Fol 1953-54 Hockey
With six veterans of last year's
Ontario Junior 'B' finalist hockey
squad ready to take to the ice
again this season for Seaforth, also
good prospects for additional play-
er strength to bolster the 1953-54
season's team, Coach Ralph Mc-
Fadden made an encouraging re-
port to some 35 interested citizens
and members of the executive at
the annual meeting of the Athletic

tion executive pointed out that lo-
cal and district bays are welcome
to come to the first practices to try
out for the team. Manager of the
arena this year will be Roy Mc-
Gonigle, town.
May Zell Subscribere, Tickets
The advisability of selling sub-
scribers' tickets for the coming
hockey season was disclussed at
the Monday meeting. The Associa-
tion, generally agreeable that this
method of .selling tickets would be
satisfactory, decided to discuss the
idea further with the Community
Centre committee and, devise a
sale plan at a later date.
John Jartieswill again coach the
midget team, and Gordon McGon-
igle and Hugh Thompson will be
oo-managers. Don Morton will be

$2.50 a Year in My -
Described by Board Chairman Fred E. Willis as "a worthwhile
investment in the welfare of the children of this community," Seaforth's
new $275,000 Public School was officially opened last Thursday night
by Miss S. I. McLean, teacher of kindergarten here for 41 years, before
an audience of some ell0local and district citizens. Guest speaker in
the wellhalanced program ceremonies was Dr. C. F. Cannon, Deputy
Minister of Education-. ••
Dr. Cannon, who conveyed greet-
ings and congratulations from the
Demister of Education to. the School
Board, Council and citizens of Sea -
forth, remarked early in his address
that by force of "demanding and re-
sisting groups" in many municipali-
ties, a "mood" to build more new
schools was being engendered. In
the case of Seaforth, he indicated,
that mood had materialized.
Sees Enrolment Increase
Quoting birthrate figures in the
1940's, the Deputy Minister predict-
ed the next few years will see an
even greater increase in elemen-
tary school enrolment. "Children
are on the march," he stated, and
explained that this year in Can-

Hayfield's annual Fall Fair, this

about the best yet.
The new building was erected by

central authority, is granting more
local authority in order that muni-
cipalities may better conform to
local wishes, needs and ability to
pay.
Turning to the value of new
schools, the speaker asserted that
"when one considers children are
in school more than anywhere else,
except in bed, it is necessary to
have healthful school living." This
is made conducive by proper facili-
ties and environment, he conclud-
ed. "Time is the essence of learn-
ing, but a healthy atmosphere as-
sists the process of learning,', Dr.
Cannon stated.
Chairman Urges Interest
In suggesting that children "learn
to like to read," learn. to make their
own decisions and 'accept the con-
sequences, Dr. Cannon emphasized
that the Golden „Rule, inlearning,
is still beyond these. Concluding,
the Deputy Minister phrased school
as "a place to seek truth in the
company of friends."
Chairman Willis, in his opening
remarks, commented that October 1
was possibly an inopportune time
for the school opening, since muni-
cipal taxes become due on that date
and no doubt new school costs oa
the tax bill would be well in the
minds of the ratepayers. However,
Mr. Willis continued, indicating
the value of the new public school,
few citizens would dispute that
public school years are the most
important in a child's training and
education.
The chairman, continuing, deplor-
ed the fact that only a minority of
a
efforts of Inspector Kinkead and
the Board, said that too often citi-
zens are inclined to forget the time
and effort expended by Board mem-
bers in the school's administration.
'A plaque, hearing the names of the
Board members, contractor and
architect, was presented to the
School and accepted by Clifford
Broadfoot.
