Dr., Mrs, Foster S. Harburn
Are Married 50 Years
Widely kuown Seaforth resi-
dents, Dr. Foster Harburn and Mrs.
Harburn, celebrated the 50th anni-
versary of their marriage at their
home, North Main St., on Tuesday.
Prior to his retirement in 1945, Dr.
Harburn was a veterinary surgeon
here for 43 years.
Born in Hibbert Township, son
of Thomas Harburn and Elizabeth
Foster, he attended S.S. 3, Hib-
bert, at Staffa. His wife, as a girl,
attended S.S. 2, Hibbert, nearby.
She was the former Fanny Pinder,
daughter of Richard Pinder and his
wife, Mary Ann Parish.
The couple were married on June
8, 1904, in the then Methodist par-
sonage at Mitchell by a friend, the
Rev. Charles W. Brown.
William Pinder, brother of the
bride, and Beatrice Kemp were
witnesees to the ceremony. The
newlymarried couple drove to Sea -
forth by horse and, buggy follow-
ing the ceremony. Dr. Harburn
had purchased the practice of Dr.
Wilfred Fowler the previous year.
Previously he had ,practised, in Mit-
chell for a few months, and prior
to that had .attended Toronto Vet-
erinary College and the University
of North Dakota.
Recalling the difficulties, he fac-
ed in building up a business, Dr.
Harburn told of standing id front
of his office one morning when an
elderly gentleman drove up and
asked for the veterinary. When
Dr. Harburn said he was, he was
told that it was Dr. Fowler who
was wanted. "Your only a bit of
a boy; you wouldn't be able to do
anything,' the gentleman said, as
he drove off.
Later, Dr. Harburn learned the
gentleman was Timothy Ryan, of
McKillop, and for many years he
looked after Mr. Ryan's stock.
Dr. Harburn has always been ac-
tive on behalf of the community.
He is a former Mayor, having serv-
ed for two terms. was Reeve, and
served on the Council for eight
years.
Both be and Mrs. Harburn have

Amateurs, in Sports, (Is
Thing of Past, Writer Claims
June 8, 1964.•
The Editor:
Dear Sir: At this time of mass
sports and the struggle to get a
winning team, money has made
'rmatears into sham-atuers. The
day of playing for ftttn has become
,cornmereialized beyond reason. In
the old days, a player gave every-
thing
veryThing he had, for the fun of play-
ing.
Today, this has passed. Now it
is; "How much can I get out of it
for myself?" The better the player,.
the more money and goods are de-
euand'ed. From a purely ,profe'ssion..
al angle this is reasonable, but
when it creeps and also Leaps into
be simonrp'ures, it has passed be-
yond the point of reason. The Io -
cal and ordinary player Is passed
rep for an import, who can gran&
Standand put the club or team in
the money, to pay out more for oth-
er players.
The paying public has turned out
in the past to see their local team
play and fonnd they • did not know
half the players, and in some In-
etanees, not even one on the team.
En pro sport this has no bearing
on the support the team receives
In local sport it is becoming more
apparent that the public is ceasing
40 support the so-called amateur
games; therefore, it is your goribe's
bumble opinion that there should
be a sharp division 'between, pro
and, amateur. If pay is expected or
-.deatanded, then the amateur should
burn pro, and play es such. The
Weal "sport for fun" players would
then, get their chance to partici-
este and the sport would be spread
around, so that more would; get in-
to these games.
Into this pot,arapuri a light of
pure amateurism ehines like a ,bea-
von. It is "Huron Football Awes,
tion." This league is comprised of
sport -for -fun players. No player is
imported, and none are paid. The
mileage that a player can travel to
play for a team is definitely re-
stricted, and has been for years.
This league has been in operation
as far back 'as the oldest memory,
and has always catered to' home-
brews, This league, in common
with other sports, has had its ups
and downs with differences of opin-
ions, but ithas always been oper-
ated in a demoocratic way. E'a.ch,
club has a representative on the
executive council. The president
has no vote, but exerts an influence
on the meeting.
Huron Football Association has
been fortunate in its past presi-
dents and council members.. These
men, who, in most instances, are
exspiayers, have always stood for
the policy of "all for one and one
for all." The trophies have all.
been donated by ex -players and
council members. Our oldest tro-
phy, the Stephenson Cup, was ,pre-
sented for Senior competition by
our good friend, Leo Stephenson,
now living in Seaforth. Leo was a
spearhead in the 1932 days, and can
always be relied upon to back good
clean sport. The minor trophy was
presented for competition' amongst
the muititude of youngsters gather-
ed in the various communities. We
have the Brussels Motors to thank
for this Cup. Our latest trophy was
•presented for Intertnediaate compe-
tition by our present vice-presi-
dent, Barry Marshall, of Walton.
