to all who had co-operated in mak-
ing possible the curling aceemmoa
dation. He was introduced by J.
E. Keating, who spoke of the work
Dr. Munn had done. He pointed
out the manner in which the rink
complements the activities of the
arena, and how the rink contd.
butes to the town through the
payment of taxes and in the pur-
chase of coolant from the arena
commission.
Dr. Munn mentioned particular-
ly the co-operation that existed be-
tween the club and members in
Clinton and R.C.A.F. Station, Clin-
ton. He paid tribute to the excel-
lent job which the building com-
mittee of F. Kling, N. MacLean,
J. A. Stewart, William Campbell
and H. Ball .had done.
Referring to -the historical back-
ground of the club, Dr. Munn said
that the annual meeting this sea-
son marked the 78th consecutive
year that the club had been reg-
istered as a -member of the Ontario
Curling Association, which he felt
was not far from a record.
"I have been privileged during
the past few days to scan the re-
cords and minutes of meetings
since 1890. Unfortunately, the
books for the years- from 1876 to
1890 have been lost. By the way,
if any of you can come across
these records, we would very
much like to have them," he said.
"I would like you to visualize in
your imagination, curling facili-
ties in 1876, „just a few years af-
ter Seaforth was born, or even in
1890 when our records are avail-
able. There were no telephones
or electric lights, or high compres-
sion motors, and artificial ice
wasn't even a dream. How've'. I
am told that they had real win-
ters then, and perhaps natural ice

wasn't so bad.
"Nevertheless, there were great
achievements anis a tradition was
established Dr. 3iunn said, which
contributed' to the high place in
sporting fields of many varieties
for which Seaforth became widely
known. Curling rinks from Sea -
forth Curling Club competed for
trophies not only in Ontario, but
even as far away as Minneapolis,
and they brought home their share
of the honors."
"Names found in these old re-
cords strike a familiar sound for
those who have been resident here
for many years," he said.
In 1890 ,the president was W. O.
Reid; vice-president, J. C. Laid-

last year received a grant of
$2,000 from county funds, report-
ed that it has been getting increas-
ed support from the general pub-
lic, and that all it asks from the
county for 1955 is a grant of $1,500.
Requests for grants were receiv-
ed also from the Goderich Little
Theatre, the Belgrave School Fair,
the Canadian National Institute
for the Blind, the St. John Ambu-
lance Association, Huron Crop and
Soil Improvement Association, the
Perth -Huron Jersey Club, the ,Hur-

were referred to the council's fin-
ance committee, for report later
this week.
Another request which is before
✓ county council at this session is
, one from Stanley Township, ask -
✓ ing for a county fox bounty. There
✓ has been a great increase in the
_ fox population in Stanley, the
1- township council reports, and the
argument is advanced that the
cost of encouraging the shooting
p of foxes should be a county re-
sponsibility.

It was a rather remarkable ac-
complishment," he said, "it com-
pares with the finan.cing of the

BAYFIELD MOVES
TO REPLACE
100 -YEAR SCHOOL
A special meeting was held in
Bayfield Thursday night to which
taxpayers were called by the trus-
tees of the 100 -year-old public
school to discuss the building of a
new school for the village.
The present two -room school has
an enrolment of 76, including 19
pupils from School Section No. 8
in Goderich Township.
According to Mrs. Martha Bail-
ey, a trustee, approval is being
sought from School Sections No.
13 and No. 3, Stanley Township,
and No. 8 in Goderich Township,
to join with the village and enter
into a school area. If this occurs,
a four -room school to accommo-
date 150 would be built on a new
site.
However, Bayfield taxpayers
must give their approval in a ple-
biscite. If it is decided to build
the school for just Bayfield a
two -room building would be 'built
on the same site as the present
one at an estimated cost of $40,-
000. It is expected that. by the
end of February the school sec-
tions will know what action is to
be taken.
Chairman of the Bayfield board
is., Spencer Ervine, and trustees
include Mrs. Bailey and Robert
Blair, while Leslie Elliott. is sec-
retary -treasurer.
G. G. Gardiner, Goderich, In-
spector of Public Schools for
South Huron, attended the meet-
ing and answered questions that
arose. There are 360 taxpayers
in the village and one-third, at
least, are summer residents. All
would be eligible to vote on the
issue.
