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'.

"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- law; secretary -treasurer, John Weir; patron, M. Y. McLean; chaplain, Rev. A. McDonald. Some of the other early names are those of John A. Wilson, A. Young, E. C. Coleman, Alex Wilson, W. 12. Bright, D. D. Wilson, W. Counter, F. Tweddle. Also in 1893 William Ament and Oscar Neil appear for the first time. In 1896 appear R. S. ,Hays, J. M. Best and F. Holm- sted, and Tom Stevens, Sr., and W. Willis. In 1897 are Dr. F. J. Burrows, James Dick, Rufus Win- ter, Dr. Mackay, Ed. Hinchley, J. Killoran, W. Bethune, H. Cress- well, Wm. Hartry and his son, Howard Hartry. In 1899, John F. Daly and Dr. R. R. Ross were `members. In 1901, F. Kling and Dr. F. H. Larkin were members. In 1902, John Beattie was an audi- tor. Also taking part in the program were Judge F. Fingland, who gave invocation; G. S. Huether, Presi- dent of the Stratford Club, and R. N Bissonnett. W. J.

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.
