Mid -summer climax of activity Seaforth Lions Park will be reached next week when, for three nights, the Lions Club stage :',heir annual summer carnival on the landscaped lawns and around the banked pools of the mu"h-used park. Although the carnival may be the climax, it is t, doubtful if it will signal a Ieup'.`ln activity at the park, where picnic parties, reunion gather- ings, sports teams and hundreds on local and district children have been using its spacious and complete facilities since mid -spring.,., Lions officials have estimated a crowd of over 10,000 will fill the three nights of carnival festivities. All proceeds from the carnival are applied to Lions welfare and service work here, with the greatest part of the revenue needed to maintain and support ,the seven -acre park, shown above. • Business Boxt Is Ancient Ford • around—belongs to a fellow in St. Thomas." Figures On Some Fun Old machines aren't usually good Tor business—what with their de- preciation running higher every year they're kept—but Fred Hurst who runs a )service station a mile or so west of here; has an old machine that's so good for busi- ness he'sturning down offers right and left to buy the thing. The machine's 46 years old; it still runs *ell, and, it's a 1906 Ford. Three years ago Fred bought the old fiivver from a fellow in Goderich. Since then he's been tinkering around' with it, added a distributor, put on new tires and generally doctored it up until ' it's recovered enough to be mobile by itself. Curiosity From Above "All kinds of people have stop- ped to 'have a look at it," says Fred, "and it sure is good for busi- ness." And as if .this early pro- duct of Ford pride and joy weren't doing enough as a customer -stop- per with passing motorists, Fred tells of a few weeks ago when a plane out of Goderich started cir- cling around the station, kept drop- ping lower and finally landed in a' nearby field. "The pilot was mighty curious when he saw the old jal- opy," Fred recalls, "and he told me after' 'he landed he just had to drop down and have a look at it." While in Detroit recently Fred noticed in the Ford' Museum—rest- ing place for specimens of all Ford vehicles produced since the com- pany was founded at the turn of the century—that there was no 1906 model in the lineup. "If Ford haven't got an '06," Fred beamed, "mine might be worth between two and three thousand dollars to me. As far as I know," he added, "there's only one other '06 model And on the subject of the spry madhine's worth, Fred figures this par cl11ar. medal likely cost. , be- t' e n four and five hundred dol- lars in the showrooms of 1906, In the last year or so he's had offers of from $5 to $300 for his now - formidable Ford, ,but he's not sell- ing. "Not yet, anyway," Fred punctu- ated, "because I figure on having a bit of fun with the thing." And fun's the word. When this reporter went out to take a look at Fred Hurst's showpiece, nothing would do but we jump in and take a jaunt up the highway. The horn is still in fine voice, and as Fred and his curious passenger encoun- tered oncoming traffic, one squeeze on the bulb, producing a squack like a young gander, was enough to startle the passing motorists and make them stare—as if the sight weren't enough. Top speed for these models, pro - Mrs. J. R. Sproat Fell On 92nd Birthday' Here The 92nd birthday of Mrs. Jas. R. Sproat, one of the town's oldest residents, was marred Tuesday I when she fell at the home of her niece Mrs.. Barbara Sykes. Mrs. Sproat was taken to Scott Memor- ial Hospital Wednesday morning. Until Tuesday Mrs. Sproat had been in fairly good health. She celebrated her birthday Sunday, when members of her family were able to be present. , duced two years before the' famed Model T began rolling from De- troit in 1908, is reputed to be at 35 miles per hour. Fred's fiivver has been clocked at 30 miles per hour—on a downgrade. Only •trou- ble is, Fred points out, the. machine uses about five gallons of water with every gallon of gas. "But then again," 'he grinned, as he slammed his business boon to a stop by throwing out the pedal gear, "water doesn't cost quite ai much as gasoline." • Public School Staff Members at Courses Nine staff members of Seaforth Public School are away to London, Hamilton or Toronto this week, en rolled in the Department of Educa- tion's various summer school courses. " At London for the five-week course in primary methods are Mrs. Agnes Mason, Mrs. Elva Ellis, Miss Jessie Finlayson, Mrs. Ger- aldine Eckert and Miss Ann Eck- ert. In the education course there is Miss Geraldine Eckert. In the primary methods course at Hamilton are Miss Margaret Willis andaNiss Eleanor Weaver. Principal D. N. Eastman is tak- ing a two weeks refresher course at Toronto. • The buds of Canada's balsam pop- lar are sticky and produce a wax used by wild bees to seal cracks in their hives. R.C.A.F.

