Seaforth Baldwins, in their'ti 1rd

London Lou Balis 6-3 in London
Tuesday night. For the Bails it
was 4, ,sir fourth straight loss.
Seaforth had a big edge in the
opening periled and ended the play
with a 3 to 1 -lead. London's Don
Quirie opened the scoring at 2:25,
but that didn't make any difference
as the Baldwins chalked up three

play,
Don Stone was the big scoring

Mary Shantz also picked up a pair
of 'markers, while Gary Vena and
Kevin Bell counted the others.
Quirie had a goal and an assist to
top the Londoners.
The rather ragged first period
was dominated by Seaforth , after
London's first goal. The Baldwins

London couldn't . find the target.
Vena, Shantz and Stone were the
marksmen for Seaforth.
London moved within striking
'distance shortly after the half -way

Sees7Opening
Ceremonies
A new $150,000 addition to Sea -
forth District High School was
officially. opened Tuesday evening
by Hon. W. J. Dunlop, Minister of
Education for Ontario. . Speaking
to a large audience, which com-
pletely filled the new auditorium,
Mr, Dunlop told of the aims of this
department in producing a prop -
early educated youth today.
"We are trying to produce a type
of citizen who will carry on the work
of his country; a citizen who is
well qualified in the basic essen-

tials of knowledge," he said. "We
want the student to be equipped
to take his place, to read, to write,
to spell, and to add. When these
fundamentals have been achieved,
it is time to look to other subjects
which are a mark of higher edu-
cation. But in achieving these
other subjects, time provided for
the basics must not be encroached
upon." -
Dr. Dunlop said that three ele-
ments entered into the education
of youth today -'the home, the
church and the school. Too fre-
quently the responsibilities, which
normally would be that of the
home, had been passed to the
school and this, in turn, has made
the problems of the average school
more difficult. The church, how-
ever, is continuing to do a splen-
did job, he said. -
Mrs. Stewart Dolmage with an at-
tendance of 26 adults.
Questions for discussion were:
(1) How have your buying habits
for food changed in the last 10
years. Answer: By buying in
smaller qudntities instead of in
bulk, fancy packaged articles . in
wax and cellophane; refrigeration,
being used more for meats, vege-
tables end fruits; more •buying co-
operatively and credit system than
10 years ago.
(2) How can the former adjust
himself ,,to the new trends in con
sumerebuy'ing? Answer: By grow -
ing
rowing varieties and grahl products
that meet the consumers' demand.
Keep up to date on insects, smut
control. Process some of his own
products before they leave the
Perin. Buy more co-operatively and
in larger ,quantities and reduce the
credit buying.

Compliments Board
Commenting on the, facilities
which the Seaforth District High
School Board has provided, Dr.
Dunlop congratulated the board on
making use of the existing build-
ing. Too frequently, he told his
audience, there Was a tendency to
demolish good buildings. No
matter bow good a school building
might be, the building itself can-
not provide good education without
good teachers. He was particular-
ly happy concerning the quality of
the teaching staff. Summing up
the job of education today, the
speaker said that students must
learn what the word democracy is.
They must be able to refute evil
ideas which sometimes are called
democratic, but which ar e not
democracy in the true sense of the
word. They must be loyal; they
must be religious; they must be
well. equipped to realize that their
freedom rests on the maintenance
of the institutions of the country
which, in the past. have served it
so well. In this connection, Dr.
Dunlop suggested that it was de-
sirable that flags fly in school
buildings and that pictures of the
reigning sovereign should appear
in classrooms. He was pleased, he
said, to have seen that this was
the case in the Seaforth District
High School. -
Discussing the cost of education,
Dr. Dunlop said that each year his
department distributed some $80,-
000,000 in grants of one type or
another and that, at the moment.
this money was going to provide
for the education of 978,000 pupils.
Pupils in Ontario were increasing
to the number of 63,000 each year.
Students Come From Exeter
The minister was introduced by
Thomas Pryde, M.L.A. for Huron,
who commented on the excellent
job which -the board of. the Sea -
forth District High School had
done in improving the facilities of
the school buildings. Mr. Pryde
recalled that a number of gradu-
ates of the Seaforth school had.
made names for themselves in the
educational world and referred
particularly to Howard Kerr, Gor-
don Wright and William Laing,
who occupy prominent positions in
the Department of Education. Stan-
ley Randolph, formerly of Stanley
Township, also is a well known
executive in the department, he
said, and he recalled, too, that a
former principal, G. F. Rogers,
rose to be a Deputy Minister of
Education. In the years when he
first came to this district, Seaforth
Collegiate Institute had a name
which was second to none, so
much so that a number of stu-
dents in his town of Exeter had
come to Seaforth to get their edu-
cation. -
More From McKillop
Gordon McGavin, chairman of
the District Board, was chalentan
for the evening and in his remarks
pointed out the efferenee that ex-
isted
xisted today as a result of the in-
troduction of the bus systems serv-
ing the district. In his, own tOWn
ship of M0Tiillop, "he said, 'before