This goes to show we still have
that good clean type of player ex-
ecuti6e in the league. So, our hats
are off to a sport in this area that
keeps its hands out of other peo-
ple's pockets', to pay for amateur
uliPOrt,

always been active in church
work, Mrs. Harburn being es-
peciallly active in the women's or-
ga nizati ons.
In addition to his municipal work
Dr. Harburn has been a member of
the board of the Methodist, now
Northside United, Church, for over
45 years, several of which he was
secretary -treasurer. Due to ill
health, last year's annual meeting
was the first one missed in, 41
years.
Dr. Harburn was also a member
bf Maitlandbank Cemetery Board,
for about seven years, and for 45
years was active in the Agricultur-
al Society, for which he received
an award of merit two years ago,
'Since 1912 he has been secretary -
treasurer of the Canadian Order of
Foresters and has been an Odd Fel-
low for 47' years and a member of
the L.O.L_r for almost 25 years,
He was a member of the local
Board of Health for six years and
was presented with a life member-
ship certificate for meritorious
work for 35 years on behalf of the
Bible Society.
Dr. and Mrs. Harburn have one
daughter, Evelyn:, Mrs. Irwin Tre-
wartha, of McKillop. There is one
grandchild. Dr. Harburn has two
brothers living, Leslie of Staffa,
and Frank of Delisle, Sask.
The anniversary occasion was
spent quietly at their home which
they built in 1947, but many, friends
dropped in to extend congratula-
tions. They received many letters
and telegrams, as well as flowers
in honor of the event.

Wedding Gowns Recall Styles ofiYears Ago
S, Now we have the gown which
was born by Mrs. Thomas McMil-
lan, formerly Mary McLean, who
was married in 1888. This dress,
which is 66 years old, is of corded
silk and is being worn tonight by
Mrs. John Talbot, Perhaps some of
you will recall that the groom in
this wedding, Mr. Thomas McMil-
lan, was the member of parliament
previous to Senator W. H. Golding.
9. This wedding gown is the one
worn by Mrs. McMillan's daughter
at her wedding in 1933. She is Mrs.
W. L. Vi-'hyte, the former Margaret
McMillan. The dress, of French
lace, Is being modelled by the
bride's daughter, Mary Whyte.
10. Our next dress belonged to
Mrs. Robert Clark, the former
Laura Bennett. She was married in
1892 in this gown of satin, and it
is• modelled, by Mrs. John Thomp-
son. Mrs. Clarke was the mother
of Mr. George Clarke, who Is the
organist at St. Thomas' Anglican
Church.
11. This gown belonged to the
mother of Mrs. Clarence Walden,
President of the Women's Associa-
tion. She was Mrs. George Yung-
hlutt, formerly Ann Walper, of De-
troit, and was married' in 1898. The
dress, which isbatiste, is being
worn by her .granddaughter, Mar-
jorie Walden.
(Continued' on Page 6)
Styles through the years were
highlighted Friday when Northside
W.A. presented a bridal pageant, in
which wedding gowns, of various
eras were modelled. A large audi-
ence saw the interesting display.
Baskets of early summer flowers
formed a pretty setting in the
church sanctuary. Mrs. F. J.
Bechely was in charge of decora-
tions.
Rev. J. W. Stinson introduced
the pageant commentator, Mrs. P.
L. Brady. Mrs. J. A. Stewart, church
organist, played traditional wed-
ding music throughout the evening.
Miss Ruth Cluff, Mrs. Nell Bell,
Mrs. M. Nediger, Mrs. Ross Ham-
ilton., Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stewart,
Mrs. John Cardno, Ken Larone,
Peter Spittal, Sandy McMillan,
Wayne Ellis, Fred James and
Mrs. W. Leeming contributed pro-
gram numbers.
Mrs. P. L. Brady, who wore her
mother-ln-law's wedding gown of
1906, a Paris, model of cream bri-
dal satin and Brussels lase, which
she herself wore in 1940, described
the various models' as they appear-
ed, as follows:
1. The first dress we have to of-
fer
ffer you 15 not our oldestgown, but
It is the wedding gown of the first
bride married in this church. She
was married by her father. Rev.
