Dolmage Reunion Held in Lions Park A Great Canadian Era "There is no easy, overnight road to peace," Mr. McLean emphasized, and warned that "we must pay the price of preparedness." Despite this, Mr. McLean said, graduates today stand on the threshold of a great Canadian era. "Although you are heirs to many problems,a-- the speaker concluded, "you are also heirs to •great achievements. I am sure you, as graduates, will add to the laurels already won by graduates of this school before you." Mr. McLean was introduced by James L. Slatterya Prior to the guest speaker's address, Principal L. P. Plumsteel paid honor to the current graduates and reviewed some of the academic achievements of recent great:fates.

McGavin noted that the Board was openfor suggestions on how to make the high school build- ing grant go as far as possible. "It has been a battle to get enough money to overhaul the school the way it is wanted," he said. Delivers Valedictory The prayer of invocation was made by Rev. John Stinson. The class valedictorian, Leslie McSpad- den, McKillop, recalled that in his colleagues' five years at high school they had learned, above academic matter, self-reliance. co- operation "for the common good," and tolerance. "In this world of complexities," Mr. McSpadden said, "we need faith in God, in ourselves and in the future." He exhorted hie fel- low graduates to set their goals high and to gain strength of char- acter from life's lifficulties. Following the valedictory address a gift was presented to Miss Fen- nell by Patsy Lane.

All grades now occupy the new building, recently turned over to the Board by the architects. In moving the pupils into the school during the last weeks of the current school year, the Board be- lieved a period of familiarization with the new school for the pupils at the end of the present term would tend to proinote a quicker resumption of studies next Septem- ber. Official opening oN the new school will be early in September. While plans are not definite, sev- eral features are under considera- tion for the opening ceremonies. As well, the Board intends to open the school for public inspection at that time. With the exception of some grounds cleaning and further land- scaping, -work is completed at the $275,000 school. It is planned to construct a pedestrian gateway at the Goderich Street entrance to the school. This will be built of flag- stone. In connection with the grounds landscaping, the Board urges parents to dissuade their children from playing about the school during the summer holidays, in order to give the seeded lawn areas a chance to grow. Public school closes for the sum- mer holidays this Friday, June 26, and reopens Tuesday, September 8. Bingo, Lions Leslie, Ross Ham- ilton, H.

Northside Tyro Boys Win 21-19 in Clinton Agricutural Society Faces Space Problem Seafoith Agricultural Society is a busy tenly these days. With 1953's Fall Pair only three month& away, preparations are well under way for this year's show. Current headache of the Society is the lack of space. With two re- gional cattle shows scheduled for the Seaforth fall fair this year— the Hesford and Shorthorn shows --mentbers discover that space is a searcta4tommodity. At Tuesday night's meeting the problem was discussed and suggestions for a solution heard. No definite deci- sion was made however. . Secretary -treasurer Fred Snow reports that some changes have been made in entry regulations for the three horse race classes. First race is confined to winners of not more than $400; second race to win- ners of not more than $1,000; green race to winners of not more than $150. Mr. Snow also reports that two new trophies have been donat- ed this year for cattle class compe- tition, by Harvey Leslie and the Seaforth Farmers Co-op. An en- tertaining innovation on this year's program will be a calf race, he added. Donkey baseball will return to Seaforth Saturday evening, July 25. The Agricultural Society, spon- soring the event, has not yet pick- ed the local district sportsmen who will engage in this hilarious com- petition.

