Farmer McFad- den's training showed in every play, Don Stone was the big scoring threat for Seaforth, collecting two tallies and •assisting in another. 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 just kept ganging in on the Lon- don zone and even when Lou Ball 9h'ad a twoaniau edge at one stage, London couldn't . find the target. Vena, Shantz and Stone were the marksmen for Seaforth.

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- Additional stories featuring the opening of the Seaforth District High School addition appear on Pages 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this issue. 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. After, the diasmion period, games were played wtth: winners as fellows: ladies, Mrs. F)phialam Clarke, Mrs. Seeord McBrlen, Mrs. S. Mc43iure; men, Walter Scott, S. +McClure, Walter McClure. li'% �1t,�dt}rnl�C'�l'ibmvfp to 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 the introduction of buses, 24 pupils Minister oF Education $150,000 Addition to S.

Mr. Daly did his first draw• ing of the school in 1933 for the Alumni Year Book of that year. When ,an addi- tion was constructed in 1939, Mr. Daly prepared a neat drawing, and now the series has been brought up to date. The first two drawings ap- pear on Page 2. 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 gave the pond coedit far saving the building. - In'addition to rhe damaged. build- ing. 200 laying heirs were destroy- ed by smoke. attended the Seaforth School. whereas now 71 pupils are coming in each school day. He referred 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- latedstudent •I the 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 read a telegram which had been received from a former principal. Lorne Fox, extending congratula- tions. -' Rev. H. D. Stewart, of Toronto, a graduate of the school, gave the prayer of invocation. 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 Centre. A capacity crowd was present. Mrs. Stevenson, the former Mag- 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 marriage at the Presbyterian manse, Cranbrook, on November 9, 1904, by Rev. D. B. McRae. They have lived continuously on their farm on the 10th concession since then. Their family consists of two daughters, Mrs. Stanley (Margaret) Speiran. Ethel, and Mrs. Kay Mat- thews, Toronto. One son, Murray, died in infancy. Thele are two grandsons, Maurice D.

A three-tier wedding cake was prominently dis- played: After Mr. and Mrs. Steven- son son had met old and new friends, 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 happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Steven- son plan to buy a television set with the gift.

Preceding and following the ceremonies, the audience examined the school and saw the activities which were being carried on. In each of the classrooms, teachers and students had arranged demonstrations and expiained the - nature of the work which was being proceeded with. Lunch was served in the school cafeteria.