I3uggin, who was the church's first
minister. The bride? Mrs. James
Beattie. the former Lela. Buggin;
and the year -1878, The, dress is
76 years old and of brown silk and
velvet. Isn't it quaint? Mrs. 13. F.
Christie is modelling 'it for us to-
night.
2. This next dress is our oldest
gown. It was not a wedding dress,
but a party dress, worn by Miss
.Isabel Hamilton, who later became
Mrs. Angus McDermott, the mother
of Mr. Mac McDermott. The dress
was first worn at a 24th of May
ball in Harpunhey in 1860-94 years
ago. The dress is organdy and is
being worn tonight by Alice Chris-
tie. Can't you imagine Mise Ham-
ilton as the belle of the ball when
she wore this dress?
3. Mrs. John Scarlett, formerly
Matilda Hewdye (Hudie), was the
bride who first wore this lovely
gown in 1880. It Is of taffeta and is
being worn tonight by the bride's
great-granddaughter, Eileen Mc-
Cartney. An interesting item in re-
gards to this model is that Eileen
is wearing the complete set of jew-
ellery
ewellery as worn by the original bride
—even to the wedding ring.
4. The wedding at which thia
dress was worn took place in. 1908.'
It is not quite in chronological se-
quence, but we have put it in here
beoause it was the dress worn by
the previous 'bride's daughter -In-
law, who was Mrs. Fred W. Scar-
lett, formerly Eva Sholdice. It is
modelled by the bride's , grand-
daughter, Elinor McCartney, a sis-
ter of the previous model. This
dress is of white batiste.
5. 'This is the third generation
of the Scarlett trio—the dress worn
by the former Eva Scarlett; who
married Mr. George McCartney in
1931. The gown is f shell pink
crepe with a 'bodice of lace, and is
Being modelled by Barbara Plum -
steel. And so, this, makes three
generations of gowns and the
fourth generation Is represented by
two of the models.
6. The next gown belonged to
Mrs. John Broadfoot, the former
Helen Ronald, who was married in
Chatham in 1882 by Dr. F. H. Lar-
kin,
arkin, a former .Seaforth minister.
The dress, 72 years old, Is of cream
cashmere and is being modelled by
Dora Ann Stinson. Notice the Dol-
man Dora Ann is wearing; we call
it a stole, but it was very fashion-
able in those days too.
At this point Mrs. Nell Bell
sang, "I'11 Walk Beside You."
7. Mrs. Stanley Bray is wearing
the satin gown which was first
worn by Mrs. William Coleman,
formerly* Sarah Jane Consitt, in
1866. Mrs. Milton Stewart, of Sea -
forth, la the daughter of Mrs. Cole -

Hullett Asks Help as
Highway Condition
Necessitates Detours
Work being carried out on' No. 8
Highway between Seaforth and
Clinton has placed a heavy load on
Concession 2 of Hullett Townships
it was indicated at a meeting of
Hullett Township Council, heft' in
the Community Hall, Londesboro.
on Monday evening.
Motorists faced with an almost
impassable highway-, have com-
menced using the township road,
which parallels the highway. This
has resulted in the maintenance
problem on the township road be-
ing made much greater than is ord-
inarily the case.
Council agreed that since the
conditis'n that resulted was because
of the work on No, 8 Highway,
application should be made to the
Department of Highways for assist-
ance in handling the cost of the
additional maintenance which has
become necessary.
Council adopted' a motion by
Councillors W. R. Jewitt and T.
Leiper, as follows: "That due to
the fact. that No. 8 Highway is
nearly impassable because of work
being done on it by the Province,
and that Concession 2 is being used
by many aSI a detour road, we do
write to the District Engineer ask-
ing, if possible, to have assistance
from the Province to repair and
apply calcium chloride to the road
immediately." Carried:
Council gave the necessary read-
Inge and finally passed By -'Law No.
A.D. 1954-7-8. Approval was given
a gra.n,i. of $1,200 to the Hullett
Towndhip Community Hall Board.
Council approved payment of the
following accounts: advertising,
$36.27; grants, $1,215; Londesboro
street lights, $20.96; health, 94c;
salaries, $125; drainage, $50; war-
ble fly spray, $1,474.79; livestock
injured, $56.20; roads, $1.034.01.
All members of the Couneli were
present for the meeting, which was
presided over by Reeve W. J. Dale.