Lions officials Thursday estimat- ed a crowd of 10,000 will.take in the carnival over the three days. Wednesday a Club contingent of a •bout 35 men, armed with hammers and enthusiasm, moved into Lions Park—already bounding in summer festivities, with splashing children, gathering clans and organization piceicers—to add' to the activity. Before the afternoon was over, snow -fencing had been strung the length and breadth of the park, the installation of special lighting fix- tures had started, booth framesha'd been moved in, and in general 'the park, if it were alive, could sense that something big was going to happen. Carnival Gains Popularity This weelb and early next week the dressing -up will continue, and with the myriad of detail the carn- ival committees have to look after, it will likely 'be late next Wednes- day afternoon before the final nail, is driven in, the last bulb twisted on, and the remaining sign set up. Even then the committees' labor won't be over, for Seaforth's an- nual summer fun fest, gaining pop- ularity through this area of West- ern estern Ontario year by year, is no one-night affair. As Thursday fol- lows Wednesday and Friday fo_L lows Thursday, so does the work of the local Lions committees and the opportunity for Seaforth and districts residents to treat them- selves to "a whale of a lot of fun." Pagentry and top-notch enter- tainment is the keynote of this year's carnival, Leading the color- ful opening -night parade, which starts at the corner of Sperling and Goderich 'Streets at 7:30 p.m., will be the popular Goderich Girls', Trumpet Band, who're as pleasing to look at as they are to listen to.! Our own Seaforth Highlanders 1 Band heads he throng Thursday! night, and Friday night's movement Il to the park will be featured with' the leadership of the R.C.A.F.'s famed 50 -piece Training Command Band from Trenton, reputed to be Canada's finest 'band. First -Rate Entertainers Not 'to be outdone by John Bald - win's parade committee, J. A. Mur - ray's program corps has lined up some first'rate entertainers for the three nights. With a new troupe every night, such artists as Holly- wood's Harmonica Bill Russell, The Keppos, Ernie Bruce and Her- ry Balancia will provide comedy, i thrills, songs and amusement on the stage—and for no extra ad- mission. But all the fun won't fall from the stage. John Longstaff's games committee has arranged for such an array of games, rides' and amusement booth that nobody who jaunts to the park on the three nights will have an excuse to stand around wishing there was something else to do. In -addition to rides for the youngsters—and the not -so -youngsters there'll be enough , hot dog and ice cream booth's for everybody to eat too much at—and enough spots featur- ing"Crown and Anchor, Ring -the - Money, Hit the Nigger, and a raft of others, for everybody to grin or groan at, depending on their luck. New Portable Booths A novelty at this year's carnival will be the portable booths the grounds and construction commit- tee have built. These were design- er by C. M. Smith for easier move- ment, quicker erection and space economy, And that last quality means there can be more of them for more fun. Amid this galaxy of games, en- tertainment and spectacle there's still a headliner feature that's go- ing to fall in somebody's lucky lap McKillop Farmer Injured As Mower Spring Flew While repairing a mower at his McKillop township farm, Dyke Wheatley suffered a cut right eye and broken nose when the spring lie was working on flew up and, struck him in the face. He was taken to the Seaforth Clinic,for treatment. and later was alloed to go home. • Passes U.W.O.Exams With Six Firsts Delbert (Bud) Sinith, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M.

After the minutes' were read, adopted, signed and nor-, respondence read, road accounts amounting to $16,792.13 and mis- cellaneous accounts totalling $3,- 569.97 were ordered paid. The township rate was set at. 8.1 mills. Robert Nicholson's tender of $2,234.70 on the Linton Drain was accepted. J. A, Howes, O.L.S., is to be notified to examine the Wolfe Municipal Drain, on the com- plaint of a ratepayer. Council, hav- ing received e, notice to clean out the ditch on the 'sideroad between lots 25 and 26, concession 5, 'de- cided to hold a meeting of the land owners affected at the corner of concession 5, July 23, at 7 p.m. Council decided to extend the time of cash payment on the Nicholson Drain from July 5 to August 2. 'Council then adjourned to meet again August 4 at 7:10 in the eve- ning. • Brothers United After 47 Years Auguste Ducharme, Hibbert, had not seen his brother, Julius, since 1905. This week, after' a 47 -year separation: the two met after lir ins, his wife, and their son, Ed- mond, journeed from Westlock, Alberta, where Mr. Ducharme years ago started a homestead, cleared the land, and now owns a. 480 -acre farm. • Boy Loses 'Foot When Mower Starts Three-year-old Stewart .Dow had his left foot severed just above the ankle Saturday when he became entangled in a hay mower on the farm of his father,' Elmer Dow, Cromarty. The boy was watching his father clear the mower of an obstruction. Unknown to Mr. Dow, his son ran into the machine as he was starting it in operation again., Hospital authorities at Stratford, where the lad was taken, said Mon. - day his condition had improved over the week -end. Friday night. It's a new model Chevrolet, and if tickets keep go- ing the way they are now, very few' are going to have a chance to get in on the feature by Friday night. A chance on the car canbe had by asking any local merchant or Lions Club member, and waiting is not wise. Draw Every Night There'll be a draw every night of the carnival, with an electric refrigerator going Thursday night and a combination radio -phono- graph on Wednesday night. Every ticket-holder—except the 'two who find themselves with a refrigerator and a radio -phonograph set—will be in the running for the Chevro- let Friday night. All ticket pro- ceeds go to Lions Club welfare and service work here. The club has announced their 1952 carnival committees as fol- lows: General, E. Larone, A. W. Sillery, W. E.
