell at this stage just what form our tribute to Miss McLean will take," commented Mr. Stewart. "That depends on how much money comes in, but we do know th:r t w hatevrr :t is, a a ill be something concrete in the new scheol, so the succeeding genera- tions of Seaforth youngsters eil know the name and fame of the teacher who started the education of so many of their fathers and mothers." The names of all donors to the fund will be published, but not the amounts. There are children still in public school with a hard-oarn- ed quarter who want to honor their first teacher; there are succe,sful men and women all over North America and beyond the seas who remember her guidance with grati- tude. The committee enpects to hear from them all, and words will be turned into dollars and the dollars into a useful and fitting tribute to Seaforth's greatest story -teller. • After Staffa Crash Kalbfleisch Family Montgomery Davis, well-known Staffa district farmer, was able to return to his home from Scott Memorial Hospital where he was taken following a two -car collision near Staffa on August 7.