Construction of the two-storey addition will square the building and bring the completed front flush to the south Main Street sidewalk. It was suggested by Fred Peel, Manager of the local subsidiary of J. A. Johnston Company Ltd,, of Brockville, that the enlarged quar- ters, with space for increased pro- duction, will mean further employ- ment requirements.. At present over 75 persons are employed at the factory. Mr. Peel indicated the extension could necessitate the hie Mg of 25 more employees. In the new space facilities it is the intention of the Company to add other lines of children's and infants' shoes. Present styles of shoe production are largely con- cerned with this line. New n.a- chinery, as well as a new heating plant, will be installed in the addi- tion. Mr. Peel added than the addi- tion will definitely mean increased shoe production. "Since 1951," he remarked, "employment and pro- cluctien here has doubled." Contractor for the enlargement is Norman MacLean, Egniondvale, Cement work is being done by Earl Dick, Cromarty. Work is ex- pected to be mostly completed by the. end of July. Starting at ,11 a.m. Wednesday morning, when be left his private railway car at Goderich 'with an entourage of colleagues, aides and reporters, Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent launched on a day -long Huron County tour which included stops at Londesboro, Blyth, Bel - grave, and a formal meeting at Clinton in the afternoon. The prime minister was in the riding of Hur- on in the interests of A. Y. Mc- Lean, Liberal candidate. Wherever he went the Prime Minister was greeted by cheering crowds and the full-dress welcome of civic officials. At Clinton, where he made an address in the Agricul- tural Park, an estimated 1,200 per- sons greeted Mr. St. Laurent. Holiday for Goderich Schools Prime Minister St. Laurent pack- ed a parade, a hospital, a luncheon and two speeches into the two -and - one -half hour visit to Goderich. He scored a big triumph by proclaim- ing a half-day holiday for school children. As the prime minister's motor- cade neared the big circular park in downtown Goderich, it took up position behind the 35 member Goderich Girls' Trumpet Band whose performance he later called magnificent. The prime minister, introduce by Mr. McLean, thanked Goderich for its turnout, .a tribute, he said, "to the high office I have the priv- ilege to occupy." As in other speeches later in the day, he ad- dressed himself to the children, stressing the poteetial of their fu., ture and telling of Government ef- forts to make sure today's children don't go through wars such as the two this generation has experienc- ed. The Girls' Trumpet Band played again as the prime minister ar- rived at the pavilion for lunch. He shook hands with Bandmaster Jol- ley and three majorettes. Speaks of NATO at Clinton Mr. St. Laurent's luncheon speech was preceded with the suggestion, "Don't let me keep you from your strawberry shortcake." Introduced at the Clinton meet- ing by Mr. McLean, who termed him an "architect of a greater Can- ada," Mr. St. Laurent was , wel- Local Teams Winners In Bowling Tourney Here Monday Night The first bowling event of the season was held Monday evening when an outside tournament was held on the Seaforth bowling greens.

Eight Injured in Two -Car Collision Injuries were sustained by eight people, seven of them women, in a two -car crash here Wednesday af- ternoon on No. 8 Highway, just op- posite the entry way to Seaforthes, picturesque Lions Park. According to Provincial Police* Constable Gordon Ferris, Seaforth, who investigated the accident, Rev. C. W. Down, Exeter, was driving east on the highway and came to: a stop just beyond the Park lane. A car driven by Honey Offenstein, 17, St. Catharines, travelling in the same direction behind the Down car, -collided with the stop- ped vehicle. Follow-ing the crash six of the eight injured were taken. to hospitals in Seaforth and Exe- ter. Miss Offenstein was treated in Scott Memorial Hospital here fbr facial cuts. Her mother, Mrs, Ed- na Offenstein, also of St. Cathar- ines, suffered a broken ankle, brok- en ribs, a fractured jaw and cuts to the face. She was the only oth- er person in the Offenstein vehicle.

Because Mr. St. Laurent made two unscheduled stops en route to Blyth, the towns folk and about 100 children waited an extra 15 minutes for him, The big event lasted only 10 minutes, but it was a big event because even the old- timers weren't sure when a Gov- ernment chief had last stopped here. Reeve W. H. Monett extended a happy formal welcome. So did Rely Vincent, president of the Blyth Lib- eral Association. Another crowd at Belgrave awaited the prime minister. The official honors were done by Reeve Harvey' Johnston, of Morris Town- ship. He and Reeve Orval Taylor, of East Wawanosh Township, were among the officials presented to Mr. St. Laurent.