Scott Fire Confined
Credit Farm Pond
Lots of water in a nearby pond,
and the arrival of an employee who
discovered the blaze, combined to
save a large building at Scott's
Poultry Farm early Friday from
destruction. As it was, damage
estimated in excess of $2,000 re-
sulted.
The fire was discovered by Ken-
neth (,"hambers when he arrived
for work about 5:30. Seaforth fire-
men, with two trucks, ansti%ered
the alarm.
The fire, had started in the ceil-
ingof the top storey of a laying
pen, and firemen were forced to
tear off sections of roofing to fight
the blaze, pumping water from a
farm pond. After 214 hours there
was no more danger and firemen

to the fact that Seaforth is giving
consideration to the celebration of
its 100th anniversary next year,
and pointed out that when former
pupils return to the school they
will see a building of which they
may well be proud. He congratu-

staff and d
body and paid tribute to the job
t
which the staff was doing.. The
problems during the transition per-
iod and while the addition was be-
ing constructed were great, he
said, but, as a result of co-opera-
tion by all using the school, it
was possible to carr the task to
completion. This uaiicatei, he
thought. that there need be no
doubt as to the quality of the stu-
dent today. As a result of his
experience, he had great faith in
the young people of the present
day. In concluding, Mr. McGavin

District Couples Recall
Wedding Occasions
Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Jordan
On Friday evening about thirty
guests surprised Mr. and Mrs. Pat-
rick Jordan, Dublin, on the. occa-
sion of their silver wedding day.
Mr. and Mrs. Jordan were married
November 12, 1929, at St, Colum -
ban Church, St. Columban, by the
late Father Dantzer. Mrs. Jordan
was the former Mary McIver,
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
John McIver. and Mr. Jordan is,
the son of the late Mr. and Mrs.
William Jordan.
Mr. and Mrs. Jordan operated a
farm on Hiiway No. 8 for sever-
al years, aria in 1935 moved to
Dublin, where they have been resi-
dents ever since. Mr. Jordan is in
the trucking business.
Progressive euchre was played
with William O'Rourke and Mrs.
McIver, Seaforth, winning the priz-
es Leonard Feeney read an ad-
dress of good wishes. Mrs. Mich-
ael Nagle presented Mr. and 'Mrs.
Jordan with a silver tea service
and a dozen silver teaspoons. A
lunch was served by Mrs. Nagle
and Mrs. Catherine Feeney.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stevenson
Mr. and Mrs. William C. Steven-
son, 10th concession. Grey. Town-
ship, celebrated the 50th annivers-
ary
of their wedding on Friday
eve-
ning in the ..Cran'brook Community

present.

gie Maude Adams, and William
Too Grand Buildings
Greetings from the Town of Sea -
forth were extended by Mayor E.
A. McMaster. He said that as a
citizen of Seaforth, he was happy
to see the construction proceeded
with., because every new building
which was introduced into Sea -
forth had the effect of making the
town that much better. -He con-
gratulated the Board on the job
which it had done, and said that
this was an indication of the re-
sults that could be obtained by
a few people determined to carry
a job through to completion. He
continued to be amazed at the,
great results which are obtained
by a-relati 'eTy small number of
people, and at the same time the
large number of citizens who do
not assume any responsibility with
respect to the community.
Mayor McMaster was particular-
ly interested in the economical
manner in which the board had
proceeded to increase the accom-
modation of the school. All too
frequently, he said, there is a ten-
dency in communities to build elab-
orate schools simply in order to
get thee/Pant which is held out to
the mikicipality by the province.
The tendency Is to spend too much
money on grand buildings because,
after all, teachers are the most
important part of the school edu-
cational program. Certainly in
Seaforth:, he was satisfied the -peo-
ple of the Seaforth School District
were getting good value for their
eduoaonal dollar.
W4r4en 'W, $. Dale, who brought
gree b 8, of !Boron County, and
who himself is a former student
of the school, indicated to his audi-
ence that. in his opinion, the dis-
trict was at the beginning of an
era which would see the construc-
tion of many new schools and new
hospitals. In his opinion, it could
be anticipated that there would be
a great increase in population in
the area and this would make nec-
essary increased accommodation.
John H. Gillin. who designed the
new fireproof structure, was intro-
duced as was also David Smith,
representing the general contrac-
tors, Ellis -Don Construction Co., of
London. -
Principal L. P. Plumsteel ex-
pressed, on behalf of the student
body and the staff, the apprecia-
tion for the assistance and co-op-,
era.tion of the Department of Edu-
cation and of the Board which has
made possible the improved facili-
ties. He felt the remarks of the
Minister of Education not only
were a challenge to the student
body. but to the parents as well,
because, after all• he said, the at-
titude of the parents has much to
do with the attitude of the pupil.
Mr. Plumsteel drew attention to
the fact that Seaforth District
High School had available to the
student body more, scholarships
than the average district school,
and told the gathering particularly
of the Scott Memorial Scholarships
which are restricted to pupils of
the school.
Curtis Stevenson were united in

played: After Mr. and Mrs. Steven-
son

a program was presented with
James Brenner as master of cere-
monies. •
At the close of the program Mr.
and Mrs. Stevenson were called to
the platform and presented with a
gift of money. J. A. Wilson read
the address and Mrs. •Leslie Lake
made the presentation.
Members of the Ethel branch of
the 'Women's Institute served re-
freshments. The balance of the
evening wasspent in dancing with
Ross McTaggart. Stewart McNair,
Mr. a.nd Mrs. Orville Harrison and
Mr. and Mrs. George Evans supply-
ing the music.
Everyone wished the couple
many more years of health and
