President of the C.N.R., asking him to have the Canadian National " Railway museum train at Seaforth some- time during the reunion occasion. Since the celebration here marks the 100th anniversary of the build- ing of the railway through what is now Seaforth. it would be particu- larly fitting to have the pioneer train on exhibit here during that time. The invitation committee, head- ed by Miss Hazel Reid, held an en: thusiastic meeting last weekend and laid the groundwork necessary to obtain many additional names of former residents. The commit- tee is hard at work looking over lists of former students who at- tended Seaforth Public School in years gone by, and hope within a few clays to do a similar task with former pupils of the Seaforth Col- legiate Institute and Seaforth Dis- trict Binh School As an example o1 the co-opera- tion which the rural schools are extending is the reunion occasion being arranged by former pupils of S.S. No. 3, Ribbert. which is being held nn Saturday. July 23, a week before the opening of the Seaforth Reunion. The thought of the committee is that many will wish to come home to attend the Seaforth Reunion and at the same time will attend the reunion of the Staffa school. A committee, head- ed by •Lyle ll'orden, is busy com- pleting details of the one -day pro- gram and another committee is seeking the names of former stu- dents. These should be sent to the secretary, Miss Vera Hambley, Staffa. It is hoped that similar reunions will be arranged by each of the school sections in the Sea - forth area. Winthrop C.G.i.T.
